Power Legend

Eps 27 - Arc 2: Execution.

After saying goodbye to the people of the cottage, officially Daya has come out of the cottage owned by Mr. Abdi. Armed with a backpack on the shoulders containing various supplies of Goddess and spear wrapped in black cloth, Daya stepped her feet towards what she dreamed. When Daya stepped foot into the village, Daya remembered the words of Mr. Abdi when they were still in the cave.

*Slightly Flashback.

"Is there nothing more you want to ask, Daya?" ask Mr. Abdi in a soft tone.

"There, sir. But I'm afraid to ask."

"Whatis that? just ask!"

"Why can man not live forever or live for a thousand years? While other creatures like Elves can do that?"

"Hm ...." Mr. Abdi breathed out slowly.

"Humans are weak creatures, Power. Humans live in their own time. If your time is up, someone else will take your place. Just like when I die, you're the one who's gonna take my time." Mr. Abdi smiled at Daya with a heartwarming smile.

"Whatever happens, remember one thing, Power! You cannot live forever or for hundreds of years. However, you can make other people remember your name for thousands of years. They will remember you for the good or evil you have done. So choose, you want to be remembered as a hero, or hated as a prisoner!"

The eyes of Daya opened wide when hearing Mr. Abdi's words. His mouth was stiff, his legs and hands trembled small. Power greatly admires the wisdom of Mr. Abdi in all things. Power feels like wanting to be like Mr. Abdi one day.

"One more thing, Power! Don't use humans as motivation! Make it her nature and ambition that motivates you to what you dream of!"

"Thank you for the explanation, sir," said Jaka bowing his head respectfully.

"My feeling or Mr. Abdi does understand what I say in my heart. Hmm .. feelings alone are possible," Inner Power was astonished when it still paid its respects to Mr. Abdi.

"Don't just thank you! Do you understand what I just explained?"

"Ngerti donk, that is, if we make humans as motivation, then we will follow the human no matter what happens. But if we make his personality motivated, then we will know more about what he feels and what he will do. That, sir?" ask Power with a less sure look.

"Well, that's more or less."

*Back to the present.

With a big smile, a happy face and footsteps, walking in tandem, Daya walked down the road in a happy condition. When Daya was away from the cottage, Daya stopped her steps. His face was pale, his gaze frightened and sweat seemed to slightly wet his face. Power says,

"Ahhh .. I forgot to ask how to become a swordsman ...!" said Daya half-screaming looking at the clear morning sky.

Power was silent for a few seconds. Daya then said casually,

"Jaudah, it will be the same as the villagers," Daya said.

When Daya had reached the village, she saw many people huddling around like they were talking about something. Power approached them and

enquiring, asking,

"Why are so many villagers gathered here, sir?" ask the residents.

"Ah, there will be an execution of a young man who has committed a crime" the resident explained.

"Eh ... Where, sir?" tanya Power curious.

"Later at the village hall, the village leader planned to carry out the execution at noon."

"Thank you, sir," said Daya leaving the residents.

Daya was waiting among the crowds at the village hall. After waiting for a few minutes, Daya was suddenly startled with a terrible music. It's like making anyone want to stay away from it. The power of looking towards the groove came from there many citizens who raised someone. When Daya saw who the person who was lifted up, Daya was surprised by the figure she saw. No other and no not he is the one who always bothers him when he is in the cottage. He is Jaka.

The condition is very alarming, Jaka was taken and tied to a large pole with conditions such as after being hit with a blunt object. Blood came out of his body, his eyes lowered and from the sidelines of his eyes seemed to flow tears with a look of regret. By just looking at it, making Daya feel sorry for Jaka. Daya could not do anything, she could only see the villagers parading Jaka towards the village hall. As Daya looked around the crowd, Daya found it strange that Jaka's four friends while studying at the cottage were also among the villagers. But they smiled and laughed when they saw Jaka being paraded by the villagers. The power of sensing that something was wrong had happened there.

When the crowd carrying Jaka reached the village hall, they lowered the pole that lifted him in the middle of the field. From the crowd was a well-built man with a badge that read Sir. Deff Nasiri stood beside Jaka. The man said,

"As the leader of this village and one who has a relationship with the perpetrator, then I alone will carry out this execution!" said the man firmly.

A resident gave a long sword placed on a red pillow to the strapping man. The man took the sword

then raise it high with both hands ready to cut off Jaka's head. Unsure of being strong at execution, Daya turned her gaze the other way. The thrilling moment had arrived, the man had prepared to draw his sword towards Jaka's neck.

Upon further notice, the hand of the strapping man holding the sword seemed to tremble and the man's face emitted doubt.

* Shrekk ....

The sound of a sword swing was heard, but the residents were shocked because the strapping man did not cut off Jaka's head.

"Hoi ... What are you doing, huh!?"

"Why don't you behead that b*jing*n!?"

The villagers began to get angry and scold Deff Nasiri for not beheading Jaka. Power was surprised by it. From one man who shouted,

spread both people. All the villagers gathered at the village hall shouted the same thing.

"Shut up ...!" the screams of Deff Nasiri echoed throughout the village brandishing his sword at the residents.

"Whoever is the victim of Jaka's crime, I will guarantee his life to death!" deff Nasiri shouted with sharp eyes looking at the citizens.

the strapping man looked towards Jaka and stood right before him then raised Jaka's face with the side of the sword that was not sharp.

"I'm giving you a chance to live, Jaka! But instead, I don't want to see your face in this village anymore!" Deff Nasiri said to Jaka then swung his sword towards the rope that bound Jaka's body.

* Shrekk ....

The rope that tied Jaka's body came off, along with that Jaka's limp body also fell. Jaka fell to the dirty ground with his body

the weak. Deff Nasiri kicked Jaka right in his stomach when Jaka's body was on the ground saying,

"Go from here!" snapped Deff Nasiri while kicking Jaka's stomach continuously.

Despite having been kicked as many times as possible, Jaka was unable to move because his body was so weak. Because of pity with the state of Jaka, Daya moved from the place of his establishment towards the body of Jaka who was lying limp. Power stopped Deff Nasiri's kick with his leg and said,

"Let me help you stay away from this young man, sir," said Daya lifting Jaka's body up and carrying his body.

"Take this young man away before I kill you both!" deff Nasiri snapped to Daya to drive them both away.

From the sidelines of his shout, Daya saw a slight smile that adorned the straight man's face. Daya is confused by the smile that the sturdy man did, Daya also went out of the Oregon Village with a weak body carrying Jaka.
