Arya’s head spins with what he just heard: Ravana is alive? It can’t be! From the time he was a young boy, he had read stories of this demon’s defeat in the Ramayana. Yet the vanara tribe who have been threatened to near extinction and Rishiji, the wise sage he met earlier in the Wild Woods, all confirm it as the truth. For years, Ravana lay dormant but since his return, he has been seeking to destroy the Ramayana and rewrite history to prove that good never existed. The only thing keeping him from succeeding is now in Arya’s hands - the last surviving copy of the epic Ramayana.     IN THIS EPISODE:  [00:01] Previously on Shadow Realm  [01:11] Arya meets the Vanara tribe [02:40] Arya learns of Baalchorni, an evil demon who has been after the vanara tribes [05:21] The vanaras invite Arya to join them for dinner  [08:10] Arya tries to understand the very real threat of Ravana  [12:30] Arya is asked to help the vanara fight against Ravana  [13:44] How to support and connect with The Arya Chronicles  [14:02] Next episode teaser    SYNOPSIS:  Arya meets the friendly yet valiant vanar tribe, the only race capable of forming Hanumana’s army  The vanaras tell Arya about Baalchorni, an evil demon in the Wild Woods who preys on young vanaras Arya is shocked to learn that Ravana is not dead Rishiji, the wise sage of the Wild Woods, explains Ravana’s evil plan to take control over all the lands and how Arya’s epic Ramayana is the only remaining copy  Rishiji and the vanaras ask for Arya’s help to fight Ravana and save the creatures of the Wild Woods In the next episode: Arya searches for a weapon and tries to understand Ma’s wishes    Links Mentioned: thearyachronicles.com   CREDITS: Shadow Realm was written and executive produced by Reenita Hora.
