A large black object approached the ship K.M. Sanchakala. As the ship's main captain, Commodore Perry Lite ordered the nausea who held the steering wheel to slow the ship's pace. The passengers who woke up in an uproar and tried to scatter out of the cabin. Fortunately, some sailors who served as a safety team forced the passengers to stay in the cabin.
While Nagini had gathered with her six colleagues who had been on the bridge of the ship, watching objects moving closer.
"It seems to be another ship" said Sultan Yazid calmly, squinting, trying to sharpen his vision to see clearly the type of ship approaching.
"No way!" refute Do Quo. The thick mustachioed man is suspicious.
Havard glanced at Do Quo. The thick mustachioed man said. "According to the statement of the shahbandar, only this ship is operating in this sea. There were no other boats." he argued, "If there were, it might just be fishing boats and small boats used by divers."
Sultan Yazid was surprised and then returned his gaze to the approaching object. And now it's aligned with K.M. Sanchakala. It is true that it is a ship. But it is large, slightly larger than K.M. Sanchakala.
Commodore Perry Lite ordered the sailors to turn on the floodlights and point them at the alien ship. From the light of the lamp they witnessed how seedy the ship was, as if it was not taken care of. A lot of rust was scattered on his ship.
Several sailors descended onto the bridge led directly by Commodore Perry Lite himself. They were joined by Sultan Yazid and his six companions.
"What can I deduce from this?" ask Commodore Perry.
"Is it true, just K.M. The sancakala that operates in this ocean?" sultan Yazid asked the nahkoda.
"As far as I know, it is." - Commodore Perry. "I'll order my crew to check."
"Let us check." asked Sultan Yazid. "You please just wait here and watch the ship."
"You sure?" ask Commodore Perry.
Sultan Yazid smiled and took out a piece of paper signed by Emperor Pu Tuo. "We are members of the police to protect the sea area.we are in the framework of a task that we cannot mention here. Please simplify our work." he said.
Commodore Perry Lite was surprised to find that there were Zhou imperial officials on his ship, immediately behaving respectfully.
"Alright, please sir." said Commodore Perry then stepped aside while telling his class sailors to guard around the bridge, watching the foreign ship.
Sultan Yazid stared at his six comrades. "You ready?" asked the man while picking up his spear which was slung on his back. The six of his comrades instantly unsheathed his weapon, a sign that they were already in a ready state.
"Come.." take Sultan Yazid then ordered some sailors to take out a bridge to cross to the ship.
The seven men crossed the view of Commodore Perry Lite and some nausea from his cabin, as well as some passengers who were bending their heads from the window outside the cabin.
"Do they not know what danger will befall them?" hiss is one of the nausea that stands on the side of Commodore Perry Lite.
The Nahkoda just glanced a moment at the nausea and then looked back at the foreign ship that looks seedy.
...****************...
Sultan Yazid divided the task. Havard and Selena inspect the top, Do Quo and Nagini inspect the hold part of the ship while Thor inspects the engine room. Sultan Yazid and Champa checked the central rooms.
They split. In this examination they often found seven skull bumps and smell the foul odor immeasurably. Champa just grunted away the stinging stench.
Sultan Yazid was forced to smother his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Selena does look like a weak girl, but she is a healer who has been hanging out with sick people and rotting corpses. The sight to him seemed ordinary.
Sultan Yazid first found the nahkoda room. He reached out to touch the doorknob and turned it around.
THE CZECH!! THE CZECH!!!
"It seems, this door is locked, my lord." sizzled Champa softly.
Sultan Yazid tried to push the door with his shoulder. It turned out to be in vain. Champa breathed.
"Sir, let's check the other room.." take Champa lightly. The silver-haired girl stepped over while carrying her hammerhead.
Sultan Yazid surrendered and was forced to follow Champa.
...****************...
Havard and Selena are lost. The two of them walked down a corridor while alerting their weapons.
"Havard.." call Selena half-whispering. Havard.
"Hmm?" his murmurs answered that call.
"Look there." said Selena softly while nodding her head in a direction. Havard followed the direction of the nod.
A few meters from where they were standing, there was a laughing child.
Havard furrowed an eyebrow then raised his sword and swung it towards the spirit.
BLESSHH....
The little boy's spirit still laughed as the sword passed through his body. The spirit then ran away from the place.
"Hey, wait!!!" exclamation Havard while chasing.
"Havard!!! Wait!!!" call Selena who's coming after Havard.
The two ran down the corridor chasing the spirit who just kept on laughing. The spirit then penetrated a room. Havard stopped in front of the room. Soon Selena appeared with an irregular breath.
"Why did you leave me?!" selena snapped in annoyance.
Havard hissed telling Selena to shut up. "The ghost ran here." his his hiss pointed to the room.
Selena looked at the room. Without waiting, Havard entered it and Selena followed behind. They found a room that looked disheveled. But there was a box that looked closed.
Havard approached the chest and poked the chest with the tip of his sword until it opened. Selena came forward and looked.
"Havard, look, there's a weapon." said Selena while pulling out an epee* long dagger) and a long-barreled gun made of high-quality steel.
Havard took the long dagger and slipped it into his belt. The young man stared at the gun in Selena's grasp.
"That's a good fit for you" Havard said. "Is it bullet-filled?" ask the young man.
Selena checked the gun. "It seems to use electrosolar energy that produces photon rays" the girl replied.
"Laser gun apparently.." muttered Havard. "Save it. Who knows it can be useful."
Selena nodded and inserted the gun behind her belt. Both are back to checking.
Suddenly the spirit appeared again and laughed as if mocking the two young men, challenging them to chase after him.
"Hey you little ghost! Don't run!" havard fiercely snapped and brandished his long sword.
The spirit laughed and ran again. With a growl Havard returned to chase and Selena caught up with him. But on the way they were both intercepted by several living skulls armed with a cutlass**) commonly used by naval soldiers.
"Don't waste your arrows." cried Havard. "Let them, I take care of them!" The man swung the claymore toward some of the skulls.
TRANGGGS!!!! PRAKKK!!!!
TRANGGGS!!!! PRAKKK!!!
the skeletal corpses fell one by one slashed by Havard. The man trampled on the scattered skeletal remains in anticipation of them getting back up again to put up a fight.
"Here we go. Let's go after the spirit." said Selena.
Havard stopped trampling the skeleton and ran back to the disappearance of the spirit, followed by Selena.
The two men arrived in a large room. Havard looked at a switch and pressed it. Instantly the room became slightly bright and occasionally went out due to the flickering lights of the room.
"What room is this?" muttered Selena in surprise. The girl lowered her outstretched bow. "I don't think I'm a stranger to this room."
Havard back to glancing. "you mean? Have you ever been on this ship?" ask Havard.
"Come on.." replied Selena. "Obviously.I was like I was here." he sis.
Selena looked at a baby swing and stepped closer to her. Havard approached the baby's swing and observed it.
"There was nothing in the cradle" Havard commented and went back to inspect the room. He found a large portrait.
A man wears a crown and by his side is also a veiled woman. A tiara poked slightly from her veil. Both look so elegant. Two babies were in the arms of the woman. Havard looked at the baby's face.
"Hey Selena. come here." call Havard who keeps an eye on the painting.
Selena turned her head and stepped closer to Havard. The girl also stared at the painting.
"Well, it seems that these two are a pair of rulers of a territory." commented Selena. "But I seem to know them." she said confusedly.
"Take a look at the baby's face." said Havard. "His face is similar to yours." the man then turned to look at Selena and compared her to the face painting of the baby in the hooded woman's arms.
"Yes..." muttered Havard.
"Sister.." cried the voice behind him.
The two of them simultaneously turned around and found the spirit of the little boy standing up and smiling at them.
"Hey you're a little ghost." call Havard. "Tell me who you really are?" ask the young man.
The little boy's spirit laughed again and looked at Selena. "We haven't seen each other in a long time, Diana" she said.
"You're wrong." denied Selena gently. "I'm Selena, not Diana..."
The spirit laughed again. "Yes, we are far apart..."
"Who are you?" ask Selena.
"You don't know me?" cut the spirit a little pouty. Selena approached him and knelt before the spirit.
"Say...who are you?" selena asked gently extending a hand about to touch but her touch penetrated the spirit body.
"I'm your brother, Minerva." replied the spirit. "This ship was attacked... Dad died fighting the invaders. I was killed too. But, I think I saved you...."
"Ship? Whose ship is this? Why are you on this ship?" ask Selena.
"This is B.R.S. Sana people. Bellial royal family ship. But on the voyage, we were attacked.we were all killed. somehow you were saved. but I am grateful because.." said the spirit.
"Saved me?" hiss Selena interrupted. "Why am I saved?"
"Because it's hunting you, I don't know why. The creature only mentioned one word." replied the spirit.
"What...what's he saying?" selena.
"Kill!!! Kill Queen Burqa!!!" exclaim that spirit. Selena frowned.
"Queen Burqa?" his hisses then looked at Havard who stood beside him holding both hands on the end of his claymore handle. "Do you know that woman?"
Havard shook his head then looked at the spirit. "Who is the Queen of Burqa?"
"It was the ancient royal consort, the wife of Emperor Uran of Dur-Salim (Ur-Salem)." replied the spirit.
"Why were you killed?" ask Selena who started to get carried away. His face had implied a tinge of red.
"Know Diana.your homeland is actually the Bellial Kingdom of Middle Earth.." said the spirit. "Somehow you survived, but beware.You are most likely still being hunted by the creature...."
"Who? Who's hunting me?!" asked Selena again curiously.
However the spirit only smiled then slowly its body became faint. "Goodbye Diana. Time is what separates us. May you continue to be in the protection of God..."
"Wait.." cried Selena again but the spirit had disappeared completely.
Soon the floor that was being tracked felt trembling. Havard was quick.
"Buck!!! This ship will sink." cried Havard immediately dragged Selena up. Both of them rushed out of the room and down the hallways until they finally arrived back in the flat.
There Sultan Yazid and the others waited. Seeing the whereabouts of Havard and Selena, they let out a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were lost!!!" exclaim Do Quo.
"Come!!! Looks like this ship is going to sail back!" exclaim Sultan Yazid who directly walk the bridge.
"Let's hurry!!!" exclaiming Champa.
Thor then followed Champa up the bridge until arriving back in the K.M. Sancakala together with Sultan Yazid and Nagini who had been there first. Do Quo then walk over the bridge.
"Selena, you go first." said Havard.
Selena then took the bridge over Do Quo. The last Havard to reach the bridge.
CRUST!!!!
As soon as Selena finished setting her foot on the K.M bridge. Sancakala, Havard who was nearing, experienced a constraint.
The bridge was cracked and broken making the young man did not have time to trace again until finally floated down into the ocean.
"Havaaaaaarrrddd.." cried Selena hysterically. Do Quo quickly hugged the girl who was struggling to catch up with the drowning Havard.
Nagini immediately took quick action and plunged into the ocean. And K.M. Sancakala resumed the voyage as panicked passengers forced Commodore Perry Lite to continue the voyage.
The ghost ship Ourang Sana also finally sailed back and slowly disappeared in the thick fog that disguised the view.
The bodies of the two men were lost to the ferocious ocean waves that night.[]
