Inside the 'SUN'
A young man, with a strong build and bare upper body covered in blue tattoos, was looking at the 'Pink' stone floating in front of him.
"Master, is it really that item you have been searching for?" asked paul.
"Yes," said the Young man in a hose voice.
"If I had this at that time, I would have been able to make a difference," said the young man in a much more gentle voice.
Paul looked up at the boy in shock and looked at the stone as many thoughts clouded her mind. Many doubts started popping up in her mind.
"Don't think too much into it."
"Master, We have searched for this stone for many years. But, all the results were the same. And now a stone this big pops up at a remote corner of the cosmos and that too near a 'Premaive Planet.' I feel like…"
"Yes, it looks like an unknown enemy is lurking in our territory. I knew that obtaining this stone will usually be found near a place with a dense death aura, but the memory cristal you showed, made me realize something" Said the Young man as he was fiddling with the stone in his hand.
Paul suddenly thought of something and whispered "Genocide"
"Yes, I think someone is planning something big. I will be busy researching the higher realm, so call forth the 'Ministers' and prepare for a worst-case scenario" said the Young man as he slowly faded into the magma with the 'Pink Stone' in his hand.
Paul was still in a daze and thought 'I knew something was fishy, a primitive world is protected by the great filter for 100 billion years and the memory crystal only showed that the Civilians had no power that could possibly influence the 'Great Filter' and those symbiotes they act very secretive and only pray on small isolated groups. I better warn the others about this shadow.'
At the same time near the home plant of Bhram, a catfish was swimming in space around the destroyed planet.
The catfish was black and its scales reflected all the stars in space and its whiskers were red, the fish was swimming through space and the entire space around it was creating visible eddies/waves. It almost looked like the fish was swimming in the water.
The fish was swimming in almost the same path as the 'Imperial Courts' Ship.
"Ah… 'Shit' it was almost complete, and this primitive world would have provided the perfect fuel. I didn't think that this world would have a will." said a voice.
This voice was coming from near the catfish, but there was no one to be seen around it.
"Le, Just forget about it. Let's go to the other domains, I heard that this domain has not even produced a single 'Monarch' so how can it support our appetite" Said a feminine voice.
"Ah… but I did predict a bigger stone, in this domain," said Le with a depressed tone.
"Yeah write..... how big is big to you?. At home, the biggest was the size of a 'Human-Fist' and our home planet alone produced a few hundred 'Emperors' and a few 'Deities.' But this scrap domain doesn't even have a 'Monarch' and you expect a 'Genocide' of a primitive world will give a size bigger than a 'Fist,' Come on be a little practical. I heard that our 'Deities' had fought with other 'Universal entities' over a 'Cristal' bigger than a 'Human-fist' and besides we did obtain a few crystals" said the female voice with a chuckle.
"Yeah, Your right and I think we better leave this domain, before the guardians find anything suspicious about a 'Primitive World' getting destroyed by a meteor. I think we can only mask our presence from the 'Great Filter' once." Said Le with a sorrow-filled voice
"But think about it this way, the harvest is good enough for our realm breakthrough," said the female voice, followed by a pair of cheer-full laughsters echoing into space.
The black catfish slowly flew out of the 'Blue Star' solar system and disappeared into the void.
Meanwhile, in the 'Library of Kings'
Bhram was eating in the cafeteria and he overheard a Duo speaking about 'Alchemy.'
"Shit!Shit!, it almost times up. I couldn't find that book, I can't believe that the 'Imperial Court' dick heads---" a young man was interrupted by a middle-aged man.
"Shhhh!, Do you want to die!!!? We are in the imperial court's domain, if we are to speak ill of them we will be Punished on the order of 'Treason.' And it may implicate our family also" whispered the middle-aged man, as his face could be seen to have been covered in a layer of sweat.
The young man regained his wits after the middle-aged man's warning and did a quick survey of his surrounding. There were a lot of people in the café and none of them seem to have noticed his speech, and just as he was going to 'Sigh' with relief he noticed 'Bhram' staring at him.
The Young man was startled and he heard the middle-aged man say "Library Supervisor…" and he quickly followed the middle-aged man's line of sight and he saw a 'G' symbol on 'Bhrams' hand.
The young man had assumed that 'Bhram' was just a commoner or a Rich newbie. But, after recognizing the significance of the 'G' symbol he was scared out of his wits.
"I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean to implicate…" said the Young man almost breaking down into tears.
"No, need to. We will just show our seniority to him and maybe we can avoid this disaster" said the middle-aged man as he got up from his place and moved towards the place 'Bhram' was sitting.
Bhram also noticed the middle-aged man coming toward him and he thought
'Ah.. man, I think I was being rude. I shouldn't have eavesdropped on them' Bhram thought as he was about to get up and apologize to the middle-aged man.
"Ah… Manager, I am sorry to disturb your meal. But, if you don't mind can you please allow me and my colleague over there to join you for a meal" asked the middle-aged man in a very polite manner.
Bhram was startled and looked around to see if he has misunderstood something. Then he noticed that the middle-aged man was looking at him for his response.
"Ah… Sure, sure there is plenty of space" said Bhram with a bright smile.
When the young man saw the bright smile, he felt that he was looking at a cunning Scrooge looking for even a small opening to make a profit.
"Yes, thank you. Let me introduce you this is a colleague of mine named 'Sharl' and I'm 'Matt,' we work for the 'Pharma' Division at the 'Mark Family business" said the middle-aged man as he bought his hand out for a quick handshake.
"Ah... Yes, Yes. Nice to meet you. I'm 'Bhram of the Blue Sea' and I currently work in the library on the ground floor" said Bhram with a handshake.
During the courtesy exchange, the duo felt something wrong and looked at each other and thought 'A Mortal?'
