Episode 19 - Special Talent

One day in the Kingdom of Sterm,

“Hah hah, let's speed up your steps, they're getting closer,” said a man.

They were crashing into the wilderness of the Kingdom of Sterm where not many people dared to take the risk to enter. Like feeling the turmoil of their anxiety, the sun who was peeking also fled slowly. The atmosphere of the dark evening gives them both advantages and misfortunes. The advantage is that the pursuers will be more difficult to find them where the misfortune is that they are in the forest without lighting at all.

“Uncle, I'm tired,” said a boy in their entourage. Then they carried the boys so that the movement would be smoother.

“Disana! Fast!” The front man of the chase squad saw the whereabouts of those who had stopped earlier from a distance.

“Ah, let's hide there.” The man directed them all to hide in a cave under a cliff. When entering a few meters, they met a branch that with no thought, the man took the left path even though he did not know where he was going and what they were going to face.

They ran while fumbling the dark cave walls. After feeling deep enough, they stopped behind a large rock close to the cave wall. The stone soared with a thickness that is not how sharp but on the top. The boys were covered in fear in the arms of each carrier. They know that this is not the right time to make crying sounds.

“Huft ... huft ..” They all set their breaths so as not to be heard by the pursuer.

“Huh, go where they are,” said the head of the chase squad, “Hey you guys, come out! Or I'll finish you off where you meet,” shouted the boss while twirling his body monitor to all corners of the forest. The other members of the army began to split up.

“There is a cave, maybe they are hiding inside,” shouted one of the team members who directed his light transmitter to the cliff wall. The message is delivered from mouth to mouth to the ear of the boss. Soon he ordered some of his troops to surround the cave while others remained on guard.

The troops who surrounded the cave then began to enter looking for their fugitives.

“Bos, there are three paths ahead. Where are we going?” ask the pursuing members who entered the cave first. The boss ordered to divide the three troops and enter each branch. The boss himself got into the middle lane with five other people.

They were accompanied by a lighting device which they brought into the branch slowly and carefully. “Come out before we first find you, otherwise we will not have mercy anymore,” each team says the same thing.

*tap. Taps. Taps. *The team that took the left lane stepped deeper and closer to the position of the man earlier. The rays from their lighting tools had already begun to reach the bottom of the cave near the rock where they were hiding. The light got closer and began to raise the concerns of the man and his friends.

The man tried to find another hiding place that was not too far away so as to allow them to move places quickly without being noticed by the chase team. Thanks to the light from the pursuers, he managed to see a way out but was at great risk. He thought that if he were to die for taking that path it would be better than dying at the hands of those pursuers.

“Sst.. Listen to me, you see that?” point the man to the end of the cave in the form of a ravine. This was realized after the pursuers directed the light from their lighting devices to the end of the cave. Not a visible dead end, but the shadow from the bottom of the cave where they set foot now decided the rays hitting the cave wall and the bottom of the cave. The man assumed that it was a ravine.

“They are getting closer, we have no choice but to go there,” the man continued.

“Ta-but ...,” a woman replied.

“Nothing but-button, at the moment we have no other choice. We'd rather fall from that abyss than die in their hands." The doubt that had appeared had already turned into a belief. When to move,

“Eww what is this?” said a pursuer who stepped on the liquid somewhat sticky like mucus. The man and his entourage were jolted when they heard the voice of the pursuer so they sat back down for fear of being caught.

“What's up?” ask other members. Sress. The mucus is increasing and reaching a distance that is getting farther. They retreated little by little not wanting to step on that slime. The man and his friends were still sitting in their original places. Noticing the rays getting further away, they began to slowly crawl towards the ravine at the end of the cave. However, just taking a few steps, they felt the bottom of the cave move.

Grrrr. Setts. Gruduk. The longer, the bottom of the cave was tilted and made them slump slowly to the end of the cave.

“Erm ..., that ..., m-creature a-what is it?” find one of the pursuers.

“Aaaaaa!” the bottom of the cave they were sitting in moved and they were quickly sucked into could not hold any more positions. The stone they were hiding in was wide, the sharp edges separated into five parts with a membrane between each other. Yeah, it's the fin of the creature the pursuer saw. The animal awakens after receiving light stimuli that disturb it.

“B-turn! Lariii!” shouted the pursuer member directing.

On the other hand,

“Your special talent! Try using your talent, fast!” a woman shouted at the man who was falling to the bottom of the abyss.

“I'm not sure!” answer the man.

“Do it! Fast!” force the woman. They were getting closer to the bottom of the abyss and it was certain that death would come to them if it got there at such speed.

“Kyaaaaa!!”

Whussss. The man managed to use his talent right before they kissed the bottom of the abyss. With whatever happens, their consciousness is gone. The talent of the man had taken them somewhere, which definitely managed to save them from death.
