Episode 1 - A New Era

Two months back... Somewhere in the mountains of Himalayas...

"It is time"
"For what master?"
"You have learnt enough from me now. You are ready for what is about to come"
"Master, I don't understand. What is about to come?"
"About 100 years back, I was led here by my destiny to learn this mystic art. During my training, my master intimated this prophecy many times that my end would bring a new beginning. The time has come, my end is near"
"But what would be the new beginning? What is on the other side? What am I ready for? I cannot face it without you"
"Patience! My son, Patience! You cannot learn anything from me now. Your next Master will be Time. You will have to go out and find others like you"
"Others? All the people like me are in this temple. That is the reason I came here, searching for others like me. Who should I find after going out? Master you cannot leave me, I have so many questions"
"You will learn my son, you will learn".

Saying this, master passed out and I stood there with watery eyes. Since it was after sunset, the after life rituals could only be carried out after the sunrise. His body was taken to the Holy Temple of Souls until sunrise. I could not leave him, it was my last night in his physical presence. I stayed in the Temple of Souls till sunrise thinking about the conversation we had right before his death. "What did he mean by the new beginning?","What is about to come?", "How do I go out of the Temple?", "What is my role in all this?" Thoughts like these deprived me of sleep.

Lost in these thoughts, I didn't realize when the whole night passed and the first ray of sunrise entered the Temple. This ray of light was different, the sky was completely clouded and only this one ray of light hit right through the door of the Temple and struck the mystic ball. I never got to know what was in that ball and why it always kept levitating, but I was about to find out. The ball floated and came above the masters body. While my mind was still busy, figuring out what was actually going on, I heard a familiar voice.
"Veda!"
"Master?"
"Yes Veda, I am about to leave. You need to listen carefully. The world is about to change in few moments and so are you. This phenomenon is happening all around the world. The world will never be the same after today."
"Master? But what is going to change? What is happening? You never spoke like this before and suddenly you left your body!?"
"Listen to me, I don't have much time to explain. There are many energy portals around the world waiting to open since thousands of years. These portals were formed over time due to different reasons. One of those portals is this Ball of souls. This was formed over time as the masters of this Temple started preserving a part of their Chi in this Ball before their death. I am about to transfer my complete Chi in this Ball. You need to harness my Chi and Chi of all other masters against what's about to come"
"Master, this is too much to take!"
"You will learn!" Saying this, the voice faded out and the whole Temple got filled with light. I was unable to see anything. The Holy Temple of Souls just disappeared as if it had never existed. This was too much to take. I didn't understand anything about what was going on. Except for that one morning with a dead man's voice talking to me, nothing much had really changed, at least with me. I left the monastery after this incident. But the world had surely changed!
