The CURSE: Deadly Games

● THIRTY ●

"The Emeamore Dezoido Vasida!" yelled Baylor reading his own writing on a blank paper full of scribbles and crosshairs, lines connecting one by one the letters of his invention that failed for hours or even days.

He then repeated from the beginning of the book and searched for the alphabets he meant and rewrote them to the end carefully.

"Mistakably, Emeamore Dezoido Vasida," he read carefully considering that it was rather difficult to pronounce without spaces and languages he had never seen, which he himself did not know the meaning.

"I have to tell them. Ele must be happy," he muttered with a small smile leaving his chair with his book and scribbled paper tucked inside.

His intention to open the door he paled when he saw the number of hours that had gone through the journey to meet the number 2 midnight. It was a pity to wake Eleanor up this early in the morning who had suffered great hardship not long before and was certainly tired. He himself did not know if the time he spent sitting staring at the book. Only now did the fatigue spread back to his already stiff muscles as he continued to sit in the same place for a long time.

Baylor turned around and threw himself in any direction on the spacious bed with the mysterious book in his arms. Not long after, Baylor had fallen asleep along with the day he had been through.

***

The next day....

"Baylor!!!!" a woman shouted with a door blow using her fist.

Baylor was shocked because the peace of his sleep that was accompanied by dream flowers suddenly shattered with a voice piercing his ear. He did not even have time to slowly open his eyes that people always do when they first wake up. Baylor immediately got out of his bedroom bed and opened the door for Eleanor, the lady who shouted her name earlier.

"baby! The bay! The bay!" exclaimed Eleanor while directly showing a white paper that looks stain on it right after the door was opened.

Baylor's vision is still blurry because the eye fluid that comes out after waking up makes him unable to see clearly. He took the paper from Eleanor's grasp, which he had been thrusting, and narrowed his eyes. Slowly the letters are visible.

"Emeamore Dezoido Vasida?" baylor asked with narrow eyes that were still trying to read more clearly.

"Yeah! Favid found it" said Eleanor as she pointed at the man standing behind her from the start with a big smile.

"I found it too. I've been finding it since 2, but I don't want to disturb your deep sleep" Baylor said.

Although he was happy, in his heart he was jealous to see Favid who first told Eleanor even though he had found her early this morning. Moreover, Eleanor continued to praise and give a smile to Favid.

"Oh, huh?" eleanor was amazed by her two enlarged eyes.

"Yes, come in."

Baylor nods his head and invites Eleanor and Favid to come in and discuss further in his room.

All three sit on a mattress because they know the process of tracing this is not easy and will definitely take a long time, so it is more appropriate to sit in a soft place than hard like a chair.

"How did you find this spell?" eleanor asked curiously to see that the two had found her as easily.

"Look at this typo. As Favid said before, there are irregularities here" Baylor said, pointing to a word in the book.

"I originally thought typing was common. But after I saw, the wrong word was too far from the letter with the previous letter in the typing board both keyboard and typewriter of old times. Like the words 'princessi', 's' and 'i' are not close on any keyboard.

Moreover, it turns out that the typing is very much wrong, and if we eliminate only one letter, the word is immediately perfectly formed. So more precisely not a typing error, but the addition of a word that seems intentional," explained Baylor long once expressed all his knowledge.

"That's just your assumption, right? Not necessarily true. It may have been unintentional" Eleanor said.

"Yes! But I don't think it's wrong that we try" Baylor replied, followed by a nod to Favid's agreement.

"Then how do you use it?" asked Eleanor who was impatient to resolve her suffering all this time, which was not even clear why it could exist within her.

"It seems, but just like it, this is just in my opinion. Every mystery must be connected, and as we know, there are still other mysteries besides this." Finally, Favid said something after Baylor took the opportunity to explain it earlier.

"Cheri?" ask Baylor who quickly understood what Favid meant.

Favid assented it with a nod of his head.

"meaning?" asked Eleanor who did not quite understand took turns looking at the two who were on her left and right side because she did not have time during her life to think about something illogical.

No one answers Eleanor's question because it's hard to re-explain the brain of a mystery puzzle to someone who doesn't know the basics.

"It looks like we have to cast the spell like the witch. Right you mean it, Favid?" tanya Baylor whose brain is more connected with Favid than Eleanor.

"Yes!" reply Favid who started seriously in this joint discussion. "Cherry, hand. Maybe he meant to put a hand over the hole and say the spell" he said.

Eleanor immediately opened her mouth to form the letter 'A' noiseless who understood with a brief explanation of Favid. Meanwhile, Baylor seemed ordinary because he also had a chance to terbesit that a moment ago.

"All right! Let's try it," asked Eleanor who was excited and immediately opened the book that had been lying there for a long time, since Baylor hugged in her sleep.

Eleanor immediately opened her middle page. As the second opinion, Eleanor tried to put down her hand and recited the mantra a little stammering while reading it from the white paper given by Favid because he was not used to saying it, even the first time.

"Try both hands, Ele. We have to try everything as much as we can" Baylor said.

Eleanor only accepted her input with a discouraged heart. It seems he can predict what will happen next. He placed his hands next to each other and once again uttered his mantra.

CLING!!!

Could succeed? Unreal. A picture came out of the circle of the black hole.

"Love?"

The image twisted itself shortly after coming out. Here's how it shows.

At first there were two pictures of love. Then slowly the two loves just blend together, becoming one love. Then after only one love left, the impression disappeared back like sand coming out of the hand. A new riddle was given again.

"Already, ah. I'm really tired!" eleanor then stood up and took the TV remote and opened it.

Baylor and Favid are a little happy. Both felt this was a new development that he had to solve again. It's better to have hundreds of puzzles than to just let them search without a clue.

"Why did the show just show up now? Why didn't Ele put her hand down from the beginning?" muttered Baylor while closing his eyes to recall the picture of the moment.

But neither did Favid give up. He was like Baylor, asking himself every question.

"Two, two, two," he murmured incessantly until he thought of a light.

"Lor," he called out to wake Baylor up from the rotation of his own brain. "Could ...be two hands of different people?" ask Favid when Baylor has opened his eyes.

"People who are in love with each other?" added Baylor after recalling the shape of the heart in the show. Love must be all about love and compassion, everyone knows that.

The two looked at each other long enough for Baylor to call Eleanor who was watching TV while sitting on the front sofa.

"Ele?" call Baylor in a low tone and a little agitated. He shook his marked hand telling him to come.

Eleanor just stared lazily and came towards them without saying from her mouth. When Eleanor got to the edge of the bed, she was surprised to hear the question Baylor asked. He did not know what to answer, he always stayed away from the question, like a mortal enemy.

"Who of us do you like?" asked Baylor in a nervous tone. This is what he was worried about since he knew the meaning of the show.

Eleanor just looked at their faces. His eyes looked terrified and his face began to blacken, like blood was no longer flowing in his body.

"Come, Ele. We need that to get in. We both like you, you know that. You're the only one who can decide" Baylor said. He himself was afraid and wanted to avoid this moment.

Meanwhile, Favid, actually he already knows Eleanor's answer without having to question it. He only prepares his mind and mentality to be strong and not easily destroyed later.

Eleanor simply closed her mouth and swallowed her saliva very hard. All his saliva seemed to have been swallowed until it felt very dry in his tongue.

"The person who loves each other who can enter by putting his hands together and reciting his mantra," Baylor explained further so that Eleanor understands her current state.

For a few moments just a tense silence and silence. Eleanor's heart raced incoherently since that question. His index finger slowly floated and chose towards the man, the man who had accompanied him all this time, the man he loved and his best friend, Baylor.

He has known his feelings for a long time, but he fears their friendship will be ruined when they arise when the two no longer like and are bored. That was why he did not want to and strongly denied his feelings.

Soon Baylor was about to cry, not the outrageous sadness but happiness. His hand was stretched out, waiting for Eleanor's hand to rest on it.

"Wanna try it?" ask Baylor.

Eleanor put her hand down slowly and nodded in embarrassment because the unexpected confession was too fast compared to her shadow.

Favid as he should have been, he was sick and heartbroken. But this time it didn't seem as painful as before. He tried to smile even though it was bitter.

The two moved their hands together over the black hole. Simultaneously they spoke the mantra.

"The Emeamore Dezoido Vasida!"

"The Emeamore Dezoido Vasida!"

"The CURSE: Deadly Games. Finish it then you'll be free or you'll die. The book must remain open or you will be trapped inside forever. Ohhaha." A voice came out from the hole, it was a scary sound.

Syutttttt~

Suddenly the two disappeared into the black hole along with the mysterious voice earlier. Their bodies were momentarily shrunk to nothing with an enlarged bright white light.
