A half-beast woman, like a zebra, invites the new group to clean up before they go on a mission. Kiarra, meanwhile, joined the rebels and General Gom discussed strategy.
They speak the language of the land of Kaa. Translation. Kiarra uses mixed language.
"Hem, I understand," Kiarra said after the closed meeting was over.
"We set out when the purple moon shone. Our vehicle was only ready at that time" General Gom said and was embraced by Kiarra.
Apparently, the cave has many hallways and rooms even though there are no doors. There are some makeshift items as a complement to the needs while hiding there. Kiarra could not imagine, how the people lived in fear because the King did not hesitate to be cruel with the punishment of feeding to the monster Grr. Kiarra looked like a daydreaming person with her hands stroking her stomach which was still flat in silence. Dra realizes that Kiarra is thinking about the safety of her baby in the womb. Even though the body really belongs to the brother, but the spirit belongs to someone else. However, Dra felt that the child Kiarra conceived was a descendant of his family and should be protected.
"Kia uh I mean ... Ara," call Dra to correct his words just now.
"It's okay you call me Kia. My name is indeed Kia," replied Kiarra casually who was aware of Dra's arrival.
The Vom Witch smiled and walked over.
"I don't think you should be involved in the battle against Tur. I had heard the confessions of the princess and the prince when we gathered earlier. They say that the king does not hesitate to do evil. He's like Ark, not compassionate. I'm worried about your content" Dra said earnestly.
"I know," answered Kiarra, turning her face away.
"Then why do you keep fighting?" ask Dra wonder.
"Lost the tour I haven't cleared up yet, Dra. I want to finish quickly," replied Kiarra as she stood up slowly from where she was sitting.
"What if you miscarry? Can you hurt your son?" ask Dra who made Kiarra flinch for a moment.
"Then, what do you want me to do? Retreat from the mission given by the Dragon?" asked Kiarra screeched.
"Pending it."
"What?"
"Pending until you give birth."
Kiarra exhaled a rough breath. Somehow Dra's request was contrary to his thinking. Dra approached Kiarra who was turning her back because she disagreed.
"Dragon must understand your condition. Your family can wait too. However, the baby in your womb can't be sacrificed just because of someone else's interests. I've talked about this with the people of the Tour and they agree with me" Dra said, standing behind Kiarra.
Suddenly, Dra's speech made Kiarra flip over her body and look at her intently.
"What's that about?"
"They agreed to postpone the assault as planned. They will flee to Vom until it is declared that you are ready to fight alongside the rebels. That's because, the task of the Dragon can only be done by you. You must kill the King of the Tour" said Dra.
Kiarra's view is uncertain. He seems confused about this. As the woman's mind was buffeted by many considerations, several people entered the room. Kiarra stared at the arrival of the group of half-animal humans as well as his group intently.
"We can understand your concerns, General. We all know, if in fact stay a little longer your struggle to create peace. It's just that, if you get hurt, this is even bad and can endanger all. We agree with Dra's plan, and hope that you agree with it, too" General Gom said.
"You guys .. agree, to back off for some time until I give birth? Really?" ask Kiarra to make sure.
Those people nodded with smiles. Somehow the feeling of relief and annoyance mixed into one in Kiarra's heart. However, Kiarra, who did not want her future baby to be injured, finally followed the advice of those around.
"All we have to think about, how do we get out of here and get to Vom without having to deal with the Tour fleet?" kiarra asked raising both eyebrows considering that they were besieged if they returned to the ocean.
"Newspaper?" kiarra asked repeating and the people in front of her nodded with smiles.
Kiarra was brought out of the hiding place as the moon turned purple. It turned out that the region was blending with the sky so that everything looked as color. Kiarra was given purple upholstery clothes to cover her figure. Gom said the place they used as a gathering of rebels was sacred territory. The swamp area is where the humans in the Tur Works were burned aka a cemetery. The ashes of the corpses had fused with the marshland. Of course, this made Kiarra and the others quite horrified after hearing the confession. They were like stepping on the bodies that were in the swamp even though it had turned into mud.
"Oh, there's a pond" Kiarra said as they had exited the swamp area and walked into the forest to a place where there was a large pond.
Kiarra was asked to walk on all fours so that his figure was covered by a tall bush. Kiarra and his herd followed the instructions until they arrived at the edge of the pond. Gom asked that they put their heads in the pool water. Kiarra and the others were confused, but ended up doing just that. Instantly ....
"Emph!" kiarra shocks him until he almost chokes when a figure appears that looks terrible for him because it is like a jellyfish man.
Lon and the others were shocked. They rushed out of the pool and away. As Kiarra, her eyes remained focused on that transparent-shaped figure that was moving slowly closer to her. Kiarra who was able to swim, stared at the figure fixedly, resisting fear and a great pounding in his heart.
"Blub .. blub, bub bub!" gom said as he moved his finger in the water.
Kiarra looked at the movement and looked at the jellyfish woman in front of him.
"You ... Kia-rra from Vom, blub. I saw what you were doing with your herd while at sea heading for this place. I can see you got a blessing from a dragon, blub. Therefore, the herd and I participated in the act of rebellion for the freedom of the land of Kaa from the unjust kings, especially Tur ..," said the figure who spoke very slowly and appeared bubbles when speaking.
Kiarra nodded with a smile. Unfortunately, he could not hold his breath any longer. Kiarra let out her head and took a deep breath. He saw people staring at him.
As Kiarra was about to insert her head again, she noticed the movement from the surface of the water as her unknown jellyfish woman swam. Kiarra's forehead wrinkled and immediately put her head back in the water. He looked at the poor woman who had turned into half a sea creature, swimming away from nowhere.
SPLASH!!
"Huh, huh, where did he go?" ask Kiarra curiously.
"He can't linger in this pond because. Among all of us, the people who were on the shores of the sea and worked as fishermen, were affected most horribly. The water was exposed to Grr's poison and it turned them into that. They cannot go on land and live in the water. Every now and then they come to the surface to breathe and hear our stories about developments on land" Gom explained as she dried her wet fur with a cloth.
"Is .... Grr poison still contaminating the water in the Tour?" kiarra asked worriedly considering he was splashed in the sea at that time.
"Looks not. That happened years ago. At that moment, everything went green. The moon was purple and red to the point of being invisible due to the thick green mist. The water, too, turned green. Those of us who do not want hunger and thirst, of course, eat anything to stay alive. But it made us become like this. However, the good side is. With the abilities of the animals we have, the senses become sharp and can tell the danger is coming" General Gom explained.
"Yes, I saw that the food and drinks you were serving were already looking normal. That means, Grr's poison is gone? It's just, can't make you guys go back to how you were. That's how it means?" ask Lon curiously.
"Hem, clever," replied the Prince as he pointed to the Zen magician.
"To be more precise, we are cursed. All the citizens of the Tour turned into half-beast humans, without exception. That's because, I myself examined the people one by one, including the King," Boh added.
"May I know? King ... turned into what?" ask Kiarra curiously.
"The most terrible thing that ever existed in the land of Kaa. He ... is like the devil. I don't see my father's soul there. Evil has taken her heart" said Princess Xen looking sad.
Everyone is silent. Kiarra could see the sadness in those people. They are cursed and do not know whether they can return to being human as they were or not.
