"Dwija"
*Led by the Devi, the Durapasya, humans who fight alongside the gods, waged war against the dread lord Bala. This battle culminated in a hand-to-hand between Bala and Devi, resulting in Bala being blinded, captured, and imprisoned in Jwala - the infernal prison deep within the Earth's core. The key to the prison was entrusted by Bodha, the supreme lord of creation, to a creature of fire and stone called the Gatekeeper. As his sarcophagus was sealed, Bala swore he would return, that no prison could ever hold him! In the present day a man claiming to be the dread lord has contacted the apsara assassin, Kratha, seeking her services for a very special job that could doom all of humanity. *Source: Devi #2
