The festival had ended on a high note, but the threat from Manora’s alliance loomed large. Shivani, Advika, and Karna gathered in the strategy room the next morning, discussing their plans to tackle the ongoing unrest.

Karna, sipping on a cup of tea, looked at Shivani. “So, any bright ideas on how to deal with Manora’s next move? I’m starting to feel like we’re playing an endless game of chess.”

Advika leaned back in her chair, flipping through a pile of documents. “We need to stay ahead of them. I’m thinking we ramp up our intelligence network and maybe even lay some traps to catch them in the act.”

Shivani nodded thoughtfully. “That sounds like a plan. But we should also prepare for the possibility that they might try something unexpected.”

Just then, the door creaked open, and a figure dressed in a flowing robe and hood entered the room. The mysterious figure moved with an air of confidence, and the room fell silent.

Shivani, raising an eyebrow, said, “And who might you be?”

The figure removed the hood, revealing a woman with an elegant presence and an aura of power. “I am Alisa Singhania. I’ve been keeping an eye on the situation and thought it was time to offer my assistance.”

Advika and Karna exchanged surprised glances. Karna’s eyes widened in recognition. “Alisa Singhania... The name sounds familiar.”

Alisa smiled warmly. “Yes, I am Shivani’s grandmother. I’ve been monitoring the events from afar and decided it was time to step in. I have some abilities that might be of use to you.”

Shivani’s eyes softened with surprise and relief. “Grandmother, it’s good to see you. We could certainly use your help.”

Alisa took a seat and began explaining her abilities. “I have the power to create and manipulate entire universes. I’ve been watching over this world and others. My intervention here is to ensure that the chaos does not escalate beyond control.”

Advika’s eyes widened. “Creating and manipulating universes? That’s... incredibly impressive. How can we make use of your powers?”

Alisa nodded. “I can offer guidance and support, and I might be able to help neutralize some of the threats you’re facing. But my involvement will be limited; I prefer not to intervene directly unless absolutely necessary.”

Karna leaned forward, intrigued. “What do you suggest as our first step?”

Alisa thought for a moment. “First, we need to gather more information about Manora’s plans. I can use my abilities to provide you with insights and predictions about their next moves. Additionally, I’ll offer protection and reinforce your security measures.”

Shivani nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Grandmother. We’ll coordinate with you and utilize your guidance to fortify our position.”

As the meeting concluded, Alisa offered to stay at the palace for a few days to get a better understanding of the situation and provide any necessary support.

Later that day, as Alisa settled into her quarters, she reflected on the state of affairs. The threat from Manora’s alliance was a serious concern, but she was confident that with her help, the tide could be turned.

Meanwhile, Shivani, Advika, and Karna continued their preparations. They worked on strengthening their defenses and analyzing any new intelligence about Manora’s activities.

In the evening, as they gathered for dinner, the atmosphere was lighter than it had been in weeks. The presence of Alisa brought a sense of reassurance, and the team took the opportunity to relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Advika looked at Alisa and grinned. “So, Grandmother, do you have any advice on how to deal with stress? We’ve been running on adrenaline for so long, I’m starting to forget what relaxation feels like.”

Alisa chuckled softly. “Ah, relaxation. It’s an art form. Sometimes, the best way to deal with stress is to take a step back and focus on what truly matters. And of course, a bit of humor never hurts.”

Karna raised his glass. “Here’s to taking a step back and enjoying the moment. We might not be able to completely relax, but we can certainly make the most of it.”

Shivani smiled. “Agreed. And with Grandmother’s help, I’m confident we’ll be able to handle whatever comes our way.”

As the evening wore on, the group shared stories and laughter, enjoying a brief respite from their challenges. The presence of Alisa provided a much-needed boost to their morale, and they felt more prepared to face the uncertainties ahead.
