Hearing the story of Kamaru, made Maura a little pity. Poor as well as his fate, his life was toyed with like that.
"Goddess, don't you feel sorry for her? I don't think it was entirely his fault, he just got stuck and the influence of magic made him do all that" Maura said.
"i know Maura, but somehow it's hard to forgive her. It takes time to forget everything, Maura" he replied slowly.
"How much longer are you going to forgive her? It's been a long time Goddess, it's been centuries" Maura said again.
"For you it's been a long time, but not for us. A century ago it was the same as a day ago" he said, staring blankly ahead.
While the two of them were chatting, Kamaru suddenly came from behind them running towards them.
"Go quickly! Go now I say!" he screamed like a panicked person.
"Whatchu mean? You're kicking us out?! You don't have to drive us out, we'll leave!" said Dewi Srikandi upset her.
"It's not so, Goddess... In that direction, north of this forest a group of Arion Gaharu's troops are heading here!" he explained everything.
"Really, or are you just venting your frustration?" ask the Goddess suspiciously.
"As much as you want to believe it or not, I only feel sorry for that child if it has to be a victim because of your selfishness!" grunts Kamaru.
Dewi Srikandi and Maura look restless, their only way home is the Angkara hutam. But the forest is now controlled by Arion Gaharu's army.
"I can drive you home, there's a shortcut in this forest straight to your world Maura. But yes it is, it will be very painful if you go through there" Kamaru said, he hesitantly suggested the idea.
"Whatchu mean? As far as I know the only way to the human world is only the Angkara forest. What are your intentions, Kamaru? Was it true that you said all that?!" the goddess was still suspicious of him.
"There's a reason why I kept the place a secret here, I don't want the jinn or evil witches in this forest to use the place for their evil intentions" Kamaru said seriously.
Suddenly a strong wind came towards them, the sky was pitch-black with the sound of thunder rumbling.
"Go quickly, there's no more time! I'm following me!" kamaru's shout compensated for the sound of the wind that was so boisterous it rumbled.
They ran fast following Kamaru who had already run first towards them, Maura felt a little strange with him because he could compensate for the speed of running Goddess who was so fast.
"You are now in another world Maura, your strength following you is. If here your power appears longer and stronger, because it comes from here.
Unlike if you are in your world, your strength is not this big and therefore there is me who will always accompany you" said Dewi explained all of Maura's astonishment.
Maura understood what the Goddess meant, the wind was getting stronger chasing them. There was the sound of horse shoes approaching.
In front of them was a huge old tree surrounded by rocks, in the middle was a gaping black hole, Kamaru was already standing in front of him.
"Come in, when inside you let your body slide itself down inside this tree. Just ignore if there's a sound, something that touches your body.
Otherwise you will be swallowed up by this old tree, just listen to what I say" Kamaru said.
The sound of horseshoes is getting closer, from a distance seen some troops all black with black horses are also heading towards them.
"Quick, there's no time! You guys gotta go!" he said while pushing Dewi and Maura into the black hole.
Both of them had entered into the huge black hole, they saw Kamaru struggling to close it using a large stone beside him.
"Listen, inside the hole is very dark cold and slippery. There will be a small light that will guide you, then follow this tree to guide you home. Ughhhh!" while explaining all that, Kamaru got an attack from that troop.
The dart shot out piercing behind his body, he tried to endure the pain.
"You-you..." Maura gasped as she saw the attacks of several arrows raining down on her body.
"Hurry and go, don't mind me! I won't just die, haha! Go!" he shouted while stomping the large stone covering the hole.
Instantly silent and silent, the sound of crickets was not there. Suddenly they heard a loud scream from outside the tree.
"Goddess, I hope you've forgiven me. Think of all this as proof and my apology to all of you.
There was a soft sound inside the black hole, which they believed was Kamaru's voice. The Goddess's eyes glazed over when she heard the voice of her former soldier, who was also her best friend.
If Maura could see it, she would definitely cry as well. Because the atmosphere was pitch-black and the Goddess held back her crying voice, Maura could neither see nor hear her crying.
Suddenly there was a light from behind them, they turned around and saw a bright green glowing little elf flying around them.
As the fairy leaves, Maura and Dewi follow her through a narrow path full of stalactites and stalagmites.
The air temperature turns cold, the smell of wet and damp walls rushes out. And the fairies disappeared, and they lost their way.
The atmosphere returned pitch-black, Maura clung to the Goddess as they walked forward, suddenly their legs slipped and they fell sliding down.
They remembered Kamaru saying to just follow the direction the tree was taking him away, and sure enough they skated with many obstacles.
the wet and slippery ground was not smooth as people were playing, but full of rocks and pebbles. They have to endure all the pain.
Not to mention, something that appeared creeping out of nowhere was swaying their bodies.
Fortunately not too long ago, the suffering was soon over before them there was a bright light and they would soon be out of there.
The byurr!!
They came out of the black hole together with the black water like mud, out there they were astonished and amazed.
They were in a meadow so soft as velvet, in front of them was a lake with water so clear and clean and planted with some beautiful lotus flowers that were blooming.
Behind them, there was a large tree resembling a cherry tree whose flowers were blooming and falling in the wind, from which they came out earlier. And strangely enough, the tree was not very big and the hole they went through just now shrank and just disappeared.
around them many plants of various types of colorful flowers, sunlight and cool light make them so comfortable in the park.
Next to the tree was water flowing from two sides of the rock flanking a small tree, they were cleaning themselves there.
Then they saw some little fairies playing flying around, Maura and Dewi approached them and all the fairies stopped their activities.
They came together and formed a form that they were very familiar with.
"Kamaru.." muttered Dewi Srikandi looking haru at him.
The figure looks different from the people they met earlier, this form looks brighter and the face is more radiant.
She smiled sweetly at Maura and Dewi Srikandi, and let them sit in the flower garden.
"Have you met my other figure?" said gently.
Maura and Dewi nodded slowly, this new Kamaru figure was so different he was so gentle, friendly and welcomed them so well.
"Me or him, same thing. My soul is divided in two, because of the witch. Almost half of my life he controlled under his magic, until I died and was locked up in the forest with some genies and other evil witches.
But he forgot, behind it all there is an almighty who has everything. Half of my soul is drawn here by the power, if my soul is in the forest is lost by another evil being, then my soul which is divided into several parts becomes the little fairies that you saw earlier fused into one, one, that is me now.
And, now I am who I am again and completely free from the witch" he said with a smile staring at the lake in front of them.
"So, the Kamaru we met in the forest had already been lost by Arion Gaharu's army?" ask Goddess Srikandi not to believe.
"It is certain, because the new me has been reborn. Thanks to you" he smiled.
"No, you saved us. You also have your own power to change and redeem your own sins by sacrificing yourself to protect us" said Maura sage.
Kamaru and Dewi looked at each other, they hugged each other and forgave each other. Maura is happy to see the Goddess willing to make peace with her past.
