LULLABIES

LULLABIES
World Now



It is this age that people wanted in ancient times to eliminate the reality of the world, it was not meant to trap this age in their desires but rather to protect from something as frightening as they had experienced before and hope that their descendants would not experience things as they had. Even today no one knows whether there is a true historical trace of it or the descendants of those who deliberately keep all of it secret from the wider community.


Everyone in this era feels a smile, children play happily enjoy the atmosphere and scenery of a village at the foot of a mountain with a very dense forest. No one knew at all if the village was given a barrier. Yes, their village is surrounded by dense forests, large rivers and very steep ravines. It was not without reason that the predecessors were looking for such a place. Therefore, no one goes far from the village, they take advantage of the forest and the river around them.


A very safe and happy village gave birth to children who were always cheerful to fill the void with their cries and cries. Occasionally disturbing or helping his parents who are busy farming and looking for wood into the forest. But not with this one child, even though he was still about thirteen years old, he did not look at all like children his age. After going home from school other children play or learn their lessons at home with other friends.


He actually came to the pier which is located in a river far from the bustle of community activity. A river that is close to the border between the village and the forest, rarely there are people who play around there as well as the community because there are only grasses that grow wild and long, nothing can be used so well with the clear river that there is no fish at all. The place is the right place for him to stay silent while enjoying the view of the sky and mountains in the afternoon.


"OK, now we will try to make a raft to be used in the river, the use is almost the same as a boat but with a different shape" said one Ito explained.


Ito is a calling for people who have more knowledge and insight than everyone as is the case with a teacher. An Ito must not only have knowledge but he is also a chosen person chosen by all the people there and certainly the Kingdom. He was given the freedom to seek as much knowledge as possible in the village without any major prohibition just need to report when he left and give the report obtained. And Ito can only tell what is considered useful and needed.


The village has a population that is not too much, it only has two classes for Ito to teach with a range of children aged around 9 to 15 years for bolwakar classes or basic classes for beginners to know the Kingdom, and, village and its contents as well as basic exercises. While the age of 16 to 22 years for the rannoura class or class for teenagers who are ready to fight, use weapons and tactics.


Class conditions are very simple not much different from the houses of the residents made of wood and straw or foliage for the roof.


"Sheki...!" A child raised his hand. "My father made it, it just looks the same but it's different" the boy was confused to explain


Ito Sheki laughed at the thirteen-year-old's behavior. "Deki Lihomni, your father is a carpenter, surely he often makes boats or something, your father is certainly very proficient about this, he said, but for this time you and all of you have to make it yourself" Ito said trying to give understanding to his students.


"It's true that ito, the wood is very heavy" cried another child.


"It's known you'll definitely complain about that! Ito has everything ready, so you will start by making a raft made of small twigs and Ito frees you to give the appearance as attractive as possible with the example of this raft that Ito holds. Now you have to try and tomorrow Ito will judge everything you make and the best Ito will give a gift" said Sheki.


The whole classroom became happy and noisy, all the students were looking forward to welcoming tomorrow and getting the grades and gifts that Ito would give. Unlike this one child, he only showed an ordinary face, there was no excitement and curiosity about the gift. He strives to do school work only to the extent of his duties and obligations as a student. He is not as enthusiastic as other students who are very excited and can not wait for tomorrow.


"You are, why should you carry my name" Dellio said innocently seeing Miroka pointing at him.


The cute but talented child, is Lowin raskali a child who does not like noise. he prefers to spend his time drawing by staying silent at a small pier he made himself on the river bank because after school he did not go straight home but directly to the dock place he's alone. I don't know what made him go to that place so often. Though he just sat quietly enjoying the view of the afternoon and occasionally did something that he thought interesting or drawing. He often stared at what was in front of him, even though it was just a sky, mountains, forests and a calm stream.


His face that never gives seriousness in the lesson makes his friends annoyed at his attitude. Every time his friend chatted with him, Lowin only answered briefly and sufficiently, because it was also his friends were not happy to be close to him even though he was a smart enough child. Not a few people who say that Lowin is a strange person. Unlike his classmate Miroka Pabeli, the child who was also shunned by his friends not because of silence but he was the opposite of Lowin, his attitude that likes to make trouble, making his friend feel annoyed if close to him. He is also suspicious of others.


Miroka very often bothers Lowin because of his attitude that seems to not care in the classroom but he always gets more attention from Ito in every task given, he said, he would definitely not pass a good grade and that irritated Miroka. While Dellio Laxotta is a friend of Miroka he is a child who is intelligent beyond lowin and easy to learn things, In addition he also has a sense of humor that is sometimes very laughable, it's just that he is not like Miroka who has stronger physical strength, it is because Dellio is also a person who is relaxed and does not like to use his muscles. But he quickly panicked if something bad happened.


"For me it's just an easy thing, I just do the job according to what Ito said!" he said as he walked away from Miroka and Dellio.


"Hhhhhh..."


"What do you mean Dellio! Take out a sigh like that?" Ask Miroka.


"Let's go, you're always hard never to change" said Dellio.


"Hey... You're defending him instead of me!" Annoyed Miroka.


Dellio and Miroka return home together because of the unidirectional path. Unlike Lowin, although he had a friend in the direction he would not go home with, Lowin preferred to walk alone and as usual spent until the afternoon in the lake. Dellio and Miroka have been best friends since childhood because their father has also become friends, therefore they often play together and already understand each other.


Dellio who comes from the Laxotta Family is a family that can be said to be clever because the Laxotta Family is a writer of history throughout the journey of the Kingdom of Botimalos so it is not strange when Dellio feels familiar to have seen or heard something. Rules are rules, Dellio is not given the freedom and authority to know more about history.


Miroka Pabelli comes from a family that has strong muscle strength because they are the makers and suppliers of any type of weapon for the Kingdom, Miroka also sometimes likes to help even though only wiping the holster. While Lowin is an orphan who does not know what his father's face is like because Lowin was abandoned since he was a baby, but he was lucky because he had a brother and mother who loved him very much
