Curious Spirit Courier
The poor big one

Reino looked at the three magical figures standing in front of him. He still did not understand why Thomas had given this task to him.

"this-this serious? She ..,"

Thomas smiled wryly, he looked at the poor boy. "Unfortunately yes, I can't give it to Ferdian. Conflict of interest."

"So the Great is dead? But who's the killer?" 

Reino still could not believe that the figure standing in front of him was Agung, the son of Ferdian, the son accused of being the vile murderer of one family.

"Someone has slandered him, a person very close to the Ferdian family." Thomas looked pityfully at Agung who was now looking down holding back a circle of tears.

"Don't say anything to Ferdian, the task is much tougher. You can only say it after the time I set." 

Thomas pats Reino on the shoulder, leaves him, followed by Louise. "Let's Louise, there's hard work for us."

Thomas and Louise disappeared behind the thin smog, Reino stared at the still sobbing Agung nanar. 

"Hey, my name is Reino. I'm a friend of your father's, can we go now?" 

Agung raised his face slowly, rubbing his wet eyes. "Papa? Can I see papa, om? I miss."

Reino smiled, "of course, if it's time you'll meet him."

"But papa's dead om can I still see papa?"

Reino's heart was sad to hear, Agung missed his father and he did not understand if he also died. Ferdian differs in nature from Agung, he is still alive and only turned off in the human world. But as a courier of course it is not a big problem just waiting for the right time.

"We're leaving? Do you want anything?" Reino asked ignoring the Supreme question.

"I just want to see papa."

Reino scrambled the majestic hair that was about the same height as him. "Come on good boy, we go for a walk."

Inevitably the Great followed Reino, "so tell me, what kind of a great papa you are!"

Great laughs sadly, "papa, is the best person, the greatest, and the role model of the family."

"Why is that sad?" Reino noticed the change in Agung's expression.

Agung did not immediately reply, "we just calmed down last night, before papa went on duty and .. died."

Reino was speechless, wanting to feel like he told Agung if his father was still alive but, that was impossible.

"What do you regret, he's been quiet there?" Reino provokes the deepest feelings of the Great.

"If time could be turned, I really want to know what my mom said."

"That should be, right?"

Agung shook his head, "no om, all because of Agung's fault. Had Agung not an accident and need a big cost papa mama would not be stuck the same pinjol so. Our family is calm and peaceful."

Reino patted Agung on the shoulder and then pulled him in a hug. "Everybody has their own way of life, don't blame yourself."

They arrived at one place according to the last Great's memory before dying. A house where the murder took place.

"Say what's your last wish other than to meet your father?"

"Capture Andi's killer. He killed them, he attacked me too!"

"OK, we'll do it and after that I'll escort you to the tunnel of death."

Great stared at the cold Reino. His face looks different than before. Pale, piercing eyes full of vengeance, did not look sweet and pitiful anymore.

"Here, cousin! He did it, I hate him! Why did he make a mistake and set me up?!"

Great emotions overflowed more than they should. Reino was surprised not to play because of that significant change.

"Relax, control your emotions! You can become an evil spirit and lose time to reincarnate!"

"He has to pay for everything!" The hatred, resentment, anger that was rising together formed a terrifying black aura.

"Oh no, Great!"

Agung's negative energy increasingly enveloped the teenager's body and the longer it got stronger, giving rise to a violent wind vortex.

Great could no longer control his grief and anger. His body floated slowly, the look of those shady eyes disappeared alternating with those terrifying reddish eyes.

"There's no other way before he turns into an evil spirit!"

His unique ring shone, Reino approached the wind with all his might. He tried to reach the hand of the Great who began to be wrapped in black fog.

"Dragon, control yourself! Remember your goal to meet your father!"

Reino tried to remind Agung, he continued to walk closer. Agung's negative energy began to tear off Reino's clothes, his body like being pierced by thousands of needles. The pressure of the air getting stronger made Reino's struggle to get closer even harder, his breathing began to tighten.

"Relieve, boy! Remember your father!"

Reino managed to grab Agung's hand, but blood flowed from Reino's nose, the wind was spinning very fast, his vision began to blur. His head was under great pressure.

"I can't .. fail!"

Got it!!

Reino exerted his entire special ability, chanting an ancient spell that slowly eroded the black fog on Agung's body. A series of ancient letters surround Agung in two large circles that cross each other. At first the circle is large but slowly shrinks along with the loss of the fog of negative energy.

The wind stopped, Reino was relieved. Sweat flooded his body and he sat in a row, his energy drained a lot.

"Thank God, for a while you're safe. The spell would be a seal until the appointed time. You cannot turn into an evil spirit. Not before meeting your father!"

Great descending slowly traces the earth, his eyes returning to normal. The series of sentences of the spell still glowed golden and disappeared into the body of the teenager.

"Sorry, um." Sorry within.

"Lupain, let's go find your body and find the killer."

Reino decides to leave the house to keep Agung emotionally stable. But they will definitely return after securing the body of the poor teenager.

The dimensional portal took the two to a forest in the last memory of Agung. The dark, damp, cold, foggy forest, both of them walked among the big trunked trees.

"You ran here? How's story? It's a long way from where it was."

"I don't know, when I ran away from that house at the end of the alley or my head was hit by something. After that I don't want anything else. When I woke up here, it was my painstaking escape."

"Who did you see?"

Agung nodded, "the same man who killed Andi's paklek was the same Tina's bulek."

"Two kids and two assistants?" Reino asked again but Agung shook his head slowly.

"I don't know, when I came he just killed two people, I was scared. Trying to help but can't, the power is very strong." Grandpa was silent for a moment, he touched his chest. "Paper's locket!"

"Why is the locket, don't you wear a necklace?"

"He took the locket!"

Reino frowned, for what the assassin took out the treasured necklace belonging to Agung. Isn't that so weird? And again he instead let Agung escape, then deliberately attacked the grand at the end of the alley.

Reino's premonition says this was done by more than two people, someone deliberately framed Agung. But, for what?

"Om's there!" 

Agung disperse Reino's daydreams and immediately follow the teenager's rapid pace. Agung towards the heaps of dry leaves are quite large. An unpleasant smell struck just a few meters from where he stood.

"Who's hoarding my body?" Agung muttered softly, staring at the bluish hand fingers that poked from behind the dry leaves. 

Reino approached, covering his sense of smell with his hands. Slowly the dry leaves are carefully removed. 

"Oh my God, this is terrible!"

The Great's body is no longer intact, wild animals may prey on it. Fatal wounds on the head and some parts with blood rushing through it clearly lured the night predators to get close.  No wonder his body is no longer intact. But who covered Agung's body with dry leaves?

"Do you remember who did this?" 

Agung who stared at his body slowly shook his head. "I just remember the time the blindfold opened the man wasted no time hitting and knocking the machete."

Great crying, he really did not expect his fate would end tragically. "What's my fault, why would he kill me like an animal!"

The roaring Great Cry echoed throughout the entire forest. Agung is just an ordinary teenager who was in the wrong place and time. He's just the scapegoat of the real heinous incident.
