Interludes

Silver Hairy Girl

That night among the moonlight that broke through the window curtain. Aira's memory started to return, creeping slowly. Memory pieces that appear irregular, become piles of puzle that still have to be put together. He is not Aira and not from the North or from which direction the earth is.

The cold teeth that attacked him arrived, and the feeling if he was not alone.had triggered his memory back.Frozen cold that felt still attached to his skin before all his old memory was closed and locked in his small brain.

A flash of white shadow passed by before him as he looked at the moon. Also when looking at the sea from the backyard of Pambudi house. That morning when he woke up .he rushed to the beach and missed breakfast with Pambudi.

The man was a little still looking annoyed when he caught up with Aira to the beach. But his frustration became a big question mark when he found Aira was talking.Someone was like talking to someone else but there was no one else there. And Pambudi's steps receded and had to find shelter. Suddenly the sea before him rumbled and then rose into a huge wave towards the beach. Aira's hand seemed to dance and the direction of the water wave strangely followed the movement of Aira's hand up and down and occasionally twisted with dynamic movements that were getting faster.

Pambudi managed to get the Coral bulge, a shelter from the fierce sea waves, and at the same time can watch the dance performed by Aira. The dance of the waves that stopped.The sea became calm and Aira looked staggering and almost fell if Pambudi did not immediately catch his body. He looked very tired and was ready to fall unconscious. Pambudi was again shocked as Aira's body stiffened in her arms and was unable to prevent the moment Aira's body nimbly pushed her away. And the girl ran towards the middle of the sea.

Pambudi panicked and chased after Aira. But the girl's footsteps were unstoppable, she was like walking on the wind. The turbulent sea water swallowed Aira's body without a trace. Pambudi could only shout Aira's name as loud as he could. But who can fight the waves that roll as high as the house and the thunders of water that break the silence of the morning. The impact of the waves dragged Pambudi's body and hit it on the coral bulge. caused the man to lose consciousness and his body was squeezed between the coral reefs that protrude on the beach side.

He was lucky to find Bang Toro who was looking for him with the workers at Pambudi's house. He was only lightly injured on his forehead and legs. Pambudi did not say much, the events he witnessed before Aira was lost in the waves would only be saved by himself. Let alone others, even himself as if he did not believe what he witnessed himself. And Aira was never seen in the afternoon. Search teams have been deployed to comb the beach, but no sign of Aira will be found there. The search was stopped and will continue the next day. Pambudi could not hide his sadness. His inability to do anything when the girl was swallowed by the waves. And his feelings of helplessness, further added to his sadness.

That morning Aira woke up with the silver-haired girl standing at the end where she was lying. And had not had time to digest her shock the girl forced her to run to the beach. He pulled Aira's hand, so Aira had to run towards the beach on a cold morning and got a little wet from the rest of the rain last night.

This silver-haired girl is the reason Aira has to duel with Sangia. Aira realized now that she was Verna one of the best warriors of the sea kingdom. He and Vrom are on a mission to escort the Silver-Haired Girl to the Earth Kingdom to retrieve the ashes of her ancestors who are in captivity of the Earth Kingdom.

Their mission was leaked by WatuUte. The old adage that walls are also eared is a fact in the territory of the Earth Kingdom. Earth Kingdom warriors will do whatever it takes to find out what the darkest secrets are on Earth including in the Kingdom of the Sea and the Kingdom of Heaven. The news spread Watu Ute has shaken the work of the sky. The silver-haired girl's ancestral ashes are believed to tear down the main pillar of the royal palace of the sky, when sprinkled on the rock where their first ancestors were buried. To prevent them from arriving to the Earth kingdom, the sky kingdom sent Sangia. The silver haired girl did not have much time. He could only scatter the ashes of his ancestor when the full moon was ten days away. Otherwise, the rock mountain where their first ancestors were buried would have collapsed into the earth. And their descendants will end forever.

The duel between Verna and Sangia continues fiercely, but Verna is not yet a match for Sangia. After successfully bringing away the Silver-Haired Girl to a place of seclusion. Sangia had to get rid of Verna as far as possible. Sangia knew Verna was a dedicated warrior and had a strong determination. Verna won't give up easily.

Sangia throws him into a place that no one can know him and makes Verna forget his long-term memory. It only took him 10 days. After the full moon passed then the stone mountain where the first ancestor of the silver-haired girl would vanish into the bowels of the earth and the royal palace of the sky would still stand firm.

Vrom ventured into the passage of time. Searching for information on the black market worst place in the time aisle. All the dirty, rotten and black secrets of the world are sold there. But it's not easy to get in there. If not a great warrior and a myriad of experiences, anyone could end up with a terrible absence in that place.

Vrom has several liaisons, some of which have asked for help. Watu Ute had wrongly deduced Vrom's departure intent, after helping him break free from Sangia's confinement. Vrom didn't mean to look for Verna at all. She believes Verna can protect herself under any circumstances. And the warrior of the sea kingdom is a soldier who obeys the protocol in carrying out the work of the mission success is the main goal. There is nothing that can be used as an excuse to hinder the achievement of the mission. The violation of protocol is a great crime and the punishment is only one: it disappears forever, it also disappears from the memory of every creature that has ever known it.

Vrom travels through time and space to find information on where the Silver-Haired Girl was exiled. Vrom ended up in the hallway of the black market. He did not expect that there he encountered some creatures from the Sea Kingdom. Also some of the exiles are no longer welcome in the Kingdom of the Sea because their actions have tarnished the life fairies of the sea kingdom.

Vrom met one of the descendants of the blue octopus. He and some of his followers had been exiled from the sea kingdom because it had destabilized the relationship between the sea kingdom and the earth kingdom. For decades they have been the cause of shipwrecks and the loss of lives of people. There is no place for them in the sea kingdom. Make them wander the passage of time and settle in the black market. Vrom could not help but amusedly meet the head of the blue octopus.The creature with the oldest age took pains to hide its tentacles and conjured them into wings resembling those of a grasshopper.

"Hhhh..is this trending.hhhh" Vrom could not hold back his laughter anymore. Of all the oddities in this black market, according to him there is nothing like a blue octopus. Anyone would know that he was a former inhabitant of the sea kingdom. Because his efforts to imitate the inhabitants of the Earth Kingdom failed miserably.

" Quickly tell me what you want, if not the order of the ruler of the black market.I will not meet anyone from the work of the sea." The blue octopus chief was never seen to have given up his exile from the Sea Kingdom .until whenever he felt he had been treated unfairly. It is the creature of the earth kingdom that should be blamed not him.

Vrom tried seriously, and he didn't have much time.

"Tell me where Sangia used to hide her captives or evidence before the trial in the Sky Kingdom." Vrom is no longer a stale base. Finding the Silver-haired Girl in time and bringing her to the earth kingdom was her main goal at this time

" Coming into the sinking sun at every turn of the second there are hundreds of colors appearing to mark the passageway doors of time. Look at colors you have never seen before. There the temporary prisoner of the kingdom of heaven is deposited. Be careful of the sky storm. If you do, you may forget where you came from. If that happens..Hhhh.then to vanish to you is better than to haunt the passage of time.Hhhh."

After throwing a small package towards the Blue Octopus Leader, a package containing a potion that could be used to travel through time and space for a thousand years. The only currency that applies in the black market is the time aisle. Vrom passed as fast as the light towards the sky with the position of the sun sinking. There's not much time. Or the mission will fail this time.

If only Vrom was not a trained and qualified soldier, surely he would have difficulty marking the door he had to pass through. Believe it or not, he doesn't want to be hit by an asteroid. Memory loss is the least desirable thing to happen right now. Vrom managed to smoothly pass through the asteroid storm and enter the colorless door. Colorless was the only color he had never seen before.

The temporary daycare of the sky prisoners was guarded not too tight. It seems more open with visitors. He showed the identification marks of the celestial kingdom warriors he bought in the black market of the time passageway. And he was soon reunited with the Silver-Haired Girl. It turned out that the girl did not remain silent while in the custody of the Kingdom of the heavens. He had already prepared a plan and an escape route. She also had the help of some prisoners who were sympathetic to her mission to save her first ancestral nursery, also because the girl was so beautiful even to the inhabitants of the sky kingdom.

With some help they got, Vrom finally managed to bring the Silver-Haired Girl out of the custody of the celestial kingdom's prisoners. Unfortunately, they are now officially fugitives from the sky kingdom soldiers.

Vrom left the Silver-haired Girl in the sea kingdom territory to outwit the sky kingdom warriors who were chasing after them. Vrom ran in the opposite direction from where the Silver-Haired Girl was.

***

To get to the earth kingdom the silver-haired girl must find Verna. Only Verna knows the password number that can open the ancestral ash storage box.

Armed with his memory of the location of the duel Verna and Sangia ..The Silver-haired Girl headed south. And sure enough, he managed to find traces of Verna. But Verna doesn't recognize her. Instead he watched how the Gothic Girl kept sniffing where Verna was going. And the manly man who has been with Verna lately is also another matter.

Sangia has defeated Verna decisively and is determined to thwart Verna's mission by shutting down her long-term memory. The Silver-Haired Girl twisted her brain, looking for a way for Verna to recall herself as well as a mission that had to be completed within a two-day deadline.

What can be done even if at risk he should try it. Verna's memory is the most important and decisive at the moment. He dragged Verna to the beach this morning. His efforts were almost successful when the appearance of Pambudi who witnessed how Verna performed the basic dance in water control. In the vision of Pambudi Verna dancing. But actually Verna's dance is moved by the Silver-Haired Girl, because Verna remembers nothing at all. Precisely at the end of the dance's waterbending Verna loses her consciousness.

The Silver-haired Girl risked all the opportunities she had in order to restore Verna's memory. One more chance or it all ends then and there.

The girl cast a wave summoning spell, a gift the Queen of the Sea Kingdom gave that could only be used once in a very precarious state. He must take Verna to the sea kingdom to restore her memory. Although the possibility is small, unfortunately, staying is the only way. Verna was lost in the ocean waves and Pambudi lay unconscious after being hit by the sea waves. That night the silver-haired girl continued to look at the sea, and wished Verna back with her memory. Her tears had been dry for hundreds of years. He wanders across time and space in search of his remaining relatives. He found nowhere but the evidence that his immortality would end soon 'if the ashes of his ancestors could not be sown in the rock in time, where their first ancestors began thousands of years ago.

Wandering through time and space on her own is a real loneliness, although her belief remains firm that one day she will find one of her relatives. Or ending up in eternity might be the best option of living an endless loneliness. Just remember that the faithful become friends and provide comfort. The face of his relatives who had ended hundreds or even thousands of years ago is well stored there.

The girl kept looking at the sea whose waves were uneven, waiting for something ...to come out of the sea and .to bring Verma to her.
