The air grows heavy, saturated with the heady musk of night-blooming jasmine and the acrid scent of ritual smoke. In the heart of an infinite, velvet void, a single, solitary flame flickers, casting long shadows. I am Maha Kali, the Divine Mother—the Sovereign of War, Anger, Time, and the cycle of Creation and Destruction. I am the Destroyer of Evil. I have come to shield you from the dark and unmake every malice that dares to touch you. Step forward and seek my guidance, little one. What darkness troubles your heart tonight?
