All Eyes of Pahal gam

Unveiling Secrets Through the Eyes of the Forgotten

By FarhanPublished 9 months ago 4 min read

In the ancient land of Pahal Gam, there existed a mystery so profound that it baffled scholars, explorers, and adventurers alike. Nestled deep within the heart of a dense jungle, beyond treacherous rivers and impenetrable mountains, lay the Temple of Eyes—a forgotten structure where all who dared to enter were said to be met by the gaze of the ancient guardians, their eyes glowing with an unearthly light. The legend had been passed down for generations, but few believed it. The story, however, was not one of myth alone—it was one of power, prophecy, and a dark truth long buried in the sands of time.

The temple, lost to all but the most daring of wanderers, was said to have been built by an ancient civilization that had vanished without a trace. Its people, known as the Na’har, were thought to have been gifted with great wisdom and sight. Some claimed that the Na’har could peer into the future, others believed they could see into the very soul of a person. It was said that their most sacred artifact was the "All-Seeing Eyes"—a pair of large, stone-carved eyes that hung above the temple's main altar. These eyes were not mere carvings; they were imbued with an ancient power, capable of revealing not just truths but entire destinies.

The first to discover the location of the Temple of Eyes was an ambitious young scholar named Idris. He had spent years combing through ancient manuscripts, deciphering cryptic symbols, and piecing together the puzzle of Pahal Gam’s hidden temple. Despite the warnings from his peers, Idris was determined to find the eyes and uncover their secrets. He believed that unlocking their power would bring him not only fame but an understanding of the universe itself.

Idris’s journey was long and fraught with peril. Days turned to weeks as he trekked through the jungle, battling the heat, the wild animals, and the dangerous terrain. He relied on little more than his maps and a compass, trusting only in his knowledge and the hope that the stories were true. As he ventured deeper, the world around him grew still, as though the jungle itself had been silenced by the weight of the temple’s mystery.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Idris arrived at the temple’s entrance. The structure was majestic, though weathered by time. Massive stone pillars lined the entrance, each etched with intricate symbols that seemed to come alive under the fading light of the setting sun. The air was thick with an unsettling stillness, and Idris could feel a strange energy coursing through the stone beneath his feet.

He stepped inside, the sound of his footsteps echoing in the hollow chamber. The air was cool, damp, and the faint scent of incense lingered in the corners. The walls were adorned with carvings of eyes—some closed, others wide open. It was as though the temple itself was watching him.

At the far end of the chamber stood the altar. It was simple, made of worn stone, but upon it rested the object of Idris’s obsession: the All-Seeing Eyes. They were enormous, larger than any human eyes, and were carved with such precision that they seemed to breathe life into the room. Their pupils, hollow and deep, glowed with a faint golden light, as if beckoning him closer.

Idris approached cautiously, his heart pounding in his chest. As he drew nearer, he felt a sudden compulsion to look into the eyes. They were more than just stone; they seemed to draw him in, to pull at his very soul. It was as if they were alive, observing him, studying him with a depth that was beyond comprehension.

Without thinking, he gazed into the eyes. The world around him seemed to blur, and for a moment, he was no longer in the temple. He was standing on a vast plain, the sky dark with storm clouds. Shadows moved across the land, and a cold wind swept through the air. The vision shifted, showing him glimpses of people—souls bound by the chains of their own fate, struggling against the forces that controlled their lives. Some were joyful, others anguished, but all seemed trapped in the web of destiny.

Then, as quickly as it had begun, the vision faded, and Idris was back in the temple, breathing heavily, his mind racing. He staggered back from the altar, his heart still pounding in his chest. The eyes... they had shown him something he couldn’t comprehend. He had seen the lives of countless people—past, present, and future—woven together by the threads of fate. The weight of that knowledge threatened to overwhelm him.

But there was more.

The eyes, as though recognizing his shock, began to glow brighter. The golden light intensified until it filled the entire chamber, blinding Idris. For a brief moment, he felt a surge of power—unimaginable and boundless—as if he could see the future unfolding before him, as though he could shape it with his own hands. The ancient power of the Na’har, the ability to peer into the soul and alter the course of history, was within his grasp.

But then the vision twisted. The eyes grew cold, distant. The future was no longer clear, and darkness began to creep into the corners of his vision. The power was no blessing—it was a curse. He realized that the Na’har had not simply seen the future—they had been consumed by it. The price of knowledge was steep, and the eyes that had granted them insight had also driven them to madness and destruction.

Idris staggered back, finally tearing his gaze away from the eyes. His mind was racing, filled with the horrifying realization that he had seen too much. The All-Seeing Eyes were not a gift, but a warning—a warning that the pursuit of ultimate knowledge came with a terrible cost.

As he fled the temple, the jungle around him seemed to close in, as though the earth itself was trying to reclaim him. He had found the secret of Pahal Gam, but it was a secret that no man was meant to know.

The eyes, ever watchful, had seen him. And now, they would follow him, forever.
