The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
A Friend

They get along quickly, while forgetting the misunderstanding that previously occurred Altair told about his village in the past. Although now this place is only a cemetery full of roses.

The roses were planted on the orders of the emperor, in memory of the village called the rose heaven...

" Oh, yeah. Does Milya have enemies?? I think that's why a misunderstanding happened." asked Altair in doubt.

Mylia who heard it smiled and looked down, then she replied.. " Yes, the bad guys who have been ruining the world for a long time. They have an evil plan, but I don't know what it is yet "he replied.

" That's why Mylia's looking for them?? Is their plan really that dangerous??" Altair grew curious about it, let alone seeing Mylia trying to hold something back. Seen from how he was clenching his hands at this moment.

" I'm not sure, but they're looking for something. They said it was a treasure left by the Gods ", Mylia replied.

" The treasure that the god left behind." muttered Altair somewhat confusedly.

" Yes, even though it is said to be a treasure, in fact it is a human being. The group, named the Morning Star group, was a name that did not match their purpose." said Mylia.

And that made Altair very surprised, "Tu-Wait... You said they were a Dawn Star group?!" tanyanya made sure again.

" Yes, what's up..?" mylia replied confusedly.

While Altair, currently frowned in anger. He remembered his conversation with Yin a while ago..

_- Flashbacks...

At that time, Altair asked about the people who attacked his village..

" Hm? The identity of the people who attacked your village?? They were from the Dawn Star group. "Yin replied to her question.

" Stellar Group... what?"

" The Dawn Star Group, they are a group of heretical sect people who worship an outcast god. They are contrary to all of us who exalt the gods who are still within the scope of the four main gods. Therefore they are considered a heretical group and must be destroyed. In order not to invite disaster in the world." Yin explained at length to Altair.

" Why not be destroyed? Not with the power of Foldes and Chrysos which are the two largest empires in the world alone can do it easily." asked Altair.

" It's not that easy as Altair, we don't know the purpose, the strength and anyone involved with the group yet. If we are rash, we might even lose ourselves. "answer Yin anyway.

While Altair was only bowing his face annoyed, he wanted to immediately see the group wiped out from this world. The ones who have hurt his family. Yin also knew that, and then touched his shoulder. It made Altair's attention go to him.

" Altair, I know how you feel. But please be patient, we will definitely eliminate them immediately said Yin who was then embraced by Altair.

_- Flashback off

Altair still felt like just yesterday she was talking about it with Yin, now she knows more than Mylia.

" Altair. "call Mylia who breaks the reverie of Altair.

Altair looked at him with a smile, "Yes?"

" What's up? You look restless." Mylia told him.

" Ah.. actually, this place became like this because of the group." said Altair sadly, and it made Mylia very surprised.

" Of course, as you've heard, I'm the only survivor of this place. Everyone I loved was gone that night" he said.

Mylia grabbed her hand and held it, "Altair, I'm sorry, I brought up your unpleasant memories" she said.

But Altair shook her head, "No. It's not your fault, after all.I'm glad that I know my friend more." she said with a smile.

While Mylia was silent again, 'A friend' was something she had never thought of all this time, as she was only focused on doing her mission against those people.

" Do you. want me to be your friend?" ask Mylia.

" Of course, you want to, right?" ask Altair back with a gentle smile.

That made Mylia somewhat moved. " Of course" he answered truly happy.

****

The night quickly passed, then the morning arrived unnoticed. The rising sun emitted its warm light, and flowers bloomed amidst the dew and golden light in the morning.

This morning, Altair was trying to write a reply letter in the same paper that came to her at that time.

" Hm... Alright, done!." Altair read it to make sure it was good.

~[Thank you for your suggestion, unfortunately he does not want to answer everything I asked, just my question more and more. I want to know who you are, can we meet?]~

Altair smiled happily feeling that it was already good, now that he did not know how to send the letter.

" If only Zico were here to teach me. Last night I told him to go to the palace for permission, but why until now he had not come too." muttered Altair somewhat annoyed.

When Altair was surprised by the paper folding itself back into a stork, even the stork jumped up and down in his hand.

" Lu-Lucunya.." Inner Altair. He walked to the window and released the paper crane, which flew by itself without his command.

At the same time, he also saw Zion coming and landing right in front of him.

Kyu...

Zico greeted Altair with a look of pleasure, but his pleasure was lost when he saw Altair's face was upset. He even folded his hands in front of his chest.

" Where have you been? I was waiting for you from last night, didn't I come?" ask Altair.

Kyu...

Zico turned his face away from Altair's sharp gaze, and reasoned he was lost. But then Altair suddenly grasped it with both hands.

" The lie! There's obviously still some biscuit left in your mouth! Apparently you've been relaxing while eating biscuits, right?! Basic evil! " sambar Altair is angry.

Kyu..

Zico bowed his head and wings sadly, apologizing to Altair for lying. Altair who saw him could not be angry for too long to him, he just sighed then hugged and rubbed him.

" Then don't do it again. You don't know how worried I am about thinking something bad happened to you" Altair said.

Kyu...

And Zico answered..

" Oh right, I have to pick a medicinal plant!" Altair remembered that.

He immediately released Zico who began to fly and took a basket he had prepared and then came out of the room. When Altair put on her shoes, Mylia asked.

" Altair, where are you going?" tanyakanya.

Altair turned to him and replied, "I'll pick a medicinal plant for you."

" I'll come, then" said Mylia.

" Uh? But you still need to rest " said Altair looking worried.

" It's okay, just picking a medicinal plant, right? It would be boring here, after all, "pushed Mylia.

Altair also thought it would seem like it would be okay if he joined, because the forest where he used to look for medicinal plants was also not far from there.

" All right, but don't push yourself, yeah" Altair said.

" Of course." answered Mylia.

So the two of them also went to the forest together to pluck medicinal plants...
