The temple slowly appeared before their eyes. And it was no ordinary temple. Its walls were covered in intricate carvings, along with three circular circles, and mysterious images. Blue light emanated from the images, fading into a faint haze every few seconds. Yaduvanshi realized that this place was not only the seat of some ancient power, but also the guardian of time.
"This is the same place," Yaduvanshi said to Rishika. His voice was slow and solemn. "This temple controls reverse time, and it is here that Selina has received the blue power. Her power originated from this temple."
Rishika folded her hands and said, "I am very scared." Then Yaduvanshi said, "We know this is dangerous. Are you ready?"
Rishika nodded. "We have to get ready. There is no turning back now."
As they stepped into the temple courtyard, the atmosphere changed. The branches of the trees swayed silently, and a faint vibration could be felt from within the ground. With every step, it felt as if the ground itself was breathing with their footsteps.
Shimanu extended his hands and said, "Be careful. This temple is not just a center of power. It will test your mind. Those who fail to make the right decisions here will be trapped in reverse time forever."
Yaduvanshi took a deep breath. He felt the clock's inverted hands, the three circular circles, and Selina's blue energy—all forming a trap.
"We must first understand what reverse time wants," he said to himself.
Meanwhile, a faint echo echoed on the temple roof. The voice was slow, deep, and terrifying.
"You have tampered with time, now time will tamper with you."
Rishika came to Yaduvanshi, trembling. "This voice... is it warning us?"
"This isn't a warning, it's a test," Shimanu said. "Every step, every decision, will determine your life and the city's future in reverse time."
Yaduvanshi stretched out his hands and stepped inside the temple. The dancing shadows on the walls seemed alive. Three circular circles slowly began to emit a bright light.
As he looked into the center of the temple, a current of blue energy appeared. This current was spreading through the air and bending time around it.
"This... is Selina's power," Yaduvanshi said softly.
Rishika asked, "And how do we stop it?"
"Stopping is not the only objective," Yaduvanshi replied. "We must balance it."
Just then, the temple walls slowly began to shake. Ancient figures appeared in the mist all around—as if they were watching his movements.
The first challenge arose. The temple opened three mysterious doors before him. Each door had a different symbol and sign:
1. The First Door – The Door to the Past.
2. The Second Door – The Door to the Future.
3. The Third Door – The Door to the Present.
Yaduvanshi realized he had to choose only one door. Making the wrong choice could engulf him, and the power of reverse time could consume him.
"Which door should we choose?" Rishika whispered.
Shimanu said seriously, "It will depend on your inner understanding and courage. The right choice will be made by someone who understands both time and power."
Yaduvanshi closed his eyes. He felt the energy within him. The three circular circles, the clock's reverse hands, and Selina's blue energy—all converging—were signaling a signal.
Suddenly, the Door to the Past began to glow in a faint haze. From that door, an old image emerged—
a city where Yaduvanshi had played as a child, and at that time, the same three circular circles were imprinted on his hand.
The gate to the future slowly opened, and through it they saw Selina's power spreading throughout the city, trapping everyone in reverse time.
The gate to the present was quiet, still, and shrouded in darkness.
Yaduvanshi realized the correct path was the gate to the present, as he could further complicate time by going into the past and future.
He slowly moved toward the gate to the present. As he stepped in, the temple's energy began to swirl around them.
The winds picked up.
Strange sounds echoed through the fog.
Shadows trailed along the walls.
Rishika approached him in fear and said, "Yaduvanshi... this seems impossible."
"The impossible is only something greater than your fear," Yaduvanshi said softly.
The temple began to test him.
Suddenly, flashes of the past flashed before Yaduvanshi's eyes.
He saw all the major decisions and mistakes of his life.
A pale blue fire touched each mistake, reminding him that manipulating time is not just a matter of power, but also of responsibility.
Rishika, too, was caught in the test.
She had to confront her deepest fears and insecurities.
Her voice and steps trembled, but Yaduvanshi held her hand.
Shimanu, standing outside, said, "This test is only for your mind and heart. Walk carefully."
As Yaduvanshi reached the center of the door and saw three circular circles, they began to spin rapidly.
The blue energy formed into a huge ball, engulfing everything within the temple.
Yaduvanshi softly chanted a mantra.
"Return time... Balance the power..."
His words echoed in the air.
The blue energy slowly settled, and the temple walls fell silent.
Selina's eyes were shining. She slowly began to understand that Yaduvanshi had completed the challenge of the Temple of Reverse Time.
But then, a voice echoed from the deepest shadows of the temple:
"You have passed only the first test. The real challenge is yet to come."
Yaduvanshi looked at Rishika.
Both knew this was only the beginning.
Even more mysterious dangers awaited them in the depths of the forest.
As they stepped out of the temple, the three circular circles still emitted a faint blue glow, reminding them that time was now in their hands, but not completely in control.
Yaduvanshi said softly, "Now the real game begins. And the sooner we understand, the safer we will be."
And far away, deep within the forest, the eyes of some ancient power were shining.
This power was not limited to Selina, reverse time, and the mystery of the clock.
These powers could also affect the future of the city and humanity
