They both begin to undergo a maturation ceremony, where Kusuma must pass a series of exams and rituals to prove his readiness in living his new life. During the ceremony, Kusuma mused about everything he had learned from his mother, about the adventures and challenges he had faced, and about the destiny that had brought him into this world.
After the maturation ceremony was over, Kusuma felt stronger, wiser, and ready to take the journey forward with gusto. Kusuma's mother smiled proudly at her son who had grown into an extraordinary young man.
"Kusuma, it's time to part ways. Remember, I will always be there for you" said his mother in a soulful voice
"I know, Mother."
Suddenly the Crystal began to break into dust and its energy began to enter the body of the cat-eared girl. They were a little surprised, but it was only for a moment. He understood, his mother was the scales chosen to protect the Crystal who had no idea what it was.
"Mom has to go. Take good care of yourself, my son."
"Mother too, take good care of yourself there."
Instantly, the portal formation just below the girl pulled her mother's body down like a living mud, and it was quick.
After all, they were separated by fate for the second time. Kusuma let out a little sigh and with the cat bell around his neck, Kusuma could feel his mother's condition.
ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ
Kusuma now sped at high speed, passing through the wilderness until he broke through the gate of Kardia, which was still open without being caught by the guards because the combination of new strength and his ability to sneak was so perfect to know.
Quickly, he arrived at his residence that looked that simple. He stepped out his legs as usual, with an old smile now re-rising at the corner of his lips. Slowly, he started knocking on the door, then started to enter it. Once in the living room, it looks there so crowded there are guests.
"I'm home!"
Everyone was very surprised when they saw that Kusuma who had been missing for 2 years was now in front of them. Seeing this naturally left them all astonished, and not a few of them felt disbelief in what they saw.
The next day, Kusuma was cross-legged in his room, meditating. He was indeed unable to fall asleep so he made him meditate for a moment for his cultivation.The spiritual energy in his room was too thin that Kusuma only practiced controlling the energy on himself.
The sun value entered the room and the sound of crowing chickens woke Kusuma from his meditation, then the 16-year-old man started to get off his bed and immediately went to the dining room. There, his two brothers had gathered, and strangely all his friends had also participated. Her brother's face looked very moody and depressed, just like he was 2 years ago.
"What's going on?"
"Kusuma, you want to come with us to the capital? The school has now taken a day off because there is a celebration in the capital and we are all about to leave together."
Kusuma was silent for a moment and then started to look at her brother, ignoring the question from Shara for a moment. "What happened to me, brother?"
Everyone immediately looked at him, then turned to look at Jack. Jack just shook his head weakly. Kusuma felt a little strange about her brother's behavior, but did not want to ask further. He believed that the truth would reveal itself.
In the afternoon, they all boarded the Airship that was brought from the Capital to pick up the visitors who were about to come to the City Mother.Show some people both from ordinary families and respectable families entered the large ship. Kusuma still looked at his brother with curiosity, then looked at his younger sister who was still the same as before, seeming to hate him.
The night had come, They had arrived at the capital. Soon they headed to an empty inn. Kusuma hoped that everything that had made his snapper moody was soon revealed. Now he was busy lying on a branch of wood on a tree that was high enough, then slept there without any movement that could make him fall from there.
In her peaceful sleep, Kusuma entered a dreamland filled with feelings of anxiety and mystery. In the dream, he was in the middle of a dark and fuzzy forest. There was an invisible presence nearby, something that felt extremely powerful and dangerous. Kusuma felt himself trapped and unable to move.
Suddenly, in his dream, a mysterious figure appeared before him. The figure had eyes that emitted a strong blue light and his mysterious smile.
"Kusuma, you've returned."
Kusuma felt that there was something unusual in this dream, something related to the strange events that happened to his previous dream.
"Who are you?"
"I am the soul of the Crystal Orb, and you are the son of my protector. It's time for you to know the truth."
Kusuma frowned, not believing enough in what he said, but he felt it would be nice to listen to what he said.
"I've messed up your dreams and destiny in such a way as to keep my mother in the Spirit of her life, and now I'm coming to you because I want you to stay fine."
"What did you say? Of course I'll take care of myself."
"But now I'm not going to mess with destiny anymore. Your destiny is complicated, Kusuma. There are alarming dangers waiting for you, so strengthen yourself. Don't worry, I will always keep your mother here, while you who are now without protection, should be able to take care of yourself. I don't want your mother to lose her spirit."
Kusuma was silent for a moment when he heard it, but suddenly out of nowhere came a blinding light that scattered the view. Kusuma opened his eyes for a moment, feeling that something was wrong about what had just happened.
"Hey, why are you sleeping on a tree branch? Aren't you afraid of falling?"
Kusuma was wide-eyed for a moment, then immediately to change his position from lying down to a sitting position. There were two girls dressed in luxurious batik and surrounded by some people who seemed to be bodyguards, which meant that they were both definitely from famous noble families.
Kusuma immediately frowned, then with a single stomp on his hand, Kusuma had fallen down at a normal speed, but before touching the ground, he showed an ability that resembled his mother's, where suddenly his body seemed to float, until it was seen his feet did not touch the ground.
The two noble girls were amazed by what Kusuma showed. Slowly, Kusuma's feet finally stepped on the ground cautiously, while looking at the two girls with astonished gazes.
"What did you two say, just now?"
The noble girls were still dumbfounded by Kusuma's incredible action earlier. At once, there were only 6 people capable of such a feat, and it was not as great and perfect as that either.
"We just want to know why you sleep in a tree like that and why don't you just choose to rest in an inn?"
"Oh, that's just my way of resting. Sometimes, the outdoors is the best place for me to sleep."
