JOBBING

[29] Behind the Welcome

***

Run on! We have to run!

Joba ordered us all to split up. How could? I am just a weak human being. But maybe this blue light coiling around my body can protect me. Don't know whose power this is, I just hope it won't hurt later.

Joba, Bogi and Bogu, they've left us to enter the forest. It made the rustling sound even more boisterous. Avlein... Let's run away from this place. We can't just shut up!

There was heat coming from the back. At that moment, I stepped on my feet to run. I'll really apologize later to Avlein, for leaving her without saying anything. I just hope he's okay.

When I entered the forest, it turned out that the leaves had quite long thorns. Scratch this protector after. There were sparks behind the blue color. How'this?! If this protector is lost, I will definitely get hurt! Not sure if the thorn is poisonous or can even kill me!

The noise was still following me from behind. But it seems like their distance is getting closer to me because I am weak when running. Sometimes the sound also moves from the right side to the left side. I stop, I'll get caught!

GRRRR

Ha?!!

I stopped my steps to look back. The voice was clearly from where we were standing. Avlein up! Are you all right? You must be able to save yourself!

Srak! Srak! Srak!

I realized I had to run away too. But I forgot what Joba said. Can't stop. Now what's gonna happen to me? I look at the source of the sound. Ready to await the arrival of the enemy.

Left !

The sound was very close to my left. When I took a swing to fight, my body was pushed firmly forward. At that moment my protector was gone. I went into his arms.

"Aah! Unhand me!" I rebelled in his tight arms.

"Quiet Vlivy!"

"Jo-Joba?!!" He jumped between one tree branch to another. Bogi and Bogu also followed behind. What exactly is going on? Shouldn't we split up?

"We'll catch up with Avlein!"

Yeah, we need to get there to save her. But that creepy voice came from behind us! Not here, Joba... There's no way you didn't know that.

He kept jumping between the trees speeding forward. The rustling sound had also disappeared. It seemed like the rustling earlier was only those who followed from behind. May–

BOOM!

The sound of explosions coming from our east.

"Joba, over there! Avlein must be there!"

"Yes I know... But we have to get here!"

What exactly is the purpose of Joba? After that, I realized that Bogi and Bogu were no longer following us from behind.

"They did their job! Go to the east side...." Joba replied to what I wanted to ask him.

And thankfully... Maybe they'll help Avlein. Then my feeling relieved afterwards, began to circulate a glance around. Actually I can not see clearly the trees around me, because of the speed of Joba when moving.

So only the shadows appear. But why am I not afraid in the least. Though we were in a tree that was even taller many times than Joba. Did Joba use his powers on me? I don't know .. I shouldn't be thinking about this right now. Because Avlein's in danger.

BOOM!

The explosion! A large explosion occurred in front of us. Is that Avlein? He shouldn't be on the east side...

"Well, what's going on up ahead?"

Waitaminute! I saw someone in the fire. And that huge creature that just jumped behind him? What the hell's going on? Are we coming of the enemy? I can't see clearly.

Nay! Don't turn! I beg you. You must run! I finally screamed. But my voice cannot be heard. I began to rebel after that, asking Joba to help Avlein immediately. But he just called me to stay calm and see what happens. Avlein's gonna be fine.

Without realizing the water was no longer able to hold at the end of my eyelids. It makes my eyes blur. I've checked many times, but still this water is not tired.

Just being able to see her expression was all I understood how she felt at the moment. Fearful. He must have been terrified of the Monster that was bigger than him, who was now right in front of him. I wanted to take my place there soon, but Joba wouldn't allow me to move.

Now I see Avlein starting to move her legs back. Along with that, the nail of the Monster moves back to attack.

"Don't! Please don't do that! Boba we have to stop him!"

The monster pointed its nails at Avlein's back and stuck them in when Avlein started running. Not forgetting the roar I heard earlier also filled the atmosphere around us.

"Yetoooooo!"

My tears flowed as hard as he could. My voice screamed as loud as usual.

I saw that one nail of the monster made it through Avlein's chest. Full of blood. Raised Avlein's body upwards, at that time Avlein issued a cough of blood. I cried so hard that I could not see the tragedy that was happening.

Even this chest is tight to catch your breath. Recalling I shouldn't have left him alone. I should have stayed with him, so I could have replaced him there.

I try to shed these tears. At least I can help him. But still I could not move to go there, because Joba still held my body in his arms. You can only see Bogi and Bogu coming from behind the monster. While Joba also jumped from the front to pull Avlein's body.

Is there two?

I don't think about that much right now. Avlein must be saved. I also smiled happily to see his body that had been lifted by Joba. Go into his arms and lead to where I am.

While Bogi and Bogu, they slashed their swords at the Monster with unbearable cruelty again. The monster lay there after.

I understand their feelings. If I were there and without a knife, I would try to kill the monster for injuring Avlein. But what was this weak day of mine, who could only see them fighting against the monsters that were starting to arrive.

But I don't really care about that, because I have to save Avlein.

Boba lifted his body before me. With a lot of blood flowing from his chest and back. It seems like the body has been hollow, I can even see the internal organs. With my tears becoming more and more after that. Joba immediately took us to the next place.

"Silence Vlivy... Avlein will be fine!"

I can't speak anymore. I wanted to touch her face to wake her up. But Joba kept his distance between the two of us. If he's okay, why am I not allowed to wake him?

"He can heal himself, so be calm!"

My crying paused for a moment which then turned into a sob. So Joba said he'd be okay? But even he kept the pair of blue eyes closed. How could he still sleep if he could heal himself?

We finally arrived at Goa. With two men in a corner of the goa. One of them was surprised by our arrival. Immediately he prostrated below giving a salute.

At that time also several piles of leaves and wood flew from the outside by itself. Put one by one into a bed. Soon Joba laid Avlein on it. Take off Avlein's top clothes after that. I still see his blood not tired of flowing at will. Though it would endanger Avlein if she ran out of blood.

But a miracle happened. The flowing blood was suddenly absorbed back into Avlein's body. While being spilled on the ground, it was absorbed inward and disappeared. So does the blood that stains the robe and clothes of Avlein, not even left stains there. Leave the clothes behind.

And the most impossible thing I saw. His body was reunited. By slowly arranging the organs, muscles and flesh covering themselves— becomes to its original shape. Avlein's skin looked fine. The scar that filled his arm disappeared. I can even see the boxes that adorn his stomach. Perfect.

"I told you, she'll be fine!"

"But he's not conscious yet!"

I also saw Bogi and Bogu who were next to Joba still fixated. Seeing things unimaginable to them. Same with me. Didn't expect this senseless incident.

Then we were still sobbing waiting for Avlein who was unconscious. Calling for his name repeatedly, it was possible that we managed to wake him up.

"Calm down, trust me...." Joba is still trying to calm us down.
