BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 36: Stuck

Andros opened the door and his eyes were greeted by an amazingly beautiful sight. A natural landscape covered in green and clear blue sky, Andros ears hear the sound of birds chirping and the sound of waterfalls. Seen across there is a waterfall that is so swift and high that it raises a rainbow on it.

It looks like this library is located in the hills, visible ramps made of rocks that are stacked and have been damaged. On the left is a giant tree that is not like a tree in general.

And on the right there is a vast lake that is the end of the waterfall that has a river that flows into the forest.

Andros breathed in the air, very pure and clean. The atmosphere was very cool even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

Andros went back inside and found that Vena was holding onto his sprained leg, he grimaced a little and looked at Andros.

Andros smiled faintly at Vena then approached the girl and held the girl's leg.

"I'll fix it, but it's gonna hurt a little."

Vein just nodded then Andros took off the Vein shoes, looking smooth white skin and clean toenails that look shiny.

Andros slightly massaged Vein's ankle and then Andros moved Vein's ankle upward in shock and then heard the sound of the joint shifted followed by a slow groan from Vein.

"It's over" Andros stood up and smiled at Vena.

"Thank you" said Vena softly, unconsciously looking deeply into Andros' eyes.

Andros looked at his own body looking for what was wrong.

"Is something wrong with me?" Andros frowned.

Vein immediately controlled herself. And pura pura coughs to eliminate the awkward atmosphere.

"Ah, don't I just think you're very good." Vena said that while folding her legs.

"Hm, really?"

"Yes, and thanks for that"

Andros only returned a smile to Vena and then remembered that outside the library there was a good view.

"Let's come with me, I'll show you something" Andros reached out and greeted Vena with pleasure.

Andros led Vena to the door, with the heart of Vena's heart, and when he came to the door, Andros opened the door slowly.

The sunlight dazzled the Veins as the door opened. The eyes of the Veins welcome the incredible scenery, which makes it widen the eyes.

"It's beautiful..." Vena could not stop smiling behind her mask. He even almost let out tears because of the amazing sight before him.

Vein took off her mask and let the sunlight touch her face. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the breeze, the beautiful face as if glistening in the warm light of the sun.

Andros looked at that and smiled faintly. He also closed his eyes and enjoyed the atmosphere with Vena.

Andros and Vena went down the small hill, walking slowly to the big lake ahead. The lake water was clear until sunlight could penetrate the bottom, it was clear that the bottom of the lake contained colorful rocks and similar plants Seaweed in it, there are also small fish swimming at the bottom of the lake.

Andros also washed his face and drank water directly from the lake.

"This water is so refreshing!, Try Veins!" Andros took the water with both hands and thrust it into Vein.

Veins were a little embarrassed but brushed a little of their long hair into their ears and drank from Andros' hands. And sure enough, the water felt light and fresh.

Then another loud voice rang out from Veins stomach. Soon his face turned red like a tomato while Andros chuckled.

"Haha, wait a minute. I'll catch a fish for you." Andros stood up and cut off a branch from a tree near them. Andros used a knife from Uncle Ozo to sharpen one of the spearheads. And go to the big rocky area by the lake.

Andros jumped on the big rocks and looked for fish trapped between the rocks.

Veins just sit on the edge of a shallow lake while soaking both feet, this water feels very cool.

Veins soaked both of his legs and moments later he felt something pinch his leg. Veins look at his feet now in a very small, white-colored group of fish. The fish nibbled at the feet of the Veins, and it felt very tingly.

"My feet are not food" Vein chuckled at the fish, but she just let the fish. While looking at the birds that fly to and fro. Their chirping sounded very clear, it seemed like humans had not touched this place for a long time.

After some time Andros again brought three fish and a large stone shrimp in his hand.

"Hey, Vein. Look what I found" Andros exclaimed as he held the shrimp high.

"You look so happy, what's up?" Andros was astonished to see the smiling Veins from earlier.

"No, it's nothing" Vena got up from her seat and approached Andros.

The sky is already dark blue with a splash of orange on the horizon of the waterfall.

Andros took some dry twigs and dried leaves and he easily made coals using wood and leaves and blew them slowly and the fire was lit from the small coals.

"You seem like you're good at this" Vena praised Andros's ability, admitting that the young man before him is very reliable in various situations.

"Well, because it doesn't have magic. I have to survive without it, right?. So I have to use my wits and my energy." Andros threw small wooden logs to keep the fire alive.

This way like Andros is very rarely used by people because they can easily make a small fire using magic.

Vena had also been wandering for a few weeks but, he always stayed in a village when it was night, he had never really slept in the wild. So he was rather sorry for not bringing good supplies.

Andros cleaned the scales and threw out the entrails of the fish and washed them. The three fish had been pierced by a twig and were ready to burn.

Andros gave a fish to Vena and burned her fish, and Vena also burned her fish.

The sky was gray with a small white dot sprinkled on it. Night is like a black canvas with a sprinkling of beautiful dim light.

Only the faint sounds of waterfalls and bonfires could be heard in the silence tonight. The night wind blew from the lake and made the Veins shiver for a bit.
