The Hand Power Of God
Chapters 1. The Underground Room

Chapter 1

The atmosphere in the Dominican family room was tense due to their single son's debate with both parents. Rico, 18, wants to spend his holidays with school friends. However, his parents told him to visit his grandfather who was in the mountains. 

"You should go to Grandpa's house!" robin's orders to Rico's only son.

"No want! It's so boring living in grandpa's house" the young man in plain black shirt argued.

The mother—Rebecca— shook her head at the quarrel between her husband and son. This often happens if the two people have different views. However, if they have the same mind always act compact.

"If you don't want to go to grandpa's house, then your pocket money for two months will be daddy cut!" threatening Robin.

Hearing his father's threat, Rico inevitably had to obey his wishes. Because, he still relies on his parents, if he wants to have money.

"alright. I'm willing to go to grandfather's house, as long as my pocket money is doubled," replied the brownish-black unraveling man.

Eventually, Robin agreed to her son's wishes. As long as Rico you want to go to his parents' house to see the situation there.

***

The journey from the city to the mountains where Rico's grandfather's house is located takes almost all day. This is because the distance is so far and remote.

The Mugen Mountains are famous for their protected forests and natural wealth of flora and fauna protected by the government. This is where Regan's grandfather, a famous archaeologist from the country of Aldora, lives. Cool and clean air temperatures are good for health. Because, the old man often experienced pain if not in the city. Usually every two months Riko's parents come to visit him here. However, this month they are being preoccupied with a very important state task.

In the middle of the wilderness stood a sturdy and large house, although it looked very old model of the building.

An old man was sitting reading in the front porch of the house.

"Grandfa," call Rico.

"Rico, you've finally come here!" reply Regan while standing up and stretching out both hands asking that it is very suitable to embrace her.

"I'm glad you could come here. It's been a long time, the last time you visited this house five years ago," Regan said, hugging the body of her grandson, who has now grown taller than her.

"It's because I'm busy at school" Rico said.

"Come, in! You rest first, must be very tired after a long trip," asked Regan while holding Rico's hand into the house.

The afternoon atmosphere illuminated by the twilight shade makes the house turn a reddish yellow color. Rico stood on the balcony of his room, staring at the sun that was about to sink. However, there was something that looked awkward from his point of view. The perfectly round moon seemed to have its shadow in the afternoon sky. Likewise there were a few stars there, which Rico himself did not know what his name was.

"Is the view here always like this?" Rico monologued as he stared at the yellowish-red sky.

***

After breakfast Rico came to his grandfather's study. There Regan shows a lot of antiques that have history. Lots of artifacts and also paper scrolls whose color is very dull, yellowish brown.

"What is this, Grandfa?" rico asked while pointing at a box.

"It was the dragon's eye stone. The big gem was red like blood," Regan replied as she fixed her gaze on the object made of wood.

"Can I see?" ask Rico curiously.

"Be seen, but do not touch!" regan answered and he went back to reading a group in a special closet.

As soon as Rico opened the box, there was a very large and beautiful gemstone in deep red. He wanted to touch it, but his grandfather forbade it. This young man glanced at the grandfather who was now waiting for him.

'Evenience.' (Players)

The man in white took the gemstone inside the box. He paid attention to every detail of the shape of the piece.

'This jewel if seen as rough, but if held turns out smooth and smooth.' (Players)

After being satisfied to see the red stone, Rico immediately put it back in the box. After the box was closed, it turned out that the gemstone was emitting light without the young man knowing.

"What book is this?" rico asked while holding a black book wrapped in animal skin.

"That's what ancient mantras contained," Regan replied after turning her face toward the granddaughter.

"Are you interested in history?" ask Regan.

"Yes, that's fine" Rico replied.

"In the underground library there are so many historical objects if you want to see them" Regan continued while sitting in front of Rico.

***

Rico goes to the library in the basement. It turns out that there are very many items of historical value. Especially the pre-history. All of that is placed in the glass cabinet.

"Waws, swords, axes, spears, shields, and what is this?" Rico saw a pair of knife-shaped weapons, but it was somewhat larger. Shorter than a sword. There was a jewel ornament at the end of his handle.

The young soul of Rico churned out wanting to know the history of the objects that were there. Who the owner is, there's a story behind it. 

The young man is now walking through the shelves of books. The light brown sliced netra caught a book placed in the middle of the room on a table.

'What book is this?' 

Rico opened the book and was surprised when the light suddenly appeared from the book. Then, the light enveloped the body of this young man.

"What's this?" Rico felt an enormous power and pulled himself in.

"Please!" roico shouted with all his might.

***

Rico wakes up in a rocky wasteland. There was no one there, just empty land.

"Where is this?" murmured Rico was still circulating his gaze.

The young man also saw a settlement under the foothills. Then he walked in that direction. Who knows if someone can help him.

After a long walk, because the place is very far, finally Rico reached the residential area. The man saw the house there like a building of antiquity. He also looked for residents there to be asked for help. There was a man in a field not far from him. Rico approached the man.

"Excuse me, Uncle?" greet Rico.

The old man looked strangely at Rico. He looked at the young man's situation, from head to toe. Seeing the appearance and clothes worn by him felt strange.

"Please! Help u! There was a stranger" the old man shouted and made the people who were inside the house on the outside.

"Where are the strangers?" yelled at the people who had just arrived.

Seeing that Rico became panicked, let alone the many citizens who carried weapons running towards him. So, he ran as hard as he could. 

He ran towards a mountain filled with many plants. Fortunately there was a cave, he quickly went in there. Rico's breath was wheezing, because fatigue had run very far. He went into the cave even deeper. There was a light dot in the middle of the cave. As soon as he approached the place, there was a huge stone statue. 

"This is an animal statue?" murmured Rico while paying attention to the shape that resembles a legendary animal.

Rico sat leaning against a rock. Unconsciously he immediately fell asleep, closing his eyes. 

Time passed quickly, and now night had enveloped the world. Rico opened his eyes, there was a moonlight coming in from the roof of the cave. 

"It's a full moon tonight, isn't it?" Rico turned his head to look at the sky that was visible from there. Once he turned his attention to a stone engraved with ancient writing. The young man walked up to him. The huge stone illuminated by the light of the full moon was displaying inscriptions engraved on it.

"When the holy soul is awakened by the power of the gods. So, it's appropriate that he be his guardian."

Rico read the ancient inscriptions engraved on the stone. Then, there was the sound of cracks and falling rocks. When the young man looked at the large statue earlier, how shocked he was when a light came out from the cracks.

"What's this?" Rico's face immediately pale when he saw the stone statue earlier, it turned out that there was something inside.

"What is that thing?" Rico stared in fear, amazement, and disbelief at the creature that was now spreading its two large and wide wings.

***

What kind of creature is that? How was Rico's adventure in the foreign land? Wait for it to go, yeah!
