CHAPTER I CHAPTER 7: The Bright Red Flower Girl


Red as if burning fire..


Blue is like the sparkle of the sea..


Although mixed and dominating each other, still the sky that fades at dusk always gives its beauty.


But..


On this real, unreal island I really did not expect, if the sky was more dominated by the color red, like describing despair.


Even at dusk, the sky here does not show its beauty, the clouds up there like they are suffering, the sun that sinks from the west seems fake, sea water that reflects the glow of twilight more like a dead sea.


All the natural elements created on this mirage island really depict the look of despair.


**


The Tsukiyama bloodline was endowed with a wide range of GIVEN abilities.


Since the first lineage was born, it may have been hundreds or perhaps thousands of GIVEN that flowed down the line of the Tsukiyama family.


For example only..


Tsukiyama Hana Vermilla..


Hana Vermillia, Hana means flower, while Vermillia comes from the word Vermillion which means bright red. When put together, Hana Vermillia has meaning as a bright red flower.


“What is my name not too long ? My friends are sometimes confused to call me Hana, Lia, or Via.” a girl with a short bluish shoulder-length haircut seems to be leaning on her mother's lap.


“Tsukiyama is the father's clan, while Vermillia is the mother's clan. All members of the father's family have the same naming method, putting the family clan of the father at the beginning, and the mother's clan at the end.”returned the mother while stroking the soft hair of her son.


“But my name became very long, sometimes I also to the hassles of writing it.”return the child with a slightly irritated look on his face.


“Hana..”


The mother threw a small smile while patting the child's hair softly which was later known as Hana.


“When the elephant dies, it will leave its tusks, then when the Tiger dies it will also leave its trunk.”


“When man dies, he will leave his name.”clear the mother to the little girl named Hana.


“I do not understand.”reply Hana with a plain look, she did not understand the meaning of the mother's words.


“As an adult, man will go through life and carve his name in the lives of others, depending on what life Hana will live, and how far Hana's name will live in the hearts of people. Everything Hana herself determines.”clear the mother to Hana.


“Then, Hana will make the mother and father clan remembered by many people, so that Hana does not feel any more hassles if she has to write it.”


“If the mother and father surnames have been remembered by many people, then they only need to add the name Hana between the surname of father and mother, that way everyone will easily write it.”balas Hana to the mother


“The price of the father is behind the name Hana, and the mother clan is at the end, then the name Hana will be in the middle of the clan of father and mother, so Hana will not feel lonely, so Hana will not feel lonely, Hana will always be between father and mother forever.”


“As with any life that Hana will live as an adult, father and mother will always be with Hana.”ucapnya while hugging tightly the mother.


**


Tsukiyama Hana Vermillia, today I don't know how many times she attends a family meeting that is regularly held on the 11th month of every year.


Since he was a child, his father and mother always said if this meeting is a form of family unity, the father has done it for generations, as well as his grandfather and so on. They also told Hana that later this tradition must also be inherited in the child she was born with.


Currently, he is 10 years old. As Hana said before, I don't know how many times she has attended this family meeting. One thing that is always remembered, this meeting is always held in November every year.


The father said that this meeting was a form of family unity. But Hana seemed to have absolutely no sense of unity in this family gathering.


Not at all..


Maybe hundreds, if seen as far as the eye can see, this place is very crowded by people in black suits and elegant luxury dresses.


In hindsight, this should have been. Reflect on the father who is an eco-friendly fuel entrepreneur who is highly respected by the people in the region where he lives.


So no wonder that the people who are in this place are not random people.


‘Ah, maybe I can find other children my age and make friends with them.’think Hana at that time.


Hana stepped slowly past the crowd of people present at the meeting. His steps are a little slow because he is not too used to using shoes that have a distance with the surface of the ground.


He lifted a little bit of his black skirt so as not to be stepped on by the crowd of people he passed, sometimes he looked ahead while splitting the crowd.


Although she had calculated her footsteps very carefully, Hana still held doubts in her heart as she stepped, which in the end made Hana always look down when walking among people.


As a girl born into a family, Hana Vermillia has her own manners and personality class. Sometimes her personality class teacher scolded Hana because she could not get rid of the habit of looking down while walking.


Although Hana always repeats her habits, but she believes that in fact one's personality is basically shaped by oneself, and will not be easy to change just by taking classes in manners and personality.


“Yosh... managed to penetrate the crowd safely.”ucap Hana smiled satisfied.


“To think, this place only serves wine and alcohol, do they not think of drinks for children yes.”gumam Hana while watching the adult man who was sipping wine nearby.


“His smell is not good.”think Hana, she closed her nose and moved away from the man.


“Tua has arrived, hope all family members take the place that has been provided.”ucap one of the men who served as the opening of the meeting.


3 men who looked old moved slowly towards the large golden-carved chairs that were located on a high stage in front of the audience.


“Eh.. Bothering, I just ran away ah.”gumam Hana while ignoring the crowd.


“Today I proposed 3 names as potential successors who will lead the Tsukiyama family.”ucap one of the elders sitting on the golden-carved chair.


“Tsukiyama Koharu.”


“Tsukiyama Aldera Gardner.”


“Tsukiyama Hana Vermillia.”


The Elders began to convey the name of the candidate who became the choice as successor to the Tsukiyama family.


At first everyone present in the meeting sounded silent, some of them felt not too concerned about the names that had been mentioned and decided to take it for granted, some of the other family members objected.


“Why? What's with those names? My son is much better than the three of them.”


“I don't accept, the Tsukiyama family can't possibly be led by a woman!”


“What do you mean? Women also have the right to lead!”


“This nomination is ridiculous! I don't want to be led by children weaker than me!”


“My family is richer! My son should have gotten that position!”


The commotion began to occur, family members who felt unacceptable with the 3 names of potential successors who had been announced by the elders voiced their disappointment.


As Hana said earlier, this meeting does not reflect family unity at all. They are just competing for the leader seat, betting on who is the richest, the smartest, the strongest, and the most influential in the family line.


No matter how many times this meeting was held, the certainty about the future future future Tsukiyama family leader was never decided.


“Who is it?”


“I've never seen it.”


“What is he family member ?”


The commotion that had previously occurred suddenly quiet, a gray-haired girl who looked foreign suddenly was among them.


The girl gave off a warm aura, but for some people it felt more like warm burning to the surface of the skin.


The girl's sudden presence made the atmosphere of the meeting a little calmer, but the maids and butlers escorting their master in the meeting started to move because they felt a threat.


“Beware sir, the aura coming out of his body feels unnatural.”ucap one of the maids escorting his master.


The elders who were previously in the golden-carved seats that were located facing the crowd suddenly disappeared.


“Where are the elders ?”ask one of the family members present at the meeting.


“Eh? Since when did the elders get off their seats ?”


One of the attendees noticed something unusual, the elders who had previously sat away and were away from the crowd seemed to have stood before the mysterious gray-haired girl present at the meeting.


“You seem to be in a lot of pain huh.”ucap one of the elders while holding the shoulder of the mysterious gray-haired girl.


“Hey...”ucap the gray-haired girl slowly


“What are you all real ?”still with the same tone.


One of the elders seemed to smile for a moment after hearing the question of the mysterious gray-haired girl.


A moment of thick fog burst out and enveloped the meeting place along with the presence of the mysterious girl.


“GIVEN the incredible.”ucap the elders before finally fading swept away by the thick fog.


Hana still does not know what happened to the people at the meeting and the mysterious gray-haired girl, until finally the thick fog created from the given technique of the mysterious girl was seen by her.


“What's that fog ?”thought Hana just after noticing the strangeness of the thick fog that suddenly seemed not far from where she was.


At first he thought there had been a small fire, people should be warned immediately so that the fire does not spread. That's how he thought at the time.


Hana runs by looking ahead, unconsciously she forgets her habit of always looking down when running. He paid no more attention to the blackish skirt that occasionally blocked his footsteps.


He ran quickly to get back to the meeting place while taking off the two shoes that slowed his footsteps.


He did not think anything about manners and personality at that time, which only existed in his mind at that time was.


“Dad..Mom!!”hana shouted so loudly.


Hana was swept away by the thick fog that filled the entire meeting area.


**


*meanwhile, elsewhere, Amane and the people are still trapped on the mirage island created by Lavia Mirage.


“Yosh, then it's time to embark on an escape mission from this island.”ucap Charle is excited.


“Wait a minute.”


“What is just my feeling, or indeed the air here becomes warmer yes.”ucap Charle shortly after feeling the temperature changes that occur on the island.


“Uncle.. Uncle.. Look!”Sheele turned her index finger towards the sky that was enveloped by a dense red mist.


Far from the middle of the sea visible waves that move so fast towards the land.


“There's a close!”shouted Charle.


“Not making sense! This really doesn't make any sense! How can water and fire fuse like that!”the uncle shouted after seeing the unreasonable phenomenon before him.


In front of them were now scattered sea waves mixed with the blazing flames, the height of which probably ranged from 7 meters and almost resembled a tsunami wave.


The uncle swiftly carried the small bodies of Charle and Sheele and prepared to run from the place.


“You can run by yourself right?”asked the uncle to Amane who seemed to be still silent after hurting the fire waves that were heading towards them.


“I'm fine.”balas Amane.


10 Minutes before the waves mixed with the fire swept the land. Amane and the others ran with all their might to avoid the sweep of the waves, they headed for uncertainty.


It was impossible for anyone to survive such a huge wave sweep. Despite running so far, such a huge wave would not forgive anything that blocked his path.


“WAAAA! The wave is getting closer uncle!”charle shouted in panic.


“Sheele, use your Hide ability.”Charle's frantic command on Sheele.


“Hide.”yelling Sheele while concentrating her index finger.


“Eh.”


“Can't.”SHEele's GIVEN isn't working.


“Uncle faster!”shouted Charle while patting hard on uncle's back.”


“Mu-Easy to say if you can run by yourself.”return the uncle with a tone of annoyance and breath gasping.


“The girl was very fast, she ran like a demon only.”ucap the uncle shortly after realizing Amane who had made a good distance with her.


“WAAA! We're going to die!”charle's yelling further panicked the uncle.


The 7-meter-high sea wave was getting closer to them, the land that was swept away by it was almost noiseless. The uncle used the last vestiges of his power to yell out to Amane.


“At least save them.”ucap the uncle on Amane.


“I am no longer strong, leave me.”sheet with breath gasping.


“No! Uncle must come!”charle snapped, trying to hide his tears.


“Hide! Hide out! Why it doesn't work.”Sheele continued to scream with a desperate cry.


“There is no time! Take them!”The uncle's orders to Amane.


Amane swiftly ambushed both the small bodies of Charle and Sheele and carried her running as far away from the waves as possible.


“Uncle!!”Charle and Sheele screamed at the same time as a cry covering their faces.


The wave rushed to the land where the uncle who had given his life.


“Hide! Hide!”Sheele was crying out, blaming herself for not being able to do anything with her GIVEN ability.


The mixed blue and red produced a bright glow, so dazzling that it hurt a little as the lights were absorbed by the eyeball.


A light that hurts, as if to describe the despair that is already in front of the eyes.


“Lavia Mirage !! I will not forgive you!!”charle shouted so loudly.


The wave is now only a few centimeters away from them, Amane's speed was not able to save the situation at that time.


Charle was still shouting curses at Lavia Mirage's actions that had caused her uncle to lose his life, Sheele was still locked in regret for not being able to do anything with her abilities.


And Amane..


He just ran without knowing the direction and purpose..


Until the end..


“GIVEN, Red flower.”


A girl with shoulder-length blue hair created an enormous red-leafed tree, almost 2 times the size of the waves created by Lavia Mirage.


The big tree stood firm and split the wave until it vanished without a trace.


TSUKIYAMA HANA VERMILLIA has entered a mirage island.
