LAST CLIMB (EPS.1)
22. Families

"Better you all get out."

The voice echoed throughout the darkness of the forest and was heard by all the creatures hidden there, as well as by Ki Idir and all his disciples.

Ki Idir gasped at the sound, not expecting his purpose to solve this problem secretly had to fail, but he also smiled not too surprised with the opponent he would face, and that means all the plans that have been neatly arranged become a mess.

Slowly Ki Idir and his students came out from behind the thickets near the gubug that became the place of worship of the devil, the gubug is just a cover because in it there is a vast underground room that becomes the center and hiding base of the devil worshipers.

"For a long time no see."

Ki Idir greeted the parents who called him out, who was none other than Mbah Kuncen, who became the forerunner of the cult, but different from Ki Idir, who was the founder of the cult, Mbah Kuncen appeared with a look of dislike towards who is now coming before him.

Without them noticing, from deep in the darkness there was a pair of eyes watching the two of them, and hearing all their talk.

"Damn it, what the fuck are they? why do they know each other?"

Beni felt annoyed that it seemed like she had been fooled again by the person who saved the three of them.

Feeling Beni endangering the three of them, Anita smothers Beni's mouth with her hands, hoping that her voice was not heard by them.

"Calm down first, we have to figure out what their relationship is."

Arie's voice was so slow that it wasn't very clear in Beni's ears, but even so, Beni and Anita understood what they had to do, and for now all they had to do was be quiet.

"How are you?"

Ki Idir tried to open a conversation between the fellow parents, who seemed to have not met for a long time.

"No need for pleasantries, I warn you, don't interfere in my affairs and my followers!"

With a firm greeting Ki Idir is not at all considered by Mbah Kuncen, and Ki Idir even immediately get a hard warning from him.

"Which is your business, will be mine too, meaning I will always interfere with everything you do."

Calmly, Ki Idir tried to speak carefully with Mbah Kuncen, so that all problems can be resolved properly so that there will be no more victims next, but it seems not going to be easy, he said, it's almost impossible, but Ki Idir will keep trying as much as he can, even if he has to break his arms and legs, then he will still do it in order to bring him back.

"Then I have to get rid of you!"

The eyes of the heart were completely covered by the devil, so that it did not care about anyone who blocked its path, even if it was his own family or brother.

Unbeknownst to Ki Idir and his students, suddenly someone attacked Ki Idir with a proper knife hit the neck, but luckily the attack did not cause fatal injuries, he said, just a small scratch that does not become a significant wound for Ki Idir, if he did not reflex a little dodge maybe his life has now been floated, he said, but Ki Idir did not immediately reply to the person who suddenly attacked him, as well as his students, in accordance with what his teacher ordered, they were forbidden to act rashly.

Danu grinned and looked at Ki Idir and his students with a horrible look, as if he was not like a human, or maybe he had become a human-shaped demon.

The three pairs of eyes that were still silent in the bushes were flabbergasted to see Danu with such a hideous expression, it seemed like there was no longer a human side in him.

"Here we are still guests."

Mbah Kuncen smiled with disdain to the three people who had been watching him from behind the bushes ever since, Ki Idir who did not know there were other people around them was astonished by what the opponent said before him, while Danu could already guess that they would come back to save Aini, the three men slowly rose from hiding and appeared, as they felt free to remain hidden, slowly approaching Ki Idir and his students.

"Why are you here?"

Ki Idir never thought why they were so desperate to endanger their own lives, but on the one hand he also saluted the sacrifices they made to help one of his friends who are now still threatened.

"Sorry Ki, we can't leave our best friend, he has to come home with us."

Those words appeared with full confidence spoken by Beni, making Ki Idir smile, he understood what they were feeling right now, he said, because now he is reluctant to leave people who are so valuable to him, even though the person has gone too far in error, but he still believes he will be able to bring him back on the right path.

Without them knowing Danu has prepared to attack and kill them all, but it seems Danu is after Arie first because he sees Arie's weak condition and he also has a personal vendetta against him.

"You better leave, there's no point in you being here, I'll never come back, because this is my world."

Mbah Kuncen warns Ki Idir for the last time so they do not have to face each other, but Ki Idir's determination has been unanimous to be able to bring his brother home.

Mbah Kuncen faced Ki Idir who was none other than his own younger brother.

KI Idir smiled, because for him the pigeon remained his family, and that meant he would not return without his brother.

"I'll go, once you stop everything, it's enough, your ambition is too high, we better go home and forget everything."

Ki Idir hopes that there is little conscience of his brother that is still left until he will return without the need to commit acts of violence that can eventually lead to casualties.

"Hahahhaahhahahahah, there is no turning back, it is too late, and even if there is still a way, there is nothing left there."

Hearing that, Ki Idir was downcast, a glimpse of the shadow of the past when they were still together in demanding knowledge just crossed it, until in the end something had separated the two of them, something had separated the two of them, which makes them finally take a different path in life.
