The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 142

“O.... Very big this place.”

Sean's eyes pointed here and there, looking at the entire palace. The door that opened wide earlier, as if allowing Sean to enter.

“This palace is big. The floor is like glass. The pillars rose up, lined up all over the altar. Like a mahligai pillar, which in purpose became a palace row, a perfect buffer. This building was in the air, not standing on the ground. Sculptures also decorate this place. Then, why is there no one I meet here.”

So, Sean increasingly does not understand about the secrets in this place.  It was as if he was led into a dimension, where he had to solve the mystery behind it all. Without a clue though. Sean had to exert his entire brain, in order to solve all the mysteries in this place.

Sean stepped his feet even deeper, entering the palace more and more. I don't know where it's going, just follow the steps. Every wall of this magnificent mahligai, all carved with embossed paintings. The paintings were very slick, including one of the birds of paradise, which Sean had seen outside the palace earlier. Golden phoenix, winged fire. Sean clearly remembered it.

All right, Sean's not going to talk about it, where there's a lot of mystery in it. Sean was just focused, on the place that took him somewhere. He just followed his steps. I don't want to think about anything outside of that.

Ligong, the black one didn't give him any cues either. Forced, Sean must solve his confusion alone. This impasse, bringing Sean felt a bit dizzy instead of pustulous.

“We're there,” take Sean to Ligong. “I think we'll find somewhere else. I mean, way out of here.”

In front of Sean was like a large hall, on his right and left side was another large door. In front of him, there was another door. But on the doorstep there are some eyes of the stairs, Sean there.

“I hope, there, we find another way,” Sean said slowly to Ligong.

Just like before, the door leaf opened by itself, when Sean had arrived several meters in front of the top of the stairs.

“Again,” muttered Sean slowly. “Always put it this way.”

Jessica looked back, towards the big door of the palace. After giving up longing with Eed, now the unexpected thing he got.

Someone's coming over here, where he's standing. The door leaf was wide open, making Jessica know who the owner of the body shadow was.

“Sean?” yelled Jessica gleeful. He ran, heading towards Sean. Jessica didn't look wrong, the shadow belonged to Sean.

Behind the foggy white light, Jessica was very familiar with Sean's proportional body shape.

“Hey..... Jessica?” reply Sean surprised.

Followed by Edward, Jessica approaches Sean. Sean was surprised, the two were together. In one place, in this magnificent mahligai.

“You.... Oo.”

Sean gaped, his two friends actually look happy.

“Sean. You...”

“Of course it's me,” reply Sean on Jessica's remark. Sean's eyes glanced at Edward, as if he couldn't believe it was his friend. “Are you and Eed...”.

“We just met, not long ago. And you, we finally meet here. God bless us Sean, we are destined to stay together.”

Edward said, Jessica nodded. Justifying Edward's words.

“Contact...”.

Edward immediately hugged Sean, as the boy wanted to talk again. Sean, he's not resisting. Although Sean most dislikes physical contact with men, Sean did not deny it this time. Sean hugged Edward's heart, in other words, the two let go of each other's longing together.

The old man sitting on his crown throne, smiled faintly. Nodding slowly when he saw Sean. And, the old man also felt happy to see the three together.

“Great Lord. Are you happy to see that boy?” ask Crypto curious.

Lord Shutanhamun massaged his white beard. Again, he smiled kindly.

“Finally he came to me after a long time I waited. He's my heir. Of course I am very happy to see him here,” he said acknowledging his happiness.

Those people's views, now back to Sean. The teenager who had just arrived, his facial expression was rather tired.

Sean is actually confused, because he met his friend in a strange place. However, Sean should be grateful, they are fine. True said Dewi Handita, her friend is safe in this magical city.

“Kalian. How can we meet like this? Too fast,” Sean said flat. Trying to understand the circumstances, but bringing Sean a bit confused.

“You're the slow one.” Jessica act out, sniffling speech, weird-ass behavior. Again, not yet finished Sean asked about their situation, Jessica had already touched him with a cynical speech. “You were too long on the road, so you almost lost us,” Jessica said.

“No. I mean not so.”

“You've arrived here. Meet me and Jessica. What else makes you look doubtful, man?”

Edward looked at Sean's face. Yeah, Sean knows, actually he doesn't have to doubt any of this.

Okay, Sean stopped to say how all this could have happened. This time, Sean glanced back and forth, looking at whoever was there.

Oh.... Sean was a little surprised, it turned out that the two people were already here as well. Gordon and Crypto, they still bowed, occasionally Crypto glanced at Sean.

“There's what Sean. Why are you suddenly silent?” ask Jessica curiously.

“I thought you and the two men were separated. I thought, you guys are why, because I look like...... You guys who were in that lake.”

“You mean?”

Sean shrugged both of his shoulders, he could not confirm properly for his words. Although it is clear, the bodies that left the skull look like Jessica and the others.

“Forget. You might be confused to understand it.”

Jessica is small, her face is throbbing. Sean's words passed, like a wind passing through Jessica's ear.

Sean now focuses on the face, which Sean is very familiar with. From a distance of several meters, in the middle of this red carpeted altar. Sean recognized the face. The face that often appeared in his dreams, the pretentious face authoritatively in Sean's eyes.

Sean squinted his eyes, looking at the old face standing on the three steps. In the same clothes as Sean saw in the dream, the old man folded one hand back.

“Isn't he the one in my dream?” muttered Sean slowly.

He noticed Sean clearly the face of the white-bearded old man. Sean's curiosity, brought him closer to the man who stood firm.

“You.... Wasn't it you, who was in my dream. A pretentious old man knows everything?” sean said he wanted to know, make sure it was right.

The old man just smiled, but Sean didn't need that. He needs answers. The white-grayed old man, folded one more hand behind his back. Previously, he had massaged his white beard.

Crypto who sat down bowed, glanced at Sean. A sign that he had to bow before this old man.

But Sean did not see the glance, because Sean focused on the old face of Lord Shutanhamun.

“Pardon prince Lausius Tuan. He's just a kid who doesn't understand honor.”

“He's my descendant. He had the right to act like that,” replied this old man smiling kindly.

Instead of him being angry, Crypto was answered with another remark. Crypto almost forgot, even though he is the leader of this land of paradise—quite in disdain. Not that, an exception to Lausius.

Lausius was his direct descendant, no wonder Lord Shutanhamun was not angry when Sean wondered without adab.

“Come my grandson. Come closer to me,” ask the old man to Sean.

Sean shakes. “You haven't answered my question. Why do you rule me at will,” reply Sean ketus.

“You will know the answer, if you approach me.”

“For what? Even you are nothing more than an old man.”

The old man was still authoritative, not down his ego when Sean sniffed at him. Or, he'll be mad when Sean's armpits act.

“Hah..... You are still the same as in that dream,” sigh this old man.

Gordon looked past Crypto's face, followed by a speech to the man.  Small words, only the two of them knew.

“He was the only prince who dared to say that to Lord Shutanhamun. Truly brave young Lausius.”

“Perhaps because he stayed too long in the human world, so he forgot his identity,” Crypto reply to whisper slowly.

Lord Shutanhamun then said to Gordon and Crypto. “You can stand.”

And, instantly the two stood up without a second thought. Since then, the two of them were not allowed to stand by this old man. At all.

“Im sorry servant of the great Lord. Forgive me for the carelessness of the servant, who said that Prince Lausius would not survive. Servant regrets the words of the servant earlier.”

Crypto bowed reluctantly, his brain forced to stop at the incident earlier. When he arrives at the magnificent palace, Metis clouds, Crypto delivers the news that Sean will not be able to get out of Medusa's palace.

Moreover, if Sean could survive there was a miracle.  After absorbing the light soul of Lausius, it was possible, Sean would die. That's what Crypto told Lord Shutanhamun. Obviously, he said that.

However, in fact, now Crypto is embarrassed by previous remarks.  He forcefully pulled out that baseless boasting.

“You don't have to feel guilty. You just said, according to your experience. You're right, no Lausius can survive the pursuit of the soul hunters of immortality. But an exception for my charming grandson this one.”

Lord Shutanhamun knows, the experience of escorting Lausius for Crypto is quite extensive. However, that does not mean that the last Lausius will end the same as Lausius before him. This old man knows everything. Fate, he understood this story.

“By the way, will the great Lord be angry at the prince. He is the same, always making others upset over his stubborn behavior.”

Crypto shook his head, this whisper from Gordon made him match, Actually.

“We'll see later. I'm sure, this prince will not make the great Lord angry. He's his grandson, he's Edna's son.”

Happy breaking of fast to those of you who fast. Sorry to be born and to.
