When I woke up, I found myself in my room. I saw my grandparents.

"Nana?" I asked.

"I'm here. Just went to get you some water. You should have a water jug here in your room." Nana walked in with a glass of water and jug. He sat next to me. I hugged him.

"I..." He patted my head.

"Don't stress over it. Just breathe and calm down. Here, drink some water."

Guru Parshuram and Guru Atri walked in. I stood up and kneeled down before Guru parshuram.

"I.. I'm sorry. I... I never meant to h...hurt you. I... I .." He made me stand up.

"Sonakshi, do I look like I'm injured?" He asked. I nodded a no. "Yes. So, nothing happened. You just jumped into your inner Kali."

"I d...don't..." I coughed.

"Drink some water." Nana gave me the glass of water. I drank the water.

"I think it would do well if we take a bit of walk. This time, don't go off running." Guru Atri suggested. I nodded. He walked ahead and I followed him.

"I don't why that happened. I wouldn't let that happen again." I assured him.

"How will you stop something that is a part of you, Sonakshi? You can admit it or not but you share Kali's blood. It is meant to show up. The more you chain it, the more you serve yourself up for that uncontrollable place. To control it is to be able to channel that in the right way. You can't curb it, Sonakshi."

"You just saw what I did. I attacked him. Not even like a simple practice duel, it was full fledged attack. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't hear anything. That loud ringing was almost painful."

"You meditate, right?"

I nodded a yes.

"So, when you meditate, do you hear people around you?"

"Not when I'm deep in it."

"Exactly. You react so badly because it is you. Your own chains of that blocks makes you breakout."

"Yes, I wasn't ready to be the Desi version of Hulk."

He laughed.

"If you can't channel that anger and energy into a productive way, you will break out like this more often, Sonakshi. One, you don't trust yourself to stop. You rely on someone else to stop it. As a child, you relied on Alaknanda who is someone so close to your own heart that you can't even hurt her even in your deepest rage. Today, you relied on Daksh to stop it. People are not always going to be right next to you to stop you. It is vital to learn how to stop yourself, Sonakshi."
