The Heir of the Sea
Ethan's promise...

Baruna went back into the cave (read: goa-red) and Ethan and Snowy were chatting while enjoying food.

"Lohs. Very quick. I'm going until morning" said Snowy mocked Baruna who was too fast with his affairs.

"There is no right answer. Wait for some time when I meet new I finish" said Baruna casually sitting between Ethan and Snowy.

"Shed? What's the?" Ethan did not understand.

'He's innocent or stupid for falling in love with you?' Snowy asked through the inner on Baruna.

'Be quiet!' Reply Baruna.

"It's none of your business!" Baruna said firmly.

Baruna took a piece of sweet mango and devoured it.

Ethan accidentally sees a blood stain on Baruna's hand. Ethan's reflex grabbed Baruna's hand and cleaned it.

"What?" Ask Baruna wonder.

"Ah no. I saw some shit" Ethan said with a smile.

Ethan begins to adjust to the life of a different creature with him. It is not bad, after all, to live in that cozy cave (read :goa-red). Free from noise and other things.

Ethan forgets he has a family. The mother was very afraid to look for him because there was no news.

At Ethan's house looks like Mrs Christian is calling again psychic Jill.

"Where's my son? His car was found on a large road leading to the coastal oantai. But it had been days that no one could find it" Madam Christian asked withstanding her tears.

Of course Ethan's parents are upset over the sudden loss of his son. Even the son could not be contacted. His phone was left in the car and the man could not be found. It was already the third day that there was not even a trace of where his dear son was.

"He's still alive He was saved by the girl who saved the Madam the other day" Jill said as she tried to see through her inner eyes.

"You sure? Did ya? Why didn't he come back?" Ask Mrs Christian worriedly.

"He'll be back. Calm down, Madam. He's with the right creatures. Only that girl can protect the Madam's son. There will be many more events. I hope the madam is prepared for all possibilities. And my message yesterday about the painting please be carried out immediately so that no more bad events attack the madam's family. It's the only thing that can protect the madam's family" said psychic Jill.

"alright. I'll take care of it right away. Who would want to harm our family? Though we never seek enemies or hurt anyone" Mrs Christian said.

"Anything can be the cornerstone of people hating us madam. There are many things that can make people hate us. But it's very difficult to make excuses so that we can be liked" explained psychic Jill.

Mrs Christian is only able to believe Jill's psychic words at this time. Because no matter how he seeks, will be as strong as any team is deployed. There is no answer about Ethan's whereabouts as well as his condition. Mrs Christian just wishes Ethan had survived. He'll thank you and do whatever his son wants to do well.

The fifth day Ethan lives with Baruna and Snowy. His body is certainly very improved. Even he was able to exercise himself in the cave (read:goa-red).

"It seems you're in total health. It's time for you to get out of here" Baruna said as she watched Ethan push up alone.

"You kicked me out?" Ask Ethan to worry. He was afraid that if he went from there then he would no longer be able to meet Baruna.

"Your place is not in this nature. You are a human being, not a creature from another world" Baruna said firmly.

"Then you?" Ethan asked Baruna again.

"I'm no longer a human being. Don't go too far into my world if you don't want to end up as ashes like the creatures of yesterday" Baruna said coldly.

Baruna left Ethan alone in that place. Being with Ethan for too long makes something he doesn't understand hurt.

Baruna's heart felt slashed. Not his heart anymore. But the baruna's heart ached every too long talking to Ethan. Things he'd never experienced before.

When she first met Ethan, Baruna did not feel this way. Now the longer he met Ethan himself felt something painful, whether it was even Baruna himself did not understand.

Baruna chose to go around the beach in another form. Helping some sea creatures caught by garbage dumped by humans in the sea.

"It's so dirty these humans. Just destroy the sea!" Baruna said irritatedly while picking up some of the trash she found.

Baruna heard the sound of fish and other creatures thanking Baruna for cleaning the sea for them.

"Eat already? Here I bring food for us" said Snowy who took the time to buy human food for Baruna and Ethan.

"You yourself? Already eaten?" Ethan asks who is getting along with Snowy. Only Snowy could he exercise and talk casually because Baruna always avoids him and only talks as necessary.

"Before returning. Eat first. Humans can die if they don't eat properly" Snowy said.

"I'll eat with Baruna. Where's she?" Ethan asked astonishedly looking for Baruna in the cave (read :goa-red).

"Maybe outside looking at the sea. Wanna get out? If it's night like this the east coast is deserted because here is not the main tourist attraction" said Snowy offer.

During his time there Ethan had never come out of the cave (read : goa-red). Baruna forbids him from leaving because it is safest for Ethan to avoid being attacked by unknown creatures.

"Can. I've never enjoyed the ocean at night" Ethan said enthusiastically.

Snowy opens a cave portal (read: goa-red) so Ethan can get out of the place. Both walk from the beach. Baruna looked up to look out towards the sea. The waves sounded calm, the wind also did not blow too hard did not dare to touch Baruna.

"That's her. Ah you guys talk. I'm gonna go find some young coconuts. Thirsty!" Said Snowy leaving Ethan and then running fast somewhere.

Ethan walked slowly closer to Baruna fearing to disturb her.

"What's up here? I told you not to just go out" said Baruna, who knew Ethan was there.

"Sorry to bother you. I just want to take you out to eat together" Ethan said softly.

"I'm not hungry yet" replied Baruna briefly.

The two fell silent together. A beautiful night sea in the light of the moon. It is very romantic when viewed by ordinary people. But if seen by the inner eye there are many creatures that are not clear form is around there. Only no one dared to come near and disturb Baruna. Unless they want to be crushed to ashes by Baruna.

"Tomorrow you should come back. Your family is looking for you" Baruna said. He heard some people around the beach looking for a young man who left his car not far from the beach. Of course it's predictable that what they're looking for is Ethan.

"Maybe they're other killers" Ethan said casually.

"Nobody can hurt you as much as you want as long as I've marked" Baruna said.

When Ethan is asleep. He marks Ethan with a drop of his blood. So each Ethan is approached by another creature and if it is dangerous, there will be someone to protect Ethan.

Baruna didn't want to do that. But Queen Peacock urged her and said "You've sworn then you must obey".

Baruna had no choice but to follow the words of Queen Peacock. Moreover Dragon Qiulong seemed to not refute the words of the Peacock Queen.

" You're protecting me?" Ethan asked with sparkling eyes. Of course he was very happy if Baruna protected him from close by.

"Forced. I can't go against stronger orders. You understand what I mean? Don't think I did it because I like you!" Baruna said firmly.

Baruna doesn't want Ethan to misunderstand or hope for the impossible. Besides Baruna never liked Ethan, he was also just busy and focused on his main affairs. They are also different worlds. The wrong thing if Ethan hopes to get close to Baruna.

"Whatever it is I'm happy. Can I find you at any time?" Ethan asked hoping.

"I told you not to expect the impossible. We are different in nature. Remember that!" Strictly Baruna did not want to be denied.

But not Ethan if he's not trying to achieve what he wants. Even with her persistence she was now able to meet Baruna, despite having to be on the verge of death first.

Ethan desperately kisses Baruna's lips. Baruna was glued for a few seconds. The waves seemed to roar loudly.

"I promise.. Ah no.. I swear I will protect you with my life. Don't avoid me anywhere. I'll keep all your secrets and I'll help you achieve what you want" Ethan said.

A ray of light comes out of Ethan's eyes but Ethan doesn't realize he can't even feel it. Only Baruna could see that. Baruna was so shocked, she did not understand what was happening.

"You...."
