Earth Peg
Loyalty Uncle Lyod

Uncle Coeli and Celli headed to the Sky castle.

"What if we have a closed-door meeting ?"the fifth ascetic

"We tested their loyalty ?"uncle Flyied said somewhat doubtfully

"We don't intend to go there for that. Only we have to determine who is the protective guard," said the fourth ascetic meaningfully.

"All right," said Uncle Flyied

Uncle Flyied told the guards about the meeting.

The appointed day arrives.

The sun shines brightly in Fogyer's castle.

As usual they had a meeting in the meadow that located the first protector of Fogyer castle.

There is only an upright flat oval stone located on the edge of the gorge and a square stone that upholds the flat oval stone.

In the middle - the middle of the flat oval stone there is a round-shaped hole that is the size of an adult's fist.

"Is everything here? said uncle Flyied

Everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads.

"All right then. Whom can we start ?"said uncle Flyied

"Please" said the first ascetic

"Today we are here for a new chapter in our lives. Everyone here almost had the same painful experience. But today, we choose not to be silent but to act. Not for old memories but for new beginnings. Today once again flowers grow in this castle and assign us to protect it so that it develops. Therefore, I will renew the covenant made by our ancestors. I hope you understand this" said Uncle Flyied.

One by one the guard candidates approached the stone and put their hands into the stone hole.

When the first guard took his hand out of the hole, his hand caught a blackish mist. That means he'll be guarding the fourth protector.

Then the second would-be guard did the same, his hand catching the ash-coloured mist. That means he'll be guarding the third protector.

The whiter the fog that is obtained, the guard will guard the outermost protector and that does not catch the fog means he will not guard the protector of Fogyer castle.

Performed one by one by prospective guards. Who get the chance to keep going directly to their respective posts.

The last would-be guard was a senior guard who was said to be a traitor.

When his hand is inserted and removed. His hand caught the bright white mist. This of course made Uncle Flyied surprised.

"Who are you ?"the first ascetic

"What do you mean, ascetic ?"said the senior guard

"There are visions of the past if indeed you are the person in question then you should not be worthy of guarding the protector" said the second ascetic.

"You are a traitor" said Uncle Flyied impatiently

"What does that mean, Flyied ?"said the senior guard puzzled.

"Don't pretend to be confused. The only thing telling me when to attack this castle .. and make the enemy enter is the insider" said Flyied's uncle.

"Patience, son. Everything must have an explanation" said the first ascetic

"We changed the deal. Only those who have loyalty from the beginning of his life until the end of the day towards this castle can become guards" said the fifth ascetic

"So, it turns out you already know," said the senior guard

"So you're right to betray" said Uncle Flyied, letting out a black mist in his hand.

"Stop Flyied" said the first hermit issuing a sizable voice.

Uncle Flyied was surprised. The first ascetic is the calmest. It turns out that it can also rule with such a tone.

"He hasn't explained anything. Let there be no regrets in the future" said the second ascetic.

"My name is Lyod not Lyied. You should know that my mother gave birth to twins. My brother and I grew up in this castle" said uncle Lyod, staring at the five ascetics.

"Yes. The task was actually given to my sister but at the time of day. My brother arrived - suddenly sick so I replaced him.. I don't even know if he's lying and twisting the facts" said uncle Lyod

"When did you come back from the highest hill ?"the fourth ascetic

"Nearly the fourth week. Heading there is already difficult plus having to climb a dry tree that needs to be watered by water," said uncle Lyod

Uncle Flyied who had been there was very surprised that uncle Lyod knew such detailed information.

"When I returned, I met the Sky who was again guarding the first protector as usual. The sky was shocked to see me and I told him everything. The sky trusted me and told me my sister's version. I was angry and wanted to see him but the sky was blocking me" said uncle Lyod.

Uncle Lyod showed glimpses of the past.

"Where are you going ?"uncle Lyod said

"Don't be no use. Kata - you say the opposite - said. At first it must be the words he heard but surely finally when your experience is told the words will be believed," said the Sky

"What's the problem then ?"uncle Lyod was confused

"Your mother's sick again and there's a time when if she finds out you're safe she'll be happy. Only when you know that your sister lied to her would she be more hurt" said Sky.

"So this is not my place anymore" said uncle Lyod as he grinned his hand loudly.

"Meet the one who gave you this task. Tell me you found that hill. After that whatever happens is your decision" said the Sky

Uncle Lyod thought hard and finally went to see his mother Flyied who was again sitting in the garden while looking at the tree in front of him.

"Sister" said uncle Lyod

Aunt turned her head, surprised then smiled and hugged her.

"You survived and made it home" said his mother Flyied

"Yes, brother. Sis, it wasn't my sister who went to that hill but I made it there" said uncle Lyod

"really ?"his mother Flyied said

"Yes. I found that hill. The hill was steep, dark, cold snowy and there was a dry tree heading over it" Lyod's uncle explained.

"That means you went there. Why is your sister lying ?"his mother said Flyied understood

"I don't understand either. He asked me to leave because he said he was sick" said uncle Lyod

"Then what now ?"his mother said Flyied.

"Allow me to enter this castle. Although I won't show my face to the residents here" said uncle Lyod

"Are you okay - what's with this condition?"his mother Flyied said

Uncle Lyod just nodded his head.

****

"So all this time uncle lived here ?"said uncle Flyied

"Yes. In the first protector. Until I finally saw his betrayal. Mom too. That night I saw him leave the third protector to the border. I thought I was the only one following her, it was my mom, too. And he met that GUY. I don't know what he's planning. They don't really talk. My mother came home" said uncle Lyod

Uncle Lyod told me again

"I told your mother" said Uncle Lyod, looking at Uncle Flyied.

"It turns out he was the one who made the enemy enter the castle when you were imprisoned. I saw him having a big fight with my mom. By the time I tried to get to them it was too late. My mother was attacked by another enemy and sprawled. He and the enemy just left" said uncle Lyod in tears.

"I followed. She's surprised. When I asked for an explanation. He just laughed wickedly. His jealousy made him very vile" said uncle Lyod.

"So, what are you doing ?"said uncle Flyied

"I ended his life as did his friend. I told this to your mother and told me to get you out of this castle" said uncle Lyod looking at Uncle Flyied.

Uncle Flyied couldn't say anything.

"Please head to your protective post" said the fifth ascetic.
