ORION

ORION
Discovery-White Powder


Everyone rushed to the blast site. But because the place was far from urban, they could only see it from afar.


Orion is empty. The last time he remembered was the face of the despair of many humans. An angry, crying face and various expressions were at a glance frightening.


The desire to help but on the other hand can not do that it feels like acting as an indirect killer.


Beyond the suffering he felt. His right hand turned into embers, and could no longer be extinguished. It is not painful but it is dangerous for someone who touches the hand.


“I found this while you were fighting Chameleon.”


The harpist showed white powder in a plastic bag that was very small in size. There was no smell but they both felt that the powder was no ordinary powder.


“What is this powder kind of powder that can make everyone crazy?” orion thought as he moved from the grass.


He looked at the dark sky without stars. Then walk somewhere.


“Ya may be. If true then this is the reason why he destroyed the place along with the slaves.”


“Keji once that guy. Next time I'll beat him right.”


“Freely you did that to him. You saw what happened when you hurt him so badly. He did not feel any pain there is a possibility because of this powder.”


“Yes, she's strong. But that doesn't mean he's the strongest. Because above the sky there is still the sky,” Orion said while looking at the white powder again.


“You still intend to find dead?” ask the harp player.


“Of course. But I have another reason, to beat Chameleon,” said Orion looking seriously at him.


“What because of those guys earlier?”


Orion nodded his head and said, “If you see many people asking for help but you yourself cannot help him. Between feeling afraid or even reluctant to get involved further, that's how you feel.”


Taps, tap!


They walked to the busway stop. Waiting for the sun to rise again.


“I just want to save the people I can save. At least spared the grip of Chameleon,” added Orion.


“Oh, yes? Why do you do such a nagging thing?” The harpist asked in wonder.


“There is no special thing. Let's just say, a form of crime prevention that can be overcome by the NED,” Organization said Orion.


“You're not even a cop. But only the director whose business went bankrupt because of the game of the top people,” quipped the harp player to Orion.


At 5 am, it was still dark and the city was in an uproar about the explosion. Orion and the Lute Player finally got off that path, they left before the person in charge would come.


Until the sun has risen. Some people had been waiting for the bus at the stop, after a while the bus had arrived. All the passengers seemed to be very surprised because there were naked people who entered the bus.


Well, although not completely naked but rather he wore a robe belonging to the man the harpist.


“Here seems to be tight,” whispered Karura.


“Do not be noisy. It was probably because I was stared at by them. Then, you're not in real form!” Orion.


Their eyes were always on Orion. Sometimes they whisper but no one dares to ask why Orion is naked.


Orion just sighed and hoped he would arrive soon.


“Don't think too much of someone else's talk. 'And they don't know what happened. The most important thing is to hide your right hand and not to get hit by his cloak so as not to burn,” whispered the harp player.


***


They arrived when it was noon. The harp player stops and leaves the white powder with Orion.


As usual, Arutala's house is always quiet. Unless there are some maids who are busy sweeping the lawn, cleaning windows and mowing weeds and watering plants.


Orion can't just appear in the form of a grown man. Maybe the house people will misunderstand and think Orion is a thief.


Taps! Taps!


The back fence is open a little. He hurriedly entered and jumped over the balcony of each room to go to the second floor to his room.


“Orion, have you gone home?”


Orion came in from the window and was surprised to find Mahanta in the room. It has shown such disrespectful attitude and appearance.


And Mahanta too. Didn't know that it was a grown man.


“Hah!? You must be pencu—”


“Sstt! It's me, Mahanta!” sahut Orion silenced Mahanta's mouth firmly.


Almost Mahanta shouted at Orion as a thief. Luckily Orion still had time to shut Mahanta's mouth.


“I'm sorry I suddenly left just like that. But Mahanta, there's something I want to talk to you about.”


Then he sat on the bed. While inhaling and exhaling repeatedly so that his emotions are much calmer.


“Then I will call Miss Gista,” Mahanta said.


“No. For now, not just. Because I'm sure he's busy enough at least to take care of a broken basement, right?”


“Then what do you want to talk about? It must have something to do with your departure this time Orion,” chirped Mahanta.


“Ya, right. Chameleon escaped from the previous place that even you yourself did not know where he was all along. But I was wrong for not immediately telling you, because it relates to my personal.”


“What? You've been to Chameleon's place all this time? How do you know where it is?” mahanta asked with a look of uneasy face.


“Calm Mahanta. That place is on the border between the cities of Y and S-Karta. But the place is already falling apart because it was blown up,” Orion said calming Mahanta down.


“Hah, you should have said,” said Mahanta sighed.


“I'm sorry. Because didn't say it first.”


“Then now do you know where he is?” ask Mahanta.


Orion shook his head and replied, “I have no idea. He was definitely after me for something. Possibilities related to the system he created.”


“Then that means he really only takes advantage of the weak and then pretends to build a palace with strong people,” muttered Mahanta with a wrinkled forehead.


Some time they don't talk anymore. The two bowed their heads deeply.


“Wait for Orion,” said Mahanta while looking at his face.


“Are you thinking about what happened to me? If it is true, then I will answer it because my body changed completely because of the Eternal Flame.”


Then Mahanta approached. He looked around his body. Feeling that Orion's wounds are getting longer and longer. And wounds like those sewing marks.


“This slightly eccentric injury I can't explain. But the change can be, because if I do not put myself in danger then the Eternal Flame will not develop or be easy to master,” explained Mahanta while leaning back, away from the gaze of Mahanta.


“I don't quite understand. Besides you looking to die with Chameleon, huh?”


Mahanta's words remain on target. Orion then moved out of bed. As he stood up, he felt dizzy.


Bruk!


His head was spinning so he fell. He hasn't been able to tell about the white powder, but Orion is unconscious.
