What was located in their he was the one who put it there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pond—Was not ordinary. It was sealed. Hidden. Protection which he left for two bows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which once shook the worlds and protected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not meant to be found by the wrong hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He... found it?

No more hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kids hesitate... Men choose...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. His eyes sharpened forgetting he was still a kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Legends take both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both hands moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left—To Pinaka\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right—To Kodanda\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his fingers touched them—Reality shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if waiting for him to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t underwater anymore. He wasn’t on the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood—In something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second—He thought it was his inner realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no. This was different. He wasn’t creating it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was witnessing a history of memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him—Three cities. Floating. Massive. Identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To each other appeard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet—Different. One made of Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second one made of Silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third one is made of Iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved. In perfect alignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orbiting like celestial bodies. Waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the vision shifted—To Vishwakarma\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forging. Shaping. Creating—Pinaka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not as a weapon. But as inevitability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then vision changed—He appeared. Lord Shiva with serious expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not as a man. But as something vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His form expanded—Towering beyond comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinaka—In its true form—Was drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The string—Vibrated with creation itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—It came. He summoned a astra as he drew the string. Which started forming through his divine energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pashupatastra\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only summoned—Unleashed as he left the string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which caused several waves of viberations passes around the space due to the force behind the astra and the string of Pinaka bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow flew. Not like an arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a falling star. No—Faster. It struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three—At once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single moment. A single impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—The cities—Did not burn.Did not collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They—Ceased at the same time like it has never existed if not for the broken remaining on the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would think there were no cities as such before and ever existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sound. No resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only—Nothing. A silence after destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there—Watching—Feeling it—Devara understood what it means to be chosen by Pinaka bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not just power. This was finality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinaka was not a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—A decision. To end.
