After being calm, Sero checked the condition of his body and looked around again to ensure the real situation. The feeling of weakness in his body has now disappeared completely. And after Sero looked around, he realized that he was in the middle of the forest. Confusion swept through his mind and all sorts of questions started popping up in his head.
After being silent for a long time, Sero stood up and walked to find a way out of the forest.
...****************...
The air in the forest feels really cold. Fortunately, Sero woke up rather late than usual, so he could still feel a bit of the warmth of the sun shining on him.
The forest had such dense grass coupled with trees towering up into the sky, making the place feel foreign to him. Not that Sero did not know the name of the forest, but he realized that his residence was in a village that had several plantations and also mountains. However, he never knew or even saw that there was a forest nearby.
During the trip Sero thought about how he could suddenly be in the forest. He was so confused, because there was no explanation that made sense.
"Is this just a prank of my friends?" Inner Sero.
That was a reasonable answer for him to receive. But again the answer must be denied, because Sero himself has walked down the forest far enough that reinforces the fact that it is not a fad.
Various terrains such as uphill and downhill he has been through a lot, but he also did not find a way out of the forest. Because since this morning he has not eaten anything, now his stomach began to starve.
"Geez, why is it so far away, I'm hungry..." The inner grievance of Sero.
Finally after a long journey, like a gift from God, Sero found an apple tree that bore fruit. With a feeling of pleasure Sero came to the tree that bore fruit to eat the fruit.
One by one he picked the fruit without climbing it. The freshly picked fruit from the tree instantly, felt so sweet and fresh. The flesh of the fruit fills his stomach and the water from within the fruit removes his thirst.
He rested under the apple tree for some time, until he did not realize that the day had begun. He continued his journey to the end of the forest. The weather was getting brighter and hotter, indicating that the morning had changed.
Soon, he entered a place from a part of the forest where the trees were even more dense, the leaves there like an umbrella that blocked the entry of sunlight so that from the inside it felt quite cool. He kept walking in there. Until finally when he was getting deeper, he found a path that looked very bright nan glare. Which turns out that is the road that Sero is heading.
He walked towards the road slowly and casually as if enjoying the seconds he came out of the forest.
Unexpectedly, it turned out from the right where he stood there was a horde of stray dogs that were resting. The dogs were close enough to him. Calmly and without sound he walked straight ahead so as not to wake the dogs.
The closer he got to the exit, the more glare his vision became. Finally, when he was out there, he was struck by the sight of a vast prairie as far as the eye could see that was mesmerizing and was immediately stared at by it.
The sight immediately amazed him. Only this time could his eyes feel satisfied when he saw something. The flying birds make the atmosphere more lively. The gusts of wind made Sero even more comfortable. The air it breathes is so fresh and clean it is not polluted.
A few seconds after looking at the scene, Sero became convinced that he was somewhere far from his home. There is no place as beautiful as that around where he lives. Fret and anxiety began to arise in his heart, but he tried to resist the feeling so as not to panic by taking long breaths slowly many times.
After he calmed down and focused, Sero realized that now he was standing on a low cliff. The height of the cliff where he stood was only about a few meters from below. Sero walked near the end of the cliff, then he sat there hanging his legs to rest for a while while enjoying the view. Let go of all the disturbing thoughts and thoughts he picked up.
Calm and peaceful, that was what Sero was currently feeling. Until a few minutes later, from the north where the wind blows precisely to the right of Sero, seen from far away a group of people with a carriage pulled by horses was heading towards the direction where Sero was.
Sero planned to wait for them to arrive at his place to ask for help. But after he noticed more detail, it turns out there are irregularities in the group of people. Some of the men there appear to be wearing armor like in the 10th century and one of them also appears to be riding a horse.
Sero was confused about that bunch of people. He was also worried that the language Sero spoke with people was different. Until he decided to think of a plan where the people should help him. Eventually an idea came up.
"I hope it works." Said Sero who was ready to carry out his plan.
...****************...
When the men were close enough, the plan began.
His throw landed hard on his head. The dog wakes up and gets angry. The dog barked and growled at Sero, awakening the other dog.
Instantly, Sero immediately ran towards his seat earlier with the dogs chasing him from behind to give a reply. Sero had received an injury to one of his legs as a result of the scratches of one of the dogs that chased him.
When he got there, Sero turned to face the dogs on standby. Slowly and with a growl the dogs approached. Until one of the dogs jumped towards Sero with his mouth wide open to bite him, Sero quickly held a bite that pointed directly at his face with his left hand.
Sero thought his hand wouldn't hurt badly enough to be protected by a thick sweeter.
Just when his hand was bitten by the dog's mouth. Sero threw himself down, and he landed right in front of the group of people.
The horse nearby was surprised. In addition, Sero tried to survive the dogs that continued to attack him relentlessly. It survives by protecting the face and head area.
Seeing the incident, the three men who were there, immediately helped Sero with a weapon that they each held. Without hesitation they attacked the dogs, they kicked, hit, there was even one of them who strangled the dog with one hand then threw it back up the cliff. Without killing and without the need to use the weapons they held, they managed to evict and save Sero from a horde of stray dogs.
It turns out that Sero's estimate was wrong. Unexpectedly it turns out that the dog that bit his hand, had a very strong bite as well as sharp teeth. So that it causes tear wounds plus blood that continues to flow out.
Come one of the men wearing armor there to Sero. The big-bodied man came up to him and he held Sero's wrong shoulder, and he said…
"The zein de arimaru"
That's the word that came out of his mouth. His words sounded very clear in his ears. What he said was completely incomprehensible to Sero. Sero was speechless with a confused expression on his face. I don't know what to do and what to say. The man saw Sero holding one of his wounded arms. Soon, he took her into the horse-drawn carriage there.
There, Sero was met with a beautiful woman with blonde hair and long ears. Realizing that Sero's arm was severely injured, the woman immediately retrieved some equipment which she then used to treat Sero's wounds.
While the woman was busy treating Sero's arm, several times he had thrown a sentence of questions to Sero, but Sero did not respond and just remained silent with anxiety that stuck in his heart.
Seen from the look on his face it seems that the woman began to feel annoyed because she felt ignored by the person she was treating, Sero. After the wound in his arm was finished being treated, the woman again uttered a sentence of questions while looking at him.
"Athema oldiseo"
Those are the words he heard. From the beginning of his meeting with them, Sero himself did not understand the language they used. The woman continued to talk and question him until it became a pressure and made sweat run down her forehead.
All attention was on him. The people around me started whispering and wondering. Not wanting the situation to get worse, Sero tried to speak in his own language.
"I don't understand your language." Said Sero while staring at the people around him.
It seemed that they also did not understand the words Sero said. They were all astonished until the woman asked a different question.
But his effort is still free. Sero answered his question with the same answer. Upon hearing that, everyone there immediately stepped out of the carriage, leaving Sero alone with the items they were carrying in the carriage.
Sounds like they're discussing something out there. In the carriage, Sero could clearly hear their voices, but he did not know what they were discussing. He just sat quietly while holding one of his arms that had been bandaged in the hope that there would be no problem.
A few moments later they finished discussing. One of the men wearing armor who had helped him before, came in and approached Sero and said something to him while holding one of his shoulders.
Sero listened to what the man said, but just like before, Sero gave no response and just kept quiet. After he finished saying that, he came out accompanied by the entry of several women who had previously been in the train.
Moments later, the train finally made its way, heading south. There were many new sights he saw in the car. Because the shape of the carriage was like a tube that had no cover at each end, he could feel the wind blowing from inside the carriage through the place where the courier was sitting controlling the horse pulling the carriage. The roofs of the carriage were covered by a thick cloth that was held back by the wooden frame of the carriage so that inside it felt rather hot.
"Hopefully after this trip is over, I don't get in trouble." Inner Sero was full of hope.
Where will Sero be taken?
