Goddess of Destiny
Chapter 04: Forest

The night was getting late but Ara's eyes never gripped, her thoughts now floated about a decision that might change her future.

Breathing out from her lips, Ara sat up and stood up to open the balcony door and enjoy the cool night breeze out there.

"The moon shines, the stars are scattered, the cool night breeze plays on my hairdo,

O moon what should I do.

What star should I choose?

In the end tonight will end with worry,” said Ara with her own eyes staring at the sky.

What's he supposed to do? Does he have to go back to that place again, isn't he just going to Magica World and won't come to that place later?

If so, what should he doubt? Question after question came to Ara's mind.

Still, he found a way out of his problem.

Ara looked straight at the very dangerous forest, Nava and Rean said, believing that they knew her mind to come to the forest out of curiosity.

But, come on who wouldn't be curious after seeing that mysterious light.

“Hah...I'm not sure if the light will reappear or not,” murmured Ara.

Ara closed her eyes enjoying the night breeze hitting her and playing her hair child.

Curious cold wind, the light-carrying wind yesterday that he now felt, uh wait, this is the same wind.

Ara spontaneously opened her eyes, her eyes widening never to see the light coming from within the forest.

“That light again!” yells.

Ara looking right left all the house lights off, ‘it looks like this is her inner exact’ moment.

Ara settles into the precipitate out of her room, hoping that Nana, Baba and Rean don't know about it.

But unfortunately the plan settles out through the main door failing to see Nana and Babanya talking in the living room while Rean, Aruna and Maru are watching in the living room.

“Forced deh had to teleport, may not be out of control again,” beg Ara then immediately he disappeared and was right in front of the forest.

“Please no one knows,” murmured while looking right, left and back.

Ara immediately entered the forest following the existing path.

“There are those who use magic!” baraz exclaimed when he sensed that there was magic active in the house.

“What is Rean?” ask Nana.

The two then rise to the family room to meet Rean.

“Rean you ngunain magic?” nana asked her granddaughter.

“Magic? No I do not use magic, from earlier I just watched with Aruna also Maru,” replied Rean.

Aruna and Maru looked at each other. “Do-not, Ara!” they shouted and immediately ran to Ara's room after Rean, Baraz and Nana.

“Ara you are inside?” aruna asked, opening the door to Ara's room and realizing that Ara did not exist.

Rean walked quickly to the door of Ara's balcony that opened and did not see Ara there, Rean's eyes were fixed on the forest that was right in front of him.

“Oh, come on don't tell me he entered that forest!”rean exclaimed while shuffling his hair in frustration.

“If you see the nature of Ara surely she is now in the forest,” reply Maru.

Baraz looked flat at the forest and disappeared and seconds later in front of the forest.

“How?” tanya Nana who was also following Baraz.

“His magic protector is active he has entered this forest,” Baraz replied.

“Navia, pack Ara's belongings he'll be back in two days and it's time,” Baraz said looking at the forest.

Navia soon disappears following the husband's order to clean up her grandson's belongings.

“Nana how?” asked Rean worriedly.

“Please Re, Ara will be back in two days, you don't have to worry,” Navia replied.

“Tap-tap that forest,” said Rean.

“This was originally Rean, the story was just started and with the entry of Ara into the forest it was the beginning of the destruction of Qaranliq,” Navia smiled.

Aruna looked straight at the forest and disappeared.

“May you congratulations Ra, Dewi Nindiga,” said Aruna then curled up in a dark room alone.

“It has been more than ten years and it is time at least the kingdom should be retaken,” Baraz murmured.

In the woods, Ara.

after a few minutes of walking he stopped because of the path covered with plants.

“Well if you think you have to go back again dong ya,” said Ara with disappointment.

Ara turned around but before that happened her eyes caught the light of a firefly that was strangely blue.

Like directing somewhere Ara follows where the fireflies are.

“Also nothing happens if I use magic,” murmured Ara.

“Minim 'n yol ac,” said Ara recited a mantra then immediately the vines stepped aside to show the path.

During the journey Ara continues to be accompanied by beautiful scenery along with fireflies that fill the journey, this forest feels like Magica World.

Ara followed the road after a few minutes by following the fireflies Ara to a place with a beautiful waterfall.

The water flowed with moonlight, Ara continued to look around until her eyes were fixed on the figure of an animal drinking water by the lake.

“A White Tiger,” he said.

Why is there a white tiger in the forest like this and what is a blue stripe? Question after question approached Ara's mind.

Slowly Ara approached the snow-white Tiger, a swipe of grass could be heard making the tiger turn its head.

The tiger silently looked at Ara making Ara speechless with bad thoughts approaching, will the tiger eat it? Is he going to tear it? Forget that thought because Ara was more fixated with that tiger's eye.

“The Goddess of destiny, Goddess Nindiga, noble princess Nilara white senses knowledge,”ucap The tiger made Ara round her eyes.

Can the tiger speak? Is it a magical animal? Animal Magica World? Is it some kind of oshaberi? Question after question came to Ara's mind.

“Nami! I have good news for you!” there was a voice pointing at the white tiger.

Ara turned her head and found one more animal and this time it was a panther!

With soft black fur and also..blue stripes? What does all this mean?

Ara was fixated on the panther and just as it seemed the panther was also glued to her.

The white tiger walked towards the panther and aligned its place.

“How respectful are you Kabi!” the white tiger exclaimed making the panther that was originally glued to Ara now become conscious.

“Sorry for my carelessness,” said a panther named Kabi earlier.

“Salam Dewi, welcome back,” said the two animals while bowing respect to Ara.

Suddenly it made Ara become shocked and confused.

“Ka-you guys, are you magic animals?” asked Ara doubtfully.

“Ya,” answer both simultaneously.

“You kind of magic animal Oshaberi?” ask Ara again.

“More precisely we kind of Henko,” replied Kabi casually and got a punch from Nami.

“You Henko?! You can turn into a human?” ask Ara with a sparkle.

“Yes of course,” replied Nami then she turned into a beautiful woman with a white dress and long hair with some indigo strands.

(assume that some strands have a color value)

Likewise with Kabi who turned into a handsome man with black clothes and hair that has indigo color on some of the strands.

(this also considers a few strands of hair there is a indigo color)

“Sorry Goddess seems like we forgot to introduce ourselves,” said Nami.

“I Nami, Henko snow white tiger, you are my owner,” said Nami.

“And I am Kabi, Henko panther, you are my master Dewi,” said Kabi while kissing Ara's hand.

Ara was still speechless he was still shocked and astonished what had just happened.

“Hm Nami, Kabi looks like you guys are wrong, I am not a Goddess as you say my name is Ara,”.

“Henko will never be wrong in recognizing the master,” said Kabi.

‘Iya anyway,’ Inner Ara.

“Ta-but can you call me Ara and we also have no magic agreement,”

“Then let's tie the deal again!” kabi exclaimed to make Ara a little surprised but she agreed.

“this will be a little difficult,” said Ara then spread her hand and suddenly appeared a knife in her hand.

Ara looked at Kabi and Nami and sliced her hands slightly until the blood came out, Nami and Kabi looked down respectfully at Ara.

“I Ara made a pact with a magical animal, Hanko snow-white tiger Nami, Nami White and Hanko panther Kabi, Kabi Black,”.

Two drops of blood came out of the head of Nami and Kabi, Nila's light shining slowly dimmed with the marks on both of Ara's wrists.

On Ara's left wrist was a crescent moon and snow sign in the center and on Ara's right wrist was a crescent moon sign with lightning in the center.

Ara pensively for a moment suddenly she remembered the original purpose of entering the forest.

“Nami, Kabi do you know about the light shining in the middle of the forest?” ask Ara.

“What do you mean to your cargo?” ask Nami.

“My strength?” wonder Ara.

“Better you follow us Ara,” ujur Kabi.

Kabi walks with Nami entering a cave behind the waterfall, Ara following the two Hankos from behind.

They continued to enter the cave by following the water that continued to flow with blue jewels visible on each cave wall.

They stopped where there were many crystals inside.

“Well this is the biggest crystal, because this is your strength you might be able to communicate with him,” Kabi said with a smile.

Ara approached the crystal and followed Nami's direction by holding the crystal.

The flashbacks of the past whirled rapidly as Ara closed her eyes, Ara spontaneously opened her eyes and looked at the threads she had not seen for a long time.

‘Why can I see it again!’ inwardly Ara did not believe.

“Yang noble,”

“Your goddess is back!”

“Bring us our Goddess is yours,”

The sounds came back making Ara grin her baffled forehead, her voice coming from this crystal?

Suddenly Ara's mouth moved on its own but she was still able to control herself so that what should be a secret remained a secret.

“I Kinara Marme grediamon remkarnasi of Dewi Nindiga,” said Ara tampa consciously.

“As if the crystal will not be taken if you hide your identity,” said Kabi.

‘Then my secret will be revealed,’ inner Ara but no doubt now Ara's mouth again moves alone and this time he can not control it.

“I Nilara White Deria Knowledge reincarnate from the goddess of destiny Nindiga, I want to take back my sealed power to you Zeviyek ji heza, come back to me,” said that came out just like that.

Slowly a bright light shone, a beautiful jewel shard shot out from the crystal quickly the light and the jewel headed towards it like it was attacking.

However, as before Ara the light dimmed and disappeared, Ara reflexively holding her neck felt an object hanging there.

“Gem earlier!” yells.

“Ara I know now many questions in your mind, Magica World is the right answer if you want to know something the truth you have to go back,” said Nami.

“the eye was originally you had to look for the rupture so that your strength is perfect,” added Kabi.

“So, do I really have to go back there?” tanya Ara, she then sighed, “there is no other choice.”

“by the way Ara seems like you have to go back Ara,” said Nami.

“It looks like yes, it has been two days you are here,” added Kabi.

“What do you mean?! Two days?! Just be right!” exclaim Ara in disbelief.

“Ya it's up to you but this place is so, covered in magic,” Kabi replied.

“Then I have to really go home, today will go to Magica World, it will be a long day,” said Ara.

“Nami, Kabi Come!” take Ara while calling the two.

“Hiks..welcome to the forest where I live,” said Kabi made Nami roll her eyes lazy.

“Oh come on don't start,” said Nami.

“Oh ok ready, come!” kabi Exclamation.

Ara was stunned for a moment to see Kabi even though his human form was handsome and his original strong form was very childish and lebai.

“Well your Master wants to ride whom? Sanju Nami white tiger or Tiger beetle fluffy soft and comfortable that is me,” said Kabi who turned into animal form.

“Err, I'm with Nami only,” replied Ara and then went up to ride Nami who now turned into a snow-white Tiger.

“Oh, the forest where you think I left you and now my Master prefers the snow white than the black night,” said Kabi.

“Please don't make a drama,” ujur Nami who is now really lazy to see Kabi.

Ara chuckled amusedly at the sight of the two, she stroked Nami's head, ‘Soft,’ her inner voice that spoke because Nami's fur was really soft.

“I didn't expect that you guys were this big, if I stood your height like my height it wasn't,”ucap Ara.

“Yes that is so your Miss is ready to return?” ask Kabi.

“Sure, I'm always ready!” exclaims Ara then the three of them immediately leave.

Kabi jumped up the branches quickly as if he was playing, Nami just shook his head but he continued to run.

Ara enjoyed this he felt after the existence of Kabi and Nami life in Magica World is not too bad of course also with Aruna.

Talking about Aruna he became homesick with Cydymaith and his best friend who accompanied him from childhood, how are you? Hopefully the decision Ara made has been right.

At least he can see the happy twinkle in Aruna's eyes back the same as 10 years ago when they were at Magica World.

It seems true that said by Kabi the forest does have proof magic only now on the outside looks like the sun has just risen.

“Alright it looks like we have to hide right?” ask Nami.

“Wait better you guys turn into cats only!” exclaiming Ara.

“Cat?! You kidding?!” kabi asked in surprise.

“Not after counting it so better at least I can give you a reason if I enter the forest because I want to take the two cute cats that are trapped, also this can hide this necklace,” said Ara.

“It makes sense too, all right,” said Nami who agreed.

“You're kidding? I don't want to, I'm Kabi the male black panther when he becomes a small animal like a cat,” said Kabi did not accept.

“So you don't want to?” asked Ara with a face pretending to be sad.

“Kabi,” growled Nami looked sharply at Kabi.

“Eh, ah yes alright,” replied Kabi.

Then the two turned into adorable little animals, nami with her soft white fur.

And cabins with soft black fur are also crescent moon necklaces hanging around her neck.

"This is not too bad,” said Kabi.

Ara stretched her arms out so that the two of them jumped over her arms, Kabi and Nami who realized it immediately jumped Ara's embrace.

“Oh, look at that your fur is very soft,” ujur Ara with her anxiety.

“So let's get out!” ara exclaimed then cheerfully stepped out of the forest.

“Ara!” rean exclaimed when he saw Ara coming out of the forest.

“Oh Rean you are here new day of the morning yes,” said Ara as if she had just left a few hours ago.

“You've been anywhere for two days! I've already banned you from entering this forest!” exclaim Rean impressed snapping.

“Sorry anyway I caught these two cats they were stuck inside,” Ara said innocently.

“Oh you better take a break today we are going to Magica World,” Rean said.

“Eh isn't we going there in 2 days?” wonder Ara.

“It's been past two days Ara,” said Rean.

“Oh really! It turns out that this forest has magic,” said Ara pretending to be surprised.

“It's better we go home instead of White, Black,” Ara told Nami and Kabi.

“Meong~”

“Meong~” reply in second with eongan.

‘I hate being a cat!’ inner Kabi shouted.

Arriving home, Navia greeted her granddaughter with a hug.

“I know you're back with the right choice, rest we'll go later tonight,” Navia said.

Ara just nodded then walked towards her room, actually she had many questions she wanted to ask but she paused, let her find the answer later, she thought.

“Hup,” said Ara rolled on her bed and looked at Nami and Kabi.

“You use that form only first yes, if I told you to change form,” said Ara on both.

“What?! Oh, come!” exclaim Kabi did not accept that only in reply to the weirdness by Ara.

While Nami he now rolled beside Ara looking for a comfortable place on his master's side.

“Ara how are you doing are you okay?” asked Aruna who came to Ara.

“Aruna!” kabi exclaimed in shock to make Nami look at Aruna with a casual look.

“Oh you know each other?” ask Ara.

“Ya,” replied Nami.

“Oh, look who this is, is he Kabi? You are so worried about being like this!” aruna hugged Kabi.

Kabi tried to escape but unfortunately Aruna faster, Kabi resignedly and lazy look in the hug by Aruna.

“Come Ara I want to change!” exclaim Kabi while squeezing.

“Why? Nami was comfortable,” replied Ara while hugging Nami and stroking her fur made Nami growl comfortably.

“That's it, being eaten from the Beginning is indeed a cat, a big cat who is obedient is eating me a Tiger who likes freedom,” said Kabi.

“Samely, you are also a big cat,” Nami replied.

Kabi sighed, he resigned to his condition.

“Hei Aruna, I feel the presence of one of the 12 protectors here what was that guy?” kabi asked whispering to Aruna.

“That's right, he's Ara's cousin, the brave red, the red race, the Demon clan,” whispered Aruna.

“Mr Maru? The God of hell?” asked Kabi again, of course, in a whisper and answered a nod from Aruna.

“You can whisper What?” asked Ara curiously looking at the behavior of the two.

“Nothing just reminiscing about the past,” replied Aruna.

“Yes, nostalgic how wonderful the memories of the past are,” Kabi said.

“Start again,” says Ara.

“Have Ara ignored them both better you rest because in Magica World there will be many adventurers who will wait for me to explain something to you later,” Ujur Nami.

‘Adventure yes I wait for him,’ Inner Ara then shortly afterwards he fell asleep soundly towards dreamland.

“How much? How many protectors has Ara met?”ask Nami.

“6 only 6 more, we better resuscitate them first,” replied Aruna.

“What about the God of death? The God of that month did you know that?” ask Kabi.

“Not yet,” replied Aruna.

“However we must immediately know, otherwise it will suck when Ara is difficult to control the power when the gem has not been collected,” said Nami looked at Ara.

“Better you guys also rest because in the future we will have a long adventure full of challenges,” said Nami.

Kabi jumped from Aruna's arms and rolled beside Ara, beside Nami, as well as Aruna who rolled beside Ara and became Ara in the middle.

“Good dreams Ara,” whispered Aruna.

“Hopefully we will go through exciting adventures later, together,” whispered Kabi.

“I hope you remain my master forever, I will accompany you in your every reincarnation, my divine dream,”whispers Nami.

Then the three fell asleep hugging Ara completely entering the Dream Realm.
