Grizzled
#S2 Episode 31
“This is the so-called turning point, kids! The turning point for me! angkara and disaster turn back to power!”
The words of Griseo in my ear sounded like there would be no more sunrise tomorrow morning. If the two options available do not side with us at all, checkmate all of this. While still damming the water, my mind fumbled and did not stop making calculations while the two demons there were instead cross-legged playing cards.
Damnit damnit! Which is more risky? If the sealing was not done, I and Eagle could not return to Nigra and we lost Kak Garuda, but if forced to do so ... The portal to Nigra will indeed open, but we only bring disaster to the rest of Nigra, the tidal wave.
“Shir ... I would love to be selfish, but not brave enough ..” said the Eagle blankly, completely distressed by the situation. If I could lower my hand for a moment, I would like to go up to him and say whatever it takes to strengthen each other.
“Stay do the sealing, Great Knight!” whispered Luska who was caught heard me.
“I also want, but ...”
“Do not worry about the portal that will continue the tidal wave ... because in fact the giant portal to Nigra will appear in the sky,” said Luska, “tide wave will not reach it and will not be forwarded to Nigra.”
“You can guarantee it?” ask Eagle.
“Yes, the Head of the Council is planning an invasion of Nigra with air force forces. I also saw the aircraft. That's what makes me sure the interdimensional portal will open in the sky!”
“The problem remains the same, Luska, that tidal wave! How could the three of them reach for the portal after His Majesty's power vanished and this tidal wave was unstoppable, sweeping through all of us afterwards? In the end they still could not return to Nigra!” answer Aquila.
“It's okay in my opinion .. from Kak Garuda can still be saved,” sahutku, “cannot go back to Nigra will definitely make me sad for months, but I'm not alone ‘kan?”
“Shira ... Are you also sure of your words?” the Eagle looked at me with an innocent look.
“Yes ... It's okay, Lang. I'm more afraid when you lose your brother. Besides I am not afraid of being trapped in any world .. provided that I am with you,” I answer as much as possible smile without looking pushy, “your next task is to entertain me such as I miss the people of the house. Well, we'll cheer each other up later. We will start many new things in the new world.”
“Yang Mulia ..”
Luska was too hesitant to smile at my choice, but the Eagle ended up being slightly comforted by my words even though I had no intention of comforting her yet.
“Don't have fun being stuck here despite being with me, you weirdo!” the answer almost nudged my forehead, but it soon stopped considering my position which was still holding waves.
“But .. well, we should indeed take these consequences for Garuda's sacrifice. He's only getting cooler when he's not saved and I'm just getting more like a loser who failed to save him,” said the Eagle again.
“Why is it still about cool or not cool?! We're chased by time!” aquila looked at the sky that was getting reddish as the sun began to fall at the horizon.
“I'll take care of this sword in the middle there. Please, you two keep an eye on Griseo and Lupus so as not to hurt Shira or my brother,” said the Eagle, “one more is the most important. After this wave is not restrained anymore and rolls us all, try not to be separated .. no one separated far.”
“Understood, Great Knight!” luska replied then everyone moved according to plan while I was just waiting for the seconds of my power loss, uprooted and sealed in the Eagle sword that had begun to be stuck in the center of this island, waiting for a massive pound of millions of liters of water to sink us all. Speaking of drowning, I can't swim. I forgot that because I wish that Garuda could really survive.
“Sial, ah! They finally chose that path, Griseo! Not fun!” said Lupus slammed his card irritated.
“Well, see you, Lupus! Believe me with one Lupus stuck, there are still thousands of Lupus roaming around. I didn't lose you!” griseo stretched his clawed hands, thrusting forward at Lupus on Kak Garuda's body.
“But they will still lose this rancid boy ..” Griseo muttered with the devil's grin.
“I like your idea! Let me help!” lupus replied before he was completely uprooted from Kak Garuda's body, scraping his own chest.
“Sorry yes, we messed up!” aveng Aquila suddenly draped –or snapped– a thread into Lupus' neck while Luska swung her sword towards Griseo despite being pushed aside.
“Aaaarghh! ****** fucking! And your fucking amulets too! You think I'll lose to a thread?! No will!”
Lupus's ravings and Luska and Griseo's duel must be interrupted by a water lunge that I can no longer hold after the pain in my nape spread throughout the body. I was once accidentally electrocuted for less than a second and the shock sensation was terrible enough for me. This time such a sensation lasted for a long time when my power was uprooted, making me collapse instantly and see nothing more than an Eagle running towards me, as if chasing a wave behind him.
I don't know if he finally got to me or not. The next moment was very short because suddenly there was nothing I could hear, my ears were still adapting to the pressure difference as my body floated around in the water. Not much moving, I really resigned to whatever happened –pasrah because actually can not swim. The view in the water was very faint, but it was enough for me to recognize a person who was holding my hand, who was also trying to grab the hand of another. Eagle ... and he was trying to reach his brother's hand who was also floating in the water. Instantly I did the same thing while holding back the need to breathe air.
Kak Garuda's body seemed to drift further away from us, but the Eagle was quite good at moving in the water. He almost grabbed the unconscious brother's hand and he actually grabbed it along with one surprising thing happening next. Something moved from the bottom of the ocean, pushing us straight up, disrupting our movement in the water. I accidentally inhaled water after being attacked by panic. Something that wasn't supposed to get into my nose really felt weird and rejected. My respiratory system did not accept it and my body also reacted, wriggling here and there before finally suffocating by itself, but I had not felt the grip on my hand come off.
With a push from the bottom that kept pushing us upwards nonstop, I still fainted and did not know anything until some time later I felt a strong shock on my cheek accompanied by the sound of an Eagle that sounded happy half dead.
“Shir! Up, Shir! You should see this!”
I was still half-conscious and had not opened my eyes, but the next sound was enough to sound clapping like a loud slap, not targeting my lucky cheek.
“And you too quickly get up, heh! Don't force me to call you brothers again!” he said half withholding laughter.
“Shir, please open your eyes and look at the island that was sinking in the waves now moving up by itself! Like the sprouts of beans that continue to grow from the bottom of the ocean! Shir, I'm serious! The portal hole up there welcomes us and the island leads us to it! The shira! Shir?! Goddamnit! Why should I alone be afflicted with euphoria like this?!”
I danced in the subconscious to hear it, choosing to sleep more and more calmly knowing it, choosing to fall asleep with a thin smile on my face. No matter if the Eagle resuscitated me at all costs, I would somehow prefer to stay in his lap rather than celebrate our victory once again.
After I coughed because the water I was breathing was successfully removed, only the white space was silent and quiet where I was. Alone, I gasped as soon as I realized that.
.Seriate. Uh, done.
Connecting is done is it good?😫
