PROHIBITED SEALS

“What the hell is he? They were so brash,” furious Redena heard Horusca's rant.

“Come go Redena.”

“But teacher-”

The old man swept a glance in front of him before turning away. Highlight his eyes looked pressing, “ayo.” Instantly he disappeared which made Riz flabbergasted. Redena also disappeared in the footsteps of her teacher.

“Still here? We do not need additional members,” quipped Aza Ergo glanced at the amber-eyed man.

The man just smiled thinly. “Suspicious and I don't care either. See you soon Aza. That's also if you're alive,” he said. And slowly, his body faded away like the wind and did not make any more use.

“Who is that guy? The aura is very dangerous,” asked Doxia.

“Just a bastard who often meddles in other people's affairs. If it's around here, it means he's training. We better hurry up tomorrow, so that no one realizes that higher-ups like me are wandering around with fugitives.”

Reve glanced at him, that old “pak, do you know him?”

“No. But his followers seem to come from my people,” explained Aza Ergo to lay down his body.

Horusca still stared silently at Toz. “How is this? Why hasn't Toz woken up yet?” riz asked to touch his hand.

“One's awakening takes a different amount of time. Not knowing what he was facing, all you needed to do was trust and protect him so that no danger approached,” Horusca also touched the ground beside Toz's shoulder. Suddenly, a plant appeared from there that surrounded the fainted young man's body. “Let's rest, I'm tired,” he said lying on the spot.

Riz was silent, he was really worried, even though the corner of his heart tried to be sure with Horusca's words if he had to believe.

A few hours passed. The morning sunlight tried to infiltrate from the lush landscape. This is a light that is always awaited for those who do not like the atmosphere of the night.    

An indistinct burning aroma pierced Riz's nose, trying to resuscitate him when his stomach was hungry. Slowly, his body wriggled and realized two figures were sitting near the camp while burning fish and birds that were not clear where to get from.

“You're up?” greet Osmo. He also put grilled fish on Riz. “Try.”

“T-thank you,” while staring fixed grilled fish in hand. “Oh yes Reve, how is your hand?”

“Alright. Good thing we have elftraz (healer) here.”

“Yes! I am also grateful, at least our life guarantee is more in control,” Aza Ergo timpal suddenly.

“Where have you been?”

“Certainly looking at the situation,” clear Aza Ergo stared exasperatedly at Reve. “Surprising, it looks like those corpses are monsters.”

“What will all be okay?” Osmo bowed worriedly.

“Why Mr?” Riz responded.

“Itu-”

“We have to leave immediately,” cut Aza Ergo.

“Why?”

“There are so many dead. The tower also attracted attention. Like I said, it would be problematic if higher-ups like me were to wander around with fugitives. It would be even worse if that bastard's amber eyes were twitching indistinctly about me.”

Riz was silent, he understood Aza Ergo's intentions. He also glanced at Toz. “But Toz is still unconscious.”

“We will carry it alternately,” explained Aza Ergo then take a grilled fish in front of Reve. He continued, “what about the control of your spell?”

“Means?”

“Can you control your protector well?” ask her to Riz.

“That, I,” while bowed lethargic.

“It looks like you need to learn a lot. As long as you remember the mantra to be read, slowly your protector will strengthen over time.”

“Mantra? I don't even know what to read.”

“Mantra not studied. It appeared on its own in the consciousness because you have signed a contract from one of the abilities,” Aza Ergo also burned the fish he ate once again.

“So? It was only fitting that I could chant a spell I never heard all of a sudden,” Riz muttered.

“Near, are you back?” Reve broke the discussion while glancing at the snake that appeared suddenly among the grass.

“My feeling or is she getting bigger?” Riz looked at her.

“He's just getting fatter. Did you find any delicious food?” Reve stroked the black mamba's neck.

“Ssshh,” the snake opened its mouth.

“Can't he eat a gun? We can bring Toz in his peutu,” Aza Ergo said suddenly.

“What! Toz can die!” sergeant Riz.

“I don't want Near dirt poisoning,” reject Reve.

“Whisper what is this?” doxia murmured suddenly.

Horusca, who had also woken up from her sleep, slowly stepped closer and took a drink. He also ate grilled fish without caring about his surroundings.

“I'm sleepy. Your sleep is noisy,” quip keep chewing.

Riz laughed wryly at hearing that. Another case with Aza Ergo who smiled thinly. “I wonder if the creature is dead or not.”

“Thick your style. Time you don't know?” ledek Reve's.

“That's because I don't feel anything.”

“Saddening. Are you really a bigwig?”

“You want to feel my magmaku?” Aza Ergo grinned.

“You want me to rip your mouth out?”

“Already, t-please be patient Sir,” Osmo mediate. It seemed that the two people got along very well in terms of arguing.

Horusca glanced at the tower. “She's alive.”

“Hah? How can you know?” timpal Rexcel was sitting next to him.

“I can hear it,” Horusca lowered her head at a glance.

“Elftraz (healer) is indeed an expert in this matter huh. Can't you also hear death?” Aza Ergo grinned.

“I always wonder what can elftraz (healer)” Doxia do look laughable.

“It looks like that ability is very great,” praise Riz.

“Yes. Because life will be safe if you are an elftraz (healer)” continued Aza Ergo.

Time passed with their journey continuing. Osmo and Doxia are forced to carry Toz who is still unconscious because their bodies are much larger. Aza Ergo and Horusca lead the way as they better understand the circumstances.

“How much longer will we get to the destination?” ask Riz.

“Two days more, that too if there is no obstacle,” clearly Aza glanced to the right.

Riz nodded in understanding then turned his head towards Reve. “You're really great Reve. When I first met, I thought you were just a weird kid who likes to be lazy.

“You judge someone by his skin? You could die silly.”

Riz laughed softly. “But I'm happy, because you're so great.”

“Because if you guys are weak I can die silly.”

Riz laughed again hearing Reve's sentence. “Thank you, because all this time it has been on the side of Toz,” he said.

Reve was just staring strangely at her chatter. Their steps were suddenly restrained because of Horusca who stopped. “What's up?” ask Rexcel who's the backmost street.

“Trees whisper.”

“Whispering?” Doxia looked in wonder. “The elftraz (healer) is always strange. So, what did he say?”

“They are looking for him.”

“They? Who?” ask Aza Ergo full of questions.

“Killer.”

“Who did this boy say?” Doxia looked confused at Horusca's words.

“Maybe the monster?” ask Riz worriedly.

Aza Ergo stared around. “This place,” he looked at the ceiling.

“What's with this place?” Doxia started to worry.

“Looking at the situation, it is likely that this area of the valley of Hidir,” muttered Rexcel while taking a glance around. This view is not so foreign, because a few years ago, he had passed through here.

“Hose Valley? Isn't it close to the outskirts of the abandoned hydra area?” timpal Osmo suddenly.

“Yes, you're right,” nod Rexcel.

“Oi-oi, isn't this bad? Could we meet the hydra nation here,” Doxia is really anxious.

“You're right, we should hurry up and go. Although the area is uninhabited, but there must be a wandering. Hydra is truly a troublesome nation,” Aza Ergo sighed exasperatedly.

While Reve, he looked to the east where it seemed like something was catching his attention. “Reve? What's up?”

“Nothing,” replied to Riz who was still staring at him.
