✨Pratap Singh Mansion — Aftermath✨
The hall was still trembling from the battle, dust drifting from cracked pillars as the family gathered—bruised, shaken, but standing. Kiara leaned slightly into Yuvaan, one hand protectively over her stomach, while the others formed a protective semicircle around them.
Yuvaan exhaled sharply.
"We managed to push Mohana back for now… but don't fool yourselves. She will return."
Varun, still rubbing his injured shoulder, frowned.
"But after what happened today? After we all stood together? I don't think she'll risk coming back so easily."
Yuvaan gave a hollow, almost pitying chuckle.
"You don't know Mohana like I do."
He looked around at every face—Kajal, Bhoomi, Chandrika, Aakash, Angad, Riddhi—his tone darkening.
"She isn't legendary because she's 'powerful.' Lots of witches were powerful."
His jaw tightened.
"She's legendary because she is persistent. She doesn't stop. She doesn't retreat. She doesn't accept defeat. If she wants something—she will crawl, bleed, burn, destroy worlds to get it."
Kiara felt a shiver run up her spine.
"Yuvaan… who exactly is she?"
Yuvaan took a slow breath, the weight of centuries sitting in his chest.
"I think," he said, stepping closer to the center of the hall, "it's time you all knew the full truth."
His expression hardened, eyes flashing with old, buried memories—of a past life he never asked for.
"I should tell you all… Mohana's history."
Everyone fell silent.
Even the flickering lamps seemed to lean in.
The family gathered closer, listening in stunned silence as Yuvaan began speaking… his voice low, heavy with centuries of buried darkness.

"Years ago… long before any of us were born… the terror of Bhandap had a name."
"Mohana."
A hush fell over the hall.
"A 250-year-old Daayan. An Ekayaan. A creature so powerful, so cunning, that even the bravest Reevavanshis whispered her name only in fear."
Kiara swallowed hard. Yuvaan continued.

⭐ The Fall of Mridul Rathod
"Mohana lived by draining life force—her beauty a weapon sharper than any sword. She trapped Mridul Rathod, a wealthy businessman, in her snare. Married him. Had two children—Ansh and Kajal.
While Mridul built wealth with her help… Mohana quietly drank away his vitality. He died before he knew what she truly was."
---
⭐ Divya Sharma's Intervention
"When Vedashree Rathod grew suspicious, she reached out to her friend—Divya Sharma, a psychic wizardess and Reevavanshi.
Divya discovered Mohana's truth… and cut off her braid, the source of her power.
Mohana fled into the woods, but Divya, Vedashree, and a mob cornered her. They burned her alive… but instead of dying, Mohana turned to stone.
Divya sealed her in a coffin with powerful mantras. And then—Divya vanished without explanation."

⭐ Ansh, Piya, and the First War
"Vedashree and Shekhar adopted Ansh and Kajal. And life went on… until Mohana revived. She targeted Ansh, her own son, determined to destroy him.
But Ansh married Piya, a Daivik—a divine being of light.
Together, they fought Mohana repeatedly. The last battle ended with Mohana trapped in a pit of fire.
They thought she died.
But Mohana never dies."
Kiara felt chills.

⭐ The Cave of Wishes & the Twins
"Mohana survived—barely. She hid for years in a cave near Bhandap. Villagers believed whoever entered the cave would have their deepest wish fulfilled.
That's when Shubham went in. He begged for wealth.
Mohana agreed… on one condition.
On their third birthday, he must give her his twin sons—Sahir and Mihir.
He brought them. Mohana stained the twins with her blood, turning them into demi-Daavansh.
But before she could make them fully hers, they were saved by a Reevavanshi, and their mother Sapna and Moti Baa."
---
⭐ The Rise of the Divine Twins
"The boys grew up with Daavansh strength. And fate brought them two divine soulmates:
Maira, destroyer of evil — Rishwa. Mihir's wife.
Tejaswini, protector of righteousness — Bishwa. Sahir's wife.
The four of them fought Mohana again and again… until finally they destroyed her body, trapped her soul, and banished it to the underworld."
Yuvaan's eyes darkened.
"But Mohana always returns."

⭐ And Now… Her True Plan
"When she escaped the underworld, she remembered everyone who defeated her:
Ansh.
Piya.
Mihir.
Maira.
Sahir.
Tejaswini."
He turned toward Kiara, his voice trembling.
"And now… she wants more power. She wants revenge. She wants to rise above every witch, every Daayan, every demon."
He looked at her stomach.
"And for that… she wants our child."
Everyone froze. Kiara held her belly protectively.
"She wants the Special Hybrid—the child of Jishwa and Daavansh blood. A child born of light and darkness… a child whose power even the gods fear."
Silence blanketed the hall.
Because now… everyone understood the danger.
