They arrive several light-years into the future, only to witness that the Earth which was once overjoyed in abundance, magic, and mystique- a place of primitive solace, is now lifeless, unforgiving, and a vast landscape of brutal nothingness. Aditya and Chandni are overwhelmed with a tense grim on their faces as they witness the devastating downfall of their lovechild, the Earth.

Absolutely perplexed to witness their lovechild and its fate.

Perceiving the shift in time as they traveled light-years into the future.

She looked the destined fate of her dear child in the eye, fleeting away into the realm of despair and devastation, slowly and steadily slipping off her grips as she stood there, helpless and mum.

Isolated in the rumble of this unforgiving, vastitude realm.

Navigating the strangeness of this new reality, hand in hand.

CHANDNI'S LOOK

Chandni - the humanoid version of Moon in India, is seen wearing a retro-futuristic attire constructed out of pleats and drapes that move along her body right from the top, and up to the bottom, creating a balloon-like futuristic silhouette at the bottom, keeping in touch with Indian roots. The metallic flat blouse with a one-sided pleated sleeve, is accessorized with a silver chain. Chandni wears two handcuffs and a Mang-tika, a brooch as accessories. As she’s married to Aditya, she’s seen donning Aalta on her hands with a metallic, futuristic touch to it. Space buns with braids in the middle that go down her shoulders, complete this celestial heaven of a look!

ADITYA'S LOOK

Aditya the Sun in human form, is seen donning a majestically ancient-looking spread of Saree that's draped along the pants and the torso as a neck accessory. The black vest is cinched at his waist by a black corset. Aditya has Golden elements and accessorizing all over his attire, like gold-dipped hands, Golden chains, gold-dripping ears, earrings, hand-cuffs, and chains. This is the Sun God's perception of his human embodiment's fashion.
