章 43: Chapter 43 - Solved Symbol

Mina giggled and nuzzled close. "By the way those are longitude and longitude, not Sudoku number hehe," she laughed out loud.

"Really," Reya brought her inside the room and sat her comfortably on the couch. Covering her with a small blanket, she softly tucked her in. "now let's solve some clues," she bopped her cute little button nose.

Clive on the other hand he stood next to the table holding the small printed copy of the symbol. "What she said might be right.. the two numbers on the sides might be a location," he whispered and ran towards his tablet.

He opened it and entered 49 and the other number was just 7 he did not know what the longitude might be.

Reya walked over and took the paper from him. "Longitude does not go above 700 or below 7 so the other number might be from 1 to 9. Can we search the location with the sequence," she whispered.

If they search for the location using latitude 40 and longitude 70,71,72….. and so on they might be able to find the actual location. Then they might have only ten possible locations to choose from.

They started searching all the locations from the ten. The nearest was just twenty minutes far from them and the other locations were all spread out.

"This is good. Then what about the numbers in the middle of the symbol," Clive whispered doubtfully.

Mina saw this from the corner. Even from that far, she could see what that was written on the paper. After she got the moon rock, her senses have heightened. She could smell, see, and hear everything from far. But her health was still in the slump. "2 and a nine…. What could it be? Maybe is it a date….." she whispered to herself.

If the numbers were possibly a date, then... the symbol indicated that someone was beckoning Reya to the location on that particular date. She glanced around at the small puppy calendar on the table. "Then the date is set two months from now," she whispered.

She glanced up at her sister and Clive doing the location analysis. "What would be there? How does it save me? Would my sister be in danger?" she whispered.

"Reya," she called out loud.

Reya turned back and whispered, "What is it, dear?"

"I know what that symbol means," Mina whispered with a smirk.

After which she took time to explain that the numbers on the centre represent the dates, second of September. The numbers on the sides were latitude and longitude. If they narrow it down, this symbol was actually summoning Reya over to the location on this particular date.

"It's June now then….. in three months I need to visit the location…. why?" Reya concentrated on all the clues she had as of now. First, Artemis would not have given this without any reason. 'What would that be? Why?' she thought.

Suddenly a thought struck. Once she remembered Artemis telling her about a test.

"Clive! It's a test! The test, oh my god, Artemis mentioned this. She said that this test could save Mina," Reya exclaimed, holding his shoulders.

Clive pried open her tight grip and massaged his shoulders. "Okay, what kind of test?"

"That I don't know. But I'm sure it's a test," Reya said confidently.

Mina glanced at them and chuckled she was so happy that she was able to help her sister but the test… it made her anxious somehow. As if something was not right with it. She held Reya's hands and glanced up. "Reya…. do you have to go to this test?"

Reya patted her small hand. There was a small bandage on her hand where the IV was connected. She softly kissed it and whispered, "Dear, there won't be any problem. I trust Artemis,"

Seeing her confident look, Mina relented. She too had no way of stopping her. This was the first time she regretted having such a frail body and health. 'If I was healthy, my family would not have to suffer like this,' she thought frowning.

Reya and Clive were too excited to notice.

Reya clung to Clive's shoulder and shouted, "Then we have to start my training. Master Clive, you have to teach me how to fight,"

Clive brushed her hands away and adjusted his glasses. "That is going to cost,"

"What! You miser, come one help a friend will you," she whined and ran around him.

With a small smirk, he watched her antics. In his heart he knew that is he helped her train her powers, her health would deteriorate. Her organs cannot handle the pressure. But…. if he didn't train her, she would try to use her powers recklessly and hurt herself even more.

"Fine, I'll teach you how to master your powers," Clive whispered with a small smile.
