Last God
Empoh Story

Little Diu had not been able to close his eyes. He left the colony and crept out of the cave. A dim Goa that only relies on lighting castor oil torches. Diu thought, maybe after hearing his grandfather's story he got inspired and hoped to sleep with a great dream. Yesterday his grandfather told him about the great war and the glory of the nation.

"You haven't slept yet" said the Grandfather as soon as he found his beloved grandson coming with round eyes thirsty for stories and good dreams.

"I can't sleep Ke', I'm curious as to the story of Grandpa yesterday" said Diu while sitting close to his grandfather. Warm bonfire and Grandpa's smile greeted him.

"Well, where was yesterday?"

"Mmmm...? Until they parted ways with the family for training and prepared for a big war," Diu recalled.

"Oh yes," nodded his Grandfather and began to continue the story.

"Before going to the battlefield, King Calaghant performed the final ceremony and told Telik Sandi and the chosen soldiers to hide the magic books of our nation to a safe place and no one knew, no one knew, except-"

"Except who's Kek?" Diu looked excited and impatient to listen to his already frail grandfather's story.

"Except 3 Telik Sandi and 3 Elected Soldiers. They each held maps, memorized spells and held secret keys."

Calaghant led a farewell ceremony with 3 Telik Sandi and 3 Chosen Soldiers somewhere quiet. Not even a mosquito can reach it.

"The fate of our nation is now in your hands" said the king of Calaghant as he blessed or baptized. Touching the forehead with the palm full of affection after handing the keys and map to each of the 6 people.

The atmosphere suddenly suddenly, the King slowly flew. His black robe of greatness was like a hot air balloon that was slowly floating. The six chosen people were also compactly kneeling in a respectful manner. The ceremony was over, the King returned to the army, the six chosen men immediately flew off to perform the task.

Menos and Joup stood tall among the ranks of soldiers ready for battle.

"Anyone who does not follow the procedure described, will regret for life! That's also if you come back alive," said the commander of the army.

"Are you ready!!!"

"Geez!!" menos replied along with hundreds of other young men. Floundering. Kelalawar. So much so that the sky is bright so like a black and white tv that there are no channels.

"Remember, you don't stay away from me, Dad!" menos to Joup. Joup is still shaking. After passing through the occult gate built by the Partyized. Joup, Menos and others transformed into the figure of nine-year-old human children. While the human children they are captive turn into a dwarf/Hobbit figure.

The battalion in which Menos and Joup are on undercover duty enters the territory of the Atlantean kingdom and spreads deadly poison and kills as many enemies as possible.

"I've never killed a human. Let alone killing humans, killing frogs I have never been" whispered Joup to Menos. As the two began to enter the gates of the Atlantean kingdom.

"You don't have to kill people with your daggers, you can just scatter the powder and they die by themselves."

"Yes, but I'm scared."

Clean canals, food and drink stands and people passing by make Joup dizzy. He had never been in such a crowd.

"Great people are Nos, they can make a lot of food and drinks."

When the eyes of Joup and Menos are so beautiful, suddenly someone who passed by Joup hit Joup.

"Ouch! sorry, sorry!" chirp Raiman while trying to help Joup to wake up. But Menos and Joup's friends forbid Raiman.

"Already! Already, it's okay. Next time, you walk carefully" Menos said. Raiman felt something strange. The boys are so cute. The number was dozens and the clothes were the same, an oversize black robe with a head covering. But what made Raiman feel weird the most was, one of the boys said. Like the words of an adult.

"You guys should be careful. Still a kid at this hour!" serobot Tarjis.

"Had, had it," Raiman led Tarji away from Menos and friends. Tarji who is still babbling and still grumbling it managed Raiman take away. The Hobbits that resembled those boys stepped back slowly and regularly.

Sometimes Raiman turned his head and watched the movements of the boys. His movements are slow and often seem to whisper with others.

"It seems they are suspicious of us" whispered Joup.

"Here you go, just be normal, Come on!" take Menos with you while grabbing Joup's shoulder.

In the stands of the later contest, Joup was already very tense, at the sight of the head of the healers began to act in the middle of the arena and became the center of attention. Cold sweat ran from all over Joup's body. Menos seemed more rigid and calm full of confidence.

"Open your ears wide, Joup!" menos said to Joup who was getting tense beside him. The atmosphere in the arena began to cringe, the Hobbits' ears slowly buzzing and a second later, the commanding officer jumped and sprinkled the deadly powder in the air.

"Now! Go Joup!" Menos pulled Joup to jump and hover in the air with the other Hobbits.

Human attention is divided. An army of half-ape humans began to come crashing and showering the crowd with arrows, while on top, Menos and comrades began to spread poison powder.

"We succeeded Nos! We succeeded!!!" hatch Joup. Below, the ill-fated human being exposed to the poison powder was helpless.

"Hoss! The hoss!! We succeed? We succeeded!!!" glad the Joup. His eyes were glazed.

"Forree!!!"

"You're great Joup! You're great!" praise Menos while gnawing at the bald head of the Joup.

"Haha!"

The Hobbits danced happily on a mountain far from the battlefield. The battlefield began to flood because of the actions of the giants.

DUARR!!!

The sound of the mountain's bang shocked Menos and hundreds of other Hobbit youths.

Not all Hobbits know the core plans of their king. The core plan to exterminate the civilization of Atlantis, the Giant Nation, the Rawarontek and the half-ape human race.

The core plan that also nearly annihilated the Hobbits themselves.

the small mountains that were used as landing posts of the Hobbits began to erupt one by one. No exception, Menos and Joup mountain peaks incandescent.

"No! Seem like earthquake? How'this??" Joup's confused. Menos remembered something, he could not have survived if the mountain erupted. He also held his Ajimat tightly and his left hand grabbed the Joup's arm while casting a magic spell out of his body. He forgot to tell his friend. All panicked, all could not get out of the body or use magic to disappear.

Only Menos managed to use magic out of the body.

The mountain erupted and wiped out Joup and the others. No exception to Menos. Menos grinned in horror, seeing his own body scorched and reduced to ashes due to the fierce lava.

Menos who only live a soul without body also crashed due to heat waves and volcanic ash plumes.

The black sky and so heavy held the screams of pain of millions of deaths.

The exhausted menos crawled alone in the burning wasteland and were full of the smoke of death. Humans die, animals die, hobbits die, giants die, plants die. Only the exhausted Menos remained crawling alone among the fog. The world seemed to be destroyed and completely erased the traces of home and the memory of a Menos. Only wishful thinking and longing for Fionty kept Menos afloat and moving on.

***

"So? Everything dead, cake?" sela Diu's.

"Not all my grandchildren, can Grandpa continue his story?"

"Yes Ke' sorry." Grandpa continued his story,

"One day, one night. He continued to crawl and look for traces back home. He remembered his promise to his fiancee. He should go home. It's a promise, no matter what."

***

Menos can't be sure, it's night or day. Because the night was bright by the tinge of lava and the mountains continued to erupt. Menos can not be sure, because the day is dark by fog and dust.

Menos' soul seemed to find a direction. A village that was once peaceful, is now destroyed and almost flat on the ground. But Menos remembers, he passed through the ruins of the Hobbit house, then the river and the playground. This is Fionty village.

"But where's Fionty?" menos heart wondered. The stench began to smell, apparently passing Hobbit corpses. He strengthened his heart to examine the dusty bodies one by one. But nil, there's no Fionty corpse. Menos continued to move and finally reached Fionty's house which only remained ruins and no sign of life.

"Menos?" a gust of wind carried a line of raucous voices calling his name. Menos was shocked and suspected the sound was sourced in the back. Slowly Menos turned his head and it turned out to be Fionty. Fionty's shabby and lives only Soul. Just like her.

***

So that woman also has no body?" Diu again interrupted Grandpa Empoh's story.

"Well, both of them used magic out of the body when disaster arrived. However, both of them lived happily, even without a body. Both are our ancestors" said the Grandfather closed the story.

"So, once our nation had a body and lived in the same nature as humans?" ask Diu.

"Well, that's it."

"Then what about the fate of the 3 chosen warriors and the 3 Telik Sandi and the magic books?" Diu was still excited to hear the story.

"Grandfather is sleepy, we continue tomorrow night well."

"Alright Cake, Diu is also sleepy."

"Yes already. Here, sleep close to Grandpa."
