The Guardian: The Elementalist

Miasmas

The five of them finally boarded Levy after Kaa opened the gate to go between worlds.

Unfortunately they continue to be surprised by the pile of bodies that are on their journey.

Finally they stopped at a place with an unpleasant smell. "This smell is really torturous! Why would anyone do something so vile?" ask Salsha.

"Such a character is only appropriate to describe someone who does not know himself," Sandy said as she glanced at Alesse. Unfortunately, Alesse didn't seem to care.

Suddenly Kaa dropped the glass she used to drink, her face pale instantly. "Aless! You.... Come back to your vehicle!" kaa panicked.

"Who? Why?" ask Alesse. "Not much to ask! Just do what I ask!" kaa said, in the end he hastily pushed Alesse to get into Levy.

"What's up, Kaa? You look so scared! Just this time I saw your face could be like that" Salsha said.

"It's none of your business. Come with me first," said Kaa. They went to a store and found someone with wide shoulders sitting down and sipping a glass of water.

"That's who?" salsha asked in astonishment. When the man suddenly turned his face towards them, he was stunned.

"Mom... Isn't that Stephen Kingdom?" salsha asked in surprise. The man got out of his chair and approached them.

"Nobody calls me by that name here. You must be from Earth Earth! Why are you here?" ray asked with a cold expression, not realizing that Kaa was in front of him.

"Are you drunk? In the morning like this?" asked Kaa with a disappointed feeling. "Oh? Kaah! Welcome aboard! Sorry for not realizing you. If they are the ones with you, they must be good youths! Greetings, my name is Raya Stephen," said Ray.

Salsha's heart felt a pounding as the man reached out to shake hands. Sandy who had hated the man also seemed to stutter because she had first met the most famous person in the world. On the other hand Sanay looked ordinary.

"What's a pretty girl? Why do you look so moody? Should I give you some spirit?" ask Ray.

"Hey! So people are aware of themselves! How old? Don't insult the kids!" reproof Kaa. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean anything" Ray said, scratching his head.

"We're not kids! We're all grown up!" Salsha. "Gee, look at this beautiful and beautiful girl. Your eyes really captivate my heart" said Ray, he was about to shake hands with her once more.

Unfortunately, at that time, Sandy tried to dare to brush her hand. "Ma.. sorry! Even though you're the most famous person in the world, I think this is too much" Sandy said.

"Let's! You remind me of Alex! You guys are really brave young men!" ray was impressed.

"Eh? Alex? Ma... You mean Alex Jawara?" ask Sandy. "Whoa! The world is so small! Do you know Alex Jawara?" ask Ray.

"of course! He went to school with us before he went to America" Salsha said.

"If you're Alex's friends, you must be great people, too" Ray said. "No, we only know him. We're not very familiar with Alex, it's just her brother....." Sandy reluctantly admits that she is more familiar with Alesse than with Alex.

"his brother? Alex Jawara's brother?" ray asked, he was getting curious. "Hmm, ignore that! By the way, why are you here?" ask Kaa.

"Lately there are many bodies scattered, while I have to burn all of them before they become a disease that endangers many people" said Ray.

"It looks like the only one who can do that is you," Kaa said impressed. "Based on vile people! How dare he slaughter those people! They're innocent, but why....." Ray looked frustrated and sipped his drink again.

"You better not mess up this early in the morning, just be careful if I hear anything bad from you again" Kaa said with a cold expression.

"Oi, old man.... No need to be so fierce with me. Those kids can be scared around you" Ray said. "Si.. Who did you say old man?" Kaa looked annoyed, while the other three children could only hold back their spit because they did not want to imagine what Kaa was like when angry.

Finally Kaa tried to be patient while sighing slowly. "Kids, let's get out of here! Really wasting time!" kaa then turned away from Ray.

"Wait a minute, Kaa! There's one thing I want to ask you!" ray said, his face suddenly serious.

"Do you know who is behind all these heinous acts?" ray asked, his face looked serious even though he was drunk.

"No, I don't know" replied Kaa. "If the culprit is the Warden, you better not shut him down let alone defend him. What you're fighting is not just me, but everyone in the world" Ray said.

Just clenched his hands, he did not respond to Ray's words. "Kids, let's go!" he said once again.

Alesse did not care much about what had just happened because from the beginning Kaa did not include him with them.

"Where else are we going, Kaa?" ask Alesse. "Gordon" said Kaa, he did not mention which gate they could pass to Gordon's earth.

Alesse also understood what he wanted, he had memorized some of the places where the gate between the worlds was located.

After arriving at a very high waterfall, Alesse tried to make Levy hit the waterfall.

"Where are you going? This where?" ask Kaa to be confused. "You said you were going to Gordon, this place is the gateway to Gordon" replied Alesse.

As the rain started to hit Levy's surface, rumbling sounds continued to be heard from within Levy, even intense tremors occurred, making people seem panicked. They thought the vehicle they were riding in was going to crash into the ocean.

But before that happened, Levy managed to penetrate the flow of the waterfall and ended up in a very thick fog.

"What's this about? Why is the fog so thick? Why is the color so weird?" ask Sandy. She tried to check on Levy's wall.

His face is getting pale. "It's already started! The bad things I had expected far away had finally happened as well! But why is it so fast?" Kaa looked very frightened.

"What is this, Kaa?" ask Sandy. "That's Miasma. It was only a matter of days until this fog enveloped the world and claimed the lives of people!" abugn.

"Why can fog take people's lives?" ask Salsha. "You don't see below? It was all an expanse of corpses that had already been heavily decomposed! Even if there was a desperate bird flying here, it would die!" kaa.

"It's awful! Is there nothing we can do to prevent this from spreading?" ask Salsha.

"All we can do is get out of here! Alesse is out of this place! Come out before you all breathe in this thick fog!" kaa panicked.

"Why are you so worried about us? It's as if you yourself will be fine despite inhaling it," asked Alesse. "Because I'm the Chron! I did not die from poison and disease! But you're different! Better get going! Please hurry!" kaa.

"Just relax, Levy has oxygen reserves for this kind of situation" Sandy said. "It turns out you know enough about Levy for someone who doesn't care about the owner of this vehicle" Alesse said. Sandy looked annoyed, she did not want to admit it, but could not deny it.

"Preferably save your enmity! I'm really talking seriously! You can be in danger if you inhale it!" Kaa still looks worried.

"Just calm. It won't come in here" Sandy said trying to calm down, but Kaa was still unsure of what she said. "Hey, Alesse! Say something! Aren't we going to be okay despite being around this fog?" sandy asked, even though he was reluctant to interact with her.

"Where do we go next?" alesse asked, instead ignoring Kaa's question. "If you're so freaked out, shouldn't we get out of here? So where's the next destination?" ask Alesse again.

Finally Kaa showed her a dull map. Alesse also aligns it with the digital map he has.

"Looky! Where'd you get this very accurate map? There is even a description of the height as well," said Kaa impressed.

"This is the suspicious thing I've been doing for months. Recording the entire surface of the planet various earths," replied Alesse, he insinuated Sandy who continued to say that he was very suspicious.

"Just because of this map, doesn't mean the reason I suspect you'll be gone!" said Sandy while showing the scar on her hand. Although Sandy had not previously shown the wound, Alesse had already observed it from the beginning.

The incision wound in Sandy's hand was exactly the same as when she was holding a knife.

"So... That wound was caused by me?" alesse asked, finally he knew the essence of Sandy's hatred for him. At first he did not care, now he tried to understand his situation.

Sandy looked in disbelief after hearing the question. "Why are you asking? Don't you know who best gave me this wound?" ask Sandy a little annoyed.

"No, of course not. The only one who knows that better is you. You're the one who got the wound, so you should know what's really going on, " said Alesse.

"No need to be so complicated! You obviously tried to kill me with a knife! If Jawara hadn't saved me, you would have killed me!" Sandy. "I heard nothing from Jawara, who said that the wound was caused by me" Alesse said.

"Of course not! The robot is under your control! There's no way he's taking down his own master!" Sandy.

"Stop that! We need to get out of this place!" kaa.
