moly and ike were still walking following the gea figure that would take them somewhere.
" emm.gea, how much longer do we have to walk? it's getting dark?" ask ike.
" yes, my legs are also very sore, it feels like I can no longer walk" said moly.
"actually this area is not safe enough for you, but I understand. You must be very tired, then you go up to the tree. tonight you can sleep there" point at a large tree that has many branches and thick leaves.
" why should we sleep on a tree?" ask ike.
" go up first, before anyone comes. I'll explain".
" hemm, alright.you're moly first, I'll help you from below" said ike who was nodded by moly.
" moly began to climb the tree slowly, with the help of ike who pushed him from below, ike slowly also began to climb following the moly. until the two reached the tree branch".
the figure of the gea floated up following the two and sat side by side.
" now tie your stomach with the branches of the tree that are behind your body with these vines, so that you do not fall during sleep later .
" i'm done" said moly.
" yes, me too" said ike.
" gea, now explain to us, why do we have to sleep on a tree.
" if you sleep down there, it'll be more dangerous, more demons passing through the area, safer if you're up there, at least they don't see you, but this also can not be said you are safe. because the smell of your human body can attract them to come here, so from that. moss your body with this tree moss, look next to you, see next to you, lumuri with it" said gea.
" well, "says ike and moly compact, they immediately take the moss of the tree that is beside them and squeeze it first, then apply it on the face, neck, both hands, and ,their stomachs and legs.
"you go to sleep, don't turn anything on, don't make a sound and wait for tomorrow morning I'll be back".
"where are you going? why not stay with us here?" moly looked at Gea unwillingly.
" never mind, don't be like a child. Not only do we want to survive, there are our friends out there who need help, too, what else is this in an unusual forest" said ike gave understanding.
" yes you are right, hopefully they can survive" said moly.
" of course, now that we're sleeping. I'm so tired and sleepy".
" yes I am too, good night" moly .
" night" said ike, both leaning his body on the trunk of the tree behind their bodies, it did not take long both of them fell asleep.
***
shalfa and mario were tying their bellies with tree trunks. huh? they are now on top of the tree, before his body has been smeared with mud to remove the smell of humans on their bodies.
rania, giano and lucky did the same thing, they were not far from the trees that were covered with scarves and mario, why this time the scarf and rania were not together in one tree? aren't they women, but why choose the man next to her? alesannya is mario is very overprotective of the scarf, mario who was often silent and cold, now turned into more chatty and possessive. they are more likely to succumb, than the storm later. so this is how it became.
lucky looked around, his gaze fixed on a light not far from them.
" you guys, look that way" said Lucky pointing to a light around the tree.
" do they light a bonfire" said Giano.
" it looks like yes, aah..dumb!" lucky.
" do we need to go there to commemorate?" ask rania.
soon there was a scream of pain and a cry for help with the growling of a stealth from the direction of the campfire.
" too late!!" lucky said staring at the glow of the campfire that had long dimmed and died as well as the groaning sound that slowly disappeared.
" we lost our friend again" said Giano, sighing.
