Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
3. A Misconception

"Infoillers...?"

A girl looked at us with a look of surprise, but deep in her eyes a light of joy gushed out strongly. "You guys are from inside that station, right? You guys from the outside world? How did you guys get here?" He suddenly approached Brother Novan, grasped the hand and moved it slowly as if to make sure what he saw was real or not.

"Wait exactly where is this..?"

"You are right from the outside world." tears seemed to be faintly pooled in her eyelids before her face finally paled with a thread that faintly seemed wrapped around her neck "no.. no-when I was. I still wanted to meet you guys.." and quickly he ran away giving us no other option to chase after him.

"Hey wait-!"

"Please don't come here! Getaway! Stay away!! That's rule! Here's his order!!" As if he had gotten a terrible reprimand he kept running so fast that a stag suddenly ran with him and he jumped on the deer, leaving us running behind and the exhausted brother Novan.

"Sir Novan!" I cried out in surprise when my brother suddenly fell down, it seemed that he had no more energy. "We better stop for a moment, brother" I said and then began to look around.

"Wheel! Where you going?"

"I want to find fruit! Just wait here!"

"Don't go far!"

"Yes Brother!"

I smiled and along with that he looked happy, did he smile too because I called him brother?

Forests dominated by orange leaves that look very broad and beautiful, trees that have small stems and beautiful stretched everywhere covering some other large green trees. The gentle warm wind blew slowly with the leaves flying dancing in the air, some squirrels seemed to accompany my exploration, blue birds flying here and there with colorful butterflies.

"Are there no apple trees? Cherries or the like yes.." asked Naru who excitedly walked back there. Unexpectedly he immediately jumped up and down towards a field in the middle of the forest there.

A lake spread wide, clear water with fish swimming in it combined with fresh berry bushes around it, mango trees and apples seem to be in that place. "Meet!! Thanks Naru!" I said and then ran towards the mango tree which was short enough with a strong branch that I could climb over the branch.

"Can!" I took one mango and then put it in a basket, under which Naru looked staring worriedly "hihi Naru don't put on such a face!" I took off a mango that intended for him to taste it but he almost fell over the mango. With a shocked expression I apologized "sorry not intentionally wait for where you are going! Don't tell me you're angry! Waitaminute! Naru!! How's this going down?!" I moved a little trying to take a foothold but it seemed that my shoes were slipping.

"Eh—"

"Be careful!!"

I fell into someone's arms, no he's not Kak Novan. Her beautiful blue hair like the night sky seemed to match her star-like eyes, she gently carried me as if there were no burdens. "Are you okay?" He asked carefully while looking at me.

"G-it's okay"

"How can a child like you be in this forest?" He asked, her soft voice looked completely different from when I first met Brother Novan. Without waiting for my answer he mounted my body on a white horse and then picked up some mangoes that had fallen from my basket.

"Please" he said gently with polite etiquette.

"Thank you" I smiled and he then paused for a moment before returning that smile.

"I'm sorry if it sounds disrespectful, where did you come from?" I paused for a moment confused as to what to answer but surprisingly Naru suddenly came up with a black-haired cat with a golden blue ribbon.

"Nlaru!"

"Master Blue!"

We were silent before finally laughing together because it turned out to have a very unique similarity.

"It was a shocking first meeting" he said, watching Naru cling to his cat. "Well Mr Blue it's time we go home—"

"Bow!!"

And the cat clawed at his handsome face for a moment when it separated from Naru. I tried to get off the horse to check on her condition but she immediately forced the cat "naughty, don't you see I'm trying to look cool in front of the beautiful girl?" But the cat just sizzled.

I laughed softly and he noticed, a faint red hue on his face before then he bowed naturally with the black cat in his arms "sorry for my disrespectful actions. Introduce me Rian Indramayu from the family of Duke Akasa" he introduced himself gently.

"Greetings to Rian! I'm Arin! This is Naru, my traveling companion!"

"Arin is such a beautiful name" she approached and bowed while kissing my hand "it's a pleasure to meet you, Arin" I laughed, how polite she was.

Horses walked slowly down every lane I had walked before, the same atmosphere kept on being seen in the forest "really this way?" Asked Rian worriedly.

"Really! Brother Novan is here! Oh that's her— SISTER!!" I screamed loudly when I saw Brother Novan who was about to eat an apple "DON'T EAT APPLE IT—"

An arrow suddenly shot towards it, piercing the red apple and then dropping it from the brother's hand. Rian looked angry when I called out the name of brother, with a cold expression his hand seemed to hold a bow out of nowhere, was he the one who just shot the arrow? It's great!

"Sister!"

As soon as Rian dropped me off I immediately ran towards brother along with Naru who was now in my basket "Arin bring fruit!!" I quickly opened the basket.

"Ah don't need that brother had found an apple tree anyway.well at least before someone with a shitty stature messed up"

Novel POV:

The blue-haired child with the black cat looked at me irritatedly, for some reason I didn't like it "When Arin had taken the trouble to find fruit for you, but without knowing the shame you were looking for it yourself. Did you ignore the effort that Arin was doing?" His word.

"That's-that's it..."

"This is unforgivable Arin. Has he never studied krama?" Son you should reflect, since when archery manakan someone is also manners.

"Huh tata Krama? How do I know the Krama system of this place if I just got here?!" Reply annoyed.

"You— what..? Just got here..?" The boy looked surprised, but before he could ask a loud voice suddenly sounded from the sky, a cold strong wind then blew. The shocked face of the child then looked towards the slightly wiping sky.

"Blue sauce!"

A whale flying up there with red eyes staring down, as if investigating what place he would cross— did not seem to reflect what place he would destroy. Right after a while we looked at him, the whale also seemed to be staring at us.

"Rian.. is that what?" Arin asked fearfully to the boy. At least now I know what his name is.

'whatever why, I'm like I've seen that whale'

"Master Blue!!" The boy shouted suddenly.

His black cat then melted into pieces of light and formed a dark blue bow "For the sake of my homeland, in His power and blessing I borrowed once again the blessing you bequeathed.." a blue light surrounded his body and bow, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky "to you the Bathara Indra.."

'wait how can this child have the power of a god?!' mind shocked.

But before he could finish his prayer, a flash of fire shot toward the whale.

Up there was a black-haired young man with golden armor on his body flying with a wing on his back.

"That's brother Abdi. You must run!" Rian stopped his action and the sky that was enveloped in lightning then disappeared "run!!" His words were staring at the two of us while from a distance vaguely someone called out to him in anger.

"But.."

"This-!"

Rian gave two strands of beautifully patterned cloth, it was batik with blue and white color "wear and go to the city! Get along well!" Then insert some gold coins there "until we meet again.keep yourself" he said and immediately ride a horse.

"See you Arin"

"Rian.."

"Wheel! Le's go! It's not safe here!!" Shouted, damn I saw a shadow between the trees. Is that the same creature that was with that man named Nanaru?!

"Wait around! Rian!"

In a storm of wind he smiled, before being swept away by the mist and the sound of horse treads was heard away from us along with us who ran away from the place.

Can we meet again?

Where is this actually?

What the hell's going on?

Many questions arise but there is only one answer "we must first go to safety and find out everything one by one!" I pulled Arin's hand and asked her to run.

'that kid named Rian, I'm sure he's a god of choice. The power that is in his body is the power of the god Indra, the god of weather and heaven in Hinduism'

'as expected, you are indeed a unique person'

The pain struck my head and just at that moment a foreign voice sounded, my gaze became blurry and black figures from behind the trees were visible. I did not recover suddenly and spontaneously my body moved on its own and a red dagger emerged from my hand.

"How dare you get this far"

No, that's not my word. But I couldn't stop that line coming out of my mouth, as if something inside me was taking over. From the end of my eyes I saw Arin trembling in fear, her frightened look was high as she unintentionally cried out in fear the first time we met.

"It seems you need to be taught a lesson."
