Arjun sat alone in his room.
Simple. Quiet.
He closed his eyes.
Circulating energy.
The shadow within him stirred again.
Stronger than before.
The spirit appeared.
"You're attracting attention."
Arjun didn't stop.
"Good."
"I need stronger opponents."
The spirit smiled faintly.
"You'll get them."
"And soon… you'll face something you can't control."
Arjun opened his eyes.
Darkness flickered within them.
"We'll see."
