Last God

Last God
Early 3 & 4


The sky is black as the dough of the Witch. The gloomy potion of despair.


People walked in rows, staggered like black ants. All have grim faces. It's a massive exodus of citizens of the world's largest archipelago. The government fell into the hands of the half-ape human race. Those who were worried and afraid of being made slaves chose to leave the land of birth.


Australia and nearby countries open themselves up in the name of humanity, the real humanity is now in question.


Among the shabby-faced and carefree people the children were running around. Maybe they thought their parents took her for a picnic. Among the little ones who knew nothing, Diu looked at the sky with his black eyes. Perfect black, clear with galaxy splash in it.


Diu and Vinvin join Roni's family to flee abroad. The worn backpacks of hemp fiber essence he shouldered with certainty. Now he was a knight on a mission to find the main book of his own people. Diu occasionally saw human faces and figures beside him. Again he found the similarities and the obvious differences.


"Grandfather, why our nation is dwarfed and squeaky," asked Diu the other day to Grandfather Empoh.


"Hehehe!" Grandpa Empoh chuckled while shaking his head.


"Alright, alright. Grandpa will try to answer.


Thunder fluttered, the cold wind shook the weak and shabby bodies.


"A long time ago, on the most sacred altar when the Creator created everything in pairs. Creation of day and night, temporary and eternal creation, creation of water and fire and everything. There was one angel feeling there was less. So he proposed the creation of dwarfs and giant creatures.


"Oh, so we and the giants are brothers?"


"Hehehe twin brother rather," replied grandfather Empoh as he chuckled again.


"Is there still a giant nation out there" Diu thought.


The wind grew stronger and the salty smell of sea water began to smell. Big boats are starting to show. Some are approaching and some are moving away in the vast expanse of the sea. The boats are many. Not far above it many heli-heli like black beetles flying. Some even carry a burden.


Diu's gaze was far-awed through the clouds, his hopes and dreams clearly beyond what he could do.

Midwives finally reached the village and unwind. He dropped himself in a shady yard. A deserted village. One two pigeons flew low and approached. Frog burik jumped from the gutter to the rock on the side of the road.

Lieutenant General Anwar was again summoned by the international community to explain the current situation. This is the third time he has fulfilled the call. He must have been asked to tell a story. Yes, storytelling. Humans have always felt that they are the only intelligent beings on the face of the earth. So that the story of the existence of the Giant, dwarves and others is only considered a fairy tale. Folklore is hereditary without authentic evidence. Then suddenly now man is faced with the reality of a great community, or a well-coordinated unity of a nation or other kind of intelligent being. Back the Lieutenant enters the courtroom and is ready to wake the arrogant human from a dream of good dreams.

Dul Karim opens the door to a mini van that takes him and his family. How surprised Ratih when he saw the crowded dock.


Two soldiers greeted them. But Dul Karim asks for time and leads Ratih to his own place.


"Ratih, sorry Brother, Brother actually does not work as a security guard," just got there, Ratih's heart and mind like waking from a dream. How not, a husband had been lying to her all this time. What then, what work was actually done by her husband. Ratih looked at his family not understandably served well by the soldiers like a respectable family or an important rich man.


Ratih seemed to know, if her husband wanted permission not to go across the ocean.


What job? What kind of interests made him dare to let his wife and mother's own children cross the sea. With a heavy heart, with a speck of tears Dul Karim said.


"You will be between and there too you will be guarded by dozens of soldiers. Brother must have followed," said Dul Karim with weight.


There was a look of disbelief, there was a proud look there was a disappointed look. And with all that Ratih left Dul Karim glued like a stone.


The wind is getting stronger, the rain storm is ready to be challenged.


Taupan and Fani get off the plane. Taupan's long straight hair fluttered. Strong winds. Wet wind which is a sign of heavy rain soon. Taupan breathed in the scent of the land of birth there was novelty and pride. Slowly Taupan went down the stairs to follow Fani, then Dias and his loyal followers.


***


Dul Karim's mind raged, though,


What if Ratih and his only child Dul Karim drown to the bottom of the ocean? Will he regret it for a lifetime?


***


Could Diu find the important book of his ancestral heritage and restore the glory of his people?


***


Can Anwar's lieutenant convince the international community and muster up power and take back the government?


***


Can Dul Karim defeat Taupan?


***


Can young master Hon build an invincible new kingdom?


***


Can Didan become a powerful and invincible immortal?


Didan was the last human to become an immortal.


Immortal Humans in the past were considered gods, so there was the last God.


But how was the process and journey to arrive and deserve to be called THE LAST GOD???
