Jelapang, Ipoh
2:30 a.m.
I saw an old woman holding a sinister staff, trying to unlock an ancient door bound with heavy ropes and chains. She struggled for a long time, muttering strange words under her breath, but her efforts failed. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot out from the door, striking her down.
As she fell to the ground, the old woman slowly turned her head toward me. Her glowing eyes locked onto mine — and in that terrifying moment, I woke up.
Even though it was just a dream, an uneasy feeling lingered inside me, as if something terrible was about to happen.
The next day, I told Professor Magizh and my friends about what I had seen. They immediately suspected that the old woman could be the same evil witch the priest had mentioned a few days earlier. After hours of discussion, we uncovered something that connected everything — a reference to the same monster fought by Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva in an ancient text.
Intrigued, we decided to study the book. To our surprise, the cover bore a familiar mark — the symbol of the Third Eye. The author was none other than the great Indian writer, Devarajan.
As we read further, we learned more about the legend. Decades after the witch’s original curse was broken, an evil prince — obsessed with black magic and dark sorcery — revived her powers in an attempt to reclaim his lost kingdom. The witch helped him win the war and regain his throne, but she betrayed him soon after. She forced him to marry her, taking control of his mind and soul.
With his body as her vessel, she used every means possible to free her master — the ancient monster sealed away long ago. But one day, a group of powerful warriors arrived in the kingdom to stop her and rescue the prince. That was where the story ended in the book. Devarajan mentioned that the continuation would be revealed in his next volume.
Shocked and curious, we decided we had to meet him. Fortunately, Professor Magizh managed to pull some strings and arranged an appointment with Devarajan himself.
When we told him everything — my dream, the coincidences, the ancient symbols — he listened carefully and then said something that sent chills down my spine:
“You must be the key.”
Then he showed us his own findings from years of research. The story, he said, had been passed down to him by his grandfather — a devoted follower of Lord Krishna. And what he revealed next would change everything we thought we knew about the legend…
