ARMY, DEAD (EPS. 3)
24. Proof of Confidence
Bruck...
He was unconscious, surrounded by some people who just kept staring at him without doing anything. They watched the whole body of a helpless man before him. From the legs, there were some blood spots from the wounds of his battle against nature.
The person they are waiting for has finally come, not only waiting for help, but they also need a decision.
"What should we do?"
Someone of them was angry. What they thought seemed to have started to show horror.
"We're taking him."
Without being commanded twice, some of them instantly slashed down several small tree trunks the size of an adult's arm by about two meters in length. Then using the rope as they also get from nature, deftly directly arrange the collected wooden trunk into a simple stretcher to bring the unconscious person. When they finished, they picked up and took him. An object fell down just as they picked up the person they found on the edge of a small settlement in the middle of the forest. The slightly flat and pointed object that fell was not noticed by anyone, but one of them took it and kept it.
What he had in front of him was never expected, especially Arda. Now it is answered that the reason for Arda's movements are sometimes suspicious. Anita is still faithful in the shadow of darkness while waiting for the opportunity of the battle that he witnessed in a moment. The scene he will see is more thrilling than just seeing a horror movie on the big screen. Anita will continue to be patient and observe the situation waiting for them to let their guard down.
Walking behind the darkness. Wooden beams as small as hands are in the grasp, in anticipation of any threat. The eyes keep looking forward, to the left and right, and occasionally to the back. A fast heart rate but breath restrained indicates he is alert or even under pressure, the pressure of fear.
Tracing the dark alley after previously being able to get out of a comfortable place, is not a good choice, but there is nothing wrong in trying for the sake of freedom. The path he chose was not the only one but his instincts told him that this was where he had to step.
As the foot stepped, an echoing sound slowly began to sound, the voice coming from the end of the hallway he was walking through. The vibration of a large object falling into the wall of the room felt up to the palm of the hand that was in rhythm following his steps tracing what was uncertain. Again, for the sake of hope, anything will pass.
His steps were getting closer to the connecting door to one of the rooms. The noise inside had stopped, as well as his steps. On the other side in the same dark. The faint black shadow looked slowly retreating. One hand with wood in the hand is ready as it is alert to threats. Without a second thought, Vika held high weapons that are currently a mainstay. The black shadow was strangled backwards accompanied by the sound of a stifled scream.
The alertness turned into curiosity.
"Anita."
Vika said softly making sure that the voice from the shadow in the darkness was indeed the person she knew.
"Vika's."
Anita said she was happy and did not expect reinforcements to come even if it only added a fraction of a percent of the accumulated plans she had put together. Not in the right moment, they hugged. But just a moment, at least enough to add a little courage and hope.
In a crowded room, two otangs were lying on the floor in wet clothes. They've been unconscious ever since Danu started enjoying the party. Fresh blood seemed to still flow from the hole made in the neck to the two people, the same blood soaked all over their bodies.
The horrific scene was slightly missed by Anita who had previously received threats from her own best friend. Lucky the sound of his screech did not disturb the excitement of the main scene.
The grin of his typical temperament never goes away when enjoying the taste of the people he just finished off.
The heart began to beat very fast when the gaze of one of the victims of Danu's ferocity rightly led to the two of them.
A blank look, the body floundering from the remaining energy slowly disappeared.
Respati and Arda along with two other people began to untie each other's robes, then stripped them to the floor. There was only one person still standing quietly behind his cloak. Danu's special temperament changes. Danu does so only when he is serious about facing opponents he sees as strong.
"It seems like there's no other choice but to fight to the death."
Now, it was Danu's turn to take off her shabby hooded robe. The robe he was wearing while hiding was watching Respati and Arda from a small hut in the middle of the forest, a place where he left someone before going off to start a war. Danu's high-strength body looks faint, revealing trained muscles like a troop.
Danu walked for a moment, then stopped turning his back to the only way out of the room. Apparently Danu wanted to confirm something before he killed them all. The dagger was ready on the grip to his two hands.
"Hurry, take Aini away."
Anita and Vika are strangled. Since then, Danu knew of the whereabouts of the two of them. The shock and fear of being one, but this was the only chance they had.
Anita and Vika come out of her hiding place. Anita walked slowly over to Aini who was lying not far from where Danu was standing. Vika remained vigilant with a piece of wood still in his grasp, his eyes alternately watching Danu who was still in the same position and did not react to Anita and Vika who passed him from behind.
One of the daggers in Danu's grasp darted, piercing through the arm of one of them who moved to banish Anita and Vika.
"Aarrhggghh..."
"Your mouths are just the same cave."
Vika and Anita flinch, they quickly get Aini out of there, before something bad happens.
"Go, right now the cave has nothing to do with you."
Danu advised people who used to be his best friend, perhaps as a message of farewell or a threat in the future.
"It looks like we should be able to take advantage of this little time left to kill you."
"Yes, the benefits of the time you make a cave face before you die, maybe if we meet later in hell, you can take revenge again."

"Where is this?"
Dimas realized after previously running out of energy in order to get out of there immediately, but he also certainly had to return there with reinforcements.
"You're already conscious."
A person smiles, with old face and white hair aging but still charismatic.
