Lord Shadow

Chapter 1859: Watchers



There is a huge planet at the edge of the Universe

This planet has a huge Sea, and is called the Great Sea in this planet. It separates large vast continent and huge tall mountains that reached the blue clouds.

On top of the sky is a purple sun shining over the glowing cities of this world.

This is Orvan galaxy and this planet that have purple sun is Orvan, the home planet of Orvanians.

Orvan race is bluish green in colour.

Though they have mastered the way of disguise and could appear like any beings they wished when in Orvan they revert to their skin colours so that they could absorb the purple energy from their sun

They are ancient beings of great knowledge.

They stored the knowledge of the ancient past and knows the knowledge of the current world

Right now, there is someone looking through and gigantic telescope.

It is the Galaxy Scope of Orvan.

An Orvanian is watching something and he frowned sometimes and at times seems shocked. The furrowed eyebrows and the unstable aura around the Orvan shows his anxiety.

Every once in a while, he woudla vert his gaze away from the Scope and take time to replenish his energyn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Galaxy Scope that he uses is not the same Galaxy Scope that the Old Ones uses. But it has some of the properties of the Galaxy Scopes of the Old Ones

And it consume energy.

The energy of the Watcher of the Scope.

In the history of Orvan there is only a few Watchers that have the ability to see through and use the Galaxy Scope as efficiently as the Old Ones

The most famous or one would argue infamous is Sithulran from the House of Sith.

This Orvan took some time around and hour or so before he continue watches.

Most of the time, he would look at all kinds of things.

The birth of a new galaxy, the birth of life in that galaxy, the end of a galaxy, stars exploding, time distorting and barriers of worlds thinning.

Most of the time this is the things the Watchers look out for.

The Galaxy Scope itself is an instrument of time and space and what he sees might be something that happens millions or even trillions of years ago.

So, the Watchers also could look for cause and effect. And what causes that cause and effect

A stone that is embedded in a soil a thousand years ago, could become an effect a thousand years later.

There was one thing in particular that make this Watcher in particular very curious. In a planet he saw, there was a stone embedded on a soil a thousand years ago by a small human kid

This kid was then killed by someone. A thousand years later, that stone causes the descendant of that killer to die when that stone punctured the descendant of that killer wagon causing the wagon to veer off road before being attacked by a raiding tribe.

Is it Karma? Does the descendant paying the price for the deeds of the ancestors?

The Orvanian did not think so.

He believes that the time has come for that person to die and Death has come to claim its soul.

The destiny and fate of mortals are all calculated already.

A thousand years old plan all to make sure that a soul a thousand years later die at the exact moment that they should die

Not a moment left, not a moment wasted.

Death in particular is very efficient.

They are the model of waste reduction.

Once they made a plan, they stick to it. And they rarely failed

But could the death of that mortal be averted?

It could have.

All it takes was for that mortal to choose a different route.

Or make a different choice.

But all the choices made, lead that mortal to that route, to ride that wagon and to finally hit that stone, and that was the perfect final nail in the coffin for that mortal

A thousand years ago, that is the answer.

To change it entirely, the mortal should go to a thousand years ago, prevent his ancestor from killing that child.

If that child lives, he might dug up that stone back. And a thousand years later, that mortal would survive his fatal destiny.

But mortals could not see through time and space

They could not see through cause and effect.

When they die, they blame all kinds of divine beings.

Sometimes, death is a release.

Sometimes, it is a punishment.

Sometimes, it is just fairness

Young and old, rich or poor, weak and strong, in front of Death, you are all equal.

Choices of the past shape the future. A mother losing her child blames not her actions of the past but the divine beings that have nothing to do with her losing her child.

Sometimes, it is not even the blame of the mother but of her predecessor.

Leaving genes that are not conducive to fertility. Sometimes, it is the fault of her oppressor that oppress her ancestors which affect their descendants

Sometimes, it is the fault of some regime enacting some brutal scientific experiment that continues to affect future generations

And all of them would someday come to justice. Death is not the end. And for some that

sentence is hope.

And for some it is warning and a promise.

This is all cause and effect.

But the one that got the blame is always the divine beings.

But it is understandable.

Mortals are not called mortals if they could see through cause and effect, if they could see

through time and space and knowing what went wrong.

This is the common things that Orvanian that is tasked on the Galaxy Scope would see. They would record it on the Multiversal Codex and then the Multiversal Codex information would be streamed to the Multiversal Codex Storage

Today, was like any other day in the Life Observatory.

The Orvan was looking at all the Multiverse, noting where barriers are thinning and where rift

begins to appears.

Every once in a while, the Orvan Watcher could see that some breaches appeared. All over the Multiverse he sees life appears, life rising

And where there is life, there is death. In the beginning all of this is quite magical. But after a while, while it is still beautiful, it is not out of the ordinary.

But then, the Watcher feels a fluctuation of destiny and fate and the Galaxy Scope began handing out notification of warning. And the Watcher is panicked

"There is trouble. This is above my paygrade" The Watcher has quite the authority to send some forces when certain disturbance reach a dangerous level. But the notification that is being sent out by the Galaxy Scope status analysis, shows that this is not a normal disturbance that could be resolved by sending few fleets of Orvanian defense force.

"I need to inform the Old Ones" He quickly recorded all that he sees in the Multiversal Codex and before he went out of the Life Observatory, the Watcher send all the information of today occurrence to the Multiversal Codex storage.

Then he rides the Skycar to the High Council Palace.

All along the way, the Watcher uses all of his authority to clear the way and to inform the

guards of the High Council Palace that he should not be obstructed.

There is an emergency and the Ooid Ones needs to be notified of this problem

....

In the past, only the Old Ones are allowed to enter the Life Observatory.

Time has changed and sometimes the Old Ones has other things to do, other thoughts to think

And in this era, there is even more things to think about. The Old Ones usually would have seen what the Watchers had seen.

But since a few years ago, they have secluded themselves in the newly built High Council

Palace

This new High Council Palace has even more advanced specifications that projects psionic power all over the Multiverse.

For the past few years, the Multiversal Codex information would be solved in the High Council Palace before the order is relayed back to the Watchers.

Of course, the kind of problem that requires the Old Ones to step-in would-be disturbance like the Multiversal Convergence or the Attracting Multiversal Pulsar or events that shakes reality of more than five galaxy system

The Watcher arrives in front of the door of the Dark Room. The guards asked and the Watcher repeated what he had said and he uses his badge and the guards opens the room,

The Watchers enters the room and see floating thrones. There is no need for much formality.

In emergency, formality such as greeting could be ignored And the Watcher believed that this is an emergency.

The Watcher and the Old Ones speak to each other telepathically and then the Watcher excuse

himself and went out of the Dark Room

The door of the huge room once again closed and the room is silent once again

.....

The Five Seats got the news and they were silent. Were they thinking of something? Or are

they too shocked after hearing the news.

One of them sighed and the sigh echoes all over the Dark Room.
