ORION
Risk in Luck
Facing the green flames that kept burning his body, the more he was wrathful. Not accepting this, he actually burned his body again with his own fire.
The bright orange-colored flame surpassed the greenish fire. Gradually disappearing, for a moment Orion was relieved but his anger was still mounting.
“Basic crazy people. He also wants to burn his book, yes!” cry Orion while banging his book that almost burned.
“Hey, what happened to you?” ask Ender surprised.
Not only Enderu, Erik was also very surprised by what he had just seen. Orion had just caught fire but his body was completely unharmed. Even putting out the fire with his fire.
“Weird kid,” murmured Erik.
Regardless of the two of them, Orion reopened every page of the book. He once again read the inscription containing information about rare blood.
The blood connecting body and soul, often called rare blood by the NED Warriors. Blood that can bring others to life. And in the book it is written, whoever drinks the blood of a common man, the effect awaits.
Nothing else is, seeing the memory of the owner of the blood and will be attached forever to the end of history. The memory will be mixed with personal memory.
If you think longer, the person could have died of stress due to memory.
“Still the same. And come to think of it, most NED fighters don't know this effect, huh?” thought Orion.
Dap! Orion closed the ancient book. Then again facing Erik who is still sitting in his current position.
“Hey, what do you know is just the advantage of rare blood?” orion asked Erik. He just made sure to come back.
“Yes? What's wrong? Isn't blood like a treasure, there will be sacrifices when we use it?”
“I've guessed he doesn't know,” Orion's inner self while clearing his throat and turning his face away for a while.
“Orion, just now fire it ..” Endaru was about to say something but his sentence was cut off.
“Like pirates looking for treasure. They will sacrifice many people as well as a lot of time that has been spent. Rare blood has almost the same risk,” said Orion.
In the end Orion did not understand Endaru at all.
“There is one more question thing. Have you ever met Chameleon?” ask Orion.
After Erik heard Orion's words earlier, he suddenly shut up for some time. Maybe you're thinking something related to rare blood.
But after Orion asked again, and surprisingly the question was too difficult to answer.
“A-I don't know,” replied Erik with a little stammering.
“That's right?” ask Orion again.
“Iya true. If you really want to know, why not just ask the informant? Oh, geez. There is still yes, who is looking for the whereabouts of him.” Erik grumbling.
“If you don't know anything it's okay. But what should I do if I meet the NED Warriors roaming around, huh?” orion said as he looked away, while he glanced at Erik.
“Wait! Don't, lest I be known Miss or all members of Arutala Group!” pinta Erik yelled, he was very panicked.
“Can be anyway. As long as you want to help me,” said Orion who seemed to be planning something.
Erik gulped, faced with a child who looked innocent but now he finally understood that the child in front of him was very dangerous.
“Can be a little kid like you!” shouted Erik.
“What do you want to do? Staring at Orion like that?” suhut Endaru with a sharp look and the air around also darkened creepy.
Erik again swallowed his saliva. Then bowed his head deeply with a trembling body. He might have been very frightened, let alone the current Hero of the City.
Erik nodded his head without looking at the faces of the two of them. After that he returned to bow his head.
Then said, “You really won't tell me where I am in Arutala Group, right?”
“Yes. Sure oes. As long as you follow what I asked. And don't let you talk about me too,” Orion said.
“Ba-okay.”
“Oh, yes. One more thing. Where's the informant's house?”
The exchange went well. After Erik told him where the informant's address was, he left with his promise. If Erik were to leak it, then sooner or later it would be discovered as long as Orion was in the same city as him.
***
Shortly before Erik's departure, Erik asked Orion for something. And that topic is not far from the reason why he is targeting the rare blood in Orion.
Orion rejected it hard.
“You sure you don't want to help him?”
“Why are you asking so,” ketus Orion.
“Because you want to die, so I thought it would be better if you gave a little of your blood to the person he meant?” thought Enderu.
“Do not mix things easily. There is a risk behind the luck we get. Make sure you can take that risk before you accept that luck,” Orion said.
“Basic plain boy. Outside looks firm but inside is still soft,” Orion quipped.
“Sorry, yes. Because of my nature from the beginning like this,” said Endaru.
The nature of Endaru with Mahanta is completely inversely proportional from the outside as well as inside. But in terms of combat or relating to it, they were both equally superior.
Unlike Orion, the experience of fighting was completely zero. But his mind is much more mature than Enderu, and less than Mahanta.
“Yes, I was lucky enough,” muttered Orion who thought of those two people.
“What are you talking about?” ask Ender did not understand.
“Nothing. I'd better go home, ah no. I have to meet Mahanta first,” Orion said as he turned around.
“Hey, before leaving, I want to ask you. Are you really looking for Chameleon? Since yesterday, you've been asking for his whereabouts.”
Orion's steps came to a halt as Endaru called out and rushed over to him in a hurry.
“Ya, of course,” short Orion then back on the road.
Just then, Endaru felt something flowing within his body. As is common in every human body, blood. But this is a little different.
“Is it just my feeling, that you want to die sooner?”
Endaru simply spoke his heart about Orion. Without a doubt, without pausing a sentence even without any lies tucked away.
Orion was stunned, hearing that Endaru felt that way. As if Endaru could read his mind, it was terrifying.
Orion then turned around and faced him while saying, “Sok knows once. Even if it's true what's his business with you?”
Look Orion's eyes seem unfriendly. There is anger and there is hate. Suddenly, Endaru fell silent without a word and saw Orion leave.
“Mood is really bad,” muttered Endaru.
