FULL-FLEDGED
Shaking Memory of the Past
“ So? ” Leticia breaks up the residence of Andra and the others in a modest house at the end of a hill. “ She’s back? ” his gaze probing. Finding out who first realized the return of the figure of Ralin from his past.
“ Feeling lo may be right, Ndra. ” Celine replied. He remembered all the things about Ralin lately. “ Awakened is Ralin not Alin. ”
“ Properties, faces, and instincts that are owned, maybe it is similar to Alin. But Ralin is still Ralin. ” Nathan turned to Andra.
Celine who was sitting on the long sofa in the middle of the house was looking for a difference between Ralin and Alin from the past that she had seen from the memories of Andra.Celine lowered her head.
“ She Ralin with a fragmented memory piece. ” the sentence came out firmly from Andra interrupted by the silence that re-occurred. “ I did feel Alin's presence in her, but he wasn't the same Alin. He's not the Alin I've been waiting for all this time. ”
“ His instincts are strong. A lot of things happened, a lot of memories he had. ” Leticia showed disappointment in the sentence that was thrown. She stood up from her seat on the single chair beside Celine.
“ But until now, I don't know how he was born. ” Leticia furious. He flipped roughly over Andra's body which was behind him. “ Lo sure knows that, right, Andra? ”
“ Leticia, watch lo.” talk Celine is speaking out.
Turning furiously towards Celine, Leticia held back any anger that culminated in her desire.
“ It's not about how she was born, it's about how she met him.
Leticia was bowed to recall the shadow of Ralin's memories she had seen several times. “...The figure of darkness that looms over him can never go from Ralin's current memory.”
Celine and Atlas looked at each other. The suspicious and curious gaze approached the cornered Leticia with the sentence she spoke.
“ Dark figure? Wh who? ”
“ What do you mean?? ” Turn Andra who immediately felt annoyed to hear there was another figure who shadowed Ralin, the figure they were talking about. Leticia pondered for a moment. Considering all the things he's been through the last few months with Ralin.
“ Not the darkness that is in him, but the presence of a figure of darkness that looms over him. ” explained Leticia.
“ Once upon a time I stole the opportunity to look into Ralin's memory. See how his life goes, but there are many things that block his past memories. ”
Leticia wailing.
“ I really miss that figure. For me, Alin or Ralin are the same. He's my brother! ”
Hearing the sentence issued by Leticia, Andra looked down in annoyance as all the pairs of eyes that were in the room turned to her questioningly. There was some regret and sadness in his eyes.There were some events that escaped from his monitor after he had been confined in the eternal ice crystal of Ralin in the past.
“ His departure is still a mystery to me. ” replied Andra to the full gaze asked her friends. “ Either because he has been overrun by that darkness or he is trying to do something about the small village. ”
Watching, Andra reopened her memories to her friends.
“ It all started from the departure of Alin to pick white roses on the edge of the hill near the waterfall.”
Before leaving, Alin's name Ralin in the past had said that the white rose is a symbol of his birth day as a vampire. Once every ten years, Alin plucked a hundred stalks of roses to freeze them with ice crystals. And after ten years, the flowers it freezes will begin to melt and wither. The new flower picked by him is the substitute for the withered rose.
That night the full moon shone very brightly. Alin who left since dusk has not returned to the simple house where Andra and Leticia's sister are waiting. Amidst his anxiety after hearing moans and feeling the darkness raging, Andra in the past rushed to find Alin to the place where the girl plucked the white rose sign of his birth. Amidst the panic as the darkness grew more piercing and turned the moonlight into redness, Andra stopped her march towards the direction
waterfalls.
Stopping at a distance of one kilometer from the intended field of roses, Andra saw a basket and several white roses strewn amidst the pine forest with a stretch of thorny shrubs surrounding her. Meanwhile, the girl who owns the basket is not tracked and is not reached by Andra. Taking and returning all the stems of the white rose in place, Andra resumed her search by following the moaning sound of an old castle at the end of the hill across the waterfall.
He had never gone that far. At the end of the waterfall, he looked across. Where at the end of the hill, visible lightning that struck blindly. The dark clouds and storm winds seemed to be the shield of the old castle. A groan was heard again, and the glint spread and expanded to where it was standing.
At the end of a large cliff a few kilometers from the castle, Andra stood up and prepared to rush into it. He slowed down the pace of time around the old castle that became his destination. Intended to prevent lightning from attacking and grabbing himself while trying to break into it.
Setting foot right in the middle of the main hall of the castle, time still stopped around it. Not an ordinary thing but it was quite good because he had no purpose to mess up. Instead of looking for the figure he expected to be in the old castle. He saw another vampire sitting with a wrathful face on his throne. To his left stood a girl with a sweet face and a petite body wearing a knee-length white dress in her black robe. And on his right side, stood a man who still looks lame. Either he's a pure vampire or he's turned into a vampire by force. Her eyes were radiating darkness and self-control was lost, Andra was sure she had just been born.
Without even bothering about Alin's whereabouts that he feels have moved away from the old castle, Andra serves the new vampire to fight. And the other two figures on the throne smiled enjoying the little spectacle. Several others immediately pulled over at the behest of the man sitting on his throne.
Instead of trying to divert time, Andra always shies away from attacks. Just to make sure and find out that there are other forces blocking his power in the old castle. Andra in the past just keeps stalling.
Andra stopped at her pace at the door of the room. He turned around and stopped the time for everyone in the old castle room. Silent for a moment until his eyes stared at the jelly of one thing he recognized. Until one clap he received from the man sitting on the throne. His power in stopping time had no effect on the man. Now the man rose from the throne and approached him.
///
“ The shield becomes the man's natural strength. And because of that, he was not affected at all with the other powers. ” Andra is back to remembering.
“ You are as special as I am. ” he said happy. His gaze was as if he found the same extraordinary thing within Andra. “ Would you like to join and be a part of our castle? ”
Andra and the man faced each other and just stared. One was emitting darkness and the other was emitting the power of a red full moon light that was shining at its peak.
From behind the darkness in his eyes, the man from the throne looked in awe at his old castle. A high historical value is attached to each castle wall. Every detail of carvings and patterns on the floor and in some parts of the buffer adds to the impression of how old the castle where it stands now. Some priceless objects are also displayed on the tables that fill every corner of the castle. But from all the views he managed to see, a precious little part of the figure he was looking for had been found.
“ I'm not interested. ” replied Andra. “ I'm just here looking for something.” Andra lowered her head and picked up a small necklace made of immortal ice crystals near a wooden table that looked old and cracked. The crack is new. Flipping the shadows of time, Andra finally found out that Alin was no longer in the old castle.
Turning around, he found the figure of the man from the throne already standing before him. Guessing what Andra was looking for, the man smiled stiffly. Flicking his fingers and returning the time shaft within the castle, Andra fell silent.
“ He is no longer here. ” said the man.
Avoiding a fight that might not be able to end, Andra put the necklace into her pants pocket. “ It looks like it is. ” Andra see around.
Some of the men's subordinate castle dwellers were on standby to attack with one small order. Except for the figure of the girl beside the throne who is now whispering and sticking both hands on the new vampire he changed. No doubt a toy doll, the new vampire obeyed every word said by the little girl.
“ I'll go. ” Andra's gaze can not be separated from the doll vampire that he now recognizes his figure as his friend, Nathan.
“ Go. ” the guy smiles.
The man realized very well that he might lose the fight with the figure of Andra because the light of the red full moon that became the source of Andra's strength was shining at its peak. And he himself had weakened from issuing his anger unexpectedly he would have another guest who looked so special other than Alin.
“ I appreciate the natural talent you have. I wish we could meet again at a different time. ” Andra repeats the sentence that the old castle resident vampire threw to his friends including Leticia who had just heard a piece of the story behind the dark figure he saw in Ralin's memory.
In another memory, Leticia reconnects Andra's story from what she knows.
“ Right on the night of the full moon that was starting to reach its peak, Alin came by holding a five-year-old boy. The boy's body and mine are not much different. ” Leticia staring at Andra.
“ Sister. ” welcome little Leticia while letting her brother lay the boy on the front porch.
“ Please help me? ” Alin the older sister gently caressed little Leticia's cheeks.
Asking himself to recover the power of the boy Alin laid down. Leticia placed her tiny fingers on the boy's shoulder. Just a blink of an eye. Leticia was trying to get away from the pulse she might be able to feel.
“ Who is this kid, brother? ”
Haven't heard the answer, Leticia recalled her childhood, where the figure of Andra was standing in the front yard of the house with a basket of white roses belonging to her brother. Andra's dreamy residence stared at the elder sister, making little Leticia moody and enter the room.
“ Right at midnight after locking the child's memory, Alin and I returned him to the village where he lived. Leaving the boy asleep in front of the door of the house of one of the villagers who was ultimately destroyed either by the inhabitants of the old castle or...
Andra was fixated on looking across the hill far from where he was standing now. Where the dark clouds, storms and lightning are being struck as if to be a shield from the end of the hill.
Passed.
