The Dusk Boundary
Eps. 08 (ritual)

Out of curiosity Raya followed where Ali went. Likewise with Manda who always follows Raya. Until they forget that the goal is to find Lily.

By settling the precipitate not so far from Ali, Raya and Manda kept an eye on what Ali was doing. There is nothing strange according to Raya, but not for Manda. He felt something strange was lurking around them. Lucky because every night the condition of the village is always quiet. It is likely not the villagers who will arrest them.

"Ray..The horror!" Manda grabbed her jacket and approached Raya. Raya and Manda always keep a safe distance from Ali, so Ali is not aware of their existence.

"We deserve to be detectives Ray.so we're gonna end up investigating a case!" manda whispers make Raya a little creepy.

"We are detectives. Detective horror.xixxixi" Raya began to scare Nakuti Manda who always asked her to joke from earlier, but was tense.

They arrived at Ali's house. Like last noon Raya hid behind the same tree as where she was hiding earlier, because from there Raya could circulate her gaze around Ali's house even all the roads that were there. That way Raya can find out quickly if there may be people who will pass.

"When are we here?" manda whispered began to worry because the atmosphere was getting gripping. Who knows if someone has seen them.

"A little while!" I was still watching Ali's house. Looks like he's sure that Ali's going out of the house again.

And Raya's guess is right. Ali's out of the house to the backyard. Because it is invisible from view, Raya moved to find another hiding place that could make her see Ali. Manda followed him faithfully.

Raya and Manda are now beside Ali's house. They leaned against the wall of Ali's house. Every now and then they peeked, seeing what Ali was doing behind the house.

Manda who from earlier creeps increasingly agitated. Many times he looked the other way because he felt that someone was watching them. But not with Raya who is still curious about what Ali is doing. Raya continued to focus her gaze on Ali. While Manda still holds the nape of his neck that feels cold.

"When's yuk Ray home?" bring Manda.

"A little while!" raya's answer still sees Ali. Raya was surprised to see Ali take out a session. Sesajen in a tray containing a black chicken that had been slaughtered by Ali. Raya kept watching what Ali would do next.

"What did Bang Ali do Ray? is he a shaman?" asked Manda who was curious to see Ali. Raya just kept quiet and signaled Manda to keep her mouth shut.

Ali started the ritual. Did Ali follow a cult? why does he have to do activities like shamans do in movies? He was getting curious about Ali. If the premonition is true that Ali embraced a cult, there will soon be a sighting of a subtle creature that becomes his master.

"Ray.fear it! let's go!" Manda whined back at Raya, but Raya ignored him.

"Shuuutt. shut up!! soon there will be something exciting!" Raya continued to pay attention to Ali.

And sure enough, Manda began to see strange apparitions not far from where he stood.

"Ray.there's a white hanging. That's what Ray is?" Manda held tightly onto Raya's hand and closed her eyes. Raya circulated her gaze and saw also the appearance of a pocong figure beside a banana tree in the house of Ali's neighbor. But Raya ignored him.

"Be quiet! don't look!" whisper Raya to Manda. Manda was very scared.

Because it was not able to stand it, Manda went home first to leave Raya.

The curious still watched Ali. He had no regard for Manda's departure. Manda must be safe if you go straight home, her mind.

Because the figure of the master who was in Raya's mind never appeared, Raya also ventured to meet Ali.

"Who was Ali?" tanya surprised Ali. Ali who saw Raya immediately took her shirt and put it on.

"What are you doing here?" snapped Ali. Raya was a little surprised to hear it, but tried to remain calm.

"I should have asked! what did Ali do? bang Ali doesn't pray? Do you do the deeds of a priest? worship besides Allah?" Raya doesn't want to lose.

"You what are you? go home! don't interfere!" Ali was getting angry at Raya. The Kingdom that felt the hostile aura from Ali rewinded its steps.

"Go home and don't go out after Magrib!" continued Ali. Silence does not answer.

"Go!" snapped Ali.

Raya felt pain in her chest when she yelled at Ali, she ran away from Ali. For some reason Raya suddenly cried considering Ali's loud voice. But when a little far from Ali's house, Raya realized if she wanted to know what would happen next to Ali. He returned to Ali's house. This time he was looking for a place that he thought was safe from Ali's view. Forgetting her crying.

Ali started his ritual again from the beginning. Because what he had done earlier had been thwarted by Raya.

"Why did that woman show up here? just interrupt!" Ali started to concentrate. He has repeatedly mispronounced the spell.

Ali returned to speaking the Spirit summoning spell. The offering he gave was presented on the table complete with his attributes. Not long after, a strong wind blew. The Kingdom that had not felt what Manda felt, now began to fidget.

The mystical aura began to be felt. Suddenly, many fine creatures surrounded Ali. Raya continued to read the verse of the chair and other letters that he memorized. And the verse of the holy verse read by Raya makes it protected from the appearance of the subtle creature .

Raya kept seeing strange events in front of her. The kingdom that since childhood can see strange apparitions is not afraid of the subtle creatures that are around Ali. Raya continues to follow the continuation of the Ali ritual.

Ali also presented the black chicken that he had slaughtered as a god. The delicate creatures that surrounded him no one came close. They just surround Ali.

Before long the figure of a creature appeared before Ali. Ali seemed to say something to the creature, but was not heard by Raya. Instantly the creature devoured a deity from Ali and disappeared.

Ali then recited more spells that made the subtle creatures around him one by one leave Ali. The kingdom is getting creepy, he did not expect if Ali had such spiritual power.

Raya looks around. The subtle-beings that passed through the Kingdom just stared at him and left that place. Not a single creature came to the Kingdom. It seems they know if the Kingdom can see them.

Ali left the place and went into the house. Raya immediately ran home.
