Ash-boss
Curse of the Dusk Stone Ring: Begins

Recognizing the figure of Rui who turned out to be a shadow of himself in the past, Laras accidentally recalled the curse of the Prohibition flower pollen powder that hit him. The curse of his figure as Rui who received his true figure at that time was the curse of removal from the Prohibition flower. But once Laras reabsorbs the shadow figure from his form as the Rui, Laras instead opens the gap of the Prohibition flower curse without him noticing. The curse that kept swaying the feeling he had with the confidence he had as a figure of a valley guard. Forcing Laras to make the hardest choice in the course of fate in his life.

The journey that felt so heavy was felt by Laras this morning when Aksara, Arashi, and Mari also walked along with him to his campus. Although not from the same department, but the four of them turned out to be members of the same campus.

"A tiring day." lamented Laras.

"Do you want me to carry?!" tawar Aksara joking. And the joke was immediately received a sharp glance from Arashi/the figure of Eren as the figure of the highest judge.

"I want dong in a sling." reply Mari ticked Aksara, but the girl's gaze was only glued to the figure of Arashi.

Along the journey where Laras was one step ahead of the three, Laras sighed as soon as he realized the shadows of the three figures behind him greatly explained their true figure.

A winged figure alerting Laras to the wings of the supreme judge while helping him in his first life. Mari's figure that more resembles a human-shaped smoke puff that is increasingly shrinking. Lastly, there was the figure of Arashi that he could not guess with certainty. The shadow of a puff of smoke formed a wing on the side of his shoulder. Marking his figure has the highest position in the world of the valley of death.

Finally, in his umpteenth step, Laras stopped his steps and saw the three figures breaking apart between the Scriptures and Mari. In the middle of the two, there is Arashi who became the victim of a hairpins and blows to his left stomach.

Baras scrunched his forehead. He stared one by one pair of eyes before him. Wishing they did something that could make him get rid of a lot of unclear thoughts towards the three of them.

"Why?" tanya Arashi interrupted Mari and Aksara. "Is anyone bothering you?"

"You guys!" answer Baras as usual.

"Why?" The script ripples between Arashi and the girl.

"Dream you guys are interrupting."

"Include me?" Mari turned her head to look at Laras with a smile that barely reached her eye line.

"Yes." answered Laras.

"Gue doesn't care" said Arashi who lightly embraced Laras' shoulder with a smile. "Because from today, you'll be a part of my life."

"It's so bright." chanted Aksara.

"Too far-fetched" replied Laras who immediately brushed the young man's hand off his shoulder.

Passing by ignoring the figure of the three, Laras immediately choked as the figure of the highest guard of the valley of death floated before him.

"Good boy!" gerutu Laras seemed to be very familiar with the figure before him.

"Because you're in front of me."

"Can it be more tragic?"

The figure of the supreme guard of the valley of death shimmered in the air and was replaced with an Arashi figure that was different from the figure he had just left behind.

"I make sure you remember everything" said the figure then disappeared.

Laras was silent for a moment, until the figure of Arashi again passed with Aksara. Arashi patted Barrel's head slowly and gently. It made the girl feel like she remembered something sweet but was also filled with hatred.

"Who are you?"

Laras only received a wave of hands from the young man's figure. He just passed by leaving Laras in a long silence in front of the fountain of the main courtyard of his campus.

The lunch hour had passed long enough for Laras, but he was reluctant to move from where he was. Sensing a black shadow scouting her from afar, the girl just kept trying to stir up the cup of coffee she ordered in the cafeteria. Stir slowly and regularly. Making time around slows down with the slow rotation of the spoon in that cup. A spoon is lifted and sprinkles one drop of coffee into the cup.

Ting.

Full of emotion, Laras smacked his spoon on the side of the cup. Made the same sound from the "ting" sound that he had with a moment before. His ever-down eyes finally rose slowly, staring firmly, and filled with emotion.

"Do you know who I am?" greet Arashi after seeing those eyes.

"Why do I know you?"

"To get back to feeling what it is to fall in love."

"Is that so?" ask Laras with a flat face.

"My abstainer?" Arashi leaned his body while looking into Laras's fixed eyes. Eyes filled with hatred but also eyes that hide a lot of things for him to find out the meaning behind the gaze of the Baras.

The two focused on staring at each other. Arashi stared curiously - which Laras would never know. While the girl stared flat as if what Arashi did next was not something she needed to worry about.

A single kiss on the forehead carried some shadow like an accelerated cassette round flashed through Laras' mind. The lighthouse tower, steep cliffs, a dim atmosphere, and a black lantern with a blackish-red fire that snatched in the rigors of the waves that broke the coral on the steep cliff.

With a cursory memory that instantly drained almost all of his energy, Laras refrained himself from falling unconscious. At the same time, Laras' body is dragged into a gray parallel world by the shadow figure of the supreme guardian of the valley of death.

"Give me another memory!"

Unable to see clearly who the figure before him was but able to recognize the voice, Baras then took out a spark of light that turned into an old book covered in black as he usually saw in use by the angels of death.

"I've used all my opportunities to drive you" said the voice. "For the next one, it all depends on the destiny you choose in your life."

The body of the Barrel just bounced away. Finding himself still in the same place and time before being drawn into a gray parallel world, Laras finds Arashi speechless with a look of disbelief before him.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll fix it all" said Arashi who flipped his body just like that and pulled Aksara to come with him. Ignoring Mari, the two young men walked towards the back building. Leaving the presence of Mari who turned around and looked at Laras with a dislike look.

"That's it, he's still mine!" he said ketus passing Laras who did not want to bother with the behavior of the shadow creature one.

All stories start with the same fountain. A fountain in the campus courtyard that changes color to a rainbow color every night on a full moon night.

The day when the atmosphere turned dark and only Laras left who was still silent casually in front of the fountain.

"I want to know who I really am!"

The black shadow in front of Laras wriggled to the right and to the left.

"Why?"

"Amarilys is the name given to the villagers. Rui is my own name, and Laras..."

"The owner of the curse of forbidden flower cider powder." replied the shadow.

"No." answered Laras. "You should know better."

Rui circled in the air. Wiggling then went silent forming the shape of a bulb by giving off a yellowish light.

"If the curse of my destiny is started by the pollen of the Prohibition flower..." Barrel looked around. "That means whatever that figure is related to, becomes part of my curse on myself."

"Who?"

"Who else..." Barrels up to the sky. Seeing the light of the full moon that began to shine brightly and decorate the side of the fountain in front of him.
