It was a night like no other, birds flying away, thunder in the sky, rain, animals were uncontrollable. The whole continent was afraid, the dwarves in the northern mountains felt tremors, the elves of the south were facing strong winds, the demi-humans of the middle desert saw sand storms, and the holy empire of the west was a whole different case. All the priests were confused, the high priests were going through old records, scrolls, paintings, and everything they could find on what was causing these natural disasters, there were even reported tsunamis from the eastern coast. The main high temple was too surrounded by storms, rain, and crows who were sometimes slamming into windows or walls.
Here on the far east, kingdom of Vedhara, even with the tension and bad omens in the air, the real tension and was in the palace's inner chamber, where the most important women of the kingdom queen Meghana was in labor for more than 7 hours, queen Meghana never had a child before it was her first, and maybe even the last, she was the first wife of king Digvijay Singh who also was under stress and uncertain, information from the priests and midwives, it was concerning. The king kept roaming the hallway outside the bed chambers with a serious face. At the end of the hallway alongside a pillar stood a 7 year old boy, with royal clothes, with him stood Chandni, King Digvijay's second wife. Digvijay was always a loyal husband, never cheating, never drunk on power, he was also a very good king, when he rose to power he introduced education to the common people, he was a liberator in a time where bloodline and status decided everything. Meghana was the love of his life, but they could not have a child for many years, feeling concerned the ministers and temple urged to have a second wife for a king without an heir is a bad sign. Then reluctantly the King married Chandni and had a son, but even with all this he never left Meghana, and now after all these years they were finally having a child.
The king saw that he was not alone in the hallway anymore. His trusted general Adiraj Raghuvanshi, who was King's most trusted partner, stood with the temple priest Dharmpala Bharadwaj, who was the high priest of the temple. Digvijay already knew why they were here. He approached them, the first to speak was Adhiraj " You know what this means, if queen Meghana gives birth to a son'' Digvijay interrupted him and said " I know what this means do not teach me of politics, just hope for the best you have followed me all this time follow me now. I also do not want this to turn out how it did during our time" Dharmpala spoke " your majesty , i do not mean to discourage you but maybe you should reconsider having this child, the skies are tearing apart the winds are not forgiving, the diyas are not lighting up properly, i sense a bad omen maybe you should!" Dharmpala was quiet or more like scared, because the King was staring right into his eye, without flinching, he stared at him and said in a very deep and calm voice " ENOUGH, I am your king not the other way around, the only reason the temple has survived is because they knew where to not poke their nose, if you said one more word, you will see the Digvijay of the past" the priest went quiet after that and the only noise was of the queen trying her hardest to give birth to the fruit of her love.
The holy empire in the west had all its high priests and generals gathered around in the capital which was built surrounding a massive temple of their sun god. All of the high priests and generals were now sitting in front of the statue of the sun god RA, the highest of the priests was doing his aarti and after saying his prayers he stepped down to face the confused people in front of him. He said "I just had a prophecy given by RA, it said about a tyrant who will consume the world under its banner, wage wars, commit genocide, reject the temple, burning it down, ending our holy empire" everyone was stunned, some frightened,they started querling about how it was impossible or how they should move forward, then the general proposed something " what if we raise a hero, and a saint" everyone went silent, they looked at the high priest, he said nothing, after some silence the high priest sighed, and locked his eyes with the general and said " Find two children, one male one female with the highest compatibility with devine power, we will declare tomorrow about the prophecy being about a new hero ans a saintess".
Vedhara kingdom, the queen Meghana had finally given birth, the cries of a child echoed in the room. Digvijay went inside, he saw the queen holding the child, he moved towards her, Meghana gave the child to him, and said " Durgavati-her name", Digvijay saw her and the baby, he exchanged glances between both of them, then kept his eyes on the baby. He saw how small she was, how she had stopped crying, a tear ran down his left cheek. After seeing the scene Meghana felt relieved, she closed her eyes and started breathing very slowly until she stopped, Digvijay tried to wake her up but she didn't respond. She was as still as a statue, losing her life, Digvijay kept calling her name but his efforts were not rewarded, for she was gone.
In the holy kingdom somewhere deep in the holy mountain is a place where no one is allowed to enter, except the high priest and the holy maiden every fifty years. There is a slumbering beast who had been asleep for five decades. It had woken up today because of all the bad omens in the atmosphere, with all the storms, tsunamis, tremors in the earth. The beast looked in the night sky with deep thought. She was awake since all the disturbance had started, but now the sky was clearing, the beast could now feel the moonlight on its skin and thought ' finally someone who can free me from this curse, i pray that judgement day comes fast'.
