Haz's day started like any other day. He woke up at 6, did some yoga and handstands. He stopped Jess from kicking Lochi out of the bed and followed through all other routine diligently. Then Lecturer P'kon asked them all to present themselves in the Aradhana Pavillion and that's where things started to take weird turn.
" Three of our mediators are requested in the mundane world- "
As soon as those words left Lecturer P'kon's mouth the whispering started. Mediators mostly dealt with angel and demon world. The mundane world was something the Gods took care of . As Deigo didn't need offering or worshiping like Gods to exist, they left the mundane woes for the Gods.
" What do you think is the matter?" Lochi whisper shouted from beside him as Jess elbowed him on the ribs . " Shut up! You stupid Chicken and let us hear it!"
Before Lochi could retaliate a slight cough drew their attention.
The whispering seized .
" Hm, so as I was saying, three of our mediators along with another two different institutions' mediators will go to the mundane world. Our mediators will ofcourse take care of the medical problems but be vigilant as the other two mediators are from WAR and INTELLIGENCE Institutions. Now I will ask Hazel , Jessine and Locheco to come forward and others to do their own works."
Others cleared the Pavillion while throwing slight glances at them. Lecturer P'kon waited till the last of them cleared the Pavillion before shutting off the doors with a snap of his finger.
" The case we got , is not normal, Master Aru wanted me to send some capable people and I know you three are quite capable. Anyway, the mundane town of Firu Firu which is under the God of Merchant's one of the many underlings, it seems like there, a demonic energy is detected."
" But how can it be ? Respected Lecturer. The mundane world has barrier around it. Repelling any angelic or demonic energy. How can a Demonic Energy be detected there? "
" I know, but we have reasons to believe this barrier may have cracked a little. The last time it happened, The Unspoken One raged a war. I feared she may have been back."
"But , Respected Lecturer! Didn't The Immortal Master killed her himself! How can she be back? "
" It is still too early to say anything but Master Aru wanted me to send some of our capable disciple to check it out. If she did manage to come back , make a hasty return .Don't do anything reckless! I hope I don't have to say how dangerous she is ."
Firu Firu Town
The birds were chirping , the Autumn breeze was blowing and the children were playing under the sun . The town was a perfect picture of a cozy cat dosing away inside a warm blanket. Yet , disturbing the lazy beauty of the town a unrestrained voice rang through out it.
" Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Help ! Help ! " A woman in her 30 ran through the town while being chased by 5 young boys no more than 17.
Suddenly, a child came before Arissa and she stumbled to a stop. Though she managed to balance herself at the nick of time , the boys who were chasing her couldn't and they all fell into a pile by the roadside.
" Aish! You crazy chicken, get off me! " Jess shouted at Lochi .
" I am trying ok! Get off me Haz! "
" Wait , I am buried too . Get off lingigya!"
" I am buried too! "
" Aishhh! who's at the top ! Get off! Seriously!" Arissa roared from the bottom.
" Oh yes, sorry sorry ! " Kashiki got up and bowed 90 degrees at the still fallen people.
" Its ok , Kashi , You don't have to worry much! " Haz tried to reassure him as other got up and started to dust themselves.
" Ok anyway, You ! what did you do? Huh!" lingigya pointed towards Arissa , as she sputtered " What do you mean , what did I do ? huh! You people were chasing me , you tell me !"
" We were chasing you because you ran! We were minding our business when suddenly you saw us and ran!" Jess half shouted, annoyed.
" Minding your business! Huh ! You looked at me so suddenly, I thought I did something or another!"
' So they are not here for me huh, then what else can make the mediators came down here in the mundane world?'
" We apologize for the misunderstanding! Missus , perhaps you can tell us if you have noticed anything strange here? " Haz asked politely.
" Strange huh! What are you guys ? Some Ghost Catchers? "
" Oh no! we are just some curious mediators! Nothing more! My name is Kashiki, They are Hazel , Jessine and Locheco and this is lingigya. We are just curious about this world."
' Hmm sure , just some curious mediators with high enough badges to be able to brich security of mundane world ' Arissa snorted internally.
" Hmm, I see ! Then I can't tell you much but there back in the hill I saw a dead body when I went there to get some food but as I returned again the body had vanished!"
' Might as well make this kids solve this mystery! '
" Huh! why didn't you say something before ! Did your tacky dressing style went into your head?"
Jess never really had a good vocabulary.
" Hey, You brat! Is that how you talk with your elders ! And who are you calling tacky!?"
Haz sighed and stared going towards the hill.
Behind him Jess and that Missus were still shouting and Kashiki trying to dissuade them.
