Tara's test: The Flames of the Fire Goddess
Tara, the successor of the Fire Goddess, is caught in a test that can break even the strongest person. She is in a volcanic world where even the air is not fit for a normal human being. She has lost her coolness living in this flaming world. She is burning, and the ground beneath her has melted into lava, and only a small amount of land is left floating on it.
Her challenge: to cross a bridge made of broken rocks in this lava-hot world and reach the temple of the Goddess, who starts to move, and the only thing going on in her mind is "Endure the fire and cross the burning bridge." The bridge is constantly breaking down. Lava is erupting from every direction, and Tara's body is leaving her, every step she takes her body is burning. Causing unbearable pain, the fire that gave her strength has now become her greatest enemy.
But her ordeal is not just physical—it's mental as well. The heat distorts her vision, causing her to see visions of failure. At times, she even doubts if she's really moving forward if the bridge is limitless. The voices of failed warriors echo in her ears, taunting her that she's not worthy of becoming the Fire Goddess' successor.
Her knees wobble her vision blurs. She knows that one wrong move could send her into the burning lava. Still, she must move forward—turning back is not an option.
Tara opens her eyes and asks if she had fainted. She thinks how late it has been and realizes that she has been late in giving the test but why did she not realize that the fire which she considered her enemy is the same fire which has saved her and her friends many times, so how can it be her enemy? A voice comes from her mind that fire is not her enemy but her strength and until she does not accept it as her part, it will harm her.
She looks at the river of lava below, takes a deep breath and jumps into it.
The Kavi is also entangled in his test.
The test of the Kavi : Labyrinth of metal
The Kavi is tested in a world of iron, where metal is constantly changing around him. Huge iron mountains and deadly valleys are spread in front of him. The sacred voice orders him—
"Make your way by shaping the metal. Only he who can control his environment can move forward."
The Kavi has to bend this metal and reach the iron gate, but the task is extremely difficult. Every time he tries to control the metal, it resists—shifts, changes shape, and sometimes even mocks him. The metal follows his thought but seems extremely stubborn. His arms feel heavy, as if some invisible chain is holding them. Every time he tries, the metal springs back into place or becomes fluid and is wasted.
Suddenly, the world around him begins to change. The iron structures begin to shrink and press him. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet slips away, and he begins to fall towards the rocks below with sharp iron spikes. He somehow saves himself, but now he realizes—there are deadly traps everywhere in this world. If he cannot control the metal, this test may lead to his death.
