At the edge of Kurukshetra, where even birds dared not fly, stood a lone mountain ridge—silent, scorched from ancient wrath.
It was here that Parshuram waited.
Clad in tiger skin, axe gleaming with the blood-memory of a thousand kings, eyes burning with the fire of tapasya, he was the last test of every warrior—Krishna's peer, Bhishma's master, and Karna's tormentor.
He had heard of Aryan. He had watched.
And now… he demanded truth.

Aryan arrived, cloak flowing in radiant white, system halo orbiting his shoulders like a second sun. His aura alone made the earth hum in submission.
Parshuram raised his axe.
> "You rewrite fate. You hold the gods at bay. But if you cannot withstand me, you do not deserve the power you wield."
Aryan didn't flinch. "Then let the ancients watch."

Parshuram charged. The earth cracked beneath his feet. Mountains trembled. The axe of Shiva roared.
But Aryan…
Did not move.
With a calm breath, he raised a single finger.
And caught the axe mid-air.
Time around them froze.
> "I don't need to prove myself by winning, Parshuram," Aryan said, eyes glowing. "I prove myself by what I protect. What I refuse to destroy."
Parshuram's attack was dismantled—cleanly, peacefully. Not by brute force, but by divine stillness.
He looked into Aryan's soul—and saw Shiva's serenity, Vishnu's wisdom, and Brahma's will.
---
Parshuram dropped to one knee.
> "You are not a warrior. You are the one who teaches warriors why to fight."

As Aryan descended the mountain, a celestial bell rang in the sky.
From the heavens, Indra looked on with narrowed eyes.
From Dwarka, Krishna smiled and whispered to the wind:
> "Even I did not see how far this soul would go."
