The King Of Priests
the long lost story of hasgia

It's been three hours since Hansel, wilson and lucy left the town of marlene.there's no sign someone will give them a ride though the three are desperate for it to happen. the north path is not as crowded as the east path to the axioms. Along the way, not many people who cross paths with Hansel, wilson and lucy and do not look friendly at all.

the journey was very difficult because they had to pass through the wilderness.The sun was already overhead and decided to rest for a while. Hansel's face was red due to heat while wilson and lucy were sweating very profusely. despite being under shady trees, sunlight still enters through the sidelines of the foliage and makes Hansel, wilson and lucy still feel tremendous heat.

lucy sparingly brought out the food and drink she had bought at the marlene. Three loaves of bread named riba became their lunch menu today. this bread is oval and contains chopped fish meat. Hansel really likes fish meat and then makes this bread one of his favorites. hansel ate very voraciously even he ate two loaves of bread at once with sparkling eyes and a happy face.wilson and lucy who saw Hansel could only sigh and laugh at Hansel's childish behavior. they were quite enjoying the break this time until unknowingly a little boy noticed the three of them.

"master priest, are you on your way to Hasgia?" the little boy asked innocently but managed to shock Hansel, wilson and lucy.

hansel was very surprised by the presence of the little boy.he almost attacked the boy with the power of his fire.Hansel was lucky to still be able to stop his attack before hitting the little boy. wilson was also very surprised but he was calmer than Hansel.Wilson quickly saw the donkey train that the little boy was driving.wilson told the boy that the three of them were heading to the village of Hylas. unexpectedly, the skinny little boy offered a ride up to hasgia. Of course Hansel, wilson and lucy agreed to accept the boy's offer even though to be honest the boy was somewhat suspicious. strangely enough a little boy was driving alone in the middle of a forest in a notoriously dangerous northern lane thought the three of them, there was no other choice for them if they wanted to get to the village of hylas faster.

the donkey car owned by the child was not as big as the property of the merchant master either hitchhiker from the aksitia to marlene. in addition, the child carriage was also pulled by a donkey and had a wagon without a roof and small.This donkey carriage also moves much slower than a horse carriage. moving slowly through the wilderness on the left and right side of the road.they continue to move slowly until it does not feel the sun has almost set.It is very dangerous for them to continue the journey at night. the road in front of them was increasingly invisible and the air was getting colder.The sounds of wild animals began to roar from a distance. At night, they were prey that were very vulnerable to attack.

hansel begins to be uncomfortable with this kind of situation as well as with wilson and lucy. hansel asks the boy to pull over for camping however, the, the boy continued to move while saying if there was an inn not far from their location.an inn in the middle of the forest is really unreasonable hansel thought really uncomfortable and continued to look around. occasionally Hansel also ensures the state of wilson and lucy who are in deep sleep.in contrast to hansel who likes to exercise, wilson and lucy more often spend their time indoors. given the long journey they had taken, wilson and lucy's stamina must have drained away Hansel's mind realized that and let them rest even though wilson told Hansel not to let him fall asleep.

the road before them was getting darker and there was only light from the oil lamp on the donkey carriage. Hansel was getting more worried because the sound of the beasts inside the forest was getting louder and closer. he also occasionally heard voices from within the bushes by the road. Hansel felt that he should stop and start standing. hansel put his hand on the boy's right shoulder before suddenly from behind the trees a bright light was seen in the darkness of the night. Slowly the donkey car approached the direction of the light and an inn stood firmly in the middle of the wilderness.

the boy immediately directed the donkey carriage into the inn. The inn was quite simple but very heavily guarded.There were about ten people around the inn, and there were about ten people, according to the boy the guards were also a priest. Hansel continued to watch the guards with unfriendly faces until they arrived in front of a cage. each inn must have a special cage for customers.in addition to the cage, there is also a warehouse to store wagons and large items. hansel wakes wilson and lucy before they leave the donkey and wagon in place.

this inn is not as big as the inn in marlene and is made entirely of wood, but, Hansel, wilson and lucy feel more comfortable in this inn. apart from being friendly hotel workers and the overnight room price was only five silver coins, the rooms in this inn were very comfortable. there is a very large mattress with a comfortable soft sofa plus two wooden chairs and windows facing directly to the north lane. their room also has a bathroom inside as well as a bathtub with warm water.

today, the four of them rested with the child in the donkey wagon. Initially, the boy refused to come with them and chose to sleep in the wagon. the boy continued to insist on refusing and long enough to hansel, the boy, wilson and Lucy manage to convince the boy to join them in their room.

the boy was named Leo. along the way none of them introduced themselves to each other and this was the best time to get to know each other. Hansel, wilson and lucy alternately introduced themselves to leo. leo also told the three of them a shocking story they had never heard before. Leo was born and raised in the city of Hasgia. since birth he has lived in an orphanage within the city of Hasgia although all the orphanages and some hasgias have been driven out of their own city.

leo continues his story and now he tells about hasgia. hasgia is the most famous city in the north of the athian kingdom. Hasgia is also one of the five major cities and the only major city in the north. but the fate of this city and the people in it is very sad.This city since its establishment has been led by a tyrant who is very cruel.The tyranny continues to oppress the citizens of hasgia for its own sake. the tyranny even taxed three times the official tax of the Athian kingdom and all of it was not for the sake of the hasgians but for the sake of his own wealth. everyone who fights against tyranny will be cruelly killed and hurt.For many years the people of Hasgia were very afraid and could do nothing to fight the tyrant.

until one day, three very strong priests appeared in Hasgia.they did come to Hasgia to free the city from the tyranny after hearing the cruelty and injustice of the tyrant. on that day, the three priests and the entire people of Hasgia moved together to bring down the tyrant.they continued to fight until the tyrant managed to fall on the same day. the people of Hasgia were very happy with the fall of the tyrant.they paraded the three priests around the city and continued to thank them. the Hasgia people also decided to make one of them as the new leader of Hasgia.although that never happened because the three priests appointed a priest as the new leader in hasgia.

at first, the priest was very kind and wise. hasgia was in the heyday at the time.but everything suddenly changed.the priest began to act arbitrarily to his own people. he made hasgia a haven for priests and a hell for ordinary people.The city of hasgia should only be occupied by priests and ordinary people expelled inhumanely. hasgia once again fell under tyrannical rule.

the sound of birds chirping shocked Hansel. Hansel woke up and saw the morning sun had illuminated the entire room.he saw wilson, lucy and leo still soundly asleep. hansel continued to look at Leo remembering the story of the innocent child yesterday. Hansel continued to imagine how much suffering people hasgia. Hansel really wanted to help the people of hasgia, he was very eager to help people, but he realized that the current strength is still very weak.Hansel continued to pensively staring at the north path that is still quiet as yesterday. Hansel continued to wonder about hasgia and marlene that he had previously seen. all felt fake, marlene and hasgia famous turned out not as beautiful as in the story.whether ilmesh, velmier or even aksitia also like this thought hansel while clenching hands.

the journey to hasgia resumed.no conversation occurred between the four of them.all were silent with a sad face and not excited.they continued to imagine the situation hasgia when they arrived later. leo continued to drive the donkey car slowly, day after day and night after night they passed until finally they arrived the city of Hasgia.

a large and only gate has been seen in the distance.a city that throngs just below the foot of the ehlmer mountain and is surrounded by high walls.The view of the city of hasgia is very beautiful and charming. a unique and interesting city, from a distance they can see houses made of wood inside the walls are light gray.See also some windmills in the city add to the beauty of hasgia. behind the beauty of hasgia, there is also a dark side of the city. Around the walls there are tents and small houses.this place is the residence of the hasgias who were driven from their homes.

they continued to approach the gate until suddenly Leo stopped his donkey train.he looked at Hansel, wilson and lucy sadly before saying that he could not get inside. the look on Leo's face made them very sad.they knew very well how much leo and everyone hasgia suffered.but, the three of them knew clearly that there was nothing they could do at the moment.

hansel, wilson and lucy descended slowly from the wagon. Leo waved his hand before entering a small street amid a crowd of houses and slum tents. he really knows what it's like to not have a house and can only hitchhike in a foreign place. Hansel continues to pensive until lucy pats Hansel's shoulder. lucy smiles sweetly and invites Hansel into the city together. hansel had refused to enter and asked them to stay with Leo. he felt unwilling if he had to stay inside the city while Leo and the people of hasgia had to live to suffer outside the walls, wilson and lucy managed to calm Hansel and make Hansel agree to enter. wilson said that if Leo and the hasgia people would not be comfortable if suddenly there was a priest living with them.

the debate was quite attention hasgia gate guards. After Hansel agreed, they finally began to move towards the hasgia gate.they began to approach the sour-faced guard and then showed the mission letter from the king. the look on the guard's face suddenly changed after seeing the king's seal.The guard suddenly turned very friendly and let them in. the situation inside the city was very much different from the situation in the shanty houses and tents around the walls.the whole building looked beautiful and well-groomed.everyone was well dressed and of course everyone was the priest. priest who was supposed to guard and protect the Athian kingdom and its people and now he saw the priest oppress the Athian people themselves. the three of them continued walking trying to avoid the men and stopped in front of a simple inn.

the inn was different from the previous inns that were full of luxury.they rushed into this inn and were greeted by the innkeeper. the guard looked at them carefully then gave them a room for free.The guard only said that all the priests of the aksitia were guests of honor in hasgia. hansel actually wanted to refuse but he saw wilson shake his head and just say thank you. At that moment they realized that the innkeeper was smiling strangely and making goosebumps. the three of them at that moment also felt the evil aura of the friendly innkeeper and without them noticing, everyone within the wall of Hasgia had noticed the three of them while smiling with hidden intentions.
