The Knights of Eldania
Passage

Smell the grass again.

She really likes it.

It's just that this time, there feels something lacking.

What else if he feels, on this beloved bird.

Dania crouched down, right in front of the tomb of her own body, to pray for a moment.

What is said in the form of a whisper, only he knows.

After looking at his partner, there was no sign that this bird was still alive.

But, Dania Longs.

His strange habit that he never showed to anyone else except then, he did again, now, and in front of a man named Arhes.

Lifting him up, he immediately held her in a warm embrace, he smelled the unique scent of those soft strands of fur.

So that his face was sunk, into the large wings, although normal in size, but it could still be said to be large, given the length of the span to two wings when fluttering, but it was still large, almost 1.7 meters long.

".................."

Arhes just let it go, found it hard, that's for sure, feeling lost was also unmistakable, so he just stood waiting for this girl.

Eldanian.....

But for some reason, his eyes could not shed a single tear of sorrow for the departure of this bird.

Birds are the animals that most in his tribe, and the division that used to be with two birds pet, precisely here he found with a special bird that can be spoken to.

And Dania gave the name Everst, because at that time it was just that name that immediately crossed her head.

The incarnation of the name of Mount Everest which is crowned as the highest mountain in the world, and it's like suitable for this brown bird, because he's a special bird that can fly high, he said, with different abilities than other creatures.

Therefore, Everst is the most apex predatory bird, that's his first impression when naming this bird with the name Everst.

Although she likes to fight, Dania is deliberately doing trivial quarrels, because it feels fun.

Joking because there are no friends who are suitable and can be trusted, that is the cause.

Cause and all the things they've been through together.

Does he really no longer exist?.

What in the end all of his words Everst some time ago, when Dania was not alone anymore because there was already him (Everst ), just so the words of the wind then only?.

" Will the bird be in the grave here as well?." his voice immediately filled the silence.

Hearing Arhes's question, Dania quickly finished her strange hobby, and looked back at her grave again.

" ................... "

It's a difficult decision.

On one side of the body Everst began to stiffen.

On the other hand, he objected to being in the grave.

" I.." looked back at the bird that was still in his arms, the face and head of Everst so close.

It really made him not so resistant to..

" Ahhhh."." sighed softly, Dania pressed her cheek against one side of the bird's face, enjoying it with great enthusiasm, even though it was tightly closed.

".................." Arhes even smiled faintly.

[I think I was wrong. He looked not sad, instead enjoying the dead bird's body. ] Arhes could not ask any more, after the scene he was watching.

How not, from a strange procession in burying the bodies of women who are not familiar Arhes.

Until he saw the talking bird, now dead, and also did not think that this special animal was the pet of this girl.

Of all that, even though it seemed that Dania had shown a facial expression and eyes full of sadness, it was just an act.

Or the...

[Am I the only one who feels sad?, because the feeling of being alone can only make both of them miserable?. ]

Arhes closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind.

[What should I do with all the things that have gone through with him?. ]

Opening his eyes again, Arhes glanced towards the head of this girl, from the owner of the brunette.

[ But. Seeing that he has a lot of talent, he looks like a person who needs nothing more, what else from a lowly knight like me. ]

He still hugged her, as if he did not want any distance between them.

Distance from different places.

If Everst were in the grave, she would be in the ground, and could not see her again forever, as time passed, the bodies of living things would decompose with the ground.

[Am I being this selfish? ] don't want Everst's body in the grave, even if it's a selfish choice, but if it means that he really doesn't want to lose his body either, too, even though life is not in it.

Dania let go of the hug, and put it back on the coat that was still lying on the grassy ground.

"................."

[But I am a selfish person. ]Dan realized it too.

Egoism for the sake of satisfaction, that is what is hidden in him.

" That's it. "sighs resignedly, there is nothing else he can do.

Arhes, who was now looking at the sky, began to see that the sun would soon sink, slowly replaced with a dark sky.

The empu gasped in shock, able to hear his name directly on the call as clearly as it was.

" Do you need anything?. " glanced at him for a moment, but diverted back to the bird.

" no. I just want to stay here longer. You can go to your sister's place "and then Dania added again.

" And your journey with me came here first. In times like this, rather than stop by, I would rather go straight to the city. "

Evidently.

Dania was no longer Mood, and deciding to ride all night was the right choice.

What does Eldania have now?, feels no more, other than his own knowledge that he still keeps. Just that, nothing else, after Everst left him for good.

WUSSHHHHWAS.........

His hair that started to be a little long, fluttered with the wind earlier.

It was like his greeting, the last greeting for the two of them.

*******

" Your Majesty, "call Vidal, while he is still stirring tea for his busy employer behind the desk, with all the piles of paper that have risen up like a pole.

The Archduke immediately put down the 3 pieces of paper he had read, then replied.

" Why?, your tone seemed to miss me. "with a witty glint directed straight to where Vidal was standing.

" His Majesty is very good at making jokes, huh?. "putting the spoon used to stir the tea with a little calm, as an expression of dissatisfaction because the call was considered as a sign of longing.

But since the steeping tea he had made was finished, Vidal immediately went towards the sofa and placed two cups of tea onto the short table.

" Look at that serious face of yours, it must be missing someone right, nothing else if not me, because for one day I ignored your existence." explained the Archduke again, I, back to teasing his men on that one.

Vidal just tried to ignore the words of the Archduke who sometimes like to say reckless.

" Don't jump to conclusions, I just want to tell you." said Vidal at the same time.

" Tell me what?. "take some more paper from the highest pile and read it at a glance until it finally gives a signature.

" The woman is back. "

Smiling obliquely, the Archduke was completely unmoved by what he was reading, but his mouth always said something else.

" Oho... Which woman?. Here are many women, and among them are out. "what he means is none other than his servants.

Another thing that managed to be annoying for Vidal, because it was not taken seriously by the noble Archuntu himself.

" I mean, he...Eldanian. "

Suddenly the eyes from earlier stared at the series of black inked writings so closely, immediately diverted to where Vidal was sitting while sipping tea.

If you look at the clock, it's 11 p.m.

" I guess he'll be gone 3 days. Just 2 days. It's freaky. " Say the Archduke that turns into a gentle murmur.

But then, the Archduke who noticed Vidal sitting with the teacup in hand, he immediately reprimanded him.

" Why are you still sitting, your employer is busy. Replace me welcome him. Marsha must be busy too.and I told Benjamin to do something else. "

[Even though he has his own legs and hands, why use the event I should welcome his return?. ] Glancing towards the Archduke, the Archduke still made a stare towards him with the intention of waiting for an answer.

" Yes.iya. "

TAK....... (Put the tea cup over the glue again. )

Then Vidal stood up, walked away and left his master there.

A trivial job, he had to do this. Welcomed the woman, but only through the door, but because his majesty had ordered to welcome her, could not refute her words Archduke, Vidal just obeyed him.

" His majesty really pays close attention to him. " Murm Vidal.

Recalling after the events in the forest, and taking him to the palace, Vidal knew that his highness continued to treat the woman very well, even though she was just a stranger who was accidentally discovered.

But, after its existence in the Palace, it seems to really make the atmosphere so changed.

[Who would have thought, she was a strange woman but had such a feat. Lest he draw a sword to my neck.] Touching his neck as if it were more precious.

Vidal was sometimes afraid of women (Eldania ) who had not even turned 20 years old was able to hold a weapon, and because he had Ruby eyes, made his gaze that could turn cold, like hinting that it would be a bad sign for the recipient of the eye spotlight.

[He was indeed crazier than the noble one.] Take care of one other madman, that would be the daily life of Vidal if the woman was in the palace.

After passing through the corridor and dozens of stairs, Vidal finally met with Dania, but apparently with a large package was in his arms.

" What are you carrying?. "

" Nothing is not dangerous either." replied Dania, after Vidal stood 2 m away from her.

While walking closer.

" Let me see it, I just want to make sure. "

Without saying a word, Dania slightly opened the end of the cloth and showed the contents of the package.

When it opened, Vidal was shocked behind the flat expression of this woman, inside the package she was carrying...
