Eternal Island

Outside of Reason

In the afternoon, Leon knocks on Franky's door.

"What's up, Le?" franky asked after opening the door to his room.

"Let's go to Bima's house."

"Come on Le."

Franky and Leon get out of the house, they walk towards the house of Pak Bima, which is located in front of their rental house.

Just a few steps walk, Franky was surprised, because the house of Pak Bima was never seen, and they were both now in an empty and quiet garden.

"Where's the house, Le?"

"Lho, it should be here, we met him here yesterday."

"Yes, Le, but why isn't there a house?"

Franky kept going again, the more he walked the more he found nothing, and then Franky returned to the place where Leon stood.

"There's nothing, Le."

"What happened, Fran?"

"We're going home now, Le, I don't feel very good."

"I'm sorry, Fran."

"I'm sorry, Le, what's wrong with you?"

"Because of me, your money's not coming back" Leon looked down sluggishly.

"Geez, Le, no need to think about money, the important thing is that we can go home safely, I feel like this place is not right."

"But, Fran, the money you made to pay the rent for the house is not small."

"Le, I don't have to think about money, I still have a sizable chimpanzee, not that I'm arrogant, but the money from writing novels for years, I collect, because I don't have a wife, I don't have a wife, so the money's whole."

"But I don't feel good about you, because I brought you here, you lost your money."

"Le, already, if it's just money, I'm still there, already, you don't blame yourself, let's now go home.

Franky and Leon walk back to their rented house.

Again they were shocked by senseless events.

In front of them, which was originally a rental house they occupied, has now vanished and turned into an empty yard, only a car belonging to Franky alone, is left.

"Lho, how's the rental house gone, Le?"

"Yes, Fran, this doesn't really make sense."

"Yes Le, let's just say we're unlucky, let's just get in the car, keep going home."

"But our clothes, Fran?"

"Already, Le, just clothes, can buy again."

Franky and Leon got into the car limply.

In the car, Leon is shocked, as he sees two suitcases of his, and Franky's, lying in the middle seat of the car.

"Lho, Fran, is this our suitcase?"

Franky looked in the direction he was referring to.

"Lho, yes Le, how strange yes, yes we yuk yuk yuk just pull it now, can be crazy I've been in this place for a long time."

"Yes already, Fran, let's goo!"

Franky's driving his car, heading down the big road.

When Franky passed by a food stall, which they had stopped by this afternoon, it flashed through Franky's mind to return to stop by.

"Le, wasn't that the food stall that was at noon?"

"Yes, Fran, why? Are you hungry again?"

"We stopped by for a minute, you don't mind, do you?"

"Well, it doesn't matter, Fran, I happen to be hungry, too."

The two men got out of the car, and entered the food stall

"Eh, you guys again, come on please, what to eat, take it yourself."

Franky took a plate, and filled it with a little rice and side dishes, actually he did not feel hungry, just that he wanted to extract information from the owner of the food stall.

While Leon who felt hungry, filled his plate with rice and side dishes to taste.

They both sat down and enjoyed the meal.

"Yes, I asked what?"

What is the illusion valley?"

The shop owner's mother was wide-eyed, then she fell silent.

"Mom? call Franky.

"Eh yes, my mother?"

"Please answer my question honestly, this is very important to me, because I've been made strange in this place" said Franky.

After being silent for a long time, the shop owner's mother finally opened her mouth.

"Look, actually the valley of illusion you mean it's a Ghost's nest, it's a haunted place, and no human lives there" she explained.

"Ohuk...." Leon choked on hearing the mother's story.

"You mean, in the valley there are no inhabitants?" ask Leon to make sure.

The mother nodded slowly.

Franky and Leon looked at each other.

"But yesterday I met my fathers, and I rented his house, and he was like a normal human being" Leon said."

"Betul ma'am, last night I also met a woman who sells bread, she is also like a human in general really," continued Franky.

"You are only exposed to the illusory study of the soul" said the mother.

"The soul illusion?" franky and Leon said at the same time.

"Failure, someone who is exposed to the study of the illusion of the soul, he will experience things that are contrary to the truth" said the mother.

Franky and Leon frowned, they still did not understand the words of the shop owner's mother.

"I'm sorry, you mean what?" ask Leon carefully.

"So, actually the inhabitants of the illusion valley are the subtle creatures aka the deceased humans, because their spirits have not been received, so they roam in that place like ordinary humans, they hung out with the ordinary humans who came to the place to mislead the humans," the mother explained in detail.

Franky was getting confused.

"After all, you don't go back there again, it's dangerous that you can't get off the island" the mother said.

Franky and Leon frowned, they still did not understand the words of the shop owner's mother.

"Is that true? means Mr Bima is a ghost?" ask Leon curious.

"Huh? so you guys met Bima sir?" ask the mother full of questions.

"Yes ma'am, who is he? Isn't he human as we are?" ask Franky.

"You're wrong, he's also one of the ghosts, in that valley of illusion" the mother said.

"What do you mean, we don't understand" Leon said.

"Yes ma'am, please tell me the truth, what's wrong with the valley?" keep Franky.

Yes ma'am, come on, I'm very curious about the place, because it seems, the place is full of mystery" Leon chimed in.

Franky persuaded the mother to tell him about the mystery in the valley of illusion.

The mother started to tell stories...

"Look, once upon a time, in that valley of illusion, there was a beautiful hamlet, where the inhabitants lived in harmony and peace, and it was a time of war, and it was a time of war, the villagers on the island have a big enemy from China, one day, rumors that the enemy from China wants to come to the hamlet, they want to invite war, while pitting force.

And the villagers actually do not like war, finally one of the residents met the most feared and reluctant people in the hamlet, it is said, the person is a powerful person mandra use, he said, he has a high level of knowledge and has no equal.

One of them is the science of climate studies.

This test is a study that serves to trick the eyesight of the opponent, so as not to see ourselves clearly.

One of the villagers asked the saint to make the villagers invisible in the eyes of their great enemy.

Finally, after deliberating, the magician mustered all his knowledge to make the people in the hamlet invisible to their enemies.

However, after the magician managed to make them invisible, the unexpected happened.

The body of the saint became weak, and at that time the saint died on the spot.

The villagers were confused, they did not know who to ask for help to restore their existence.

Finally because they were never seen by other residents, they became one by one Gods and Goddesses, who inhabited the hamlet."
