The Knights of Eldania
Erich

Here, the Observatory.....

Technology, quietly advancing.

The technology inside here is an existence that no one else knows about including the king himself, the reason is simple, they are deliberately keeping it from people.

From the Observatory scattered in several kingdoms, the actual owner was only one person.

The existence of those who become ordinary people, with a house like a house in general, is only a mere pretext to trick the eyes, from the landowner.

That is why, no place where it is, will have more advanced technology like this than here.

Dania so know, the reason why all this time there is nothing that feels more sophisticated than here, because it is strictly confidential.

It is presumed, that they......

(other than people dealing with the Observatory.), to live their lives without knowing such technology already existed. This was done, so as not to make more chaos worse, than those who on average had coexisted with witches and war.

That is, the noble social class as a means of exchanging information, the existence of witches, knights who are used as military forces to defend the kingdom with other kingdoms, for war, for war, that was enough to mess up their wheels of life.

[The point is not to expose this kind of technology to them. ] no less and no more.

[So they are into the Egocentric group.] He thought. Make themselves the center of thought.

Dania turned her head towards the window, blinking her real tired eyes to keep it open like this, but she did not want to get tired in front of others.

But on the sofa there, there was a person who looked more tired than himself, proof of the piano game that was being marinated by his ten fingers, Dania successfully made this person sleep.

Erich...In his point of view, this man looks very tired. Not physically tired, but tired of mind and mind.

Maybe because of the growing hatred, it makes him more tired than his speech that has been tired to go to and fro to find himself (Dania. ).

There was one thing, a small fact that he never showed.

No one can escape his piano game that can make the person who hears him sleepy and end up sleeping.

Is she just feeling sorry, or sympathizing?. Seeing this man was under pressure to two old men who were like that.

" Pity?. "the view goes down.

Since when has he had this kind of sympathy for others?.

Dania just admitted it, right now.

All this time much has been done for others, whether it be out of sympathy, or just for the good of himself?.

Which is right?.

Feeling memorable has the same meaning, but it also feels different. What kind of difference can be explained clearly?.

Sometimes there were some things he didn't understand. His mind said that a kindness he did for his own sake, but it turned out to be tucked away also a sense of sympathy/pity towards them.

That was what puzzled him, where did it appear from?, and since when did he not know.

[Am I affected by my own play?. ]Dania shook her head slowly, then stopped the song she was playing.

I looked back at the half of the face covered with the mask.

He stood up, went over to this man. Just when it was in front of him, his right hand began to lift.

To be honest, Dania was curious about the scar caused in the claw by a bird with eye color similar to her!?.

What bird does this person mean?.

What's 'Everst?'

There was little evidence that he saw, there was one thin scratch, a cut on the right cheek.

But is it that bad?, to be covered with a mask?.

".................... " Dania clenched her mouth, she immediately paused the intention to remove the mask because it was rude to disturb her sleep, other than just touching the mask.

[It's a gift for your food.] Her inner self.

CRING......

And the golden flickers fell down and soon disappeared from that face.

******

The rain had no sign of stopping. In cold weather like this, the best thing is to sleep and curl up in a warm thick blanket.

A simple comfort, obtain a satisfactory rest.

Maybe it's just for some people who like to laze around.

But not for this girl.

Once in Erich made food and drink for her, then told her stories about their home and whereabouts here, this girl did not do the thing that made her lazy.

[Huh.....!, I fell asleep?!. ]Erich opened his eyes wide. The first thing he saw was the ceiling of his room, it was gray.

[The feeling of just sitting.... ] sat with closed eyes, but the position turned into a person who fell asleep on the sofa?!.

How come?.

Sleep on?!.

He realized it while trying to listen to the piano played by this woman.

Erich immediately convinced himself that earlier..

[. .........!, right, I was just trying to listen to the game. Is it because I'm tired?, I get swept away with the song?. ]

Erich immediately woke up from his sleep, and sat down to adapt his lingering drowsiness.

But his eyes found..

[Where he is. ] has disappeared from his sight.

Erich tried to rotate his eyes in all directions, there was no sign of his existence.

He got up from the sofa, and one thing stuck in his mind, was the absence of pain in his eyes after a good sleep, this was the first time he could sleep so soundly.

Usually after waking up, the right eye that looks fine, will react with a painful sensation that is quite painful to the head, which is why he can not sleep well, he said, he reduced his sleep coverage, but this time it felt like something was different.

What the hell is going on?.

Erich went to the bathroom next to his kitchen, opened the door a little harshly, he immediately faced a mirror.

The reflection of his mask-wearing face, which he never even showed, his real face after the incident to the two of them (To his two parents. ).

Not yet out, he realized the thin brown scratches on his right cheek had disappeared.

Is this a dream?.

Erich actually felt doubtful with his hands that would take off the mask.

GREPS....

His hand stopped in midair and immediately clenched tightly.

[It must be a lie. ]

BUKS.....

Slightly punching at the wall, right next to the mirror, Erich said not inside him. His raindrops made him decide to look for that person first.

[No. I had to go look for him. ]

Inner Erich.

Erich didn't take off his mask, there was more to it than that, so he hurriedly left the toilet.

Erich walked with wide strides, towards the door, which he would open before his eyes were fixed on a single paper stuck in the middle of the door. A little memo for him.

| Don't reveal my identity to others about me helping you.

I believe you can keep a secret.

I'll go first, thanks for the food. |

"................... " Erich thought back to what was written in the memo, a request not to reveal that the girl was the one who solved the problem today.

[Unnatural orbital changes, it seems. ]

Not that reasonableness, Erich so know if the problem that the girl is a person who has used the weapon Material Burst scattered, then there will be people who go looking for it alias eyeing it.

The focus of people who do not always have good thoughts.

Erich opened the door, and went straight out of the room.

[But where did he go?, the distance between this place and the city was 300 Km. ] Erich thought as he walked down the corridor.

[There's no way he just left. ]

Far away from their place, it would not be possible to make the girl reach the city in a day even if it made horses run all day.

Until finally being on the 1st floor, Erich only looked to his two parents had returned to normal, and, busy running small to and fro to where their messy way of dressing has meant that there is no time to see his own clothes, buttoning his clothes is wrong.

" Rich...have you woken up?. "asked his father Erich as soon as he knew Erich was standing at the end of the stairs while looking at him.

But Erich did not answer him other than asking another question.

" Why do you guys seem to panic like that, where is he?. " Erich spread his gaze to all the corners of the room, but the result was nil, he.

" Are you so soundly asleep that you didn't feel that there was an earthquake?. " Margel was amazed, half an hour ago when there was such a strong earthquake, even some neatly arranged tables, had shifted from their place, the glass cabinet immediately opened to make the book-toward fall down, he said, but Erich doesn't feel it?.

" No. " answered Erich with a wave.

[When there is an earthquake?. ] Erich was confused, was it because in his room there were not so many light items arranged on the table or anything, making him not aware that there was no earthquake?, he said?, because his room was fine, and not a mess at all.

" I asked where is he?!. " Task Erich, get straight to the point again. Because that's the only purpose of going down to the first floor, looking for the duke's foster sister.

" He's gone, he says there's business to deal with. " Sela Sonia, the mother to Erich who looks insistent.

But Sonia spoke directly to her husband.

Fed up with their conversation, what else does his mama call father with the word dear. In his ears, it was an expression that felt truly disgusting, among other familiar sentences.

" .................. " Erich went straight to the front door.

" What's the status?. " Task Sonia again.

Earthquake.It is unlikely that there will be no aftershocks or......

Margel turned to his wife with a surprised face.

" You said the girl left because of some business, right?. "

" Yes..." Sonia assented.

" I think we're facing one more problem after the asteroid and the earthquake. " Margel deliberately hung up his sentence, so that his wife thought too.

Sonia thought hard, even though she did not have magic in her, but her brain said that knowledge was just as powerful.

" What was the epicenter of the sea.

Margel nodded her head.

" Yes!. There is a possibility that the power of this magnitude will not cause other problems. Like Tsunami!. "

' Tsunami. '

Sonia's body instantly trembled, her limp legs making her unable to stand up anymore.

A trauma, which Sonia had appeared.

Trauma to his past...

" Rich....! " his face was pale, making his mouth instantly call out to Erich who was already in the doorway.

" Rich!. "

There was no answer, Sonia suddenly had the strength to stand up again. To meet Erich....Sonia ran towards the front door while shouting loudly.

" ERICH!. "

" Son...! " Margel ran after Sonia behind him, seeing her suddenly running like that in the pressure of her trauma that appeared.

" ERICH..!. " Sonia shouted again and was directly in the doorway that was still open, seen the hand was going to go close the door, Sonia immediately reached him in the last seconds..

" RICH!. " call her.

BREKK...

Although as a result Sonia's wrist was squeezed because in addition to having grabbed Erich's hand before leaving, the door failed to close because of her hand was blocked Sonia.

" Erich.wait. "Sonia's pint for this one child.

Instantly Erich looked back because other than his hand was intercepted because of the mama, his name from earlier was constantly being called out nonstop.

Makes his heart become angry.

" What's the matter?, I want to go. " replied Erich while trying to shake his hand.

But Sonia did not stay still, one more hand immediately grabbed Erich's hand.

And it was followed by an expanding smile that was forced. Making Erich goosebumps himself suddenly got such a strange expression from this mama.

" Good.ayo, use your powers to get us out of here as soon as possible. If he can take it to a distant place like the pendopo we made on the mountain. "the Sonia pinta, he asked Erich to use his magic to take them all to a safe place.

" Sonia" called Margel in a quivering tone, worried for his wife.

" Why don't you two go there" Erich replied, sneering.

It made sense, suddenly asking to go to a remote place in the middle of the mountain.

" I'm looking for him,.... "

Sonia menhan this boy first.

" Hear first, sebent-... " But his words were directly on the sidelines of Sonia.

" Then, "brush Sonia's hand violently.

" It's usually alone, I'd rather go to town than there. "

Nodding quickly, sonia said.

" Yes.yeah, to the city is fine too. " Sonia just wants to go wherever Erich goes, because the distance is very far, so there is no way the tsunami will get there.

Erich became increasingly clueless with mama...himself this, why suddenly changed want to come to the city?.

Making her even more disgusted, there was no intention of going with this woman.

Margel immediately tried to stop the attitude of Erich who was putting on such a disgusted face by supporting his wife.

" Remember.turuti only, we have no more time." while commemorating Erich.

Making Erich further harden his jaw while grinding his teeth.

" Why do you obey?. I don't want to take him with me. "

" ERICH!. " Squeak Margel in a loud voice, calling her biological child.

Instantly Erich was astonished by his father who SHOUTED AT HIM!, in defense of the woman!.

His high tone instantly disappeared after seeing Erich startled.

" There will soon be a tsunami, just this time, please so that you use your strength to take him away from here as well. "

Erich smiled forcefully like a statue.

" the tsunami?. "

" Come Rich.we go, before the water comes.... " Sonia begged, reaching Erich's hand again and shaking it.

BBRRRUUHHH.........

".......................!. " All.

And Sonia, her face was turning deathly pale with that big voice. One of the main triggers of the trauma first.

" Rich..quick up.quick get out of here. "

Sonia pulled her hand inside the house, so Erich opened the door again with her powers that she could use to move to another place.

What matters is staying away.

Stay away from the water monster.

" Rich.Hurry, here's the only one who has magic. This time, I begged. " Margel who can't manage this stubborn Erich just begs, hoping that Erich will grant it.

" Haha........ " Erich laughed with the end of a bitter smile.

" When some time ago, you two were happy again. But now?. "his eyes frowned, and added.

" Such a desperate man. "

BBBRRUUS.......

It got closer, and the rumbling sound grew louder.

BRACKET.....

Closing the house door.

" Well, I'll do it if you two split up. I mean in the sense of divorce. "the order of Erich with a smile expands.

Margel who suddenly stepped forward, immediately floated up

PLACARDS.......

A slap to Erich to become self-conscious.

" Are you crazy?!. " Anged Margel to Erich. Only such a small request, had to be paid on the condition of a divorce from Sonia.

" I'm disappointed in you, why would you ask for such a job?. "

No matter what the slap was, Erich could still speak at will.

" If you guys are crazy, I'm crazy dong~ too. If I'm disappointed because of my existence, who told me to. And dumped mom. " Erich who is not so afraid of the tsunami that has begun to approach, just continues to stall for time.

" Do you hate me so much?. " Sonia suddenly made a sound again. Release Erich's hand and take 3 steps back.

" If it's like that, it's better to just be like this. Just leave me alone. " In a weak tone, Sonia turned to her back to the two of them.

" I can at least accompany Richa. To where he left work.

DEG......

[ Richa's.... ]

"..............?!. "Erich immediately fell silent with the familiar name.

" He's your sister. " Margel told him the truth was hidden. But everything had also passed, and Erich was completely unwilling to lend the magic just to pass through one door leaf to go somewhere else.

[Sister....?!. ]

BBBRRUUSH.........

The long talk that tipped the first wave began to come.

Erich is inundated with questions, sister?.

I have a sister?.

If you have one, where is he now?.

It was too late with the view behind the glass dome and a huge wave quickly appeared before them. Everything was clearly visible even though it was just inside the house, the waves were like monsters.

Margel walked with wide strides, directly hugging Sonia at once. And Erich, who was still looking up, started to run towards the two of them, trying to reach the two lunatics.

But his father, looking back, precisely at Rrich, raised his left hand towards Erich, Margel immediately used magic.

Pushing Erich's body to go towards the front door slowly opened, and being thrust by another magic, made Erich's eyes glow, force Erich's power to appear and activate Erich's Gate magic.

"............! "

[Why did I fly?!. ] and was pushed back. His hand that had wanted to reach the two of them, instantly had a long distance.

Since Erich hated Sonia, Margel would not let Sonia alone face this wall of seawater. And his decision was accompanied by Erich who had already disappointed him.

He prefers Sonia, rather than forcing the will of Erich who really does not like the existence of Sonia beside him (Margel ).

Erich was immediately pushed out the door that was already active with Erich's own magic..

[He forced my magic?!. ] Can't believe that his father prefers the woman, just smiling weakly. Closing his eyes, leaving his body thrust by his father's magic.

" I'll be here with you. " Holding Sonia even tighter, she made Sonia's face go into her arms, facing the chest of her field, so that Sonia would not see the waves that were already beside her house.

BRAKK.....

The door closed tightly after Erich had been forced out and moved to another place, and in that very second, the water was already at their closest distance, until this saltwater droplet, rained down on the glass dome that was on it.

As tall.40 meters.

" I'm sorry. " Sonia's last words to Margel.

And .......

BYAHHHH.........

Dark, and cold.
