ORION

ORION
Border II


The fact that he could not realize his desire to die was hindered by the daughter Chameleon now kidnapped. With such a heavy excuse, Orion required himself to resist the urge to die. And heed what Dr. Eka.


“Don't say that again, Orion! You don't have to die. You came back to life because this is his destiny, so just accept it!” endaru chuckles in disbelief that Orion thinks it's easy about his own death.


Drrrt!


Orion's phone suddenly rang. As soon as Orion came out of the inn, he picked up a call from Mahanta that was even almost midnight this evening.


“What happened? Where are you? Let me pick you up, send me the location.”


His voice is not clear, sometimes rustling to know what the real sound is. But after a while, Mahanta finally spoke.


“[Orion, I found the place you were referring to.]”


“Mahanta? A spot? Did I just send you something?” Confused by Mahanta, without closing the still connected call, Orion opened the last message.


A message from Orion himself was sent to Mahanta, inscribed with the location where the harp player appeared 3 months ago.


“Ah, I understand. Please explain. Waitaminute! You there?!” orion's screams were instantly shocked.


“[Of course I'm where you mean it. I happen to be near the border because of a lot of things. And is it true there's a Chameleon colleague there?]” Mahanta asked.


“That was 3 months ago. And he's already betrayed, Mahanta.”


“[Yes, whatever it is. I am now on dry land, here are many corpses.]”


“Who told you to leave this night. Better get out of there.”


Orion asks Mahanta to leave immediately because it is late at night. The hour hand is almost touching the number 12 now, midnight is coming.


However, Mahanta said, “[It was too late to tell me to leave. Besides I'm tracking him if I can?]”


“Mana could possibly. It's already night.”


“[On mobile phone there is also a flashlight.]”


“I don't mean that, Mahanta.” Orion then took a deep breath, it felt like Orion's mind was getting heavier and heavier.


Just the thought of Mahanta going there alone gives Orion a headache. Many times Orion warned him because of anxiety if something happened then Mahanta will be difficult when asking for help there.


“[Quiet only.]” But Mahanta's answer remains the same.


“Mahanta, are you still there?”


When Orion asked him to speak again, Mahanta did not hear the answer this time. Silence is sometimes heard the voice of the creatures of the night in some time.


“Mahanta?”


“[Orion, bzzt! Ki—]”


Momentarily Mahanta's voice appeared and also a sound like a broken item was heard alternately. Orion felt strange about it, until the call between them was cut off.


“Out again signal?”


The signal mark on Orion's phone is half gone and then completely gone. Orion initially thought that the sound was due to the signal but once Orion got back in touch after the signal appeared,


No!


There was no Mahanta sound at all, there was only a sound like an item thrown away and then disconnected the call again.


“Why with Mahanta?”


“Nothing. It's just that I was contacted by Mahanta because he found the place. But somehow it seems like something is strange,” explained Orion.


Orion still doubts what really happened to Mahanta at this time. He kept thinking calmly, that this happened only because of the signal and conditions that were far from where Orion was now.


“You mean he went alone?” endaru asked, he then went out jumping over the window.


“Do not origin jump from the window, it is dangerous Endaru.” Orion warned, giving advice like a parent.


“Alright, alright. I won't repeat it,” said Endaru.


“You remember that place the Eclipse told you about? The place where he found Chameleon's partner 3 months ago. That place said a lot of bodies, Mahanta told me.”


“Eh? You mean there was a massacre or something?” ask Ender is surprised.


“I don't know either. But my gut feeling is bad about this,” Orion said, he looked up at the sky.


“That feeling again? Looks like the blood was useful once, yes.” Endaru.


“Yes, very useful. It's so useful a lot of people are after. And again considering there's some people at the Undergrowth auction who know about me. Whether they remember it or not,” chirps Orion staring down.


“We are not part of this country. It was certain that they would continue to pursue the same as the Phantom Gank. Well, if they remember anyway.”


“You, go inside, Endaru.”


Orion then walked away from there. Endaru hurried after then asked, “Where do you want to go?”


“Don't go at night, Orion!” peekkik. Eka from the window.


Orion's steps stopped because of it, he then looked back and looked at Dr. Eka with sharp.


“You want to lecture me again? Which even I myself already understand?” pierced Orion with a ketus, it seems he was very angry with Dr. Eka for offending her son before.


“Don't be so fierce. I'm just advising you not to go. You ...definitely want to see that burly Mr. Mahanta, right?”


“What? You want to go?” Upon hearing Dr. Eka, the restless-looking Endaru then asked Orion.


“I'm worried about Mahanta. You, come in Endaru.” Orion turned around and left.


Once again Dr. Eka who was still in the window reminded him of the power of Orion.


“Good. It's up to you to leave, as long as you don't forget my advice not to use force. Remember, this is advice from your personal doctor! Your body is precious, so don't die!”


“Basic, the doctor treated me just because he wanted to,” grumbled Orion while speeding his steps away.


Orion decided to leave, even though it was already midnight. A lonely night along the way. Of course, it will be difficult to meet a taxi and even a bus whose operating hours are determined.


“At most there is only a return bus and not necessarily also in this country. Probably his last choice, by train huh?”


Taps, tap!


Orion walks in the middle of the city, alone on a very quiet night. He stops when he finds a map in a large madding. Several cities and borders are visible on the map, so Orion also understands the direction of the road.


“I've guessed. The name of the border must be far away. But why did Mahanta get there?” orion muttered.


The borders of the country, the sea that turned into dry land. According to what Mahanta said, the clue also leads to the same thing.


“Before that, I have to find a train that goes that way first.”


After that, Orion rushed to the station. Slow sea Orion felt the air getting colder, the wind whipping him a little stronger than usual. The first time Orion felt a different air was today, but he did not care so much as long as he could find Mahanta as soon as possible.
