Cursed Spell

I immediately rushed to Athar who was screaming in pain. His voice was so loud in all directions. It was as if it was echoing within the passageway of the ground. “Athar!” I shouted, but Knox immediately restrained me with his black smoke, tying me tight to the ground.

Knox turned back to face the god, then there was a whisper from him as if he were casting a spell. The more smoke comes out of there. I heard Knox chuckling too. “You are no longer needed in this world, Malka. Your job is done. Now it's time for me to thank you.”

Suddenly something happened so fast. I saw a person who appeared behind Knox with a blade in his hand, but Knox immediately took out his power and brought him to where Athar was. I was surprised to see the person behind it.

“Leora!”

A lot of people say the same to me. Two voices were heard in front of us.

“Jackpot! We got the biggest prize here!” knox shouted as he spread his hand. The whole team cheered him.

“T—Not possible..” muttered Eil.

“What do you mean?” my line was hard on Knox's face.

“You will see it. And this, the change,” answered Knox and then returned Athar to us. “What does all this mean?” alya asked in surprise. Athar who rested on the ground was already helpless.

“Hold, I we will recover you,” Stella said. Lena, along with her staff, tried to recover Athar. A green light came out from his staff and surrounded Athar. While I'm still constrained by this shitty smoke.

“Let go of me!”

“Relax, I just want you to watch it quietly,” Knox replied.

“Aaaaa!” shouted Leora.

Then Knox walked back and forth while folding his hands, then said casually, “You must be confused what happened? Cliche once if I explain everything that happened. But it's okay, I already know what's going to happen to all of you. A little leak seems exciting.”

“Stop bullshit!” my reply.

“Malka, when did you meet this girl in front of you? How did you meet him?” ask Knox.

“I don't have to answer you!” shanka.

“Quiet... Quiet, Malka. Everything I do here is for the good. The goodness of the earth, the universe, and can be useful to anyone. Including my previous question. I just want to explain it to you. Why are you so stubborn?”

“You know nothing about this all!” lontark.

“I? Don't know anything about this? Hahaha..What do you know about all this? About sky? The sky would collapse if it were absorbed continuously. That's what you want to say, isn't it?”

“If that was true, what would you do?” my reply.

“Of course I'm not here right now. But now that I'm here, that means it's not true, is it? All the fairy tales and imagination of the people as a way to teach about the environment. Do you have any clear evidence that the sky is about to collapse?”

I was silent to hear his question. Don't know what I'm gonna answer. Knox approached me with a smile, “You don't know, don't you, the honorable Former Head of the Sky and Space Technology Research Division?”

“T—Of course I have proof! Research Tower, many research results about the sky are written there, including the potential of the sky collapsing,” I replied.

“Hemm. Means I have a special surprise for you,” replies Knox then throws a document in front of me. Surprised myself to see the title written, “Uji Sky” Energy Instability Impact Simulation. Then it is also written subtitle “Heavenly Energy Conservation and Conversion”.

“Cannot be! Then, why did the plant wither after that energy was absorbed?” my exposition. “Way doesn't mean dead, does it? Did you check it again the next day?” ask Knox. I went back to silence.

“J—So... During this time..” my mummy vibrates.

“You're so naive, Malka. You've worked with me for years, but you don't really understand our common goal. Your mind is just spinning about the sky you are glorifying it.”

Knox continued his words again, bringing his face closer to mine.

“You want to know all the answers about the sky, don't you? Did you get it?”

As soon as my gaze was empty, my body fell silent, and my head was full of curiosity that had been haunting me all along.

“But..”.

Knox smiled, his voice softly and gently blowing from his mouth, “Do you want to know the answer with us?” Knox extended his hand to me. A little bit of my body was moved and my hand was raised, grabbing her hand.

“Stop, Malka! It was all just her manipulation!” shout Eil.

“Malka don't listen to that damned man!” alya.

Knox and I walked slowly. He led me while holding hands. A lot of questions were floating in my view. “Now I will ask again. How did you meet Leora?” knox.

“Aduh!”

“A—Are you okay?”

“Y—Ya just scratched a little, but it will all improve.”

“You must be careful. Don't be in a hurry.”

“Sorry, I'm too excited.”

“No need to apologize, the important thing is you've been better.”

“Who are you?” many wonder.

“Leora. My name is Leora Seraphia. You can call me Leora. Greetings!”

“Malka. Malka Syahnivir.”

“It's nice to meet you. Here, eat. With this you will improve.”

“You sell this?”

“Iya. Riunbreads. Symbol reunion.”

“Reunion?”

“Iya.”

~

“I..”

“I suddenly met him, suddenly also he disappeared..” I replied slowly.

~

“Malka! Don't listen to him! Malka!”

“Malka! Be aware!

~

“Alright, now give me one proper word for Leora,” Knox said.

“Misterius.”

“No, Leora! Malka! Aware!” alya shouted in panic, while I was just speechless with an empty padangan. Alya shouted again calling my name very loud and long.

“Malka..!”

~

“Hmph..

“What are you doing here?”

“I am here almost every day. Why are you here?”

“I'm looking for a book.”

“Book on what? The heavens? If that's what you're looking for, it looks like the wrong closet.”.

“How did you know? I haven't told you before.”

“Usually..the people here are none other than and not to find out about that sky. The library mom said I was. No one gets what they are looking for. Because the book was placed in a place that not everyone knows.”

“Mari... Follow me.”

“Wah, a lot of books here.”

“This, take.”

“It's just a fiction book. You believe?”

“Maybe you should have opened the last page before asking me.”

~

I opened my eyes that had been closed all this time. I just realized that. But I really only realized that I was currently in the middle of a shallow stretch of water so that it reflected the sky like a mirror. This atmosphere is familiar to me. A beautiful girl who was no stranger to me.

“Alya?”

The girl moved her lips and then said.

“Save us..”.

“Save us from that demon..”

“Avadananthe Risidious.”

~

My eyes are back dark. The sound of someone's moaning was very loud. A lot of people call my name.

“Malka? Finally you realize,” said Alya whose face filled my view.

“A—Alya? D—Where am I?”

“How can Alya do like that?” I heard Gras question who was asking who.

“We are dealing with Knox,” Alya replied. I immediately thought back to everything that happened. Including my dream just now. I woke up and panicked. People are amazed by my attitude.

“What's up, Malka? Do you know anything?” ask Alya.

“What has Knox said?” my reply.

“Say what?” alya.

“No! Leora!” shout Athar.

“Hahaha! Do you know the answer, Malka?” knox.

“Do not…! Nah! Stop!” my yelling.

Knox raised both hands face up, then opened his mouth wide.

“Avadananthe Risidious!”

I didn't suspect it. All this time, that's what the figure wanted to tell me. But what should I do? What do I have to do to fix all this? Just screaming all I can do now.

“Takkkk...!”

Leora shouted very loudly, rumbling the sky with her voice. A red liquid flowed from his mouth that could no longer endure the pain.

“Aaaaa..!”

The black smoke obliterated Leora.

“Leora...” lirihku.

“Hahaha! This is what I've been waiting for. I can feel it now. Hahaha!” harry laughed as he clenched his two hands covered with the black puff. “Arghh!” throw himself while developing his body. A strong wind blew from his body in all directions.

Knox felt so happy that the waves did not stop. Harry flew with the power that enveloped him. He lifted his father before him. “Thank you, Dad. Thanks to Dad, I can get what I want—not—we want.”

“My son, now no one can match you now.”

“True, Dad. Right. Now I'm invincible. No one can beat me! Now I don't need anyone anymore. Everyone needs me now.”

“What are you saying, son? There's something we haven't done yet. Let's finish it together.”

“No, Dad. Now I can do whatever I want. Whatever...” Harry opened his palm, then gripped it back. It was at that moment that all of Knox's troops died with irregular bodies. Instantly this place became a sea of blood.

“What are you doing, Harry? Why are you doing this?” asked Knox in surprise.

“Shut up! Dad can't do anything now. I am the ruler of the universe!”

“Why did you become like this? I don't want you like this..”.

“Silence, Father! You're always noisy! Now, feel this!”

“Bleeerrkk!”

Suddenly Knox's body fared just like his army. The irregular pieces fell down and scattered onto the ground. Harry went down to the ground, then picked up a piece of it and bit and chewed it.

“One bit. It fits with that savage you.”

I was in shock. My face was shaking unable to do what had happened. I stood up straight, but my body felt weak.

“T—Not possible..”
