METANOIA, A Wonder Place
Episode 22
Forced to use the existing spear, it might not be able to kill the monster directly, but
with full power, it should be able to incapacitate him for a moment, and it could be an opportunity, for Hanry to capture him, if lucky he can bring his monsters alive as proof.
The monster leaped up, lunged before Hanry, and at the end of the spear, which was pierced directly into the creature's chest, now the monster lay in black blood, pouring out of his wound, a black tail wriggling in pain, just a little more knife cuts, Hanry was able to end the monster's life, which he assumed had killed his sister.
Exiting the sound of a slick singing from the creature's mouth, his face immediately felt no stranger to Hanry, his shiny lips, trying to sing a song, and his, with language that Hanry did not know, he remembered him with a girl, whom he had seen before, with his sister occasionally, when accompanying Eli fishing.
Although the girl does not seem to be chasing after Eli, Hanry can see it clearly, Eli likes the girl, and the girl wants Eli, too, it was left alone, because Eli was very rare
putting a taste in someone, as a good kaka, Hanry felt compelled to support his sister's relationship, by letting them, and pretending not to know, with Eli and Cora's relationship. He thought, if it was time Eli would tell you, but it turns out that the one who killed his sister, was Cora, the girl herself.
He held up the dagger in his high hand, ready to slash Cora's throat, but Cora instead of resisting, or trying to escape, he sang even louder, instead, and his face looked pitifully helpless, seeing that Hanry suddenly felt pity, his dagger lowered him involuntarily, his grip reduced.
Until the chance, Cora hooks Hanry's legs with her tail, causing Hanry to fall, and loses her dagger, the only weapon she has, now that her mother's taste was gone, Hanry lunged at Cora, with her hand, in her dorog the remaining spearhead fault, further embedded into Cora's heart.
Cora shouted very loudly, her voice shrill in the middle of the storm, which was then followed by another shout, which was followed,
mutual disdain is not clear of origin. Now that the body was lying lifeless, Hanry tried to regulate his breathing, finally he could win from the monsters he faced, and regardless of the pity from earlier
haunts.
Just to be carried the body as evidence, the lake water that had been calm, suddenly churned, finally
like being in the middle of a storm, and again the boat felt like it had hit something, so hard that even he gasped, Hanry checked what was about in the boat ramp, he said, but what he found was not a tree trunk or a stone in the middle of the lake.
A very beautiful young woman, leaning on the edge of her boat, was silent, looking at the surprised Hanry, frantically looking for weapons, but there's nothing left. A woman appeared again from underwater, one by one, until her boat was surrounded by many women who looked like Cora, a shuddering feeling enveloped Hanry instantly, there was no way she could fight them all at once, faced with one of them alone, Hanry was already overwhelmed, plus there were currently no weapons left.
The boat was suddenly swaying, at the sight of two women, riding his small boat, they saw Hanry with anger, his face like he wanted to directly pounce on Hanry, and drown him, he said, the teeth of the fangs that filled the woman's mouth were seen as a threat, as if
said, to keep quiet the place did nothing.
They pulled Cora's body from the boat, sank with them all to the bottom of the lake, and left behind some chipped black scales. Seeing that opportunity Hanry immediately ran away, but he could not get to the edge of the lake, which was all the inhabitants of the murderous women earlier, it was the same suicide he thought. On the oar of the boat, heading towards the swamp with all his might, passed through the storm, before the monsters returned.
He took a detour, broke through the forest, until Hanry saw a light, finally Hanry reached the outskirts of the village, never himself felt as happy as stepping on land.
An old man saw Hanry, who was running aimlessly in the storm, in the morning and he let her in, Hanry hesitated, he was not a devout religious man, even to approach the church alone he had never been, but right now, it was the only dry, nearby place he could go.
“What are you doing in the middle of a storm?” the old man asked Hanry, who without saying anything Hanry showed the black scales, which he had been clenching, the old man was surprised, “ini?” Ask not to believe.
“You know what it is?” Hanry asked back.
“I have never seen it live, but some books, some mention about him” replied the old man, “where did you get it?”
“Where else” said Hanry, while holding back the cold, which he had just felt.
“You have fought, fought against those monstrous monsrters alone, let me help you” the old man said, after realizing what Hanry had just faced.
“What can you do?”
“Compared you go into the bar, and tell your story, instead of believing, they'll think you're crazy, maybe even crazier than now, what if I help you, make everyone believe.”
“How do you do it?” Hanry asked curiously.
“This alone is enough as proof, the rest leave it to me, after all everyone trusts me, as the messenger of gods to them.” The old man explained to Hanry, and ask him to rest, because tomorrow, they will make everyone dumbfounded by a story.
The next day, the old man kept his promise, he told everyone, and the evidence that Hanry had brought, he said, made all the citizens mess up his words easily.
That day Hanry was remembered as a hero, who had managed to defeat the monsters, who inhabited the lake. They then referred to the women, who were natives of the lakeside as Sirens, and as of that day, every woman had red skin, which was the main feature, the villagers
will conduct an examination, or even directly give an accusation, so that the woman is sentenced to death.
The priest who petrified Hanry, then posted his story, and the book was spread all over the place, the story was told by many people, until it became a legend, some believed it, some believed it, some people think it is just nonsense.
It all depends on how, you respond to it, the story ends there, an incredible struggle.
I turned over the next page containing pieces of korang, in the paste in line with the date of the incident, the first piece only shows a picture of the reconstruction of Lust Lake when, at the time, there were two people shaking hands, like certifying a masterpiece, and behind him, surrounded by some workers, were building the foundations of a house on the swamp. Then in the pieces that are only a few months away, look Lust Lake which is filled with many people, below it says ‘Reopening Lust Lake.’
Seen many people arrive, maybe from various places, just to watch the opening, which is held very crowded, there is a large boat as the main object, the main object, it is very lively in the middle of the lake, and several small boats around it.
It looks like this boat is meant by Uncle Milo, who may be riding his sister, and who is right in the next piece, in the news of a chaos occurred in the middle of the event, all the boats suddenly
drowned, someone pulled him into the lake, and the people who were on the boat were not found any, until now.
In the backyard, there are pieces of newspapers, which record the names of missing people, and in addition some hand notes. I looked at the names one by one carefully, remembering them as much as possible.
People say they have returned, the sirens, who have proven the legend of Hanry is not just nonsense, but the truth is, and since then no one has dared to approach the lake, while the people who had already moved there, before the opening, like Mama and Uncle Milo, they were forced to settle down.
I found one name, which was about uncle Milo's sister, who was quite young at the time, not much older than Lavi, I felt sorry for him, she said, to Mama and also to Uncle Milo, who had already lost. I was born to join them for next year's anniversary, at least in memory of the people who disappeared.
A knock on the door surprised me, dad opened the door, “you haven't slept?” tanyanya, I realized this is past midnight, “ will soon sleep” my mouth, close the book and
immediately into the blanket, Dad helped turn off the lights, then left me, lucky this time I was not scolded.
I felt my hand touch the edges of the book, in my fingers feel the title of the book written with a different texture from the other cover, he said, I followed the writing until the end and repeated it again, until I was sleepy.
In the dark room, a sleepy feeling came over me, and led me into a dream, which this time showed me nothing, only darkness, and nothing, which has no end.
I woke up, from a dream that did not feel long, and the sunlight had already crept in, Arya entered my room, without knocking on the door, he immediately said “you weren't scolded?” He asked, I was confused as to what he meant, half of my consciousness was still inside the dreamland.
“What do you mean?” Ask me.
“Dad caught you yesterday didn't he? She's not mad?” He said as he walked closer, sitting on my bed, his eyes looked blacker than before.
“Not”, “what happened to your eyes? How long have you been staying?” I asked back.
“Only a few days, but I keep sleeping” he replied
“What are you doing?”
“Only a project, which is long overdue,” Arya replied, “you will see later, if it is finished” he continued, refusing to answer my question.
Arie entered my room, she appeared from the direction of the bathroom door, sometimes I forget our room is connected, “what are you guys doing?” Ask Arie, approaching.
“No” says Arya spontaneously.
“Let's get ready” Arie pulled Arya, woke her who lazily followed.
“Where do you want to go?” I asked once again, looking at Arie who was already wearing clothes complete with makeup, it seemed like they were going somewhere.
“Mother told us to come with Lavi today” said Arie who continued Arya, ”buy equipment for tomorrow, all for school later” he said, and left me alone in the room.
