The After 150
Safeness
“Dirga... Have you ever imagined, how this place will look during the day.” I asked while looking at the dark sky.
“At noon yes, because now summer the possibility of the lake in the middle of it will bring out a beautiful sparkle, the bird will be very noisy and also, it will certainly be very hot here.”
“Do you want to see him dirga? The beauty of this place during the day?”
“Of course, but you know? Night in summer is not that bad.”
Dirga then went down the hill and walked into the forest
“Where are you going?”
“Already come, there's something I want to make sure.”
The atmosphere of the forest in this place is very calm, the darkness of this place does not give the slightest fear, in every I feel cold I see the dirga in front of me and I hold her warm hands tightly.
As soon as I held her hand she turned to face me and smiled broadly, her existence gave me a sense of security I had nothing to worry about as long as I was with her.
“We're almost there, let's get excited!!” Passion with passion
Hidden behind the forestry was a vast puddle of water, shaped like a miniature lake, between the lake were flying fireflies, sparkling yellow and green colors surrounding the puddle.
“Rara tau kah, fireflies are very friendly creatures and love to dance, and, where I come from when someone in pairs is between thousands of fireflies then they have to dance together with the fireflies.”
“Really?? Too bad I can't do it, I've never tried or taught before.”
Dirga then knelt before me and extended his hand.
“I will help you, Rara will you dance with me among thousands of happy fireflies?”
When I was with him, it seemed like I was going very slowly, I really enjoyed every moment I spent with him.
I want to forever enjoy this moment, the longer I stay with her the more I fall into her grasp. “When it continues like this I am not willing to let go of his hand grip.”
…
This forest should be clean from the threat of wild creatures, but this place is not completely clean with the evil intentions of foreigners.
I was made unconscious when the other children were in a storm ahead, then they quickly led me to escape into the depths of the deep forest.
As I began to realize I saw the flames of the bonfire and there were two grown men sitting there talking, I couldn't do anything about it because my legs and arms were tied so tightly.
Honestly, I felt so scared that there was nothing more to think of than a delusion where I could return to the village and hug my aunt tightly, she said, I could only sit imagining that while crying quietly hoping for a miracle to happen.
And sure enough, suddenly something seemed to pat my shoulder and when I heard the whisper of Karsa I could think more calmly.
“Don't move don't talk, I'll try to untie this.” The whisper of Karsa in my ear
Using a small knife Karsa tried to cut the rope that tied my legs and arms together, with his very small blade it took quite a lot of time to cut the strong rope that was binding.
Until suddenly while cutting the rope, accidentally the knife hurt my arm, because I was surprised I accidentally let out a little sound and made the thieves standby, when one of the thieves turned around he saw the loose leg ties and also Karsa who was trying to untie my arms.
“Rara run!! While you still have time!”
Karsa and I then ran in the opposite direction in order to make the thieves separate.
“Don't think you can run away princess!!”
Shouted one of the thieves who was chasing.
With my small body I could only run among the bushes and impede the movement of the thorns, though through the thick and thorny bushes it was very painful I only thought to
blurred.
When Karsa crossed my mind I began to feel doubt, if I go and survive will Karsa also find the same fate?
“Rara !! Come!.” The cry of Karsa that was heard among the forest trees
I followed the source of the voice that led me to a pile of bushes in the distance, as I ran into the pile of bushes as it appeared and hit the vital part of the thief very strongly.
“Karsa.. thank goodness.” With a sense of relief I hugged Karsa but at the same time the other thief appeared behind us
“Basic fucking boy !!” The thief pulled the carcass and threw it hard into the tree.
“Rara... run.. fast...” Call Karsa slowly trying to endure the pain.
“Hehh you are trying to act strong now huh..” Call that thief while constantly beating and kicking Karsa.
I did not dare to move, in my mind I kept shouting to ask them to stop, I again felt frightened after before thinking that everything was over, but why.
And then there was a soft whistling sound among the tall trees
“What sound is it?? Is there someone there!!? if you're going to do something weird, I'll take the lives of these kids!!” Shouted the thief while pointing a knife at Karsa and pulled my hair
That smooth whistling sound followed by the sound of the sharp objects clanging gave a cold aura to the people who heard it, then behind the dense night fog appeared a black-robed figure that was pulling a large and sharp jagged sword.
When the figure opened her veil I felt very happy, her old face and filled with wounds extinguished the overflowing fear in my heart, I could finally feel calm.
“Daughter Kirana... Can you close your eyes?? Also cover your ears please.”
I followed the chief's orders and at that very moment without my knowledge the beast hunter leader moved very quickly to raise his weapon and cut off the head of the thief who caught Us, he said, the blood of the thief was pouring on his partner's face while the whistling sound grew louder.
When the thief who was in pain after being beaten up looked up, in his view there was a group of death angels who were ready to take his life were sitting on a forest tree, he quickly ran into the depths of the forest while shouting loudly
…
“What Beast Hunter is also chasing him??” Ask Dirga
“No, they let it go then immediately help me and Karsa.”
“Yes thank goodness then, Fortunately the other children went to the beast hunter hut, then the beast hunters moved very quickly and arrived just in time.”
“Yaa right, right?? They can really count on.”
“But you know Ra?? It's true that what you're telling me is terrible, but on the other hand it's part of the adventure isn't it??”
“Ya, part of a new adventure.”
While Dirga and I were talking, suddenly my body started to fade first and I heard the voice of my aunt who kept trying to wake me up.
“It looks like it's time for me to wake up.”
“Yeah tonight goes by faster ya.”
As my body grew faded we watched the dawn rise between the twin mountains, then as the sun shone on me slowly my body disappeared and I waved at Dirga as I left her.
After I no longer saw Dirga, there was only black and my body in pain was being rushed up in haste, as I tried to open my eyes with a faded look I saw the embers, the fire, people were falling, and a hasty aunt took me.
“THAT'S HIM THERE!!”
I heard the sound of arrows and I was thrown far enough away, I no longer saw the aunt I saw was just the starry night sky and filled with orange spots, I heard the sound of a slow step and saw the silver-armored figure between the sky and the red speck.
“It's okay Princess Kirana... now you're safe..”.
