The Chronicle Of Jawata (Compilation Trial Edition)
4. Caught
”Bah!”
Screech Lorr En, the earliest to surface. Then followed by Taja. Luckily they survived on floating wood debris.
”What just destroyed our boat?” lorr En asked, sinking many times because his body was heavier than the backwood.
Under the shadow of the giant ship, Taja and Lorr En looked up. The appearance of the giant ship was accompanied by trumpet echoes, almost grinding the two young people floating.
”Awaaas!” yelled Taja gave command to dive into the water.Two of his friends immediately went into the water when the big ship darkened
It came to the surface again.
”Neir! Lorr!” call him while looking around the surface of the water. Not long after, his body was pushed upwards. Like someone was touting from the water. It turns out that Lorr En showed up.
”Where is Neirra?” confused, Lorr En realizes someone is not with them.
Taja and Lorr En dyed in all directions. But had not been able to get away from the floating position on the spot, appeared two other large ships and surrounded the two young people.
”Neirra!” call Taja, unable to hold back when he saw her on the big ship, Neirra's body wriggling in a net-hanging snare being pulled onto the big ship.
Taja and Lorr En looked up, along the banks of the great ships had stood many people in uniform. Their looks were ruthless and of great stature, being on standby with their respective weapons. And between them threw big nets, right at the two children below.
Without having time to dodge, very quickly large nets ensnared the two children and immediately pulled onto the ship. Up there, there were boisterous cheers the people welcomed.
”Two caught! Children!” exclaiming a person who seemed to be quite feared while carrying a steel spear and a dull uniform from the skin he was wearing, the way he walked up to the children was thrown to the deck floor, the way he was, with the sound of his rusty iron shoes and. But his face is not clearly visible because of the iron helmet. Only his pair of eyes were haunted, observing the children in the tangles of webs in a drenched state.
”Captain comes soon!” exclaim a crewman from the ship's bridge. Then welcome the busyness of each. For a moment, the children were lying in the middle of the deck floor.
Some of the crew whistled while wide-eyed with the occasional saying, ”We'll harvest tomorrow morning!” there was another laugh as well.
”Taja!” Neirra was suffocated after seeing Taja's leg hurt from being scratched by a stringed net. Lorr En saw that. It looks so limp. Perlhan slowly bowed his head until he finally stumbled to the floor and was unconscious. Apparently, it wasn't just the wounds on her legs that made her bleed. There was also an arrow stuck in Taja's back.
”Taja!” lorr En exclaimed and invited the attention of the crew. Among them, a man wearing a worn helmet approached the children.
”Release us!!!” lorr En exclaimed in a language that sounded foreign and not understood by those people.
”Since this kid sizzled. Very noisy!” they said they looked at each other as they continued to observe the children alternately.
”They said what?” others were also astonished.
”Release us!” Lorr En thrashed in a net that snared strongly. From the debate, the shipwright could deduce his own answer.
”Hey, Kids! Where are you guys from?” ask the most powerful person while getting closer. Lorr Enyang was under his large tall shadow, staring back at the pair of glaring eyes behind the helmet. However, an iron spear was directly aimed right at his neck.
”Release us!” shouted Lorr En once again. But that person actually swung his fist and threw all his might into Lorr En's head.
”Lorr En!” neirra shouted as he saw Lorr En instantly limp to unconsciousness after a single loud fist smashed into his head.
”What are you doing? Who are you and what do you want?!” Neirra wanted to thrash, but the entanglement of the nets was too strong to entrap him. Even his skin was scratched. Now, the helmeted man turned to him.
One fist followed to Neirra's forehead. The sky was bright, suddenly dark.
