Hello my fellow Jade mains. As a Jade/Cipher main myself I’m thinking I’m not fully utilizing my Jade as an E1S1 haver. I mainly use her on a Anaxa-Robin(Harmony)-Aventurine(Preservation)-Jade team. Anaxa as Debt Collector. He is a great debt collector generating great points. However I’m wondering if there’s new/better Debt Collectors to use for her. fyi I don’t have Therta, Tribbie, any elation characters. I’m also currently trying to get Rin. For possible Debt Collectors I have: Jing Yuan, Argenti, Anaxa, Blade(Destruction), Mortenax Blade (shortly all male chars minus DHIL and will have Rin eventually) As for supports, I have E0S0 Cyrdra and Cipher, E2S0 Robin, Sunday E0S1, MBlade E0S0 (planning to get E2S1 in the future)

And if you know did her best build change? Is there new BiS sets since release for her?
Please let me know!

"A single shard from the past, revealing the truth.

A resurfacing memory, to peek through time.

Follow the RULES if you want to see their memory:

-ALWAYS stay under the candlelight.

-Don't let any other light source near her.

-Don't go into light.

-Don't look away or blink unless she does.

-Don't decide on your own.

Follow her and she'll let you see what you desire to see. One memory from the past that does not belong to you.

1_ Grab a wide ceramic plate and place the candle on top.

2_ Go to your desired person's house -whom you wanna get a glimpse of their past- and leave the entrance door open, you need to invite her in.

3_ When the clock hits midnight, make sure all the lights are turned off.

4_ Light the candle with a match and hold the plate with your both hands. Wait patiently, your impatience will make her raged.

5_ She will enter the house before 1 A.M. If she does not, leave everything and go. She will know what to do, and won't hurt you.

6_ When she does come in, she will grab your hands from beneath, let her shut the door and guide you.

7_ She will bring you to the last room they were in, and grant you your vision.

8_ When she's gone, destroy the plate and extinguish the candle. Don't tell anything what you've witnessed.

Never break the RULES and follow each step accordingly. Don't try something stupid. We don't know what happens when she's raged."

This piece of paper was taped on a public restroom mirror at the gas station near my house. I looked around, no one was there. Just me in the dark, smelly and dirty restroom. The buzzing sound of the fluorescent lights and the leaking faucet next to me was the only things I could hear.

I wasn't able to contact my mother in the past three days. I don't know if I should tell someone because this happens quite often. She vanishes without telling a single soul for a couple of days, and then reappears spontaneously. This time, however, I have a weird feeling about it.

Although as bizarre as it sounds, "seeing one memory that doesn't belong to me" could help me find her. This "game" sounds pretty insane, and probably shouldn't be "played". But...

The rusty old door suddenly swung open by a stranger with loud bang. I shoved the paper in my left pocket and washed my hands. Upon exiting, there wasn't any paper towel left in the machine, of course. I quickly bought the stuff I needed and started heading home with my still dripping wet hands.

I pulled out the paper as I started walking down the narrow pavement. "Don't decide on your own, follow her and she'll let you see what you desire to see." First of all, what on earth is that supposed to mean and who the hell is she? An old witch holding mischievous potions, or some fortune teller with a magical crystal ball in her hands? Not a single mention of a name either, just a she. It sounds pretty creepy but also very demanding to a stupid horror fan like myself. I don't usually believe in these types of shenanginans. Because, let's be honest who actually does? This "masterpiece" was probably written by a 15-year-old boy who has nothing to do in his free time.

Now, coming to the more obvious question: Do I try it? Does this ritual make me witness my mom's latest memory? Is it going to give me an idea of where she could be? Or just any memory? Or perhaps all memories? Well, that is if it actually works. Ugh- what am I even thinking, of course it's not real! I sighed loudly as I looked down on the paper one more time.

Just as I was about to let go of the paper, I saw our neighbor walking the other way. She looked presumably in a rush. When she finally saw me, we exchanged a quick and awkward glance for a second as she disappeared out of my sight.

That's when I realized I'd walked to my house in under 10 minutes. I checked my phone to see not a single notification or call from mom, or anyone else. It was 5.54 P.M. the sun was setting and a gentle breeze hit my face. It was nice, perfect to breathe in. Last few days were more on the colder side, not as bad as winter yet though. Unfortunately this part of the year lasted so short. That is fall to you, burning hot for the first weeks, just a handful of days with decent and warmer weather before winter hits.

I twisted the lock and pushed the door open. The house felt warmer, a bit more comforting. The last bits of sunshine were about to fade as I stared at nothingness. I felt the ashes of nostalgia burning in me, slowly turning into emptiness then melancholy and loneliness. My mom? No idea where she is. My siblings? Left us long ago. And the familiar feeling of just home? Nonexistent. Uh. Just...

...

I cooked and ate everything in the blink of an eye. The next thing I knew, I was staring at the TV with the empty bowl on my lap, my eyes barely open. Darkness has settled down on the city, the TV being the only visible light source left. Sleep was begging right outside my door, desperate to get in. I had no intentions to keep it outside. A love-hate relationship, I would call it perhaps. Reality faded before I even realized. Calmness slowly invaded my brain, the weight of stress gradually lifting off me. Finally sleep swallowed me whole.

...

"One last chance, please!" He begged and begged. The girl didn't think twice, didn't even look at his face and left. 11.47 P.M. The commercials then took the place of the classic dramatic movie. It was an old one, I've watched it a couple of times already. The classic romance movie I'm pretty sure you've heard of. "Beside the Candle."

I pulled myself off the sofa, yawning wide. Made my way to the kitchen, with the bowl still in my hands. No way I would wash it now. I was heading back to my bedroom but...

"crunch!"

The piece of paper was on the ground, from the gas station. I went from sleepy to wide awake in a blink. The writings, the rules, the game... I picked it up. "When the clock hits midnight, make sure all the lights are turned off." I checked my phone, now it was 11.53 P.M. Should I do it? Most definitely not. But my mom, she... I read it again. It must show me a memory of mom, a clue about where she is. "One memory from the past that does not belong to you."

It's 11.58 P.M. I had everything ready, the plate, the candle, the match. I closed my eyes, took a shaky deep breath and waited. "What if it doesn't work?" "What if she doesn't come?" "What if I see a disturbing memory?" "What if..."

I lit the candle and opened the door. The plate was in my hands. Right after the candle started burning, a chilling breeze swept past me, flickering the candle. A set of dark blue eyes appeared in front of me, making me involuntarily jerk back. SHE was here. Her incredibly cold hands, holding mine from beneath. The candlelight turned a dark shade of blue, exactly the same as her flamy eyes. The door was shut with a powerful bang.

Her face wasn't visible, just her eyes and the white hat she was wearing. It resembled a witch's hat, so wide it nearly poked the candle. The room was getting colder and darker. I couldn't see past a meter, as if a dark black sphere was surrounding us. And it was dead silent for a moment. My heart was pounding so rapidly I thought it'd jump out of my chest. Then her head tilted, I saw the creepiest smile I've ever seen in my life. A shiver ran down my spine, making me tremble.

She began slowly walking backwards, the sharp heels of her shoes scraping the floor with an irritating sound. Her movements were precise, no sign of hesitation nor uncertainty. Her eyes filled with determination. She was also humming a melody, a classic I suppose.

As we were walking, I heard something rattling. It had to be the washer. I tried to make out what direction it was coming from. I think we were in the hallway, going to my mom's room. Suddenly, she paused. I lost my balance, nearly crashing down on the plate. My chin touched the candle, the heat burning my skin. I managed to pull myself back with a hiss. The pain was sharp, like a thousand needles piercing my skin.

Even before I could react properly, we started walking again, this time faster. The pain was bearable, I regained my balance quickly. As we got closer to the room, the candlelight grew bigger and bigger, her eyes burned stronger and stronger.

She stopped again, I wasn't caught off guard this time. We were here, my mom's room. I could feel it. She looked at me one last time, before bowing her head and setting her hat ablaze. She squeezed my hands and mumbled:

"The unknown speaks once more,

You shall see what we swore."

And with that, I was in my mom's car. On an unfamiliar road, in the middle of nowhere. My mom was on the phone, talking to someone from her job.

+ Yes I am on my way, 3 hours max. Please hold on.

‐ 3 hours? What the hell are we supposed to do until that!? Are you kidding me?

+ I can't teleport for God's sake! Find a way.

She was out of town for a job meeting? What was so important? And most importantly, why wasn't she answering her phone, she clearly had it with her. Did it die?

+OKAY! I'm going over the speed limit, it shouldn't take that long.

-Good to hear, hurry.

The car accelerated faster and faster, 120 km/h. My mom was sweating, there was a delicious smell coming from the back. I looked back at the back seat. At the corner was a paper bag, takeout food. And my favorite. Was she going to bring these to me? When I looked back at mom, I saw a terrified look on her face. She screamed loudly as I felt gravity lose its grip on me. The car had flown off the road, the road meters away from us. The last thing I saw was a beautiful sea lying beneath.

"MOM!"

I screamed as loudly as I could, but the vision had disapeared. I was back at the house, just standing in the middle of mom's bedroom. I couldn't move, not after seeing this. The lady vanished after her burning hat completely turned into ash. The ashes hit the ground, so did the plate. It shattered into pieces and shards went flying everywhere. The candle has also extinguished.

I looked up and saw my reflection on the mirror. My hands and feet were frozen. I wanted to move but couldn't. I just stared at the reflection, my brain going numb. Maybe, maybe this was all a dream, no? No.

To Aventurine or not?
