Poor Rain

5

I finished my shower and changed clothes. Tying my waist hair into a random bun. Actually I really wanted to cut my hair but Lekky forbade it. I wear a cloth to cover my hair and a veil to camouflage my face. I don't know why I feel like Prince Riana knows me. Or is it just my feeling ?. His reaction is too ordinary if He knows it's me. At least he'll reconfigure me that's what I know of him. Besides is it possible just because he saw my hair he could know it was me ?. I fantasized too much. My hair color is not a unique color. Many have hair colors like mine.

I tried to get rid of those bad thoughts. If I'm safe right now, it means he doesn't recognize me.

I was ready, Lekky invited me to breakfast first before meeting the Holy Priest. He didn't care when I said we were too late.

In the cafeteria that was transformed as a temporary dining room, only a few people remained. Some waiters were busy hauling dirty dishes. I sat in the corner of a rather hidden room while Lekky picked up some food for Us.

I received a plate of food Lekky brought. He himself only took a piece of bread, two boiled eggs and two cups of coffee for breakfast. I ate the food in a hurry.

"Are you being pursued by Satan, How to eat you is so ugly" Tegur Lekky when he saw I accidentally spilled my food on the table.

"We're too late" I said reasoned. I took a handkerchief and cleaned up the spill on the table.

"The priest is old enough to wait for us to come"

Lekky took his second cup and drank half of it.

"What will the holy priest talk about ?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't come"

I cringed at Lekky's answer. He took a cigarette in his pocket and smoked. I immediately pulled the cigarette in the first suction and broke it on my plate. I hate to see him killing himself slowly with a cigarette like this. Several Times I warned of the impact if He did not stop his cigarette habit but He did not care.

"I'm done eating. Let's go"

"You'd better listen to what I'm saying, miss"

"Are you going to tell me roughly what the holy priest wants to say if I don't come to see him ?"

"What did I tell you ?"

"Then I'll come" I stood up and pulled Lekky's arm, forcing him to stand up.

"You are stubborn" Lekky said. I don't give a shit. It felt like something was trying to hide him. It was like he was preventing me from going smoothly. Makes me want to see the holy priest more soon.

I sat in the middle of the room, a waiter poured tea into a cup and gave it to me. He then left us both. The holy priest was sitting across the table. Sitting quietly as if not bothered by the lack of his body.

"What's up ?" I don't understand.

"This is not good news for you. In the forest of Ambas surrounding the sacred temple, there was a sacred tree where great power was planted. That power is capable of killing that demon for good. However, Due to the sheer might of it, not just anyone could open it. I can't either" I silently listened to the holy priest tell me. "In the demon's blood stream is your blood. And the two Princes are firmly attached to you. Only you can unseal his protector and free that power. It's just we..."

The priest looked sad. He looked at me, as if he could see me with his blind eyes. "Anyone who unseals it has little chance of saving themselves from that power. It is likely that he will not return safely"

Time seems to stop. I looked at the Holy Priestess and understood why Lekky prevented me from talking to her. He knows about this.

"Who knows about this"

"Only priests know. I've banned them from broadcasting it out"

"Can the holy priest help me keep this news as tight as it is now ?"

"Are you sure ?" Ask the priest in a sad tone.

I nodded my head. "The devil rose up because of my carelessness, I cannot let Prince Riana and Prince Sera bear my guilt. Allow me to sacrifice myself to save the world"

The Holy Priest was silent. Seemed contemplating.

"Behold my Daughter, Destiny often goes against what we planned"

"I've troubled them so much, all this time they've always saved me. Now it's my turn to save them from having to sacrifice themselves. So help me keep this secret as it should be"

"They won't hear this from my mouth" said the holy priest.

I smiled with relief. "Thank you" I whispered.

After chatting a few things I asked for permission to leave his room.

I walked out of the holy priest's room with a hollow heart. Although I can pretend to be strong in there, but in my heart feels hit by a big mace. I did not expect the consequences that arise because of the resurrection of the devil must drag Prince Sera and Prince Riana. I'm lucky, I'm the one who knew this first. Although our story ended bitterly, but until now they still mean something to me. Prince Riana is like the moon that lights up my night so it doesn't get too dark, and Prince Sera is my sun that always gives warmth in the morning.

The Earth cannot live without both, so how can I live without them by my side.
