Ares: Never Grow Up
A mystery!

POV: Ares

Me and Riot looked at each other, we looked at each other with confused and astonished gazes.

"Wait, they were friends?" manya curious. Riot nodded his head, then he immediately clasped my hand.

"We moved places before, here can be heard by people." Riot spoke while glancing left and right.

Fuuts.

We moved, now we're in the woods. I don't know which forest this is, I don't know. Only Riot knew which area this was in.

"So! What kind of stories did you hear?!" riot asked enthusiastically while looking me in the eye. He brought his face closer to me while looking at me with sparkling eyes.

"Look, from the story I know .. they just say that Boni and Safa are just strangers who happen to have disagreements, so," I explained to Riot, he nodded his head a few times and then changed his story.

"If I .. this is from the story of the man who kidnapped me. He said that Boni and Safa used to be close friends, they could even be called friends. But because one of them has a greedy nature of power and strength, so there is a dispute" Riot told me. I paused for a moment to digest Riot's words. If I listen again, there seems to be an awkward part.

"Your kidnapper? Didn't he mention whose name was power-hungry?" ask me to make sure. Riot shook his head while smiling.

"Have .. This will not be resolved if we just keep quiet and think. We have to complete the instructions" I said in the end. My eyes looked towards the blue morning sky, with a hint of dark clouds beginning to gather. The smell of wet air is also still smelled, in the heart .. I suspect that today it will rain.

POV: Vani

Trak trarak! The tring!

I'm staying at a house I don't know right now. Well .. I am grateful that he is a good person. I mean, he's not a calculating guy. He let me sleep here, even preparing food for me.

Now I'm helping him to wash the dishes, which we ate earlier. The kid who helped me last night .. She's called Elly. His strength is similar to Ares, which is flying. Maybe now he's still asleep after breakfast, so I'm awake alone here.

Although I'm still sleepy, but I can't sleep. Our conversation last night, made a strong impression on my brain. Even to this day I still think about it.

FLASHBACKS

I was taken flying by Elly, after she invited me to stay at her house. Of course at first I refused, and chose to sit here, waiting until Ares and the others came back. But Elly insisted on taking me home, she said.

"You don't look scared when I take you flying, have you ever felt this way before?" asked Elly when she saw me who was ordinary even though flying over the sky. I smiled clumsily and nodded my head, because Ares had even asked me to fly like a rocket in the air.

"You're right, this ability of yours is similar to my friend's. So I'm used to being taken flying by him" I explained, looking at the dark roofs of the house. Elly just laughed a little then immediately flew lower. Looks like we'll be at his house soon.

"Come in, consider it your own home!" elly said very kindly. I smiled and nodded, although I was a bit hesitant to step inside. As if understanding the look on my face that was a bit doubtful, Elly immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me into her house.

"It's okay! If it's dirty I can still mop it up later!" elly said as she led me towards the sofa. I sat down on the sofa slowly, then stared at Elly who was busy tidying up her things.

"By the way ... The houses here are still a lot intact huh?" ask me while remembering that there are still quite a lot of houses intact. Unlike the city that we have been through, there must be many buildings that are destroyed or even out of shape.

"... Long ago too .. many were destroyed. But now it's been rebuilt" Elly said with a difficult look. After a long time he left the house, he finally finished and sat down in front of me.

"So .. do you want to hear the story?" elly asked with a serious expression. I nodded vigorously, although I was now so sleepy that I wanted to fall asleep, but my heart was so curious that my drowsiness was defeated.

"You must have heard the name Boni, right? Or even you've met him," Elly said with a wry look. I nodded slowly, listening to what he would say next.

"A lot of people think of Boni as a hero, because he saved this city from destruction by Safa.

But I don't think it's like that.

If Boni is the savior of all of us .. why would he lie to us about what 'tittle' is'? If Boni is good, is there any reason he should put a lot of dolls in every corner of this city?

All of his actions did make sense if they were said to be for security. That must be what others think, but I'm not like that. The dolls that he put in every corner of the city, not only serve as road safety.

The doll also serves as Boni's eyes and ears, as everything that the doll is with and sees. Then Boni will also know about what happened in that place.

But most people just take this for granted, and instead say 'he did it for the sake of security, so that there would be no rebellion in this city'. Either they're stupid or something, but this isn't normal.

In the name of justice, Boni undermines the privacy of society. Maybe you don't know because you're a newcomer, but Boni's always been, too" said Elly I cut, I covered her mouth with my right hand. My eyes were looking at her, because I was suspicious of her.

"I came here to agree to hear your story. Not hearing her nonsense incitement," I chilled at Elly. I know this sounds cruel, but I don't want to get involved in the internal conflict of the city's rebellion.

I'm sure Ares and the others agree. We just want to pass by here, as well as what we should be doing.

It does not interfere in the conflict of this city.

"What's? But this is real!" Elly still insisted on inciting me.

"Hahah! Listen to me, we won't get involved in your city's conflict."

TBC.

Don't forget the likes, guys!
