Year 62, Kali yuga Present day Anāmaka dreamt of dark caverns and endless tunnels. Tiny points of light beckoned to him from afar, and he walked towards them, but they remained just that, small flickers that never got any closer. He passed immense caves, some empty and desolate, others with deep pools of lava that bubbled lazily.
I liked this glimpse into the character's thinking: " I know nothing of where we are, and where I have to go, what I need to do. And he is the only one who to knows anything at all about me. "
I can't imagine being so dependent on a single person as this, but that necessity is part of what makes the character interactions so fascinating. Anāmaka *needs* Malasāra, and it seems like the reverse might be true as well. There are so many interesting ways their relationship can develop based on this need, and not necessarily in friendly or healthy ways.
