The Thistle
4 - Sadness FayLinn
The rain rained on Nerdia for days. Fretfulness
the nobles and peasants were cured. It's a good time to plant Rouya seeds. Month
ahead, during the annual Rouya Festival, the young leaves of Rouya will overflow and
it will be very cheap. The young leaves of Rouya of any kind were very tasty
cooked for a companion of Rouya fruit. Mixing it with Whim will
spreading a scent that invites hunger to anyone.
King Orla is no longer disoriented with Black
Birdner. It turned out that it was not proven that Nerdia was hot for several days
previously due to his feud with Thistle. It is a legend, which
it is written in the ancient books of Nerdia.
Enya Moss and the other eight Enya sat down
circular in the workspace WinkGef Sprout. As guests of honor, they are not
it needs to be in the hall like any other noble. Today is the day of the funeral
Zinlin. It's been raining non-stop since last night.
WinkGef meets Enya. His face showed
a very deep sadness. FayLinn was in the arms of one
waiter. The girl was still crying, heartbreaking, calling out
her mother's. The Enya involuntarily shed tears.
”WinkGef Sprout, we're sorry, ” says
Enya Moss, rising from her seat and hugging WinkGef. His actions followed
The other one.
Even though it's been five years no longer being Enya,
the Enya still respect him like Chairman Enya, the position he holds
back then.
WinkGef met the nobles in the hall who were about to
giving a condolence speech. A sad atmosphere enveloped the luxurious house of WinkGef.
Hardly a word was said, just a teardrop. And the rain that has not
stop, further add to the grief of the invitations. ZinLinn is buried in a
the altar of Rouya. His body looks so white. Yell
the woven fabric of the thin Green Rouya leaf fiber covered his entire body.
But the guests can still see the look on her face which is still beautiful.
”My friends and also my Enya
respect, thank you for your support to us. As a final message, though,
ZinLinn, my beloved wife, apologized for the latter
times. We all know, she is a kind and loving woman. Because
it was him, I felt I had Zinnia and the whole thing. Thank ye. ”
WinkGef's short welcome makes the wives
the nobility is getting sobbing. They shrunk her tears with expensive handkerchiefs
respectively, the fragrant Rouya Green. Although some shed
fake tears, but respecting the WinkGef family's grief is a worthy cause
winkgef was the richest nobleman in Nerdia.
”ZinLinn will be buried in East Nerdia, where
originally. Today, we're gonna let him go. ”
WinkGef held ZinLinn and walked towards
the door of his house was open. A white BirdNerd was waiting. NotchWood
it's right nearby. WinkGef handed ZinLinn's body to NotchWood.
”I'm sorry I had to return ZinLinn like
here, ” whispered WinkGef while shedding tears.
NotchWood said nothing. He just glanced
towards ZinLin. A moment later, his BirdNerd bent both of his legs so that
NotchWood can easily climb onto it while holding ZinLinn.
”Good way,
”ucap WinkGef powder.
“Ibuu ...”
The nobles could not resist the tears of seeing
FayLinn suddenly ran over and hugged both of her mother's dangling legs.
”Mother, don't go. I follow !”
WinkGef hurriedly grabbed FayLinn in his arms.
NotchWod nodded respectfully at all the invitations and BirdNerd took him in
and his son headed east, in the pouring rain.
FayLinn's screams are heartbreaking, so
WinkGef ordered the waiter to take him to the room. Because of the nobles
and Enya won't be home soon before the rain stops. Rainy
riding BirdNerd is the same as washing the fragrant, smooth and green fur of the
Birdner. A fee that is not cheap to return it as before.
”WinkGef Sprout, ” whispered Ena Spark, ”if possible
I asked, did your in-laws accompany your wife during her illness ? Tofu, me,
not all in-laws in Nerdia are like that. They only come when their child
already dead. ”
WinkGef silent. As an ex-Enya, quickly
he captures the hidden intent of Enya Spark's question, Enya with skill
investigative.
”She came three days ago, when ZinLinn already
no.”
”Hm, of course it takes more than two days
to get here soon. That too without overnight. ”
WinkGef silent. As expected, the Enya began to
take the legend of Thistle seriously. WinkGef did not dare to speak
more, let alone the many nobles in his house. Not all nobles
that's honest. Even the majority of them are human beings who justify all means
for his Rouya garden to prosper and be honored by the King of Orla.
Enya Moss approaches WinkGef and Enya Spark.
”King Orla sends his condolences to
you, WinkGef Sprout. May they be given fortitude. ”
WinkGef nodded respectfully, receiving greetings from
The King of Zinnia..
”Maybe, next time we can talk
long about Nerdia. We miss you. More precisely, we need
much learned from you.”
WinkGef let out a long sigh. A subtle invitation
to return to being Enya.
”Yes, next time we'll talk at length.
I still have to calm FayLinn down. He is very sad,” said WinkGef politely.
The Enya nodded respectfully. The rain is beginning to fall, though,
the nobles are getting ready to return to their respective mansions.
Enya Moss left the hall last time. Him
still wanting to, WinkGef shared his grief with him. The man who is still
his best friend, though no longer Enya. WinkGef is the man who
always admired. Either when you become Enya, or when you become
the nobleman who raised his parents' estate. Nobility
richest in Nerdia. And one thing that still amazed him without being able to
the logic is, when WinkGef married ZinLinn. The real girl Zinnia. Uneasy
to marry a native Zinnia girl, as she would be ostracized by the natives
Zinnias. But WinkGef could present his in-laws at his home, picking up the bodies
Zinlin. If it wasn't for his great heart and negotiating skills, no
maybe it happened.
”WinkGef Sprout.
WinkGef sighed and glanced at Enya Moss, ”Why
you've been calling me that since ? You're making me sad.”
”I'm sorry, I have to respect you in front
Enya the other.”
Enya Moss rounds the round table in WinkGef's room
and stopped near the man whose face had never been broken from
her face. The man loved his wife so much, so much so
as if it filled the room.
”I know this is not the right time, but as
friend, I don't want you in trouble.”
WinkGef glanced at Enya Moss. There are no nobles
want to deal with Enya, besides her. Because he's Enya's ex. Impossible
he asked Enya Moss to just leave. After all, his best friend was very
understand itself.
”Anya is looking for a white-haired man.”
WinkGef tried not to react, even if he had enough
astounded. Enya Moss looked at her face.
”But I forbid they bother you, because of you
bereaved. Besides, I'm sure, even if your in-laws are from East Nerdia, he's not
like a Thistle.”
WinkGef smiled, ”Thank you, Enya Moss. ”
Enya Moss nodded respectfully, then parted
leave room. For a moment he stopped near the stairs and glanced over
upstairs. There was no sound of FayLinn's sobs. That girl must have been
falling asleep, along with Nerdia's getting late.
Ooo
It was already midnight when WinkGef entered the room
sleeping FayLinn. The girl fell asleep from the fatigue of crying. Both of his eyes
her hair and her hair are full.
”How is he ?” ask WinkGef about one
the waiter waited for him while he was sleepy. He must be very
tiredness.
”He just slept, Sir. Since morning, he has not
eat.”
”I'll be with him tonight. You may
exit.”
The waiter nodded respectfully, then went out and
door closing.
WinkGef traced FayLinn's face, looking for a reflection
wife's face. Everything was there, just looking younger and brighter.
FayLinn's hand. Warm. WinkGef breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since
the departure of ZinLinn, he was so afraid to touch FayLinn's hand. Fear
feeling the cold.
WinkGef splashed his body on FayLinn's side, then
holding the little girl in his arms. FayLinn opened his eyes and found
his father looked at his face.
”Daddy ..”
”Sst, sleep baby. You should rest.”
”I want to meet mom, dad.”
”Dad will tell you when you first meet
with your mother, I'm sure I'll treat your misses. Want to listen to ?”
FayLinn nodded, then hugged his father and inhaled
the fragrant aroma of Green Rouya calmed his heart.
WinkGef tried to remember that time. When he
leading the Enya. The kingdom of Nerdia was so prosperous that it blew
myths about Black BirdNerd. Black BirdNerd has unsettled the citizens of Nerdia.
“That time, dad was Enya.”
”Created ?”
WinkGef smile. The highest position after
King Orla and him over the nobles. A legacy in the past. And,
his own son never knew it. Even now he looks at her with
round eyes that are no longer sad. The stories of Enya's valour, indeed become
lip fruit at the Academy of Nerdia. It is a dream for men and becomes
the longing of women. The lives of Enya are always assured. In addition to getting
the harvest from the gardens of Rouya belonged to King Orla, they also obtained
the enormous salary of the Palace Treasurer. For the people of Nerdia, the work
Enya just went around Nerdia with the most dashing BirdNerd. Though responsibility
answer them more than that. Much bigger and heavier.
WinkGef also lightly narrates the story
his love for ZinLinn. The story that became the cure for his current miss on
her heart's lover who can't come back.
Ooo
Enya Sprout, leader of the famous Enya cunning
riding BirdNerd. WinkGef Sprout was the last descendant of the Sprout nobility
who inherited Rouya's vast garden. Half of the garden can
meet the needs of the entire population of the city of Nerdia for a year. Sprout is a nobleman
richest in Nerdia.
One day, during the Rouya Festival, where all
inhabitants of Planet Zinnia spilled over in the City of Nerdia, Enya Sprout chose
leaving Nerdia, heading east to Nerdia. He gave up all guarding duties
nerdian security on his nine subordinates.
Enya Sprout is flying east not without
excuses. The night before, he had a dream, his hands were pouring rainwater. Dreamtime
which is strange to him. Remember some
the last time before the Rouya Festival, the legend of Black BirdNerd reappears
there was much discussion among the farmers. Enya Sprout herself
observe, a month before the Rouya Festival, always Planet Zinnia hit by the season
it was hot until it reached six months, thus unsettling the peasants and nobles.
So it blows a recurring and unproven myth about Black
BirdNerd who wants to be the weather ruler in Zinnia.
The dream disturbed him, and so did he
flying east. The area that is said to be the origin of Black BirdNerd.
While crossing the Blue Rouya Forest, suddenly his BirdNerd was yawning and bleeding in
part neck. Enya Sprout and her BirdNerd swooped sharply and fell in the forest
Blue Rouya. BirdNerd. Someone hurt him from far away. Enya
Sprout was unable to move because both of his legs were injured
Rouy. His head hit a tree branch and caused him to be somewhere between conscious
and neither.
Just then, a woman suddenly came and
helped him. A beautiful blue haired woman. His face was always smiling and
his hands are so warm. As he brushed his hair, there was a smell of Rouya Blue
sweet ones. Enya Sprout wondered why the famous Blue Rouya was so bitter,
it feels so good the aroma. Just then, Enya Sprout realizes that she has
I fell in love when I first saw the woman. The woman then
take her to a cave on a hillside with her white BirdNerd. Goa
it was so spacious and beautiful, full of ornamental Blue Rouya tendrils that it was so
cold to the touch.
The blue woman gave him a Blue Rouya drink.
It was so sweet and warmed her body.
”Anya has come to fulfill her destiny.
Tell me, who are you looking for ?” he asked after Enya Sprout dipped
his drink. His body gradually felt refreshed and his legs no longer felt
be ill.
Enya Sprout feels, she's not dealing with
ordinary people. The beautiful woman before him was a special person.
”You are fretting... ” said the woman.
Enya Sprout suddenly felt her chest was so warm.
The woman touched her chest and closed her eyes. That's when Enya Sprout
felt he deserved to leave everything for the sake of that woman before him.
”What's your name ?” tanyanya raau's.
”ZinLinn Dwar.”
”Why are you in this forest. Just enjoying
Rouya Blue every day ?”
ZinLinn smiled.
”Rouya Blue is my life. And that means
”Therefore you use the name Zin ?”
ZinLinn smiled.
Suddenly a BirdNerd flap was heard outside
goa.
”Zinnn !” scream someone. A gent.
ZinLinn rushed out. His steps seemed
drifting, leaving Enya Sprout speechless. The woman has been
control his heart in an instant.
ZinLinn left with BirdNerd flying earlier.
Enya Sprout rushed out of the cave. His legs were healed and he no longer felt
be ill. Enya Sprout can't dwell in the cave. BirdNerd is dead.
There was nothing he could do but walk. Goa down and
walk between the legs of Rouya's tree. His consciousness was recovering, but his heart
become unsettled. Rounded off the determination in his heart, he would return to
blue Rouya Forest, to be reunited with ZinLinn. The woman has been
he controls all his heart and mind.
Ooo
The days passed with sadness enveloping
winkgef Plantation. ZinLinn is known for being a kind and happy woman
greeting all her husband's men. He even lingered on the plantation
the harvest Rouya. Picking Rouya deftly like a farmer. A very
rare done by nobles.
On the estate of every nobleman, Rouya is not
allowed to grow into a towering tree. The Rouya Tree
squat as tall as the workers, making it easier for them to pluck it.
When the tendrils are elongated, the workers diligently cut them before
become a firm and hard branch. Strong branches will be the target
Wild BirdNerd who happily perched on it and enjoyed
Rouy.
FayLinn was more silent on the plantation. Sit on
a swing made by one of the workers specially for FayLinn and
Zinlin. The swing was hung on a towering red Rouya tree
high to the sky. The tree usually becomes a stables for the BirdNerd belonging to several
plantation worker. But ZinLinn and FayLinn loved it. While playing
swing, usually they throw Rouya Green to the ground and BirdNerd to each other
fight in front of them.
”Can I sit here ?”
FayLinn turned to the voice. A lady
mother's age. Her skin was greenish red and her hair was golden green and
shiny. Her hair was full of Rouya Orange tendril accessories. And accessories in
the end of the crate is bright red. His smile is so friendly.
FayLinn grunts. He's not interested in who
even at this time.
”Cannot ! This swing belongs to mom and me, ” said
FayLinn sniffled, preventing the woman from sitting on the swing next to him. Swings belong
her mother's.
”Hmm, I just want to keep you company. Can ?”
FayLinn did not give an answer. He began to feel
continue calm.
”I know you're still sad. Would you
walking with me ?”
The beautiful woman squatted in front of FayLinn.
FayLinn looked at him, and felt dislike for the woman's attitude.
”Who are you ?”
”SpiiTaim.”
”You want to come here ?”
The woman smiled, as if she did not care
Faylinn Sinicism.
”Today your father invited all the nobles
Nerdians. My brother was invited too, and he invited me, because I was lonely in the
homehouse. Hm, but I don't like to talk about Rouya's gardens, so I
take a walk around this beautiful house and find a girl
gorgeous. Alone. Are you lonely ? ”
FayLinn grunts. Since his mother died, FayLinn
not a cute and adorable little girl anymore. He always snorted
if anyone approaches him. Especially if the person is his mother.
FayLinn got up from her seat. Groped Rouya's pocket
which he threw on his shoulder. And some Green Rouya fruit that's been
cut, thrown to the ground. Not how long BirdNerd perched on
the trees scatter down and scramble Rouya. A BirdNerd looks
familiar with FayLinn. FayLinn stroked his neck and BirdNerd looked
thrilled.
SpiiTaim moved closer to FayLinn.
FayLinn. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable being near SpiiTaim
which looks so graceful with her fancy clothes. The skirt is wide in white
it glistened with gold thread embroidery spreading the fragrant fragrance of Rouya.
”Do you want to ride BirdNerd ?”
FayLinn stared at SpiiTaim not liking. Suddenly he
fear of being near SpiiTaim. The woman seemed to be holding something
it must be avoided immediately. Hurry up he left BirdNerd who
sniffing his pockets, running towards his house. SpiiTaim stared at FayLinn
seraya smiled knot. The little girl could not be tamed yet, but she
sure one day FayLinn will run towards him.
FayLinn headed to his father's office and opened
the door was angry. The nobles present in the room were shocked.
”FayLinn ? What's up ?” tanya WinkGef hurried over
approaching son.
”Dad ... I'm afraid ..”
FayLinn hugged her father's legs tightly. Para
the nobility understood that their meeting was interrupted by a new little girl
just lost his mother.
”There's a father here, don't be afraid darling.”
WinkGef holding FayLinn. Suddenly SpiiTaim appeared
from the front door. FayLinn hugged his father's neck tightly.
”Mr Sprout, I'm sorry to have disturbed the princess
Sir, ” said SpiiTaim politely while bowing respectfully, ”I just want to
introduce yourself to him.”
WinkGef smile. Apparently a beautiful woman in
he was trying to get close to FayLinn. And that makes FayLinn
terrified.
A noble stood up from his seat.
”Pardon us, Mr. Sprout, I have not introduced
SpiiTaims. My sister just came from South Nerdia. I intentionally brought him
to get to know the city of Nerdia. ”
”Nothing, ” says WinkGef, ”I will
ask the waiter to serve him. ”
”Thank you, Sir,” SpiiTaim respectfully.
FayLinn hugged his father's neck.
The more SpiiTaim looked, the more scared he became. FayLinn himself did not know
what reason. But the presence of the woman, suddenly made her body in pain
like freezing. A flash of his memory goes back to the events of that afternoon, when
a black BirdNerd suddenly flashed before him and his mother. BirdNerd
the black presence alone made his body feel frozen.
Ooo
The meeting of the nobles ended at dusk.
The star of Memra glowed faintly as the sky of Nerdia was covered in clouds. Faylinn
looking from the large window of his room on the second floor. BirdNerd-BirdNerd green
the light started leaving his yard. There are a few people who
still on the page, including SpiiTaim.
SpiiTaim looked up and waved
its direction. WinkGef just glanced at it with his tail. He hoped, FayLinn did not
screaming in fear just because of the wave of SpiiTaim's hand.
FayLinn was silent, not reacting. I don't know why he
dislike of SpiiTaim, even tend to be afraid. Especially when you look at his attitude
to his father, so respectful and polite. It is a normal attitude for
a newcomer to Nerdia, but not to FayLinn.
”She's a bad woman, ” whispered FayLinn.
”Mr Birch
pay a gift to Miss Sprout.”
FayLinn. One of his servants stood up
beside him.
”Who ?”
”Mr Birch. He was a good friend of Mr. Sprout and
very concerned about the sadness, Miss. That's why he brought a gift. She wanted
give it to Miss. Mr. Sprout is waiting for you on the.” page
FayLinn looked down at the window. There are three people
just there. SpiiTaim, his father and a man who looks older than
her father's. Mr. Birch. Brother SpiiTaim.
FayLinn came down lazily, held by
his servant. In the courtyard, everyone developed a smile.
”Fay, Mr. Birch
gave you a BirdNerd. Look
!”
FayLinn did not respond to his father's remarks. But he
know to be polite, as taught by his late mother.
To always respect his father's friends. Sometimes, the nature of her children
rebellious, but FayLinn is a smart girl who already understands about
the honor of his family as a noble person in Nerdia.
FayLinn approached his father. Mr. Birch tapped
both hands. A BirdNerd suddenly came out from the grove of Rouya Trees
Green in the middle of the yard and landed near Mr. Birch. Many ways to
calling BirdNerd. Some people whistle, some with
shouting or clapping. BirdNerd is coming soon.
”BirdNerd beautiful, not ?”
FayLinn frowned. What is SpiiTaim's relationship
with BirdNerd's gift so feel the need to praise him.
”My sister SpiiTaim chose it for you. Him
you really want to have BirdNerd yourself, ” said Mr. Birch proudly.
SpiiTaim bowed, saluted.
”Thank you, ” say FayLinn short.
WinkGef was uncomfortable with FayLinn's attitude
hopefully his best friend, but he really understands his son is not good
hearts.
”Im sorry FayLinn, her heart is still not calm.”
Mr. Birch chuckled, then stroked his head
FayLinn, ”Nothing. I'm sure FayLinn will soon fly there
come here with BirdNerd. ”
Mr. Birch says goodbye. Turns out he's boarding
The same BirdNerd as SpiiTaim. SpiiTaim still waved his hand
faylinn Direction. But FayLinn was silent.
”Dad, why did the woman choose BirdNerd
for me ?” ask FayLinn suspiciously.
WinkGef smiled, then crouched down in front
Faylin.
”He's new to Nerdia, and it looks like he's
looking for friends. Seeing you are sad, there is no harm in him
amuse you ?”
”But why he chose BirdNerd for me,
though he himself does not have ?”
WinkGef stunned. The suspicions of his daughter are not without
excuses. Yes, why SpiiTaim chose BirdNerd for a little boy who
can't drive it yet, and he doesn't have it ?
”Hm, I don't know why. Maybe he's more
like to attach importance to others rather than himself ?”
FayLinn looked at his father, then suddenly whispered
in his father's ears.
”He's evil.... ”
WinkGef surprised.
”FayLinn ? You can't say anything bad
like those. Especially on relatives of friends father.”
FayLinn's quiet. But he was very sure of
his words. WinkGef stood up and looked at the increasingly dark sky. Star
Memra has drowned. FayLinn went into the house.
That night, WinkGef could not squint his eyes.
In addition to FayLinn's whispers that surprised him enough, the meeting with the
the nobles in his office room were quite agitated. WinkGef sure,
his friends can't even squint tonight.
The issue of the Black BirdNerd Rider is getting louder
blow among farmers. Some nobles have seen him fly
surround their plantation, and tomorrow some Rouya are found to have been
vandalized, even uprooted to the roots. The largest of the Nerdian cities
make the same confession. That the owner had seen Black BirdNerd
perched on the highest branch of his palace.
The nobles put forward plans to
catch Black BirdNerd, because it has made the farmers and workers fret.
Some workers on the plantation already many who do not want to keep watch at night
day. They were terrified when they met Black BirdNerd. And the nobles
ask WinkGef to face Enya, convincing them of Black's whereabouts
BirdNerd and at the same time ask for help to catch him. Especially have
it is rumored that ZinLinn's death was due to being exposed to Black BirdNerd's magic.
Supposedly, WinkGef was the first to do the act.
WinkGef opens
the ancient book Black BirdNerd. Tonight he has to find out who Black really is
BirdNerd that and what it has to do with ZinLinn's death. Although the nobles are urging him, but WinkGef
they have not yet complied with their unrest. Because all this time their fear was not
proved it. That Black BirdNerd will destroy them. Just some trees
Rouya who was uprooted to the root, even ordinary humans could do it.
When he showed up at Istal in the middle of the city, he didn't cause a riot
the incredible. Anya would not respond to such a trivial thing.
The ancient book only featured pictures of Black
Birdner. A man is either a man or a woman, because he wears
black hooded robes. The face is not visible. But clearly, he
riding a shiny black hairy BirdNerd. I don't know if there's a Rouya tree
Black, no one ever knows. Throughout the history of Zinnia, Black BirdNerd
it only appears but never causes any damage.
He came when the Memra Star was no longer closed
cloud
He came to take what he liked
He left after he got it
No one knows what he wants
Except yeah
