In the dimly lit chamber of the Mahakali's temple, Prince Var knelt before the sacred idol, his heart heavy with worry for his beloved Roop. The flickering candles cast a soft glow, illuminating his weary face as he poured out his soul in prayer.

"Divine Mother, please guide me to my beloved," Var whispered, his voice filled with both desperation and devotion. "Show me the path that will lead me to Roop, for he is my life and my light."

As the echoes of his plea filled the temple, a sense of calm washed over Var. He felt a divine presence embracing him, assuring him that his prayers were heard. The image of the dense forests nearby flashed in his mind, and he knew in his heart that this was where he must search.

Without wasting a moment, Var rose to his feet, a renewed determination shining in his eyes. He knew that time was of the essence, and he must venture into the wilderness to find his cherished Roop. With a resolute stride, he left the temple, ready to face any obstacle that lay ahead.

The sound of his footsteps echoed through the palace corridors as he hurriedly gathered his provisions and summoned his loyal companions. His mind focused solely on his beloved Roop, Var set off on his quest, guided by the love in his heart and the blessings of Maa Kali.

Meanwhile, Prince Roop's suspicions grew stronger, a sense of unease settled within him. Though the man before him bore a striking resemblance to his beloved Var, there was an unsettling aura that made him doubt his identity. His heart raced with fear as he questioned the intentions of this stranger.

Seeking solace and divine intervention, Roop closed his eyes and fervently prayed to his beloved Devi for guidance and protection. He called upon her divine power to shield him from any harm that may befall him in this perilous moment.

Just as the stranger man reached out to touch Roop, an electric surge crackled through the air. A blinding flash of light engulfed the room, sending the imposter staggering back in shock and pain. The forcefield of protection surrounded Roop, repelling the stranger's advances.

Wide-eyed and trembling, Roop looked down at his wrist, where a delicate thread of sacred significance glimmered. It was the same thread that Var had lovingly tied around his wrist before their marriage—a symbol of their eternal bond and a safeguard against unwanted advances.

In that moment, Roop realized the truth. This man was not his beloved Var, but an imposter who sought to harm him. With a newfound clarity, he understood that the divine thread had acted as a barrier, recognizing the purity of his love and repelling those who harbored impure intentions.

Filled with a mix of gratitude and determination, Roop took a step back, away from the imposter. His heart swelled with faith in the protection offered by his Devi and the strength of his love for Var. He knew he must find a way to escape this perilous situation and reunite with his true love.

In the respite, the Queens watched from the windows of the palace, a mix of surprise and trepidation washed over them. Their eyes widened as they witnessed Prince Var, determination etched on his face, riding his horse with purpose towards the Darkwood Forest.

A sense of fear gripped the Queens, for they knew the consequences of Prince Var discovering their involvement in Roop's disappearance. They had orchestrated this wicked plan, hoping to sow discord and despair in the kingdom, but now the tides seemed to be turning against them.

Whispers of unease filled the air as the Queens contemplated the wrath that awaited them if Prince Var uncovered the truth. They realized the depth of his love for Prince Roop and understood that he would stop at nothing to protect his beloved.

Their hearts pounded with a mixture of regret and anxiety. They knew they had underestimated Prince Var's determination and the power of true love. The consequences of their actions loomed before them, and they could only hope to evade the consequences that awaited them if Prince Var succeeded in his quest to find Roop.
