Ash-boss
A Thousand Faces: The Curse!

1,000 years later.

He drowned from the small boat he used to cross the lake. His hands waved for help but no one was around to help him.

His movements in the water that had been so strong began to weaken. Slowly the wave of the hand began to sink and bring the young man's body deeper and swallowed the calm of the lake water.

While the young man slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, another figure appeared above the young man's sampan. The figure of the girl using a black knee-length dress, standing with a gamang for the scenery she saw.

The pain instantly grabbed the recesses of his heart slowly. He suddenly had to hold his left chest to stop another pain from spreading into his body.

"What else is this!!" hiss the girl.

I am no longer a human being who is undergoing the curse of the universe! But why do I still feel this kind of pain!

The figure of the girl who was also wearing the maroon-red robe, slowly opened the hood that covered her head. Adjusting his breath to win back himself who is in pain for whatever reason.

After a few moments that felt so torturous for him, the girl's figure lowered her head to look towards the depths of the lake where the young man's body had started to sink down to the bottom of the lake. The distinct shadowy thud flashed for a moment from his memory. Where his own body also oscillates at the bottom of the waters of a lake that looks so soothing.

“Suffering.” murmured the girl started to stand up slowly. He immediately shook off his cursory memory and then casually the figure of the girl greeted the young man's soul figure on his small sampan.

“Hai. We meet again..” greet the young man casually. It was as if he was indeed aware of his death and all that was happening in his life.

"Yes! We meet again!" replied the girl smiling.

“When will my punishment end??” lamented the young man seemed very familiar with the figure of the girl in front of him.

In the eyes of the girl, the figure of this young man always gave her a strange impression. In addition to understanding and knowing when his death will come, he also always smiled at the girl three days before the day of his death arrived.

As a pick-up and introduction, it is his duty to visit his potential victims three days before the day of pick-up.

“Come.” replied the girl casually.

“I'm tired of ending up in the same place.”

“Who told you to just hit it.” the girl replied jutek. The answer came out lightly as if he knew the reason behind the word 'punishment' that the young man had said before him.

Completely upset to hear the complaint of the young man whose face now seemed a little naughty to hear the answer coming out of his mouth, the girl flicked her cloak and changed the place where they were standing now.

Should be as an introduction, the girl will deliver the soul she picked up to the streets according to the death book records of the young man. But to this young man before him, the book of death seemed to be dysfunctional. They seemed to go to a place that continued to make the girl feel something strange on her journey.

What they were standing on a small sampan owned by the young man, now they have moved places by standing on the old pier in the middle of the lake with the water that looks a little murky.

Looking around the lake water, the girl again felt the pain running through her body. Turning his gaze to the interior of the rain at the end of the pier, his figure again found the road that he had been through with the soul of the old figure he had delivered.

The path connected to a gate of death was so dark. The gate looked old and was made of wood that was thousands of years old. The blackish door handle that has begun to fall off. But what makes the place even scarier is what lies behind it.

Once he delivered the old figure after three lives, the old figure still returned to the same streets. The road they walked was actually very beautiful. Along the path there is a forest with every tree that rises up to the sky. Purple lavender flowers lined up along the path as if to signal the direction of the road they had to pass.

He stared at the gate at the end of the road. This was already the third time for the old figure. In contrast to the look of the old figure on the first and second journey, the figure this time already looked older with his grayish white hair. Brown framed glasses with a look that is still just as dashing.

"Did I destroy three generations of several families!"

Whether it was an answer or a question, the old figure sighed slowly. It was as if preparing for something that was waiting for him at the end of the journey.

Screams of fear and moans of pain echoed from behind the wooden gate that began to slowly open. Eve came out so hard. Darkness and the smell of frankincense incited the girl's nose. Three executioners then went out and blocked the girl's view to look behind the gate that had opened wide.

"Just get him here!" said the frontal executioner who became the leader of two other executioners. From behind the brown hood of his robe, the figure smashed into the body of the girl violently.

The girl immediately dodged by changing her angle of view and her body was facing a different side.

Silent with the position, he could only glance for a moment to watch the figure enter the gate with escorted by three executioners who looked so big and creepy.

Screams of horror instantly rang in the ear of the girl along with the disappearance of the old figure with the three executioners. The gate closed and disappeared slowly from his sight. Make the atmosphere of the forest that was once scary, back into a forest that is so soothing.

“What kind of road I might go through again.” asked the young man to wake the girl from his memory of the road that is now presented at the end of this pier.

"Come away!" replied the girl glares at the gravel path.

Realizing the flowers around the gravel stone path seemed different from the flowers that grew when he delivered the old figure, the girl turned to look at the young man who was also looking at her so softly and deeply.

The young man's eyes seemed to imply many things. The gaze of the eyes made the girl again swallowed by the pain that directly hit her heart feathers many times. Makes him fall mired with a bad breath. Shadow after shadow of life flashed across the girl. Making him question many things related to the young man who was now crouching before him.

"Who!!" ask the girl grimacing.

Not immediately answering, the young man simply patted the girl's head gently.

"Is that the path you chose?" abugn.

Dark Eve then overflows from the entire body of the girl. Making his figure shrouded in gripping darkness. A blackish-red lightning grabbed every inch of his skin. It should be painful, but slowly the lightning flash was able to resuscitate the girl from the darkness that slowly eroded the consciousness of her soul.

"I wish I could replace you to accept every pain!" the young man let his hand get struck by the blackish-red lightning several times. Feel pain that radiates throughout the body in a deadly way.

Realizing the young man was struck by lightning coming out of the black air around his body, the girl pushed the young man's body, rose from her position and absorbed the darkness around the lake to stop the pain that haunted him.

The young man who was shocked by that immediately stared at the actions of the girl. Throwing a small flash that splashed under his hand and let the girl's body fall into his arms.

"Why do you have to endure the curse!"

In an atmosphere so quiet and serene after all the pain that the girl and the young man had experienced, another figure appeared as fast as a flash of lightning before them. Shaking the calmness of the lake water with the flapping of its black wings.

"You guys?!"
