"Mrs. Zutshi, how different was Zarina Khan from you? She was a clairvoyant, that makes her a witch too, right?" "Mages have their own history, Hayden. They have categories too. Since the time of Lady Chandrika's authority over the sections of the people born with magical abilities, there had been much variety of stories about them. You do know that besides a Diamond user, she was a famous mage too, right? "Can everyone from the Clan of Maya do the magic stuff?" "Yes, and no. You asked me the difference between me and Zarina, so here it is. Zarina wasn't from our clan but from the Clan of Khanets. It's very rare for a person from a different clan to be born with magical abilities, and it is something that shouldn't be happening. It's considered a sin." "That has something to do with the country's orthodoxy, is it not?"' "No! It is based on the analysis of events that occurred in the country. Centuries ago, mages born in the different clans were banished from the families because they were the least controllable and highly troublesome to society. As if Almourah's atrocities weren't enough, these mages started a different kind of a fuss. As in, stealing, murdering, using glamour and hallucinations to swindle money from the riches. And before this section became a bigger threat, the High King of that time went against his own rules and ordered to annihilate them once and for all. Their reign of terror ended then and there." "So Zarina was believed to be such immoral witch, seeing her desire to gain more money." "Which she was," said Ira, "Mages born anywhere besides the Clan of Maya can never be ethical or honest..." "It makes me laugh," I said, "That Zarina actually predicted Nazira to be.." "I know!" Ira drawled. "What a lunatic! Believe me, if Nazira was anything as such I would have known. Only a mage can determine the true identity of another. Pruthvi Krishna should be given an award of the century for killing her!" (Cover and banners by @StraightFrom_Hell)

"Let's explore the world, man. First, we should go to the Himalayas," Ravi said as he was searching best spiritual places of India on his cell phone. "We're not going anywhere," Sid said sharply, his eyes narrowed in disbelief. "Isn't that what you want?" Ravi snapped, for him, Sid was such a killjoy. "The search for truth? That's how all yogis in the past began their journey. Off to the Himalayas for years, and boom, return like you're a God. Do you want peace or not?" Sid felt the question landed him on the horns of a dilemma. He did want to search the truth (the inner calling which he yearns to follow), but at the same time he knew it was impossible to cut off all his attachments. Hey, Mom! I'm going to the Himalayas, don't know when I will return. Life isn't this easy. A moment later, however, the reality hit him like a ball. It's true that most of the great spiritualists ended up in the Himalayas. ___________ Sid's life was ordinary like yours and mine, where you'd find no fantasy or fiction. But he was the possessor of extraordinary trait; he was looking for answers. Little did he know that we're living in a post-truth world. Some say it's an age where truth no longer matters. If you reason with people based on facts they'll explain away their beliefs by saying, "It's true to me and that's all that matters." Politicians spin the yarn of their agenda from time to time, media telecast news based on their political leanings. Social media has led us into an information war. Despite of above all harsh realities, Sid set himself off to find truth. A quest of self-discovery. How about you take this journey with Sid in which only love will reign supreme? It's just that you need to redefine the meaning of love.

"What about my sister?" he asked, "Where is she? Will I ever find her?" Doctor sat back and folded his hands before he said, "Do you really want her back?" "Is that suppose to be a trick question?" he asked frowning, "Of course I want her back." Doctor smirked and said, "Then I assign you with a job. You have to come with me to a place where, I can't tell you right now, I wish we can find your sister." Pruthvi face glowed to a thousand watts. He looked at all three of us with ecstasy and said, "Seriously, doc?! You want to come with me to bring my sister back?!" "Yes," he said, smiling, "But you need to have patience because I have still not decided anything about it yet. But if we go, there might be some consequences and you have to only remember that you want your sister back no matter what." "Sure, whatever," he said shrugging, "I just need my sister back, safe and sound." "You got yourself a deal." Is it all about Pruthvi finding his sister? Will Doctor really accompany him? How is Shashi striking back after his failure to avenge his mother? Will Hayden Mackay succeed in defeating Shashi yet again? Will good always win over evil? Cover Credits - Devesh Soni
