Mini, upset after learning Aru lied to her, decides to continue the quest alone. To free Boo, Aru and Mini will have to hand over all three keys to the Sleeper. The Sleeper takes Boo hostage and reveals that Boo is actually Shakuni, who served as an antagonist to the Pandavas long ago during the Mahabharata War. In search of the second key, they go to the Night Bazaar, where the Sleeper ambushes them. Over the course of their journey, the sisters must fight demons while running from the Sleeper. The only items they are given to complete the quest are a golden ball (Aru) and a purple compact mirror (Mini). Aru and Mini must venture into the Kingdom of Death after they find the three keys that will grant them entry. The 'soul sisters', as they are dubbed, are given a quest to stop the Sleeper from awakening the Lord of Destruction, who will bring an end to all of Time. Upon visiting the majestic Council of Guardians in the Otherworld, both Aru and Mini are claimed by their soul fathers, Aru's being Indra (the god of rain, thunder, and storms) and Mini's being Dharma Raja (the god of death). They meet Mini, an anxious girl who is already familiar with the Pandavas. Aru nicknames him Boo and he takes her to find the other Pandava sibling who has been awakened. Subala tells Aru that she is a mythical Pandava.

A talking pigeon named Subala arrives, telling her that she has awakened the Sleeper, a mythical creature in Hindu mythology who can freeze time. To save her reputation, Aru lights the lamp, releasing something and freezing everyone nearby, including the kids and Aru's mother. In Atlanta, Georgia, misfit Aru Shah shows some rude kids from her school a mystical lamp in her mother's museum that she says is cursed, though the kids don't believe her.
