There Is Only One You!

Ira went near Aditya and forced him to look her in the eye...

"Please tell me. I am sure you owe me an explanation as it involves my family." Ira"s eyes were fierce as she was fixed on getting the truth out of his mouth.

Aditya tried to not say anything unnecessary to them if possible. But given the situation, he could not hide the true to them any longer.

Aditya nodded his head in agreement with Ira"s words.

"I will tell you everything once we safely get out of this place. Trust me this once!"

Ira if possible, wanted to learn the truth immediately. But she was sure that she would not be able to force the words out of his mouth.

"Okay. It"s a promise then!"

Shiv didn"t pay attention to those two as he was a little concerned with what that man had said before.

The man, before he went, ordered someone to take care of them, but Shiv couldn"t feel anybody"s presence in that room except for those three.

He was on guard and was ready to pitch in to the battle mode. Aditya noticed Shiv"s unusual gesture.

"Shiv, if I am correct, the guy who will keep us busy will be the one that was raised by that d.a.m.n snake."

"You have been calling him that for a while now and he is even glad to hear it.. But why?"

"Shiv, you might find it hard to understand, my relationship with him. But remember this, do not trust anything he says to you. During our times, he was named as a Snake due to his deceitfulness and underhanded techniques. As far as I could see, he still haven"t let go of his slyness and continues to gain pleasure by hurting the innocent."

"During our times." Those words from Aditya made both Ira and Shiv a little confused. But they held it in and controlled themselves from asking any further questions.

.....

"Are we there yet? I am getting a little tired." Ira whined like a little kid. They have been walking in that huge castle for a long while.

"I can"t find anything suspicious. But we have been walking for an hour... Isn"t it about time something shows up?" Aditya was confused with the situation as it felt like they were lost.

Shiv nodded in agreement with him. He continued to be on guard.

"I think, we fell for a spell the moment that man walked away..." Ira unconsciously blurted out those words and covered her mouth with confusion.

Shiv and Aditya were a little surprised with what she said. But it did make sense to them.

"How do you know that?" Shiv wanted to know how she was able to tell that.

"I think Seal is sharing her knowledge with her the moment she loosened the grip on her powers." Somehow Aditya"s statement was agreeable for Ira, she indeed asked Seal to release some of her powers. But without proper knowledge on how to use them Ira would be like a five year old kid with a lot of money in his possession. It would just be useless.

"Then what kind of spell do you think we fell for?" Shiv frowned as he kept looking around the whole place.

"Mirror World... We are also probably in the same place as before we started..."

"Then are you saying we have been going around in circles for an hour now? This is bad... There is a saying that if a person falls for the spell of the Mirror World, they have a very low chance to survive...."

Hearing Aditya"s statement, Shiv pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows and took a deep sigh and asked him, "Are you saying we cannot escape from this spell?"

"I am not sure..." Aditya"s face lost it colours as he grew pale from disbelief.

Ira interrupted them as she noticed the atmosphere turning sour.

"Well... Its not like there is no way out.... Its just that, it is hard to do so."

Both Shiv and Aditya tuned and faced Ira with excitement written across their faces.

"There is a way? You should have told us sooner. Now tell us, what is it that we have to do?" Aditya became his usual chatty self the moment he hear the good news from her mouth.

"We have to find a particular mirror that has been used for casting this spell. If we break that mirror then we will be freed from the spell. But..."

Ira"s voice turned serious as she continued to tell them the way to break the spell.

"If the mirror we broke is not the one used to caste the spell, then one of us will either get severely injured or end up being dead for good..."

Both Shiv and Aditya stiffened by her words and were worried something hideous was bound to happen.

Aditya cleared his throat, "Then, is there any way for us to identify the correct mirror from the rest?"

"That, even I don"t know... There were no records on that as the people who were caught in this spell never made it back alive...." Ira rubbed her temple and sighed in disbelief.

Shiv went ahead and patted her head with his warm hand.

"It is better knowing, there is a way to escape rather than being a mouse that is caught in the trap! So don"t worry. We will definitely make it out of here."

"Oh my! Even in this situation you love birds never forget to flirt! I am so wounded seeing this public display of affection! At this rate my eyes will rot and fall from their sockets." Aditya continued to whine while his eyes were filled with fake tears.

Ira on the other hand blushed harder with his statement.

"Who is flirting here? I just explained about the spell!!"

Shiv on the other hand was completely not bothered by the third wheel called Aditya.

"I wish I could flirt with her openly without your interruption in the future."

Ira gently punched him on his shoulders. She whined to Shiv with her face completely red.

"Stop it! You have become so shameless. I wounder if you even remember the situation we are in right now."

Shiv looked at the pouting girl and grinned from ear to ear.
