ORION
The Ancient History of the NED World, Is That Really?
Endaru's getting bored, endless he's always reading which is not an activity he likes. Endaru then looked at the ceiling of the basement room. Sometimes looking for another way but ended up dead-end with many bookshelves or drugs.
One time, he found something partially visible on the biggest shelf. Several times he confirmed whether he did not look wrong.
But after trying to knock it down by pulling the gravity, the shelf slightly swayed and finally dropped one book on another.
“It turns out I didn't see it wrong. Orion, come here!” pinta Endaru to him.
Orion rushed to Endaru's place and just opened every page of the book. Seen from the same cover but the contents are much more different than the previous books.
Endaru gulped and prepared to read.
“If you are afraid, let me read it,“ Orion said.
“I'm not afraid!” sangal Enduru with bulging eyes.
The content of the book, is nothing but the origin of the resurrection of men. All who have sin against family, others or themselves, all will rise up.
However, given the existence of many humans who must have at least one sin. Also the countless human deaths, it made them think,
How many NED Fighters have been born?
Infinite yet visible are only a handful of the many populations. It's only in one country, not another.
Behind the page it reads, "Humans who experience resurrection after death are due to ancient gods."
“What does it mean?” ask Ender did not understand.
“Moreover I am not at all interested in mystical things like this.”
Ancient gods are said to live in kahyangan, above the sky. They make a resurrection among men and make them have powers beyond reason. It's called supernatural.
Such a power would overthrow the world itself. I don't know what the ancient gods were thinking up there when the world was completely destroyed because of the power that the humans had.
“I don't know about this history before,” muttered Endaru.
“I'm the same.”
Srak! Endaru once again flipped his page and found a piece of paper that seemed to be tucked between the pages that Endaru opened. And that piece of paper was smaller than the other sheet.
It says, "The time frame that man has with the blood of the connecting body and soul is quite narrow than that of any other man."
The writing reminded him of Dr. Eka previously about the NED Warrior who had that rare blood, his body would shrink and then die when his blood was drained to the point of exhausting.
As Orion and Endaru shuddered with goosebumps, their entire saddle stood a sign of knowing how much suffering the NED Fighters especially the ones with the blood were.
Endaru felt sympathetic, he looked at Orion.
“Orion, are you okay?” From his voice, it was clear Endaru was worried about Orion.
“Do not think too long,” said Orion trying to calm himself even though his face was sweating.
“But, the timeframe is narrower than other NED Fighters, does that mean we will all die even if we don't fight though?” thought Endaru again saw the writing on the piece of paper.
“Everyone will eventually die, Endaru. Whether because of war, congenital diseases, accidents or other things,” Orion said in the form of true facts.
“Ah, you're not listening. Basic,” grumbled Orion.
The page that Endaru pointed to was another piece of writing. Namely, the effect for humans who drink the blood connecting body and soul is a memory that enters gradually.
“What does this mean again? I don't get it. Hey, Orion!” Endaru insisted at a time when he had difficulty understanding the meaning of the word.
“That's very easy to understand, Endaru! Have you never studied?” cry Orion.
“Basic parents! You think I was the one who got up at what age, huh? 5 Years old! And at that very moment, my parents were gone!” amuk Endaru's.
“A lot of talk! Self-study can also be!”
“Your ass can!”
They ended up fighting each other and exchanging words in a rising voice. They exchanged glances like a cat and a mouse.
“Ck, you spoiled brat!” cerca Orion turned her face away.
There was no end to them fighting if they continued to berate each other like this. At that time, they both felt the air in this room change. What seemed ordinary now changed like someone was coming.
They look around and make sure no one is coming. After a while, there was really no one. Silent.
Returning an annoyed grunt, Orion then tried to explain what the meaning of the sentence written on the piece of paper was.
“You who have drunk my rare blood, will know all my memories both from what I remember or not,” explained Orion.
“Hah, it turned out to be just that,” said Endaru disparagingly.
“Let me warn you one thing. My blood flowing into your body will make you see all the good and bad memories. And you could have died of stress because my memories overlap with yours,” Orion explained.
If thought back, Endaru finally understood that this could not be underestimated. He must be able to control it because if he does not then as Orion says it will become a reality.
“But Endaru, if you don't remember wrongly, you used to say that you died before you met me?” Orion asked.
“Ah, the. Yeah, you're right. I have my own secret.” Endaru again refused to tell him about it again.
Orion understood maybe it reminded him of a pretty bad past.
After that they glanced at a picture that was set down next to the writing. Picture a fire with water falling on it.
“Api immortality.”
“What? Is there such a thing?”
“Maybe yes. Because Caraka is after the fire power that NED Fighters have including me to ascertain whether the fire is eternal fire or not,” Orion said.
The eternal flame, this story was once the subject of conversation among ordinary people. Once upon a time, there was someone who found fire, he thought the fire would be extinguished shortly after a few days of dwelling in the cave when the rainy season came.
But the next day, the fire did not go out and when watered the fire was still alive. Not growing nor is it shrinking. That is why the fire is called the Eternal Fire.
“If so, now where is the fire?” endaru asked which she obviously still did not understand.
“How about we exchange answers? I will answer Eternal Flame where and you must answer who made you rise before me?”
