The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)

Taja left.
”Where to?” Merald didn't follow. Just watching Taja move to the lower plains.
”I'm down for a minute!” said Taja moving away, nimble his figure towards the foothills of the nest of the bush.
”Taja, let's go back to Euryn!” pinta Merald felt suddenly uncomfortable, "Khameswari is with me!”
There is no answer from Taja other than the wind as breezes get louder. The Phardabian-wide thatch felt gripping in Merald's solitude. The robe of Khameswari she wore was scattered. Merald couldn't stand the cold entering his body.
”Taja, I'm back to Euryn!” merald shouted and looked towards the last direction Taja disappeared down there.
”You heard no?” merald replied in silence.
The wind is blowing strong. The tops of the trees are winding. Suddenly the fog swept around the place. Merald didn't want to be there any longer. He was about to leave.
”Merald?” a little late, Taja returned to the last position of Merald with him. But he did not find Elhundi Laotheri there anymore. The fog disguised the view, making it very difficult to find the whereabouts of Merald barely left a trace.
”Merald!” call Taja in all directions.
Meanwhile, Merald realizes he is lost. He's never been out of Euryn so far. He stopped and was confused as the fog blocked his view. He did not even remember the previous road.
Sometimes Merald looked back in case Taja followed. However, there was no sign of Taja appearing except rustling but not caused by strong winds. A dark green shadow flashed among the moving groves of tree branches that caught his eyes.
”Taja?!”
Merald. The shadow became increasingly visible and disappeared behind the branches.
Zcjsssh ...!
There was a hissing sound mingling the wind sweeping the leaves. The more clearly a creature approached. Merald is holding Khameswari. Then he took off the spell.
”Maramat-naraaam!”
Merald spread his arms wide, appearing a circle of light from twice the height of his body. The light shimmered up to a radius of tens of feet.
”Aohyohaaan-nooh-mein ...!"
The second spell is cast from Merald's words, immediately in the grip of the power of his palm made the ball of light even bigger until the entire Phardabian was bright as if there was a small sunrise in the night that was too early from the real dawn.
Merald's concentration was split, his pair of glare eyes dabbled in the center of light he had created himself.
Crash ...!!!
One loud crackle again sounded. A shadow shot from the grass. Merald's spell center was broken. Suddenly the ball of light broke because of it. Then once he turned his head back, suddenly the shrubbery full of shadows on his body instantly lunged from the unfathomable darkness. Simultaneously the figure swung an object of golden gleaming pointy.
”Aaargh ..!”
Merald did not dodge in the sudden attack. He fell down with the figure as well, rolling into a thicket full of little-sized thorns. Last time, one breath snorted from the figure wrapped in Khameswari.
”Enyah!” a scream suddenly appeared and attacked Merald.
Standing firm, the body wrapped in sharp roots and dangling leaves. Apparently, Dakka's showing up. A pair of pointed eyes upwards glared sharply. He approached Merald immersed in the thicket. Dropped limp in Merald's body except for his fingers sticking out from under Khameswari's robe.
There was no sound other than Merald whimpering, barely audible. The wind blows the leaves.
”A-aryasha .. a-aryasha ...."
Dakka was about to attack again, but heard the moans behind the thicket of the bush, so it turned out. The hairy roots of the leaves were bushy all over Dakka's body, slowly shrinking.
”Haillae ..!” shocked Dakka heard the voice behind Khameswari's robe.
”Haillae ...!!!” widened Dakka's eyes, especially when he saw the face behind the cloak exposed. Seraut's face, gradually turned into the figure of Merald.
”Elhundi Laotheri!” his surprise became even more when he recognized the figure of Merald. Trembling Dakka stared at the golden heirloom that had been thrust into Merald's chest.
Merald had raised his fingers shaped like flower petals. For a moment, after that he did not dwell anymore.
”Elhundi Merald!” pekik Dakka deeply regrets what he did.
In a state of panic, suddenly another figure appeared and saw the incident. Apparently Elkas witnessed what happened to Merald due to Dakka's actions.
”Dakka?! What are you ...,” Elkas stopped his steps, seeing Merald's body not wrinkled before his eyes.
”You have killed him!” Elkas jerks. Welcomed Dakka's face full of misgivings.
Seeing Merald's body limp and lifeless, the two panicked. Not long after, someone appeared from another direction. Apparently Taja, suddenly stopped his steps, found Dakka and Elkas at the side of Merald's body lying covered with Khameswari covered with golden red blood.
”You?!” Taja was surprised to see Dakka and Elkas there.
”Merald!” even more surprised when Taja saw a dagger-like weapon, stuck in Merald's chest.
Taja glared sharply at Dakka and Elkas.
”What have you done to him?! You killed Merald!”
Dakka swallowed his own saliva. Elkas shook his head heavily. The wind was blowing ever more berserkly, the reflection of incredible energy among the three human figures with the cultivation of the forest elf, emitting anger respectively.
Dakka originally regretted for wrongly attacking, now turned angry. His eyes looked at Taja.
”This is accidental! My brother didn't mean to kill him,” Elkas defended Dakka against Taja in a confrontation.
”Dakka who has done this?” Taja did not retreat, not at all afraid of a pair of eyes Dakka glared furiously at him like merciless.
”We're brothers. Dakka, Taja and I!” said Elkas again. Dakka was furious.
”You, The Journalist. Makes me hate you like this. Who would have thought Elhundi Laotheri was wearing your Khameswari robe!”
“So, actually you intend to kill me?!” Taja gaped in surprise as well as the peak of anger.
"Dakka, you're a murderer!" jerit Taja's. Dakka immediately attacked with a single shock of his body towards Taja.
"Heaaargh ...!"
”Dakka, stop!” Elkas tries to block the fight, but he falls down due to being dragged by Dakka to attack Taja with full force.
”You, the descendants of the Jew. Get away from Gunggali!” dakka shouted as the strength of her roots threw Taja's body into the ground. Both rolled and twisted each other.
"Dakka, that much you hate me ..," Taja persisted in the entanglement of Dakka's bodily roots.
”Tidaaak!” Elkas was late preventing. Both were thrown into a thick, thorny grove. Red blood seeped from Taja's back as a result of Dakka's claw.
”It's worth it for you!” mercilessly, Dakka blindly punched him.
”Aaargh ..!” Taja did not dwell under the grip of Dakka. Once again, Dakka intended to plunge the fingers of his roots sticking out of Taja's face.
”Rei-ghau-aratee!”
One spell spoke out loud, the blue wind flowing from an unexpected direction, as fast as the light hit Dakka so it bounced away. His body shrunk frozen to the root bone. Luckily, a woman quickly came and saved Taja.
”Mother ...,” shimmered Dakka in place of falling on the ground. That woman is none other than Shammure.
”Then you did, Dakka!” snapping Shammure before switching on the lying Merald, ”Elhundi Laotheri!”
Shammure reveals body wrapped in Khameswari robes. His face suddenly turned pale from being too tense. Realizing a poisonous heirloom that hit Merald's chest.
"Where did you get this poisonous heirloom, Dakka?" it's not wrong Shammure accused Dakka of stabbing Merald. The poisonous heirloom was certainly Dakka who got it out of nowhere.
"Buck you!" Shammure trembled in fear and panic. He looked at Elkas, Dakka, and Taja. Turning at dawn seems to be coming soon from the far east.
”Quick you guys get out of here!” shammure orders Elkas, Dakka, and Taja.
Trying to get up.
”Just do my command, get out of here!” snapped Shammure harder.
Elkas doesn't dare to deny anything anymore. Then he pulled Dakka to leave the place immediately. Finally, they disappeared behind the weeds. Except for Taja, crawl towards Shammure.
”Do not touch! It's very poisonous. Go, Elhundi Taja. Go back to Euryn!” shammure Order. The way he looked, there was guilt. But there was no longer enough time to talk to each other under such circumstances.
Once again Taja wanted to reach Merald, Shammure more quickly rejected.
”Back to Euryn! It's my responsibility" Shammure ordered.
Taja's eyes were filled with tears, looking at Merald's body on Shammure's lap. A burst of white petals engulfed the woman carrying Merald in a moment of disrepair.
