The moonlight filtered through the cracked dome, spilling silver over the dusty marble where Arjun now sat in silent meditation. His weapon — the upgraded Vajrapath — rested across his knees. The temple was quiet, but not still.
Something was watching.
Not hostile. Not invasive.
But deliberate.
He had defeated a false prophet — a man cloaked in divinity, stained in sin. He had saved the innocent and invoked judgment within holy ground.
Now, the gods had taken notice.

His body felt different. His arms heavier, not with fatigue — but with responsibility.
When he stood, the echo of his footsteps seemed to resonate not just through stone, but through the very foundation of the sanctum.
A Pulse From the Gurudwara Deity
Later, standing in front of the golden frame of the inner sanctum, Arjun felt a warmth rise from the sacred granthis' chamber. The spiritual aura of the Gurudwara, dormant after the false saint's corruption, flickered back to life.

The golden illumination spread subtly across the marble floor, and for a heartbeat, Arjun felt something ancient… eternal… place a hand on his shoulder.
He didn't bow.He stood taller.

He made the purchase.
The weapon shimmered, edges fractalizing into light, then reforming into a more fearsome silhouette — a double-handed energy baton-spear with Sanskrit symbols engraved deep into the metal.
Arjun whispered to it.
"Let's make you roar."
The night was long, but sleep never came.
Because in the east, beyond the fading skyline, a signal lit up. Not digital. Not electronic. But divine.
A cry for help — one that only he could answer.
