Manihara easily caught up with Apoorva who ran from him. Now he had his mani, it was easy for him to find her.

Suddenly a lady appeared before them. Apoorva and Manihara were startled to see a newcomer. Taking advantage of their shock, she took Apoorva’s hand and teleported.

Manihara jumped to catch her, his hand missed by inches and she was gone.

The lady along with Apoorva appeared at an unknown place. As soon as they touched the ground, Apoorva collapsed on her knees and cried out loud. The lady looked around for danger and to see where they teleported.

“Who are you?” asked Apporva, after controlling herself. Sachidevi changed her appearance before appearing in front of Apoorva, so that no one can identify her.

“I’m Indrani, no time for my details, just try to be safe and go away from here, save your child” she said.

“Thank you for saving me” said Apoorva. “But why are you helping me?” Before Sachi devi can reply, Manihara appeared before them with a big laugh.

He threw a spear at her. Sachidevi appeared infront of her and blasted the spear to pieces. Manihara was not able to detect her real form.

Sachi devi attacked Manihara without a  word. Both of them attacked each other with magic and flying swords, spears and energy beams. As the fight progressed Manihara started to gain upper hand in the fight.

“Go, run” shouted Sachi devi. “I will try to stop this demon” she assured.

Manihara laughed at her comment and said “now I am at my full power, no one can stop me now, not even Indra” he shouted. He looked at both the women with fury and arrogance in his eyes. Apoorva slowly stepped back. Manihara’s eyes fell on her retreating form; suddenly he saw her hands on her stomach, like they are protecting something.

Manihara saw that and he started to piece together all the situations. He was shocked as the truth dawned on him, now everything made sense. “Oh my! She’s going to be a mother.”

“Oh Indra, What did you do?” He understood why Indra wanted Apoorva out of the picture. He felt like lightning struck him “Mahendra you cannot..... You really did something huge and bad” he thought.

Again taking advantage of his shocked state, she dropped a cage around Manihara from thin air. He easily broke it with a single punch.

Sachi devi quickly realized the outcome and taking the hand of Apoorva teleported again. Manihara followed them through their energy.

As soon as he appeared Sachi devi attacked, which hit him. However the mani activated automatically creating a shield infront of him, but he still coughed up some blood due to her power.

Manihara was frustrated as truth dawned on him, but the lady who came to save Aproova frustrated him more. If the lady did not try to overpower him, he would have time to think. Because of her attacks his ego is not letting him leave the place, he became more aggressive as he tried to dominate her. He summoned a black thunder and attacked sachidevi.

The thunder hit her. Sachidevi quickly turned and shouted Apoorva to run. Apoorva started running again. She tried to go to her home, but she was unable to use her energy, she felt like mortal. All her power was gone, which was a bit odd. She quickly ran, her only thought was about her unborn child.

As the black thunder spread through her body, Sachi devi disappeared from there. Manihara then followed Apoorva.

Apoorva ran clutching her stomach, she knew she cannot fight him; the only way was to escape from here and hide somewhere.

The place they teleported looked like still in Himalayas. The place was snowy at some places, greenery at some other. Some places where greenery was present the trees and plants were shining.

Apoorva did not see any of this, her only thought how to escape the demon. Manihara chased her very slowly, thinking and trying to play a little with her before he can get a solution.

They unknowingly passed through an invisible barrier.
