He recalled the words of his mentor, Colonel Baldev, who once said: “A true Lakshya is not a target you shoot at, but the purpose that guides your aim.” With reverence, Arjun lifted the sapphire.

Arjun lay awake, listening to the faint hum of the radio that crackled with a strange transmission: “…if you hear this, the Red River will rise again. The ancient seal is broken. Find the stone… the one that glows at dawn…” The voice was garbled, but the words “ancient seal” and “stone that glows at dawn” lingered in Arjun’s mind.

Sam pulled out his portable scanner, and the device emitted a soft blue glow. “This is it,” Sam breathed. “The eye of the ancient seal. Legend says the stone is hidden behind it, protected by a trial of fire.” A faint tremor ran through the ground. Suddenly, a burst of flame erupted from the crevices, forming a wall of fire that seemed impossible to cross. The soldiers instinctively reached for their weapons, but Arjun remembered the mantra his grandfather taught him: “Fire is not an enemy; it is a test.” Arjun’s hand hovered over the stone
