Part 76 Kallandra's secret

The eagle stands in a family painting. There are Arya, Nayla and Abhimanyu. They were painted in their own homes. Looking at this picture, his eyelids puddled a speck of water. He misses their figure. Friend, the brother who used to fight with him. But now they no longer exist. Because the sideboard in the canvas is the same as the sideboard in the middle room. There is one thing that makes the Eagle enthusiastic. His attention was on one point. "This what?" asked the Eagle pointed to something blue in a glass bottle in Abi's sideboard. The eagle even got closer to the sideboard and looked for the thing he saw in the painting.

"What's the matter, Uncle?"

"The bottle is the same .." said the Eagle took the bottle with a light blue liquid. They both look at each other. Not just get there. The eagle picked up an old book. Titled "Kallandra." which is located not far from the blue bottle. Adi and Gio approached, surprised and curious. "Bi? You know about this book?" asked the Eagle, showing a book with a dark brown cover. Fragile, dusty and believed to be a very old book.

Abhimanyu approached, his forehead wrinkled. His memory seemed to pull him backwards.

As a child, Abhimanyu was very close to Arya. Even every night the father would read a fairy tale to him. This is one of Abhimanyu's favorite books.

However, due to an accident several decades ago, part of Abhimanyu's memory was lost. He can only remember recent memories. But, as he looked at this book again, Abi was completely able to remember everything.

His body staggered backwards. Nayla's voice and Arya's call seemed to fill her head. Their smiles, their nagging and all of Arya's advice seemed to be in line with her memory. Abhimanyu's lost memory, returned. Like a puzzle that is now complete.

Abhimanyu looked at everyone in this room. Adi snatched the book and opened it page by page. A piece of paper fell out of the old book. Gio. Open the already fragile brown sheet.

He frowned, closed his mouth, as if what he read was a very secret thing.

"Crazy!"

"What's wrong? What's written there, Gi?" ask Eagle.

Adi took it from Gio's hand and read it. The writing, written in ancient Javanese script, really made the two men surprised. "It's a will, Lang," said Adi.

"What testament?" A curious eagle approached and tried to read the line of writing that Adi was holding. "God! I can't read it! What does that mean, Di?"

"alright. It turns out it's a will. What John wrote for Arya," Adi said with a serious face.

"Then?"

"About Kallandra!"

"What?"

"Kallandra can only be killed by Arya."

"What's? But Arya is dead?!"

"Wait on! So here it is written, Kallandra will die if killed by the original descendants of Argenis. Who has a tattoo with the symbol Aldabaro." Everyone turned to Abhimanyu.

"Don't we know that before?" vin who had been silent since, listened.

"Yes, but, we don't have to kill all Kallandra or even Kalla. For it is only by killing the first Kallandra who was born into this world that all Kalla and his descendants will die by themselves."

"It used to be that only Arya had that aldabaro tattoo, right? Now Abhimanyu also has the same tattoo."

"Frightly so."

"So only Abhimanyu can kill them with a tattoo on his palm, so, right?" ask Vin again clarify Adi's statement.

"No! But with lapetus blood. Immortality blood. Combined with sapphire and silver."

"Hm. combined lapetus blood? But we don't even have it!"

"you mean this one?" asked the Eagle took out a clear bottle made of crystal with a blood red liquid inside.

"astaga Eagle! How'd you get it?" ask Adi excitedly. He took the bottle with a look of admiration.

"As we passed through the secret passageway the other day. I found this thing just lying in the hallway. I'm not sure if this is the lapetus blood we're looking for. But I'll take it anyway and maybe we'll prove it later."

Abhimanyu. "Their dreams are not mere sleeping tales."

Abhimanyu became the next center of attention. "What did Arya tell you, Bi?" ask Eagle.

"More or less the same as the contents of the letter, uncle. In the story, Arkie, the leader of Kalla in the book, will die by being beheaded by a soldier called Akira, in the book. He made a sword out of sapphire mixed with lapetus blood and melted silver. Then when the sword is intact, Arkie will appear. That's when, Akira and Arkie will fight."

"And you, it's Akira!" exclaimed the Eagle with a sharp look at Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu just kept silent, staring at the unique symbol in his palm. He remembered that his father had a similar tattoo on his back.

____

"It's a protective amulet . You'll also have pictures like this one."

Back memories that had been lost suddenly appeared in Abhimanyu's head.

Abi stroked his palm. Feel every detail of the painting in his palm.

"At least there is hope for all of us. We can exterminate Kalla now" Gio said excitedly.

Abhimanyu opened the door to his room. Stare at him for a long time. His smile was thin but it looked slick. He put his foot inside. Touching every corner of his room. The place he has lived for years. The place that holds the most memory of his life.

Abi sat on his desk chair. The table's a little dusty. A figura with a photo of her and her parents caught Abi's attention. He grabbed her, touched Nayla's face slowly, a smile growing on her lips. But the tears were growing in her eyelids. He then held the photo on his chest. Hugging by closing your eyes. Refuse the water that keeps forcing it out of its place. He remembered, when he cried, Arya would scold him all out. Arya said, men's crying is the most sincere feeling they have in themselves. But don't let that sincere feeling make you weak.

"Cry without anyone else knowing."

Abi hugged the photo even tighter. His shoulders grew louder, but as hard as he could, he held him back. So that no one would hear it. Abi felt a warm sensation on both of his shoulders. Without realizing it, Arya is behind him, with Nayla. Nayla smiled at her now sad looking son. His hand touched Abi's head. Arya patted her son's shoulder. Just like what he did before, when he found his son was desperate. Arya is not a dramatic human being. But everything is always shown through real action.

"Dad ... I'll try my hardest. You guys don't worry. I'll be fine" Abi murmured without opening his eyes. His heart wound began to improve, feeling sad and longing as if it was coming out a moment later. Either because of tears that have been spilled, or because of the presence of both parents.

The smell of cooking smelled to the home page. Gio and Adi who were repairing the fishing net, then turned their heads. "Eat time?"

"Well, this time I agree with you. Gi!" They left the job. But from a distance, Vin can be seen carrying some fresh fish with a fishing rod in his left hand. His smile was bright and triumphant.

"Look, I managed to get a fish in just two hours."

Adi and Gio hamya turned their heads for a moment, as if unconcerned. "Well, it's up to you."

Until the dining room, there were already two girls. The eagle who was still reading the book, seemed indifferent to the arrival of all of them. Abhimanyu had just come out of his room with a fresher face.

They eat together. Several times Adi babbling and eating Gio back into a delicious meal complementary to the dining table, as usual. Vin told me how he got the fish. While the Eagle who continued to receive special treatment from Shanum was now warmer on the girl.

"You eat a lot. Look, the black circumference of your eyes is getting wider, Sun." The words from the Eagle's mouth were able to make Gio choke.

"Di, am I dreaming?" whispered Gio to Adi who was sitting next to him.

"Let me slap your face first. Just so you realize you have to get used to seeing this kind of Eagle attitude."

"It's amazing what it's called love, yeah. The most horrible man I've known was capable of being sweet as well."

"But why am I so sick of seeing her, huh?"

"That's because you guys are jealous!" sambar Vin with a loud voice.

Gio throws Vin with the cucumber piece and is greeted with Vin's laughter which actually makes the dining table more crowded than usual.

At least they still have time to laugh. Before the real war. Their fight has just begun.

Even a great curiosity now reached the hearts of everyone in this room. Who's Arkie? Where he's been all this time!

On the other side of the quiet and peaceful village of Abhimanyu, the town grows increasingly alarming.Nearly every night Kalla begins to kill his prey. Moreover, the Eagle and his companions were not there.

On the other hand, the cafe belongs to Vishnu. Nayaka was sipping his coffee. It's been a few days that his new employee has been absent from his workplace. The cafe was closed ten minutes ago. Alicia is wiping the barista table. He looks tired because he has been working all day, the atmosphere of the cafe is always crowded and they lost one employee . Abhimanyu.

"Alicia, you go home first. Let me close the cafe." Nayaka's voice echoed. Makes the woman nod in spirit. One by one Nayaka employees went home to greet the manager who was responded coldly by the man in the white shirt.

Lights are turned off at some corner of the cafe. Only the lights near Nayaka are left on. Nayaka looked at the now deserted highway. Look at everyone who walks on the sidewalk. Until he caught the unusual sight in front of him. A man chasing after a woman, the quiet streets made the woman's scream sound faint. Right on the windshield of the cafe, the woman was strangled until her body was lifted up high by the man earlier. Nayaka just stared at the event. He just kept silent.Saw when the woman was in pain and asked for her help.while the man suddenly changed into a terrible creature. He drew his face close to the woman in front of him. He began to breathe the life of the woman. A suffocating sound rang out in Nayaka's ears. But Nayaka remained silent, sipping back his homemade coffee. It was as if the scenery in front of him was like an interesting spectacle for him when he let go of fatigue.

the woman was just dropped near the cafe. The monstrous creature stared at Nayaka for a moment and then Nayaka took out her right index finger, forming a transverse line around her neck. Like a gesture to the black creature in front of him, his mouth opened in line with his hands. "Kill him! Destroy it!" Nayaka.

Kalla who was outside nodded. dragged the woman away to a much quieter place.while Nayaka, smiling triumphantly.
