Moonlight bathed the palace in a surreal glow, casting shadows that danced with a life of their own as the cool night breeze whispered secrets to anyone willing to listen. Das stood on top of the palace, a solitary figure with the heavens as his witness.
The magical bow in his hand hummed with ancient power, a sapphire light pulsating in harmony with his heartbeat, ready to unleash hell on the forces that dared to threaten his home.
Below, an army of over ten thousand surged forward, a sea of hostility and vengeance with a single purpose - to overwhelm and conquer. The Aries family tag adorned each uniform, a clear message of intent from a family well-versed in the language of violence. They approached with advanced weaponry, cold and impersonal machines designed to kill without mercy.
But as the first shots rang out, echoing ominously in the night, Das stood atop waiting for the prey. Like a maestro conducting a symphony of destruction, his hands danced with the bow, a mesmerising whirl of motion. The two broken parts were tied around in his left hand, connecting the link with the spirit inside him.
Every fibre of his being was focused, driven, as he activated the ancient heirloom that hung heavily around his neck — a necklace he received at the ancient well of the shadow clan.
A transparent shield enveloped him, a barrier of light that shimmered with an otherworldly hue. The necklace pulsated, a heart beating fiercely in defence of its owner, as an ocean of cosmic blue arrows materialised from the bow in a ceaseless stream, each one harbouring the fury of a star and the precision of a hawk.
To the attackers, it was as if they were facing not a man but a living constellation, an entity of cosmic wrath and justice. Das had become an epicentre of blinding light, an unyielding beacon in the heart of darkness from which a torrent of arrows emerged with a hunger for vengeance. Justice to the
In a display of might that defied reality, arrows shot forth in every conceivable angle, each one finding its mark with an eerie intelligence, a sentient force of retribution that pierced armour and flesh with equal disdain.
The palace grounds became a canvas of horror, a grotesque artistry of blood and pain as soldiers fell in droves, their bodies punctured with bloody holes that whispered tales of a power ancient and untameable.

""Twelve Hours Before…""
The interior of the car was steeped in a suffocating atmosphere. The trunk bore the stifled breaths of Luis, a young master once brimming with life and vigour, now reduced to a pitiful state, a pawn in a dangerous game woven from threads of power, betrayal, and bloodlust.
Latha's grip on the steering wheel tightened as she absorbed Bella's words. Her youthful face bore a grim expression, a stark contrast to the naive exuberance that once dwelled there.

"Bella, what do you think about Das? Do you think he is on our side?" Latha asked while driving the car. Bella took a second to answer Lath's question.
"Latha, He is definitely not on Aries family side. Otherwise, he won't dare to lay finger on Luis. But at the same he is not on our side also."
"I don't understand why your sister gave him this much freedom in the start and let him control this city. Now, he is out of our hands. Most troublesome thing is Das is not easy to control or subdue."
"It is good that he is still maintaining a favourable relation with our family. Otherwise, we might had another formidable opponent beside Aries family." Bella gave a long explanation while staring straight. Her thought are running wild as she thought of Das.
"I know… my sister also had her reasons... but I can't shake the feeling that Das is a ticking time bomb, waiting for the perfect moment to explode. He is enigmatic, unpredictable. I fear... I fear what he might do next," Latha voiced out her deep-seated apprehension, her eyes flickering with uncertainty as they darted between the road ahead and Bella's solemn face.
"We are walking on a tightrope, Latha," Bella murmured, her voice betraying the fine line they tread between alliance and enemy with Das.
She looked out of the window, her eyes taking in the darkening skies as if seeking answers in the swirling mass of Grey clouds.
"At present, he is controlling the situation of our two hidden families with his actions. He's a master of his own game, moving pieces on a chessboard that only he can see. Das is... a force of situation and need, a man governed by his own code, impossible to predict, impossible to control.
And yet..." Bella paused, her gaze distant, as though trying to decipher the complex web of alliances and betrayals that knitted their world together.
"...And yet, we cannot afford to sever ties with him completely. He's too important, too entrenched in the city's underbelly to be disregarded. It's a delicate balance, maintaining a relationship with someone like Das, but it's a necessity. Aries is a formidable enemy, but Das...
Das could be a saviour or a harbinger of destruction, depending on which way the wind blows on the day of reckoning." The car seemed to shudder with her words, a portent of the tumultuous times that lay ahead.
Latha swallowed hard, the gravity of Bella's words cementing the harsh reality of their predicament. She couldn't shake off the cold tendrils of fear that crept into her heart at the thought of the unpredictable whirlwind that was Das.
As Latha increased the speed of the car, her anxiety spilled over into a pressing question directed at Bella.
"Bella, what about the price he asked for?" she inquired, her voice trembling with concern. "Are you really going to give him my father's blood?"
Bella, seemingly unruffled by the urgency of the situation, responded calmly, "Hmm... don't worry about that." She cast a mysterious smile, hinting at a hidden agenda. "Even though Das has the upper hand for now, there is an imminent threat looming over him."
"Think about the Aries family," Bella continued, her tone still enigmatic. "They will definitely know that Luis is missing by evening. Who do you think they will attack first?"
A sudden realisation dawned on Latha, her eyes widening with alarm. "What the...? How could I miss this?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with incredulity. "If thousands of Aries family forces really come to attack him, Das will be doomed."
Laughter bubbled from Bella, her amusement contrasting with the gravity of the situation. "Hahaha... Wait," Latha interjected, a note of concern creeping into her voice. "But my sister will definitely protect him if she knows this."
"Don't worry. Your sister won't receive this information. I will make her busy in your brother's funeral." Bella, still maintaining her enigmatic demeanour, reassured Latha.
With those ominous words, Bella retrieved her satellite mobile, signalling her intent to inform the Patriarch of the Farus family about their progress and achievements.

As the preparations for the night party at Das's palace swung into high gear, there was a flurry of activity on his end. The urgency of the situation had forced him to take swift action to ensure the safety of his loved ones and the security of his stronghold.
First on his list of priorities was contacting his closest confidantes and allies. He knew that the threat against him was real, and he couldn't afford to take any chances. He placed calls to his trusted girlfriends, urging them to make their way to the palace promptly. His concern for their safety was evident, as he believed that they might be targeted next.
Except for the Reddy family fellows, Das called other girls to reach the palace in one hour.
Simultaneously, Das reached out to the formidable Shadow clan forces, the skilled guardians of his realm. He issued strict orders for them to lay low for the night, maintaining a vigilant perimeter around the palace. Their mission was clear: to deny the enemy any opportunity to escape once they entered his domain.
Red Rose assumed a critical role. She meticulously arranged traps and concealed landmines to deter intruders. Additionally, she prepared automatic small-scale missiles, ready to smash any threat posed by tanks or heavy artillery from the Aries family forces.
Amidst this whirlwind of activity, Faruk, the current patriarch of the Abdullah family, took charge of the evacuation efforts. He oversaw the safe removal of civilians from the danger zone while ensuring the transfer of valuable assets and treasures to secure locations. His leadership in this time of crisis was crucial to the well-being of the community.
With everyone mobilised and given their specific tasks, Das turned his attention to Serena, the beauty who is slowly occupying an essential place in his life.
