The Journey of Eternity

Trace 22 - Meeting.

Arlo hurriedly searches for the whereabouts of Eri running out of the crowded market and towards a deserted place, from afar he hears the screams of a girl he knows very well. In the narrow alley at the end of the road, 5 people and one of them was Eri sitting in a chair being tied up. A man sat in the corner of the room and just kept quiet. Three men surrounded and teased Eri, her dirty hands poking Eri's cheeks.

From far away at the end of the passage, Arlo approached dragging his red scythe that was burning like fire. His face was gloomy and around his body walking, a black aura enveloped.

“How dare you disturb humans? I think in this region there is only peace and quiet. I was wrong.” Arlo walked over dragging his scythe in his left hand.

“Wah there is a prince who came to save the princess. How about we teach him a lesson?” a terrifying smile from a man approached Arlo and carried a sword in his hand.

Arlo darted right in front of the man and pointed his scythe preparing to cut the man's neck. In the blink of an eye, the man died in one slash by Arlo, his head rolling in front of the chair where Eri was tied. Arlo's gloomy face approached the two people near Eri.

Without any pause, the two people had already lost both of their arms and blood everywhere. The two run off the ridge without hands, Arlo quickly cuts both of their necks and returns near Eri.

One of the men sitting alone in the corner of the room stood up from his seat and prepared, his body was clearly trembling and sweat was pouring out. Arlo slowly approached the man and pulled out the knife on his thigh.

The man was already so close to his death, the moment Arlo Hendam threw the knife in his hand.

“Don't Arlo! He doesn't bother me, don't kill him!” Eri yelled at Arlo trying to hold him back.

Hearing that, Arlo returns to Eri and begins to split the rope that binds him. Arlo's gaze was still so wary of the man, finished his bond open, Eri was immediately pulled out by Arlo away.

“I already know where the castle is. Let's go there Miss!”

“Yaa”

On the way, Arlo was still speechless and lowered his head, his face looking gloomy. Eri also did not dare to say a word to Arlo. Finally Eri stopped right in front of him and peeked at Arlo's face.

“Arlo.. are you okay?” Eri peeked at Arlo's face which just looked down.

“Sure, it's just that those two people should be warned.”

Eri just kept quiet without daring to ask the two people Arlo was talking about. In addition, Arlo also only explained the way towards the castle after which he just kept silent without saying a word.

The two of them walked quietly straight towards the castle. The location and in the castle is indeed a little far from the location of the city. Along the way only visible old trees reddish-brown, until at a point that is not visible there are more trees. In the distance, seen in front of the castle gate there are two guard soldiers who are on standby. The two of them immediately ran towards the castle and met the two soldiers.

“Before I yang-“

“No need!, I already approved it! Alright Arlo come on in, and take your wife too!” a man who was standing a bit away from the entrance gate and started to approach.

“Ah.. Daddy's! Ba.. good Sir!” Arlo looks surprised by the presence of the man as if Arlo knows him. Then the three of them immediately entered the castle led by the foreign man.

Eri was only confused with Arlo and just fell silent following the two men who were in front of him. On the way into the singasana room, Arlo was seen talking to the man beside him, but it was only a moment later there was no conversation until they stopped somewhere.

In a passageway, there were two branches that became directions to something place. Arlo realized which way they should go, but it was then that they should turn right and be able to directly meet Her Majesty the Queen, but the man took the two people in his blakangnya in a direction that swamp up to a sampi somewhere. There was a very long dining table with two female servants welcoming them.

“Welcome Mr Arlo and Miss Eri!” greet one of the waiters in front of the dining table.

“Ee Arlo, looks like we got the wrong space?” said Eri look around him.

“True Sir, looks like we did enter the wrong space?” arlo looked at the man.

“No, look who is sitting and eating there?” the man pointed to a woman who was sitting and eating at the table alone then the man sat down next to the woman and invited the two of them to sit down.

Arlo who looks resigned pulled Eri's hand to sit in front of the two strangers. Eri just obeyed what Arlo was doing.

“Arlo do you still remember me?” greet the woman who was eating in front of him.

“Your Majesty the Queen of Soul Of Dark” replied Arlo looking a little upset.

“Arlo!” Eri poked Arlo's stomach until he slouched.

“Sorry Your Majesty, he is so” said Eri lowered his head.

The two people looked confused by Arlo and Eri's behavior. Then they both laughed and looked at Arlo until he was wrong.

“True, Arlo since the first time it is so, indeed age will not change the human behavior that exists since birth yes.” The queen laughed and invited Arlo and Eri to eat together.
