LAST CLIMB (EPS.1)
19. Seek

Seeing Beni who was only speechless to look at the incident in front of her, Anita ran up to Beni then hugged her, buried her face in the chest of the little field, Anita, and shed all fear through the tears that now fall soaking his beloved's clothes.

"Why is this Ki?"

Ki Idir who was surprised by the incident that could not be expected it only answered Beni's question with a head, he did not expect there would be casualties so quickly, he said, even before the war against the demons began, and all of that was completely beyond his expectations.

"The devil is indeed full of deceit, fighting him must be in the right way."

For a moment Ki Idir was silent to breathe a long breath which then exhaled slowly to make it calmer and also cover up the sadness and guilt of the incident, after all, it was he who had brought them into a complicated matter.

Ki Idir was still tinged for a moment to think of the quickest and best way to fight them, because otherwise, he was worried that the problems he faced would lead to another loss of life.

"We need to talk!"

Ki Idir takes Anita and Beni to the room where Arie is still lying, but before that Ki Idir ordered his other students to take care of the body of one of his students who died. Arie was still lying down, and the wounds on his legs and hands were slightly bleeding because after trying to force his body to stand up but still unable to because the wounds on his left hand and leg were quite severe, he said, he gets the injury from his fight with Danu and Beni, because Arie had previously fought with them both in different positions, as enemies and as friends.

Arie looked at Ki Idir, who entered with anxiety and shock at the incident.

"Rie, you better tell them about Ki Idir, let him and his students know what to do next, let there be no more victims."

Arie looks at each one of them, trying to round up his trust in the person he just knew, aware of Arie's doubts, Ki Idir smiles and nods to convince Arie.

"Before the story cave, the cave wants to know the state of Aini?"

Hearing the question from Arie, Anita and Beni looked at each other, then Beni shook her head.

"It's just what you said earlier Rie, the killer's potential was Aini who they've mastered, just like the rich you said."

Hearing that remark Ki Idir slightly understood the developmental condition of their current problem from the conclusion or assumption he was thinking about, he said, but Anita who does not know the story of Arie is increasingly confused and afraid that something worse will happen to her best friend, Aini.

In the end Arie tells everything he knows about Danu and the caretaker who trapped them on the mountain in great detail, so that Ki Idir can conclude about them and will regroup their plans tonight to solve everything so that nothing unwanted happens again.

"Now that you rest, I will have my students bring you food, so that you can recover faster."

After that Ki Idir came out to do the funeral process of his student who had been killed, there was sadness seen on the look of the old face, but he always tried to calm down to face everything, because after all this time is not the right time to complain, let alone give up. His current struggle has met a bright spot that will lead him to success.

"What happened to Aini Ben?"

Anita tried to find out the explanation of everything she heard from Arie's story, clearly reflected the worry on her face considering everything is not over and still not okay.

"It's still under their influence."

Beni only explained briefly about what happened to Aini at this time, but Anita seemed to have been able to guess what the meaning of her lover's words was, he said, because he didn't come back to ask more questions about Aini.

All were silent, there was no chatter from them, and it seemed that none of the three companions wanted to start a conversation.

"Rie, what do they really want to do with Aini? What's on the victim?"

Arie did not immediately answer Beni's question, not because he did not know, but it was hard for him to say it, without everyone knowing Arie had long harbored what he felt all this time, so far, and that is also the reason why Arie returned to his best friend to be willing to sacrifice their lives to save them all.

"Virgin' blood."

Arie shudders when he has to answer Beni's question, in his mind is now drawn someone who means for him to end tragically, by a cursed creature, while Beni just fell silent, while Beni just fell silent, he was already not strange with the horrors they would experience next, because reflecting on the previous events that happened with them, he said, while Anita has now returned to tears imagining that her best friend will end in a way that is unacceptable to her feelings.

They do love each other, but one of them loves him much more so that he does not hesitate to sacrifice everything, including the only life he has.
