A mythological saga exploring a forgotten truth that even the gods feared to reveal.

Part 1: The Cosmic Dread

In the endless silence beyond time, where the destiny of countless universes is shaped, two eternal guardians met to discuss a danger unlike anything creation had ever faced.

Lord Shiva broke the silence.

"Kamalnayan, what solution do you propose for a crisis that threatens not just this universe, but the entire multiverse? As its guardians, we must act before time itself turns against us."

Lord Vishnu replied with unusual concern.

"Neelkanth, this is no ordinary threat. Nothing like this has ever existed—not even Brahma possesses knowledge of it."

The danger they faced was beyond every known law of existence.

"We are bound by time… but what we face is not. Even I cannot take an avatar against it. To do so would break the very laws that hold creation together."

Shiva understood the consequences.

"Even my Rudras and the Chiranjeevis would fail. To confront this enemy, they would have to defy time itself—and that would not save the multiverse. It would destroy it."

Vishnu continued.

"Once broken, balance will never return. Darkness will not merely rise—it will repeat through every Manvantara."

The enemy had done something impossible.

"It has waited… and learned. It has studied avatars, devas, danavas, and even the planets. Every being is bound by karma. But this one stands beyond it. And that is what makes it truly dangerous."

If even the creators and protectors of existence stood powerless before this unknown force, then what kind of being could exist completely outside the laws of karma?

Part 2: The Forbidden History

Time passed.

The conversation returned, but this time it carried an even heavier burden.

Shiva finally asked the question that had remained unanswered.

"Narayan… have you considered the proposal we once discussed?"

Vishnu answered without hesitation.

"Shambhu, I rejected that path once, and my answer has not changed. That proposal does not solve the problem. It risks creating something far worse."

Shiva remained calm.

"Vishnu… shanti. I understand your hesitation. But as the preserver of the multiverse, you must look beyond fear."

Then came the revelation.

"After all… he is not merely a solution."

"He is your son."

Shiva completed the sentence.

"Our son, Mahadev. Our first creation—even before Lord Ayyappan."

Vishnu's voice became cold.

"And that is why I cannot forgive him."

"I erased him from time itself, freed him from karma, and cast him into a void so deep that even my avatars cannot reach it. Even Brahma does not know of his existence—and he never will."

Shiva questioned him.

"Narayan, even the fallen deserve another chance. You gave Ashwatthama one. Why not him?"

Vishnu explained.

Ashwatthama had been born as a human.

He was influenced by circumstances, burdened by ambition, and trapped within the six enemies of the mind—Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, and Matsarya.

His curse was not punishment.

It was an opportunity to learn, suffer, understand, and eventually rise again as one of the Chiranjeevis.

But their forgotten son was different.

"He was never human."

"He was born from us—from our very essence. A union of our divine energies. He existed beyond weakness, beyond desire, beyond the six enemies."

Yet despite possessing perfect divine nature…

"He chose destruction."

"No hesitation. No remorse. No value for life."

"He slaughtered without reason. Even children were not spared."

Vishnu remembered every great evil that had ever threatened creation.

Ravana.

Mahishasura.

Andhaka.

Jalandhara.

Kansa.

Jarasandha.

Banasura.

Narakasura.

Hiranyaksha.

Hiranyakashipu.

Every one of them had been consumed by power.

Yet each still possessed a fragment of compassion somewhere within.

But their son…

"Our son had none."

The Mystery Remains

Vishnu claims that his forgotten son was born without empathy and became a force of destruction unlike anything the multiverse had ever witnessed.

But can a being created entirely from the pure divine essence of Vishnu and Shiva truly be born evil?

Or is there a hidden truth…

A forgotten history…

That even the gods are too afraid to reveal?
