Paraedons: A War beginning

**Chapter 9: **Reality of jaba's identity**

Karthik and Abbey sat in front of Professor Durga, their faces serious and filled with the weight of what they were about to reveal. Finally, after a tense silence, Karthik spoke, "Professor, we know that you discovered our secret. We are indeed the descendants of the Jaba tribe. But we beg you, please, don't share this information with anyone else."

Professor Durga’s expression remained calm. Without a word, she reached for a piece of paper and wrote a simple message: *"Do exactly as I say."* She handed the note to Karthik and Abbey, her eyes locked on theirs, hinting at the gravity of the task ahead.

"What do you want us to do?" Abbey asked, uncertainty and determination mixing in his voice.

Professor Durga took a deep breath and wrote again on the paper: *"You must find others like you as soon as possible. The true leader of the Paraedons is in Australia, and he has been alive for over 1,300 years. He is spreading terror across Asia using ancient powers."*

She paused, letting the words sink in, then continued writing: *"We must act before Diwali. Diwali night will be the final chance to stop him. If we fail, it will be the last night for Asia."*

Karthik and Abbey felt a chill run down their spines. They had only a month left until Diwali, and the task seemed almost impossible—to find all the remaining descendants of the Jaba tribe and unite them against a threat that had survived for centuries.

Professor Durga’s urgency was clear; they had no time to waste. Knowing how difficult it would be to gather everyone in such a short period, MacMillan quickly stepped in with a plan. He suggested dividing the mission into three separate teams to cover more ground and increase their chances of success.

The teams were formed as follows:

- **Team Maxine:** Responsible for searching the northern regions of India.
- **Team Millie:** Tasked with covering the central parts of the country.
- **Team Geane:** Assigned to explore the southern regions.

Each team had only a week to complete their task—to track down as many Jaba descendants as possible and bring them to a safe location where they could unite in their fight against the Paraedons.

The stakes were high, and everyone knew it. With the leader of the Paraedons still hidden in Australia, his influence was growing stronger day by day, and his control over Asia was tightening. The ancient powers he wielded had already caused chaos in multiple regions, and if they didn’t stop him before Diwali, there would be no hope for the future.

As the teams prepared to depart on their mission, they were well aware that their work would be filled with dangers and uncertainties. They knew that failure was not an option—too much was at risk. The clock was ticking, and every moment counted in the race to gather the scattered members of the Jaba tribe before the looming threat on Diwali night.

The journey ahead was not just a battle against time but a battle for survival itself.
