Diary From The Past
Chapter 8. The rise of the Gosta

The gray sky that adorns Jakarta makes Mahesa feel restless.

He hurriedly called Alea.

Even though the god knew that his deeds were in vain.

Alea is not in this dimension.

He can feel it.

The god ignored the telepathic calls that kept coming from Royal Universal, the hospital where he worked.

Today in fact Mahesa had to attend an important meeting related to the surge of patients with special needs.

The hospital did not have the required cure. Therefore, the doctors were asked to gather to discuss the actions they should take.

"Lea.....".

Mahesa's mind was not calm.

He knew that the appearance of the gray sky was not a good sign. He has lived in the sky for a long time. Moreover, the Nimbostratus Valley, where the gods release negative energies, is a favorite place to keep quiet.

He was well aware that the gray cloud was a representation of the gathering of negative energies that might be being released by the gods of the seven-dimensional world.

"Have they just finished fighting? But against whom?".

Mahesa, who is now disguised on earth as a doctor, turns back her black SUV. He immediately activated his car's GPS in order to get to Nazaxenna's house as quickly as possible.

The former Celestial Emperor decided to stay in the city where Alea and Mahesa lived. He deliberately chose Jakarta as his place of activity. Nazaxenna bought a European colonial-style property in the middle of the city. The god loved the energy stored in the former freedom fighter's house. He redesigned the old unkempt courtyard into traditional English-style flower gardens.

The arrival of Mahesa in front of the gate had made the giant pillars of the house of Nazaxenna react. The pillars are actually a camouflage of two large eagles that become the new pet of the former Celestial Emperor.

Both birds are tasked with securing the house from the interference of the surrounding creatures who are interested in the energy of Nazaxenna.

Of course Nazaxenna deliberately hid his identity and also the appearance of his energy. But the white house has become a warm conversation of the subtle creatures. They were tempted by the scent and the amount of light emanating from Nazaxenna's new home.

"Calm down, he's my guest" replied Nazaxenna who was sitting sweetly on the porch.

The two garuda bird which by ordinary humans only seen as a pillar of the ordinary house lowered its wings.

They opened the gate very carefully.

Behind Mahesa was already crammed with delicate creatures who wanted to sneak in. They were indeed tempted by the scent emanating from the residence of Nazaxenna.

"Hi.." said Nazaxenna kindly. He leaned his body towards the porch barrier. The handsome god welcomed Mahesa's arrival while sipping a cup of his favorite houjicha latte.

"Your Majesty Nazaxenna." said Mahesa in tribute.

"Let's go into my reading room." take Nazaxenna cheerfully. He signaled for Mahesa to jump onto the second floor.

The Nazaxenna protege nodded. He jumped on the porch like a bird.

Mahesa had changed shape to the god Pushan. It is impossible to do this without transforming into a god. It was already a celestial provision that gods disguised in human form should not practice divine power.

Mahesa is an exception. His high level and destiny as the successor to the throne of the Celestial Emperor made the god obtain a dispensation.

"Your Majesty...".

"I know what you want to ask." Nazaxenna smiled as she entered her reading room filled with magical power.

Mahesa.

He followed Nazaxenna from behind. Its sharp ears capture thousands of bell-clinking sounds and the rapidity of people reading literature in thousands of languages.

Mahesa finally arrived at Nazaxenna's favorite reading room.

The room is filled with thousands of books from various fields of science. This is the first time Mahesa has visited the reading room of the former Celestial Emperor. He was fascinated by the diverse Nazaxenna collection.

Furthermore, Mahesa was actually amazed by the arrangement of books sorted by the relation of events. With just a glance, Mahesa knew that there would be some events that would soon shake the earth.

Environmental damage.

Earth balance.

Seismic movement.

Nature's contemplation.

Thus the dominance of the title of the book that adorns the nearest shelf of the Nazaxenna study table.

"Investigate me?" that god-god tease while smiling sweetly.

Mahesa.

He almost forgot that Nazaxenna still had the ability to read the minds of all beings in the universe.

"I had to read a lot, to better understand the human mind of the earth....".

Her bright fingers picked up a book called The Silent Spring.

"It's an old book, but it's interesting.." the laugh was crisp.

"Your Majesty...." Mahesa ventured to cut off Nazaxenna's talk of pleasantries.

"I knew... Alea right?".

Mahesa pursed her lips.

The god fixed his glasses. He did not want to drag on in useless talk.

Nazaxenna laughed. The nature of Mahesa is too similar to Kundali, his friend who now succeeds the throne of the Celestial Emperor.

"So the appearance of the Gostas at Royal Universal doesn't interest you?".

Nazaxenna's question raised Mahesa's eyebrows.

Why did the god discuss the surge of strange patients in his place of work? Is there a connection between Alea's disappearance from this dimension and the rise of the Gostas?

During this one month, the Royal Universal Hospital received the arrival of the ethereal beings whose bodies had already undergone mutilation. Surprisingly, the doctors found a connection on each piece

the body disappeared.

The body of the creature seems to have undergone modification. They suspect there is a force that is conducting evil experiments with subtle creatures as victims.

The beings whose bodies undergo mutilation but are reconnected with body parts from these different substances are called Gosta.

Gosta refers to the custom of a great Scandinavian witch in the late iron age who often mutilated victims for her inner satisfaction. The witch's name is Gosta Cola. Legend has it that Gosta Cola had the ambition to become an accomplice of the god of the heavens. He wants eternal life.

He named himself Gosta, which in old Scandinavian means servant of God, and Cola which refers to darkness.

Yes, the witch established herself as a servant of the Dark Lord.

He worshiped a God who was not on the side of a world filled with love and peace.

Gosta created his own world. He is joined into the fellowship of users, witches who use their power to predict and change the future.

In other words, he was a seithmenn, a male witch who practiced magic.

Mahesa had heard stories of witches. As she recalled, the witches came from a remote village in northern Scandinavia. Their envoys are said to have tried to break through the defenses of Dragon Lung. They sent thousands of underground dragons to besiege Dragon Lung, the gatekeeper of the seven-dimensional world.

Mahesa heard the story herself from Naga Lung who was her nanny since she was a child.

"Do you think Gosta's sudden appearance?".

Nazaxenna shrugged both of her shoulders.

"about?".

"Then Alea?" mahesa.

"about?".

Mahesa immediately calmed down in front of Nazaxenna.

"Please... Your Majesty knows I can't think clearly if it's about Alea".

"Yes, yeah, I know. Therefore, we have not been able to appoint you as the successor to the throne. You still have to learn a lot of my little gods".

Nazaxenna thrust a cup of houjicha latte into Mahesa's face.

"Let's get up.you need this drink to think".

The god helped Mahesa stand up. He forced Mahesa to drink a mixture of Japanese green tea with hot milk.

Mahesa. Every drop of houjicha latte answered his every curiosity.

The houjicha latte droplets contain the memory and knowledge required by Mahesa.

Nazaxenna blinked her eyes.

The former Celestial Emperor was indeed famous for his carefree nature and was also happy to be teased. He is the antithesis of Kundali who is cold-faced and also firm.

"Your Majesty....".

"Yes, as you can see....".

"But isn't? Why do we have to repeat it again? Aren't Alea and I supposed to be happy?".

"Yes if you are happy ending immediately.Your story is finished dong" seduced Nazaxenna.

Mahesa scrunched her forehead.

For several months he thought that Kundali would finally let him and Alea live like a normal couple. Since their return from early civilization, Mahesa has enjoyed her days as Alea's lover. Earth man who works as a doctor in a camouflage hospital belongs to the sky. Not a second did he allow himself to drag on in the work. He no longer wanted to lose a moment with Alea.

However, his guess was wrong. As a god disguised as a human, apparently he is unlikely to live a life like humans in general.

"You must believe that Alea can.." advised Nazaxenna.

Mahesa.

He regretted letting Alea go this morning.

The girl disappeared from his sight. I don't know how long.

"In the meantime, take care of the Gostas, so that you can find out who caused this mess. Ask her permission so you can return to the world of transition".

Mahesa bowed lethargic.

He misses Aleanya.

"Why should he?" ask Mahesa again.

"That young man? Yes he is your rival.." seduced Nazaxenna satisfied.

"Your Majesty....". Mahesa whining. He hoped this time his whining would be heard. He also imitated Alea's face while seducing Nazaxenna.

The god pushed Mahesa's body backwards. Just this time he protested with his protege.

"You don't pantes put on that cute face...". Nazaxenna. He looks amused by Mahesa.

"Ah, forgive me Your Majesty" Mahesa said.

He returned languid.

Just imagine, he would have to solve a number of puzzles in order to bring Alea back to his side.

"Basar Raseyan is insolent! I should have just let him die in that cave" he grumbled.

Mahesa regretted her stupid actions. Inexplicably he just agreed Kundali's instructions to lock the door of the fort Sundayana for good.

It was there that he found Raseyan dying. The tears of Andulu and Amatya made him full. They asked Mahesa to save the King, or at least let Raseyan die in a more beautiful realm.

Mahesa did not think long. He opens the door to a parallel world and moves Raseyan there.

He believed that Raseyan would no longer interfere with his romance with Alea. After all, there was no reason for her girl to be stranded in a parallel world of the past.

Mahesh fooled Amatya and Andulu, saying that the new world they occupied was Mount Padang which was formed after the movement of the earth in the early Holocene subsided. They will meet new residents but with a simpler mindset. Mahesa deliberately gave the three the ability to communicate with humans from the stone age. The god was also kind enough to find women who he hoped would become Raseyan's wife later on.

He could not believe that Raseyan still held a taste in Alea.

"What has he done to steal my Ale again from the future? Besides why the hell is he still after my Ale? I've already told a lot of women there. "the murmur is full of emotion.

Nazaxenna chimed in on Mahesa's mind.

"Why do you like Alea?".

"B..a........." Mahesa was at a loss for words. He forgot that Nazaxenna could hear his heart.

"It's back there. Or I'll report to Kundali that you're lounging on earth" threatened Nazaxenna with a sweet smile.

Mahesa knew the horror behind Nazaxenna's sweet smile.

All this time he never told Alea why the goddesses in the seven-dimensional world no one was interested in the figure of Nazaxenna. Even Thera, the prettiest goddess in the seven-dimensional world alone had no desire to become the companion of the former Celestial Emperor.

Nazaxenna was actually a figure of a war god. He is an excellent hunter. He hid all his abilities behind the two faces that he often displayed to the inhabitants of the sky. First, a face that resembled a wise elder. This was the face Alea saw as she ventured first into the seven-dimensional world. He often uses this face when meeting with residents of different dimensions.

The second face was a sweet young man whom he was currently showing Alea. The real face of Nazaxenna was what made Alea complacent. But to Mahesa, Nazaxenna's real face was far more terrifying than his while resembling an old man.

It was a face that no one could read.

Laugh while testing.

Smiling while punishing.

No wonder before he was appointed the Celestial Emperor, he was famous as The Smiling General.

It was Nazaxenna, the general who killed the dissidents of the seven-dimensional world with his immeasurable power.

Mahesa resigned.

He was worried that Nazaxenna would actually influence Kundali's assessment of him.

Now he must hurry back to the Royal Universal and find the culprit behind the sudden surge of Gosta on earth!
