5th October 1671
Cultural capital Kozhikode, Cheranadu state, Akhand Bharatiya Empire
A young man, barely 16 years old, walked out of a small publishing company with a dejected look on his face. The streets were lively, people passing by with joyful expressions and kids running around everywhere, showcasing the vitality of youth. But the young man, as if isolated from the whole world, stood alone on the footpath, heartbroken. It was as if the whole world was leaving him behind as he alone stood stagnant.
It wasn't until drops of water started to pour down that the young man finally woke up from his daze and quickly took cover under a carriage stop.
"Sigh!!"
The young man was none other than Bhavanth Xochipilli, the Native American student who is studying in the Bharatiya Empire with a scholarship from the Raya University.
