The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 23 letters

In Daniel's mind who was in the mirror? To be sure it was an evil spirit sealed there, why didn't he know about it?

Put the book on the table, now the curiosity turned out to be true maybe the spirit was the one who made his daughter become like that, but it was not something that was surprising given that her daughter was in a difficult situation and that it determined her future. If he knew it it might have been avoided, but it was all over.

Daniel spread his gaze to look at the exit, a woman standing majestically in the middle of looking at Daniel, she was very beautiful and resolute.

Daniel closed his eyes and shook his head, in front of him was the person he knew, his wife, who had died, but why was he standing in front of her, what a strange occurrence! Danel closed his eyes so that his wife would be gone.

No more that figure makes Daniel relieved. “maaf.” I don't know who he said to.

Then he fell asleep.

The next day he resumed his journey, after breakfast in the forest.

Daniel continued to walk through the village that was crowded with citizen activity, until again there was a forest that separated. He asked why the forest was again? Although it was very profitable for him, yet someone would definitely ask him something strange!

Daniel ran and jumped, because the branches of trees are shady and many make it faster to get out of the forest.

This time open a village or the like that welcomes it, a garden full of flowers, peaches, roses, jasmine that is blooming. In the middle there is a pond that is not so big, the pool has clear water even the bottom is visible from above and unlike most ponds that contain mud, the pool has clear water, there are only beautiful colorful pebbles. If someone reaches out his head to look at the water it is clearly visible clean waves, especially when illuminated by the sun will look radiant.

On the surface were lotus plants decorating it, the lotus was a clean purple color. There are no eggs attached to the stem. The leaves look beautiful decorate the pond, lotus flower buds there are some that rise to the top with beautiful, purple with clean white sari.

There was no Fish, only a tadpole and a sakura tree right in the middle of the pond, the tree was large and wrinkled, towering, its root roots gripping a few meters high from the trunk, and it was very small, the branches formed a large dome like an umbrella, the branches almost touching the water because of the weight bearing the blossoming cherry blossoms. No petals of cherry blossoms fall, because the tree is just flowering.

Daniel approached her and washed her face gently, fresh, yes that's how he felt, how cool it was when he first touched her, from months he didn't feel it. He then left while spreading his gaze to the garden. Why do people build a park in the middle of the forest? And so clean as if it were cleaned every day.

Daniel quickly jumped from one tree to another. It was at the border of the forest, a great river flowing fast in front of it, it was a three-flow river that passed through the western Uttarian city, but was different from the Uttarian city, the river has no valley. The river flow was so swift and wide, the depth of the river was very shallow, the rocks became the base.

Daniel followed the banks of the river, knowing that there must be a village near the river, like all life, water is one of the conditions for life. He ran and jumped up and was accompanied by the sound of flowing river water that created a vague yet beautiful tone, he also vaguely heard his wife Sura as he lived.

Throughout his journey it turns out his decision was wrong; there was no life around the river! But he still followed him, hope still adorned his feelings, especially in front of him there was a tall waterfall with high stone walls and no way out, make Daniel convinced that the cause of the inhabitants is not there because there is no road to the bottom. He did not jump or continue on, he sat on one of the large stones on the edge of the river and then took out a crystal, how excited was seen on his face as the crystal reacted to make him relieved.

“finally.” He muttered with Sura's relief.

With the book out again, there were only a few more pages that he had not read.

At night I went out for a while to find Wiwik with the little scrolls I had brought. His performance in front of their guards looked at me with a sharp gaze, should I be seen that way? One of them said. “mr princess if there is another you want, we can help you?”

“But princess.” His refusal wanted to stop me, but I had prepared a strong answer and he definitely would not be able to answer.

“do you guys want to stop me so?.” I told them to corner them.

“Who are you? I just want to see the night sky, I'm not going anywhere.”

They did not retaliate, maybe their thoughts were messed up from my attack earlier, I left without anyone stopping.

As I was above I called Wiwit's name several times, I knew they would definitely hear, but they would not be suspicious, because there were no birds trained like that here.

After calling her, I waited a little. The night breeze I felt passed through both sides of my shoulders gently, the tenderness was no more like a deadly frenzy, like a slowly growing disease and then attacking with its brutality.

Wiwik did not come, I called him once more and waited for him, just as he was about to call him again, he was seen approaching, if not for the clear weather and filled with the stars I might have seen him.

He perched on the wall, in front of me, I immediately stroked him. I hadn't stroked her for a long time, and then I looked around, made sure everything was safe, and tied it.

“Sorry, troublesome.” I said while stroking it.

“Go.” He flew away, I just waved my hand and surely he didn't turn to look at me. I smiled looking at him. The day I got the letter, my heart was so happy when I was with my father, the emptiness was no longer felt, could this be what it would be like to have friends?

I went back to the room and immediately threw down my body.

A month later he came, and I covered Wiwit's body so that the letter would not be seen by the servant.

I stroked her gently, after being satisfied I told her to leave and ordered her to return later.

The night he returned, I immediately took the letter and read it.

My father died a few years ago, I was very sad, my feelings were hit by something that really hard made me sad for days. In my heart I always wonder why they do that ? And trying to find the answer, but I can't, I'm too weak. It is painful to lose someone, let alone someone who is closest to us, there is only one in this world.

I just sat there, always wondering why? until my mother stood by me and gave me her solution, it made me understand that my father was destined to leave us both, it was a fate that could not be changed; it was a fate that could not be changed; death will always come to living beings.

It's a pity if you're not surprised, but I won't answer your question, she said no wonder.

You won't understand if you don't visit our village. Where do you live by the way? Whether in a palace, a harem, or something else.

Indeed, if you see it, you may fall in love with our village, but remember that beautiful looks are not necessarily beautiful.
