"Where am I?" Amarendra Baahubali panted as he walked back and forth on a floorless ground surrounded in a orange hued place with a melodious undefined music playing somewhere near but far.

He kept strolling in search of human existence or a gate way to transport him to another place. However, the sound of water ripples attracted him.

Amarendra found a pond on the floorless ground. A beautiful pond with a huge Kalpataru tree shadowing it. Scanning around, there were no one present but he could hear voices, precisely murmurings.

Soon a voice stronger than ever, glorious and enchanting voice called him.

"Baahu!"

"Who's there?"

"Someone who knows you better than yourself"

Amarendra looked confused, he couldn't figure out who and why was he even hearing this voice. However, he stood staring at the pond intensely hearing the murmurings of voices that belongs to his beloved wife, his dear mother and the voice of whose caused pain to his family, Bhallaladeva.

They were crying, arguing and speaking in pride, Amarendra could not withstand the noise anymore. He shut his ears preventing the noises from hearing, "Oh god, help me heal their pain" he yelled. 

Soon, that magnificent voice boomed in his ears.

"Jump!"

Baahubali jumped without a second thought into the pond. He kept swimming and lost conscious. Regaining it back at the side of a riverbank.

Snapping his eyes open, he woke up gasping for air. Later coming to sense that he had come back to his own land. The land of Mahismathi, he could recognize it by the breath of it's air and touch of it's land.

"Jai Mahismathi!!" He hailed and stood up with a familiar pain on the back of his body that followed to his front. As he walked, the pain slowly faded as he recalled the voices and the magnificent voice.

"Rewrite your destiny, my son!" Bellowed the magnificent voice and followed by another voice he knew since birth.

"Mahendra Baahubali!!" Roared the lady voice.

"Is that my son?

My son!" He beamed in happiness and remembered what had happened before he woke up at an unknown place earlier. He was killed and now he needs to get back to his loved ones.

"Bhalla needs to stop this barbaric actions!" He ran as fast as he could.

On his way up towards the kingdom, he heard the voice again. "Parameswara!!... He has to live! For his mother, he has to live!"

Baahubali wasted no time, he turned towards the voice and pulled the hand of the woman who held the baby up high.

"Mother! Wake up!" He waited till his mother regain conscious, settled them both in a safe place before rushing to the kingdom. His wife needed him the most now.

Baahubali pushed the huge courtroom door as hard as possible that it slammed back with a loudest thud as he entered confronting his shocked, stupefied brother.

"I'm back, brother! Baahubali is back!

This time mightier than ever!! Let's do face-off! Shall we?"
