The Hidden Message of Time

Arahan and Vaidika had left the cave, but many questions still lingered in their minds. They had hidden the Time Mirror, but would it truly remain safe forever?

Back in Mumbai, everything seemed normal. The same old college routine, the same friends, the same hustle and bustle of the city. But something was different - Arahan could still hear the whispers of time.

Lying in his room at night, he had a dream -

The Dream: Mysterious Signs

He finds himself in a vast library, where thousands of ancient texts are kept on tall shelves. Mysterious inscriptions glow on the walls, and the Time Mirror reappears on an old wooden table!

"How is this possible?" Arahan says to himself.

Suddenly, a soft voice comes from behind, "Time cannot be stopped, Arahan. You have hidden it only for a test, but someone else is trying to find it."

Arahan turns around, but there is no one there. Then, he notices a book - its title is "The Secret of the Kalachakra".

The Message of the Dawn

Waking up in the morning, Arahan becomes restless.

"Was it just a dream or a sign?"

He decided to talk to Vaidika.

Sitting in the college canteen, he narrated the entire dream.

"If this dream was just an imagination, then why can you still hear the voices of time?" Vaidika said seriously.

"So, the Time Mirror is still active?" Arahan asked.

"Maybe, or maybe someone is trying to find it."

The Beginning of a New Search

That night, Arahan checks some suspicious activities on his laptop. He finds a post on an unknown forum -

"Does anyone know that the Time Mirror is hidden in a secret cave on the western coast of India?"

Arahan's hair stands on end. "Someone else knows about it!"

As soon as he sends a message to Vaidika, he gets a reply -

"We have to stop it, Arahan."

Digital Clues and a Hidden Enemy

Arahan's fingers were moving rapidly on the laptop keyboard. In the dark corners of the internet, he saw the post that an unknown person had put up - "Does anyone know that the Time Mirror is hidden in a secret cave on the western coast of India?"

This question was not simple. It was connected to the secret that he and Vaidika had hidden with so much effort.

Digital Tracing and the Knock of Danger

Arahan was a skilled technology analyst, who had a good understanding of coding and cyber tracing. He tried to track the location of the poster, but the user had used a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which hid the real location.

"This is no ordinary person," he said to himself.

Just then, an unknown email flashed on his laptop screen -

"What you are thinking is just the beginning. The game of the Time Mirror is not over yet."

Sweat trickled on Arahan's forehead.

"Is this just a warning, or a direct message?"

Preparing for Safety

Arahan immediately met Vaidika. She was also worried about this new threat.

"We had sealed it, then how can anyone find it?"

"Maybe someone else knew about it beforehand?" Arahan said.

They both reached the technology lab of their college and prepared a new plan -

* Dark Web Monitoring: If anyone was looking for more information related to the Time Mirror, they should know about it beforehand.

* Monitoring the Cave: They also had to see if anyone had recently made any movement towards that cave.

* Tracking the Source of the Unknown Email: They would try to find out who was sending them messages.

The First Digital Clue

Arahan started cyber tracing on the dark web. After hours of hard work, he found another post -

"The search for the Time Mirror has begun. Whoever can tell its location will get a reward of 10 million bitcoins."

"10 million bitcoins?" Vaidika was shocked. "Means, someone can do anything to get it!"

Arahan looked at the screen and said, "We have to do something quickly, otherwise this secret will fall into the wrong hands."

Return to the Cave

Without delay, they left for the same cave where they had hidden the Time Mirror. The journey from Mumbai to the western coast was long, but they did not have much time.

Reaching near the cave, the sight they saw made their ground slip under their feet -

The door of the cave was broken, and there was a faint light of a burning torch inside!

The light of the burning torch inside the cave was a sign - they were not alone!

Arahan and Vaidika started moving forward with slow steps. The shadows of the old inscriptions on the walls of the cave were moving, as if they were trying to give some warning. A light dust was floating in the air, and the sound of their footsteps was echoing all around.

Someone Hidden Inside the Cave...

Suddenly, there was a movement!

Someone was present inside the cave.

Arahan gestured to Vaidika to be careful and hid behind the wall and watched. In the innermost part of the cave, a man was typing some code on his laptop. He had wireless earbuds in his ears, and he had a digital device placed near him, which was scanning some strange kind of signal.

"This looks like a hacker," Vaidika said in a low voice.

Arahan watched carefully. There was a QR code बना हुआ on the man's jacket. He immediately scanned it with his phone -

"Dark Web Access: Time Mirror Project"

Arahan's mind started racing. "Means this man is working for a big organization!"

The Encounter and the Secret of Identity

Arahan and Vaidika slowly moved forward and tried to surround that person, but then he heard their footsteps.

"Who is there?"

Arahan realized that there was no point in hiding now.

"We are the same people you are looking for," he said.

The man slowly stood up. There was no fear in his eyes, but a mysterious confidence.

"So, you are Arahan and Vaidika..."

Arahan and Vaidika looked at each other. "How does he know about us?"

"I have been tracking you for a long time," the man said. "You tried to hide the Time Mirror, but the truth is that no one can hide time."

The Revelation of New Information

Vaidika stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? And why are you so interested in this mirror?"

The man smiled lightly.

"My name is Rivaan. I am a cyber-archaeologist. My job is to uncover ancient civilizations and their hidden secrets through technology. And the Time Mirror... it is not just a mysterious mirror, but it is one of the biggest mysteries of time and the universe."

"So you want to steal it?" Arahan asked suspiciously.

Rivaan shook his head. "No, I just want to understand it. But I think I am not the only one who is looking for it."

A New Threat: "Order of the Timekeepers"

Rivaan turned his laptop screen, on which a secret dark web chat was going on.

"We have tracked the location. Team be ready, we will start the mission in 48 hours."

Arahan's eyes widened.

"Who are these people?"

Rivaan said in a serious tone, "They are called 'Order of the Timekeepers'. It is a secret society, which believes in finding the secrets connected to time and using them for their own benefit."

Vaidika took a deep breath. "Means, we are not just trying to save this mirror, but we have to save it from those people who can use it for wrong purposes!"

The Next Step: Hiding or Using the Time Mirror Again?

Now a new question arose - should they seal the Time Mirror forever, or should they use it to understand this mystery themselves?

Rivaan suggested, "If we reactivate it, we can learn to control it, and before the Timekeepers seize it, we have to understand it completely."

Arahan and Vaidika looked at each other. This was a very big risk.

"If we make a mistake, it can slip out of our hands," Vaidika said worriedly.

"But if we do nothing, it can fall into someone else's hands," Arahan replied.
