That night, everything she ever held dear vanished without a trace. That night, all that she ever hoped to accomplish, everything that she aspired for were blown to smithereens. That night, each and every aspect of her life transformed without any prior warning as if both the heaven and hell had fired darts of misfortune at those dreams she beheld in her eyes. By the time dawn set in, instead of welcoming an enlighteningly beautiful sunrise she had to come face to face with her worst nightmare ever. Everything that she had once known had changed forever, and only for the worse. "Everything had changed, and she knew she'd have to change too." Notwithstanding the fact that she lost her entire family in that terrible fire that night, she knew she had to find a way to get back to who she used to be. Not a single soul was spared in that wretched fire: Her Mom, Her dad, Her sister, Not even her fiance could make it out alive. Those swirling flames broke out in the middle of nowhere as if a dark wizard had conjured up those inhuman flames to devour all and spare none; Burned the throbbing party bungalow right down to ashes till not a single corpse was in a state of recovery. Till this date, she wonders why she was the only one to be saved. There were numerous instances when she could have been scorched bright red and shrunk black as if burnt charcoal; like that time when she was trapped in that closet with the fire spreading all through her room or when the burning pillar fell right on top of her or when the roof caved in with a deafening roar. Yet she escaped unscathed as if a powerful charm was set in place as an evasive gesture against all evil in order to keep her protected. Now known as the sole survivor of the Rakshan Tragedy, she is much revered by the general masses. Although the reason for the occurrence of those events that night are still shrouded in mystery despite the probing investigations conducted by the eminent military professionals appointed at Raikarn prefecture; one fact is ascertained, some divine force was at work that unfateful night, An unforeseen saviour that protected Rakshika from amidst all destruction and stayed by her post demolition of her birth grounds that ultimately became a mausoleum for her family and relatives. Merely 20 years old then , she lost everything she held dear. Now, 5 years have passed since that nightmarish night yet, every consecutive night she relives the pain filled memories, hears the cries of her now-dead relatives, envisions their charred dead bodies unidentifiable to the core. 5 years have passed yet the trauma, the deep gash left on her heart, mind and soul has yet to be healed. They say healing takes time but for her keeping those wounds agape has become a matter of priority. She has no idea about what went on that night, yet the slight inklings of minute suspicion that has cumulated over the past few years leaves no space for any more doubts. It was not a mere accident, rather a cold blooded mass murder that erased her dynasty. And she, the only surviving heir to the Rakshan bloodline charged with the dauntless task of protecting that which her family has been protecting for centuries, an heirloom like no other. Although she doesn't know the significance yet, she doesn't even know what it itself is yet, she figured out long back that the reason they were given such a merciless ending was because they were still adamant and particular about protecting this tradition. Now all that she is left to do is strengthen herself so as not to let all their efforts perish in vain. A new resolve has built nourishing her bones with renewed vigour all through these lonely years to either unravel the secrets lodged deep within the origins of her roots or to demystify the happenings that led to the demise of her loving peers and family, yet to not let those perpetrators tarnish her newly acquired life gained at the sacrificial altar of her loving parents. An enthusiastic resolution that may unleash an adventure never heard off, triggering a chain of events that may or may not contradict the history in itself , bringing either an everlasting peace or leading a route to treacherous despair. Again, only time will determine how her destiny turns out to be.....
