1. The Five Elements

In 2147 A.D., Aadvik was searching for someone to help his mother. But nobody came to offer assistance. They were living in the city, but they were in poverty. His mother was suffering from an unknown disease that was spreading worldwide. The disease had originated from an outbreak at a laboratory. It was neither pox nor influenza but was communicable through human touch. The wealthy city residents bought protective suits to guard themselves against the disease.

The city dwellers were also suffering from water scarcity, and the air was heavily polluted due to the presence of numerous factories. Oxygen masks were provided to the people, but the distribution was inadequate. Aadvik called the hospital to inform the doctors about his mother's condition. The hospital receptionist answered the call, saying, "How can I help you, sir?"

"My mother is dying. We need an ambulance," Aadvik pleaded.

"Ok, sir! We will send you an ambulance," the receptionist replied.

Aadvik's mother had fled their village and moved to the city when he was 4 years old. She was 25 years old at the time and had completed her bachelor's degree in commerce as a gold medalist at her college. However, her parents forced her to marry Aadvik's father after her graduation. Her mother-in-law spoke ill of her to Aadvik's father, which led him to physically abuse her frequently. This prompted her to flee the village with young Aadvik. After arriving in the city, she took on various odd jobs to support Aadvik and give him a better life. Aadvik graduated and started working for a company, but it shut down due to its involvement in fraudulent activities.

Now, in the present day, the ambulance arrived at their house and took his mother to the hospital. She was placed in the emergency ward. Aadvik stood outside the ward, waiting anxiously. After a few minutes, the doctor came out and informed him, "Your mother is in critical condition. We need money to treat her."

"How much will it cost?" Aadvik asked.

"Around 50 lakhs. Once you provide the payment, we will begin her treatment," the doctor explained.

"Doctor, where am I supposed to get that kind of money? My mother is dying. How could you say that?" Aadvik asked, furious.

"It's not only for your mother; it's for others too," the doctor said, as he shifted his attention to another well-off patient who was ready to receive treatment.

Aadvik begged the doctor to treat his mother, but the doctor ignored him. Aadvik thought that giving the money was better than letting his mother die. A hospital staff member approached him and said, "I can arrange the money, but you need to work with the person I mentioned." Aadvik knelt and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, sir!"

The staff member took him to the person he had mentioned earlier. "I got a guy to make your easier", the staff called him. Bruce Carlton is a prominent businessman. Whereas his son was a dr*g addict. He s*xually assaulted a poor girl with big dreams. So, he tried to cover it up.

"So, you're Aadvik? I need you to do some work. Surrender yourself to the police, and I'll help with your mother's treatment," Bruce said. "When, sir?" Aadvik asked. "Tonight," Bruce replied. "Ok, sir," Aadvik said, thanking him.

Aadvik went home and looked at a photo of his mother. He cried because he knew he might never see his mother again. He then went to the hospital and found his mother had been moved to the general ward. He couldn't bear seeing how the hospital staff were treating her. "Don't worry, Amma! The money will come tonight, so please stay with me," he said before leaving the hospital. As he was leaving, he bumped into an old man.

A bag fell from the old man's hand. The bag contained a notebook and a pen. The notebook was open when the bag fell, revealing the phrase "JAI SHRI RAM!" written many times inside. Aadvik picked up the notebook and pen and handed them back to the old man. The old man appeared to be rich but humble at the same time.

"Thank you, my son! Shri Ramachandra Prabhu will bless you," the old man said, blessing him.

"How can Shri Ramachandra Prabhu bless me? Does He know that my mom is dying? Does He know that I'm going to jail for the sins of others?" Aadvik asked angrily. "The world is unfair. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Does He know that? People are using His name in the wrong way. Does He know that?" he added.

"MY SON! SHRI RAMACHANDRA PRABHU IS COMING TO DESTROY EVIL BUT YOU NEED TO DO ME A FAVOUR. THIS FAVOUR IS BETTER THAN THE BUSINESS MAN'S FAVOUR," the old man said. "How did you know this?" Aadvik asked, astonished. "I see you every day, my son," the old man replied with a smile.

"Are you, my neighbor?" Aadvik asked.

"I'm everywhere," the old man replied, realizing something.

Aadvik thought the old man was rambling. He considered that he could get money from the old man easily without getting into any problems. "Okay, sir, I will help you. But please save my Amma from this," he said, pleading.

The old man accepted his offer immediately.

"I'll leave my things on my daughter's bed," the old man said, placing his belongings down.

They both headed to someone's house. While they were on their way, Aadvik asked the old man, "Why did you come to the hospital? Is your daughter sick?"

"Yes, she's suffering from the same disease as your mom. She's strong, so she won't die anytime soon. But I'm worried about my grandson. He might go to jail for money," the old man said, expressing his concern. "I will explain your concern to him," Aadvik responded confidently. "But you are also going to jail for the sake of money, right?" the old man asked. "Yes, sir," Aadvik said, lowering his gaze. The old man patted Aadvik on the shoulder. "Sir, you seem to be rich. How is it possible that your grandson is going to jail?" Aadvik asked.

"I am rich at heart, but not in money. The reason I am still alive is because of Shri Ramachandra Prabhu," the old man replied. A group of men approached them. "Hey, uncle! We need this guy to come with us," one of the men said.

The old man stepped forward. "He won't go with you until my work with him is done," the old man replied bravely.

"He came to us first, so he will be coming with us," the leader said.

The old man repeated his stance several times. One of the men shot him, but nothing happened to him. Aadvik was stunned.

"JAI SHRI RAM!" the old man exclaimed as he fought the men. The men couldn't defeat him because he was too strong. Aadvik was confused by what was happening. After that, all the men unexpectedly fainted from their fight with the old man. Then the old man took Aadvik to the person's house. Aadvik was still unsure of what was happening. The house was small, but it had been damaged by a fire.

"Aadvik! You need to call him using this mantra," the old man said, whispering in Aadvik's ear. Aadvik chanted the mantra three times. The house began to burn, and from the fire emerged a man.

"OH, AGNI DEV! I HAVE BROUGHT YOU THE PERSON WHO WILL SAVE BHUMI MATA FROM EVIL AND BRING SHRI RAMACHANDRA PRABHU TO EARTH TO DESTROY IT," the old man declared. Aadvik was stunned by the old man's words. 

"You will be helping Shri Ramachandra Prabhu to destroy the evil. In the meantime, I will guide him to understand what's happening," Agni Dev said.

"Jai Shri Ram!" the old man exclaimed before leaving Aadvik with Agni Dev. As the old man departed, Aadvik caught a glimpse of a tail on the old man's back. He was shocked to realize the old man was one of the supreme beings.

"He's my second brother Vayu's first son! He's losing his powers, but his son is immortal," Agni explained to Aadvik.

Aadvik realized he needed to provide money for his mother's treatment at the hospital. Agni followed him. He went back to the hospital and found his mother there. To his relief, she seemed to be doing well. Aadvik understood that it must have been the work of Bajrang Bali.

He left the ward and took a deep breath. Then Agni called him, "Come with me!" and led him to the terrace.

"WE ARE KNOWN AS THE PANCHA BHUTA (FIVE ELEMENTS)! WE FOUR WERE CREATED BY LORD BRAHMA (THE CREATOR), WHILE BHUMI (EARTH)WAS CREATED BY THE TRIMURTI (LORD BRAHMA, LORD VISHNU, AND LORD SHIVA). THEY ARE THE CREATOR, PROTECTOR, AND DESTROYER. WE HAVE HELPED MAHAVISHNU IN THREE YUGAS TO RESTORE DHARMA FOR BHUMI: SATYA YUGA, TRETA YUGA, AND DWAPARA YUGA.

NOW, THIS KALI YUGA IS WORSENING. BHUMI, OUR ELDEST, IS STRUGGLING. OUR FIRST BROTHER VARUNA (WATER) HAS LOST HIS POWERS, AND VAYU (WIND) HAS ALSO LOST HIS POWERS IN THIS YUGA. ONLY MYSELF AND AKASHA(SKY) REMAIN. IF WE LOSE OUR POWERS AS WELL, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP BHUMI. SO, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CALL MAHAVISHNU," Agni explained the situation.

"Me," Aadvik asked, stunned.

"Yes, you," Agni replied."
