...*****************...

The test match has ended. Darius received the test pass letter and officially became a K.A.O knight and tomorrow, there will be a welcoming ceremony for the knights who have passed. For this achievement, Raven immediately held a BBQ located on the roof of the Grand Mansion building. The people present at the BBQ event were just the two of them and specifically for them.

"In this way, I can enjoy being with you. Without any interference" said Raven.

He put a lobster on the grill. Raven also provides a variety of fresh meats and vegetables. Drinks, fruits and other dessert menus. All he had prepared for his master. Meanwhile, Darius seemed busy finishing the roast meat that had just ripened.

"Nyam. nyam.. aem..," so voraciously Darius, ate all that meat.

Ting! The keg! (door bell rings).

Instantly, Raven became wary...

"Who came here? can't that spoiled girl?" his mind was focused on Mona.

He also came to the direction of the voice. From Doorbell's camera, two knights from K.A.O were seen visiting his house. The faces of the two knights were very familiar to Raven, he opened the door for his two guests. Those who came, were happy because they had been allowed to visit the K.A.O Director's house.

"You're Sebastian and Olson, right? tumben you came here" asked Raven.

"Thank you for allowing us to visit. We both wanted to meet someone named Darius Hunt, according to the information we got, he lives with the Director" Olson replied.

Raven got chin up...

"They both need to be with master? has he? did they both ever meet the master?" inner Raven.

"We would like to thank him for the help he gave us. If he didn't exist then, we wouldn't both be helped" Sebastian said.

"When?" ask Raven inwardly.

For a moment, Raven's mind was filled with question marks. Raven finally remembered, the incident when a Hydra attacked the city of Tideo. At that time, Darius saved these two knights, as Hydra was about to finish them off (Chapter 8).

"Oh. So apparently, all right. Please come in, I'll take you two to see him" said Raven.

With pleasure, the two of them were escorted to the roof, to meet Darius. Darius who was eating also caught his attention because of the presence of the two of them.

"Good afternoon, sorry to interrupt your meal time" said Sebas.

"You guys....., the two knights who fought Hydra back then, right?" ask Darius.

"Yes, right. We both wanted to thank you for your help at the time. Thanks to you, we can still live to protect this city" Olson replied.

Darius approached them, then patted both of their shoulders. Olson and Sebas were a little nervous.

"No need to thank. Knights like you two can't be gone in no time. This city, this country, and all the people here. Need a true knight like you two. I'm sure, as long as there are you, the people here will feel safe" Darius said.

Hearing that compliment, the two of them felt somewhat indecisive. They were happy to be praised by Darius, but in reality the two of them were still not strong enough to protect this city. They are less confident, even though they are being praised.

"But, we both still have our flaws. Though we have reached Class S (the highest level of knights K.A.O). It turned out that all of that was still not enough for us to be strong enough to be able to protect this city. Protecting our cities alone is overwhelming, it is impossible for us to be able to protect the entire population in this country" Sebas said, lacking confidence. He doubted himself.

Suddenly and without hesitation, Darius patted the top of Sebas' head. Sebas was shocked by the shock he made. Olson reacted as well. Slowly, Darius' big hand rubbed Sebas' head in surprise.

"Don't doubt yourself and the knightly path you've taken. Rest assured, transcend your doubts. Remember, doubt is the beginning of failure. Keep going, be a true knight swinging a sword for those who need to be protected. I will always support people who bet their lives protect those who are weak."

Sebas was amazed, hearing that. The words he heard, as if removing doubts about himself and re-energizing his spirit and strengthening his determination. Although only limited to speech, but the speech gave an impression that imprinted his heart.

"T..t.thank you. I will strive to be a knight who can protect the city and the whole country" Sebas said with confidence.

Darius removed his hand from Sebas' head, then smiled broadly at him.

"That's the spirit of a knight."

In just a few minutes. Darius could be familiar with both of the S-Class knights. Because they have been visiting, Raven also invited the two of them to participate in the BBQ. Olson and Sebas accepted the invitation with pleasure.

"How dare you throw a party without inviting me."

Darius almost choked. Hilda and Jivan appear unexpectedly. They flew while lamenting Darius and the others were holding a BBQ on the roof of the Grand Mansion.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" ask Darius.

"I smell good when I go home from the supermarket. It caught my attention, so it followed the direction of the smell until it got here" Hilda replied.

"Then, you?" ask Darius to Jivan.

"Eh.., we are the same. This smell caught our attention. Apparently it came from you guys who were BBQ," replied Jivan.

Hilda came down to Darius and the others, followed by Jivan.

"Whatever the reason, I have to join this BBQ. No one can protest" Hilda said.

"Hilda, watch your talk. We're at the Director's man's residence" Jivan said, feeling bad for Raven.

"Seriously? can we join?" jivan asked, both eyes twinkling.

"Of course, the more crowded the better," replied Raven, half-heartedly.

The BBQ party is getting crowded. The nuances turned so festive. Though Raven made all this to enjoy being with her master.

"Yes, if this can make you feel good, I won't mind" Raven said.

The BBQ party continues...

...****************...

Without knowing what happened. Darius was confused. He found himself in a place so white and empty. As he remembered, just a moment ago he was eating in a BBQ party together with Raven and the others. But why was he now in such a hollow place. What the hell's going on?

"Where's this? is anyone here?!" shouted Darius. He got no response from anyone. He was alone in this strange place.

"How am I supposed to be here?" inner Darius.

At first glance, he saw the shadow of someone in front of him. The shadow slowly formed a faint figure. The more viewed, the more obvious the figure becomes. Until Darius can recognize who the figure is.

"I. that. Drakes..."

Darius ran to his sister, full of longing. Meanwhile, Drake was silent. She mourned her brother who ran over to her.

"Drakes!" darius shouted, as he accelerated his run.

Drake's lips moved, as if he was about to say something...

"Save them....,"

Darius heard his brother's words.

"They? they who? what do you mean, Drake?" ask Darius. His running speed is getting faster.

"Please, brother. Congratulations to them" Drake said a second time, accompanied by teardrops.

"Whatchu mean? who should I save?"

He still did not understand the words of his sister. Darius was still running to reach Drake in plain sight. Drake's form slowly faded, like dust blown by the wind. Darius who witnessed that, accelerated faster to the maximum limit.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. His sister's body had faded completely, before he could reach it. Darius felt shaken to see his sister disappear from his sight.

"Drakes!!!!"

...**************...

Darius woke up from his sleep, his heart racing and his body sweating all over. He found himself at the dinner table.

"How could I have fallen asleep, meaning that it was just a dream? for some reason, the dream seemed so real" said Darius. While touching the forehead.

He looked around him. He was still on the roof of the mansion. In addition, there is already Hilda who is sleeping fast by grasping a bottle of Vodka snake (the most popular hard drink in Tideo) in her hands. Olson and Sebas were no longer there. It seems they left while Darius was still asleep.

"Sister, are you awake?"

Suddenly, Mona appears from behind. He surprised Darius.

"You're this, suddenly it's a shock to me."

"I've been here since 20 minutes. When I arrived, my sister was already asleep" Mona said.

Realizing Darius' cold sweaty face. Quickly, Mona immediately brought a piece of cloth for Darius.

"Sister, you're sweating. This is for you" Mona said, giving the cloth away.

"Thank you."

Darius wiped all the sweat on his face. Mona lamented Darius for a moment, realizing that something was different from the man before her. The look on his face was so agitated, his breathing was breathless. This was unlike Darius' usual. What made Darius so breathless like this?

"You all right, brother?" ask Mona.

"I'm fine, I had a nightmare while sleeping. It's just a trivial thing" replied Darius.

"Oh.., maybe that's what happens when you sleep on a full stomach" Mona said, smiling.

"Maybe you're right. Next time, I won't eat much before going to bed" Darius said.

"Well, I'll get you a glass of water for brother."

Mona steps cheerfully towards the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. Meanwhile, Darius' mind was still ringing with nightmares earlier. He did not expect, the dream that became a sleeping flower would feel so real.

"Is it really just a dream?" inner Darius.

Drake's words in his dream, so strong in his mind. Even so, he still did not understand the meaning of his sister's words. "Please save them" that's what Drake said. Drake said that with great sincerity. Darius hesitated if this dream was just a sleeping flower. This dream seems to be a message from Drake for himself.

"Drake, what happened to you? who do you want me to save?" inner Darius.

Seriate.....
