“When the war was on the north door, I did not feel this feeling when at that time my hand killed more than at this time.” Kala let out a long sigh before laying down on the cloth he had just titled. “Change your way of mind, Kala. You can only kill if for good.”
When closing the eyes, no matter the smell of meat on the nose. His mind became calmer as the crickets sang lullabies to him. Alang chose to perch on the branches of trees.

When he woke up in the dark, he found four village heads sleeping on banana leaves while the other one was watching in front of the bonfire. Kala did not see a tinge of sun, it means that it is still midnight or heading into the morning blind.
One village chief greeted Kala warmly. “Mr Swordsman, you wake up in the middle of the night, is there a nightmare?”
Kala shook his head slowly before sitting nearby, he stared at the campfire as if his soul was in the fire.
“Have you been out here for a long time?” kala asked but her gaze was still on the bonfire.
“Ah, no. .. I just got a guard turn.” The village chief replied while scratching his head, a small laugh also accompanied him.
“Do you mind if I'm here?” ask Kala, whose eyes are now turning to the other person.
“Of course you don't mind, Mr. Swordsman. I won't feel lonely.”
“About loneliness, yes?” Kala smiled bitterly. “I prefer a quiet atmosphere. I don't really like that kind of murder, don't think I'm a bloodthirsty human being.”
“Of course I don't think like that, Mr. Swordsman. I Can see your eyes while killing, You don't have the stares of bloodthirsty people.” The village chief smiled kindly at Kala.
When clearly appreciating the opinion of this man, he was much older than himself and ate more salt, as if waiting for other advice from him. “Thank you for understanding ...”
The village head sighed before staring at the stars in the sky. “The world is too cruel for us, son. Life seems to be unappreciated, whereas death seems to be more cherished. In every human being has a big dream, killing him is the same as killing that big dream.”
Kala began to imagine the ten Black Moon Caping members he had just killed. He has a dream, of course, these people also have big dreams too. Kala had just destroyed ten dreams, this made her feel even more guilty.
“But this is what life is like. You must defend your dreams by destroying the dreams of others. It's like the saying that says ‘kill or be killed’. The world is a war zone, Young Swordsman, whatever you see is blood.”
“But, I won't like much blood, I can avoid bloodshed.” Kala's eyes sparkled, but a moment later he sighed knowing that it was impossible to do.
The village chief laughed softly and patted Kala on the shoulder. “The path you choose is the one painted with blood red. A road that uses bones as bricks. The road was lit by flames that burned the corpses. But I'm sure you can turn this road into a beautiful one, I can see it in you.”
Kala nodded slowly before smiling warmly. His heart was lightened because the village head was useful in giving him advice.
“Young Boy, you haven't eaten last night. What if you eat now? I'm worried about your health.” The village chief patted Kala on the shoulder.
Kala nodded slowly. “That's a great idea, Village Chief. I want to fill my stomach. Is the Village Chief hungry too?”
“I'm not too hungry. However, a small piece of meat is not a problem.” The village chief laughed softly.
Kala moved from his seat to the body of a chicken that was still lying not far from the campfire. Kala flicked his hand, trying to pull the chicken body into the ring but the result was nil. He shook his head slowly before taking out his machete and cutting off several plots of meat.
The Garuda knight finally realized his folly and scratched his head. “I will go briefly to the forest to find honey or spices. If there's a problem, just scream as loud as you can.”
The village chief let Kala into the forest in the middle of this blind night, he was very confident Kala could protect himself. The village chief let out a long sigh after making sure Kala went far enough.
“If only he was a Garuda Knight, then he was a person who deserved to be called so seeing his strength and character. However, it was a pity that he did not have any sign of the Garuda.” Knights The village chief sighed before staring at the flames.

Kala continued to sneak between the trees. He had no intention of seeking honey or spices. He was stupid enough to look for honey at night just to eat good chicken.
Kala felt that the presence of someone who was in the Spirit Formation Realm was monitoring them from afar. Kala could feel that the intention of this person is not good.
“What do you want? Come out and say what you want!” exclaim Kala out loud.
“I didn't expect you to be able to sense my existence.” That voice was the voice of a young woman, her tone was soft but it sounded loud.
“No need to mince words, get out now or ...” Kala took out her spirit sword. “Or I won't hesitate anymore.”
“Please calm, handsome man.” The woman's voice chuckled softly, but Kala did not know her form. “I just want the group of robbers.”
“What group of robbers?”
“Five people who were with you earlier. Don't pretend you don't know.” The voice became cold.
“They are not robbers. And if they really are robbers, what is your business?” Kala exuded a killing aura.
“I am the enforcer of truth, my job is to eradicate evil.”
“Once again I remind, they are not criminals.”
“I saw them almost rob you earlier. However, I don't know what makes you join them.”
“They are village heads whose villages were robbed. They were forced to rob, and they still did not get the loot.”
“Stay only they are robbers.” The woman laughed out loud. “Please not to interfere or you will die with them.”
“Sorry, they have no right to die.” Kala felt that he had found the location of the woman and started preparing to attack. “Step first my corpse.”
“Actually, you are too handsome to kill,” said the woman coldly, “but I will not hesitate to kill criminals!”
Kala saw something flashing from the place where he estimated the location of the woman. When activating the Garuda Eye, immediately the woman's movements seemed to be slow in her eyes.
Girl in black dress with mask. The two swords in his hand, this is the science of the Wind Sword Slicing Sukma, he muttered in his mind.
