Chapter 15: "Andhere Ki Dagar Pe Pehla Kadam"
---
Scene 1: Early Morning – Academy Courtyard
Hayashi academy ke rooftop pe khada hota hai. Hawa thodi thandi hai, lekin uske dil mein kuch aur hi storm chal raha hota hai.
Uske dimaag mein raat ki wo baat ghoom rahi hoti hai, jab Reinhardt ne kuch ajeeb sa kaha tha.
Hayashi (sochta hua):
"Reinhardt... tum badal rahe ho. Par kyun? Yeh kaisi jalan hai jo teri aankhon mein thi..."
Tabhi uska System ek aur notification drop karta hai:
> [System Alert]
“Divergence Level: Stage 1”
“Bond weakening: Reinhardt Draconis – Loyalty Drop Detected”
Hayashi ka chehra serious ho jaata hai. Background music low piano mein shift hota hai.

Scene 2: Reinhardt’s Room – Secret Packing
Reinhardt silently apna bag pack kar raha hota hai. Dragonscale armor, forbidden scrolls, aur ek glowing red gem jisme demonic aura vibrate ho raha hota hai.
Door khulta hai — Victoria andar aati hai.
Victoria:
"Reinhardt? Tum subah-subah... kahaan ja rahe ho?"
Reinhardt (light sa smile deta hai):
"Thoda personal training mission hai. Kisi ko batana mat..."
Victoria confused hoti hai, lekin kuch kehti nahi. Camera zoom karta hai us red gem pe.

Scene 3: Shadow Forest – Entry Point
Reinhardt academy ke forest gate tak aata hai. Wahaan ek shadowy figure uska intezaar kar raha hota hai — Zarek the Betrayer.
> Name: Zarek the Betrayer
Rank: Top 5 Demon General
Title: “The Shadow Whisperer”
Zarek:
"You feel it, don’t you? This world lied to you. Humans aren't heroes... they are the plague."
Reinhardt:
"I don’t trust demons... but I trust the truth."
Zarek (smirks):
"Then come. Walk into the abyss. Let it sharpen you."
Reinhardt uske saath darkness mein chala jaata hai.

Scene 4: Academy – Alarm Trigger
Suddenly, Headmaster Alarion ka Magitech Crystal glow karta hai. Alarm bajta hai.
Crystal Voice:
> “Unauthorized Exit – Code Red”
Hayashi aur Iris turant bulaye jaate hain.
Headmaster:
"Reinhardt border cross kar chuka hai. Humara suspicion hai ki uska contact Zarek se hua hai."
Iris (shocked):
"Yeh toh... betrayal hai!"
Hayashi (angrily):
"Nahi. Yeh kuch aur hai. Mujhe usse wapas lana hi hoga."

Scene 5: Hayashi’s Inner Conflict – Meditation Realm
Raat ko Hayashi meditation mein baithta hai. Uska mind system ke core se link karta hai.
Usse ek nayi skill unlock hoti hai:
> [Skill Unlocked]
“Foresight Thread – See fragments of destiny before they fall”
Jaise hi skill activate hoti hai, usko kuch terrifying visions dikhte hain:
Reinhardt – demonic armor mein
Hayashi – khud ke blood mein lathpath
Alicia – aansuon ke saath
Iris – ek black tower mein bandhi hui
Hayashi ka breathing heavy ho jaata hai. Woh aankhein kholta hai, full sweat mein.
Hayashi (determined):
"Nahi... main usse khone nahi de sakta."
