X-Loves: From Another World
Chapter 41: Flying Creatures

A long-haired woman placed her face against the front window. His long hair that looked dirty and tangled looked creepy. His red eyes were so horrible to look at. But what makes the feathers stand is the fact that he does not have a body, only the head is floating in the air.

“KYAAAA...”

All the passengers in the flying vehicle were shocked not kepalang, especially Aldy who was holding the steering wheel. He immediately lost control and made the flying vehicle swoop down.

“KITAAAA JATUUUHH...” shouted Dwi.

It swooped almost 50 degrees down. Aldy who was still holding the steering wheel tried to climb the vehicle up again.

“Sial..”

Layang position starts to sloping. But because he plunged at a high speed made it too late to return to the top. The fly struck something that seemed to be shady trees. Hard shocks happen

and almost threw everything inside. Fortunately, it did not last long. About 15 seconds later the shaking stopped. It seemed that Layang had landed on a mound full of grass.

“Huff. You guys okay?” aldy asked looking back while sighing.

“Aduh... Not too good,” Anna replied with a chaotic position. His right leg was on Dwi's head, while the man's leg was on his stomach. That great shock seemed to have made everything go awry.

With great difficulty, they got out of the vehicle. The three found their position now in a fairly shady wilderness. It seemed like they were still in the middle of the Borneo Region. The sound of wild birds was clearly heard, breaking the silence of the already subsiding rain.

“The rain has stopped,” Anna said in a soft voice while looking up at the sky.

The blonde haired girl raised her hand to the sky, making sure that the rain had completely subsided. But at the time of doing so, he only realized something heavy was hugging his left arm. It turned out that it was Dwi who looked still frightened by what happened.

“Eh, Dwi. You why?”

“Ta..So it's k...kuyang right? A... has he s...has gone?” tanya Dwi stammered.

“Kuyang? Hmm...” Anna thought of something.

The figure of a flying woman without a body is also known in the world where Anna and Dwi came from. They called it Kuyang or Palasik. It is one of the most famous urban legends in Indonesia, and its story is still popular even until the 22nd century.

Seeing the characteristics of the creature that suddenly appeared earlier reminded Anna and Dwi of the black-scientific creature. But they can not be sure whether in Tierra Hyuma there are also such creatures or not. Anna approached Aldy, who was examining his Kite, to ask this question.

“Sister Aldy,”

“Hmm?”

“What terrible creature that appeared suddenly was his name? Does he include Rott as well or magical waiters, or other supernatural beings?” ask Anna.

“Huff. He disappeared too quickly,” Aldy replied as he looked at some parts of the vehicle.

The white-haired man seemed to be busy with his vehicle, and did not bother much about what Anna was asking. Anna thought of asking this next time. He turned around, but Aldy suddenly said something.

“Ah... Shit,”

“What's up, Brother Aldy?” anna approached him again.

“The wing part and the rear support are broken scratched. It takes a long time to fix it. Moreover, I do not have the equipment to try patching this part,” explained Aldy.

“Ja..So how is dong? Are we gonna get stuck here?” ask Dwi to panic. Ever since entering the dark area here, the man changed his attitude.

“Help?”

Anna held her chin. The girl was thinking about how they could get help in the middle of a dense forest like this. They also do not know if there are any settlements around the area. But before thinking further, Aldy suddenly replied to someone behind them both.

“Eh... Hey..”.

“Eh wait, Brother Aldy. Where to?”

Without further ado, Aldy ran over to something behind them. Anna and Dwi followed him from behind. About 15 meters later, the two stopped, and saw Aldy talking to something in front of him. Anna watched it carefully. Apparently the Siak man was chatting with 3 boys who were crouching in front of him, where one of them only wore pants.

“Ah, there are children,” Anna said.

It was not very clear what Aldy had told them, but it seemed that the man was asking the three boys for help. Anna and Dwi approached them. But unfortunately while being right in front of Aldy and the boys, a group of people suddenly emerged from behind the bushes.

“Hah? Who are they?”

The group of dozens of people looked at them with sharp gazes. Not only that, they are also seen holding several weapons such as shields, spears, and sharp objects resembling swords. It made Anna and Dwi scared because they felt threatened. But not with Aldy, the white-haired man seemed to casually look at him.

A man led them and walked over to Aldy. A fire can be seen floating in his right hand. It seems like he is a black element magician.

“Hai stranger. Where the hell are you guys from? Then what's the purpose of you coming here?” ask the man.

“We were from Jailolo and were about to go to Lhokseumawe, but unfortunately our vehicle was attacked by a mysterious flying creature and fell in this place,” Aldy replied.

The white-haired man seemed to casually look at her, in contrast to Anna and Dwi behind him who looked nervous and frightened. The man looked at the three of them before finally coming back.

“Alright, follow us,”

The man then told the three of them to follow him somewhere. Anna who was still confused approached Aldy and whispered to him.

“Hey, Brother Aldy. Where are we going?”

“Already, no need to fear. We just follow what they say,” Aldy replied.

They walked for about 100 meters from the initial location they fell, and finally the three reached their destination.

It was a fairly simple village, almost the same as the village of Licia on Una Island, but this was more traditional with wooden stilt houses. It seems that some people are on the move in this place, while some of them may have fallen asleep. A bonfire lit with fire magic was in front of the entrance.

The man brought Aldy, Anna, and Dwi to face another man who seemed to be the leader of this region.

“Pak Village Chief, we found three strangers who fell from their vehicle in the eastern forest. They said they were from Jailolo and were about to go to Lhokseumawe, but they were attacked by a mysterious flying creature,”

An old man with bird feathers on his head looked at the three of them with a sharp gaze. His right eye emitted a clear blue light from the darkness, making Anna and Dwi even more afraid of him. About almost a minute the old man was looking at them, or maybe more precisely ‘checking’. But as soon as he finished, the blue light in his right eye dimmed and his serious facial expression turned into a wide smile.

“Finally, the help we are waiting for has arrived,”

“Eh, What?”

“Help?”

The three of them were shocked by what the man said. What exactly does he want? Why did he call the arrival of Aldy, Anna, and Dwi a 'help?'
