The Thistle
3 – Grandpa and Grandchild
The star of Memra shines brightly. WinkGef
walking beside his BirdNerd who looked still sleepy, towards the door
instal Gate. Some of the doors of the inn rooms were still tightly closed. Event
last night's rainwater party continued with a long chat. I don't know why NotchWod
just want to serve the plots full of nonsense from the farmers.
WinkGef glanced at the two greenish BirdNerd
the one still stuck on the tree branch. The owner must be asleep. Hopefully
the owner didn't know about last night's rain party. WinkGef doesn't want any news
about him being in this palace heard the nobles of Nerdia.
”You are still sleepy, ” NotchWood said
overtaking steps. Her white BirdNerd followed NotchWood's steps, strapping.
”Yes. Last night's rain party made me
can't sleep, ” says WinkGef insinuates NotchWood. He was surprised to see a man
the old man looked fresh. At first, before the dawn of men
it was laying down beside him. Full room, only one room available
for both of them.
”See, the nobles are underwork ..”
notchwood said, pointing to the sky.
A swarm of greenish BirdNerd flew
forming an arrow formation. Occasionally swoop in unison, after which soar
quickly to the sky. The formation changed rapidly, forming Rouya tendrils.
BirdNerd's squealing voice sounded earthy. BirdNerd is fed
green Rouya fruit, the screech is louder than when fed fruit
Red Rouya. Some of the people who came out of the inn were fascinated by
the appearance of the nobles. They applauded happily.
”Front month there is a Festival. They're
practice.”
NotchWood
look towards WinkGef. The look on WinkGef's face. Apparently a handsome guy
it's not as smart as it looks.
“They don't need to practice so far.
News spread quickly, as fast as BirdNerd, ” NotchWood said.
WinkGef stunned. The rain party last night.
Surely the lords had heard that it was raining in the east of Nerdia.
”We have to go immediately !”
WinkGef boarded his BirdNerd then as fast as
lightning soared into the sky, followed by NotchWood. Luckily they were opposite
with the horde of BirdNerd nobles. WinkGef felt like he had to hurry
leave the area. Let alone looking at the costumes of those nobles, was not it
the usual noble costume. They were the Enya Kings of Nerdia. Faithful bodyguard
King ZorLya. The nobles would rather not deal with them. Each
with Enya, there must be a lot to sacrifice. Reason for loyalty
King ZorLya has always been the main one.
”Aren't you an Enya?”
WinkGef pretended not to hear
notchwood enquiries. He also does not like to remember his past when he became
Enya. Although it is undeniable, as the defending champion SkyDiver in Nerdia, his expertise
honed when becoming Enya.
”It seems, you've forgotten how to be
Enya. ”
”NoctWood, enough !” sergeant WinkGef, ”since
yesterday, you just insinuated me. I haven't done anything wrong this whole time. But
you always make me feel uncomfortable. I just want to get home
expeditiously. My wife and kids are waiting. ”
”I'm not sure, Enya's ex is like you
able to do as well as I am,” Notchwood said, feeling the upper hand.
BirdNerd NotchWood suddenly darted
quickly, swooping down and soaring as fast as lightning. In seconds
suddenly turned around and grabbed the wings of BirdNerd WinkGef. BirdNerd
WinkGef squealed in pain and yelled.
”Hei
! It was cheating !” scream WinkGef.
Notchwood doesn't care. He's back
it's moving fast. WinkGef furious. He also spurred his BirdNerd chasing NocthWood.
The white BirdNerd skillfully tickled from the pursuit of WinkGef.
NotchWood sometimes turns around
sudden and shocking BirdNerd WinkGef. But not WinkGef the SkyDiver
if not managed to dodge and control his BirdNerd deftly. Him
swoop down sharply and then soar high. BirdNerd NotchWood. She was too
darting chasing. It was unexpected that WinkGef turned his BirdNerd upside down by the road
soar high and turn backwards. Then suddenly grabbing the wings
Notchwood BirdNerd.
NotchWood the old man who is still strong. Him
he slipped, but his hand was still able to hang from his neck
BirdNerd. WinkGef was worried to see NotchWood hanging in lehar
his bird. But before long she was relieved to see her in-laws deftly
jump on top of his BirdNerd, then
bribe something. BirdNerd NotchWood is back.
WinkGef rushed far away. Exists
the horde of green BirdNerd in front of him who was flying slowly, closed
his eyes are glimpsed by a white cloud.. Apparently the son of the nobles who wanted to
go to the academy. The green feathers glistening BirdNerd they already looked
from a distance, it reflected the light of the Memra Star that began to rise.
WinkGef swooped down before reaching
the clouds in front of him, then soared suddenly in front of the horde.
The BirdNerd horde was shocked and scattered like a ripe Rouya
which fell to the ground. A moment later WinkGef turned around and sped away.
Divorced school children
it made the NotchWood BirdNerd that had just passed through the cloud clump startled. Tak
can be avoided bumping into one of BirdNerd. I heard screams of pain
Birdner. WinkGef smiled wryly, looking at the chaos behind him. Nonexistent
who can beat the best SkyDiver in Nerdia.
Ooo
FayLinn ran to welcome the arrival
her father's. Behind him, the servants followed his tiny steps. Like,
the girl had prepared her father's welcome. She wove her beautiful hair
with an aesoris of yellow Rouya bark, which ties her hair thread.
Not to mention the brooch from the bark carving of the Green Rouya Tree, which he had pinned on
the ends of his shirt crumbs that dangle into his stomach. She's dressed up like
teenage girls Rouya who want to attract men. Thankfully he didn't
wear lip green.
”Daddyhh !” her screams are full of longs.
WinkGef hands over his BirdNerd
LisTyn, his assistant who greeted him at the gate.
”Welcome, Sir, ” greet LisTyn
seraya bowed respectfully.
”He's exhausted, bathe him with Rouya
Warm green first!” winkgef orders while patting his BirdNerd head. BirdNerd
it was handed over to another servant who faithfully waited behind LisTyn.
FayLinn's been hugging WinkGef's leg, too,
force WinkGef to squat and stroke the shiny green hair that
missed him. Green Rouya bushes gushed from behind the thick hair
Faylin.
”Who decorated your hair ?”
FayLinn did not answer. Servants
bowing your face respectfully in response. The girl's been restless since yesterday, then
they tried to comfort her by dressing her up. FayLinn refused, but
the servants persuaded her that her father would love to see her more beautiful
than usual. But the joy in the look on FayLinn's face was just a moment away
met dad. A moment later, he chatted about his mother's condition.
”Mother calls-call dad every day.”
WinkGef's facial features turned anxious, however
trying to cover it up in front of her daughter. NotchWood is standing by
beside him. His cheeks were scratched and a few drops of fresh blood stained the beard
whiteness. Must have been flapping BirdNerd's wings.
”Sorry ...” says WinkGef feels guilty,
”servant will treat you soon.”
”No need, this is just a regular wound.”
sergah NotchWood while observing the tiny body in front of him.
NotchWood crouched down and stared at the pair
faylinn's round eyes. Really ZinLinn's eyes.
”What's your name ?” ask NotchWood friendly.
”FayLinn Sprouts. Fay my name, Linn's name
my mom and Sprout my dad's name. Are you my grandfather ?”
NotchWood smile. FayLinn is so funny
when talking. His head swayed left and right, making his hair green
she moved and spread her aroma. And bark accessories
Rouya in her hair danced as her head swung. Anyone who sees it
definitely anxious. That kid is so sweet and fun.
”Yes, I'm your grandfather. NotchWood Dwar's.
You should be called FayLinn Dwar. ”
WinkGef. Not the right time
discuss the current descent name. And WinkGef felt entitled to protest the sentence
last NotchWood.
Without further ado, WinkGef
taking NotchWood to meet ZinLinn, NotchWood did not move. She still is
fascinated by the tiny figure before him. A person who reminds him of time
his life with ZinLinn.
”I want to be with my grandson for a while, ”
her door.
WinkGef nodded and left them
both. FayLinn took her grandfather to sit on a towering Green Rouya tree
high right in the middle of the large courtyard. Under the tree there is a
a long bench, made from the trunk of the Green Rouya tree. While on the branches
Rouya was perched on some BirdNerd owned by WinkGef, was enjoying
rouya's Fruits.
”Grandfather,
I made Whim for grandpa. Grandpa would have liked it. I've prepared it
since yesterday, “ said FayLinn who suddenly felt so familiar with his grandfather
the one that was a lifetime only the first time he saw.
“You are exactly like your mother, “ words
NoctWood stroking FayLinn's hair.
”Yes, everyone says it
at me. ”
NotchWood looked around the courtyard.
The green grass looks wet.
”What did it rain yesterday?”
”Iya. Mother said, if I am sad, then
Zinnia is also sad.Makanya rain also fell.”
NotchWood. That last sentence
it can hardly be trusted. Is FayLinn ...
”FayLinn, try to raise my hand.
Look, like grandpa. ”
FayLinn followed his grandfather's actions.
They sat face to face on the long bench and raised their hands.
”What
which makes you sad dear ?” ask NotchWood softly.
“Everyone said, my mom is going to die.
I don't want my mother to die. I love mom very much, ” said FayLinn
with a hoarse voice. His eyes began to glaze over. And the sky began to cloud up
flimsy.
”Why ?”
”Because if mom dies, I won't
I can meet him again. Nobody took me to the sky, nobody
who asked me to run in the water. I'll be alone. ”
Tears flowed down her cheeks
fat one. NotchWood felt the sadness of his grandson's heart.
”You won't be alone, baby. Exists
grandpa.”
”No, grandpa will definitely leave too. All
people will go and leave me alone. I don't want to be alone.”
FayLinn is getting more and more hilarious. A moment later,
drizzle down. The longer the harder. BirdNerd was originally perched on top
they one by one left the Rouya tree and went inside the Astal, no
away from WinkGef's house.
NotchWood. FayLinn really
Zinlin. The tiny body in his arms.
”Grandfather will always protect you, baby.
Grandpa promised.”
WinkGef looked at the two men from behind
room's window. For some reason, his heart was so bitter to watch them. Raining
increasingly profuse.
Ooo
Issues circulating in stables all over
Nerdians. That Zinnia will be on the verge of famine if the summer does not come
stop over. It rained only once, and it did not wet the land of Nerdia enough.
The most fertile soil on Planet Zinnia.
The city of Nerdia was the capital of the Kingdom
Nerdia, the only kingdom on Planet Zinnia. King ZorLya is the ruler
absolute in Zinnia, the planet that nourishes itself by farming various kinds
Rouy.
King ZorLya himself has no power to stop
the issue will dry up Zinnia. If it doesn't rain until next month, then
the Rouya trees in the stables will begin to wither. The farmers can no longer
planting Rouya seedlings. They do not want to draw a well to water the garden because
it's free anyway. That water won't make Rouya fruitful, it will only
just make him survive. That can make Rouya grow, flower and
fruit is just rain.
”How about Thistle ?” ask King ZorLya
hapless.
Enya looked at each other. The legend
so affecting the people of Nerdia, even to the ears of King ZorLya.
”That's just a legend, My Lord Ruler of Zinnia.
Not too thoughtful, ” said one of Enya while looking down deeply.
The Round Room, the grand meeting room in
shiny again. He had to save on using the Green Rouya to wipe
his throne. The carved chair of Rouya's tendrils with a carving of the king's face
it also looks so dull. Even King ZorLya no longer felt comfortable sitting down
on his throne.
The nine leaders of Enya sat down
circular, just down in each chair. Even though it still looks strong
with typical costumes of Enya orange with embroidery ornaments
Rouya was red, they looked desperate.
”Is because now I only have
nine Enya ? That's why my kingdom is now on the verge of drought?”
Enya Moss, head of the Enya, man
he was the tallest and heaviest, standing from his chair.
”At least one Enya will not
reduce the glory of my Lord. We are ready to serve my Lord Ruler of Zinnia, with
our soul and body.”
King ZorLya snorted. Yesterday he was
sent some Enya to investigate the issue of rain falling on the edge
blue Rouya Forest. Now he wants to hear the full report for just
calm his heart. Every Enya who serves him has expertise
by yourself. And the most important skills needed today are actually owned
Anya who resigned.
”Ah, if Enya Sprout is still here. Him
always know about the weather. Now
it's not appropriate to ask for his help. I am the ruler of Nerdia. Folk
depending me. ”
”My Lord Ruler of Zinnia, we are at your service
with all abilities. For Zinnia. ”
”For Zinnia !” exclaim all Enya.
”Hmm..”
Enya Moss nods at Enya Spark, Enya
youngest and youngest. Notoriously good at snooping, investigating and
interrogating. Enya Spark replied to Enya Moss' nod, then stood up.
”Enya Spark ask permission to report
reconnaissance to the eastern area, Tuanku Ruler of Zinnia, ” Enya Spark said respectfully.
King ZorLya looked at the young man
standing to his left, giving permission to speak with a nod.
”Two days ago, there was news of rain falling
the Eastern Area of Nerdia. Precisely on the edge of the Blue Rouya forest, a rare area
resident visited. Yesterday, me and some Enya soldiers were lurking there
while doing the SkyDive exercises in preparation for the Rouya Festival next month. ”
”I think you know I don't like it
long-winded..” interrupted King ZorLya upset.
”I'm sorry, My Lord Ruler of Zinnia.
From the results of our investigation, it turns out that there was a rainwater party at an Istal in
ringnia village. An old man handed out free rainwater on the Instal. ”
”Who is he ?”
”A traveler. They left for a moment
before we came. It seems they are heading towards this city. ”
”Hm, so the old man got some water
rain from the Blue Rouya Forest ? Who is he ?”
”The farmers nicknamed him Thistle. ”
King ZorLya stood up and heard
thistle.
”So the legend was true ?”
Enya Hork, Enya who is an expert in history,
suddenly stand.
”Please Enya Hork speak, My Lord
Ruler Zinnia.”
”Is this about Thistle ?” ask King ZorLya
curious.
“True, My Lord Ruler of Zinnia. Thistle
it is a Zinnia legend that has been passed down through generations. He controls the weather in
Nerdians. According to legend, at this time,
Thistle is in the process of generational inheritance. Thistle is
dying, because no generation has inherited it. People are also nervous
with the presence of BirdNerd Black some time ago. He showed up wrong
a stables on the edge of Nerdia. People are worried, if BirdNerd Black
taking control of Thistle, Zinnia awaited destruction. ”
“BirdNerd
Black ? Is the fur really black ? Hhh .. I hate black!” sergeant King ZorLya.
Silent mood. Pretty weird problem, though,
because no one knows who Thistle really is. The only way is
get the old man.
”Gather all suitable old men
with Thistle's characteristics, ” lover King ZorLya, ”from him we will know
what really happened in Zinnia. And, catch BirdNerd Black !
People will be calmer if he is locked up underground.”
”Good, My Lord Ruler of Zinnia!” exclaims para
Enya while standing and bowing her body.
King ZorLya left the room, and,
leaving the sweet fragrance of Green Rouya. The Enya started to prick.
”We must not simply believe in
legend, Enya Spark !” sergeant Enya Trot.
Enya Spark replied firmly, ”But
this legend has ruled the people of Zinnia. Want to not, we have to make
they relax. For Zinnia. ”
Enya Moss got up from her seat and
calms the Enya who begin to quarrel.
”Quiet all, ” he said in a tone
authoritative, ”we first do the king's orders. Let's see the results until
Festifal Rouya next month. May not be the last festival in Nerdia. You guys
know all your duties. I'll visit WinkGef.”
”Enya Moss, not worth asking for help
on the people !” prevent the others.
”I didn't ask for his help. I just
will visit his wife. His wife is sick. ”
The Enya no longer argue. Enya Moss
it is the oldest and wisest Enya. King ZorLya never hesitated to ask
advice and advice from him. Under these conditions, King ZorLya would be extremely
depending on Enya Moss.
Ooo
WinkGef allows NotchWood to enter
his room to see ZinLinn, after WinkGef had previously met his wife
in advance. FayLinn cheerfully led her grandfather.
NotchWood stared at the thin and frail figure
on that fancy bed. The fragrant bushes of Green Rouya greeted him. Some
the waiter came out politely, leaving the three of them behind.
”Mother, I brought grandfather. Look !”
FayLinn stroked her mother's cheek, gently.
ZinLinn opened his eyes slowly. His weak eyes collided with my eyes
Notchwood.
”MyBuddy ..”
”Daddy ..”
NotchWood dared not step closer
son's bed. As much as she could, she held back her tears. ZinLinn stared out
the window and he knew that his grieving father was looking at him. Raining
back down.
”Close to dad, it's time. ”
NotchWood shook his head strongly. Approaching
ZinLinn was the same as speeding up his farewell. For him, enough seeing
the girl suffered. Same with the incident that night, when he peeked from
the big window in the room, seeing ZinLinn die gave birth to FayLinn.
Even if he wanted, at that time he was able to present a storm that could destroy
Winkgefs. The man who took ZinLinn from his life.
”Daddy ..”
FayLinn jumped out of his mother's bed, and
he took his grandfather's hand. Dragged him to ZinLinn's bed.
”Grandfather is embarrassed because it has not been a long time
meet mom !” said FayLinn cheerfully, ”kakek promised to heal mom. Yes
right, Cake ?”
NotchWood nodded,
rubbed his eyes together, hoping that the clear circles were not
wetting beard.
ZinLinn stretched out his hand, NotchWood
greeted him trembling. As soon as their hands touched, ZinLinn
suddenly stretched. NotchWood panicked, then tried to take his hand off
zinlinn. But ZinLinn held it so firmly. NotchWood felt
zinlin's grip was cold as ice.
”ZinLinn, drink this !”
NotchWood takes out a small bottle containing
blue Rouya Sari and dripped it into ZinLinn's mouth. For a moment, ZinLinn was no longer
stretch. His body was slacking and limp, but it was getting colder.
”Mother why, Cake ?” ask FayLinn worriedly.
”Grandfather has given your mother medicine, baby. Your mother
it's gonna be fine. Now, grandpa wants to be alone with your mom. Can ?”
FayLinn nodded. He's out of the room
and found his father behind the door.
”Stt, father don't be noisy, yes. Grandpas
treating the mother. Let's go !”
WinkGef smiled at the chatter
Faylin. She carried him away, away from the door of the room. Today will be
a sad day for him. Before meeting NotchWood, ZinLinn had
say goodbye to him. The meeting with his father will end
all the wonderful stories between them.
”Dad,
I want to ride BirdNerd myself.”
“Front month dear, at the Festival. You
will see you become the best SkyDiver in Nerdia. ”
”I will also be the best SkyDiver.
I'll be like a father !”
”Oh yes ? It's called father's son. ”
NotchWood heard a little laugh
Faylin. He looked at ZinLinn's increasingly whitened face. If only, he had not
removing ZinLinn for winkGef, none of this will happen.
“You have a great kid, “ says
NotchWood.
“He's amazing, dad !”
ZinLinn
getting pale and limp. Second by second walk. They're both alike
understand, the departure of ZinLinn will not be long.
“I shouldn't be here. I just
the more you suffer. What do you feel, my son ?”
”Cold. I froze, father ..”
NotchWood again drips Rouya Blue.
Rouya Blue is notoriously bitter, but is used to cure a wide variety of ailments.
”Rouya Blue will not cure me
...”
”I know, Zin. But at least, it will
relieve pain. Tell me, is this all because of BirdNerd Black?”
ZinLinn nodded weakly.
”So she found you already ? Not long
again he'll find me. Also FayLinn.”
ZinLinn clasped his father's hand tightly.
”Take him away, dad. Rescue her. Him
in danger.”
NotchWood.
”Bring him as soon as I go.”
”MyBuddy ..”
NotchWood hugged ZinLinn's pale hands.
His body was turning white and getting colder.
”I have to go now, ZinLinn. I
will be looking for BirdNerd Black. I'll bring him before you to heal you.
We give him what he wants, and you'll live with your son,
WinkGef, and everything you've been craving all this time. ”
”No, dad. No ! For the sake of Zinnia, do it
what I asked for. Take FayLinn away.”
NotchWood could say nothing more.
He knew that no one could save ZinLinn. He has chosen his destiny
and he will fulfill his destiny now. Shown in his eyes, when
Little ZinLinn danced in the rain. He loves the rain so much
just as he loved Zinnia. Fate drags him to be bound by a promise with
WinkGef and gave birth to FayLinn.
”You should obey my words,
my kid. You shouldn't have married that man, ” whispered NotchWood.
ZinLinn smiled.
WinkGef and FayLinn suddenly burst out
go in. The little girl felt her mother was leaving her. He forced
he entered his mother's room, though WinkGef had tried to prevent it.
”Mibuuu !” faylinn shouted hysterically
shaking his mother's body.
ZinLinn turned his head and smiled weakly at
Faylin.
”Mother loves you dear, surpass Zinnia
and all of it. ”
”Mbuuu ! I love mom ! Mother don't
goii !”
WinkGef approached his wife and was shocked
when touching. ZinLinn is so cold. His body was pale and
whitening, from head to toe. That fate has been picked up.
WinkGef stared at NotchWood. NotchWood
desperate shakes. Tears flooded his face and beard. ZinLinn
been away.
And NotchWood and WinkGef are just as capable
let FayLinn cry over her mother's body. The rain was heavy in Nerdia, even
accompanied by thunder.
Ooo
