Orion (The Hunter)

Elders House

Orion smiled hearing they had agreed. " It doesn't matter, but before that please take this from us."

Bellatrix and Saiph brought a bunch of parcels from the car as Orion ordered.

" This is for us ?" asked one of them with a shocked and incredulous face.

" Of course. We are not your enemy and this food is guaranteed authenticity from poison or other dangerous things" Rigel replied.

The group of people immediately scrambled to take the package and cheered the pleasure.

" Even if we die at last we have no problem. Because before we could still be given a chance to enjoy normal human food."

" Thank you, sir."

" Thank you, sir."

" We will definitely eat it with our family. Thank you, sir !"

Alnilam hid his face on Alnilam's shoulders holding back his cries. It was sad for them, even Alnilam who was an orphan had never experienced anything like them.

" But can you get the others to come here because we also want to share that with them" Rigel said.

" Of course, sir !"

" We'll call our other brothers."

" Please be patient waiting for us to return."

" Hey everybody ! Let's tell the others !"

" Come on !"

That group of people looked very happy. They ran away in different directions to call more people.

" It was just rice and eggs but they were very happy" Bellatrix said.

" They must have suffered greatly." Mintaka stared sadly at the package containing the tree.

" You are right." muttered Orion with a look that never escaped the direction of the man's departure.

" It seems that the name Frendick still remains in their memory. Really, your father Orion is great." Rigel smiled as he looked at Orion at a glance.

" Of course, I even envy him." Orion replied.

" You're crying Alnilam ?" Saiph is shocked to see his lover crying in Alnitak's arms.

Alnilam wiped his tears and turned his head. " I'm sad to see their suffering."

Saiph smiled and rubbed Alnilam's head. " We'll reduce their suffering, dear. Relax, we're still with Orion. He can definitely handle all that. You saw that, right ? We just mentioned the name of the noble Frendick but they were instantly happy and believed just like that."

Alnilam nodded then smiled looking at Saiph. " Let me give that to them later."

Saiph looked at Orion for approval.

" Just do it."

Saiph smiled and looked back at his lover. " Yes, do as you please. Let me and the others move the food."

" Our master has brought them !"

" We're coming sir !"

Rigel raised his hand upwards as a sign they should be quiet and calm. " Relocate and march ! We'll share equally as long as you guys are calm and don't fight each other !"

The man followed Rigel's directions without much talk. So Rigel, Bellatrix, Alnilam, Alnitak, Saiph, and Mintaka who saw it were shocked. They thought there would be riots and also fighting each other. It turns out that what they think about people is wrong.

" Alnilam, Alnitak distributed the parcel. Others carry packages that are less than in the car" said Orion.

" Good chairman."

Orion stood near Alnilam and Alnitak who were handing out rice packs and eggs. He looked at every face of his people in line.

...*****...

" Rion is all done."

Orion gasped and was surprised to see the people who were waiting in line were no longer there but five adults who seemed to be waiting for them.

" Which other one ?"

Rigel clucked annoyedly at Orion who asked instead. " They've already gone to the elder's house."

" Then we ?" Orion asked again in a confused state.

" We what ?! We are waiting for you to daydream !" The long-awaited Bellatrix became impatient and involuntarily shouted loudly.

" Oh, yeah."

Bellatrix stared intently at Orion who was talking leisurely. Rigel patted Bellatrix on the shoulder to understand Orion. Actually compared to them, Orion is often patient with their behavior.

" Let our master deliver to the house of the elders."

Orion nodded and followed the five men along with Rigel, Alnilam, Alnitak, Saiph, Mintaka, and Bellatrix who grumbled along his steps.

On the way Orion continues to look around him as well as his friends. From the start of houses, trees, land, and the atmosphere of the environment that they think is not worth living in anymore. This is still one area, not yet another area in the entire country N.

Rigel looked at Orion who was walking in front of him. In his heart he promises to help and protect Orion until his friend succeeds in realizing his dream. Looking at the circumstances of today Rigel knew that from now on the burden that Orion had to bear became more. Suddenly a soft hand clasped his hand. Rigel turned his head and looked at his lover who was looking at him smiling.

" I know what you're thinking Rigel. You're not alone because me and the others will also risk their lives just for her" Alnitak said.

" I'm afraid she can't be happy Alni. His life is scarier than ours." Rigel murmured.

" If it's true, it's his destiny. Our job is to help him to the end. After that whatever we finally leave to fate."

Rigel sighed and did not speak anymore. Somehow Rigel always felt like Orion was going to disappear after all this was over.

" This is our elder's house."

Orion and his friends looked at the house that looked bigger than the previous house. In front of the house had also gathered many people waiting for information from them. From inside the house came five old men who came to them.

" Welcome to our humble abode, ladies and gentlemen" the elders bowed their bodies in salute.

" Thank you elders, we're honored for your welcome." Rigel bent his body after speaking. This was their way of respecting each other in this area as the N country still adhered to the royal system.

" Please, sir and miss, we speak inside."

" Yes and please guide us." Rigel smiled and stretched out his right hand to allow the elders to walk first.

The people who saw the way Rigel spoke to the elders made them feel curious. Among them was a man half covered in a mask. They were increasingly curious as to who the man was and how they could get information about their leader after all these years.

Feeling noticed Orion confirmed his mask and made sure that it could cover from half his face. It seems like a lot of people are curious about him this time.
