Strange Happenings
"Did you read today's newspaper? Another house was robbed."
"Huh ? That would be 4 days in a row now."
"Atleast two houses are robbed everyday. Jeez, What are the cops even doing?"
"Leaving that aside, the burglars are really uncivilized. Why do they mess the houses up after stealing what they want. Sometimes it feels like they are not human but beasts."
"Whatever. Say how are things going at work..."
Sanvia was sitting quietly in the corner of the Cafe alone listening to all these gossips and chatters. Somehow this robberies didn't seem usual to her. Robbery wasn't the only strange thing happening in Kabeidina nowadays.
People have been seeing weird shadows lurking around in the dark at night. All the roses have been torned away from their plants. There are bite marks on apples in various shops in the town.
"Although these things don't seem to have any connections but I know, there must be something" Sanvia told herself.
Sanvia was originally not from Kabeidina. She was on a vacation here for one month with her aunt. She was always interested in myths and legends. She does research on her own to find the truth behind them.
It has already been one week since Sanvia arrived Kabeidina. She spent most of her time for the first two days in the library reading about the legends and myths of Kabeidina and Warloma. There was one book on legends which was placed far away in a dark corner where no one would notice. It was covered in dust telling her that no one had touched it for a while. She read that book. There was something that she noticed. Most of the legends stated in that book were not found in any of the other books. She thought nothing of it because those 'legends' didn't seem to be true and that's why no one had read it.
But strangely from the next day all those strange phenomenon started taking place.
Sanvia was sharp in mind. She put together all the points which made sense in only one way. It was a legend stated in that strange book,
' The Diamond Of Jemtar '
