time hourglass

A young girl is in midst of people walking absently minded thinking about James she was thinking of how to ask uncle Cain because she overheard James' coworkers blaming uncle Cain for what happened in the mine that is why she has to be careful in the kind of words she will use in talking to him suddenly she came to a halt "knock, knock, knock"

She has learned the majority of what happened in the mine when she went to look for James in the hands of the miners but Avery couldn't help but worry about James because he very dares to her.

when the door was open, in front of the door stood a woman in her mid thirty, Cain's wife Melissa is a nurse working in one of the town clinics she is well known in the town because of how well she treats the miners and Cain himself is laying down on the ground with injuries on his back.

"Greetings uncle Cain and auntie Melissa," said Avery while bowing down.

"ahhh Avery you came to visit me today and what brings you to my humble abode," said Cain while lifting his head with some difficulty to look at Avery.

"Avery my dear how have you been I always come to your house but I couldn't find you last time I told you to come to me if you need anything. so tell me dear what do you want," said Melissa while smiling affectionately towards Avery.

"Aunt Melissa I thank you for what you have done for me but James is the one catering for me after I Lost my parents I have been doing fine but something happens to James and I have been trying to reach him but couldn't find him and the guards have seized his house please uncle Cain were can I find him"

"dear the boy cause a lot of trouble this time around the spirit jade stone he destroyed is up to 500 gold coins so where do you expect him to get such an amount of money from that's why his house is been used to pay for the debt and as for the boy I don't know where he is and you can see my current situation "

"Uncle I'm sorry for what James might have done to you but is it not enough for them to only seize his house why is it that I couldn't see him around anywhere in the town I have been looking for him since yesterday but I couldn't find him"

"Avery let me tell you this so that you won't bother yourself going to look for him the supervisor orders the guard to kick James out of the town after they seize his house so that is why you haven't seen him around I believe he is a strong boy he will come back"

she started feeling anxious and said"uncle are you sure he will come back to the town what if the guards did not allow him to enter the town"

"no it was because the supervisor was angry at that time that's why he told the guards to kick him out of the town so don't worry the guard won't do anything to him," said Cain not certain himself

"dear don't worry James is a strong boy I think he will push through this ordeal come I have something to give you last time that I came to your house I couldn't see you around but today come let's head to my room," said Melissa with a smile

Melissa and Avery left Cain and move to the room in which Melissa stays in she went to her wardrobe to pick a bag she have packaged beforehand and handed it over to Avery.

"Avery in this bag is the precious baby that I wore when I was your age and with this, I know you will capture your man's heart when he comes back," said Melissa teasingly while touching her chest

"ahh! auntie stop, anyway thanks I am very grateful," said Avery while smiling.

After collecting the bag from auntie Melissa Avery decided to go back to her house thinking about what uncle Cain have said she felt assured and looking at the bag in her hand she started smiling and feeling happy.

thousands of kilometers away from the jade city in a dense forest taking up to 8mkm square with different cries of spirit beast and intoxicating fragrance of spirit herbs and dense cloud of spirit qi everywhere. the stood an ancient-looking building standing tall among the trees with smaller buildings surrounding it.

And around the small building, you could see thousands of disciples moving around. some were training, some are working in the herbs field, some were selling weapons and pills, and some cultivating silently.

This is one of the ancient sects in the Emerald Empire having millions of disciples even a land mass larger than the capital of the Emerald Empire. it was said that the sect is among the few ancient sect remaining that have Aura constructing realm elder cultivator and also rumored to have True constructing realm cultivator which is the peak of a cultivator in the present time.

At the top of an ancient-looking building in one of the passages of the building is a middle age man clad in white. with long hair held up with the aid of a golden pin, a well-groomed beard with an imposing Aura walking with a steady step towards a big door at the end of a passage opening the door to the room in it sat a man in a golden robe with long white hair and white beard setting down with a calm demeanor engrossed in the scroll on the table but suddenly his aura change to an imposing demeanor

"oh, mighty sect master what brings you to my place today? why didn't you send the elders or do you have something important for me"

The sect master with a smile on his face replied.

"Grandmaster is as perceptive as always indeed I have two important reports to convey the first is the upcoming angel's magic competition which is held by the Emerald Empire and occurs every century and the second is the greatest weapon used by the savior of humanity the time hourglass something happens yesterday when I went to where it was kept I saw that the time inside the room it was kept and the surrounding was different so I decided to come to you give me advice on what to do "

After hearing what the sect master said the grand master sat there silently with a serious face before saying.

"you did well for bringing this to my notice you might not know what happened in that bygone era but I was little then when my master told me about what happened and my master was among those that fight against the tyranny of the primordial spirit and he said the time hourglass was one of the weapons that our savior used to fight against the primordial spirit after the angel gave humanity the chance to fight against the primordial spirit for the time hourglass to become active all of it might be the primordial spirit of time have gotten a successor or in an upheaval is coming up and also have you heard from the other ancient sect whether the any of the savior weapons have reacted"

"No grand master I haven't I just want to let you know so that you will instruct me on what to do"

"Okay you can go now it has been a long since I came out of my seclusion so let me go and check with my friends and let them know what is happening so that we will be prepared"

"Yes grand master," said the sect master and decided to go back to what he has been doing but he heard the grand master sayings

"sect master you should know what this could mean, right? if it does turn out to be as serious as where think we have to inform other smaller sects and the empire it has been a long time of peace and the world we are leaving is as peaceful as it will ever be to the extent some of the disciples are afraid to kill even though we try teaching them if a war is to occur or the primordial spirit is to come back our chances of winning is close to non."

With an understanding look the sect master said"I have heard you, grand master"

"Also send some elder to other sects to start training their disciple in the act of killing and set a competition for them and they should start recruiting new disciple so that humanity will have a chance against whatever will coming our way"

After that, the grand master walk out of the room heading towards the room that the time hourglass was kept after checking whether the time hourglass is in working condition he nodded his head and disappeared from the place he was standing with the time hourglass in his hands.
