ORION
The Eternal Fire Response, Is This A Sign?
Starting from curiosity, the longer Orion became interested and inexplicably stirred up a thought to retrieve the Eternal Flame.
Clontang!
Orion throws a bucket that was previously filled with water to fill the fire.
“I've also told you before, to take Eternal Flame. But I only did it because I just wanted to provoke him.”
Now, the Eternal Flame is truly living like a much talked-about legend. Many people worship Fire as a god, but in the end it leads to heresy. When thinking about that, Orion felt goosebumps for a moment.
In this part of the interior, even before noon there are still people wandering in the area. Either they were about to do what, but it seemed like they were bringing a lot of food and drinks in one place.
At a glance Orion saw there were some flower petals wrapped in banana leaves.
“Don't tell them again?” thought Orion.
The group of people turned out not only to roam, but they brought offerings to where the Eternal Fire was located. Soon Orion lifted his legs, going to a place where he could hide as well as observe them.
They worship the Eternal Flame. Knee bent and prostrate while pleading. They both shed tears at the same time. Orion was curious as to what they were proposing to the Eternal Flame.
“Please turn on our child!”
“Give us health, windfalls abound!”
“Take anything as long as our request is granted!”
Slightly screamed as he pleaded while clasping both hands forward. But the Eternal Flame was only blazing as usual, there was no sign that the Eternal Flame would do anything to their pleas.
“People today, whether they go to shamanism or even make their own God. They are all people who are not sane,” Orion while clenching their hands tightly.
His teeth clashed, snapping sounded as Orion was irritated by their overly dependable adoration.
“I retract my words, Eternal Flame is just ordinary fire. He did not catch my attention, heh, just try if the Eternal Flame dares to make me entangled.”
Blars!!
When Orion turned and was about to leave, the fire raged until it touched the wall of the cave completely. As if responding to what Orion had said before.
As all the worshippers were surprised, they seemed to think that the Eternal Flame would grant the request because it was heard.
“Hah?”
So did Orion, he had looked back for some time. But, right after he returned to walking ...
Trang!
Sima comes and attacks Orion with his knife. Lucky Orion resisted the attack with his sword blade.
“You again!?”
Orion dragged his steps, slightly irritated at Sima. Same with Sima.
“Looks like you're pretty healthy,” Sima said.
Orion lifted half his right leg, then kicked Sima who then moved away before being hit by his attack.
At Orion's right foot was a burning fire. That was why, Sima decided to stay away for a while. And start planning what he has to do now.
“So is you. But why are you still after me? What am I wrong with you? The feeling we meet is also just once before we fight,” Orion said while shrugging.
“Of course because—”
“Ah, or maybe because of Caraka? Though what makes Caraka hurt is not because of me but Miss Gista,” Orion said cut his sentence.
“Kh, Fire Boy! You stole a book from Mr. Caraka's basement. And, Mr. Chameleon wishes I killed you!”
Sima pointed a weapon at him. Then it sped quickly while swinging the knife. As if he was holding a long sword, a blade seemed to be looming over him.
Orion hit the rocks that he poked hard. The fire struck out by surrounding his legs, which then formed a wall of fire.
“Huh, this is too hot.”
Even Orion himself had an impact on his attack. The wall of fire was not expanded but was only limited to a living shield that continued to withstand the attacks for Sima's sake.
In his interlude he tried hard to penetrate the defenses of Orion. Until when the shadow of the blade looks more elongated, more than the size of the wall of fire that Orion made.
A slash! A slash!
Some of Sima's slashes he launched in just one move. As if his hands became numerous, Sima's movements were very different than before this.
“Hey, who is it!?”
“Interrupt worship only!”
“That must be a pervert!”
The fire worshippers seemed to have heard the commotion due to the fight they were doing at the moment. Soon the two moved to move away from the area.
Orion's wall of fire vanished with a trace left behind. With their departure from the area where the Eternal Flame was located, but that did not mean they would be hands off against each other.
“Priority, Fire Child.”
“That word again.”
Orion moved forward. Sima who was directly behind Orion was doing hand movements.
Hand movement by moving the thumb, index and middle. Which then every scratch on his face fell out and then fused on the fingers that he moved at that time.
Srak! Srak!
Scratches of oil painting tubs fuse together to form a labyrinth of boxes.
“Seal!” say Sima, then swing your hand and make the scratch thrown and then stick to the back of Orion.
“Ugh! What's this!?”
Orion felt his stomach stir. His legs no longer moved quickly, and unintentionally aligned Sima's movements.
Sima got a gap, he swung the weapon quickly but the elongated Orion sword blade blocked him again.
“Ck!” Sima clucked irritably, then made the scratches that had been stuck to Orion's back stronger.
Hiduprak! Orion fell down at that very moment.
“Actually the power of the woman, can be done how? I think I want to go back to death,” muttered Orion.
Automaticly, Sima stopped running and looked at Orion cynically. Shortly before Sima returned to attack, Orion got up and fled among the rocks there.
The form of a child is very useful. Especially under these conditions, chased by a savage beast that did not know how powerful it was. This is a fate that is completely unavoidable.
“Where is he!?”
Sima made various efforts to pass through the rock crevices. Sometimes he looks for another way and sometimes makes the way himself.
But Orion had already turned his way, away from the inland area. Even the location of the Eternal Flame had also been far from Orion's current position. He has returned to the settlement.
“About that woman showed up because she knew where I was or because of what? She always appears and disappears suddenly too.”
Luckily, Orion was out of Sima. At least for now. But wandering around like this feels like being watched by a lot of eyes.
Orion gulped, as he leaned against the wall of someone's house.
“My destination is a lot here. I have to quickly finish it.”
