Episode 9 · Day 7

Daughter of Serpents

Five hours to moonrise and seven hours of mountain. Padmini knows a faster way: the serpent road under the mountain, past her own brothers. In the deepest caves she finds what her father kept from her: the flood that seals the gorge will drown the Naga eggs first. She has to choose. And she tells Aman the one way the Nagamani could save Nani, and what it would cost him.
