Sapphire City's
Chapter 9: Explanation and Situation
Yuda is not mistaken, although not one week ago he saw Mirna's sister, even though he only saw her face when picking up Mirna. But this time he could see the figure of older sister Mirna thoroughly. Short black hair over the ears that are so neat and shiny. His figure was tall like a young man in his 20s, his face was truly like that of a young artist.
He glanced at Yuda and smiled at him, as if beckoning us to meet again.
The door of the hall was tightly closed. The three men who had directed the survivors stood in front of Mirna's brother's right side, against the wall.
“all survivors are here”
“already chairman” replied the veiled chick
Both of Yuda's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but he had to save his surprise.
“then I will start”
Sister Mirna looked at each survivor one by one, as if everyone who was here would be pointed at by certain things, but in the end she started to introduce herself.
“survivor, introduce, I am Vedric, Chairman and Headquarters of Harja organization. I'm sure you all must be wondering what's going on out there, suddenly things go dark when it's still late, people turn into stone statues, he said, then there are monsters like mystical creatures roaming around out there. But I need to be clear, everything you see out there is real. What you guys are experiencing out there, we call it ‘open door two world’”
“two worlds what does it mean?” a girl behind Yuda asked Vedric
“the world I am referring to is the world of beings you see today. Currently they are all roaming freely throughout the city of Bandung. But all of that will be over if we can kill or expel them”
What Vedric said made everyone wonder that some even thought that this was a joke.
“I know you guys are confused and don't understand, but it's a bitter reality that we're dealing with right now, and this phenomenon we call sapphire” night
Judah does not understand what Vedric means, but what Sapphire is?.
Vedric again explained “Sapphire Night is a night that occurs every 4 years, on the 7th month to 15 days. A night where time in the world feels stopped except those in here, all living creatures both animals and humans become stone statues, there is no light except one, Sapphire” gem
“then when tonight happens, some human will be chosen, to fight matis”
“matics? What is it?” Ask a female survivor.
“they are creatures from the world sebrang, their goal is to control the city of bandung, their figure is not known what it looks like, but when they set foot here, the, they will take the figure of a human or other living creature” Vedric replied.
“then our chosen ones will fight them?” Ask a young man.
“iya, those chosen will fight the matis, not only you but all of us who are in this headquarters, all have been determined to fight matis” Vedric replied.
“means this resistance has been happening since a long time?” Ask a girl.
A sense of surprise enveloped the contents of the hall, even Judah felt disbelief in the content of the agreement that Verdic spoke. All this is clear why humans never lose, because it must not lose whatever happens. That means what Yuda is facing is a time of risking the lives of the entire city.
“WHY ARE PEOPLE'S LIVES IN AGREEMENT! IT'S INHUMANE ONCE!”
Yuda glanced back, the tall, black-haired young man, from his posture he must be a student.
“WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE SHOULD BE KNOWN TO THE PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT!, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS...”.
“what will the government be tau?” Vedric repeated the speech of the young man was “sayang once, the government no one knows even no one believes”
Yuda was silent and shocked.
“if anyone knows it is also only a handful because the events we experience are not young people believe, even if we show evidence, it's hard for them to believe. Then about people should know, if the public at large knows what happened do they believe?”
“what does it mean?”
“will I explain the signs of the battle will begin, first there will be 3 locations hummed to experience cracks followed by earthquakes and its large size, the, plus every crack there is a whisper in Sundanese, you all must have heard it, right?”
No one disputes, it means they heard what Vedric has explained.
“now I ask again, have you heard what you heard four years ago?”
No one answered, everyone was silent.
“or four years before, is there any news of a dammed earthquake that occurred 3x in brackets time 2 weeks”
No one answered either.
“I'm sure none of you know. That is because, already entered into the agreement, everything that happens on the night of Sapphire will not cause any traces, even when we win, he said, then at that time the city will return as reckless as the moments before the sapphire night, the phenomenon of signs will all be removed from human memory including the traces will be lost unfrozen. Unless we are chosen will always remember the actual events of”
Judah could say nothing more. This explains everything, if in the past there was a battle should the signs have been there for a long time, but all this time he did not remember at all. It was as if his memories were perfectly erased.
“then how with the former battle” Andy again asked “I'm sure there will be a destroyed building, or not a human being who became a statue shattered into pieces. Will it be like that until the battle is finished”
Verdic answered Andy's question “when the battle is over and we win it, what happens here will be re-planted before darkness envelops”
It was hard to digest what was happening right now, when Yuda glanced at everyone behind him he could see shock, disbelief and even fear haunting them all. Real or not, these are all realities that he must accept.[]
