SECRET MAURA
Kamaru
Maura heard the sound of breathing, so close to her. The breath was hunting for its prey, the cry of the voice sounded. It seemed that he was annoyed not to find what he was looking for.
Suddenly his body pushed forward, he fell along with several trees, branches and leaves that were in the black hole earlier.
"Uhuk! What was that? What is that hole, so deep and dark?!" murmured Maura.
He looked around, he looked foreign to the place. He was in a forest that did not know where it was, which was clearly not the Angkara forest anymore or the Pine forest.
"Goddess? Goddess, do you hear me?" inner Maura tries to communicate with Goddess Srikandi.
But he didn't get any answers from her, he kept trying again but couldn't. He saw a shadow approaching him.
He immediately pretended to die according to the advice of Dewi Srikandi earlier, the big and black shadow was getting closer and smaller.
He tried to open his eyes slightly, like a child playing on a fallen wooden tree in front of Maura who was lying down.
"Little boy? What the hell is he doing here? Wait, that means he's not human? Oh my God, I think it's over yet" he murmured inwardly.
The little creature continued to play around regardless of Maura who kept lying in front of him.
Looking at the sparkle of the little green creature's eyes, he glanced at Maura and grinned.
"When did he lie there? Who wants him to cheat? Hehe! It seemed like the Goddess had taught him something.
This kid is talented, but stupid! Goddess, Goddess... Still you used that stupid trick to trick me" the creature murmured.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, the little creature approached Maura. She scanned his face, Maura pretended to be unconscious without knowing his lie was already known.
"Wake up, I won't eat you. You're not my taste, I don't eat a holy soul" the creature said.
Maura opened her eyes slowly, in front of her stood a handsome and dashing man. He was wearing the old war clothes, the knight's armor that looked dashing.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?" maura asked astonished as well as amazed at the handsome man in front of her.
"I'm a despicable creature, you don't need to know who I am. Clearly, I do not prey on humans or clean and holy-spirited creatures.
Forgive me for this misunderstanding, let me take you back with the Goddess" the creature said.
Maura was astonished, why did she know with the Goddess? He noticed the creature, at first glance there was nothing strange about it. He was like an ordinary human being, only he had sparkling green eyes like lizard eyes.
"How do you know about the Goddess?" ask Maura.
"Of course I know with him, we fought together. It's just that, because of my carelessness and stupidity all our efforts were in vain.
For decades I was a slave to the devil, after he was bored and did not need my strength anymore, he dumped me here.
From that day on, I swore I would eat or prey on all kinds of jinn and other evil creatures." The creature looked as if it was trying to remember something.
Goddess Srikandi came flying towards them, the creature smiling kindly welcomed her.
"Welcome back, Goddess. Daughter of the Moon.." said.
Dewi Srikandi seemed indifferent to him and did not care about it, he immediately approached Maura and checked whether Maura was okay or not.
"I've told you how many times, I won't prey on humans or other sacred beings.
Why don't you trust me?" asked the creature, very upset with the Goddess.
"You already know why my reaction is so to you, it means I still don't believe you" replied the cold Goddess.
The creature he scratched his non-itchy head violently, he no longer knew what else to do let the Goddess believe him.
"You know very well, if I had been subjected to powerful magic and study by the great witch, right?" he said with a bent face.
"I am just an ordinary human being who has no inner strength like you or Arialoka, nor can I withstand all forms of magic so that it is forcibly enslaved by him.
For many years I was his messenger, and even to my death I was not allowed to be free or return to nirvana. I continued to serve him until he became a beast.
So he dumped me here, a quiet, dark secluded place.
As with the Angkara forest, this forest is also part of the border of the previous agreement.
I'm here to be the guardian of this forest without me noticing. To prey on the evil, protect the good. It became my advice, my weapon as a reminder that I used to be a great kstaria in my day." The creature's length explains everything.
He sat in front of Maura and Dewi Srikandi while playing the end of the cloth on his waist.
"I remember everything, Kamaru. And I don't hate you, it's just that the worry is still there.
I think it is necessary to be vigilant, considering you have been a slave of Arion Gaharu for quite a while" replied Dewi Srikandi.
"All right, I get it!" said creature passed away and disappeared.
"Where is he going?" ask Maura.
"Don't mind him, come back later. Ordinary, sulking" answered flatly Dewi Srikandi.
"Ih, like a kid. The body alone is large and athletic, stocky and dangerous. But once angry, haze!" said Maura smiling amusedly looking.
Finally he met also with the holder of the magic necklace on the neck of the Gerald, the jade necklace of the magic pomegranate.
