The Legend Of The Sword Goddess
Episode 2

Being the center of attention and being liked by everyone is nothing new for the greenish-grey-looking young man who has just set foot on the field, casually walking towards his class at the XII IPA1. His emerald beads gently stared at every corner of the school that for almost three years had been his second home. Taking on the role of chairman of OSIS for a year made him love this school even more.

"Don't carelessly show a friendly face to everyone, Prince."

The young man called 'Prince' glanced briefly at the black-bladed man walking on his right side. His head shook while clucking.

"How many times should I say don't call me that in public. People can misunderstand later. They only know we're twins."

"Well, Arvatha is handsome, kind, and charming. Now please stop that gentle smile of yours and start being firm."

Hearing the nagging from the young man beside her made Arvatha even more grinning. "I'll do it, Revanza."

'Unbelievable, ' the inner youth named Revanza. The young man's forehead frowned when his brown bead saw a student just entering the XII IPA3 class.

Revanza knew the girl was one of the students at this school and had been at the same school since they were first grade. But it seemed strange when Revanza continued to feel like he had seen the girl somewhere. His father once said that there were two girls from Miracle orphanage that he attended here. Revanza also had time to think the girl he had just seen was one of the recipients of the donor from the father. But no matter how hard he tried to remember, the face of the girl he never saw but felt familiar.

The young man did not care about anyone other than Arvatha whom he had to protect. It's just that sometimes when he saw Rachel he felt he had met the girl somewhere.

"You're still curious about that girl named Rachel? I can find out for you," bargained Arvatha with a seductive smile.

"Just think about what you should do on our last day here."

The answer from his personal bodyguard and his best friend made Arvatha grieve, not liking to hear the reality that the man had just spoken. Today was the last day they were in school. It had been seventeen years since they had lived in a foreign world. Now it's time to go home and go to school where it should be.

"Can you set a time so I and Iluina can date for a little while?"

Revanza took a breath. Iluina, such a troubled girl and such a troublemaker why is it that it attracts Arvatha? Even so Revanza still nodded, thinking what he had to do so that his best friend could be alone with the girl of his first love.

Actually since the first day of school orientation, Arvatha has been fascinated by a girl who sings dangdut songs while giving a respectful attitude to the flagpole. The punishment given to her for not carrying a single piece of equipment was instead carried out very casually and confidently by the girl. And Iluina instantly became famous as a troublemaker full of charm. And what made Revanza feel a little uncomfortable was the fact that Iluina and Rachel turned out to be very close.

***

The second hour of rest had passed and Iluina had not yet revealed the trunk of her nose. Rachel moved uneasily, cursing the troublemaker girl who did not know where she was and what to do. Usually, even though she is late, Iluina will still enter class and serve the sentence after school.

Duh, such thoughts made Rachel even more unsettled. It was not usual for the girl to leave without giving any news at all.

***

How long has it been? Iluina doesn't know at all. The clock on her wrist had suddenly not worked since the girl had arrived at this place. A very dark, foggy, and terrible place. Iluina did not know how to be sure until she could land in the middle of a dense forest with very large and tall trees. He did not even know if there was a shining sun in this place. The sky that he could see was only lush green leaves.

Back at the beginning when he experienced this incident, Iluina was preparing to leave school early. The girl was ready for her school supplies. He even exchanged his necklace with a big smile. Everything was going normally, but when the girl opened the door and stepped out, she was suddenly already in this forest.

Several times Iluina pinched her cheeks until flushed to make sure this event was real or not. Iluina doesn't like to read fantasy novels about other worlds, parallel worlds, time travel, reincarnation and other types of fantasy. But why is he here now? And again, this place feels very real.

"What else do I have to go?" Iluina complained while stopping her steps, the girl's breathing was irregular. He did not know how far he had gone, but still did not find a way out.

The girl looked up, staring at the green of the very tall trees. His tired body rests on the roots of the tree. The roots alone were huge, Iluina could not imagine if she had to measure how tall the trees were here.

"I'm thirsty, hungry, and miss Rachel." Iluina held the sword-shaped necklace pendulum she was wearing.

After feeling her breathing had returned to normal, the girl stepped back to walk down the slippery ground and the rocks and roots very carefully. Although sure her legs had been blisters, Iluina could not linger in one place. A very dense and foggy forest like this must have been inhabited by various wild animals, even though Iluina had not or had not seen a single one since.

But, until when should he walk aimlessly? The girl was really thirsty and hungry.

"Bronghom ... "

Despite having called her best friend's name a thousand times, Iluina still did not come out of this place.

"Ah, whoever help me!" The girl screamed in frustration. "Or at least if it's like in novels or games, give me a clue to get out of here! Give me a little hint!" Iluina shouted while looking at the trees before her in annoyance.

And without the girl guessing, a red light shot out very quickly from the sky. Iluina moved backwards as the light seemed to fade before her. Until when everything was back to normal, the girl saw someone standing in front of her. A handsome young man with black hair and violet-colored eyeballs.

"Greetings to you, Princess." The young man bowed, one leg folded and touched the ground. Just like the attitude of a knight.
