Chapter 7 - The Second Flame

⚡ Episode 7

Page 1 – Night Scene

The campfire crackles. Karan sharpens his spear, Manish dozes off, while Ananya sketches something on the dirt with a stick — simple symbols of fire, water, and food.

Ananya:

"If we keep moving without direction, we'll starve. We need a base… a safe place to call home."

Karan (nods):

"Yeah. A tribe. Our tribe."

---

Page 2 – Sudden Rustling

The forest goes silent. Heavy footsteps approach. Karan grips his spear, Manish wakes in panic, Ananya freezes.

Voice (deep, confident):

"So… you're the ones who killed the tiger."

---

Page 3 – Ranveer's Entrance

A tall, muscular boy (19) emerges from the shadows. Bare chest scarred, holding a giant club made of bone and stone. His eyes burn with wild intensity.

Ranveer (grinning):

"Not bad… for children."

---

Page 4 – First Clash of Wills

Karan steps forward, spear raised. Sparks of tension. Manish gulps nervously. Ananya watches carefully.

Karan (firm):

"Who are you?"

Ranveer (smirking):

"Ranveer. And unlike you… I don't hide behind tricks or plants. Strength is the only truth in this world."

---

Page 5 – Quick Demonstration

Without warning, Ranveer smashes a nearby tree trunk with his club. The wood cracks, collapsing instantly. Manish stumbles back in fear.

Ranveer:

"See? One swing. That's survival. No need for fire, no need for smoke."

---

Page 6 – Tension Between Ideals

Karan glares, gripping his spear tighter. Ananya steps between them calmly.

Ananya (serious):

"Strength without wisdom is just destruction. We need to build, not just break."

Ranveer (grins wider):

"Build? The weak don't deserve to build. They follow the strong… or they die."

Page 7 – Cliffhanger

Close-up of Karan and Ranveer staring each other down — two flames, colliding in spirit. Ananya and Manish caught in the middle.

📢 Narration (bottom text):

"When strength meets fire… and wisdom struggles to hold balance, a new path of survival begins."
