One day Angga once said something like this.
"Silumans are supernatural beings who choose to live separately from the human world and live in areas that they claim as their territory, such as in mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, or the sea."
"They live in groups and societies like humans. Usually they do not disturb humans for no reason. Even so they tend to become aggressive and angry when humans enter their territory without permission. In that condition the demon becomes a dangerous creature that can harm humans."
"If they knew it was dangerous, would there still be stupid humans willing to enter the demon territory just like that?"
Anga laughed at my question. "Not willing, but humans often do it unconsciously."
"Why can?" ask again.
"Because our world is side by side with their world. Between the two overlapping realms, the boundary between the human world and the demon world was never clear and there was never any mutual agreement. Both humans and demons claim each other's territory at will."
"In the end it's just their excuse to hurt another being."
"Then the humans who lost, because they could not see their demons so do not know whether it was their territory or not," I argue.
"This is the importance of ethics and manners in foreign places. Like giving greetings, it is useful to tell the owner of the place that we come to see you politely. Keeping oral so as not to talk carelessly that can offend the 'owner'. We also take care of the places we visit. Does not damage or defile and does not take things that are not his."
"While it does not guarantee our complete safety at least we have shown a good ethic to the owner of the place. Because a good host would be happy with a good guest as well."
Back to the present, where I was lost in a strange place. Without having the time for me to date or get acquainted, I was already faced with an angry host. Who accuse us of entering their territory without permission.
Worse yet my friend fainted at the worst possible time.
"Syny man! You entered our territory without permission!" said one of the three.
"Wait first! We are lost! Not entering without permission. Please understand!"
"Catch 'em!" the command of one of them who seemed to be its chairman.
Seeing them preparing to approach me, I slowly stepped back. But my footing faltered, I slipped and fell to the ground in a sitting position.
From my current position I saw them become bigger than before, and more terrifying. What will they do if they catch me?
A shadow flashed above my head. The figure of the wolf creature I once met was standing in front of me. I recognized him from the way he looked at me with his golden eyes.
Without the cue the feathered creature gripped my waist and carried my body into the air, leaving behind the three horned creatures. The werewolf jumped over tree after tree at high speed. It was like a roller coaster ride. My head got dizzy because the scenery around me was moving so fast.
I think we've gone quite far from where we were. Leaving our pursuers behind. This wolf demon also brought Dina. But what purpose did this creature take me? Does he want to save me or does he have other plans?
Suddenly something hit us hard, making the three of us bounce off the ground. I saw the wolf demon growling prepared to attack furiously.
I didn't see the person who made us fall. That creature is bigger and stronger. After that I didn't know what was going on because as soon as I opened my eyes again, the three of us were locked in a cold, shuttered room with no windows.
But this room is a little bright even though I don't know where the light source is. I saw Dina still lying down.
The werewolf was locked up with us in bondage.I now see it clearly. I approached him.
"Thank you!" sincerely said.
"You've been trying to help us, haven't you?" That must be true. The way he looked at me was not like a hungry beast.
"Even if the three of us are finally caught again" I said again with a laugh to melt the atmosphere.
"Why do you want to help us? Is it because I returned your doll? Ah wait! That's not your doll, is it? Who is the original owner? Is that a girl? What are you showing me? Who's the girl?"
He responded and almost spoke to me when one of the guards came in and took us out.
They tied my hands. And close my eyes. To drive me somewhere I don't know. They left Dina alone cooped up in the room. I hope they don't do anything bad to him.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a bright light. It took me a while to get used to it and realize where I was.
They took me to a field, surrounded by dancers last night. They looked at me with a strange and low view. A bigger figure stood in front of us. I know he must be the leader of the way he intimidated us.
A man who looked like an old man was standing near us. He was small and bent down with a stick in his hand. A small horn on top of her white hair made her look like a pitiful old sheep. His hate-filled gaze was shown to me.
"Ck-ck! Not only humans, even wolf children dare to break through here. Have we been too kind to intruders?" He clucked while insinuating us.
I ignored him, and instead turned to the werewolf beside me.
"So you're still a kid?" many ensure.
"I'm not a kid! I'm a teenager!" presumedly. I finally heard his voice.
"Just the same."
"Stranquil you! The trial will begin!" The guard's instructions took us. He's the one we met last night.
Everyone was silent, including the spectators. I finally know what this place is. This is their court.
"So, they're the intruders you arrested last night?" ask the figure of their leader who is sitting on his throne. Honestly, he looks scary to me. In addition to his large figure, the sound also gave me goosebumps. He has a large horn facing forward. He has a normal face like a human. His eyes were staring at me as if he was studying me.
"Yes, King!' the guard brought us. He was late standing behind us.
"Quick kneel! Right now you're standing in front of the great king, man!" The old man beside me gave the order.
I ignored him again despite the annoyance.
"I greet the king" I bowed slightly. "I'm sorry I won't kneel. Because if I get down on my knees I'll admit my mistake. While I haven't defended."
