The Forgotten Sins

ORGANIZATION

"Mmm..., so Arna, you live in the city?" rezon asked his confusion.

"I... why? uhh, yeah I mean! I'm from the city." Answer's clumsy.

"What's the city like?" ask Rezon again. "Is the place as crowded and fun as in the story? or maybe dirty? ah.. no way! It must be clean, right?" continued.

Rezon's question got Arna gaping. It is impossible for people to not understand the state of the city. Because each city is a faint difference. Equally crowded, full of buildings, hot, that's it. 

"Yes, the city is crowded. There are many advanced technological means, also a place to play fun. Such as night markets, amusement parks, and others. There are also complete shopping malls, culinary places, baths, museums, music buildings, zoos, large libraries, wah. But there are also shortcomings, for example, in the city is too crowded. The streets are always crowded with busy people. It's too hot." Arna is long.

"Well, sometime I'll go there! The city sounds so different." Rezon said excitedly.

"Surely, you've never seen a city?"Arna could not take it anymore.

"Yes, if that's the case, it never is! But after graduation u.."

their conversation was cut off because of the sound of knocking. 

"Rezon, I'm in!" Said someone behind the door.

It was Axton. Behind him was a well-built adult man whose eyes were sharp as swordsmen.

“Aware?” Ask the guy friendly.

Arna just nodded in shame.

“Maybe this is the owner of the school or, whatever.” Thought Arna remembered that she was in a foreign place.

The man sat beside her.

"How can you be in the woods alone? you're also hurt, are you lost?”

Arna looked down deeply, He did not understand what to say. 

"I just want to go home." That's all he can say.

But in retrospect it wasn't the answer, so Arna added.

"Can I call the police?" 

"Yes, but tell me first how you were in the woods?" the man replied, calming Arna.

“I shouldn't be in the forest, at first I..” 

Arna told me about the incident in detail. Starting from the arrival of masked troops to the kidnapping and detonation of buildings. The man just nodded .

“Crown snake emblem?” ask the man to repeat the word he said.

Arna nodded, her eyes looking at the man meaningfully. Just like Axton, he even asked such a trivial thing. 

“Where is your family besides Mom?” asked the man with a comforting smile.

Arna looked down deeply, the confusion changed with resentment when Brother Rabka and Father died. Coupled with the feeling of losing a mother, the hatred burned all over her body.

“Father lost in the Medhi Sea while running training three weeks ago and sister.” He fell silent. 

There was something in his eyes, but the tears did not want to drip. He only sighed as the puddle dried up again. However, he recalled the funeral of his two loved ones plus the kidnapping of Mother.

“Killed in front of my eyes during the bombing incident on the market.” His thoughts had drifted away on his birthday which turned into the day of the death of many. 

The man looked at Axton and Rezon then they both looked back at each other and nodded inexplicably. But he had seen Axton's sister smiling cynically just now. He also muttered something, but Arna could not hear it.

“Try you to tell me about the market bombing moments!” Said the man to her.

He obediently told me as complete as possible, as well as his opinion about the similarity of the image engraved on the skin of women in the market with the emblem on the masked man's shirt. But again, the guy just nodded.

“Yes, but there's also a difference. So I can't be sure that it's the same symbol!” Answer Arna.

The man looked at Axton, then Axton picked up the book on the table and wrote something down.

“What is the sign like this?” ask Axton.

He showed a picture of a crowned oblong-headed snake.

“How did you know??” Arna was surprised.

Now he's getting confused. If these people understood the emblem, does that mean the story is believable?

That picture is exactly. All this time, no one understood the story. In fact, everyone said the video he saw in the class group never existed. In stark contrast to his behavior, Axton just smiled coldly and the man smiled as well.

"If you find out about the culprit, what do you want?" Ask the man.

He's mumbling. Faced with questions related to feelings, making him stiff. Actually if he could he'd have killed the culprit a hundred times. But if done, what is the difference with the perpetrator?

"If I told you that guy would terrorize the whole city, what would you do?" ask the man again.

"I won't let him! More casualties? what cruel person would dare to do that? Fucking people!" Arna.

Actually the answer just came out without thinking long. He only said what was in his heart.

"If so, what can you do?" asking again is like angering Arna.

"Anything! Even if you have to die, it's better than watching death again." This is the second time Arna talks without thinking.

"What did I say??" thought.

"You swear you're gonna fight?" ask the man.

Arna nodded steadily.

“At first you should know about us.” Said the man.

“We?” tanya Arna quoted the words of the man.

“ Yes..,we." Said. "We are an organization made up of people who oppose the actions of those who have the snake symbol you mentioned earlier. They're a bunch of people who hate technology, the name is Viper Army. Their motive is unclear, but their goal is to overthrow the government power held by technologists. The way, they threaten the government through the terror spread in the city. They are brutal but mysterious. The army and police cannot track him down because after the attack, they vanished like ghosts. If left unchecked they will spread terror even worse until the city of Medianpolis becomes a ruin. But before that happened we dissolved their organization.  

We call ourselves True Shadow. Wh why? because we work secretly. Like the Viper Army, we are also working without the other party's knowledge, our existence is just a myth. However, this is done to prevent more and more casualties. True Shadow members are victims of the Viper Army and abandoned children. By instilling awareness, courage and a little technique into them, the heroes of the city will be created.” Obviously the man.

Arna gawked, not believing what she heard. Strange things that will not be easily trusted by people. But, in terms of that this guy understands the emblem, he's not pretending.

"How can their motives be unknown?" Ask Arna at the end.

"Because information cannot be obtained easily." The answer. "But I believe we can get the answer!" Continue the man.

Arna flinched and then threw her face down.

"what did he say?" It felt like Arna's chest was pounding, He just wanted to know if this was a dream.

“join....!!!” exclaim Rezon happy.

“But that you can think of first. Now, you can rest here first until you recover. When you recover, decide!” Said the man."If you refuse, we can return you to the city. But if you join, be prepared to train hard." Brother Axton and he went outside.

"Rest Arna, tomorrow I come!" Rezon said while covering him.

“Join?” arna muttered when the room was empty.

Their offer was indeed tempting, by joining this organization could mean his revenge was avenged. The terror of the Viper Army has taken the life of his family, it should not be felt by anyone else. For now, his heart was very interested in joining. However, he also has several other reasons that make him have to think twice to join.
