The King Of Priests
The Journey to Hylas

"dark, where am I. si..who are you?!" hansel stood alone in a large room.The room was the hall of the palace of the axioms and Hansel saw the king and queen lying helpless under the throne.The blood filled the entire floor of the throne and the two crowns were destroyed.

then came a woman in a red dress with a creepy face. Hansel tried to run but he could not move. Slowly the woman in a red dress moved closer to Hansel with a terrible smile.The two women's hands were covered in blood.The woman was now standing in front of Hansel and stroking Hansel's right cheek.

"can. tell the king. cecilia is very rin-du-kan, HA.. HAHAHA" said the woman right on Hansel's face.

...****************...

hansel awoke from his sleep in a cold sweat all over. Hansel saw wilson and lucy were getting ready to leave hasgia immediately and continue the journey towards the village of hylas.

the atmosphere of hasgia this morning was more crowded than yesterday.everyone was also seen wearing their best clothes as if they were going to party.

hansel kept thinking about the events in the dream that continued to haunt him.The dream was too real for a dream, even Hansel could still feel the touch of a hand full of blood from the woman in the red dress in his dream.

the three of them continued to walk towards the city gate until suddenly the two priests stopped them.The two priests asked Hansel, wilson and lucy to follow them both. the two men also said their goal was to take Hansel, wilson and lucy to meet the city leader.

the city leader lives in the largest and most magnificent building in Hasgia. The building is clearly visible from all corners of the city and is a relic of tyranny in the past. hansel, the, wilson and Lucy continued walking down the long hall until they arrived at a large room with a woman in a red dress standing up to welcome the three of them.

how surprised Hansel saw the woman in a red dress, the woman was wearing a long red dress as in a dream Hansel. the woman's face was very beautiful and she looked young. wilson and lucy were really amazed by the beauty of the woman.the woman's face was very clean with white skin. Red eyes with white hair, the woman was an albino.the woman was very beautiful, she was very beautiful, but for Hansel the woman was just a terrible figure in his dream.

"are you the priest of the aksitia?" asked the woman in a soft and soothing voice.The woman's voice was so melodious and pleasant to hear that it made wilson and lucy feel peace.

"really madam, we are here because of the mission of the noble king" replied wilson kindly.

"do I know what mission it is?" the woman again uses her gentle tone to lure wilson and lucy, the woman's voice so hypnotic that wilson and lucy almost say the purpose of their mission before Hansel stops them both.

"sorry we can't!! let's go!!" hansel angrily pulled wilson and lucy away leaving the woman in a red dress.Before they passed the door of the room, Hansel heard the woman speak.

......"please tell the king, cecilia misses him a lot"......

hansel heard clearly the woman's words and glimpsed her face.A horrible face with a wicked grin as in Hansel's dream.

hansel continued to run while holding wilson and lucy.he came out of the building and saw that the hasgias had gathered there.The men immediately surrounded Hansel, wilson and lucy. everyone tried to touch the three of them.The men started tugging at the clothes until his sleeves were torn apart.

this insanity is completely out of the mind for Hansel. Hansel trying to protect wilson and lucy who somehow fell silent helpless.they both like being hypnotized or something.

hansel could not protect them and attacked them. Hansel continued to protect them both from all those people. Hansel felt his back was very sore due to the scratches and incisions of the citizens who were crazy.

the longer the more people swarmed the hansel, wilson and lucy.The attack on the three of them also got worse.this time wilson's ankle was gripped so hard that he could not move. lucy's hair also continues to be pulled very roughly by the men, but Hansel is the worst. the person riding on Hansel's back also kicked his leg toward Hansel's hip and made Hansel in pain.

hansel was already very tired and in pain. Hansel was very weak and he felt if soon he would fall. Hansel already could not feel his legs. hansel's eyes were getting blurred and twitched until he saw a large ball of water hit the people who swarmed him.

the attack left everyone who was crazy just now scattered and fled.Hansel saw some people come and save them. hansel sees wilson and lucy, who have lost consciousness, being carried by three men, while Hansel is alone in the pelvis by a black man with white hair. hansel looked at the man with a small smile before finally losing consciousness.

..."ce-ci-li-a, that's my sweet name.put my regards to the king"...

hansel gasped in shock and woke up from his sleep.he again dreamed of the woman in the red dress and he felt the dream was getting real.Hansel's hands shook violently, he was terrified.

"what's wrong?! are you okay?!" leo said with a worried face

there was no one but Hansel and leo there. Hansel kept glancing at the two sleeping mats on his left and asked Leo where wilson and lucy were. leo said that the two friends had regained consciousness first and had come out of the tent to get fresh air.

hearing that, Hansel immediately tried to lift his body from the bed. he tried to stand up and immediately felt pain all over the body. hansel tried to walk even though occasionally almost fell and continued to grimace in pain. Hansel continued to try to get out and see both themes were fine.

there were no significant injuries on either wilson or lucy's body. they both looked healthy despite wilson's ankle sprained heavily. Hansel smiled then joined wilson and lucy. some people were also seen sitting with them.

the men were the rescuers hansel, wilson and lucy. They were also the older brothers of leo. leo introduced one by one of them. the eldest brother named jayden, who was the eldest, he is a black and white-haired man who saved Hansel before. then there is gregory, the second brother who holds lucy out of hasgia. Gregory's body is very large and strong, and, he always carries a mace wherever he goes, and lastly there are the twins larry and barry who help take out wilson. These two twin men are small in stature but according to leo, the twin is, their speed and agility need not be doubted.

no one among the four of them was a priest or at least that's what Hansel knew.but Hansel clearly remembered that there was a water ball attacking the hasgias before he was saved.

"umm.. If none of you is a priest, then who attacks with a water ball?" hansel asked with a curious and confused face to all of them.

the faces of the brothers changed immediately when they heard Hansel's question, they all fell silent until finally Leo admitted that it was the person who attacked with the water ball. Leo had strength but he was not a priest, but he was not, leo is a linker. Hansel often heard the word linker but has never met them. Linker is often underestimated because they are considered in being able to become a priest. people also often say if the linker is a failed human because he has been given power but is not able to control his power.

the atmosphere there became very uncomfortable. Suddenly Leo stood up and ran away leaving them all followed by gregory and the twins leaving jayden sitting pensively.

"actually, why didn't Leo become the priest? I saw him controlling his strength very well" asked Hansel curiously.

"leo is capable, but he can't go to aksitia" jayden replied gloomily.

jayden tells everything that happened to leo, hasgia and cecilia. All the jayden stories are the same as those that have been told by leo. facts that seem impossible to tell a child the age of Leo.

jayden recounts that the woman in the red dress named cecilia. cecilia is so cruel that there are rumors that she has cursed the city and all its people, every priest hasgia can no longer bring out his power when in the city. Second, anyone who tries to talk about this curse or hasgia condition will burn out, anyone who hasgia who enters aksitia will burn out. This third curse that makes leo can not be a priest.

jayden's story made me sit back, wilson and lucy stand up. Especially Hansel who continuously get dreams about women in red dresses or cecilia. jayden again continues if no one is able to defeat cecilia unless they are outsiders hasgia. hansel knew that he was not a Hasgia but he also realized that his ability was still very weak.he was eager to help Leo and all the hasgia.

"i think we can help, but you have to give us the fastest ride you have" Hansel said seriously. Hansel had the idea to beg the world's strongest priest, The king of priests wants to help them save Hasgia from the woman named cecilia.

"you're going to Hylas, aren't you? I've prepared horses for you" replied Jayden smiling.even though they didn't tell jayden or Leo about their destination to the hylas but like jayden knew their purpose.

without further ado, Hansel immediately rode the horse although his whole body still felt tremendous pain.he rode with a hansel because his ankle was still injured, while lucy rode alone. hansel and Lucy drove each other's horses very quickly.

jayden-given horses were very useful for their journey towards hylas.it was not until one day that they arrived at hylas even though both of their horses looked very exhausted. hansel and Lucy leave their horses in a stable and the three of them split up at the hylas to find information about the king of the priests, everyone there said that if there were no priests in the village of Hylas, this village looked normal but indeed there was no priest in sight.

the information the king gave could not possibly have mistaken them. tirelessly Hansel, wilson and lucy continued to question everyone they met in the village of hylas and all their answers were the same, there is no priest in hylas. The sun has set and people are starting to go home to each other. The fewer people in the hylas they can question and the more they begin to despair.

the longer the atmosphere of the village became quieter and in the end there was no one to ask. The village of hylas was completely empty and they decided to return to the stables. they walked lethargic towards the stables and saw an old man stroking their horses.

"are you looking for a priest?" asked the old man in a trembling voice but still sounded friendly.

"correct cake! does grandpa know something?!" hansel asked excitedly with a beaming face.

the grandfather told them if there was a former priest who lived alone in the forest, the man often visited the village of Hylas to buy necessities or sell food. but the grandfather said if he did not know the face or name of the priest because the priest always used a face mask and never spoke. The grandfather also showed the direction of the priest coming from the forest.

hansel, wilson and lucy thanked the old man and then moved straight into the forest, walking down a small path to find a small cottage. the little hut scented the food and lit up brightly in the darkness of the night in the forest. Hansel, wilson and lucy approached the hut and knocked on the door. immediately a handsome young man with black hair with very beautiful blue eyes greeted them from behind the wooden door of the little hut.the man continued to look at Hansel, who was, wilson and lucy before speaking to the three of them in a threatening tone.

..."who are you?"...
