Scene: Dhruv, Tanuj, and Anshika arrive at Nalanda University, captivated by its ancient beauty.Anshika: “Can you feel it? This place is alive with history. It’s like the walls themselves are holding secrets.”
Dhruv: “And maybe some of those secrets are about the Agni Sutra.”
Tanuj: “Only one way to find out. Let’s start digging.”
Anshika: “Fine, but let’s stay cautious. Places like this have… strange stories.”
Tanuj: [smiling] “What’s life without a little mystery?”
They explore, searching for connections between Nalanda and the British Museum. After a thorough sweep…
Dhruv: “We’re coming up empty. But we haven’t checked the basement.”
Anshika: [pausing] “The basement? I’ve read that experts have gone down there and never returned.”
Tanuj: [intrigued] “Really? Now we have to check it out.”
With a mixture of excitement and caution, they head toward the basement.
______Meanwhile, in the British Museum, Monika, Hitesh, and Abhishek are investigating.
Monika: [whispering] “Guys, every camera in here is aimed right at that sword display.”
Hitesh: “And look at the guards. They’re watching it like it’s made of gold. Why so much attention on one sword?”
Abhishek: “It’s almost like they’re hiding something valuable right in front of us.”
They move closer to the display, but Abhishek notices the guards’ suspicious looks.
Abhishek: “Alright, let’s back off for now. We’ve seen enough.”
Hitesh: “Why? We barely scratched the surface here.”
Abhishek: “Trust me. We need a better plan.”
Later, back at their apartment, they regroup.
Monika: “Alright, Abhishek. What did you see back there?”
Abhishek: “There’s something strange about that sword. Monika, can you hack the museum’s camera system?”
Monika: [grinning] “Consider it done.”
After a few moments, Monika pulls up the live feed from the museum cameras.
Abhishek: [pointing at the screen] “Look behind the sword display—see that? There’s a hidden compartment.”
Hitesh: “So, the sword might be the key to opening it?”
Abhishek: “That’s my guess.”

Back in Nalanda, Dhruv, Tanuj, and Anshika have reached the basement.
Anshika: “It’s pitch black down here. I can’t see a thing.”
Dhruv: “Hang on—I’ve got a flashlight.”
He turns on the light, revealing ancient symbols and text covering the walls.
Tanuj: “Look at this… it’s like an ancient map. And here, it mentions Nalanda and Gopala’s sword.”
Anshika: [reading closely] “The text says… ‘The sword is a key to unlocking the Agni Sutra.’”
Tanuj quickly snaps pictures of the inscriptions and sends them to Monika.
Dhruv: “If that sword’s in the British Museum, we might need to ‘borrow’ it.”
Tanuj: [grinning] “Looks like we’re planning a heist.”
Anshika: “Wait—are we actually doing this?”
Dhruv: “For the Agni Sutra? Yes. Whatever secrets it holds, we can’t let them stay hidden.”
