Black Gem on the Hill

Tama and Tara

"Sister, don't you see a lot of people suffering because of Dad?" tara asked while propping up her chin.

"Dad did the right thing Tara, he expanded our kingdom. That's what a king does, right?" reply Tama.

"But I feel unbearable, let alone the many wives who lost their husbands and children"

"Tara, I told you something. If you continue to live with pity for others, you better live without a heart" Tama said with a laugh.

"Life is not a joke to be laughed at! if I live without a heart, I can't feel the warmth of love forever" Tara said.

"That's why you were born a woman"

"By the way the eagle demon is how's his fate?" ask Tara.

"You mean?"

"Yes, Yola cut off her wings, is she still able to fly?"

"Of course not, you think birds can fly without wings?"

"I mean, maybe he's very tormented. I could feel the knife slicing through my skin, Sister" he said, then Tara walked to the window frame toward the Big Brother.

"Hm...I don't know"

"Can you see their suffering?" tara asked as she looked at the rows of houses that were burning with fire and people who were busy putting out the fire.

"No, but I could hear the screams of those who suffered so much" Tama replied, she began to realize what the father and his soldiers were doing.

"I want this war to end soon" said Tara, they stared at a point that is Kaenhi hill which is the separation between Koikidan village and Silvercast kingdom.

"Me too" muttered Tama as she rubbed the base of her beloved sister's hair.

The sky that was supposed to glow accompanied by the shining stars turned dark, even the moon was reluctant to reveal itself. There was no happiness but the sorrow of those affected by this attack, the cry of the innocent echoed that night, condemning the selfish rulers.

In the depths of his heart, Gamiroku is eager to learn of his former life, but seeing the war going on, he is increasingly determined to help the kingdom of Rhombus face it all.

"You saw it, didn't you?" ask Sohana.

"See what?" gamiroku asked, he turned his head.

"Their eyes" Sohana replied, then the man looked back at the growing flames far in front of him.

"I want to help them, Sohana. But not now"

"Why do you want to help them?"

"It's the color here that I grew up in and they're my brothers"

"If you really want to help them, do it, don't wait for something else" he said.

"First of all, I need to heal you first. After that I'll help them"

"Why do you care so much about me, Gami?"

"Because you are the only one I have right now" she replied, Sohana smiled happily.

"The smile will heal quickly Gami, even you don't have to wait very long" Sohana replied, she tried to sit down.

"We need to get out of here!" the man quickly left when he saw the soldiers again attacking Goduro City using weapons and arrows.

"What's Gami?" ask Sohana confused.

"Hurry up, get on my back!"

"But..."

Unsatisfied with the destruction of the Rhombus Kingdom, General Gyosana again paralyzed another village until everything was gone. Shortly after Gamiroku's departure from the city of Gorudo, Gyosana blew up part of the area that became the heart of Rhombus.

Fortunately, Yamanaka had evacuated the survivors and Ueshita was busy preparing a strategy with the King to fight the invaders.

"Our new general has made a lot of changes to Silvercast" Yola said.

"I admit that Gyosana is great, before, I thought she was just a cunning child thief" Goidam replied, folding both hands to her chest.

"My choice is always right, Your Majesty" he said with a grin.

"Bas stupid, soon I will definitely find Asuri's son and I will make sure to kill him. If I let the boy live, he'll kill me!" inner Yola.

"Hosh..hoshh...hosh.." His breath was cut off, his body was covered in sweat, he finally fell down before reaching his destination.

"My gamiroku!!" screeched Sohana, her body was thrown a few centimeters after she fell down.

"Gami!!" Sohana patted her shoulder a few times, yet she was still unconscious.

The sound of the horsemen getting closer, Sohana was getting panicked, as a result he dragged Gamiroku's body quickly into a cave that was mossy and covered with vines.

...----------------...

I saw her smiling at me with a body filled with dazzling light, The woman who gave her pendant necklace to me, now I see it more clearly, very beautiful, she sings a song that I have never heard before.

*A*pa this? I fell asleep on his thigh? Yes and it feels very comfortable.....

*He was busy stroking the base of my hair, his touch was very soft, I—didn't want him to stop doing it.

"*You know something Gamiroku?" villeone*a.

"Hm no.." I replied.

"You live in this world only once and there will be many trials that make you miserable. But if you deal with it calmly like water, then the problem will quickly pass. If you face it like fire, it will grow and devour you"

"Then I want to be a rock, be quiet and calm" I said.

"Of course, if you are silent, then everything will be stagnant or completely unchanged and frozen"

"Actually who are you? Why do I feel comfortable when your hands touch my skin?" ask me while looking up.

"You'll know later, now the most important thing is to fight to win. No victory begins with laziness. A true fighter must have passed so many tests that he almost died"

"But I'm weak and too early to start everything" I replied.

"There is no end if it does not start from the beginning, you are not weak, son, just lazy to maintain your spirit. Many people outside looked down on women, many higher-ups began to be selfish. Haven't you seen it yourself?"

"Then what should I do?"

"They close their eyes and ears when they hear and even see the suffering of others, on the contrary, they will open their mouths when they are near misfortune. You know what I mean, son?"

"No, not at all"

"Look, they do not care about the fate of their people, while the people are forced to care about their leaders. And if the leaders are hit by a disaster, then they will order the people to work together whether it's about taxes or the construction of new houses for the officials as well of course" he explained.

"Then, they're so unfair!" chirping.

"Of course, the world is unfair. Good people are always hurt and bad people always hurt. But it won't last forever, in the end, the good guys will win. Sometimes you have to open your eyes wider to see the world, son"

"Oh like that...."

"You've heard too much, get up, there's someone waiting for you right now" he said, then slowly disappeared leaving behind the beads of light.
