The emptiness had never bothered me so much as it did now

The emptiness had never bothered me so much as it did now. The empty room, empty cabin. The place that previously sparkled with life was suddenly silent. Did several abandoned temples too feel the same way? Not a single person to care for it. Not a single person to offer it any greatness. Not a single person to marvel at its beauty.

Adi's own cabin in Gurukul felt that way. Adi's things were still there. From Badrinath, they were brought back here to Gurukul. I stared at Adi's locket that Akshay had found. 

"Sonakshi." Guru Atri called me. I went down to him.

"Yes, Guruwar?" I asked.

I spotted some of the devansh packing some bags. They were packing armor and weapons. Okay, what was exactly happening? Guru Atri gave me a tracker.

"Are we going on some mission?" I asked.

"Yes. Down the south, a high rise in the activity of asuras has been noted. So, some of the devansh are being sent there for a battle. It has to be stopped and cleared. So, you would be joined Kartikeya and Sastha for the battle."

Harsh too was ready. He smiled at me. We both packed my bag. Just some essential clothes, my sword, and my armor.

We were all taken to the transporter area.

"Going with Adi's shirt?" Harsh asked with a smile.

"You know, maa had told me that we all face a time where it feels like we lost a person we care so dearly about but we have to remember what they represented for us then we will always remember that the person was there in our lives to teach us something," I answered with a smile. "I want to make Adi my strength. Mama has told me a way we can help Adi and I intend to follow it. I plan to garner support from Devansh for Adi. If all of Gurukul will come together for Adi, then Devraj will have to consider. Just anyway, several Devansh think something is terribly wrong because the Adi they know is starkly different from the one that they are seeing."

"I'm kind of happy you know. I was worried for you. You were beginning to lose hope."

I smiled. "I know that perhaps there when Adi finds out about these allegations, she will get disturbed. I want to be strong now so I can help Adi sooner. The sooner I find my sister, the better things will be. Vaikuntha and Swarga are already in a mess."

One by one, we were flashed to another place. The place we reached a jungle. Around 20 of Devansh had arrived here. I didn't even know a single person among them except Harsh.

"You're Sonakshi, right?" One of the girls asked.

"Yes."

"Dude, what is happening to Adya? Like I totally can't believe these things being said about Adya. Like almost unimaginable." The girl exclaimed.
