About Time
Princess Rougrish
After a few days...
"When it came out, long ago bosen, for the atmosphere, hard to practice, no book. But, teleportation, I have memorized how, only practice, it would be good if I could teleport" Mayla said.
"Son"
Suddenly the voice of my grandfather came from the prison next door. Mayla looked towards the prison next to her, and approached in that direction.
"Have you called me?" asked Mayla.
"What made you here?", asked the man.
"It's not a problem, I'm just talking presumptuously to the King, when it's a fact" Mayla replied, staring blankly ahead.
"It's almost the same as I turned out to be" the man said. Mayla just kept quiet and took her breath.
"Sit near this prison barrier, I'll tell you a story."
At that time, Belugart's border war with neighboring countries. General Rougrish led the war, all went well and they managed to control the battlefield. It was late, General Rougrish planned to return to the palace tomorrow, but suddenly the tent he was in burned down. The soldiers reported to the palace about it but they reported that the general died in the war, and the palace announced that General Rougrish died in the war despite bringing victory. At that time there was a soldier who said that General Rougrish did not die because of death, but his tent was deliberately burned. 2 The soldier saw for himself how the perpetrator who was then a General just as General Rougrish burned his tent. However, he had no solid evidence to support his confession. Eventually he was put in jail for accusing a general of without evidence. Fortunately one of them both missed, but he was threatened if he revealed the facts, then his family would be killed. Since being threatened, he left the kingdom and never returned.
"Therefore I am here" said the man.
Mayla rolled her eyes hearing this, the general was none other than her father. Although Verick is not his real father, but he makes Mayla still feel the presence of a father.
"Who set fire to General Rougrish's tent?", asked Mayla firmly.
"He is the major military general of the present palace, your father's cousin, Vorges Rougrish. After he ascended the position of general was vacated, but if the descendants of Verick Rougrish did not appear in the near future, then the position of General was relegated to the son of Vorges Rougrish, namely Geannor Rougrish."
"Dad..."
"Dad?! Who are you?", the man asked in shock.
"I'm the adopted daughter of Verick Rougrish"
"What?!! You?!! The legend goes", the man was shocked by Mayla's words.
"That's it, now you have to think about how I got out of here."
"One way, you ask the King to isolate you to Lake Emily, but this way will be free" he said lethargic.
"Why is it free?", asked Mayla.
"Rumorically, the smell of the lake can attract creatures who smell the aroma into the water and the lake can kill any creature that enters where, or where, every man who is condemned to Lake Emily will be erased from his sinful record, for if he survives, he will be born a new soul, his soul clean from sin. But if it can't survive, that person will die, so just forget about it this way. You're just a weakling, afraid you'll be dead in a matter of seconds."
"Forgetit? Just because of rumors I had to wait a long time in this prison until I was free? You underestimated me because I was only 14 years old, huh! It's a waste of my time, I'll try it that way. Could I have survived?"
"Hey, don't play games! You bored kid's living."
"I'm not afraid to die, I've even died once and lived the same way again, so what's the fear of death for?"
"Basic is not sane!"
"HEY!! PLEASE MEET ME WITH THE KING! HEYY?! YOU GUYS DIDN'T HEAR OR PRETEND YOU DIDN'T HEAR?! OI! I KNOW YOU HEARD!! I SWEAR YOU ARE COMPLETELY DEAF!! You deaf, huhh!", Mayla tried to yell and ask the guard in front but ignored, it upset her.
"Why do you want to meet the King?"
The sound made Mayla surprised and twisted her body, seen prince Sean standing in front of his prison.
"Bring me to the King, I want to beg you for something."
"You want to beg to be released? It's just free."
"Who said I wanted to be let go? Don't know you, now please take me to the King."

"What made you want to see me?", asked the King to see that Mayla was now in front of him.
"Please release the servant from the prison, and in exchange, Your Majesty can exile me to Lake Emily."
"Are you tired of living? What if you die? The possibility of living there is very little, very little, even until now none of them can survive. You have thought well of your choice?", asked the King who was a little surprised by Mayla's request.
"Hamba is sure, Your Majesty."
"All right, I hope we can meet again. Soldier, take him to the edge of the lake."
"Hey, what if you were just my concubine? But you will not be a queen, only a concubine. Just follow my words, you will live happily, how?", Sean suddenly spoke and made everyone there surprised. Mayla who was currently near the door leading out stopped upon hearing that.
"Sorry prince, it deviates from my life principles. I live in my own hands, I do not live under the control of others, I live and stand on my own feet. And I also don't like being a concubine if you end up just obeying all your words, isn't it the same as living like a toy doll? I am not ruled but I rule. I'm sorry for the prince, I hope we meet again" Mayla said, looking into Sean's eyes confidently with a faint smile, then she left the room. Mayla's decision made the palace maid feel pity, as she had already rejected the valuable offer.
'Her eyes, sharp and beautiful. Why did she cover her beautiful eyes with glasses? Where did he get his glasses? Where are the glasses?'

Mayla began to enter the lake area, she smelled a cool aroma coming from the lake. He went down the road until he got to the edge of the lake.
'Which is rumored to be true, this scent can make people unconscious, a kind of hypnotic, unfortunately this scent can not affect me, which can control me only myself, nothing else', unfortunately', mayla said in her heart.
He began to touch the lake water, initially the water was pure white, but after being touched the water turned into boiling hot blood. As he stared at the water, suddenly came out a spirit that had a sinister appearance. In the chest, there is an internal organ, which means that the part was used up in surgery but not closed back, left abandoned. His skin was filled with black veins, his eyes were full black, and his hands held a human heart. The creature approaches Mayla, but Mayla is not afraid in the slightest of the creature's appearance. Mayla's inaction made the spirit silent and astonished.
"Why silence? Not attacking me?", said Mayla, but the creature was silent.
"Why? You're not going to kill me? Or maybe you don't have the ability to kill me? Then how do you kill the body of the spirit behind you?"
"Why aren't you scared? Is my appearance less creepy?", asked the creature. Mayla just silently looked at it, then folded her arms around her chest as if she was just observing the creature.
"I'm used to seeing things like this, even if I see the process of disassembling a human body myself, things like this won't scare me. What if I'm not scared? The fear of your enemies is your weapon yes, I only understood after observing how you scared me, but when you saw me not scared, you shook in fear. What's wrong with you?", Mayla smiled as she looked at the creature, making it turn into an ordinary girl and cry. Mayla just fell silent looking at him, she had no idea what she should do at the moment.
"I am dead, but I hold a grudge in my heart, I cannot be reincarnated before the grudge in my heart is gone.but if it is too long here and not reincarnated, the aura of life", the girl said while shedding tears. But in an instant he became angry.
"But I wouldn't be willing if that grudge just disappeared, I wouldn't be reincarnated before my vengeance is avenged!"
"You seem to care a lot about your fine, but if you're just here waiting for the person you hate to enter your illusion of fear, your spirit will be destroyed before that moment comes. Come with me to the outside world, meet the person you hate and then avenge that. But I don't know how you can get out of this lake."
"really? Actually I can make a deal with you, but your energy doesn't seem to be enough to do the process. Even I see, you do not have the aura of a training stage of self-purification, whereas to make a pact with a spirit, you must be at the first soul formation level. So how do we make spirit covenants while you even look like an ordinary human? I became embarrassed by my abilities, how can I lose to ordinary humans even though I have been at the 2nd stage of self-formation, making me ashamed".
"There are how many levels of silat ascetics? Please explain it to me."
"Before he started his training, he was at the level of an ordinary soul. The first stage is self-purification, after that soul purification, self-formation 1-7, soul formation 1-10, soul control, then the highest is purity. When you are at the level of holiness, you must be adored by humans. But, at this time that reached the level of purity of only a few, even can be counted fingers, arguably 1 out of billions of people. When you are in the soul control stage, you can control a spirit like me without any agreement, even you can control the soul of someone whose body is still alive. To reach one level, usually someone takes 1 year, but if it has entered the soul formation stage, the improvement runs according to the quality of training. You can directly ascend to the soul purification stage when you enter this lake, but this is extremely torturous, you will feel that your body is melting as the water turns into boiling blood, you will feel like it is melting, but if you remain conscious and persist until your body is re-formed, that is when you reach the stage of soul purification. Usually those who have melted are not able to survive consciously until the body is formed again, so they die right then and there. How do you chase time when I'm only 10 years old, look at your body, you're just a weak, unenergized 14-year-old girl."
"Let's start practicing" Mayla said as she developed her smile.

5 Years later........
"How do I look?" said a man to a spirit.
"Look like a beautiful man, master", said the spirit as he held up his thumb.
"Let's go back."
"Cover up your aura first, it'll be too flashy."
"Based on Emily, I forgot, huhh!"
