Eps 34: Thalas Village.

Their journey home was interspersed with stories and laughter. It was completely dark, without feeling they had reached the village gate that Daya and Jaka wanted to go to.

The quiet village, visible from a distance some residents are still working with sweat on their cheeks and forehead. Surrounding the gate filled with lights made a dark area radiated by light and border officers who stood under the lights swiftly checking anyone who entered and exited the village. Yep, unlike the Oregon Village which had no guards, this village had two people in uniform complete with swords on its waist guarding the border area between the village and outside the village.

"You want to stay at my grandfather's?" tanya Maya looked back at Jaka and Daya.

"Thank you, Maya. We accept it with pleasure" Daya said, receiving Maya's help with a smile on her lips.

Maya returns Daya's smile and tells Daya and Jaka to follow her into the village. While at the border, they were stopped by two men in full uniform border guards.

"Good night, we've never met you before. What needs are there in the village

Thallas?" one of the men in uniform asked Daya because she was the only person among Jaka and Maya who had never been to the village of Thalas.

"My friend and I want to register with the swordsman union" Daya replied, pointing at Jaka.

"Hmm .. don't you have a friend?" ask the man in uniform to ask Jaka's friend first.

"You don't have to ask that, just let us in!" jaka replied firmly not wanting to tell about his past to the strapping man.

"Hmm ... Then please come in."

The three of them entered the village of Thalas, in fact to enter a village must have a letter of agreement that he will not hurt the villagers and make a scene, he said, but since Daya came with Jaka and Maya, making her steps easier.

By the time they reached the village, the condition of the village was very calm and peaceful. Various lights were seen lit, some residents were still opening their wares and some residents were still seen passing around the village. Daya and Jaka follow Maya's steps through the village to go to her grandfather's residence. Maya stepped her feet quickly, at the same time her gaze as well as her face showed anxiety and excitement. Maya wants to quickly give their hunting medicine to her grandfather.

After walking for five minutes, they finally reached a small hut. The hut is made of bamboo and is located on the outskirts of the village. Around the hut there were some plants and places to paddle. Maya goes straight into her hut and calls out to her grandfather that she has managed to kill Verdon's monster and bring medicine for him.

"Grandfather ...! Grandpa ...! I made it to the cake, I've killed Verdon's monster and brought you medicine!" maya screamed for her grandfather with tears of happiness soaking up her eyeballs.

Seeing Maya running into the hut, Daya and Jaka decide to come in and see her grandfather Maya. Maya is hugging her grandfather who is lying limp on the bed. Grandpa Maya's face was very pale, her body was thin and her eyes were soft. Daya and Jaka who saw the state of Maya's grandfather feel grateful to have helped him kill Verdon's monster. After hugging her grandfather's body for a few minutes, Maya gets up and looks like she wants to prepare medicine for her grandfather.

"Grandfather took his medicine, yeah. Will Maya make it," Maya said in a very soft voice standing up to prepare medicine for her grandfather.

Grandpa Maya only nodded her head lightly. Maya goes to the kitchen and prepares medicine for her grandfather.

"Can we help you, Maya?" daya's proposal wanted to help him prepare medicine for his grandfather.

"Ah .. thanks for the help, Daya. Jaka don't help, let us make a cure for you too," said Maya looking at Jaka who still looks to endure pain. Maya tells Jaka to lean against the wall of her grandfather's hut to rest.

Dayapun helps Maya prepare medicine for her grandfather and Jaka. Seen first Maya burns wood and a pot filled with water as a place to cook Verdon's horn, both Daya takes salt to boil Verdon's monster horn, the third put the Verdon monster horn into boiling water, take the water from Verdon's horn stew and put it in a glass and drink it to Maya's grandfather. Power holds the body of Maya's grandfather with both hands, while Maya pours a glass of boiled water into her grandfather's throat.

After being ready to give a drink to his grandfather, he now makes an antidote for Jaka. First Power pounded the finished Verdon monster horn fragments boiled, the two Mayans stuffed the Verdon monster horn fragments into the cloth, and the latter was soaked for a few seconds in warm water and then compressed on the wound that Jaka received.

A few minutes after the drug was administered, it was seen that Jaka and Maya's grandfather had fallen asleep soundly, while Daya and Maya were still awake sitting on a chair.

"Thank you for helping me, Daya. It means a lot to me" Maya said thanking Daya with a smile that never faded from her lips.

"It's okay, we're glad we could help."

"What are you gonna do next?"

"The plan is tomorrow we will register with the Swordsman Union."

"Oh ..," Maya replied with a smile and a happy face. However Daya sees Maya's smile slowly changing. His gaze downward, his eyes softened and his smile seemed forced. Daya did not understand why Maya gave such a smile. A knot smile that if noticed has a lot of meaning behind it.

"Ah ... Just go first, Maya. I'm not sleepy yet" Daya replied back to Maya's smile.

Mayapun fell asleep first on a thin cloth surface while Daya was still awake looking towards the three of them. Maya fell asleep very quickly, a soft snoring sound came from the direction of her sleep. Jaka fell asleep with his hand holding a cloth containing fragments of Verdon's monster horn leaning against the wall of the hut and Maya's grandfather was still sound asleep.

While waiting for the drowsiness to come, Daya tried to train her Arbitrial energy while sitting on a chair. The closing power of his eyes began to control the natural energy around him, a black aura began to be seen enveloping him.

After nearly half an hour of Daya practicing, she was shocked by the voice of the old man who called out Maya's name. Power stopped his training and opened his eyes looking towards the source of the sound it was coming from. It turns out that the voice came from Maya's grandfather who had built up from his sleep.

"Wah ... it turns out that Verdon's monster horn is very effective at healing his grandfather Maya," Inner Daya sees Maya's grandfather who looks healed.

Daya got up from her sitting position and approached her grandfather Maya.

"Sorry, Cake. Maya is asleep, I'm her friend Maya" said Daya politely as she sat in front of Maya's grandfather.

Maya's grandfather looked towards Daya and said,

"You're Maya's friend?" said Maya's grandfather in a quiet voice.

"Yes, Cake."

"You also helped him kill Verdon's monster?"

"Yes, Cake. It was me and my friend who helped Maya find a cure for you."

Grandfather Maya sighed softly and closed her eyes.

"What's your name young man?"

"Just call me 'Rich', Cake."

"Ah, Nak Daya ... where is my grandson now?" ask Maya's grandfather with a raspy voice typical of men who have been elderly.

"Maya's asleep, Cake. Looks like he's exhausted."

"Hmm ... Grandpa wanted to tell me about you a thing, but before that I wanted Nak Daya to promise me one thing."

"What is that, Cake?"

"Stay Maya's friend and protect her as much as you can."

"Of course, Grandpa. But why are you asking for this all of a sudden?" tanya Daya wonder.

The look on Maya's grandfather's face changed, looking scared, angry and sad at the same time.

"That's what I want to tell you, do you want to hear the story about my grandson 'Maya', Son Daya?"

"Of course, Cake."

"This is the story ..... "
