Paraedons: A War beginning

**Chapter 12 Strange meeting**

The team reaches the Thar Desert in Rajasthan while tracking a location. They discover the presence of four people in Alwar. As they head towards Alwar, they suddenly face a strong attack; a huge man halts their car with a rope. He turns out to be an executioner from Paraedons. After the incident in Pondicherry, the Paraedons became aware of the whereabouts of Jaba's descendants and spread across the region to hunt them down.

However, the locals around the area come to their aid and overpower the executioner, allowing Geane and his team to continue their journey to Alwar. During their search in Alwar, Beng accidentally bumps into a girl. As her belongings fall, Beng notices that she is wearing the same bracelet that Abbey and Karthik once wore. Beng suspects that the girl might be a descendant of Jaba and decides to follow her quietly.

The girl, feeling threatened, confronts Beng and demands to know why he is following her. Beng writes on a piece of paper to reassure her, explaining that he’s there to find Jaba’s descendants, and he believes she might be one of them. The girl, named Mala Chaudhary, eventually agrees to take him to a safer place for further discussion.

Mala introduces Beng to her friends: Manjeet, Tara, and Sabiha. She tells Beng about another friend, Anik, who was with them until two years ago. Unfortunately, due to a betrayal that revealed Jaba's secret, Anik and other members were attacked by the Paraedons, and many were killed in the conflict. She shares how they have been hiding in Alwar, running an orphanage to conceal their true identity.

Beng then explains to the group that he’s not from India but from an island called Sorcerland, a place often plagued by negative energies. His friend, MacMillan, a lover of libraries, found a book about a battle that took place 1300 years ago involving the Jaba tribe. He tells them that MacMillan has come to India to end the war started by the Paraedons. He also mentions Professor Durga from Bengal, who has been aiding them in this mission.

Beng insists that they must come to Bengal because they are gathering all the descendants to face the Paraedons. He warns them that they have to act quickly because, on the night of Diwali, the Paraedons plan to unleash a monster in India, which could lead to disaster. Everything needs to be resolved before then.

Mala hesitates, expressing her doubts about their safety. Beng assures her that Durga Ji has promised to help them. Just as he convinces her, Geane and the rest of the team arrive, saying they need to leave quickly because more executioners are closing in. Mala then leads them to a hidden passage in the orphanage that Mayi Ji built specifically for emergencies. They escape through an underground tunnel that stretches across three states, eventually reaching Bengal safely, avoiding the gaze of their enemies.
