Earth Peg
New Start at the Abbey Castle

"Suyira is ready" said Aunt Robben

"It's Bi," said Suyira was shocked - goopoh down from the first floor of her room.

"Woww sister beautiful. The dress was also pretty," Rory said showing a tone of amazement and envy.

The school hall was transformed into more beautiful. Not as usual. The atmosphere is rame and boisterous. Suddenly one of the teachers spoke on stage and used a mic.

"Mothers and all our students are expected to sit on the bench provided. A third-grader's discharge event will be held soon" the teacher said.

Sitting one row, Suyira, Tommy, Eldast, Rerast and Flay. Meanwhile, their parents sat across from them.

"Unsensibly. We are finished" said Rerast girang.

"Yes," replied Suyira saddened at the thought of having to part with all of them.

Grandma said she'd finished the release, the night she was gonna go follow her. They all know that.

They took pictures for the last time. During the meal, Eldast takes Suyira to the park.

"You're going. Tonight isn't it ?"said Eldast

"Yes" said Suyira

"Titip my regards to grandma. Hurry back. I will wait for you" Eldast said

"I don't think Eldast has to wait for Suyira" Suyira said

"Why ?"eldast was confused

"Suyira's not just looking for a safe place. Suyira wants to train there to be strong and protect the people Suyira cares about" Suyira said

"No problem. Eldast will come with Suyira and protect Suyira" Eldast said

Suyira did not answer. Just speechless.

The awaited night arrives.

"You came alone" said the grandmother

"Yes grandma. Aunt Robben and Rory just drove me to the door. So did Tommy and his mother" Suyira explained

"It seems like someone is following you from behind," said the granny smiling meaningfully

"Who ?"suyira looked back

"No need to hide. Please come out" said the grandmother

Appearing from behind the tree, Rerast and Flay.

"You guys ?"suyira was confused

"Don't be angry first Suyira. We also want to come with you," said Rerast

"Yes" replied Flay

"But your aunt and father ?"said Suyira

"They already know. When you said you were going with grandma. We have told them. At first they didn't agree but they finally agreed" Flay explained

Suyira wanted to say something but stopped in frustration.

Grandma called one of the monastery guards and gave the three of them a robe to wear when heading to the Abbey castle. They continue the journey.

"How did you know you had to prepare three robes ?"said Suyira

"Just say grandma has a little knowledge in divining," said grandma

"Then why didn't grandma give you a warning ?"said Suyira

"I told you. But one's destiny has been recorded although avoided will surely come too. Your mother knew about it," said Grandma

"Just like my destiny and my mother" Flay said

"More or less like that. Although grandma was a bit cheating," said the granny smilingly

"I mean grandma ?"flay said astonished

"Even if it's not your time and your mother and your father's time. But he avoided the trauma that the three of you would experience," said the grandmother

Flay could only remain silent.

Their journey is smooth. When it arrived in front of the castle gate, the guards stopped them. While the grandmother instantly disappeared along with the two guards who accompanied them on the journey.

"What is your purpose here ? Forever or a minute ?"said the guard

The three of them answered.

"Attep," the three of them answered

"alright. Then you will face a long suffering. Your place is the most basic of these castles. To see the sunlight when you can already climb up from every step of the stairs in this castle," said the castle guard

"If we choose forever ?"said Rerast curiously

"You shall be sanctified in the pool of life. You will break with the worldly and devote yourself only to seeking tranquility" said the castle guard

When they entered the castle. The guards inside led them to the lower castle using candle flames because the place was dark. Along the hallway there was a candle burning. They headed to one of the castle rooms. Inside the room, there were three beds, there was a fireplace, and one table and chair. The room is dark and cold.

The guard gave a piece of paper with details of the tasks they had to perform each day. Suyira was surprised to read it.

"Wait.. How do we get everything ready ?"said Suyira

"Didn't you have the power. Stay used. Beres isn't ?"the guard said meaningfully

"What is written ?"flay said directly taking out a piece of paper from Suyira's hand

"This is called torture" said Flay fiercely

Rerast also saw

"I'm sorry. You shouldn't have come" Suyira said

"It's not your fault. It's our decision" Rerast said

"If I knew about this. I won't let you come here either. Already been. What can be done," said Flay

At dawn they had woken up and prepared breakfast for the inhabitants of the castle who were one level above.

After they finished eating, Suyira, Rerast and Flay were tasked with cleaning the dishes, glasses and the room where they ate.

Fortunately they did not have many complaints against Suyira, Rerast and Flay because they also experienced what Suyira, Rerast and Flay are now experiencing.

When they finished, they prepared breakfast for themselves.

Finished from that, they replaced all the candles on each level that the room was still dark.

They were allowed to go out to fetch the water that was meant to wash the robes of the entire monastery castle guard.

They were only given time off at meals and at night. The rest of the time they train with the guards.

At first they complained but the days changed months and eventually changed years made them become accustomed.
