PUTRI ALAM (24 Days In the Land of Freshness)

Chapter 10

"Maybe, trying to trust them is not a bad thing. Because husnuuzon is better than suuzon."

- Airli Putri Awardani

☘️☘️☘️

Airli tried to blink his eyes, looking for a light source to reactivate the focal point in his eyes that was currently still blurry. While holding her head slightly dizzy, Airli tried to move to justify her sitting position. Airli also just realized that he was leaning on a large tree.

Airli saw Rayyan and Bimora sitting not far from him with their hands busy burning fish on the bonfire. It turned out that the light source that Airli saw earlier came from that fire.

Rayyan who realized Airli had come to her senses immediately approached the girl.

"Finally you are aware" he said, followed by a warm smile. Airli replied with a smile as well while massaging her head.

"I why?" tanya Airli was still confused.

"Sister had fainted," not Rayyan who answered but Bimora who was still in his position.

"Fainted?" Airli again held his head that was still dizzy, while remembering what happened to him earlier.

Seconds later Airli immediately remembered it. With a worried face Airli moved his hand again, slowly opening his palm.

"Don't be afraid! The essence of strength will not hurt you" Rayyan said trying to calm Airli down.

Airli tried to calm himself. Neutralizes his heartbeat which again beats above normal due to his fear. Airli inhaled a deep breath then threw it away slowly.

Opening his hand to look back at the core of his strength.

Not long after, the green light grass reappeared from there exactly as Airli had seen before he fainted earlier.

Bimora who realized Airli's face began to turn panicked immediately moved from his seat to approach Airli.

"Calm down! No need to panic," he said.

"Pull your breath in!" rayyan. Airli followed.

"Then throw it away slowly!" instructions again. Airli followed. That's how it was up to a few times.

After Airli looks calm Rayyan spoke up.

"Bimora told me everything. About you, who are not from the land of Tawar. As for the mirror you told me about, it seems I've heard stories about that mirror." Rayyan.

Rayyan was still about to continue her words, Suddenly Airli cut her just like that.

"Wait a minute Yan! May I, what the hell is this called? The essence of this power was lost first so as not to shine in front of me gini! So that you can focus also with you talking," said Airli a little belibet. He was so because he was still shocked to know that I was his, or because he just woke up from fainting? I don't know, only Airli knows why.

But hearing Airli's words just now Rayyan and Bimora even chuckled small. Airli's question, so funny according to them.

"You turn over your palm, or you valve your fingers, it can take your elbow out of sight. The essence of strength will only be seen when the owner raises their hand." Rayyan explained.

Hearing that, Airli instantly clenched her fingers. And sure enough, the grass that Airli saw earlier was immediately invisible again. Just like Rayyan explained just now to him.

"Oh yeah, really." Said Airli even joyful.

"So that's how it works," he said while his own mangosteen.

Rayyan's smile immediately expanded upon seeing that scene.

"Eh but wait!" airi said suddenly. His face turned serious.

Rayyan and Bimora looked at Airli confusedly.

"So I fainted. I don't think it's here, you guys take me to this place how?" tanya Airli is full of search. His gaze could not be separated from Rayyan or Bimora.

The bimora that could sense the different Aura Airli began to be uncomfortable. While Rayyan who had both times felt this aura began to be able to handle it well.

Rayyan got up from her seat, then started to get ready to take out hers.

"Elementary Power" Rayyan said, activating her own elbow.

"Elementary land,"

The color of the clothes Rayyan was wearing changed. What was once blue is now turned brown, but the blue color combination remains.

"Do you want to know how we're gonna take you?" rayyan asked Airli.

Airli nodded while answering.

"Yes, how is it?"

Rayyan's smile lifted at a glance. Then his hand began to move to bring out his earth elemental technique.

"Earth wave!!" shouted Rayyan.

And suddenly, the land that Airli sat on immediately moved like a sea wave even though on a small scale, but Airli was quite surprised by the movement of the wave. Airli slightly calmed down to balance his body.

With a very shallow wave that brought Airli moved. Until now he was sitting right beside Bimora the distance that was more than two meters is now less than one meter.

"You know what my brother is, how we move you." Bimora said without seeing Airli. Because his focus this time was still on the fish he was burning.

Airli was still clutching her chest, her shock was still not gone.

One thing that Airli realized, even though the land Rayyan movement was in the form of waves like sea waves, but Airli who was above him still felt calm. It seemed that the young man had indeed mastered the technique very well. Reinforced again, with the condition of the land that returned as usual as before the technique he used.

"Okey, I believe." Airli.

"Thank you for helping me, and I'm sorry that you delayed your journey to find Cattin's cure" Airli said slightly unkindly to the two young men before her.

"No problem, after eating we can continue the journey." Rayyan replied calmly.

"But it seems like it's dark" said Airli as he watched his surroundings, which was only the darkness that Airli saw. The light source was only from their campfire.

"The "medicine of a thousand recoveries is not far from here. Once we get it we can go straight back to the Academy" Bimora explained.

"Where do you know that?" ask Airli.

Bimora picked up a wood with a fire burning at its end, then pointed it towards his right. With the intention of illuminating a few small trees that were there.

"This is the child of the thousand recovery medicinal tree, usually this sapling grows less than a hundred meters away from where the mother is located. Because if it's more than that distance, this sapling won't be able to grow." Bimora to Airli.

"It seems you understand a lot about plants, yes" said Airli.

"Not really, sister, there's little I still know. All this I know from Rayyan's sister" Bimora added.

Airli turned to glance at Rayyan. Along with that, the fish that Bimora had matured.

"Oh yeah, didn't you say anything?"

Airli reminded Rayyan of her words that were cut off by him earlier.

"It's ripe, let's eat it!" bimora said cutting, while giving the fish to Rayyan and Airli each one tail.

"Thank you bimora" said the two.

Bimora replied with a warm smile.

"Bimora has explained about you, about you coming to this place because of a mirror."

Rayyan took out a green book from her hand. The book was like magic that just appeared. Rayyan opened the book.

Was the mirror you were referring to like this?" rayyan asked while showing the pictures in her book.

Airli immediately looked at the picture, watching the mirror image that turned out to be the same as the mirror he was looking for. The carving in the mirror was exactly the same as the image in Rayyan's book.

"Truly, this image is exactly the same as the mirror that brought me to this place" said Airli confirming Rayyan's question.

"Have you ever seen him?" ask Airli.

Rayyan and Bimora shook their heads quickly.

"This mirror is a legendary mirror, all the ikuators hunting to look for it. Because it is considered that only special people can have it." Rayyan.

"But sister, instead of brother, got here using that mirror. But why did you lose that thing?" ask Bimora.

Airli sighed softly, while remembering what happened.

"Behold Bimora, when I got to this place I was so panicked and confused. Plus I met the tiger right after the wolf, so I forgot about the mirror." Obviously Airli to Bimora.

"But...," Airli hung his words.

"But why?" ask Bimora.

Rayyan could see Airli as if to say something but hesitated.

"Let's just say, if you're still covering something up from us how can we help you find that mirror." Rayyan.

Airli thought for a moment, what Rayyan said did have a point. In this place only those he knows, and maybe they can also help him to find the mirror to quickly return home. What's wrong with trying to believe, right?.

"So when I was in the woods where I met Bimora, I saw something before, but in a way I thought it was quite strange." Airy started trying to explain.

"What's that weird thing you mean?" ask Rayyan.

Airli answered Rayyan's question by practicing directly what he did when looking for the mirror earlier. Putting his right hand on the ground. And quickly the picture again appeared, as Airli saw earlier.

"I saw that" Airli told Rayyan and Bimora. He pointed at the picture that was in front of his eyes.

"What did you see?" bimora asked in curiosity.

"Didn't you see Bimora? This picture is right in front of us." Said Airli who was even confused.

"That's called the technique of tracking Airli, the technique of tracking each of the ikuators is different but clearly only the owner of Iku can see it." Rayyan told Airli again.

"So you really can't see this?" tanya Airli made sure again.

"Yes brother. Then, what did you see in the woods where we met earlier?" bimora asked, reminding them of their discussion earlier.

Airli raised back his hand that touched the ground, then folded his legs to speak seriously.

"I saw a woman in a red cap taking the mirror." Airli.

"Did you remember his face?" ask Rayyan.

Airli shook his head slowly.

"He wears a cloth, to cover his face. But I remember, he was wearing a red hairpin." Obviously Airli again.

"A hair clip can not be used as a clue, because hair clamps can be a lot on the market" said Bimora.

"Yes, but if it's like this, Airli will still be able to track its existence. Besides, I'm sure the person who took the mirror won't be able to hold it for long, because the mirror isn't just anyone can hold it."

"It is necessary to use a very large amount of energy for an ikuator. Only the master level ikuator begins to be able to cope with the pressure of the mirror."

Airli who listened to Rayyan's explanation was a little confused.

"But Yan, I can hold that mirror. And the power of the mirror is light, there's no pressure." Said Airli.

"You held the mirror when you were in your place, and at that time you were not yet an ikuator. But now that you're an ikuator, things will be different of course." Rayyan again.

It was also true what Rayyan said. I don't know why Airli realized something. There might be a reason why he got here. Dragged to a place that might be different dimensions with his life. But what is clear is, Airli must know the reason.

"Am I what I have here useable?" tanya Airli thought.

"Of course" Rayyan said directly.

"There are no useless iris, all of them have different powers according to the type of Iku they have. All that needs to be done is to train him in order to get an increase to increase the core level of that strength. An iku becomes useless when the owner is lazy to practice and develop the iku itself" explained Rayyan at length.

"Do you want to help me improve my elbow? And looking for that mirror?" asked Airli in a soft voice.

"Of course, brother, we'll help you find that mirror. But, when it comes to training your elbow it seems like the teachers in MITAMA academy are more experts. Because as you saw yesterday, I am still in the trouble of controlling myself. How do you train others?" Bimora was followed by a quick laugh.

Rayyan and Airli who heard that also laughed.

"Jude eat first, the fish is getting cold. If it's done, we can continue this conversation" Bimora said again.

Airli nodded, then began to eat the grilled fish that Bimora had given him earlier. Although without any seasoning but the grilled fish is very tasty according to Airli.

Either because he is hungry or indeed the taste of the fish is delicious.

☘️☘️☘️

After the meal, Airli and Rayyan and Bimora continued their journey. This time they decided to walk away, because the prediction of the plant Bimora thousand recovery is located not far from where they rested earlier.

Airli walked slowly, the road they passed was quite slippery plus the existing grass was as high as their calves.

"Are you sure it's not far away, Bimora?" asked Airli, his gaze swept around.

The state of the forest is very dark, only the radiance from the moon light is as a light. Until they saw a bluish glow from the end of the road not far from where they were standing.

"It looks like it's the light from the fruit of a thousand recoveries" Bimora said.

"Are you sure Bimora?" ask Airli.

Bimora nodded, then sped up her pace. Followed by Rayyan and then Airli at the very back.

"Eh ehh wait! Just stay" protested Airli.

"Well, it should be ladies first." Gerrutu Airli again. But Bimora and Rayyan chose not to respond.

☘️☘️☘️

"Masha Allah.

"What is this that you say is the fruit of a thousand recoveries?" ask Airli to Bimora.

"Yes, I think we got lucky today. For there are many thousand trees of restoration bearing fruit today. Because this fruit usually bears fruit only once every ten years, that's even just one fruit from each tree." Rayyan explained.

"Oh so, so grateful that we came when this tree bears fruit" cried Airli.

"Your sister, but what amazes me even more is that this thousand-recovery fruit tree there are many in this place. Because I know, usually this fruit can only grow one in one region. It took a few hundred meters for the other trees to grow as well, but here it seems different" Bimora explained.

Airli did not respond to Bimora's words, he instead turned to glance at Rayyan who had been silent.

Feeling noticed, Rayyan immediately raised her eyebrows as if asking the intent of the gaze from Airli.

"No intention to talk that way, Yan? Just a feeling of silence, fasting, speaking?" sindir Airli's.

Not answering Airli's words just now, Rayyan instead directly made a field of protection in the area where they were. The field serves to protect them so that they cannot be tracked by anyone.

"What's up, brother?" bimora asked a little worried. Because if Rayyan has made a field of protection like this, of course, not without reason.

"I felt a movement towards this place" Rayyan explained.

"Who wants to come here?" asked Airli innocently.

Rayyan looked at Airli.

"Of course, I can clearly feel that they are an ikuator of a higher level than us." Rayyan again.

"We better get the fruit right away, and go straight back to the academy." Rayyan's Advice.

"All right, brother,"

Not waiting for long, Bimora immediately moved to fly using his flying drink to retrieve the thousand recovery fruits. The oval-shaped fruit is white with a bluish light that Bimora can easily take. After getting it, Bimora immediately stored it in his storage.

"Sister, let's go back to the academy!" bring Bimora.

Rayyan nodded then started to walk after Bimora. Rayyan also keeps a field of protection in their travel area.

Airli who realized it immediately moved following Bimora. Even he walked with big strides because he did not want to be left too far behind.

But still a few steps they walked, Airli heard a voice. That voice he recognized.

"DAUGHTER PLEASE!!!"

"PLEASE!!"

"DAUGHTER HELP ME PRINCESS!!"

"Dove," muttered Airli.

Airli was still doubtful about what he had heard just now, so he decided to keep going.

The pigeon fell right in front of him.

"HIDE!!" peekkik Airli because of shock.

Airli immediately carried the pigeon that fell to the ground.

Rayyan who saw it also approached the pigeon. While Bimora only stands not far from the two.

"Why do you dove?" tanya Airli was very worried.

"This pigeon was injured" Rayyan said after examining the animal.

"Is he treatable?" ask Airli to Rayyan.

Rayyan fell silent. Trying to channel his energy to the pigeon, but strangely as if rejected, the channeling is unacceptable to the pigeon.

"Take me away Princess! Someone was about to kill me," explained the pigeon with great difficulty.

"Who wants to kill you? Who's dove?" tanya Airli is getting panicked.

"Can you hear this pigeon talk?" asked Rayyan in surprise. Because he saw Airli like he was chatting with the animal.

Airli nodded quickly in response. Seeing that Rayyan immediately glanced at Bimora, as if understanding the meaning of the gaze of the older brother, Bimora immediately approached.

Not long after Rayyan again issued the core of his strength.

"What do you want to do with Yan?" ask Airli.

"We need to get to the academy immediately." Reply Rayyan.

Not long after Bimora gave Rayyan a drink. Rayyan quickly drank it.

A few seconds later Rayyan started to activate her teleportation skill.

"Teleportation technique!!!"

With a quick movement Rayyan instantly pulled Airli using her Iku to enter into the teleportation followed by Bimora behind her.

Airli who was shocked by Rayyan's rapid movements can only resign. Yes, in his mind right now is only the safety of the pigeon.

"May you be well dove," muttered Airli inwardly.

"This dove must be saved" Rayyan said.
