The For 1000 Years Longing
Thumped
The morning sunlight greeted from behind the window of Elvina's room, making the girl piqued from her deep sleep. With a heavy heart he breaks away from the clutches of drowsiness and laziness. His sleep last night was very good. I don't know how long he has not felt sleep that comfortable, maybe since the nightmares haunt every he closed his eyes when he was about to sleep.
Elvina stretched her body, trying to enjoy this sunny morning. Very bright and calm, as calm as last night. His eyes blinked a few times as he looked at the sun slightly uphill from behind his window. O-ow. She woke up late today.
Soon he rushed to tidy up and headed for the kitchen. Elvina was surprised when she saw that Lord Alfaroz had already accompanied grandma to cook, they were joking.
“Oh, it turns out that our Princess is awake,” greet Alfaroz with a sweet smile and a shady gaze fixed on Elvina.
Of course the greeting was enough to make Elvina who was never praised by the adam blushed and misbehaved. What, anyway, the princess of all. I just met yesterday too. Elvina tried to return her attitude to be more indifferent, although the two people who still looked at her knew clearly that Elvina was still shy.
“Ekhem!” grandma's gloom makes the limelight distraction. “Vina, quickly clean yourself first and help grandma cook,” grandma orders to Elvina. “Mr Alfaroz, you don't have to bother helping me prune like this. Let Elvina help. No noble should cook himself in
kitchen,” advanced grandma.
“It's okay, grandma. I like to help grandma,” said Alfaroz softly.
Mr. Alfaroz is very gentle. Had Elvina been in a noble family, perhaps she would have had the chance to match up with lord Alfaroz, the inner grandmother.

Meanwhile, Elvina was washing her face with a spring in the backyard. Hufftt suddenly took a deep breath. The call of ‘tuan puti’ addressed to him by Alfaroz is still ringing in his shadow. Elvina rarely talks to men, she always focuses on her job of helping grandmothers. This is what makes him awkward, embarrassed, blushed, pounding, and makes his feelings turbulent*A*ish. I know it yesterday too! He repeatedly cursed himself.
Instantly flashed in his shadow the tall, shoulder-length figure of Alfaroz with a sweet smile from his thin lips. His blue eyes sometimes sparkle, but always in a state of alert. Oi! Since when do I ride this on a man!
Elvina immediately tidied herself up and removed those ‘konyol’ shadows. Helping Grandma and Alfaroz in the kitchen with more orderly conditions.

After breakfast, Elvina and Grandma were about to go to the forest in search of firewood to sell. Of course Alfaroz forced to come along, making grandmother helpless with her gentle attitude. They go through every part of the forest. Looking for dry twigs under shady trees. Every now and then Alfaroz throws jokes to color on the sidelines of their work, joking and laughing together like a happy family.
They increasingly entered into the forest, leaving footprints on the moist soil of shady forests. However, suddenly Elvina's steps came to a halt. He stared around with concern, his keen instinct feeling that something was amiss.
"Hmm, I feel that today the forest is very quiet" said Elvina.
Alfaroz who also realized the awkwardness of the surrounding situation became more aware. Because the priority mission is to protect these two women in front of him. Alfaroz was just speechless, the joke he made had changed with a vigilant attitude, he became even more quiet.
"Ah, stop. We'll continue to look for firewood. Come on, hurry, hurry! Otherwise, tomorrow we don't have money for shopping" Grandma concluded.
They went back to looking for firewood. But when Elvina looked back, she suddenly did not find Alfaroz everywhere. He became panicked and worried if his guest disappeared because they were separated or left behind to get lost.
"Grandmother," called Elvina to Grandma who was in front of her. "Mr alfaroz is gone." His face was covered with worry. While Grandma was surprised, immediately dropped the firewood she was carrying.
"God! How could he have disappeared? Wasn't she still behind you, Vina? What if he gets lost? He's even a guest who just stayed overnight at our house." Panic covered the faces of both.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the forest, a masked man chased after the black-robed figure. Slipping among the trees in the middle of the forest, jumping from twig to twig. The masked man was finally able to chase after the black-robed figure. A fierce battle between the two was inevitable.
The two showed a faint ferocious face behind his mask and robe. The battle was soundless yet both of them moved so quickly and nimble. Both are still fighting empty-handed, their strength is a draw. Shortly after, the cloaked figure cast a spell and dozens of arrows from the flames appeared in front of him that were ready to attack. The dozens of arrows shot towards the masked man, instantly he made a twisting motion with his arms and appeared a transparent shield of light with a beautiful and unique complexion. The shield is very sturdy and able to block the fire arrows, unfortunately not able to protect the surrounding trees that were also affected by the fire arrow attack.
The attack was still being launched by the black-robed figure, as if he did not want to give the masked man a chance to fight back. The attacks were repeatedly broken by masked men. He knew clearly what the purpose of this black-robed figure was, and had to stop it immediately.
Later, an attack hit the left arm of the masked man. Not stopping there, the cloaked figure launched an attack that aimed at the foot of the masked man. The masked man, who was still a little shocked by the first attack on him, was not ready to dodge. As a result, the attack hit his thigh, the situation was enough to give a gap for the black-robed figure to escape. The masked man lost his target.
But everything still can't be said to be okay. Arrows of fire that hit the trees in the forest cause fires that began to spread everywhere. The forest beasts were running around trying to escape. Because it was now summer, the fire spread by the cepa to get close to the location of Elvina and Grandma who were panicking and scared.
The masked man was frustrated and shouted. Instantly the black clouds gathered and sent down rain with its lightning at once. The masked man was furious and furious, he failed with this little mission. But his limp body from overexerting force and being in a different dimension, made him collapse with fresh blood still pouring from his arms and thighs. I don't know, he wasn't sure if anyone would help him this time. He was too far from his home and someone he expected to help. Let's wait for the miracle to happen.
