The Knight Eldania S2
33: Eldania

The blood temple.

That night Everst flew free to go to the last place of the great battle that Eldania had fought. He enjoyed that cold night to go somewhere. 

"................" Everst took a sharp turn at each side of the cave she was entering.

After being in the deepest place, Everst further lowered his height, and arriving in front of the large pool he slowly landed.

SHUHH…….

In a split second, Everst landed with both feet.

TAPS…..TAPS…..TAPS…..

But not a pair of bird legs, but a pair of human legs that are now taking step by step.

" Oh...you came back?. "the voice of a woman immediately approached the man who was standing alone by the pool. The voice echoed inside the cave, but for ordinary humans they would not hear the voice. 

" So you already know my arrival earlier?. "asked this golden blonde guy. He darted sharply to his right side, and a faint white mist and fog gathered together which eventually transformed into a woman, despite not displaying her legs. 

" Of course." she replied with her beautiful smile. She is a red-haired woman named Arin who is now in spirit form, because her physical body has disappeared yesterday because a Eldania has killed herself because of Arin's own request.  " Because this is my home, I know all who are near me. But what made you come here?. Even though your form resembles a human being, but you are not entirely human, right?" he replied again.

Arin was curious, he could not figure out who the person who was his interlocutor was. 

For him, the existence of this man is quite foreign.

Arin felt that the man was not a figure who did not come from this world, so he felt unable to recognize him as a whole, unless the noble aura that came out of this man was quite felt.

He is Caster, a figure who transformed into a brown bird named Everst who had been flying to bring Eldania to and fro.

Caster did it because someone was Eldania. Because in Caster's eyes, Eldania is ‘ Woman's ‘.

‘ Woman ‘ whose whereabouts she's been looking for.

And in order to succeed his own plans, Caster chose to use all means and methods to survive in this world. A world different from where he used to live. But at once for the sake of being able to be near him, it was one method of approach after knowing Eldania was a woman who liked birds.

" I was originally a figure like you at this time. "briefly Caster, he finally answered Arin's curiosity even though it was just a little. He still makes Arin to keep thinking, that's the impression of Caster against his interlocutor all along.

Arin glanced down [..........., Spirit?. ] Arin thought hard. If the figure in front of his eyes is a spirit, why does this man have enough real magic to use because it can be transformed into an eagle?.

Why is it possible to have a perfect body like humans in general?. 

Various questions arise, until where when Arin looked seriously at Caster, he immediately realized one thing after seeing Caster's eyes continue to be fixed on the dry pool in front of him. 

" When you happen to be here, return all the contents of this pool" Caster told Arin.

Instantly Arin who was now in the form of a spirit immediately turned to look towards the dried up pond. The pool that originally contained blood-red water was now dried up, and this man asked to refill it?!.

But not yet had time to express a reason to refuse his orders, Caster first interjected.

“ Ah.. As long as you know, I don't want to hear rejection just because of the reason now you've become a spirit. “ Sela Caster in that second as well, so the success made Arin speechless after just clenching his mouth for the reason to refuse the man's order was instantly erased. “ I ask this in return for what Eldania has done to you, do you understand?. “

“ Eldania!?. “ Only one person comes to mind Arin, the woman he met yesterday. “ Ah!......, I know!. “ Suddenly Arin smiled brightly and approached Caster and went around observing this pia more closely. “ So that's why you came here. It is only fitting from earlier that I feel the strong smell of blood. “ said Arin once again with the accompaniment of a mockery. “ I never came out of this cave, but now I know. For the sake of maintaining your physique in this world you must use a lot of souls and here is the right place for you. Because I hid my secret from you, and as a thank you to him, I'll do it for you. “  

“ Good. “ Caster Chirps. “ Your brain turns out to still be able to work too even though it has become a spirit. So do it for me. “

Because basically there is not much time left for Arin to survive in the real world with his physique that has been turned into a spirit or a subtle creature, he finally granted the order of this man's request. 

Arin who was now in spirit form immediately flew into the middle of the dried up pond, after which he turned around with a face filled with gazes and a friendly smile to Caster, Arin immediately turned inward. [For a moment, I connected with the memory of my mother. Durandal is not of this world. Because it brings the memory of his past I know, if this man has his own story that is quite legendary. Eldania.., you're lucky to have someone like her. You make me even more envious. But it doesn't make me hate you, because you've freed me from this place. ]

Although he did not know why even though he was born in this world, but after seeing the figure of this golden-covered man, he immediately knew the reason for this man now being here.

It was because this man had one bond with someone. 

Arin initially did not know who it was, but only with this arrogant, arrogant, and sharp-tongued man mentioning the name of a woman, it had become a real proof.

Evidence that Caster had a complicated past relationship that carried over to this era and that ended with the existence of ‘ Eldania ‘ in this world.

“ I hope we can meet again. “ muttered Arin, he really wants to go through that long time quickly. He was eager to meet these two people in the future. Will these two people establish a relationship that is further than just a working partner?.

Arin will continue to look forward to the future of both of them.

After finishing with his own thoughts, Arin immediately jumped into the pool, and…

SRASZH…………

Instantly the pool that was dry was immediately filled with blood red water and the water was able to greet Caster's shoes.

“ Although he was lulled by his daydreams, but not by his actions. 

Caster slowly removed the red cloak attached behind his waist, not only until there, second by second Caster released several jewelry such as bracelets, fur necklaces, and gold earrings, as well as, after that, he took off the armor he was wearing.

Finished releasing everything that was attached to his body, Caster slowly stepped his feet forward and went into the pool.

SPLASSH……..

The pool water that was originally calm, has now caused waves thanks to Caster who was soaking his body into the blood water. 

Until after making half of his body go into the water, he then stopped with a cold gaze, until a name was spoken from his mouth.

“ Neshka.... “ call sentences from a name directly out of his mouth in a soft tone, a name that keeps ringing in his head.
