Followed by the Chaotic Creature
Negotiations

Finally the village chief agreed to take us to the shaman's place.

Arriving at the shaman's house my eyes were fixed on a wooden cage. Inside was a girl about 6 years old.

The boy I saw in my memory. He plays the doll that Lisa found. Last I saw him fall into the river. Was he caught after that?

I look at that little boy. We were both in the same position. I was still treated like a prisoner. Children are locked up like animals.

It seems that the angry one is not just me. Behind me Einar and the wolf cub showed angry emotions. But they immediately hid it when the village chief introduced us to the Shaman Arang.

In addition to Shaman Arang there were two other men standing near the cage. My eyes can not be separated from the cage made the shaman Arang so turned to watch me.

"I'll just go straight. Right now my friend is being held captive by bull-headed demons. Their leader asked for a sandra exchange. In exchange for my friend's life, they're asking you to let go of the young demon you captured" I said.

"Look, you're talking! I've taken great pains to catch this one demon creature. Just ask you to just take it off."

"Charcoal Shaman, do you know who my friend is being held captive? He's the grandson of a high-ranking official. His mother was a journalist and his father also had acquaintances of important people. If anything happens to my friend, I'll tell her everything to her family and blame you!" I threatened while pointing at him.

"Why am I to blame?" he said with a proud tone.

"If you still don't want to let go, you're letting my friend be there forever. My friend's family will definitely not let you just like that" I threatened. "But if you help free him, his family will give you great rewards and you will be even more famous. Don't you want it?" This time I persuaded him.

"lik! You must be lying right now. I didn't hear the news there was a granddaughter of a missing official."

"If everyone knew he was the son of a high-ranking official, all criminals would definitely be after him. That's why they cover it up. I'm not lying. You can ask my friend directly as soon as he's free."

The shaman still doesn't seem to believe it. It turned out to convince the shaman more than I expected. My lies didn't shake him enough. I have to move on to plan B.

"Sir Kades, please help me convince the Shaman Arang to release the child. It's not just the life of my friend, but the life of the entire village."

" What do you mean, son?"

"I didn't want to say it, but it looks like you all should know. If until sunset I don't bring the boy, then they will attack this village."

Mr. Kades was surprised to hear my words. He seems to trust completely. He looks scared.

"Omong empty! They can't attack! even if it's true they must have attacked long ago," said shaman Arang refused to believe.

"That's right, Mr. Kades. They do not dare to attack because here there is a shaman Arang who is famous for his prowess has conquered many demons. Shaman Arang certainly can handle it," said one of the men who was with the shaman Arang.

"How much can you handle? Their numbers are very large. One in a thousand? A hundred to a thousand? Even one against one is not necessarily we win. They're very strong."

"Alasn they did not attack not because they were afraid, but because they were waiting for the right time. And tonight is the time. They will become strong many times over. Think carefully, Sir! How many died? How many will be hurt? If you survive not to let go of the demon."

The three people began to worry. Goody! I think I have a talent for lying. They ate my lies. Except the shaman Arang.

"It turns out that the clever shaman Arang can be stupid too yes," I said.

"What?" Shaman Arang exclaimed furiously at me.

"You think I know where to get the demon boy if not from the bull king himself. I wouldn't know that if I hadn't met them." Those words were the final assault I could tell them in this negotiation.

I ventured to advance closer to that wooden cage . The two men were about to stop me, but Einar and the wolf boy stopped the three.

"Wait a minute, kid! Even if we can release him, there's no guarantee that the stealthy Ara is freeing your friend" prevent Mr. Kades.

"Maybe you're right, sir. But I decided to believe it. The reason is because they let me do this negotiation without binding me. I could have run away without caring about my friends, but they they trusted me."

"They could have taken this child by force, but they didn't, they chose negotiations as a way of peace because they respected us. Is that still not enough reason to believe them?"

"I won't let you let go" prevent the witch doctor Arang. " You don't know what this demon boy can do."

"What's? What can this demon do? Did he bite her? Did he scratch you? Did he hurt one of the villagers here until he deserved to be locked up like this?" I stood up to challenge the middle-aged man who claimed to be the greatest shaman.

For a moment all was silent. Then one of them spoke, "The little smile has stolen the garden of one of the villagers."

"stealing? What'd he take that for? He didn't eat that?" I was surprised to not believe it.

"We don't know either, but we caught him while he was stealing in the people's fields."

"Belk!" I tried to call the boy who was still cowering in fear inside the cage. "Don't be afraid! I'm here to help you."

The girl looked at me doubtfully. "I heard you stole their results sometimes. Is that true?" my many. The boy nodded weakly.

"What did you do it for? You can't eat that food?" ask again.

"not for me. But for grandma." The boy finally opened his voice, even though he was scared.

"Which grandmother?" my many. Amy, the demon boy is pointing west.

"There was my grandmother who helped me when I fell into the river. But now his eyes were not clearly seeing and could not walk. So want to help her get some food," Java Amy. Now I understand his sitting.

"We can't trust him right away. He could have lied."

"Liar or not, we can decide after checking the place designated by this child. If what he says is true then you must let go of this child" I said as I opened the wooden cage and pulled Amy out. But shaman Arang stopped me again.

I pushed him because I was upset. "The talks are over!" me telling him. I looked at him bravely.
