Rannie
Rain & Rain

The road is long and winding, between all the roads. My way home disappeared a while ago.

Swuush...

Brrr...

The cold night wind.....

Aqyla held onto her chest that felt tight. He lost control and consciousness.

"Q....!!!" Ranni shouted calling his name.

Aqyla fell from the bird she was riding. His fragile body floated in the gripping night air.

"I and I felt the same pain.

For the injured me, we are sharing a wound" Aqyla closed her eyes and held onto her tight chest.

Unleash it....

Aaaaa....

Tolooo.....

The sound was so real, I couldn't close my ears to avoid it.

What do I have to do to help her?

He was crying in that empty air. Darkness is always looking for gaps to swallow bodies that are always fragile.

Frenc directed the bird on his mount to catch Aqyla's body hovering in the air.

"Aqyla? You all right?" with an anxious face Ranni tried to resuscitate him.

There was no answer whatsoever, Aqyla kept her eyes closed.

"What's going on?" Frenc raised Aqyla's hand and looked at the emblem in her hand that was slowly changing color.

"You know something?" ask Ranni worried.

"It seems like Aqyla's body came to this world" he replied slowly.

"But why was Aqyla so unconscious?" ask again.

Frenc simply fell silent and clenched his hand. He covered up his reality to Ranni.

"Ran.., you have to go alone to prevent the mating" she looked at Ranni.

Ranni was silent for a moment then nodded slowly.

"I will bring Aqyla home to treat her" she reached into Aqyla's body and boarded the bird.

"You be careful, yeah..." Ranni glanced towards Frenc.

"I'm sorry I only got here I can accompany you" she spoke softly.

"I'm fine" she smiled.

The cause of the disaster must surrender itself to fate to repair the mossy return. Every drop of blood is a story to account for.

Ranni clenched her hands and looked straight ahead. Along that far way he just fell silent letting the silence persuade him. The curse he had on him had already extinguished his spirit flames.

The woman who embraced the earth that shook and greened the ravaged earth may have long since disappeared.

"I want to have a life like an ordinary human being" he whispered in the middle of the night.

The rain was getting heavier, the cold did not make him feel tired to keep going.

"I will never get engaged to that demon!!!" Anndin shouted in the room.

"Son, everyone's life is in your hands" her mother spoke softly.

"What is he planning?" his voice sounded desperate.

"You have to continue this, son, we'll wait if he can publish the sun after this" he tried to calm Anndin down.

"She can't be this reckless, surely she already has a solution mom!!"

"Then just follow the plan" bowing down he stepped away from the room.

The marriage of two people, the destruction of two people, the separation of two people, and the love between two people.

Who will be chosen for the duel this time?

Toooots... Tooots... Tooots.

The sound of trumpets was heard roaring in the air. All eyes were on Miss Percilia. Her beautiful face radiated charm and hope to everyone there. Anndin stood beside her with a face forced to be happy.

Time is uncertain, who knows now or guesses?

Is it day or night?

Ranni stood among the crowd, she stared intently at the happy smiling Miss Percilia.

"I'll kill you!!" he clasped the dagger in his hand and walked quickly through the crowd of people.

Someone suddenly pulled his hand.

"What are you gonna do?"

Ranni was surprised and saw the person.

"You?"

"Where's Tyna?" tanyanya's worried.

"I've taken him somewhere safe" he replied softly.

"Is he okay?"

The figure nodded slowly.

"What are you going to do now Ran? Miss Percilia will be publishing the sun soon, you know what will happen after? Two worlds will soon be destroyed" he was bowed down in despair.

"I wish I could but.." she stopped her sentence and couldn't continue.

"I am enjoying the present, the unchanging night and the impossible tomorrow. I miss the peace and hope that the prophecy tells me. A strong woman who will come and embrace the earth that shakes, greening it, and giving way to all those who are lost. All of us have now lost hope" he spoke as he turned his hand to the falling rain.

"I'm sorry..." Ranni whispered in silence.

"Ran.., can't you really give us hope?" he looked at Ranni expectantly.

"Why do you believe me? I have always lived without hope for a long time, can I hold everyone's hope? I'm just gonna make you guys even more desperate" she bowed.

"We're expecting you, can you be a little tough?" the figure turned around and left Ranni alone amongst the torrential rain.

He walked through the rain with hope already lost.

Hope....

Vapidity....

A fiasco...

All of these words have the same last letter.

'An..'

It is natural that everyone will be confused about which word to choose because they are stuck and always think of the same ending without starting it.

Arise up...

"I trust you Ran.." The rain whispered to him.

Ranni observed the surroundings with a puzzled face.

"I trust you, Ran. We bow to you. Let us help you" the rain whispered in a soft tone.

"Who are you?" he pointed his dagger with a worried expression.

The falling grains of rain formed a miraculous shadow of the female figure.

"Don't be afraid" she caressed Ranni.

"How is that possible?" he was very surprised.

"Since I've been with you Ran, you've always called me to cry together. I will cry with you if you fail but I will fight with you to prevent that failure. Follow your heart" the figure touched Ranni's necklace.

"What should I do?" Ranni looked at the figure.

"You're here not to stop something? Go back to your original goal Ran.., everyone will help you" she stroked Ranni's hair and disappeared.

Look at the beginning, how was your spirit then?

How was your determination then?

Still too soon to give up now, you're not struggling but letting despair hold you in its arms.

Ranni ran through the rain....

"Hey.., I'll give you hope" she shouted in the rain calling for a figure who was getting away.

The figure turned around and approached Ranni with a happy expression.

"I support you and will always help you" the figure smiled looking at Ranni.

"But..., it looks like we missed one thing" Ranni smiled shyly.

The figure frowned.

"Do you have a name?" Ranni asked later.

Hahahahahaha...

The figure laughed out loud.

"I don't have a name but Tyna always calls me whistling it seems to be a name for me, everyone calls me that" the figure smiled as if holding back her grief.

"Can I call you Rain?" ask Ranni carefully.

"I'll find my name in the rain and it means that that's where I come from, that's my tribe, that's my strength. My mom used to always tell me that, I didn't trust her and thought it was a joke but that day...., the day I saw my mother gone she looked at me and told me to protect the person who would give me a name" she spoke softly.

Ranni was silent in the rain. Everyone is hiding their wounds.

"No one dared to give me a name, they believed in the prophecy and put hope in every void" he tried to smile.

"Your name is Rain" Ranni pulled her hand and stroked the palm of the figure.

The necklace used by Ranni lit up, the moon that was slowly dim in the sky suddenly emitted a very bright light. The light was no less bright like the scorching sunlight.

Slowly the emblem of a drop of water appeared in the figure's hand and the moonlight made it clear.

Hope is still there...

"All goes according to plan, Ranni learn to find your meaning" Anndin turned and looked at the moon in the rain.
