The Heir of the Sea
How Can?

"You can see me?" Baruna asked with a surprised look.

"Yes certainly Una. Why?"  Ethan asked who was astonished by Baruna's attitude.

"I didn't bring my rough body. I am now in the form of a spirit. There's no way you can see and touch me"

Clearly Baruna was very surprised Ethan could not only see his spirit form but could also touch it.

"Eh. Youre right. I saw Avisa's body still in the village hall. But I don't see the look on Avisa's face so I'm out looking for you"

Ethan was honest.

Ethan then tells what happens when everyone is asleep. How did he get out into the woods.

Actually he was already exhausted but somehow he felt that something was bothering him. He woke up and saw the figure of Avisa still sleeping tired.

Ethan smiled and was about to return to the body. But a moment later he looked at the face of Avisa's figure again. He could not find Baruna's face in it. Because as long as Baruna uses the figure of Avisa, Ethan can always see Baruna's face briefly appear on Avisa's face.

Ethan holds Avisa's body and is so cold that like there is no blood, he checks that his pulse is not beating, but that the body is still breathing.

I don't know what makes Ethan sure Baruna isn't in that body. He remembered Baruna looking seriously at the talk about the ghost of Palasik in the village. Ethan thinks Baruna is looking for the lake.

Ethan goes out to see if he can find the palasic figure. And that's when he walked into the forest and saw Baruna there.

"I don't know. That's what I can explain to you. I'm not lying"

Ethan told Baruna everything.

Of course Baruna believes Ethan wasn't lying. Indeed that would happen to Avisa's body if Baruna's spirit came out of that body.

But what makes Baruna feel awkward is how Ethan can see his spirit and touch it like that.

Strange things according to Baruna.

"We go back first. It would be weird if people saw you in the woods and the next day they found the bodies of the palasic culprits"

Baruna said, leading Ethan out of the forest safely and they returned to the village hall.

Baruna's spirit reentered his rough body. She can't sleep anymore and neither can Ethan.

The two decided to make a warm tea and sat outside the hall chatting.

"It's tea for you"

Ethan says a glass of tea to Baruna.

"Thank you"

Said Baruna receiving the warm tea and sipping it slowly.

"That's weird. If I shouldn't be able to see that spirit why did I?"

Without Ethan to Baruna. Both are equally confused.

Then Baruna remembered she had not told him about what she knew about Kaimana.

"Ah yes Et. Actually there's something I want to tell you. And maybe I need your help too"

"Say. Whatever it is I'll help you with"

Ethan has always been very supportive and caring for Baruna. Whatever Baruna needs, she will fulfill.

"I was yesterday heading to the western palace. The mermaid queen died in an unknown man's murder and the moon pearl inside her was stolen"

"Moon pearls?"

Ethan sounds confused. There are so many things that confuse him about the magical world.

This new thing moreover. Moon pearls? Jeez Ethan got confused with the many phenomena that occurred.

One of them saw the form of Palasik directly. The shape of a terrible head with the intestines of the heart and his friends hanging.

It can be said that Ethan was nauseous to see the creature, lucky that he could refrain from looking weak in front of Baruna.

"Yes it's one of the 3 great Mustika. And it should not fall into the hands of humans or other creatures carelessly. It can be disastrous if misused"

"And you want me to help you find that thing in the human world?" ethan Teraka.

"Yes right. You know a lot of people. There may be a prankster who kills the mermaid queen and takes her pearl to sell as an antique to the rich"

Obviously Baruna then.

Ethan nodded in understanding. He accepted Baruna's request.

"You said it was one of the 3 big mustika. So what's 2 more?"

Ethan asked curiously.

"The word of the Dragon King. It had the Dragon Pearl and Eagle Chakra. If the three are combined it will be a very large force that can shake the earth's sea and sky"

Baruna.

"The rest of you are safe?"

Ethan asked curiously.

"Yes. The Dragon Pearl is inside my body as it turns out"

Baruna's words that made Ethan surprised as well.

"What??"

Ethan was surprised. Strange thing he's new with again. It all sounds impossible.

"You don't believe it, do you? Me too"

Baruna.

"It's not. I mean, that thing should be in some kind of magical creature, right? While moon pearls are also in the mermaid queen. So why are dragon pearls in your human body. And why even you can have a hard time and have to be like this. It should protect you, right?"

Ethan asked critically. It's true what Ethan said. It's not just Ethan who's confused. Baruna was confused too.

"I don't understand either" replied Baruna briefly.

"And the eagle chakra is on the eagle god?"

Ask Ethan to make sure.

"Stop it. He said no one knew where it was. My job is to find the moon pearl and secure it"

Answer Baruna again.

"Alright I'll help you as much as I can. What's it look like?"

Ethan asks Baruna again.

"Look at a glance like ordinary pearls, but in every hour if you notice the color is always changing - change"

Baruna explained what the moon's pearls were like.

"And when the night is full, he will reflect a beautiful full moon. Its power can increase only during the full moon"

Obviously Baruna again.

Ethan seemed to be breathing heavily. Inevitably she had to believe and help because Baruna told her about it. Baruna trusts Ethan completely.

"I'll help you. Believe it"

Ethan said with a sweet smile.

The two then discuss something else until the chickens start crowing.
