King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 42 Other Dimensions

I can't believe what's going on in front of me. For a moment I thought I would lose the person I loved the second time. I ran as fast as I could with tears, hoping that my running speed could save my best friend from the ferociousness of the earth's gravitational speed. Although in fact, no human can beat the speed of gravity that can not be calculated with certainty how fast the speed.

I tried to calm my mind, I would sacrifice my life to save Yua if it was necessary. However, I don't know if I can be on time. When my mind was at the weakest point of my despair, I realized that I was no longer in my world. No Yua fell in front of me. Not only did Yua disappear, but everything, there was no one here. It's just me, alone, without anyone. I'm ... totally alone.

I stopped my steps and watched my surroundings. The atmosphere was so dark that I could see nothing. It took me a while to adjust my vision so I knew where I was now.

After a few seconds of waiting, I began to realize that I was in the middle of a pine forest. The same forest as in the location we used to camp. It was just that the atmosphere was no longer day, but night. Even so, a little bit, I recognize this forest. So, I was still able to master and calm myself down to find out what was really going on, and why all of a sudden the atmosphere turned into this.

I immediately searched the tent where we were camping in hopes of finding someone there. As far as I go, I find nothing. Just the smell of pine is very pungent signifies that what I am experiencing right now is not a dream.

"Where am I now? Where are the others going?" I looked around but found no one.

"Yes!" I shouted loudly.

"Refald! Did you guys hear me?" yell again.

There is no truth, only darkness covers me. Even the voice of the beast I used to hear, was now noiseless.

"What is this place? Why is it so dark? There really is no one here."

I don't want to give up. I don't know where I am now, I don't know. I continued my steps while observing my surroundings. Until I can finally hear someone's voice. I stopped and tried to focus on my hearing. I'm looking for the source of that voice.

I followed where the sound came from. The closer it got, the clearer the sound was heard. I'm sure it must be Refald's voice. It seems he was looking for me too. I'm glad he finally found me. I ran to meet him even though I didn't know exactly where Refald was.

“I'm here, Refald!” I shouted, hoping that Refald would hear me and approach me.

I can still hear Refald yelling at me. Something strange actually. Refald should have heard my screams. As far as I could tell, he did not hear my screams. It's like talking to someone else. Refald's cry was like preventing that person from doing something.

“Fey! Just stop! Don't getthere? Listen to me!” refald's voice became clearer, and I began to see Refald galloping towards the dense pine forest.

There was someone in front of him, but why did Refald call that person by my name?

My gaze became even more fixed as soon as I found out who was the figure that Refald was following from behind.

That person ... he is me. I am sure of my vision. The clothes the girl was wearing, the hair and the way the girl was walking, were exactly the same as me at the moment. Not wrong anymore. Thatme!

If the girl who walks is me, then who am I here? Why am I two? I don't know what's going on right now. How could I possibly be two?

That question I can't find the answer to. Anyway, this is totally absurd. I was speechless, all I could do right now was observe Refald and the only me who was 500m away from where I stood. It seems, they were also unaware of my existence.

“Fey! Hear me. Stop right there!”

“Don't follow me! Go there!” the other me ignored Refald's call. He just kept moving in anger.

“I said stop! It's dangerous there!” Refald tried to get me but it was too late. The other me already passed the boundary line installed as a fence barrier during our activities in the middle of this forest.

I was surprised to see what was happening, the other me was suddenly sucked into a black hole as wide as my body just as it passed through the barrier. Refald tried to reach me and he was dragged into the black hole that came out of nowhere. In a matter of seconds they both disappear as they are sucked into a black hole that has begun to close.

My body immediately suffocated to witness this senseless astounding event. I thought the events I saw were only in stories or movies, but now, I witnessed for myself how my other self and the person I loved were suddenly dragged into a terrifying black hole.

How'this? Can they both get out?

I started to panic, but I also started to realize something that could explain the meaning of all this.

My position is currently outside the barrier set up to block astral beings from entering and disrupting our area of activity. If my guess was correct, I who was outside of this boundary line would definitely not be able to enter as well and to strengthen my guess, slowly, I approached his line and then tried to cross it.

Justright. My hand could not cross that dividing line, as if there was a large wall blocking my hand. That is why Refald and the other me could not see or hear my screams. I mean, right now I'm in another dimension. A dimension that humans cannot see or hear in the real world, and if anyone crosses that line, it will end up like Refald and the rest of me.

I don't know what to do now. The fact that I was in another dimension and the loss of my other self along with Refald made it seem like I lost my mind between believing and not.

Shouting is also free, no one will be able to hear me. I don't see anything here either. The events of Refald chasing me before he disappeared with the other me were the ones where I felt really upset when the seniors teased me because we were caught hugging each other. If my guess is correct, then what I am seeing right now is a fragment of my lost memory.

But the question is, why does that memory just come up now, when I'm scared to lose my precious friend. All of a sudden, these memories just popped up and left me confused as to which were real and which were not real.

I remember the first time I woke up in the morning. I saw a tree that Refald was resting on as he hugged me. I searched for the tree and found it. I began to walk towards the tree where Refald hugged me as we fell asleep.

I observed a large tree that was a bit different from the other big trees. This one tree has no branches, only lush foliage that grows in it. Even so, this tree seems most haunted among others. I could feel such a strong negative energy as I approached her. Like there is a special attraction that attracts my body to get closer to this big tree.

Just as I was about to touch it, suddenly there was a flash of light coming out from the trunk of the tree and I had to close my eyes to avoid the light and protect my face with my arms. However, the light disappeared after throwing Refald out to hit a tree in the aftershocks with my other body falling directly over Refald.

“Arggghhh!” Refald groaned in pain because his back hit a tree quite hard. Plus also the weight of my body that landed smoothly on his chest. The tub fell on the stairs, that's what Refald is experiencing at this time.

Refald could not move, but he could still make a sound, “It looks like he fainted. It's better than he realized. Thank you for your help.” Refald said to whom while hugging me.

I'm not sure what I'm hearing, but it looks like Refald is talking to someone I can't see and I hear his voice.

Who's talking to Refald? Why is he thanking you?

I still can't digest all this with my common sense. My whereabouts, my memories, this strange and frightening atmosphere. I don't even know what my friend's fate is. As far as I can remember, in front of many pairs of eyes, Yua fell from a height of approximately four meters. That was the last time I saw him before I was suddenly here. Somehow he is now, whether he is injured or not, I don't know.

The number of tense and strange events that occur, makes me no longer able to distinguish which is the real world and which is not. Now, to me, everything looks the same.

As I struggled with my assumptions, a flash of light again came and made me squint at once. For a moment I could only close my eyes so that my cornea would not be damaged by the light. However, after my eyes opened again, I was surprised to see that Refald was already in front of me with a million worries on his face.

I think I'm switching dimensions again.

I slowly opened my eyes to make sure that what I was seeing was not a dream. I felt Refald's hand in my hand, and I could immediately recognize this place. I was in a blue tent.

No mistake, this is my tent. It means I'm back in the real world.

“What happened to me?” my voice sounded weak and soft.

“You fainted while running earlier.” Refald explained anxiously.

Little by little, I started to think back to what happened.

“Then, how about Yua? Where is he?” I was trying to get up and meant to go out to find out how Yua was doing.

I was still so dizzy when I forced myself to stand up that my body almost fell down. Good thing Refald immediately caught me and sat me back.

“Quiet, darling ... Yua is okay. He's fine, he just fainted, just like you.“

I was a little relieved to hear that Yua was fine even though it was very unlikely to happen.

“You didn't lie, did you? How could he be fine after he fell from above?”

“I'm not lying, Yua did fall but she landed perfectly on the body of Epank.”

“What? Epank?” I don't understand what Refald said.

Does that mean the same as when I fell from the lightning and landed on Refald's chest?

“Yes, nimbly Epank ran towards Yua in order to catch Yua's fallen body. But it looks like Epank is not strong enough to hold the weight of your friend's body so he also fainted, and what makes me wonder is, why did you follow fainting too?”

I don't want to answer Refald's question. Let him find out the answer himself.

I was glad to hear that Epank was the one who saved Yuah. I don't know what my best friend would feel if he knew who the hero who saved his life would be.

I can imagine what Via looks like when he sees his girlfriend save another woman. I regret not being able to see the expression of that girl because at the same time, I also fainted and got stuck in a dream of entering another dimension.

“Darling, what's wrong with you? You okay?”

I'm afraid to hear Refald call me that friendly.

“Can you not call me that?”

“Why? Everyone must have called his girlfriend ‘sayang’, right? There is nothing wrong if I also call my fiancee with the designation, sayangg ... “ she grinned showing off her white and neat teeth.

I actually don't like him calling me that, but I'm so tired and lazy to argue with him. I was still stressed thinking about my short trip to another dimension that left me confused as to whether or not the event I had experienced was a dream. While on the other hand, I was happy, Epank was willing to sacrifice his life just to save Yua, even though there was a Via nearby. I don't know what Via is like right now. I imagine for sure his mouth manyun keeps reminiscing about the annoying events for him.

“Refald!”

“Hemmm ... what, Dear?” he brought his face closer to mine, making me even more awkward in front of him. But it's not the time to feel awkward in a strange situation like this.

“What happened last night? Why are we both outside the dividing line?”

The smile on Refald's face suddenly disappeared from my question. His face that he had brought close to my face began to stretch backwards.

Refald. It seems he hesitates between telling the truth or not. I just watched his movements.

“Tell me the truth, I know you're hiding something from me. When I passed out earlier, I saw many things that I could not understand with my common sense. I'm sure you know that, too. This is what you mean by the word ‘danger’ back then?”

Refald closed his eyes and began to clutch tightly at my hand. Slowly he opened his eyes again and stared intently at me.

“Fey, do you trust me?”

“To be honest I'm not sure, because I haven't got any explanation from you.”

“I know, but I hope you still believe me. I can't explain it here until I make sure you're safe. I don't want you to be shocked and depressed so the event you've prepared is a mess. You don't want that to happen, do you?”

I'm nodding. Refald's right. Regardless of all the events that happened, whether they befall me or those that befall my friends, I still cannot rule out the event that has been prepared with all my soul by all the friends of this PA member to be chaotic just because of my curiosity.

“Do not think about this problem. I told you that I would always protect and protect her no matter what. That's why I'm here, okay. Don't worry anymore. Focus on your activities. I'll always be by your side whenever you need me. I'll make sure as long as I'm here, there won't be any danger attacking you. Trust me!”

I smiled happily, eager to hug Refald but I was afraid that last night's events would repeat themselves. There's been a lot of embarrassing things I've done here. It's only been two days, but there are a lot of strange things that I have to go through. Staying overnight and another day here, I have to be patient and stay focused on this event.

“You don't want to hug me?”

“No!”

“Why?”

“Because I don't want to be dragged into that black hole again with you!”

Refald was immediately stunned to hear my words.
