One week later, Saturday morning.


August is still thinking about the events that happened to him. This bothers him.The mind can only be distracted only when near Julia.


tock tock. August's room door was knocked.


"it's not locked" August said.


door opened.


"Julia came looking for you" August's father said.


"wait a minute" said August.


Julia walks into the house.Seeing August is still looking for her clothes, August's father welcomes Julia.


"excuse me uncle I'm looking for August" Julia said politely.


"Come in. don't worry, the slacker's still in his room."


"Sorry I can't welcome you for long, I have to go to the factory" August's father said.


"good uncle thank you, said Julia.


August's father immediately entered his car and left. Both of August's parents were not people, his father was only a factory worker, and his mother worked as a chef in a small restaurant.


Julia found no luxury items inside the house, just a worn out painting and family photos on the wall.


August picks up the clothes hanging for him to wear, when a pair of hands hug him. he feels an electric shock something soft presses against his back.


"Hey who let you in?" august said. turned his body.


"Nothing" replied Julia.


"are you a thief?" ask August.


"are you going to report me to the police?" Julia asked back.


"No. I'll just punish you!" answer August.


"how did you punish me?" ask Julia.


August pulls Julia by the waist and kisses her, letting go when Julia has started


be out of breath.


"Is there anything until you see me this early?" asked August he sat on the bedside and threw himself down.


Julia sat next to him.


"do I have a reason to see you? I just want to be with you" Julia replied pouting


"forgive me!" August says.


Julia lays herself down next to August.


looking at the ceiling of the room.


"i wanted to ask you a question" Julia said.


"say!" answer August.


"our time by the lake why are you asking about the cave in Royan forest?" ask Julia curiously.


"i haven't been able to tell much for now, but I feel like what happened to me has something to do with the forest?" Julia said.


"what do you mean?"


"how do you know there's a cave in that forest, have you been there?" ask Julia


"i don't know, as I don't know Mr.'s documentation tool. Jeremy can be in my tent?" August says.


"You mean?!" Julia surprised.


"I'm not the one with the device!" August says.


"what? then who?" Julia was confused by August's statement.


"Your question is also one I want to know the answer to" August said.


reposeful.


"Alright, we'll find the cave both" Julia said.


"No. I'll look for it myself" said August


Julia pulled August's cheek to look at him.


"you think I'll let you go there by yourself? do you have experience? can you read the navigation? do you know what equipment to bring? do you know..."


"ok. ok. we're looking for both." said August can't stand Julia's mouth didn't stop talking.


"then what are we going to do now?" ask Julia.


"prepare supplies to go there" replied August.


"i mean, what are we 'going' to do now?" Julia with her naughty smile.


August raises his eyebrows.In response,****** Julia's lips.Smooth kisses slowly begin to heat up his hands guerrilla under Julia's shirt.squeezing something soft there, the kiss is soft, makes Julia even more crowded. August releases ******* his lips let Julia take a deep breath.


Julia had to accept another attack when August kissed her neck, her small kiss continued to descend plus August's hand that had moved guerrilla behind Julia's pants. Julia tried to hold on, she looked for a handle, she found it, under August's pants.


It was still morning, but the weather was very hot, making them sweat from exhaustion.


"Lady Lyra, a woman who claims to be named Oracle, wants to see you, she's waiting at the gate" a guard said.


"let him in" either chief.


The Oracle walked in the escorts of the two guards entering the temple.


"everything leave us" Lyra ordered.


Lyra waved her hand.The temple door closed by itself.she closed her eyes for a moment, then opened her eyes and then appeared a dome like transparent glass locked them both.


"Carrol told Gorran that he knew you were in this world, that one of his men even found your hiding place" Lyra said.


"He sent Logos, the boy was looking for me" said the Oracle.


"how could the crystal possibly choose a person from this world?" ask Lyra.


"i had my doubts, but what I saw frightened me, before the power entered his body the crystal formed three symbols of a shield, a phoenix and a Dark Elf!" said Oracle.


"By.. Dark Elves?" Lyra surprised.


"what does that mean?" ask Lyra.


"that's why I went back to proxima to ask the teacher, the teacher was surprised to hear it, we searched the ancient script, found only a few answers" said the Oracle.


"what's that?" ask Lyra.


"people knew once every thousand years that the crystal would choose a knight from the world of combatants, who they did not know that once every ten thousand years the crystal chose an unusual person." we also found a shield symbol in the manuscript.it was a shield of light" the Oracle said.


"You want me to find that shield?" ask Lyra.


"no, the shield will present itself.You are asked by the teacher to train the child before the shield appears" the Oracle said.


"what am I training him for? many talented people from this world train in this temple, but no matter how hard they train, it means nothing" Lyra said.


The silent oracle closed her eyes, suddenly her body floated, her eyes flickered.then her body went back in touching the ground.


"what are you looking at?" ask Lyra she already knows what Oracle's abilities are.


"i have to go" after saying that the Oracle's body turned thin, giving off light and then disappeared.


"It's not polite." If you're not my sister, I've hit you a long time ago. Lyra in her heart.


Royan city.


After a hot morning workout. August and Julia agree to search for the cave next week. August intends to see Mr. Borris to work back.in fact Mr. Borris himself was still worried about the tragedy that befell August, but August insisted.


"Alright if that's what you want, but I don't allow you to send the goods, while you'll only help move and sort the dots" said Mr. Borris.


"thank you boss" August said.


That afternoon August also began to work, sometimes he used a forklift sometimes also had to use both hands to move things. with a pleasant atmosphere and colleagues work completed faster. after giving a report and receiving August's farewell payment, Mr. Borris and others left the warehouse by late afternoon.


August walks to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water


Beeping..


August opens his phone.A few messages from Julia.


Rafael invited us to dinner at Golden Lane Restaurant.


is your job done?


I'll pick you up at the city park, let me know!


August replies to Julia's message.


Okay, I'll wait in the city park.


In the city park only seen a few parents who were accompanying their children to play. August sits on a park bench near the fountain not far from the entrance, where he sees a young mother persuading her two children to come home. the two children who looked like twins aged about three or four years old were running around as if running away did not want to go home and still wanted to play. August smiled seeing it.


Suddenly August felt his back cold, the atmosphere of silence gripping.he observed his surroundings, he saw a fuso truck lose control crashing into a roadblock sliding towards the park entrance to his mother and two children who were walking.


"AWAS...!" shouted August.


the two children were not aware of the danger in front of him while the child's mother was very fixated to see the big truck heading towards them.


In a split second August sensed the danger, he reflexively ran to catch the two boys.The oddity occurred.The truck was like slowing down.The fountain stopped moving, the radiated water floated down. some people were pecking, as if time was slowing down.he saw the mother was still fixated, suddenly there was someone pushing her.


After the mother survived the situation became normal again.The truck crashed into several children's game facilities.before stopping. The mother and her two children approached each other crying.


August now looked at a woman who was also looking at him. she looked beautiful, her hair was long decomposed almost to the waist. on her left hand there was a blue pearl bracelet. August reply.


"Wait" asked August who saw the woman turn away.


the woman stopped her steps.


"what's up" the woman asked coldly.


"there's something I want to ask you" August said.


"you'd better get your stuff before anyone steals it" said the woman.


"well, please wait here I'll be right back" August said.


when August wanted to return to pick up his belongings he was astonished, the distance from the park bench to where he had saved the boy was about twenty meters.


after he picked up his belongings, he searched for the woman but she had disappeared.he walked out of the park after police and ambulances arrived in the area.


tin..


sounding horn, August turns to Julia to pick him up.
