# **Chapter 58 – Ishita's Prophecy**
*(connects directly to Chapter 57 – Conspiracy in the Shadows)*
---
## **1. The Uneasy Dawn**
The Eternal Grounds awoke to tension. Disciples trained harder, but their eyes shifted often toward the horizon where banners of kingdoms and sects still lingered.
Whispers ran through the clan:
* "The Prince demands a trial…"
* "The Elder speaks of betrayal…"
* "The mercenaries sharpen blades at night…"
Even the children sensed it. They no longer played freely, but clung to their mothers.
Ratan walked the grounds in silence. Each Cosmic Step bent the air faintly, showing his mind was unsettled. He had faced beasts, storms, and hunger—but now he faced the treachery of men.
And in the shadows, his karmic vision showed threads tangled black, as if an unseen hand knotted fate itself.

## **2. Ishita's Moonlight**
That night, Ishita sat beneath the sacred moonstone pool. Her hair shimmered silver, her aura soft yet deep as endless night. She had been silent for days, but tonight, her body trembled as if struck by unseen tides.
Ratan approached, his eyes worried. "You haven't slept."
She looked up, moonlight reflected in her irises. "Because the moon hasn't let me. It whispers… and shows me things I do not wish to see."
Ratan's chest tightened. Ishita was no ordinary girl—her connection to the Ajna and Sahasrara chakras gave her glimpses of fate itself.
"What did you see?" he asked.
Her voice shook, soft but sharp as a blade in the night.

## **3. The Prophecy Unveiled**
"I saw fire," Ishita whispered. "Not the flames of Kavya's light, but black fire, consuming mountains and rivers."
She gripped Ratan's sleeve tightly. "I saw betrayal from those who smiled at our table. I saw armies marching—not beasts, but men, banners of kingdoms and sects."
Ratan's eyes narrowed.
But her voice broke as she continued. "And I saw you, Ratan. Struggling, bleeding… falling. Unless…"
Her words faltered. She pressed her forehead to his chest, tears glistening.
"Unless you ascend quickly. Unless you reach the next cosmic state before the storm breaks, the Eternal Clan will drown in its own blood."

## **4. The Clash of Hope and Fear**
Silence stretched between them. The moon rippled on the pool, as if listening.
Ratan placed a hand upon her hair. "So, fate demands I rush. But you know me, Ishita—I do not bow to fate."
She looked up, eyes blazing with desperate light. "This is not fate—it is warning. If you delay, if you hesitate, then all we built will turn to ash."
Her voice trembled but grew stronger. "I don't care if the heavens themselves must be defied. Ratan—you must ascend. Fast. Before the nations crush us."
---
## **5. The Gathering of Elders**
The next day, Ratan called Mahadev, Kavya, Sunita, and the clan's elders to the Stone of Origin. Ishita sat beside him, pale but resolute.
He spoke of her vision. Murmurs rippled.
Mahadev's jaw tightened. "Prophecies are chains, but we cannot ignore them. If disaster is coming, we must prepare."
Kavya's eyes blazed like suns. "Let them come! With fire, I'll burn their banners to ash!"
Sunita's voice was soft, but her aura pulsed steady. "Fire cannot stop betrayal. Ishita sees what lies beneath—the storm will not wait for us to be ready."
The elders bowed. "Then we must guard our young lord as he ascends. Let no enemy interrupt him."

## **6. Ratan's Decision**
That night, Ratan stood alone atop the Eternal Plateau. The stars swirled, the cosmos itself trembling faintly as though expecting his choice.
He whispered to the heavens:
"Prophecies… betrayals… conspiracies. I will not let them bind me. But if Ishita's vision is true, then I must step faster than fate itself."
His chakras flared, resonating with the sealed Astral Qiongqi within his Inner World.
The beast roared in defiance, yet bowed in submission. Its power surged through him, fusing with his cosmic resonance.
"I will ascend," Ratan vowed. "And when I do, let nations learn what it means to stand before the Eternal."
---
## **7. Foreshadowing of Disaster**
Far beyond, in hidden caverns, the masked demonic cultivator laughed.
"So, the girl has seen a glimpse. Let her prophecy ring true. For every step Ratan takes upward, I will twist the shadows deeper. When nations rise against him, no power of heart or cosmos will shield his clan from despair."
He raised his hand, summoning images of banners—the Vermillion phoenix, the Verdant peak, the mercenary wolf—all blood-stained and marching.
"The Eternal Clan's miracle will become their curse."
---
## **8. The Silent Oath**
Back at the moonstone pool, Ishita knelt in prayer beneath the silver glow. She whispered, though none could hear:
"Moon above, stars beyond—if he must fight destiny, then take my life if needed. Just let him live. Let him ascend."
And though she could not see it, her aura wrapped around Ratan like unseen moonlight, strengthening his every breath.
The prophecy was set. The storm drew near.
