Grizzled
#S2 Episode 30
The three of us were stunned to see the scattering of black beads from Kak Garuda's talisman necklace left behind while the wearer disappeared out of nowhere. How did we not realize it? I just turned away for a while after Luska came and Kak Garuda disappeared without us knowing.
“Aquila ... If Kak Garuda does not wear this talisman ..”
“He is fully possessed by Lupus,” replied Aquila. A line of anxiety cannot be hidden by the Eagle.
“And judging by the way it disappeared, it was a special technique of the demons. Lupus is completely in control of Garuda's soul and body for now.”
Aquila's words just swirled around in my head, I mean slowly. Full control he said?
“Alright, until when will we be surprised like this? If anything can be done, please do not delay!” said Eagle.
“Lupus should be found quickly and the sealing ritual should be performed immediately before sunset. When passing from it ... We will not recognize Garuda as Garuda again ..”.
“Sunset? Just be right! That's just a few hours away! Where do we know Lupus is at this time?!” said Eagle ruffled his hair irritated.
“I know ... Now he must have been in the place of his ally, Griseo,” Luska replied.
“That place is a prison with an entrance access seal that can only be opened by the blood of Alba nobles. How did he get in?” aquila Sahut.
“Well, there may be interference of the Head of the Board. The giant portal project seems to have started since the last few days,” replied Luska.
“Fucking old man!”
“That place for the time being only allowed access in, but if Griseo or Lupus hit his protective seal to get out, the island would sink into the tidal wave. Both of them actually even locked in that place!”
“That sounds good! Don't make it bad by coming late,” said the Eagle hurriedly left. The three of us followed him immediately.
Paxii rides Aquila when heading here with Kak Garuda this time used with Eagle. Brother Garuda did not seem to think much and wanted to leave quickly. I haven't had time to say that I want one ride with Aquila and their paxii to fly. The consequences were so annoying, I had to ride with Luska with her golden paxii.
“Mari, Your Majesty!” said the man let me go up first. Really, I still want to beat him up to this second over all his deceit. A moment later he realized my sinister gaze.
“Ah, true ... Your Majesty is still upset, isn't he? But the remaining time will be very futile if only to glare at me,” he said again.
“Why are you suddenly on my side?” I was worried, “when you planned another more fatal hoax ...”
“What I planned was to break free from the curse ..” Luska said looking at me regretfully, “with no secret of the invasion plan from His Majesty, by helping His Majesty return to Nigra, by assisting in the realization of the sealing ritual and preventing the occurrence of disasters, by withdrawing from the wrong lust of power ... I think that's how I can survive the curse.”
My angry look still cannot be lost. Clucked slowly and immediately boarded the paxii, I already did not want to hear the chatter again. Luska also went up afterwards, sitting behind me. When I thought he should have pulled the bridle immediately, his hands were around my waist and something was leaning on the top of my head. I can't see it, but I can think of a warm breath through the strands of hair.
“I would also like to apologize, Your Honor .. no matter how much you have not been able to forgive,” whispered Luska, “please don't hate the whole Alba just because one or two jerks hurt His Majesty. There must have been many people who felt lost after our queen left ..”
“Stop talking that shit! We're already far behind Aquila and the Eagle!” my answer is not tasteful. Luska could be heard sighing briefly then pulling the bridle, ordering this beast to fly.

“Heh! You two have been a long time!” said the Eagle shortly after my mount and Luska landed on the shore. The sun was falling when we got here. The terminator line, the day and night boundary must be crossing this place right now.
“You haven't found Griseo and Lupus?” ask Luska.
“We have not dared to move closer to the underground cave where Griseo is because we do not know the procedure of sealing ritual,” Aquila replied.
“Oh ... It's almost the same as activating an interdimensional portal. The Great Knight needed to stick his sword at the midpoint of this island. As long as the sun had not sunk and the two possessors of the power to be sealed were on this island, the sword would suck the strength of both of them, creating a large portal that opens for a few minutes before finally closing and will not open again until anytime,” explained Luska.
“May it be as easy as it sounds,” replied the Eagle.
“Where is the central point of this island?” ask, “don't-don't in the cave where Griseo himself?”
“Then our obstacles are just those two demons. Chances are they won't let the Great Knights reach their place,” Aquila said.
“Four versus two, we can be a little optimistic ‘kan?” reply Eagle.
“Magic Griseo has vanished. What to look out for is Lupus. He can freely attack, while we must be careful not to hurt Garuda's body,” said Luska.
“Alright, I understand,” said the Eagle raised his hand above his head, making a gesture as if plucking that crystal sword from his back. Dots of light slowly gathered in the Eagle's hand, forming a solid formation of a sword with that admirable luster. He again swung his hand forward after the sword was intact in his grasp.
With high vigilance we move towards the middle of the island with the land declining. I remember the explanation that the Griseo cave is lower than sea level. What should have been visible from where we were standing was that the mouth of the cave was as wide as the garage door, it should only be that wide. In fact a much larger hole gaping, let's just say the griseo cave is now completely blown off the roof into some kind of wide basin in the middle of the island.
“The land around that chunk of silver rock is the center of this island, the Great Knight. Your sword must be plugged in there,” said Luska.
“True, we have even bothered to dismantle the mouth of the cave to be that wide so that you can easily reach it,” said a voice from behind that made us look at it together. My eyes were perfectly rounded to see the face of the figure I knew so well that it now had the same asphalt spill stains as Labe or Griseo, as well as a pair of horns sticking out of his head. The fangs at the corners of his lips perfected the horrifying impression of the rising grin .. and the eyes that always gave off that shady impression were now so unfamiliar that they resembled wolf eyes. Also her voice ... Although it was a bit hoarse and strangely pitched, it was still Kak Garuda's voice. He stood there, a few steps away from us with Lupus in control of his entire situation.
“Abang ...”
For a moment the cruel expression vanished into shock due to the sound of the Eagle.
“Ang ... Yes, this is Brother ... Long time no hear you calling me that ..” said the figure across there.
“BUT BOHOOONG!!! HAHAHAHA! You want to hear this rancid boy say that? Late, bodoooh! Your brother is mine! Ahahaha! Brother Lupus, call me that now! Hahahaha!”
Unfinished we picked up the pieces of heart that were scattered after being crushed by the words of Lupus, another demon seen at the top of a leafless dry tree branch, both staring at us with satisfied grin.
“Alright, since everything has gathered, let's start the sealing ritual!” said the figure I recognized as Griseo, thrusting himself into the air high. The glint of light in the sky grew brighter as its position continued to rise until finally the lightning strike in the clean sky whipped the air.
“Tadaaaa!”
“Why?! Why did he accidentally hit the lock seal of this island?!” luska.
“Sial! We're eating their trap! The tidal wave is heading here! The island is about to sink!” aquila looked at the horror around.
“Griseooo! Why are you in such a hurry?!”
I didn't get to hear Lupus protest because the wind was getting stronger. Something moved from the horizon line, besieging us from all directions, rolling into ripples when making out with coastal sand, spilling waves of water. All I could think of in my head was stretching my hands to the two sides I could. If I had a lot of hands, I wanted to put them in all directions, but in the meantime with only two hands, the water's siege was able to contain my strength. As if there were invisible walls, we were surrounded by cliffs of water that continued to wriggle can not be silent.
“Wah, wow, can too! Let's see how long His Majesty can hold it! I won't bother!” lupus said he sat cross-legged. It's not a matter of how long, but controlling water particles that are denser than air and can still move freely is not easy.
“How long? The problem is they have to start the sealing ritual immediately before sundown, Lupus! Otherwise, the opportunity to take over Garuda from you and return to Nigra would only be a dream! But by forcing the ritual, your power and His Majesty will be sucked into the sword, this dam of water is also untenable and wush! We're all swept up in the waves!” griseo Reply.
“Only that? Then what about the huge portal that was created after? Ow hell! Road to Nigra so wide open!”
“Yes! They can also go home ... Bringing by-by a water spill called a tsunami from a parallel world! Hahahaha!”
Nah! That's horrible! Since when did the situation suddenly make things difficult for us like this?
“Heh? Why was the Great Knight just silent? All decisions are in your hands! Sealing ritual is implemented or not, we will just watch!” Lupus. The eagle just shook on the spot where it was standing, not yet loosening the grip on its sword while my hands started to ache. The sky has turned red. Only the Eagle and time can give the answer.
Aquila and Luska could not say much. The eagle looked at me more often who was still struggling to withstand the pressure of water in all directions, as if asking silently, asking for my opinion. Unfortunately, none of the options sided with us. Not any one!
“This is the so-called turning point, kids! Turning point for me!” said Griseo look down on us, “turns of space and disaster back in power!”
.Seriate.
