The boy return to the hospital and fell asleep that night, the soft hum of rain outside lulling him. Yet, in the silence of his dreams, a strange presence appeared; a figure cloaked in shadows, yet emanating infinite power. His eyes were like molten silver, deep and unfathomable.
"You.. are unusual", the figure hidden in clouds said in a voice that rumbled like distant thunder
Arjun in dream was not scared somehow, he had understood this being was not human.
"I have observed your actions, your thoughts, your spirit", the figure continued. "Even in such condition, you have remained pure, selfless, and strong very few mortals reach such clarity and in this Kali Yuga where mortal kill mortal for slight mistake you remain untouched by such impurity"
"I... I don't understand", Arjun murmured
"Call me shiva" the figure said
"I.... don't.... dare" said arjun scared thought if this was truly lord shiva he didn't dare to call him by his name
" don't be afraid my child" shiva said in a soft and gentle voice while also slowly reveling his indescribable and flawless form
" i come before you because of your virtues and i am impressed by it so i will be granting you three wishes. you must choose carefully, for your choices will reshape not only your life but also the fate of many worlds"
Arjun heart was racing. three wishes... could he ask for health? his parents? or even immortality?
" Think carefully, young one. A mortal's wish can ripple across the cosmos"
