Orion (The Hunter)

Pearls

Orion sighed for the umpteenth time. His eyes looked at the clock on his wrist, at seven over twenty minutes. It's almost an hour since Orion waited for his friend in the car with Rigel and Ziran.

" Did they sleep inside ?" Ziran who was in the front seat next to Orion asked with an annoyed face at Rigel who was sitting in the back seat.

Rigel shook his head and looked irritatedly at the door of Orion's house. " Rather than sleep I'm more sure they died inside."

" Rigel call them. Ready or not, drag them out or I shoot them one by one in the training room." Orion ordered.

" Yes." Rigel got out of the car and went back inside the house.

While waiting Ziran leaned back with his arms covering his eyes. " Orion can I ask you a question ?"

" Hm."

" You've been with them since when ?"

" Little."

" You guys grew up together ?"

" No."

" no ? Why ?" Ziran turned his position into a slant looking at Orion next to him.

" I grew up in an orphanage while they were taken care of by my uncle."

" In the orphanage you're alone ?"

" Yes."

Ziran became puzzled at the answer from Orion. Orion grew up in an orphanage while his uncle took care of six children at once. Why didn't his uncle take care of Orion ?.

" Why weren't you taken care of by your uncle ?"

Orion glanced at Ziran at a glance. " You ask too many questions."

Ziran stopped asking when he found out that only he could ask Orion. Ziran did not dare to ask anymore especially after seeing the face of Orion who was holding back was upset.

BRAK !

Rigel got into the car followed by Alnilak beside him.

" Move on." Orion said.

" What's a ?" Rigel asked confusedly.

" Alnitak moved to the back car and sent Saiph here. I don't want anyone dating on the way." Orion explained in a cold tone.

Alnitak was surprised to hear the cold voice of Orion which was not as usual. Alnitak sees Orion holding back his annoyance from the windshield.

Quickly, his mind. Without much asking Alnitak immediately got out of the car. However, this is all the fault of those who take too long to prepare the goods.

" It turns out he's pretty creepy too." Ziran muttered as he stared out of the car window.

Shortly thereafter Saiph came with a backpack on his back. The man immediately walked in and placed his bag behind the car seat that could accommodate up to eight people. Saiph patted Rigel on the shoulder and pointed at Orion with his chin asking. Alnitak had previously told him that Orion was currently upset by waiting for those who were too long to prepare. But Saiph wants to make sure of it again.

" Ziran put your view well. Don't let us go the wrong way just because you forgot" Orion said.

" Ready." Ziran straightened her body and looked straight ahead.

Orion put the earpiece in his ear and contacted Bellatrix who was the driver in another car.

" Bellatrix follow us and focus your eyes. We'll start the journey." Orion said through the earpiece.

" Yes." Yeah."

Orion started driving the car out of his yard. As the car goes, slowly the annoyance begins to disappear. Orion sighed trying to be patient, not always what his friend did was always perfect. They are just ordinary humans and Orion must accept the bad side of each of his friends.

" Our Rion is sorry."

Mintaka's voice rang out in Orion's earpiece.

" Yes, forget it." Orion smiled faintly.

" Woah ! Waterfall !" Mintaka stared in awe at the sight of the waterfall in front of him.

" You were a village once ? Even the forest people who never went to town have seen the waterfall." Bellatrix blurted cynically.

Mintaka glanced at Bellatrix annoyed. This guy is happy to disturb his pleasure. " Hush up."

Saiph looked around the waterfall with binoculars. I don't know what he saw, but Saiph hopes something extraordinary can be seen by him.

Alnilam and Alnitak prepared a small knife that could be tied around their thighs and waist.

" You put your treasure in a place like this ?" ask Rigel who is not out of thought with Ziran's thoughts. Anyone knows that the waterfall is a pretty interesting sight and Ziran put his treasure here. What if someone else comes here and finds the treasure.

Ziran simply nodded her head without intending to answer Rigel's question. His mouth was tired of talking continuously while showing Orion the way earlier.

Orion examines the waterfall in front of him. The flow of water is very heavy and it seems that under the waterfall it is quite deep. Orion looked around the waterfall surrounded by dense forest.

" Where do you keep your treasure Zai ? Behind that waterfall or under that deep water ?" asked Orion after analyzing the surroundings.

Ziran stared at Orion. " Who ! How do you know Orion ?"

" It's easy. You can't put your treasure where it's easy for people to reach." Orion replied.

Ziran nodded then laughed. " You're very smart. I put it behind that waterfall."

" What is it ?!" Mintaka who had been staring at the waterfall shouted with Bellatrix.

Saiph was silent on the spot, Rigel who immediately turned his head to look at Ziran, Alnilam and Alnitak who looked at each other, and Orion who patted his forehead.

The waterfall was huge and swift while underneath it looked very deep. To reach the water only they had to swim and climb one large rock that was on the edge. Then how can they take the Ziran treasure that is behind the waterfall ?.

" La..then how do we take your property." Saiph asked nervously.

Ziran smiled. " We have to climb the cliff of the waterfall and then go down slowly using a rope to be able to reach behind the waterfall."

Hearing that, Mintaka, Bellatrix, Alnilam, Alnitak, and Saiph saw Orion full of pleas.

Orion scratched his eyebrows feeling confused in making a decision when he saw the gaze of his friend.

" Let me and you take the treasure Ziran" Orion said after making his decision.

" Good."

Saiph, Bellatrix, Alnilam, Alnitak, and Mintaka stared in disbelief at Orion. They turned to look at Rigel asking for an opinion but Rigel was still silent on the spot.

" You wait here and watch around." Orion.

" I'm coming with you" Rigel said after waking up from his daydream.

" Are you sure ?" ask Orion.

Rigel nodded and took his equipment.

" Okay, kal..."

" I'm coming" Saiph said.

" I am too." Bellatrix immediately took her equipment.

" Though scared but what can I do. We're sure you'll protect us, Rion." said Alnitak. Alnilam prepared the equipment.

" So..., Mintaka is watching here ?" ask Orion.

Mintaka gasped in shock and shook his head loudly. " I'm coming !" then ran to get his equipment.

" What is your property, Ziran ?" ask Bellatrix.

Ziran smiled obliquely before answering Bellatrix's question.

" Pearl" he said.
