I went to meet Jagan at his house, bringing along my latest drawings. He had a class to attend, but he promised to join us later. Before I left, I asked him about a project he had been working on.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZMY5N0ym5
Jagan always believed that science could be just as powerful as spirituality in our missions. Inspired by movies like Ghostbusters, he had built all kinds of gadgets. Some worked. Some didn't. But more than once, his inventions had saved our lives.

Even if his methods were a little crazy, I trusted his heart.

📍 Restoran Nasi Kandar Di Naina, KL
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbkfXqViKy
I met Martin at his usual breakfast spot - a humble Nasi Kandar joint tucked between shoplots. He was halfway through his roti canai banjir with teh tarik when he saw me walk in.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSJxPTIQXU
"Let me guess... another case?" he grinned.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y2Tx9lIQ2
I ordered the same and sat down beside him, unrolling my sketchbook.
I had recently mastered realistic portrait drawing - a skill that helped me capture my dreams exactly as I saw them. Every line told a story. Every shadow whispered something hidden.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKfI3bn71
As we ate, I told Martin about last night's dream.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVWT02LAsB
The woman.
The scream.
And the tattoo of a pigeon on her right leg.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugvWunKpy
He paused. "Have you seen her in real life yet?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sQpbLlZT7
I shook my head. "Not yet."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3MBrl03Ri
Martin leaned back. His expression turned serious.
"Then you already know what this means."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhbhXiNznx
We did. After all these years, some things had become clear - and terrifying.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryEJE00sf6
The people I saw in my dreams were real.
They were going to die exactly the way I saw.
And once they died, they'd come looking for me... within six hours.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX2djS4Aze
If they didn't, something was wrong.
Blocked.
Trapped.
Maybe even attacked by the demons that preyed on lost souls.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDdNecWfxO
These creatures weren't random. They were sent by someone -
An ancient sorcerer. A being of immense power. A shadow behind the curtain.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgorz71qjh
We only knew him as The Conqueror.
He lived in a mirror world, sealed and cursed, yet his reach slipped into ours.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68E789hFqj
We still didn't know why he targeted souls here. Why only Malaysians? Or those who died in this country?
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RzxGy0l2A
But we did know how to fight back.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawl8Jz4RO
When a soul is blocked, I must use the Chakran - a magical mask that allows me to meditate and see their most important personal object. Once we track it within 24 hours, I can use my Thrisula pendant to call them back from the demon's grip.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAW7AUBzcP
But there's a catch.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJfDTzkcSc
Every time we do this, we only get seven days.
Seven days to solve the case.
Or the soul is lost forever.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF55FiRTomI
Until now, we've never let the Conqueror win.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu8Y1oQz8v
Martin called the police control room to check if there were any suicidal cases reported yesterday. While we waited for updates, my phone buzzed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLjzYo6KGo
It was a call from my sister.

📍Hospital Pantai, Cheras

Martin and I rushed to the emergency ward.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluUAvuZqfy
My sister was there. So was Kayal.
Her eyes were full of tears.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGog94ksg
She told me what had happened.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmLiiu4r5l
My father had suffered a heart attack.
Not his first.
He had been a heart patient for years - and we had no idea.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqARYKtlSQ
He had kept it a secret. Even from me and my sister.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKE5zsUzKb
Kayal explained that he had made her promise not to tell us until he chose to.
I couldn't believe it. We thought we knew our father... but somehow, we didn't.
Not the way our mother did.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeepznbIuA
Dr. Agilan stepped out of the ward, his voice stern but caring.
"He's safe now. Stable. But that idiot didn't even tell me about his condition either."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJlcLAXwoh
He told us our father needed to rest for a few hours before being moved to the ward. We could visit after that. A little relief washed over me. At least he was safe.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGRiI0a5ls
Kayal offered to stay and take care of everything. My sister agreed to stay with her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oFlTjSqih
Martin and I prepared to leave. There was still a mission waiting for us.
But just before I stepped out, Kayal pulled me aside.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuAkWMIG3k
She apologized for keeping the truth from me.
I told her it was okay. I understood.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCV87lGywO
Then I told her about the new case.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRofrL7oylv
She looked into my eyes and whispered,
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTySG3ZCn
> "Go save the world, hero."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFVizBhVTy
She hugged me tightly. And in that moment, I realized how much I owed her.
Since Amma's passing... she had been my anchor. She took care of our family while I ran around chasing shadows and saving souls.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud5cyyQqhF
We both knew we had feelings for each other.
But we never said it.
Because we both felt... it wasn't the time yet.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS3g9aZ0BE
I nodded and left with Martin.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRvzzuXNik
As we walked out of the hospital, my phone ra

ng again.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMbU7WfK21
It was Jagan.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJgyUD45KG
His voice was urgent.
