Destiny Of Immortality

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden hue across the Rai family estate. Inside the grand hall, the air was thick with tension, as Diwahang's mind raced with questions. After the events of the past week, his trust in his closest generals had been shattered. The poisonings, the sabotage—everything pointed to someone within his circle, yet he had no solid proof. It was as though a ghost was haunting the Rai family, its presence felt but never seen.

Shree Yan stood in the corner of the room, his expression calm as always. His sharp eyes observed every movement, every word spoken. To others, he appeared to be just another member of Diwahang's growing circle, but to those who truly understood the art of manipulation, Shree Yan was the puppeteer, and Diwahang was but one of his marionettes.

Diwahang paced back and forth, his frustration boiling over. "Who is it, Shree Yan?" he demanded. "Who in my family would betray me like this? Who is trying to destroy everything I've worked for?"

Shree Yan tilted his head, studying Diwahang carefully. He knew that the time to make his next move had arrived. "Big Brother," he said softly, his voice laced with concern, "there is always more beneath the surface. You cannot see it now, but the answer is closer than you think."

Diwahang's eyes flicked to him. "What do you mean?"

"I mean," Shree Yan continued, stepping forward, "you've been looking in the wrong places. The traitor is not someone distant—it is someone you trust implicitly. Someone who has been by your side all along."

Diwahang's heart skipped a beat. "Who? Tell me, Shree Yan. I need to know."

Shree Yan feigned hesitation, his eyes narrowing with a touch of sympathy. "I cannot simply tell you. The truth must come from your own realization. Trust me, Big Brother, when you see it, you will know who the traitor is."

A Seed of Doubt

Days passed, and the seed of doubt that Shree Yan had planted in Diwahang's mind began to sprout. Each conversation, every glance from a trusted general, now felt like a potential betrayal. Diwahang became consumed by the thought that someone close to him was plotting against him, and his paranoia began to grow.

Shree Yan, ever the patient schemer, watched with quiet amusement. He knew that the more Diwahang questioned his own people, the closer he would come to unraveling the fabric of his once-united family. And once the trust was broken, Shree Yan would be there, ready to fill the void.

Meanwhile, the Rai family generals—each a potential suspect—grew uneasy. Whispers of internal conflict began to circulate, and every conversation seemed to carry an underlying tension. Shree Yan, with his acting skill, moved through the halls like a ghost, whispering just the right words into the ears of those who might serve his purpose.

One evening, as Diwahang held another meeting with his generals, Shree Yan took his place at the far end of the table, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable.

"Big Brother," General Aaryan spoke up cautiously, "I believe we need to take decisive action against the traitor within our ranks. The longer we delay, the more our enemies will take advantage of our internal strife."

Diwahang turned to him, his eyes darkened by suspicion. "Do you have anyone in mind, General?"

Aaryan hesitated for a moment. "No, but the longer we wait, the more dangerous this becomes. We cannot afford to show weakness."

Shree Yan observed the exchange carefully, his lips curling into a slight smile. This was exactly what he wanted—to fuel the fire of distrust, to push Diwahang closer to a breaking point. He knew that soon, someone would be blamed, and Diwahang's fragile leadership would crumble under the weight of his own insecurities.

The Trap is Set

Days later, the moment Diwahang had been waiting for finally arrived. One of his generals, a man he had once trusted implicitly, was accused of orchestrating the poisoning. The evidence was thin—just a few questionable actions, a handful of rumors—and yet, Diwahang had already made up his mind.

The general, a loyal servant to the Rai family for many years, was dragged before Diwahang, trembling with confusion and fear. His eyes darted nervously as he tried to explain himself, but the seed of doubt planted by Shree Yan had already taken root. Diwahang's trust had already been broken.

"You betrayed me," Diwahang spat, his voice laced with venom. "You poisoned my people. You tried to tear this family apart!"

The general's face went pale. "No, Diwahang, I swear! I am loyal to you! I did not—"

"Enough!" Diwahang shouted, his patience finally snapping. "I have no time for lies."

Shree Yan, standing silently in the background, watched the scene unfold with satisfaction. He had manipulated the situation perfectly. Diwahang, now consumed with rage, had condemned an innocent man. The cracks in his leadership were widening, and soon, the entire foundation of the Rai family would collapse.

As the guards took the general away, Diwahang turned to Shree Yan, his expression dark and grim. "You were right," he murmured. "The traitor has been dealt with."

Shree Yan bowed respectfully, though his eyes gleamed with ambition. "Big Brother, you did what was necessary. But remember, there is always another layer to this puzzle. The game is far from over."

A New Power Emerges

Shree Yan's influence continued to grow. With each decision Diwahang made, he unknowingly played into Shree Yan's hands. The families' power was fracturing, and Shree Yan was ready to fill the void.

But despite his success, he knew his true goal remained far from reach. Immortality. Freedom from the illusionary world that bound him. And to achieve it, he needed more than just power—he needed knowledge. Forbidden knowledge. The kind that could only be found in the ancient texts hidden deep within the Rai family's vault.

With a calculating glint in his eyes, Shree Yan set his sights on his next objective. The vault. It was time to take the next step on his path to immortality.
