A Thousand Stories: The vortex of destiny

"What happened?!"

Zara and Aksara were shocked to notice the changes happening around them. The grass that was green turned yellow. The flowers that grew and bloomed instantly withered and blackened. Other plants around them wither and dry up. The sky blackened with a flash of blackish-red lightning struck all directions. Black clouds gathered on the side of the valley door. The black cloud is so thick. Continuously wriggling until it filled every space of the sky in the valley.

"Clearned!" eren's raucous voice made the girl's shoulders slightly raised.

"This is the true shape of the valley side behind this stone door." Laras replied as soon as he released millions of dark-eyed souls that soared into his sky like thousands of puffs of cigarette smoke soaring into the air. Every puff of smoke touched his part of the sky, there was a rumbling sound that was mutual.

"Where is possible!" sergeant Zara.

"Sorry!" laras. "It disappointed you!"

There is too much darkness that this lake water receives. The forgetful lake water. Every soul that goes behind the stone door will find two things:

First: the incoming soul will be awaited by the figure of an old grandfather using a boat with his old sail. Delivering the soul to the lake without edge until finally the soul disappears by itself.

Second: the incoming soul will pass through a floating wooden bridge that can drown it at any time. If it makes it through the floating wood, the soul will again meet a picker. Otherwise, his soul would be stranded forever in the dark water of the forgetful lake called the valley of the rainbow lake.

Rainbow lake valley is a place that looks scary because it buries millions of internal wounds, torture, feelings of envy, envy, and other feelings that can bring every human soul plunged into darkness.

"Did you always drive every soul here?!"

"Every soul chooses this path." Laras replies seeing millions of smoke-like puffs of cigarette smoke soaring into his sky. "Just like the Scriptures that carry each soul to the final journey of the soul it picks up, that is how each soul meets the end of their journey."

"Either it ends to be reborn. Occupy a place called heaven or hell! Or it could also be part of one valley with all its legal provisions." Eren added.

Laras lowered his gaze. He looked at Eren and his shadow guarded by Aksara and Zara. Barrel approached his shadow. Slowly he saw Rein's true form, which had been bound by a promise with its own shadow.

"What are you going to do with this shadow of yours!"

"Throw it into the valley of tribulation!" barrel Eyes are blue-golden. Ready to pull his shadow with a flash of reddish purple lightning. Directing that shadow on the other side of the rainbow lake valley.

"Don't think you can do it!" the shadow before him. The figure immediately displayed the soul and body of Rein who felt tormented by the circumstances he experienced.

"Don't do this to me!" isak Rein surprised everyone there except Laras. "I still want to live! I don't want to die!!" he added with tears.

But Laras looked at him indifferently. Letting the figure sit for a while before finally, Laras threw the body away from the positions of Eren, Aksara, and Zara.

"I shouldn't have let you do all this!" said Cold laras.

"Clearned!! You can hurt me!! You can hurt me who helped you!" rein's voice was shaking. But not trembling with fear, but with anger. Anger that fostered from all the hatred he harbored for Laras.

"I have no other choice!" answer Laras. His figure is back to being his true self. While the black shadow that enveloped Laras gathered behind his back and formed a wing that was the same as the wings that belonged to another figure Eren.

The shadow in front of Laras grew furious. With his voice echoing using Rein's body, the shadow shouted and directed the attack from the rest of the reddish-black lightning towards Laras. Shouting a deafening shrill voice and shaking the entire valley.

Eren and the others immediately followed towards Laras and his shadow. But Laras has given a barrier to them to be able to approach the area that became their arena of discord.

"Why did he do such a stupid thing!!" exclaiming Zara who felt that she could only be a spectator behind the barrier she created.

While Eren and Aksara just kept silent to see how Laras and his shadow that along with the soul and body Rein was facing each other.

"This is the realm of women!" gumam Aksara's.

"This is a form of fighting with yourself!" eren said after regaining his form as the figure of the highest guard with a circle of 7 bluish fireballs that form a chain on the back of his back. Leisurely the chain-shaped ring of fireballs infiltrated into the barrier without being noticed by anyone. Seeing may be a great threat for Laras to face his shadow, but the existence of human body and soul on the side of this valley will have a great influence on the destiny of life that is running in the world.

Eren immediately burst into the barrier, as soon as a flash of lightning struck blindly from the direction of the sky. The sky with the movement of clouds so thick and unguided. Just as when his soul sank into the valley of tribulation for the first time due to the changing turmoil of human destiny, the same state enveloped the side of the valley. When such a thing enveloped the side of the valley, it was either as bad as what might happen as it involved the ambiguous figure of the human world and the valley of death.

The whirlpool opens under the feet of the Baras and the shadow. It sucks every soul sealed in water sucked into it. Leave screams and screams of fear, sadness, and other screams that sound very heartbreaking. Barrel hair fluttered by the tightness of the wind that blows.

A tornado swept across every side of the valley, forcing Laras and Eren to throw Aksara out and Zara back behind the closed valley door.

The barrel and its shadow looked up into the sky. Eren too. However, Rein's body and soul were strongly attracted towards the greenish-black whirlpool that was so dense. His echoing cry managed to make Laras plunge to immediately help the body figure. The body that was slowly eroded by the darkness that emerged from the whirlpool of the lake. The more you see the face of pain on Rein's face, the more you strengthen the pace to be able to immediately grab the girl's hand. Without noticing what was about to hit him in the fall, Laras performed a sharp maneuver.

A strong tornado wind blew, crashing and being dragged into the whirlpool. Attracting every soul around him including the shadow of himself and the other figure of the guard. Barrel was unable to control the shock arising within him. His hand slipped from his hold on Rein and made the body and soul of the girl also sucked into the whirlpool.

Laras tried to get back. Ignoring Eren's condition as the guardian, Laras tries to help Rein and his human body to bring him out from the valley side. Exerting all the barriers he had, Laras locked the body into the barrier. Throwing it towards the closed valley door, it then caught up with another Eren figure at the end of the whirlwind. Continue to enter into the whirlpool that collides with the whirlpool below. Looking for the figure of Eren laun who has been covered by dark souls who were carried away by the whirlpool of the lake with a deep greenish black color.

Laras' hand grabbed the rest of the palm from the guard. Trying to pull out the figure of the guard from the clump of souls dark lake water. Several times the hand was almost released, until finally Laras realized that Eren was not not trying. Eren only accepted what might happen after his self-sacrifice at the whirlpool.

Not letting go of his hand grip on the figure of the guard's hand, Laras allowed the body to oscillate in the whirlpool and the indistinct gust of tornado wind. Letting all the dark colors envelop him. Then replaced with a puddle of water that is so calm shades of greenish.

The two bodies are now vacillating unconscious at the depth of greenish water that somehow. Many human bodies are tied to chains or rope and seem to float around the two. The bodies were tossed along following the very calm ripples of water.
