THE ORIGINAL
OLD BOOK
Arthur stood in front of a glass attached to his closet. The man opened his mouth slightly and removed the dentures he was wearing.
"Can the girl kiss me with the dentures still attached?!" Arthur is full of regrets.
"Aargghh, stupid me!" Arthur stomped his feet against the floor in annoyance. "My first kiss was when I was being ugly!!"
Why did Winter give me a kiss that night anyway?! Does he like me?? - Arthur.
The man jumped onto his soft bed, he pulled the blanket and hid himself inside the blanket. Not only until there, Arthur continued to wriggle because he felt uneasy.
Goddamnit! Why do I keep thinking about Winter?! I know, last night she must have had a hard time kissing me with those false teeth! I can't even enjoy the kiss - Arthur.
The Phoenix's face was flushed red like a tomato, he felt his entire face now heating up as if it was emitting boiling steam. Plus he covered himself with a thick blanket. The man then kicked his blanket until it fell on the floor, he slept on his back while staring at the ceiling of his room.
"I...." Arthur Lirih. "I saw that girl again when Winter kissed me, who was she??"
It didn't take long to think, Arthur rushed off to the artificial lake at the school. The man was just wearing loose jeans and an ordinary plain t-shirt. Arriving by the lake, Arthur picked up a large rock and hugged it.
I wish I could see it a little longer. - Arthur.
BYURR!!!
The Phoenix jumped to suicide, not knowing how many times he had committed suicide throughout his life. Arthur submerged himself in the water, his eyes blurry and his breath touching the base of the neck made him choke out of breath.
Once again, when death approaches him. He saw someone swimming toward him, a very beautiful girl but it is not clear how it looks when Arthur will live again.
The girl smiled cheerfully at Arthur, this time swimming around Arthur's dead body. Arthur's two open eyes continued to look towards the girl.
"I found you..." The girl whispered softly in Arthur's ear. "We're so close, I love you Densha...."
BLAARR!!!
The calm lake was now burning by the stretch of orange-colored flames, this would be a very strange sight if seen by the human eye. How could there be water burning, right? From the blaze, appeared the figure of Arthur swimming to the surface. The man immediately pulled over while coughing violently, his clothes were very wet at the moment.
Densha??- Arthur.
Arthur's forehead wrinkled, as if he was being riddled by the girl who only appeared when he met his death. He immediately stood up and picked up a stone of a larger size. Arthur jumped back into the water, wanting to find out what the girl had told him once again.
"Hiks.... Hix.... Hicks..."
Instead of the words he received, he heard the sound of a girl crying in the water. Arthur closed his eyes to recognize the voice, sure enough! It was the voice of the girl who always appeared when she was about to die.
"Why did Densha do this??" The girl is still so happy. "I beg you, stop ending your life..."
Arthur's body turned back into fire then hardened like a stone and finally broke, from inside the stone came out a new Arthur figure or rather returned to life. The man swam to the surface and pulled over.
W-who is Densha? - Arthur.
"Don't the girl be a ghost, and she intends to ask me for help" Arthur's brain starts to think in a non-conformity way.
Arthur got up, walked back to the dormitory and changed his wet clothes. When all the disciples whose incidentals were Vampires, Witches and Werewolves were sleeping soundly. Arthur goes to the library instead, the man gazes at the quiet library room and goes inside.
"I have to find a book about ghosts"
"What are you doing here??"
Peach's voice startled Arthur, the man immediately turned around and looked at Peach who was carrying several magic books in both hands.
"Ah, no! I was just wondering about ghosts. So I want to read the book"
"Ghost??" Peach frowned confusedly. "The book is there" pointed Peach to the right.
"May I ask you something?" Arthur was a little scared by Peach's look that hated him. "If you don't want to, you can go"
"What?"
"Eh??"
"What do you want to ask?" Peach looked at Arthur coldly.
"............." Peach looked on, he turned around and was about to leave Arthur.
"Hey, answer me dong!"
Peach's steps reached the front door, the girl fell silent there and sighed heavily. "The only crazy person who tried to die drowning in that lake was you"
Huh uh?? Me?- Arthur.
The man looked down embarrassed, it was true that Arthur had used the lake to commit suicide to see the girl pass by in his mind.
"May I say something to you?" Peach asked in a cold tone.
"Hmm?? Just tell me"
"Stay away from my sister" Peach said firmly and passed away.
Whatdoes thatmean? Did he ask me to stay away from Pink? - Arthur.
Arthur stepped onto a shelf in the right corner, he saw so many old books lined up neatly in a wooden box that looked old as well. The man picked up a book, not a book about ghosts that he could even get a book about an existence like himself that he got.
"Tribrid" Arthur reads the title of a book written by Landon himself.
What is Tribrid? - Arthur.
"If I don't remember wrongly, the professor once said something like this to me"
Arthur took the dusty old book to a reading table. He blew away the dust that had been stuck there for decades or maybe hundreds of years, first he read Landon's year of writing and autographs in the book.
The book was not too thick but also not too thin, Arthur read the story contained in the book. He was surprised because it was a true story written by Landon. Not many curious things are contained in the book, so Arthur's curiosity did not explode as when he read a puzzle book.
"Tribrid is a tumbar for the Gods..." Arthur muttered in one of the sentences. "Well, what a pity this Tribrid's life is! Much more pity his parents, surely they do not want his son to be grounded"
The Phoenix continued his act of reading the book, he flipped to the next page. There Landon writes that he saved the Tribrid from the Hydra figure who was none other than Karin.
"Wow! So Karin's been alive that long??"
Both of Arthur's eyes rounded wide when reading the last page written on the book. On the last sheet are the family names of the only Tribrid ever born.
What the hell is this? - Arthur.
The last sheet of the book wrote a name that made Arthur shudder in horror, there was written a surname with the surname 'Mikaelson' and what makes Arthur most afraid is the name of the man who became the head of the family of the Tribrid.
"Densha Mikaelson??"
Arthur then closes the book and returns it to the shelf as it was, the man running down the ridge as if being chased by something. He recalled the figure of the girl he met at his death and mentioned the man's name. Arthur also remembers when Landon told the story of the man, though Landon never mentioned the man's name now he knows who the man Landon was referring to.
The deg!
The deg!
The deg!
Arthur's heart was pounding so hard, he walked down the hallway in his dormitory that his gaze was full of nothingness. He was thinking of Landon's words that called him the reincarnation of a man named Densha.
This must be a lie! - Arthur.
