Monsters

"I feel so guilty, then how should Lilac?" sohana asked the lion demon named Lilac.

"You have to apologize, because my son said that he kept mocking you until he got angry and ended up killing" Lilac said.

"If I were him, I would have killed him too, because my son was hurt because of his actions" Lilac continued. Sohana just fell silent, she felt very guilty for saying the thing that made Gamiroku hurt.

"Then what should I do?" ask Sohana frustrated.

"Obviously you should apologize"

"I don't know where he is now"

"What's wrong, I'll take you. Get on my back" Lilac said.

"Can I?" tanyanya doubt.

"Of course, you've helped me find my son"

"Alright" the girl climbed Lilac's back slowly, and Lilac ran up and followed the child behind her.

In the Silvercast kingdom without the King, the chaos after the disaster began, they blamed each other for the unfortunate events that befell them.

Many buildings collapsed and were destroyed left, the ministers were seen indifferent to the fate of their citizens. The powerful higher-ups even laughed and enslaved those who had lost everything under the pretext that there was nothing else to do but work to get food.

The situation was far inversely proportional in the kingdom of Rhombus, the higher-ups there trampled their citizens and required them to rebuild the damaged government offices. While many houses are not repaired and abandoned.

After the disaster, the war was temporarily halted. In addition, Goidam is still trapped in a small cave considering the landslide that locked them away for a full day.

"Quick dig!!" gyosana orders, the soldiers dug using their hands because there were no shovels or other tools.

"Relax Your Majesty, soon we will come out of this cave" said Gyosana to calm the King who had run out of oxygen.

"How much longer?" tanyakanya.

"His Majesty" Gyosana replied.

"We must quickly go to Silvercast, as we have been, there will definitely be a lot of damage that we may not be able to overcome anymore" Goidam explained.

"Alright, I'll dig as hard as I can" he said, then he went to dig up to make a small hole then they continued to dig and finally got out safely.

Arriving outside, Goidam immediately inhaled as much air as possible. "Finally...."

"Your Majesty, we must hurry to rush to Silvercast"

"Hm all right, get our horses ready" he ordered.

"But King, our horses are no longer left and our chariots are destroyed" one of the soldiers replied.

"Then we just walk! The sooner the better" Goidam goes ahead followed by Gyosana and the other soldiers.

A few meters from the existence of the father, Gamiroku was rendering his body, he felt very tired to sleepy. His anger did not go out until he decided to rest for a while.

He was still wondering why a horn could grow on his forehead? And as it grew, a great fury suddenly took hold of it.

Moreover, Gamiroku felt strange to himself. It was like something big was hiding inside his body.

The breeze made him sleepy and finally fell asleep under a shady tree.

"Hey, why are you burning the flames of your anger?!" ask Asuri in her dream.

"You should be able to hold back and not let the curse get stronger"

"Mother is disappointed in you Gami" Yume said.

Gamiroku woke up from his dream. "Fight with restraint" he turned his head and looked at the yellowish sky.

"How long have I been asleep? Ck" he moved on and went back to taking aimless steps.

It looks very scary plus the two eyes are lit and horns and clothes are frayed. He glanced back and forth looking at every window of the house where people peeked at him with fear.

"Hey! Who are you why did you come to our village?!" ask a man who is thought to be the village chief.

"Me?" tanyanya grinning.

"Yes!"

"I'm a monster who wants to rest here" he replied.

"The monster? We cannot accept the presence of a Monster! You better get out of here! Shuh shuh!" he shouted, he brought a straw fork and pointed it in front of Gamiroku's body.

"Why should I go if I want to rest here?" he came back grinning.

"We're not giving you a place to live!" he stammered when he saw Gamiroku's brightly lit eyes.

"Hm so yes" he slowly pulled his steps back.

Instead of leaving the village, Gamiroku even brought disaster to destroy the place. Proudly he ran here and there carrying a great wind that flew all of them while laughing with satisfaction.

Then hit the ground with his feet until a big earthquake came to shake the village. After that, no building stood firm, everything was destroyed to the owner.

Goidam also felt the shock because he and his soldiers were about to come to the village. "Do you feel it Gyosana?" tanyanya panic.

"Yes, it looks like we should quickly find His Majesty's shelter" Gyosana replied.

"Yes you're right" he replied, then they sped up each other's steps.

Upon arriving there, Goidam was surprised to see the place destroyed, blood splattered everywhere, many people who died due to stricken buildings.

"What?!" slowly, he entered the area.

"Be careful, Your Majesty"

"Yes"

He went around every corner and was surprised when he could not find any survivors.

"Why did this happen?" eyes widened.

"It seems only in this area Your Majesty" Gyosana said.

Then he crouched down next to a block of wood and looked at the figure who was standing firmly in front of him.

As he squinted his eyes, the figure drew closer followed by a huge storm behind him. Instead of running, Goidam even flinch in his place. Curiosity had apparently defeated his fear.

Gamiroku stopped a few meters from his father and stopped the storm. He stared at the pendant necklace belonging to the late Queen Asuri that was coiled around Gamiroku's neck.

"You!" he said full of emphasis while remembering the appearance of his first child.

"Who are you? It seems like an important person" Gamiroku asked, he looked at his soldiers who had put up defenses to protect the King.

"Have a lot of calamities destroyed my kingdom! I should have killed you straight away! You only caused disaster for my kingdom!" loud shouting.

"Killed me huh? Who are you?"

"Oh sorry? You don't know me yet, do you? it is natural, because from birth you have no one including a mother! Wh why? Because your mother is a traitor! She is the Queen of Asuri! If you weren't born disabled, then you're already my replacement!" clearly while grinning.

"Dad.." - Gamiroku.

"Don't call me your father! Even I wouldn't be called Dad by you!" chirps.

"What'sthis? Why did my heart hurt so much when I heard that from my own father?" muttering, he sat down limp while holding his chest.
