BIRTH OF BLACK DRAGON

Arundhati's voice wove a tapestry of intrigue as she recounted the tale, "The boy possessed an extraordinary gift. His craftsmanship was so exquisite that a necklace he fashioned for me became the talk of the court. My friends, captivated by his designs, flocked to him, showering him with commissions. Within a month, he had attracted the attention of every Indian goldsmith, his business flourishing beyond imagination.

His prosperity, however, took a dark turn. He presented me with a collection of gold and diamond jewelry, so dazzling it stole my breath. "My son," I exclaimed, "these are magnificent! How did you create such wonders?" He replied, "Your Highness, whenever I work, I think of you, and that is why everything I create is beautiful." I was flattered, yet little did I know that this praise was a carefully laid trap, designed to unleash a wave of greed upon the land.

The jewelry, imbued with black magic, spread like wildfire, its allure amplified by its low price. People succumbed to its insidious influence, their hearts consumed by avarice. At this critical juncture, your grandfather recalled a map given to him by an old man, a map that promised to lead to a hidden cave. He was deeply troubled by the growing greed amongst his courtiers and citizens, and he believed this cave held the key to restoring balance.

One day, your grandfather, accompanied by a band of soldiers, followed the map and discovered the cave. It was a place of mystery, filled with golden tools and furniture-making implements. He was astonished by what he found. Deep within the cave, he encountered a meditating saint, to whom he confided the unfolding events. The saint emerged from his seclusion, his power dispelling the black magic that had gripped the people's hearts. Peace and prosperity returned to the nation.

The boy, the catalyst of the chaos, vanished. People, freed from the spell of greed, worked diligently, earning their livelihoods through honest means. But this tranquility was short-lived. A malevolent group, known as the Black Dragon, emerged, shattering the peace. Masters of black magic, they commanded spirits and the undead, unleashing nightly terror upon the land. Your grandfather, once again, sought the saint's aid and returned to the cave. This time, however, the sage's power was insufficient to quell the evil spirits. Weakened, your grandfather met his end within the cave's depths.

Now, his spirit seeks help, Smitha. You are the one who can aid him, but only if you find someone you love truly. True love is the key to rekindling the saint's power, to restoring peace and prosperity to the realm.

Meanwhile, in Goa, Arun Verma, Rudra's uncle, was caring for Alexander. Alexander, slowly recovering from injuries sustained a month prior, struggled with memory loss. The blood clot in his brain, a consequence of the injury, had been surgically addressed, but his memories remained elusive. The doctors explained that his memory might be restored if he revisited familiar places and encountered family members who could trigger his recollection.

Arun, planning to test Alexander's abilities within the week, considered offering him employment. He hoped to profit from Alexander's skills while simultaneously recouping his medical expenses. Driven by these thoughts, Arun initiated a background check on Alexander, dispatching spies to uncover his past and family connections.

In Gujarat, Rudra was immersed in managing the businesses of Akash and Prakash, his brothers. With both brothers abroad, the weight of responsibility rested solely on his shoulders. Tracy, ever-efficient, assisted him, supported by Nathan. In Paris, Jack, aided by Stella, handled recruitment and establishment matters on behalf of Tracy. Stella, having learned of Tracy's sacrifices for Tanishq, admired her dedication.

During this period, Prakash visited Paris for business dealings and was received by a manager of Rohit's. Rohit, Rudra's adoptive father and Prakash's biological father, had always supported Rudra. Recognizing Prakash's potential, Rohit was mentoring him, preparing him to share the burden of the Sharma Group empire. Rohit understood that Rudra, preoccupied with his own company, could not solely manage the vast conglomerate.

As the month drew to a close, the workload intensified. Tracy, tasked with the month-end closure and report submission, worked tirelessly. Over the past month, Rudra had observed Tracy's unwavering dedication, intelligence, and problem-solving skills. His affection for her deepened, though he maintained his anonymity.

With the report submitted and tasks completed, Rudra granted his staff a three-day holiday. The report, finalized on Thursday, earned them a long weekend starting Friday. The December nights in Gujarat were bitingly cold, and Rudra, anticipating his brothers' return in a week, remembered his promise to Smitha. He planned a trip to Delhi with Tracy, aiming to visit Smitha before the Delhi heat intensified in March. He would frame it as a family trip, but he needed to discuss it with Tracy.

The frost painted intricate patterns on the windows, a stark contrast to the warmth of the duvets. Rudra watched the ice crystals grow, his mind at peace. He knew that the morning would reveal a world transformed by ice, the crisp air a reminder of the cold night that had passed.

Rudra, having neglected his grandfather's diary for some time, decided to take Tracy out for some entertainment. He wanted to spend some quality time with her while simultaneously delving into the diary's secrets, hoping to unravel the mysteries of his existence. He suspected a connection between the paranormal events he had experienced and the information contained within the diary. Smitha's cryptic remarks about their generational connection further fueled his curiosity.

He called Tracy, who was surprised to receive a call from an unknown number. Rudra invited her to accompany him for two days, inquiring about her availability. Tracy, yearning for an outing but hesitant to explore her new surroundings alone, readily agreed.

What will Rudra uncover in his grandfather's diary? Will he find the answers he seeks about the cave and the Black Dragon? And will Tracy play a role in unraveling these ancient mysteries?
