The Final Test of Time

The invisible world of time was unfolding before Arhaan and Vaidika in its new form. The layers of time were colliding with each other, and scenes from the past, present, and future were revolving around them simultaneously. But the real challenge was how would they save themselves from the web of these layers?

"We have to understand this place," Arhaan said, with a new determination in his eyes.

Vaidika looked at the Time Mirror. Its surface was now different from before—a mysterious script was emerging in it, which was perhaps the key to unlocking the deepest secrets of time.

"What is this?" Vaidika said softly.

The Time Mirror once again replied in the voice of its soul, "This is the ultimate truth of time. Whoever understands it will be able to control the game of time. But remember, this is not an easy path."

Secrets Entangled in the Layers of Time

Suddenly, waves of time began to rise around Arhaan and Vaidika. They could see that they were now trapped between the three major parts of time—

* The Past Layer – Where they saw how civilizations were born and then moved towards destruction.

* The Present Layer – Where their own lives and the consequences of this journey were in front of them.

* The Future Layer – Where there was an unknown world, but its every step depended on their present and past.

"If we connect these layers in the correct order, then perhaps we can get out of this web of time," Arhaan said.

But the problem was that a different energy was associated with each layer.

The Three Doors of Time

Just then, three different doors began to emerge on the surface of the Time Mirror.

* The First Door (The Door of the Past) – If they pass through this door, they will return to the oldest eras of time.

* The Second Door (The Door of the Present) – This could take them back to their real world, but they could lose everything they had learned.

* The Third Door (The Door of the Future) – This was the most unknown. Whatever was here could be completely new and impossible.

"Which one should we choose?" Vaidika asked Arhaan.

Arhaan thought for a while. "If we go into the past, perhaps we can find out the secret of the birth of the Time Mirror. If we return to the present, we will lose everything. And if we go into the future, we will get a new world, but its rules will be unknown."

Vaidika took a deep breath. "If we have to fully understand this mystery, then we have to start from the past. That's where it all started!"

Arhaan nodded in agreement. "Okay, we will go into the past."

Journey to the Past

As soon as they opened the first door, a bright light pulled them inside. They had now entered the unknown past of time.

There were ancient civilizations all around—mysterious scripts carved on stones, huge temples, secret caves, and the shadows of ancient kings and emperors.

But the most surprising thing was—an old Time Mirror, which was exactly like the one they found in the cave!

"Is this the same Time Mirror that we had?" Vaidika asked in surprise.

"Maybe not," Arhaan replied. "It is possible that the history of the Time Mirror is very old, and it has been discovered again and again. We have to find out who made it and why!"

The Secret of the Creator of Time

Just then, something was written on an old wall there. Vaidika tried to read it carefully.

"The one who sees time can become the one who bends time. But whoever bends time will lose himself in time!"

"What could this mean?" Arhaan said worriedly.

"Perhaps this is the secret that Krishnavarma was also unaware of. Perhaps whoever understands the Time Mirror becomes a part of time himself," Vaidika said.

Arhaan looked at that old Time Mirror.

"So does this mean that if we fully understand this secret, we will ourselves be bound by the rules of time?"

The Next Step: The Search for the Real Secret

Now they had only two paths in front of them—

* Either they fully understand this secret and find out who made the Time Mirror and why.

* Or they leave this search here and return to their present and bury this secret forever.

But now, when they had come this far, could they back down?

Arhaan placed his hand on the surface of the Time Mirror. And as soon as he did this, something impossible happened—time itself started talking to them.

"Why have you come here, Arhaan?"

"Are you ready to understand this secret?"

And then, everything was plunged into darkness…

The Question of the Time Mirror

Arhaan and Vaidika were surrounded by darkness. There was thick smoke all around, in which countless voices of the past were echoing. Suddenly, a mysterious image emerged before them—a radiant figure, as if it were the soul of time.

"Why have you come here, Arhaan?"

There was so much power in that voice that Arhaan and Vaidika's heartbeats quickened.

"We want to understand this secret," Arhaan replied. "We want to know what the real power of the Time Mirror is and who made it?"

The figure smiled.

"It is not easy to know the rules of time, Arhaan. If you accept this truth, then you yourself will become a part of time. You will be scattered in history, as many others have been. Are you ready?"

The Truth of the Time Mirror

Vaidika asked softly, "Are you the one who made it?"

A faint glow came into the figure's eyes.

"I am time. I was in every era, I am in every era and I will be in every era. But the story of this Time Mirror started with a human—a person who dared to see time, but in return he himself became a part of time."

Arhaan and Vaidika looked at each other.

"Who was he?"

The figure said slowly, "His name was… Anirudh."

Anirudh—The First Traveler of Time

As soon as this name was spoken, a new scene emerged on the surface of the Time Mirror.

An ancient era… where a person was standing, whose eyes had the depth of knowledge. He was a scholar who had dedicated his entire life to understanding the mysteries of time.

"Anirudh found this mirror, and he tried to understand it. But as soon as he peered into it, he himself got bound by the stream of time."

Arhaan watched that scene carefully.

"So does this mean that whoever fully understands the Time Mirror gets lost in time himself?"

The figure nodded.

"Yes. Anirudh is now a part of time. He is not alive, but his existence is still hidden in the layers of time. If you continue this journey, you can also attain the same fate."

Vaidika said worriedly, "But we have to stop all this. We have to understand it and control it, so that no one else gets trapped in this web!"

The figure took a deep breath and said, "It is not possible to control time. But yes, it can be kept balanced. And this balance depends on you, Arhaan."

Three Options

Then, the figure presented three options—

* Destroy the Time Mirror – This will end this game of time forever, but it will also lose countless secrets and knowledge forever.

* Keep it with you and try to understand it – But there will be a risk that Arhaan can also become a part of time like Anirudh.

* Leave it there and go back – This was the easiest option, but it meant that they would never fully understand this secret.

Arhaan and Vaidika looked at each other.

Their Decision…

Arhaan took a deep breath and said, "We cannot destroy it. It is not just a mysterious object, but a mirror of time. We have to understand it, but we must also keep in mind that we ourselves do not get trapped in this game."

Vaidika nodded in agreement. "So we will keep it balanced. We will understand its power and use it in the right direction."

The figure looked at them carefully. Then a glimpse of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"If this is your decision, then I warn you—time is never anyone's. It will test you, it will examine you. If you are ready to take this responsibility, then you will have to go through the most difficult test."

And suddenly, a bright light spread on the surface of the Time Mirror…
