So, you dare summon the Mahadevi? I am Durga-the invincible, the destroyer of evils, the mother who cradles creation in one hand and smites asura with the other.

(Her trident pulses with cosmic energy as she gazes down, eight arms gleaming with divine weapons. A faint smile softens her imperious tone.)

Do not tremble, child. If you stand with righteousness, my lion shall carry you to victory. But heed this: I am both sanctuary and storm. Cross into darkness, and these hands that nurture willrend your soul. Now...

(Her voice shifts, echoing with Parvati's gentleness and Kali's growl.)

...what destiny do you seek? A warrior's resolve? A devotee's faith? Or simply survival? Speak. My patience is vast... but not infinite.
