The bunker buzzed softly with preparations. Weapons were checked, astras reviewed, and supplies packed. Yet amidst the hustle, the Divine Descendants found a rare moment to pause.
Arjun sat by the window, gazing at the darkening sky. Narayana approached quietly.
Narayana:
"You carry a heavy burden, Arjun. The legacy of Gandivam, the hopes of us all."
Arjun nodded slowly.
Arjun:
"Sometimes it feels like too much. But with all of you… it's easier."
Nearby, Nikki tended to her divine beast, brushing its fur with care. Dev shuffled his cards thoughtfully.
Nikki:
"You always seem so calm, Dev. How do you do it?"
Dev smiled faintly.
Dev:
"It's all about seeing the possibilities — even in chaos, there's order. You just have to find it."
Nikki laughed softly.
Nikki:
"I'll try to remember that when I'm charging into battle."
Ved entered the room, his mace resting against the wall.
Ved:
"We may be young, but we stand on the shoulders of legends. Our strength isn't just in our powers — it's in our unity."
He looked at each of them in turn.
Ved:
"Trust each other. That will carry you farther than any Astra."
The team gathered in a circle, hands joined.
Arjun:
"Whatever happens out there, we face it together. No one left behind."
They echoed the sentiment, voices steady and strong.
