Emely the Conqueror
Looking for shelter

I was very shocked when I heard the reply from the grandfather who was so loud while knocking his cane on the floor was very strong, he said, I could only manage my breathing which felt very difficult to control by myself, Devano also rubbed my back several times to try to calm me who was too shocked before.

"Emely are you okay?" Devano's asking looks worried about me.

I could only reply with a nod and the grandfather immediately asked us to get out of the strange cave he named as the cave of obscenity.

"Get you out of my cave, and go find a safe place to stay, there's a problem that you have to solve in this cave" he said, turning his eyes to us.

"Grandfather.but where is the way out, our surroundings are dark and everything feels empty too, where should we walk?" I asked in confusion to look around the room which only had books lined up neatly.

Devano also realized that there was no door that he had previously entered the room.

"Huh? In...Where is the door, didn't we just come in through a door?" Tanya Devano no less surprised.

The grandfather suddenly told me to focus and try to find the door again.

"Heh girl of fire, try to focus your mind and look carefully around the bookshelf in this room well" the grandfather told me with a snide look through the end of his eyes.

I took a deep breath and threw it away slowly and then closed my eyes for a while to calm myself down first and tried to focus on my own thoughts until when I opened my eyes again and looked around the room filled with the book, I began to see a towering and majestic door, it was also your treatment opened and it was as if someone was inviting me to enter it.

I unconsciously got down from the chair and walked slowly towards the door because I was very curious and wanted to ascertain whether it was the door that grandfather meant or not.

On the other hand from Devano's point of view he could not see anything and he walked from behind following Emely because his grandfather told him to follow Emely quickly.

"Emely where are you going? Hey, Emely are you possessed?" Devano asked shouting to hold me back.

But I couldn't hear it at that moment, and I didn't even realize that I was there with my grandfather and Devano, and all I could hear in my ear was a strange noise from behind that door.

I was hypnotized and didn't remember anything and didn't notice things around me and just focused on the door and wanted to get into it immediately.

"Heh, you rancid boy! Quickly follow him and hold his hand if you want to get out of this cave" said his grandfather.

Devano immediately ran after Emely and held the edge of his clothes because Devano still felt a little afraid of Emely who was unconscious like that.

"Basin a cowardly boy!" Chirp the grandfather when he saw what Devano did.

Until I started trying to touch something dark from behind the door and suddenly my body was sucked inside for a very short time until I realized it was just when I had suddenly appeared in the forest before and when I turned there was only a high cliff and a dead end like the one I first saw with the strange grandfather.

"Aahhh....what just happened, is it real?" I said as reflexes directly touched the cliff wall with both hands.

I tried to push up the cliff and hit the brown rocks that were there, but they were real and I didn't find anything unusual around.

"Eugh..eughhh...it's hard and it's a real cliff, ta.but where's that weird grandpa?" My words are getting more astonished.

Devano was still standing not far from me and he just stared pensively and did not move a bit, I tried to resuscitate him because he looked unconscious and like a person in heavy shock.

"Devano?, Hey.... Devano! what's wrong with you?" I said while shaking his body until he suddenly collapsed falling down limply.

I panicked to see her limp and still look so shocked like that, and I didn't know how to calm her down so that she would come to her senses just like me.

"Devano are you okay? Hey come to your senses, don't burden me like this" I said already starting to panic.

Devano finally wanted to make a sound and looked back at me.

"Emely is this really you, it's not a hallucination, is it, or is it my grandfather's illusion?" Ask while cupping my face just like that.

I was very upset and instantly tightened my teeth firmly to hold back the emotions that were already about to explode inside me.

Devano lightly touched my face with his dirty hands that had touched the wet ground just now, and he pressed my cheeks at will, it irritated me so much and just threw his hands out loud.

"Asha..... Devano you're looking to die!" Snapped me while fending off her hand firmly.

Instead of being afraid when I snapped at him and fended off his hand, he was instead seen smiling happily and just hugged me.

"aaa... Emely now I'm pretty sure that this is you for real, I'm so scared of losing you" she said, which disgusted me.

I pushed him back strongly until Devano let go of his embrace from me.

Immediately I stood up while cleaning my scowled face because of the dirty soil caused by Devano just now who held my face without permission, not forgetting I also cleaned my clothes that already looked very, very dirty.

"God! quickly get up, we have to go find shelter" I told him.

He looked hard on his feet but I didn't care about him, I let him stand on his own and left quickly. Until we had walked long enough but did not find a place to swim as well, around us was just a wilderness with towering trees with wide leaves.

The sound of crickets creaking and frogs that continue to be connected increasingly sounding loud in the ears, and not only that sound but other strange sounds that we do not know where it came from or what kind of animal sounds.

"Emely wait for me, don't stay away from me, I'll protect you" Devano said, holding my hand tightly.

I just stared at him cynically and really wanted to slap him back then, it was obvious he looked frightened and held my hand in a quiver, but he still pretended to want to protect me, his words make me so sick.

But looking at his face I really did not have the heart to slap him and could only exhale violently holding my emotions.

"Haaahh, you coward!" I said while pressing my teeth firmly.

I continued walking more and more into the forest until I found a collection of tree branches that I had left before, he said, even though the twig looked messy I could still recognize it from the length and size of the twig I had picked up earlier.

"Ah...it is not the twigs that I collected, it means this is where I was before when I found grandfather" I said thinking.

I looked around and I felt that the place was quite safe because there were not too many lush and tall trees around there, so I thought that there would be no ferocious beasts that would dare to come to such an open place.

I immediately picked up and reassembled the dried branches and immediately made a bonfire using only the strength and skill of my hands, devano just sat there and leaned against one of the trees.

"Asha..... Are we a changed soul here?, you should be the one who protects me and makes a bonfire to warm up, why am I the one who does this heavy work, haisssss..... That's upsetting!" My gertutuku is very upset.
