Time constraint.

Shiv and Aditya were shocked to see Ira collapsed on the floor covered in her own blood. There were no external injuries but instead it seemed like she coughed up blood.

Shiv immediately ran to her as he held her on his arms. Aditya went near her to check her pulse.

The pulse was very weak. She was barely holding onto her life... Aditya's expression was horrifying. He was not sure how long she could hold on...

Seeing his expression, Shiv could easily guess what was happening to her. The air around him turned cold.

He stared at Aditya with his mystic eyes. His voice had a pitch of irritation as he questioned Aditya, "How did that mirror break?"

His bone chilling voice made even Aditya shudder. He slowly gathered himself, "The guy whom I fought earlier, he was intend on breaking that mirror rather than fighting me... I found it weird but before I could stop him he broke the mirror and escaped!"

Shiv was furious hearing that someone has intended to hurt Ira. He could not control his anger anymore.

"I will kill him!" This one sentence that escaped from his mouth was enough to make anyone shake in fear. He was completely serious on killing that guy!

His eyes were filled with hatred. His usually enchanting voice turned cold and vicious.

Aditya was not sure on how to stop him from doing anything crazy. But at the same time he was completely aware why Shiv turned like that!

Ira gasped on his arms as she pulled the hem of his cloth with her fragile fingers. She used every ounce of the remaining strength in her body to lift her hand.

Shiv held her hand as he helped her adjust herself in his arms.

*Gasp* "Shiv... don't do... anything reckless..."

She pointed the mirror in front of her, "That... mirror... *Coughs* is yours... be careful, don't break it!"

"Ira, don't struggle to speak! You are very weak right now..."

Aditya was surprised to hear what she told them.

"Lady Ira, were you really able to read that inscription?"

Ira gave him a slight nod. She was feeling very weak as she continued to gasp.

"I am not sure... how long I could... hold on... You must act fast..." She continued to cough up a lot of blood.

Ira held her chest and groaned in pain. She felt like someone was literally squeezing her heart with bare hands.

He mystic blue eyes glowed radiantly.

"I will manage the girl's safety! You guys should be fast and vigilant in finding the real mirror and break it to free ourselves from this goddamn spell!"

"You are... Seal?" Shiv asked in a confused manner.

"I am! Though, I can't feel the pain, I can't stop the body from getting hurt. I have temporarily put the girl to sleep! You guys must hurry!"

Shiv was still concerned about her. He couldn't just leave her there all alone in that condition! He carefully carried her on his back as he started walking.

"Are you stupid? Leave me here! I will only be a burden to you!"

"Stop moving! I will never leave you alone!" His eyes was determined. He had no plans on abandoning her.

Seal couldn't do anything but give up on her weak struggle. She knows just how much this man loves her. There is no way he would leave her alone in this situation!

A thought suddenly crossed Aditya's mind.

"Do you think that man purposely harmed her because he knew she could find the difference between the original mirror and the rest? Don't you find it strange as well, Shiv?"

Shiv frowned a little. Aditya's statement made sense. If those people wanted them to die here then killing Ira is their best move!

She could easily identify the difference between those mirrors.

Shiv was in a deep thought.

'If these mirrors are connected to our lives, then there has to be another mirror connecting to Aditya... Then that leaves we still have to find two more mirrors... But the question is, will Ira be able to hold on till then?'

Shiv's frown depended. He was horrified of the mere thought of leaving her alone. How could he be able to bear her loss? There was no question! He would do whatever he could to save her!

Ira coughed up a lot of blood. Seal could barely help her body to be intact!

Time was running out. They were again running around in circles. Ira's body was extremely fatigued.

"Sorry I don't think I could hold onto her body any longer! Ira will wake up in any minute..."

Shiv could feel the pressure of time constraint! He was becoming more and more agitated seeing her in such a situation!

Ira finally woke up, she gently caressed his cheeks from behind.

"Shiv... don't worry... I won't die!"

Seeing her in so much pain, uncontrollable tears fell from his eyes which were covered by a mask.

Aditya was running ahead of him, so he didn't notice Shiv's tears. But Ira could clearly see, as she placed her head on his shoulders from behind.

Ira's heart hurt to see him cry. The physical pain she was feeling at that time meant nothing compared to see the man she loves in pain.

She gathered all of her remaining strength to wrap her arms around him as tightly as she could! She wanted him to be happy.

"Shiv... I love to see your rare smiles... When we get out of here... please smile for me... okay?" Her cute voice turned hoarse. She sounded very tired.

He simply nodded his head without saying anything while Ira wiped his tears with her hand.

Shiv could feel her hand becoming so cold as ice.

Aditya screamed at Shiv.

"Shiv! Here is one mirror, here! Come take a look!"

This mirror was way too bigger than the two they saw earlier. It looked strong and sturdy. Just like those previous one's, it also has something carved on it.

But without Ira, they couldn't read those words... Ira was drifting in and out of consciousness.

Aditya made a bold decision.

"Shiv, there is no time. I will break this mirror!"
