The Secret Of Rebirth(18+)

Chapter 12 :The Temple's Blessing

Determined to uncover more about their mysterious past and the powers they needed to unlock, Kavya and Madhav decided to visit an ancient temple reputed for its connection to the Naga legends. The temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, was nestled at the edge of the city, its spires reaching toward the sky.

As they approached the temple, the atmosphere shifted. The air was thick with incense, and the sound of distant chants echoed through the courtyard. They walked hand in hand, feeling a strange mix of anticipation and familiarity.

Upon entering the temple, they were greeted by a wise-looking pandit, his eyes reflecting centuries of knowledge and wisdom. He smiled warmly at them, a glint of recognition in his eyes.

"Welcome, my children," he said, his voice resonating with a deep, calming timbre. "You have come seeking answers, have you not?"

Kavya and Madhav exchanged a surprised glance before nodding. "Yes, Panditji. We are searching for the truth about our past and how to unlock our powers," Madhav explained.

The pandit nodded knowingly. "Come, receive the blessings of the divine." He guided them to the sanctum, where they bowed before the idols of Shiva and Parvati. The pandit chanted mantras and offered prayers, then turned to them with a serene smile.

"May you always be together, blessed by the divine," he said, placing his hands on their heads. "As it was in your past life, so it shall be in this one."

Kavya and Madhav exchanged another glance, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu. The pandit led them to a quieter part of the temple, where he sat them down and began to speak.

"I am the descendant of the pandit who served this temple in your past life," he revealed. "I know of your journey and the powers you seek to unlock. However, I cannot directly tell you how to unlock them. Destiny must unfold as it is meant to."

The pandit handed them a small, weathered scroll. "This poem contains the clues you need. Solve it, and you will find the way to unlock your powers."

Kavya unrolled the scroll, revealing an intricate poem written in ancient Sanskrit:

**"In the embrace of night, under the moon's glow,
Seek the serpent's kiss where the shadows grow.
In the heart of the forest, where the river bends,
Find the sacred stone where your journey ends.

Together in spirit, together in mind,
Unlock the secrets that time has confined.
Only when hearts beat as one in the night,
Will the path to your powers come into sight."**

The pandit watched as they read the poem, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "This is all I can give you. The rest is up to you. You must solve the riddle and follow the path it reveals. Only then can you unlock your powers and change your destiny."

Kavya and Madhav looked at the poem, feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation. They knew the journey ahead would be challenging, but they were determined to uncover the secrets of their past and embrace their destiny together.

As they left the temple, the pandit's words echoed in their minds. The poem was their key, and their bond would be their guide. The path was uncertain, but with each step, they moved closer to the truth and to unlocking the powers that had been theirs in another lifetime.

That evening, back in their lodgings, they pored over the poem, trying to decipher its meaning. The lines spoke of a journey through the night, the embrace of the moon, and a sacred stone in the forest. It was clear that they would need to embark on another quest, this time guided by the ancient words of the poem.

As the moon rose high in the sky, casting its silvery glow over the city, Kavya and Madhav felt a renewed sense of purpose. The poem was a map to their destiny, and together, they would follow its clues, unlocking the powers that had bound them across lifetimes.
