Last God
You Are Him

"Now I remember. Well, I remember you were (?)"

"Mr Princess, why is the Princess crying," said Raiman slowly, slowly. Princess Kemala who held onto Raiman's shoulder tightly could only take a hiccup.

Raiman's breath was already so shallow, but he still wanted to babble.

"One of my ideals, I want to invite a woman who wants to be my wife to climb to the top of this hill. Look, this cave is so spacious and comfortable," said Raiman continued with a cough of blood.

"Why? Raimans!!! Open your eyes Raiman! You don't die!!!" cry princess Kemala while shaking the limp body of Raiman.

"But it seems, that ideal will never be fulfilled. Because in a moment, I, I will die" said Raiman. His eyes are back.

"No Raiman! You succeeded, you managed to bring a woman into this cave!!!"

"No, you're the Princess. You are no ordinary woman" Raiman said with a smile.

"Hik, what if I'm the King's daughter??? I'm a girl too! You're a smart man, you're the best man I've ever known! Please hold on!!! Hick! Hick!"

Princess Kemala hugged Raiman. At the end of his life, Raiman felt very grateful.

"When I decided to escape from the palace, at that time I intended to find you. You are my goal Raiman. Hick! I have no other purpose than you. I'm going to come to that market and look for you. I want to invite you to accompany me to leave this country. But, but it turns out that our destiny is so close, that we meet next to this canal. You're my destiny Raiman, Raiman? Raiman???" said Putri kemala with a soft tone. Raiman's warm body did not move anymore. Slowly Kemala let go of his embrace and touched Raiman's pale face. A pale face that was like a smile yet stiff. Kaku doesn't move anymore.

"Don't!!!!" princess Kemala screamed so. His soul was getting shaken.

The day was getting darker by the fog and volcanic ash that started to fall back kissed the earth. The princess crawled out of the cave. His eyes were puffy and his body was trembling. He looked around, the grassy ground that was torn apart by the rocks that fell from the sky. The mountains are running out of ammunition. Silent atmosphere. No noise of mountain eruptions. Kemala stood up and began to walk around looking at the situation. It turned out that at the top of the hill was not just him and Raiman. But many residents managed to reach the top of the hill. But none of them survived, or maybe some just fainted. Putri Kemala examined the bodies that were scattered one by one

Until the afternoon later, until his body was completely exhausted, he did not find a single person still alive. He sat down on a big rock and cried again. No matter the body is dirty and the stomach is empty.

The scent of Death, the fishy smell of blood and the terrified screams ringing in his head were indeed disturbing his soul. But finally, tired of making Kemala fall asleep with a sitting position leaning on a large rock.

The drizzle of the morning fell, as if the sky was in mourning. Kemala woke up because one or two drops of water soaked his nose. Nature had calmed down completely and Kemala was at a loss as to what he should do now. Buried all those bodies? It felt impossible, he himself was almost dead of exhaustion. Where should he step? There was no way he would linger at the top of that hill and enjoy the smell of corpses that were beginning to rot.

He remembered, his sword and his clothes were on the south side. There was food between his clothes. Kemala also moved.

Below, the flood waters that flooded and drowned the city had begun to recede. The end of a tragic civilization.

Jemari Kemala tightly holding with Bondan fingers. Remember, Bondan is very similar to Raiman. His memory was refreshed as Raiman grabbed him tightly and took him running while dodging the attacks of the half-ape humans.

"Is he the reincarnation of Raiman? Does reincarnation really exist??" thought Kemala along the way with Bondan. The world is so different. Iron wagons that emit smoke and noise, roads lined with black stone melts, ropes interlocked from pole to pole, from house to house and so on. He decided to shut up and enjoy the trip.

Wherever Bondan would take him, he resigned. He has no one else in this world. A world that is so different.

Bondan turned on his smartphone. Chat from Jerry immediately stormed in and a lot. Bondan decided to read it later. He also returned to his smartphone.

On the sidelines of his busy collection of fossils, Professor Erwandi greeted Lieutenant Anwar with a very surprising argument.

"What's? why that??"

"The further we excavate, the more fossils and pieces of megalithic stone are found. Incredibly Lieutenant, this place could be a haven of discovery" Professor Erwandi said.

"Look at this, it's a half-ape human fossil, it's a giant fossil, and here, you take a good look. This is commonly said by the name of jenglot," continued Professor Erwandi while pointing to a human fossil as big as wayang golek. His hair was long, his teeth and nails were long.

"Do you remember my story, the story you don't want to believe" lieutenant Anwar said, watching the Jenglot.

"About the comers from the sky, ancient world wars and so on."

"Well, according to sources I've come to believe in, this is, right now we are standing at the center of the Atlantean civilization that was destroyed by the great war. You said it yourself, it's a giant fossil and all that."

"I prefer to call it a natural disaster and the continent of Atlantis was destroyed by volcanic eruptions simultaneously" said Professor Erwandi.

"Well, why did the giants and the half-ape people gather here before the eruption of the volcano?"

Understanding that, Professor Erwandi was blown away. Lieutenant Anwar's argument has a point, too.

"You said yourself, the Giant ruled the southern hemisphere, the Hobbits to the east and the half-ape humans to the north and the humans, our ancestors here. In the middle of the equator."

"Well, it seems, we're going to linger in this place. Hm, if only Professor Himawan were still around."

"Sorry, who do you mean?" ask lieutenant Anwar.

"A friend, he was an expert in the field of Archaeology. But alas, he went missing while visiting a lab in Miami, ", Professor Erwandi said.

"It looks like what I'm afraid of has happened to him."

"Oh, that. You just focus on those fossils. Let's take care of the case. Don't worry, we've sent people. We're working on it."

Arriving at the terminal and making Kemala sit comfortably, Bondan called Jerry.

"Hallo! Jerry's? Well, are you sure?"

"When I give you the wrong information, come here soon, I want to talk a lot" Jerry said.

"Well, I also want to show you something, you will definitely not believe it" Bondan said, smiling and glancing at Kemala.

"What's that, I don't like guessing!"

Bondan again glanced at Kemala and spoke a bit slowly to the end of his smartphone.

"I found a living fossil, well, don't go anywhere,"

"Hey! just a minute Dan! Woy! what kind of living fossils??"

Bondan disconnects the phone and invites Kemala.

"Come, our vehicle is coming" pointed Bondan at a bus that began to pull over.
