"Zion...
You must be strong!
It's not finished yet... "
Dark atmosphere. But he could hear the voice clearly. Yeah, that's Zuka's voice. But where did it come from? He can't see anything there. There's only darkness.
"Hey. Are you going to give up now?
I don't think you're this weak"
Now another voice is heard. That's Avren's voice. But from where? Where're they? His voice echoed making Zion difficult to find the origin of the sound.
"Zion... I believe you're gonna save us"
Zuka is speaking again. What does all this mean?
"Zuka's... Aven... Where're y'all?" Zion called them. I don't know why he's panicking right now
"Help us"
Zuka's voice sounded raucous. That adds to Zion's worries.
"ZUKA!! " Shouted Zion. At that moment, he also fainted. His breathing hunted irregularly and his body was soaked in cold sweat. Zion tried to neutralize her breath.
He looked around. A place that was quite foreign to him. He was a little surprised when he saw someone beside him. "Di... Where'sme? " Ask Zion.
The brown iris man replied. "You're in my house. You passed out on the battlefield" Yeah, that guy is Rendrano Fryfer. One of the level 9 mages or arguably one of the strongest mages in the kingdom.
"So... That's so.. " Murm Zion. He remembers now. He fainted from exhaustion after taking out all the monsters on the battlefield. Didn't expect it to be like this. Zion was still thinking about how she lost Zuka back then. Zuka who suddenly pushed himself and precisely he who was pulled away by the chain belongs to Avren. If he had been more vigilant, this might not have happened.
Rendrano who saw Zion daydream became worried. "Before, I was Rendrano Fryfer. A level 9 witch. Your name is Zion, right? Are you okay? Is anyone sick? " Tanya Rendrano. The ruby-iriated young man stared at him.
"I'm fine now. I'm just... Thinking about my brother" he said. There was sadness on his face.
Rendrano hugged Zion suddenly. Zion who felt that was shocked. But he still chose to be quiet. After all, his body still felt weak because it had just awakened.
"I know you're pretty devastated about losing your family. Is he your sister? " Tanya Rendrano.
Zion is still silent. He took a little breath. I don't know why it feels warm and comfortable when hugged like this. At least he had felt some warmth since he was in this world.
"Let's not let him know that you're not from this world. Better keep it secret about that. " Nero said arriving. Yeah, there's a point. He better not tell that.
"Yes, I think of him as my brother. " the answer.
Rendrano stroked Zion's head. "assume it? Does that mean he's not your real brother? "
"You could say so. I met him on the way"
"On the way... Are you a wanderer? "
"Can say that. "
Just that answer alone was enough for Rendrano. That explains what happened.
"Sorry, may I ask? How long... I fainted? " Task Zion in a slightly slower voice.
"You fainted for about five days." Zion who heard that was shocked. Five days? He was unconscious for five days? Just be right!
"I was unconscious for five days? How can akh.." His words suddenly stopped when he felt a pain in his head.
"Pst... It's all right. You're still tired, aren't you. Better get some rest first. Your condition is still weak, do not move much first.. " Say Rendrano and stroked Zion's head again. The ruby iris boy said nothing more. His head is really hurting right now. He better rest now. Rendrano also decided not to ask any further for now.
Shortly after, he felt the breath of the child in his arms was back in order. The boy fell asleep again. With a heart, Rendrano put Zion's body in bed. He looked at the innocent face of the boy. His hand moved rubbing the cheek of the boy.
"You seem to have experienced a lot... " Say her. He sighed a little. His memory was again focused on what was happening on the battlefield at that time. If it wasn't for him, he would be gone by now.
What's more, what the boy did. Such a great power. It was obvious that she was no ordinary witch. There were many secrets stored in the child before him.
"From your magic... It's the greatest magic I've ever felt and seen. It's just that your control technique is still not very good. I will train you when your condition is getting better. Before that, rest... " She said and kissed the boy's forehead. After that, Rendrano left Zion.
But soon, there was an 8-year-old girl who jumped a little jump while humming. However, his footsteps came to a halt while he was in front of the door of the room Zion was sleeping in.
With her innocent face, she stared at the astonished figure who was asleep. "Whose brother is this? " Task Yanata with a pretty adorable tone of voice.
"Is this brother sick? " Say Yanata and put his palm on Zion's forehead. "It's not hot... But.. Who is this brother?"
Out of curiosity, Yanata began to find out who that person was. He watched her from the right side, left side, up, until back and forth around the kaur but he found nothing for him to answer his curiosity.
Until the moment Zion opened her eyes slowly, Yanata immediately noticed her. The ruby-red iris of the eye began to be seen from behind the eyelids covering it. Yanata who saw that was amazed, as this was the first time for him to see someone having such a ruby iris.
"Gee... Real pretty... " She said. Zion who saw Yanata so opened her eyes was surprised. How not? Open your eyes, look at the girl's face. It's pretty close again.
"Ka... You who? " Ask Zion.
"Ah sorry brother!! L'm... Yanata Fryfer's. Sorry to wake up my sister! Yanata was unintentionally! " Said Yanata while bowing his head slightly feeling guilty for waking up the person before him.
Zion who saw Yanata's expression also felt guilty. "Ah, it's okay. My name is Zion Revael. Greetings" Zion said. He tried to get up, but was immediately restrained by Yanata's tiny hands.
"No need to wake up. Brother must be cape. Just sleep yes..." Yanata. Zion chose to follow the words of the little girl before her.
"Why can't I be here? " Task Yanata again.
"You... His daughter Rendrano yes.. Your father brought me here from the battlefield" he said bluntly.
"Well!! Then brother also went to war! Cool! What was war like? What cool? Brother wants to be my sister? Big sister is really pretty" Yanata directly pollinated her with a question. But wait, that last word. Whahuh? He said Zion's beautiful? He's a man!
Yep... This girl is still innocent... Beautiful huh? Shouldn't he be handsome? "I-i... Um.. You may. " Say Zion a little embarrassed.
"Sister's cheeks why red? " Blush... Actually aggravating! Looking at the cute face let alone those adorable big eyes...
"So now I have a sister! Yay!!! Oh yeah, where's the big brother's parents? Where did my sister live? " Task Yanata again.
Zion looks a little pensive. "My parents... Already gone. I'm just here alone. I don't have a place to live." The answer.
Yanata clasped Zion's hand. "So, you live here! Yanata is lonely here sometimes. Big brother can accompany Yanata. Yep!! " His voice was bright with sparkling eyes.
"alright.. Thanks though. But... Did your father allow it?"
"Dad will allow it! My mother is no longer there either. So Yanata is just like Dad. But if there is a sister, it must be more exciting! There are a lot of good people here too! "
"alright... Thanks again, yes..."
"Hm! Same with Brother Zii!!!!" Said Yanata and hugged Zion's body. "You brother is better, Yanata will take brother to the road"
"Now you can." Zion's trying to get up. At least the dizziness has decreased.
"Yey!!! But you're sure it's okay?" Yanata asked to make sure. He was a little worried to see Zion's slightly pale face.
"I'm okay." His words convinced Yanata. After all, he was also quite curious about the situation around.
But as they walk out of the room, they meet Rendrano. "Eh, Zion. Where you going? Is your condition better? " Tanya Rendrano.
"Sir Zii is better! Yanata wants to take Zii's way! And... Ayaaa... Yanata wants to be brother Zii Yanata's brother can't?" Yanata asked with a tone of voice made and sparkling eyes. Really adorable.
"Yes okay. From now on, think of us as your own family... No need to hesitate" said Rendrano and rubbed the head of Zion.
"Ti-No need. I'm fine" Zion replied rather nervously.
"Take us as a family. I think of you as my own son... From now on you should call me Dad." Rendrano said with a smile.
"alright. Thanks much... "
"No need to thank. I'm the one who should thank you for saving my life"
"same. I did it with sincerity" Zion said.
"You're a really good kid... Yanata, take your brother to see this place huh... Be careful" Rendrano said.
Yanata also saluted. "Ready dad!" He said and drew Zion's hand. "Come brother!" Zion and Yanata left. While Rendrano only looked at the departure of the two children.
'His condition recovered quickly. But I'm still worried. I have to protect the boy' his inner self.
