The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Doubts #142

Behind the high mountains in the Northeast of the Capital of Neverley there is a sea of sand that is very wide, and has a temperature that is quite extreme. In the third of the night before this morning, the temperature in the desert can reach zero degrees, compared to far during the day because it can touch the number 40 degrees even more.

The sea of sand is very calm, and very wide. There was not a single building in the middle of the ocean, nor was there a green landscape like grass or trees. The only building standing is a surveillance complex located on the edge of the sand-ocean-not too central. The surveillance complex was established there with the aim of being able to keep an eye on the desert conditions, as well as research whatever is in it.

It appears that there are quite a number of workers in the complex, consisting of several professional researchers, and several soldiers on guard. They were all people belonging to the Kingdom of Neverley, not those people from abroad.

The atmosphere of the night before the morning was very calm, on the sea of sand with the wind blowing very fast. The research or surveillance complex was suddenly shocked by a natural disaster in the form of an earthquake. The earthquake could be felt quite large, and managed to panic some workers who occupied the complex. Several civilian workers were evacuated to shelters.

The rumbling of the earth moving sound continued to be heard, and the quite violent shaking lasted quite a long time, approximately five minutes before finally slowly swallowing and returning to calm as before. Almost everything inside the research complex was in ruins, except for the main building which still stands firm.

"Sudden earthquake, what really happened ...?" asked one of the researchers in white robes, walking with quick steps leading into the large building of the study.

His steps were followed by several other male researchers, entering through the hallway, and heading to the main room of the study. Inside the room were more than ten researchers who seemed busy with books and notes. They were looking for information about the earthquake that had occurred, and it happened very suddenly and directly with a very strong shock.

"Find out about the disaster that just happened, where the center occurred, and the effect anywhere ...!" tell the first researcher to his colleagues.

Not long after he had ordered this, a guard soldier suddenly came in and met him with a message, "we saw something in the middle of the desert, a very large figure."

"What do you mean!?" the researcher said, not believing. He immediately accelerated his steps out of the building, and headed to the top of the tower that stood not far from the main building.

His gaze and the soldier who was with him immediately turned towards the middle of the very dark desert. In the distance there was a red pomegranate-colored light, shining with great dazzling. But the red light was suddenly covered by a very large creature. Although it is not clear what the creature is, but it looks its silhouette is very large and shaped like a snake.

"The Spirit .. the direction of the Cursed Oasis is ...."

The male researcher spoke with both eyes still wide open, unable to believe what he was currently seeing with both eyes.

"Send the palace a report about this, immediately!" tell the researcher to the soldier standing next to him. The soldier immediately went down the tower, and did as he said.

The world seemed to be enveloped by a huge force of darkness that was slowly devouring from the sky in the Southern region. The dark sky that seemed to continue raging incessantly, a thunderous sound followed countless times the flash of blue-colored lightning among the black clouds. The storm occurred on a considerable scale, extremely heavy rain engulfing the Pearl Region. The very unfriendly weather still did not collapse the guard of the soldiers at the border. Those numbering more than hundreds or even thousands of people remained standing firmly, guarding several wooden fortresses as well as filling the watchtowers erected along the hills.

South, very wide. The scenery that should have been hills and a very large and beautiful expanse of grass, now difficult to see because of the heavy storm this morning. A golden-yellow-robed royal mage standing on top of the watchtower seemed to see something in the South there. The black-haired man squinted his eyes, noticing the massive movement in the South that seemed to be heading North - or rather towards him. Not only that, some forests in the South seemed to collapse flat on the ground, flattened by large movements that are still unknown what exactly.

The birds numbered very much more than hundreds flying, panicking in fear, massively flying rapidly towards the North until passing right above the head of the royal magician. Feeling that something was wrong, the magician standing guard above the tower turned his head, and waved one hand at a riding soldier who was just below his tower.

"Look at the massive movement in the South, the forests were collapsing by something big!" shouted the male sorcerer amid the sound of rain and lightning were quite loud. His voice was almost drowned by the thunderous sounds and the rushing rain.

The soldier who received his information immediately rushed over, looking hurried, riding on his black pony, down one of the hills leading to the encampment of the troops established close to the village and the bay. The soldier was a soldier belonging to the Kingdom of Zephyra, visible from the golden eagle emblem on the right chest of the armor he was wearing.

Riding among the tent while in the camp, passing many other soldiers who seemed to be resting because they had passed a long night, let alone being greeted by a storm this morning. The black horse he was riding slowly swallowed, and stopped right in front of one of the tents that was heavily guarded by two other armored warriors and two sorcerers belonging to the Zephyra Kingdom. The tent is larger than the other tents.

The guards in front of the tent allowed the soldier to ride in, after he had tied his horse to one of the woods. With quick steps and a rash look, he walked into the tent and immediately fell to his knees before King Aiden saying, "permission to give a report, Your Majesty."

King Aiden who seemed to be standing in front of his chair and was busy wearing his white robe was taken aback by the sudden presence of one of his soldiers. Not only himself, Kenan who was standing right next to his chair also managed to be surprised.

"Say ...!" pinta King Aiden, finished wearing his robe, was still standing in front of the soldier who was currently kneeling before him.

"The watchtower saw movement from the South, a very massive movement. Not only that, the observation from the watchtower also saw a lot of large movements that caused the forests in the South to collapse" said the soldier, reporting to King Aiden.

The two eyes of the king seemed wide-eyed, increasingly surprised by the information he had just received from one of his soldiers assigned to guard the border fence. King Aiden immediately took his sword which was leaning right next to his chair, before finally he along with his knight Kenan, quickly went out of his tent, crashing raindrops that directly drenched the entire body as well as his robe in just an instant.
