The Main Course Of The Battle
PART 1: Little Finger Promise
We are human, living and surviving in this world.
But what if we can't handle what's going on?
Of course we struggle to overcome it even though it is impossible.
And when we have the determination and a strong heart to overcome it, everything will be resolved.
Have you ever dreamed of an extraordinary power?
We have it, but we don't know it....
“Kakak..”.
“Reeji, what's up?”
“Anu... Brother, I want to talk to brother for a little longer.”.
The boy standing behind the window in my room is named Reeji. We may not be siblings, but she always thought of me as her brother. Ever since he found my room, he's always come here and invite me to play and chat. We eventually became close. Even though he was just peeking at me and talking to me from behind the window.
“Ng... Sis, do you know why the seasons always change?”
“That's Because of the Revolution from the sun, Reeji.”
“Neither... Brother..”
“Just say they are playing with mistress earth and lord moon then alternating places with each other.”
“Hahahaha... sister could have..!”.
I smiled to see him laugh. Only he dared to talk to me even though I was locked up in this room. Yeah, I'm locked up in a room with no exit. With a place that is spared from outside contact because it is blocked by trees and hills in the northern Aven Mountains. Currently, the snow had already covered some of the hills.
“Kakak?” Reeji saw me arrive – arrived standing.
“I can't wait too long. It's not too late.”
SYUUT!
A blue-colored light shone through my body, then I controlled it to penetrate space. I moved to the front of Reeji standing now with a very short duration of time, or called by
teleporting. That's one of the powers I have from the gems in the legends - which are actually real-blue. Hoseki, that's the name for this kind of gem.
Why didn't I leave my room long ago if I had the Teleportation ability? There must be a reason.
And why can I have Hoseki in my body? Actually a more appropriate word for that question is ‘for what’ not ‘why’...
“Kakak..”.
“Give this letter to your parents. I'm sure they also know where I am.”
He comes here a lot, so he's not surprised to see me teleport because he already knows about Hoseki I have. Reeji received the letter with a sad face.
“Reeji?”
“Kakak really - really will go? I thought Brother would stay here and take me to play.”.
“We've discussed this many – times ‘kan, Reeji? We should have never met in the first place, and I should have never been in contact with anyone because I was locked up in this place. You know what I have, right? Isn't this weird?”
“No! I thought it was so cool!”
“You are still a child Reeji.. You do not yet understand a great power can be very dangerous.”
“Then let me come! I don't want to go home!”
“No, Reeji. I need you to stay safe here and wait for me to come back. I don't want you to get hurt.”
“Kakak means no longer want to accompany me again yes.” Reeji held back crying with a little biting.
lips
“Not so... Reeji, you know about my ability it is already very dangerous.”
“But it is because I want to know ‘kan, sis? Brother does not have to go right.. I also do not want brother injured and alone there. brother will definitely be lonely.”.
I looked at him long enough. The only – kids I've ever met are now trying to stop me
go with his innocent gaze. Does he have friends around his house? He might also live in a place isolated from others around here so feel lonely without me. I sighed in the middle of the air that was starting to coagulate.
“Alright, Reeji. This is for the last time.”
I held Reeji's hand and teleported to an empty field in the middle of the forest. He's used to me teleporting because it often forces me to take him somewhere.
“Eh? Why are we here?”
“I won't get hurt easily, Reeji. Let me show you the results of my training in there.”
I pulled two guns out of my bag. The medium-sized tree standing there was my target.
THE DHOOOR! DHOOORS!!
By gathering my power at the end of the gun, I pulled the trigger and both of my rifles fired bullets. Tree branches scattered as the direction of my shot hit the big branch. This is one of the abilities that my blue hoseki have, bullets. I put my power in an empty bullet so it's faster and stronger.
Perhaps, my shooting skills are still limited, but I'm quite adept at pulling this trigger to the right target,
this shooting ability is like I already have from my blood.
“Great once Brother!”
“You've seen that, haven't you? You don't have to worry.”
“Yes, I'm not worried anymore!”
The little details are white and then come down between us.
“The first time it snows, it's Brother's birthday! Yes right?”
“Eh? Why do you think it is so-”
“This! To you!”
Reeji showed something from his hand, a beautiful hexagon-wood ornament with a jewel in the center.
“Kalung... gem... where did you get it?”.
“I found it and made it... Then this and that... is fine 'right?”.
“I like... Reeji... it is very beautiful..”.
Although I know this necklace is not a real jewel necklace, but I am happy with the smile she gave me as well.
“Kalung from sister also I still keep kok! So I also gave you a necklace instead!”
A shiny stone tied to a rope he showed me. A familiar thing I gave her on her birthday some time ago. I held it and laughed a little, why would I give such a thing to a 10-year-old?
“Reeji, this thing..”.
SRIIING...!
“Power more beautiful huh?”
I used my hoseki ability to form a stone that I held to another form with my mind. Its shape is now almost similar to its giving. One of Hoseki's abilities I have.
“A copycat!”
“That's not what I mean... We're the same, right?”
“Ah! Also true! so...”
Reeji suddenly showed me his little pinky finger.
“Please promise we'll meet and play again like now!”
“Reeji..”
“How?”
I looked at his eyes that sparkled expectantly, and then sat my knees on the ground to align with
her height.
“Alright, I promise..we will meet and play again like now.”.
The pinky finger promise, that's what we did behind the giant snowy tree of legend, Reeji and I hooked each other pinkies.
I just think it's a childish thing - a lot for me who's 17 at the moment.
But, I felt a happy feeling that I had never experienced from anyone...
Just because I've never known or trusted anyone in my life and been locked up in there all by myself.
With the mysterious power in my body.... I finally decided...
“This trunk, will be our liaison. So keep it going huh?”
Reeji clasped his necklace with both hands on his chest. His feelings look happier.
“You're right, I promise I'll keep saving it.”
I stroked his head. Reeji smiled happily, making me smile back involuntarily.
And I'm not sure if I'll feel something like this again.
"We'll meet again. Reeji.”
I stood up and glanced at him who was still shorter than my shoulder.
I honestly don't want to leave it...
But if I had stayed in my room for 17 years, what would have changed in me? I don't even know why this power is on me.
That's why I'm going to go even further.
“Reeji..”
"Yes?"
"Keep my power from anyone."
"Yes! I understand!!"
"alright... I'll go first!"
Using hoseki, I teleported her back to her place. He waved before properly – completely disappeared from my eyes.
My journey will begin.
I don't know which direction I'm going to take or which way I'm going to walk.
And with only the strength to find the answer to the question that arises in my head.
Also a responsibility from the power of this legend, it prompted me to find out more.
The purpose of the Hoseki battle.
