The Eagle: Shadow of Power

kshyatriwrites
She is the shadow that walks with the sun. The death you pray never notices you. To the world, she is Chhayika Mishra—heiress, politician, enigma. To her enemies, she is Mrityu—the end. Raised in power, forged in the fires of war, and veiled in mystery, Chhayika doesn’t just survive the world of politics—she commands it. When a mission threatens to shatter the carefully constructed mask she wears, secrets unravel, alliances falter, and a little girl named Bhumi becomes her only reason to fight harder than ever. But the darkness isn’t just out there. It stirs within her blood. And it’s ravenous. “You call me Mrityu like it is a threat, but Mrityu is the only truth you’ve ever known.” In a world where soft hearts are not seen as weaknesses, both Chhayika and Bhumi carry their gentle hearts as shields, knowing that there is a difference between innocence and foolishness. They don’t break—they sharpen into weapons.

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
