Grizzled
Episode 18's
“I'm sorry .. I'm sorry, it shouldn't be like this ..”
“This is not your fault,” Sakti said again appeared along with the rising of dawn. I shook off the hand that touched my shoulder. No need, I don't need to be comforted with nonsense anymore, it will be even more painful at the end like this one.
“Really this is not your fault, what happened was not what you think,” Sakti said again. I tried desperately to hold back my sobs knowing the Eagle was slowly starting to turn back to normal. The large muscles in his arms shrank, as well as his characteristic grayish-brown skin of the monster slowly peeling off on its own.
“Eagle transformation that just happened is not because he will be a monster forever,” Sakti said, “I was also surprised to meet this phenomenon for the first time. The sword embedded in the Eagle's back, I'm sure it's not just a sword or an ordinary weapon, it's the thing that induces the massive power and energy of those monsters, making the Eagle have the same power, he said, even bigger. It turned out that the thing was much more useful after merging with the Eagle.”
I was silent to hear Sakti's words. Can I trust him?
“You must trust Sakti, Shir,” replied the Eagle a hundred percent has recovered, “with your current condition, it is much better than trusting your increasingly volatile feelings and emotions.”
I would love to smite the Eagle over his disrespectful opinion, but what he said was indeed true. Lately I have been whiny and emotional. Uh, wait, did the Eagle just understand my thoughts?
“Looks like yes, Eagle can also induce my power as well. He can do the magic I can do,” Sakti replied. I can't believe it. The sword embedded in the Eagle's back made him even more powerful.
“From the beginning I have admired the greatness of the sword and was grateful that the weapon was paired with the right person. I'm sure something great will happen,” muttered Sakti.
“Something great how?” my many.
“Something great I won't tell you, for it to really happen,” Sakti replied smiling full of mystery. I still keep quiet not understanding.
“Leaking events that will happen in the future can result in canceling them, we should not need to know, Shir,” replied the Eagle.
“That's because you guessed the event I was referring to was a good event,” reply Sakti.
“And my guess is correct,” said Eagle. Again Sakti only replied with a smile. Wait-wait! So this is what it's like to be a fool who can't get involved in the conversation and just second-guess what's being talked about? Telepathy technique sucks — 'cause I'm the only one not mastering it.
“Already, there is no need to envy so, my inductive effect slowly begins to vanish, I do not feel any energy anymore,” said Eagle.
“But ... but are you okay?” my many.
“No, I am still very surprised to experience the incident earlier,” replied Eagle, “and very surprised to know that you do have tears for me.”
Then an unusual outburst of emotion just broke out inside me.
“Gosh! Geez, you pathetic people still think I'm crying you! Please never believe that I am willing to shed tears just for fear of losing you! Never was! That will never happen!” my tirade is long. Ah, how confident this one creature is!
“The more evasive the more visible,” replied the Eagle indifferently.
“It's okay, Eagle. Besides being able to read minds and predict the future, I can also see something that is not recognized,” Sakti replied.
“I don't care, Sakti. What does recognition mean?”
“Sakti, whose side are you on?! It's so weird to see you two agree to this, so please stop playing me!” angry protests. The eagle with his annoying face tried desperately to hold back the laughter.
“You two have always been fun, I hope the three of us will spend a lot longer, but now it's my turn to enter the monster phase,”.
“Oh, means we have to split up first,” replied Eagle.
“Yes, but you two try to always be together, so that when returning to the human phase I have no trouble finding you,” Sakti replied.
“Yes, we understand,” I replied.
“Then, quickly leave me in this place, if you are lucky, you can meet Sekti and discuss the way out,” Sakti said.
Oh, true! Sections!
“Alright, then, see you, Sakti,” said Eagle. I just tailed behind him after waving my hand to Sakti.
The daytime sky outside the gray room is full of gloomy effects. Coupled with the presence of fog that completely limits visibility. Instantly I did not dare to go any further because I did not even find the Eagle that had just walked one step ahead of me. This fog seemed to swallow it, or swallow me who now could not see anything, making me blind.
“Lang? Which side are you on?” I was flailing about the white fog around me.
“Here,” answers that sound not far away. Damnit damnit! This incident was exactly the same as a moment ago when it was suddenly dark in the room.
“Where?” manya panic. I felt him pull my hand and I realized that we were not too far apart.
“Aside here!” the answer. This time he only saw his figure among the dense gray fog. “How can you know my position while I'm not? It was in a dark room too!” grumbling.
“Because I'm an Eagle,” the answer is relaxed. I snorted as bad as hell.
“I think you already know how much sharper and observant eagle eyes are than others. You should not be surprised how I can do it,” replied the Eagle was impressed with his arrogance.
“Oh, so. If so you should also have seen the figure of Sekti among this fog,” I replied.
“Do you just want to challenge me?”
“No, Lang, I seriously want to tell you that Sekti is there, watching us,” I replied pointing towards the pair of cold marble eyes lurking. Then Sekti moved, melting with the fog.
“No, he is not there,” replied the Eagle.
“No, Lang! Sekti run away because we realize he has been in love, he went to a row of back buildings, on the second floor,”.
“Shira, don't go there!” shouted Eagle. However, I had already taken a step and disappeared into the fog.

Misty dreams, my morning was in the fog. I don't want to discuss the incident when I almost found Sekti, not now. Just imagine when the first hour there will be a presentation and Rehan forgot to print the material. As a result I ran along the corridor, hurriedly towards the OSIS room. I know the printer there can be used as long as it is for the benefit of the school.
Thank goodness today I came half an hour early, as if my gut whispered something was going to happen, and well, sure enough. I also arrived at the back end of the room with a plaque reading OSIS Room hanging above the door, swinging almost loose. The wooden door in front of me was locked. Ah, it's over! I pressed the door again and pushed, this time open. Maybe the door of the oldest building in this school was a little problematic.
I walked in, said excuse me. The smell of damp and dim atmosphere inside was quiet. The tube computer in the back corner of the room was on, still in the boot process. That means this computer just turned on and someone just got in this room.
“There can I help you with, Son?”
That hoarse voice reprimanded just like that made me gasp in shock. I hurriedly turned around, finding that one of the female staff, Miss Lasmi, had been standing behind me.
“Eh, anu, I ask permission to use the printer, there is material that needs to be printed,”. Once or twice his eyes blinked behind those thick minus glasses, as if processing my sentence, then answered a few seconds later. That became the hallmark of a Miss Lasmi who has been known throughout the school.
“You can use,” Miss Lasmi replied briefly, expressionlessly as usual, then headed behind the curtain in another corner of this room.
“Thank you, Mom!” I immediately operated the computer. Miss Lasmi did not answer anything anymore because it looks so busy moving things.
“I've moved it, Mom! Anything else I can help you with?” ask someone new to come.
“Thank you, for a while just that first. These large pieces of furniture are impossible for you to lift alone. You better go back to class,” replied Miss Lasmi.
“Oh, fine, Mom! If my energy is needed at any time, I will always be ready.”
“Yes, thank you, Eagle,” replied Miss Lasmi then back to clean behind the curtain.
Ah, from the beginning I did recognize that Eagle's voice but I didn't care what he did in this place. Something more worrying makes me panic.
“Hey, you? What are you doing with that broken printer?” ask the Eagle at the end.
“Before a while, don't take a fuss first! Eh? Whatdidyou say? This printer is broken?” my many. At least my panic subsided a little. I had absolutely no idea when the printouts of my papers were a mess like this. The ink is overflowing in some parts, some sheets are printed striped, the more backward the fading. I'm so confused.
“It's been a long time the printer here is broken. Besides what's so urgent to print this early in the morning?”
“Material for presentation, Lang. First hour. Rehan forgot to print it,” I replied trying to hold the tone.
“Eh? Maybe he just fucked you. Last night he asked me to print papers for your group,” replied the Eagle. For a moment, I was silent for a while, subconsciously imitating the style of Miss Lasmi who was slow to digest the words of others. Oho! So it means ....
“So you mean, actually the papers for my group have already been printed and are on you?!”
“There is in the bag,” replied Eagles relaxed. Puh, I let out a pissed breath. If you know this, I don't have to panic.
“The two of you, before leaving this room close the door, no need to lock. Oh yes, the computer also does not need to be turned off, soon still needed, understand?” said Ms. Lasmi.
“Good, Mom. My business is done too. We say goodbye, Mom, thank you!” I replied retreating followed by the Eagle. He said that the OSIS room was moved to a newly built building while the old room was converted into a warehouse. Apparently the Eagle had been helping Miss Lasmi move some things since this morning.
“What are you planning?” ask me to respond to the story of the Eagle.
“EEh??”
“What are you planning, Lang? You obviously have no business with OSIS. What makes you bother to help Miss Lasmi like that?” my question is clearer. My question was answered with a cold snort.
“Aduh, if you only realize it, let alone Miss Lasmi herself,” muttered Eagle.
“Of course, your actions are so conspicuous. Tell me what's your plan? However you must not act alone,” I replied. Right after that the bell rang. The two of us were stopped before arriving at the class because the Eagle received a call from someone while I was still waiting for an answer.
“Lang? What's up?”
“Pak Hanri suddenly asked the order control team for a lightning meeting. I'm going to BK's first. Uh, your paper is in my bag, in the map, the cost of printing and the volume is fifteen thousand,” replied the Eagle so hastily.
“Okay, Lang! I didn't ask about that! About your plan how? What exactly was that?”
“The story is long, Shir. The point is I found a lot of clues since I was able to read the script in that ancient book and I was figuring out a lot of things.”
“Haah?! Can you read it?! Since when?!”
“Since ... Since ... Ah, we'll talk about it later, Shir! I'm in a hurry, bye!” the eagle could not be held back. I bit my lips in anger. Can't that guy stop hanging the answers I need? It sucks! Always was.
.Seriate.
