Greater Himalayas…Crystal Mountain Range…
Far beyond the towering peaks of the Crystal Mountain Range, amidst the cold, unforgiving terrain, lay a peculiar mountain unlike any other.
Unlike its majestic snow-capped neighbors, this one was bare—no leaves, no greenery, just jagged rock and ice. Yet atop this seemingly lifeless mountain, stood a modest hut, built from ancient wood, its structure simple yet sturdy. A stone well nearby bubbled with steaming hot spring water, a rare miracle in the cold expanse.
Inside this secluded hut lived the old matriarch of the Das family—Mayuri Das. Once the most powerful woman in the clan, she had exiled herself to this desolate peak after the death of her eldest son, Vikram Das's father.
She chose solitude, refusing the luxury of her sprawling family estate, rejecting the service of countless attendants. For years, she lived alone, sustained only by the mountains and the ceaseless flame of her will.
