"Hey! I found one mirror here." Both Shiv and Aditya rushed to see the mirror.It was a very huge one! The way it was hung on the wall was so beautifully eye catching!
The mirror had minute writings on it. But they couldn"t guess what was written on it. The language seemed foreign to them.
"I"m not sure about this thing.... Maybe we got the wrong mirror. Let"s wait and see."
"I too agree with Aditya, we have to check further before making a move..."
Both Shiv and Aditya looked serious, while Ira was busy checking out the mirror in front of her.
"Be careful to not break it, Lady Ira."
"You guys go and check whether we have any other mirrors or not. I will stay here and keep an eye on it!"
Ira sounded a little excited irrespective of the situation they were currently faced with.
"Okay. We shall meet here exactly in an hour!" Aditya went on his way to search for the mirrors.
"Will you be all right on your own?" Shiv was a little too concerned to leave her alone in such a place. But they have got no choice but to go and find the presence of the other mirrors.
Ira nodded her head vigorously earning a soft chuckle from Shiv.
Even though he was worried about leaving her alone, he wanted to get out of that place safely as quickly as possible.
"Will you really be alright on your own? Aren"t you scared?" Shiv was greatly concerned about leaving her alone.
"Don"t worry about me. I will be fine. Go and find the mirror. Our priority now is to get out of this place alive. Be careful and don"t get hurt."
Her words gave him the strength he needed. Just simply having her by his side was enough for him to feel complete.
Shiv nodded his head and walked away without turning back. Ira suddenly felt uncomfortable seeing him leave.
She ran towards him. She didn"t notice that he had already stopped on his steps as he turned around to take a last glance at her.
Ira"s plan on giving him a cute back hug failed a big time as she ran right into his arms. She hit her nose hard on his chest as she groaned in pain.
Shiv was a little shaken from the sudden impact.
The atmosphere between then was awkward. Both Shiv and Ira were surprised. Though Ira was surprised in a different way...
"The silence is making it too awkward! Please say something!"
Ira was screaming on her mind. Shiv noticed her getting all red from embarra.s.sment. He gently caressed her cheeks softly with his big warm hand.
"Scared?" That single word from his mouth was so enchanting in her ears.
"A little..." Ira couldn"t help but say the truth. His sweet voice ringed in her ears like a melodious rhyme. She grew a huge weakness for his mesmerizing voice.
Shiv tenderly rubbed her soft white hair as he hugged her back.
"Don"t worry. I won"t take long..."
Those simple words from his mouth was enough to make her gain her confidence. She nodded lights within his arms and finally decided to part.
He turned around and took his leave. Ira couldn"t contain her feelings for him any longer. This was her first time her heart was pounding for someone. Somehow, in her eyes, he started becoming her everything.
"Okay! Now back to the business. There has to be some way to differentiate the original mirror from the other. But what is all these writings about? It seems like those two could not recognize it either..."
Ira started checking the writings embed on the mirror. She had never seen such a language in her life before.
The moment her fingers touched those words, a beam of light flashed across the room making her surprised as she went away from it.
She gathered herself and went near the mirror again. She was once again surprised that the words engraved on that mirror somehow posed to be readable now.
It felt like the words arranged themselves in a proper manner making it into a readable script.
*This mirror is linked to the life line of the man, who posses the mystic eyes of the great demon lord.*
"What the h.e.l.l does this mean? Demon lord? Who..." Ira nearly choked on her words as the first image that popped on her head was that of Shiv"s.
She immediately ran out to find and inform them that the mirror she found was not the correct one! She was also a little confused with the demon lord thing engraved on the mirror...
*Crash*
The sound of something breaking was heard loud and clear. Shiv rushed to the place the sound was coming from.
He was startled to find Aditya fighting someone and behind Aditya was a broken mirror.
The guy that he was fighting him was wearing a clothing made of silk and cover is face with a piece of blue cloth. In the midst of the fight that man shrugged his shoulders and disappeared into thin air.
Aditya was surprised to see Shiv there.
"Shiv! Are you alright?"
"That"s supposed to be my question. What happened?"
"I"m fine. I think, he is the one who had casted this spell..." Aditya stuttered when he saw the shattered mirror.
"Sh.. Shiv! The mirror is broken! Both you and me are fine... Lady Ira?"
The cold sweat was evident on their foreheads. Both Shiv and Aditya, rushed to her.
Ira was not in the place where they left her. The mirror she found was still there unharmed.
"Where did she go?" Shiv started going crazy. He wanted to find her and pull her safely back into his embrace!
A few steps away from the place they left her, Ira was found lying on the cold floor covered in her own blood.
