Mystery of the Book of the Air
Ancient Heirloom

"Mother....!! Mother....!! I'm afraid mom.....!!"

"Oh son....!! Go hide near the lake quickly..... I'll catch up with you later.... You have to beat him, baby.....!! Run on! Run fast..!! Quick run!!"

...******...

"Haaaa......!!!!"

It turned out to be just a dream, the flashbacks I saw while inside the castle, started to enter my dreams! But strangely enough, the picture became clearer and more real.

The still dim morning light began to hit our tent from the east. I woke up slowly from my place and looked around. The bonfire last night was just ash and charcoal, the sound of birds began to sound oceanic. It looks like a different forest than the one we saw yesterday. But there's no one here, where are they going?

"Yin...!! Are you awake? This is me bringing you water." It turned out to be Dani's voice shouting as she ran to bring me the water bottle she had filled.

"Thank you Dani.... By the way, Ibu Hani and Feni where is it ?"

"Hani's mother said that if she wanted to go inside the castle to see something, I didn't know she wanted to see it there either, but Feni wanted to come inside too!" Thank God Feni is fine, I was very worried about his condition last night.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? It's bread, it turns out I have food in my bag hehe, I forgot it turns out I brought bread..."

"No papa, I'm not really hungry, eh! But the condition of Feni's arm has been light?!"

"So, Ms. Hani cleaned the wound and bandaged Feni's arm using a bandage from the P3K box she had in her bag"

I was still a little worried about Feni's condition, I was afraid that something bad happened to him after Parakang attacked him. As I was pensive, I recalled the dream I had seen while asleep last night, I remembered the word that the dancing woman had shouted to her son to hide, to hide, a location that might give us further clues as to what has happened in this place.

"Dani, I had a dream last night, and this dream is similar to the flashback I saw in the castle when Feni and I saw the painting of the dancing lady. I saw the woman dancing while crying, the moment I saw the flashback, I couldn't hear the words she said! But last night I heard him yelling at his son to run to hide by the lake."

"Huh?! Flashback? Dancing lady?! Little boy?!! What do you say to Jina?!.." Naturally Dani was confused like that, he had absolutely no idea what I saw all this time, only Feni was the one who understood and knew everything I felt.

"Gini Dan, I want to tell you this, but I often forget because our position is always in a state that is not conducive. But rest easy I will tell you what I saw from the beginning we started this thing until now!" I also told Dani everything about what I saw and experienced during this search, from the appearance of the candle-carrying woman to the flashbacks I saw yesterday.

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning of Jina?! It's even a clue we can use to find out more about who and why Sam could disappear!"

"I think it's all just a hallucination and, I also think that if I can solve it on my own with the clues we've got, I don't want to burden your minds, we've been devastated by Sam's disappearance! So I don't want to make your thoughts more messy" I really don't want to make my friend miserable, if only I hadn't told them back then about the Air book I found in the woods! Maybe they don't need to be in danger like they are right now.

"Yin...!! Oi!! Wake up, me. and Feni are your best friends! We gonna end this together okay?! Don't feel alone, do you think me and Feni will let you suffer alone?! Looking for Sam's whereabouts we might not find him right now! The three of us are together looking because if only one of us does, maybe that person can't get this far!"

"Hmmm.... You have a point Dani, I should be grateful to be able to do this with you all," I said, drinking water "but remember we must be careful when we move on to the next clue" I continued while closing the bottle that Dani gave me.

"If so, we wait for Mother Hani and Feni to come out of the castle and then we go to the lake where you said we were" Yes, maybe we should go together. I was worried that something unwanted would happen just like when Feni and I got lost in the castle.

As I waited for the two of them to come out of the castle, I went back to look at whatever we had found. There is the book of Pudara that is the key to all this, the gold ring, saloko, and also bosara. Honestly, this item takes up a lot of storage space for our luggage, but we also can not if not bring everything, just in case these items are not lost.

...****...

An hour had passed since Mother Hani and Feni entered the castle. And they finally came out. "From.....!!" I shouted while running towards Feni.

"Yes....!!" We both hugged each other in tears, I felt so guilty, because my attitude Feni was in danger.

"I'm sorry, Fen, if I hadn't told you that I'd given up on finding Sam, you probably wouldn't have had to get hurt last night"

"No Jina, it's also my fault, I was too selfish and childish, to leave you and end up bothering you with my behavior" After I had a conversation with Feni, I told her and Hani's mother to go to the tent, because there was something I wanted to tell them.

"Gini Fen, Mom.... Last night I had a dream about a dancing lady and a little boy that I saw in Fen's castle yesterday, we remind you?"

"Remember Fen remember....! Why why?"

"So I got a location that might help us to get a further clue as to what's really going on right now" In the midst of me talking, I said, suddenly Mother Hani took out an object from her bag, and it turned out to be a gold necklace and bracelet, an object that we had to get to fulfill her ritual later

"This is what you're looking for, isn't it?"

"Yes Mom....! This is what we're looking for" Dani said as she brought her head closer to the object held by Ms. Hani.

"So..... Mom and Feni went inside to get this thing?" Much

"Yes Jina..... But there's a reason why Mother also brought Feni into the castle, this is because Feni is a descendant of the dancer you see in the painting, commonly called I Timoq! He was a Sandro or royal shaman at the time of the chaos, only Mother did not know the continuation of what happened at that time, because I had to quickly collect all the heirlooms and hide them after I's daughter 'Apaliaq is dead" So Feni is the descendant of the dancing lady?! The Timoq?!

"So surely you also ask why I can know Feni is the great-grandfather of I Timoq right? When you were all sound asleep last night. Mother touched Feni's head, suddenly I Timoq's face appeared in Mom's vision at that time. She just said a sentence, the sentence was 'keep my grandson well' that's when I realized that she was a descendant of I Timoq" Mother Hani stopped for a moment to tell her to drink water.

After he finished drinking, he then continued the story "Mother brought him inside because only he was able to open a special heirloom for the I Timoq family. Well, the gold necklace and bracelet that is the heirloom of the I Timoq family. You need to explain, all the heirlooms that you hold have their own owners, if you explain here probably will not have time, then, so the important thing is that you already know that you are holding something that might be dangerous for you.

This heirloom turned out to belong to some people?! So it turns out there are still many things we do not know about what we are dealing with, even the objects we have been holding just do not know exactly what is stored behind it!!
