"How about we make a deal?" The man"s wicked smile was evident on his face. Both Shiv and Aditya were surprised to see Ira captured."I will release the 7 people that I have kidnapped. But this girl comes with us. There is someone who have been earning to see her." His sly grin was plastered on his face as he mocked Shiv and Aditya.
Shiv was very annoyed to see his woman being touched by someone else.
Noticing the terrifying look on his face, Snake held Ira intimately on his arms as he licked the nape of her neck through the blue silk cloth covering his lower half of his face.
Shiv"s vein popped looking him taking advantage of her right in front of his eyes. He finally lost his cool and charged at him with his sharp sword.
Before he reached them, Snake used the power of the third sacred stone, "Intersection".
The moment the power of that stone was released, those three were enveloped in a dim light, the next second they started to fade until they finally disappeared out of their sight.
When they came to their senses, both Aditya and Shiv found themselves near the water source, where they originally started.
Shiv clenched his fists out of anger. He punched the tree with his bare fists as he yelled out loud.
"d.a.m.n IT! I will kill them all!"
Aditya saw something shining on the ground. When he went near, his eyes widened.
"Shiv! Look at this! Lady Ira"s pendant! Luckily that guy didn"t get a hold of it..." He sighed heavily as he thanked the heavens. Without that pendant, he can"t go to the future and harm her family.
Aditya handed over that pendant to Shiv. His eyes were sharp and fierce. Shiv held the pendant near his chest, "I will find you... definitely. Don"t be scared... Ira."

"Will the master be happy? We have finally got the girl in our han..." Before that guy who was dressed in all white could finish his sentence, his throat was slit open by Snake.
"How useless! Master? I"m the master! Hahaha." His wicked laugh was echoed throughout the whole place.
He carried Ira on his shoulders like a luggage and tossed her in a dark cell. Ira hurt her head due to the impact and started to bleed.
"Kid.. you have to wait here until the news gets to that man. I will take back my pendant..." He searched for the pendant that Ira was wearing earlier. But it was no where to be found.
"Sh*t! Where did it go?" The pendant was nowhere to be found. After all the searching, he finally decided to give up.
Ira woke up shortly after he left her in that dark cell. She felt a sharp pain on her head as the blood from the wound was severe.
Since she had the ability to heal, she immediately healed herself which saved her from all the trouble.
She looked at the place she was locked at carefully. It was a very typical historical prison that she saw on the dramas.
The place was so cold as the night approached. There was nothing that she could use to help herself from escaping the cold.
Suddenly she heard the sound of the gates opening. Ira"s eyes popped out of its closet the moment she saw who it was.
She vaguely remembers the face of the man who kidnapped her previously. When she realized it was the same man as before, Ira was a little taken aback.
She was startled when he approached her.
"My Lady, I am the third general of the kingdom Surasena. My name is Amar." He politely introduced himself to her.
Ira was on her toes.
"Do you expect me to believe your gentlemanly act? I won"t fall for it."
General Amar noticed the fierce look on her eyes. He sighed a little as he approached her. Ira was surprised to see what he did the moment he came near her.
General Amar went on his knees with his head down. He totally looked like someone who was pledging his loyalty. But the thing he spoke of were different from his actions.
"I am here to take you to the king of Surasena, King Anuj. As long as you fulfill his desires, you will be given everything you wanted."
"So what if I don"t?" Ira acted a bit cheeky as she questioned him.
"Nothing will happen to you... but something terrible will befall your loved ones." Even though the man before her threatened her with the lives of her loved ones, Ira could see the sadness in his eyes. He looked like someone who was bound by a heavy burden and was forced to do the things he doesn"t want to.
Ira tried to calm herself down as she stood before him with elegance.
When General Amar, looked at her, he couldn"t take his eyes off of her. She looked like a pretty lotus bloomed in the midst of all the dirt.
Her true elegance made her a stunning beauty. Amar finally stood up as he was ready to show her the way.
"Where are we going?"
"To the palace of Surasena."
"...." Ira didn"t say anything, her mind was preoccupied by the thoughts of Shiv. She was wondering what he was doing.
She still couldn"t forget how he became when she disappeared on him last time. She prayed to the G.o.ds dearly for his safety more than her"s.
"Wait! If I go to the Palace like this... then I will never be able to see him again... What should I do?"
Ira wreaked her brains to find a suitable solution, but when she stepped out of her cell, even the tiniest hope she had within her was cruelly crushed.
There were tons of soldiers outside to escort her to the palace. There was absolutely no hope for her to escape this time....
