MASSHIAHSAGA - DESTINY TOWER OF MAJESTY

THE PAST IN THE PRESENT

"Welcome to a City of Light"

It was an inscription emblazoned on a large banner hanging at the top of the city's perimeter pole with the outer region.

Havard stared at the old banner. Her gaze only shifted as Selena patted her shoulders gently.

"You okay?" whispered Selena gently.

Havard turned to the girl for a moment and looked back at the banner.

"It's been a few years that's been missed." Havard murmured. His tone was impressed.

Selena knitted her brows. The girl was astonished and did not understand where the young man was saying. Do Quo himself who glanced towards Havard then smiled.

"Do you feel familiar with this?" angled.

Sultan Yazid took turns to Do Quo and Havard. "Is there anything I don't know?" ask the black-coated man.

Havard did not answer but moved the bridle of Bukefals, his car and mounts moving into the city. Different from other cities. Leningrad may be the only city that doesn't put its soldiers at the gate or be seen on the streets patrolling, as if it doesn't have any military equipment in it.

There are only groups of civilians who mill freely without fear of being intercepted by crime in the middle of the road, such as pickpockets or robbers. Not that the law there is not strict, but so strict it even seems sadistic if imagined. In the city, the law applies to the hands reciprocated, so the perpetrator may think twice before committing an action that will harm him later.

The three men followed Havard into the city. The four mounts stepped leisurely amid the crowd of citizens who filled the streets.

Sultan Yazid looked back at Do Quo. The thick-moustached man finally sighed and nodded. "I found the young man hanging out outside the burning village in this area.The two of us then ventured together until we finally separated in Kurama. We met again in Turan when Tarung Sejagat was held..." Do Quo sighed and smiled. "It feels like just yesterday the boy I found. now he looks dashing... ah. My age is not young anymore.." he said then chuckled.

"So, Havard is a native of this region?" his Sultan Yazid. "I thought he was Las Mecca."

"Perhaps after studying in Kurama, he decided to stay in Las Mecca, not come back here.It could be, the memory of his burning village is very painful feelings." replied Do Quo.

"Selena knew?" ask Sultan Yazid.

Do Quo shook his head. "I don't think the woman knows the young man completely."

Sultan Yazid again threw his gaze at Havard and Selena who rode the carcass. Seemed Selena repeatedly pointed to a place with enthusiasm while Havard responded with a smile, but it was very apparent that she hid her will behind her smile.

Suddenly Havard stopped his ticket. The young man looked at Selena. "Can you continue on your own?" Havard turned his gaze to a monastery building. "I'm going to see someone first."

"I'll be with you." pinta Selena.

Havard shook his head and smiled flatly. "It's best not to. It'll be boring."

Sultan Yazid drove his horse close to Havard's car and mount. "What's wrong?" ask the ruler.

"There's a famous restaurant here. Wait for me there." said Havard then descended from Bukefals' back. The young man strode without a care to divide the foot traffic across the street to the monastery building.

Sultan Yazid stared in question. Do Quo directly mediated. "I know his place, your Majesty. Come with me." take her and pull the reins. Sultan Yazid relented and followed Do Quo, Selena finally followed along with Thor who along the way did not comment a single thing.

...****************...

A man in quick, faded blue clothes stared at the stretch of forest behind his window. The man turned around and was momentarily surprised to see a girl who was already standing before him.

"Siff.." he muttered.

"I've come home, Papa." said the girl who is none other than Champa.

The man snarled. "Why are you coming home? You're not needed here."

"I don't want to go home either." replied Champa. The man furrowed his brows and squinted his eyes.

"For what? Don't complicate my position here." said the man.

"Papa only thought of Papa's position as chief of the tribe. Papa never once cared for me." Champa replied.

"Because you never once followed my will." said the man. "Why fight for a child who never thinks of his father?"

"I just want to show people that our tribe is not a violent and aggressive tribe, Papa." said Champa firmly.

Champa smile. "Of course."

"Then go home! You have an obligation to replace me in leading our people! The Vanr tribe needs a leader who is good at seeing the outside world like you." said the man.

"I don't want to!" champa.

"Siff!!! don't you fight me anymore!" yell that guy.

"I told you, I have no intention of going home. I just want to meet with Elder Bluu. I have an interest in him. This is related to Naga Tanihwa." replied Champa.

The girl turned around and left the man.

...****************...

Nagini looked at the ruins of the Mashed village. The village had never changed a bit until he visited again. The horn-strewn woman walked Geryon down the silent streets of the dead village.

Arken... Where are you really? How many thousands of years have I traveled all over the world to find you... Why didn't you look for me???

Nagini sighed again while observing the debris of the former fire building. It's a great thing he would have happened a few years ago.

He who was drowning in grief was left behind by the great post-war Arken in the Ancient City of Ur-Salem, looking for the men he believed to be the drops of Arken, the leader of the Seven Satria Gods of the Tower of Temen-Ni-Zur.

Arken does have a strange ability, which is able to extend his life through the minis to the body of the men he wants, as long as the body matches his strength. That was why Arken had never seen defeat in any battle. Even though he was killed in any way, the man would appear again and conquer his challenger.

In the odyssey Nagini also found news about the existence of a baby who is the container spirit of Queen Burqa, which is believed to have the power of the animus coreus capable of resurrecting King Samiri.

Nagini does not want the tragedy to repeat itself. The woman sniffed the location of the baby's residence and found it in Mashed Village. Nagini then burned the village and killed all its citizens without exception.

His steps were stopped and his daydream was broken when he found a woman in worship clothes standing staring at a monument standing in the middle of a crossroads. Apparently, the building was just built.

The sound of the footsteps of the animal's shoes and feet made the worshiper's dressed woman turn her head and she bowed politely.

"Welcome to Mashed." said the woman. "Do you intend to worship in memory of the tragedy of this village?"

Nagini stood in front of the woman and looked at the monument. The woman smiled and explained.

"Her Majesty the Queen of Brunihilda wanted a memorial here and ordered that every month thousands of prayers were held by the Seven Nuns of the Sacred Sect of the Bellial Kingdom... I, Cleopatra, lead the prayer." said the woman.

Nagini nodded. "Are you the leader of the sect?" asked the woman half-inspiring curiosity.

Cleopatra shaking. "I am the second person of the Seven Nuns of the Sacred Sect. The first person was Rumellia who led the Sacred Sect."

Nagini. He breathed again. "May I know why you're having a prayer ritual here?"

Cleopatra smile. "Ah, I had to tell from the beginning." the woman then looked at the monument. "It was formerly ruled by Queen Frigga and King Freyra. They have a twin daughter... Minerva and Diana. Of the two princesses, Bishop Benedict said that Princess Diana had an aura called the Soul's Core (Coreus Animus) which is believed to be a power that gives birth to miracles."

Nagini's gaze became full of interest. "Moreover your story." she asked.

"Bishop Benedict suggested that Princess Diana be taken care of outside the palace, disguised as a commoner under Temur's care" Cleopatra said.

Temur, now the horn-styled woman clearly remembers who the last person she finished in the village was. Apparently, he was the guardian of Princess Diana.

"But Temur also suggests that Princess Diana's whereabouts have been sniffed by the dark forces sent to kill her. He then returned Princess Diana to the palace a week before the tragedy of this village." said Cleopatra.

"Was King Freyra's journey to the East by sea on Temur's initiative?" guess Nagini.

Cleopatra was shocked. "Nobody knows about it but the important people in the palace?"

Nagini never once again said an answer. The silence of the horn-stabbed woman added to Cleopatra's curiosity towards him.

Nagini knew the nun's feelings. But he chose silence and passed from that place. Cleopatra squinted her eyes at the woman who was leading the horse in her skin.

Who is that girl? Apparently, he knew the sinking of the Ourang Sana... []
