Chapter 33 - Jaya's Motive 2

Being the most loved one of the clan head had its own privilege, Jaya can say to be the only one who can meet the clan head at any time, though to maintain the discipline in the clan she also had to follow all the formalities when meeting the clan head, in private she didn't have to be much formal.

Today was also a common day for her, meeting the clan head can be a golden opportunity for many family members as she was inclosed cultivation for most of her time, but Jaya didn't feel so. After walking for a few minutes she reached the clan heads room.

Seeing her a maid went inside to notify Blaire about her arrival, the maid then returned and allowed Jaya to enter. As she entered the living room she saw Blaire sitting in a pile of books with a serious look on her face, Jaya has always been fond of reading hence she has been in the clan library much time and can identify those books. But what confused her was that this book has not been used for a long time as they were filled with nothing more than myths. Many scholars have tried to research these books but they didn't find anything useful from them hence the clan slowly forgot about them.

She was also a bit interested to know why this old woman who never liked reading was wasting her time on this books.

As she walked closer she could see the book covers, they were many related to predictions, horoscopes, astrology, and some about auspicious signs and symbols.

Seeing Jaya, Baire looked up from the book.. Seeing her face scared Jaya as her face was very pale with dark circles under her eyes, the wrinkles on her face seemed to have increased her eyes didn't have the usual brightness when she met Jaya, and her forehead had precipitated sweat. Her hands holding the book were slightly shaking.

Seeing her in such conditions Jaya knew something very bad had happened as Blaire is ruling the clan for many years and has never lost her calm in many worst situations.

"What happened grandma, you don't look well, let me call a doctor for you. You should have some rest.", Jaya took the books from her and placed them aside as she asked Blaire to rest with a worried expression. In the entire clan, Blaire was the only person she loved after her parents. Hence she was so worried about Blaire seeing her conditions.

"No, I have many important things to do, but before that, I have an important task for you. Whatever I am going to tell you now should be kept between the two of us.",

Baire has found few clues from the ancient books, and she has connected the chains leading to a very bad conclusion which she knew she alone can't handle, but there was no other way than to face the impending danger.

"Yesterday I tried to make a prediction which has drained most of my strength hence I am giving you the most important responsibility. In the prediction, I saw..."

The world she saw represented the Nova planet. The black cloud engulfing it means a type of dark energy trying to consume the life and will of the planet to gain more strength. The black energy slowly engulfing the world means it has almost affected the entire world without anyone knowing and after it has enough strength it will start absorbing the life from the planet. This will be like harming the planet directly. When the planet is harmed above a certain level it will start a countermeasure which is to activate the other elements which ensure life on the planet. These elements were the different colors, they have the power of the world and can together fight against the black energy. But there was a huge chance of the planet getting irreversible harm due to this instability in the energies, this might convert the Nova planet into a barren planet.

Hearing all this explanation from Blaire, Jaya's face kept getting paler. She didn't want to believe such things but if it has even 1% truth this might be their end along with the entire world. And according to what Blaire has found the black energy has already started its actions and now they don't have any way to prevent this.

"You mean the world is gonna come to an end? isn't there any way to prevent all this?", Jaya looked at Blaire with a worried look as she also started losing her calm after knowing everything.

"I have read almost all the related books in our library but I didn't find any. But while in the prediction I have found something about which there are no mentions, it had the power to fight against everything, it can be our only way out. And I want you to personally go and find about it. I remember the place I observed but didn't have an exact location, you will have to find it yourself. I don't know what it is, it can be a thing, a place, or a person. But make sure you return before 7th March, no matter if you can find it or not."

After Blaire passed on the task to Jaya she asked her to leave in secret without anyone even from the family knowing about it, she asked her to take only her bodyguard with her for safety but not to share anything with him too. After that, she passed much continuous order among the clan elders, the entire clan started working as machinery with everyone having their own task, no one knew about anything except about their tasks. It was the same with the elder too, but they knew more than all others. The main order was to enforce the mansion walls by increasing their height and with and a new bigger wall's construction was started a distance away from the mansion wall. Inside this wall were their clan businesses and the residential of the clan's lower level members. Along with this, the underground bunker below the mansion was also reconstructed with increased security, area, and survivability. The mansion was also reinforced and all the clan members were ordered to return to the clan area urgently. Many clan businesses outside were slowly reduced or closed and all the money and resources were concentrated here. This move was big enough to attract the attention of the world, many questions were raised but there was no response from the clan.

Soon this question lost hype and the new problem of space distortion attracted the attention of the bigger powers. Though there were some suspicions as to the Cerulean clan's actions and the space distortion had a huge coincidence, but everyone was already having a shortage of hands to gather their wealth. No one had the extra time and strength to think about the Cerulean clan.

The bright dot Blaire has seen naturally represented the system and Arther.

She knew that the light dot was somewhere around the city F. Hence, finding Arther was Jaya's motive.
