*Kali

Prologue

I
Somewhere on the rugged landscape of time, some five thousand years ago, an anomalous ripple caused a turbulent turning of the cosmic tide. The source of that ripple has since remained unknown. Seers have suspected though that a gamma ray was spat out by one of the quasars abounding the unknown edges of the universe. Some others, seemed to think that this ripple, was a deviant bit of dark matter that escaped after a time-quake caused a disturbance in one of the deep gravitational wells of the cosmos- that which we understand as a blackhole- and they termed it Kali (कली) or discord. Be that as it may, the ripple was only detected in the wake of its insidious aftermath that it began to unleash- though it must be said that it’s coming was predestined in ways the unexplainable always is.

This Kali (कली) traversed many light years through space, slowly and seemingly without detection. But finally gathering momentum as it raced its way past the Milky Way’s Halo- pausing- but for a brief moment- almost to negotiate the terms and extent of its form and intended machinations-
with an equally obscure force
on the outskirts of the heliosphere -
who then allowed it
…to slyly pierce through the Sun embrace.
