Tales Of Schaduw: The Half - Elf

Chapter 18: The Elegant Morning

When the sun rises from the horizon, the birds vigorously awaken from their night sleep and fight against the beautiful whistles while flapping their tiny wings. Tempak merrily chattered a group of sparrows, jumped softly and perched in a tree branch. The herd was engrossed in discussing a place with a expanse of flower juices and seeds of ripe fruit ready to be eaten in the beautiful morning.

I woke up and looked out the window, the flowers in the field wet with the morning dew that had left a wet smell, the shady trees swaying, being blown by thousands of troops of cool wind so that it emits a shady atmosphere of every twig, branch, stem, and green leaves as if displaying the pantonyms of nature and melodies of soul breadfruit builders who are still asleep in a dream.

“Kakak..” The melodious sound like a symphony of beauty humming a joke.

“Sister, is sister awake?” I know this voice very well.

“Sister! When you wake up please open the door.” He said a little annoyed. He who had called me as a brother, was none other than my beloved sister, Saigiri.

“Yes, I'm awake. I'll change clothes in a moment.” Reply lazily.

“Quick open the door Kak.”

“Hey what do you want?! Wanna peek at me change my clothes? Come in here, I'll show you something.” My canda.

“It's not so Brother!! Brother sucks! If you don't come down, I'll leave first!” He was very upset, but I know for sure now his face is red. I like to tease him the most, because his face looks funny and moreover he often misbehaves himself.

“Depart first?”Mumamku confused.

“Wait For Saigiri! What event is there today?” I asked from behind the door to stop her footsteps.

“So I forgot ya? If today is the release of some students of Green Flower Academy.”

“Huh!! Release your words?” I was confused by his words.

“Yes release, today those students will be transferred to one of the headquarters academy, Purple Lotus Academy.” His word.

“Really I don't understand it, wait a minute I'll be done soon.” I put a knife and some fruits in my waist bag for breakfast.

“It's done?’ Saigiri asked after I opened my room door.

“Iya already, can you explain in more detail?”

“You mean about earlier?” Her speech.

“Later I will explain on the road, for now let's quickly leave! Everyone has been waiting for us from earlier!” Tukas Saigiri's.

“Iya, yes. Basic female chatty.” My ejek.

“Let's!” His words left me and ran madly down the stairs.

“Hey wait.” Told chase.

Arriving at the ground floor, I glanced towards the garden. Usually the father is there, enjoying the morning with a cup of coffee and a sheet of village information paper, researching each news, and solving it if there is a village problem. Indeed, that is his duty, because he is one of the retired village guards and is very respected by the villagers.

Although it is old, but it can not be denied any more physical strength. Just yesterday during the Zardock raid, he was able to hold Zardock and distract him from the village. He was able to clash with Zardock alone, although not strong enough to defeat him. But the father had given little time to prepare the village army to defeat Zardock.

But as far as the eye could see I could find none of his nose. Unlike usual, maybe the father also took part in the release of the Green Flower Academy disciples. He is also one of the alumni and lecturers at the academy.

“Are you looking for dad?” Ask Saigiri.

“Yes, are you coming too?”

“Pastilah, I left first this morning blind. He said he wanted to eat mother first and accompanied some village elders to prepare for the release of disciples.” The answer.

I was also pensive for a while, after realizing that my mother was also killed in the tragedy. At that time Zardock cleverly directed one of his attacks right towards the hideout and it resulted in all the villagers who were in that place being killed, including the mother.

“I'm sorry, if I had been stronger that time, I would have saved my mother and the villagers.” Languid.

“Already Brother, let the past pass. Now is the time to rise up and keep trying to become stronger again, so that we can save even more lives.” The whisper of Saigiri while tightly hugging my body.

“I'll always be by your side, Kak.” Its effects.

“Promise... I will always take care of you, even though life is at stake.” I gently stroked her hair, and I whispered those words.

Saigiri simply replied with a relieved smile and a tiny tear welled up in his eyelids. Looks beautiful sparkling, what a soothing sight.
