Two Princes One Love
The Ara and Fruit of Heaven

Cloud walked to his room. The cold night made Cloud want to rest immediately. Implied fatigue from his handsome face.

Arriving at the room, Cloud immediately took off his robe. He then laid himself down on the bed, trying to close both his eyes while taking a deep breath.

"Ara .. I miss you."

In his breath, he remembered a girl who had accompanied him to sleep on his bed. He then pulled the curtain of the roof ceiling cover while taking something from the small desk drawer next to the mattress.

"Why don't you, I can't forget you, Ara. Every night before I go to bed, I remember you."

He said while paying attention to the emerald green butterfly flops that Ara used to wear while in the palace.

"What are you doing there? Did Rain bring you back here?" tanyanya herself.

Cloud closed both eyes again until the drowsiness began to force him to immediately dissolve in the dream. Holding the clip, he fell asleep in the middle of silence tonight.

"Good sleep, Ara" he said before falling asleep in a dream.

A while ago...

Cloud ran to the palace library. He seemed to be in a hurry to find something.

"Where is the book?"

His face was panicked, his breathing was hunting. It seemed that he had to quickly find the book in question.

"Can!"

The black book was finally found. Cloud then brought the book to the reading table. He opened it immediately and read it.

"Guard of the hill of the tree of heaven?"

While he was pensive, his breathing now began to stabilize. He no longer panicked after getting the book. Cloud continued to quickly read the contents of the black book before him. His eyes glanced to the right and left as he read the book. And a moment later, he hurried to leave the palace library.

Cloud walked towards the backyard of the palace while carrying the black book. Several bodyguards bowed their bodies, paying their respects to the crown prince of this kingdom.

"Prepare my white horse" he asked a soldier.

Before long, his white horse came and immediately Cloud mounted his horse to head somewhere.

I have to be quick, he said in his heart.

Cloud drove his horse towards a hill far from the settlement. He passed through the forest alone, without any escort. His heart was in a hurry to find something.

Arriving at the hill, Cloud immediately descended from his horse and walked closer to the big tree on the hill. A tree that was always a place to play as a child. Cloud looked around.

"Great Chief! I came to see you!"

Cloud called out to someone while holding the black book with his left hand. However, no response whatsoever happened. Cloud then opened the book again.

"Meditation? Hah, Alright."

He then sat down in front of the big tree while following all the steps of the book he was reading.

Slowly something then happened, the surroundings turned dark. Cloud is like being somewhere else. In different time and space...

A few moments later...

"You call me, Young Man?"

A white-haired figure appeared before Cloud while holding a wooden stick. Cloud then opened his eyes and he looked around like a thick fog.

"Are You the Great Elder recounted in this book?" cloud asked the white-haired figure."

"Yes, right. I have come to fulfill your heart's call. What's up?" ask that figure.

"Great Chief. If this is really you, I don't seem to need to mention what I came here for." Cloud ensure.

"You're a smart young man. I already know what you meant by coming here. But I'd better ask her to hear a direct answer from you."

Cloud was silent for a moment. He then expressed his heart here.

"Great Chief. Without diminishing respect, I want to ask you."

"I .. had a bad dream. The palace was attacked and there was bloodshed. My mother and father were victims too. Is the dream true?" ask Cloud to make sure.

"So .. has the universe told you?"

"Grandfather, please tell me what to do. I don't want that dream to constantly bother me." Cloud begged.

The white-haired figure then walked back to Cloud. Cloud immediately stood up to hold back. He thought the figure was going to leave.

"Your dreams are right, son. The recurring dream hints that the universe wants you to change it" replied the figure, turning his back to Cloud.

"Then what should I do?" ask Cloud again.

"Everything you do has its own risks. Are you ready to take it?"

"You mean?" ask Cloud again.

"There are two choices you can make. Is ...."

Suddenly the fog around me disappeared. Cloud is now above the sky. He held on to the tree on the hill for fear of falling.

What choice is meant?

Cloud could not wait for the figure to explain. He wanted to scream because he wanted to end this meeting. However, his heart needed the certainty of that figure for the inner calm he obtained.

Cloud had a nightmare about his kingdom. It turned out that the dream had been written down in a book stored in the palace library. A prediction for the future that worries him so much. So he ventured to meet the guardian of the tree of heaven alone.

"First choice, you face it. Your dreams will come true." The figure continues.

"No! I don't want that to happen" Cloud said.

"If you don't want that to happen, then you have to choose the second one."

"What is that, quickly tell me, Great Elder!"

Cloud can't wait. The figure turned to face Cloud.

"You have to meet a girl who has the same name as this tree" the figure continued.

"Tree this? Tin or Ara?" ask Cloud again.

"Fra. He's somewhere far from this country."

"Then how did I get there?"

"If you want, I can deliver it. But there's a risk you have to take" he continued.

"What risk? I don't care about that risk as long as I can save my country" Cloud said.

The figure then smiled. He saw the solemnity implied from Cloud's face. The figure then gave something to Cloud.

"I-this ...?"

Cloud did not believe what he was receiving. A butterfly pinch he received from the figure he referred to as the Great Elder. He looks stunned.

"Put this pinch on the girl you meet later. But don't put your hands on it. Ask for help from others. If it is true that the girl is meant, then this pinch will always be with her. Will not be let go unless the circumstances are urgent."

Cloud did not seem to understand.

"I'm-i'm ...,"

"Come here on Friday morning before the dawn star disappears. I'll take you to see him."

"Ba-good."

"Use all-white clothes to indicate if you are a guest in his world. But you have to remember. There's a risk behind all this."

The figure then left Cloud. Suddenly his vision became blurred. And it's coming from his subconscious.

"Is this real?"

Cloud couldn't believe it. When he woke up, he saw the butterfly flops were already in his right hand.
