The Journey of Eternity

Trace 29 - Women.

On the same day before Arlo sets out for his mission, Eri and the Queen go to something place to do something in secret, especially from Arlo. In accordance with the agreement the night before that Eri will practice fighting together with the Queen.

“Nona, maybe our time is just a little. Chances are I will only teach you the basics in fighting.” Obviously Queen.

“But are you sure I can fight? Added as you said the law here is a little different”

“That color will even make our practice Nona” easier

The night before when Arlo was away with the King, Eri slept overnight with the Queen and heard the full explanation from her. From who he really is to Arlo's mischievous behavior as a child to make them both laugh.

The Queen explained that, the laws of combat and weaponry here are slightly different from the human world in general. The knights who fight bravely will be chosen by his weapon not him who chooses his weapon.

Basically, the weapon will be in the right place at the right time. And the Queen feels that in a few days, Eri will get the weapons she hopes to help Arlo travel.

“Alright Miss, you try to think of a weapon that suits yourself. The weapon will match the personality of its owner in order to gain extra power from the emotions of its user. Strengthen every blow given to our opponents”

Eri nodded and they immediately set off to something the Queen had pointed out. They just walk through the hallway through to the back of the box. A very spacious and beautiful place, with four large columns in the middle, firmly supported the room.

Somewhat far in front of them a woman standing with a tray of clothes walked up to the two of them.

“Welcome back Queen, as your orders. A set of clothes from a girl, ready to use” said the woman held out a tray in her hand to Eri.

“It is a special shirt for training. The shirt was pliable and very strong, although it was also very tight. Miss, you should wear it in this training.” Obviously the Queen insisted on Eri and he went to leave her to something place.

Then the woman showed the dressing room to Eri to prepare for training. Sure enough that said by the Queen, the clothes were indeed very tight and made Eri feel a little inferior with her clothes.

“Just calm Miss, here will be no one to see us practicing. Just enjoy our workout”

Eri nodded and agreed to the Queen's sentence, he sat on one of the mats in the room. The Queen held out a book of basic training materials and various weapons to assist Eri in the practice.

While reading through it bit by bit, Eri heard a simple explanation from the Queen in basic training. In addition, the book actually also explains the nature of each weapon with its users to make it easier to search. But in Eri's mind only weapons that can support from behind without caring about the rules.

At the end of the day, the day began to go by. The Queen invited Eri to choose the weapon that he would try to use after the explanation and the material was done. A variety of weapons are hung on the walls of the room to choose from. Eri had already prepared what he would choose first, given the supporting weapons from behind.

A large bow hanging along with the arrow below was taken by Eri for his first experiment. From the premonition the Queen had already said that it would not match him, and plus there were consequences that must be borne to use weapons that are not suitable.

“Can I try archery?”

“Sure, just try.”

Then Eri began to look for his position, a round board training target being targeted for Eri's arrows. The first shot is slowly pulled and aimed at the red dot in the middle. Shats. his arrow shot and hit the red line, the line to the three roundabouts.

The second shot began to shoot, again the shot did not hit the target and instead went down to the seventh line point. Then the third shot was fired by Eri who looked a little limp suddenly. His arrows did not hit the roundboard and instead bolted another collar.

Seeing that, Eri's eyes widened and grew increasingly frightened. His body was shivering and getting weaker until he finally fainted there. The queen was very worried about immediately ordering her servant to move. He was in the bopong back in his room.

...(----------------)...

A girl tied up tightly with a chair in a long dark hallway. The girl was confused while thrashing, trying to be free from her bond. Not the slightest bit of his efforts had succeeded, a new problem had appeared before him.

"Who?! who are you..?! where are you from..?! Eri!!" a hoarse voice rippled in that dark passageway.

the same man Eri had seen before. With a robe full of tears and a body covered in blood. He slowly approached Eri with two objects that were exactly the same as before.

Again Eri's eyes widened, his body trembled in fear, he thrashed more and more in that chair. But for nothing, the shadow kept coming closer and closer, staring at the frightened girl with bright shining yellow eyes. When the distance between the two of them was already within range, the blood-stained sword was slashed.

"Well.hosh.." Eri awakens from her tudur in Arlo's room, along with two girls who look very anxious.

"Miss! what's up?!" Ask one of them.

Then Eri took a slow breath and explained to both of them what he saw before, apparently it was just a dream during Eri fainted. The girl's horse immediately accompanied Eri kitika to hear her Master was injured. Then they both explained that he fainted until it became dark.

Eri began to wake up lifting his limp body. The two girls questioned him, but he still insisted that he was fine. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, calling the names of the two girls.

"Well, please come in.." Shouted Eri returning the call.

The door was opened slowly, apparently it was the Queen who was wearing the same clothes as the one she was wearing last night. Then the Queen asked the condition of Eri's body and heard all of it. The two girls offer the Queen and Eri to eat, but the Queen refuses and tells Eri to eat.

Recalling her feeble body, the two girls nodded and immediately went to fetch some food. During the week, Eri recounted the incident that happened to him before he fainted. The queen nodded her head in understanding and gave no explanation even though she actually knew what was happening.

Some time while waiting, the two girls brought back a tray containing Eri's favorite food and welcomed. Receiving the tray by the Queen and the two girls at the order of return, his duties are considered as late as today and may rest.

Not the same as his own Master, Arlo, who is always denied, these two girls do not dare to argue even staring at the Queen's face never once.

"Let's open your mouth'' The Queen put food in a spoon in front of Eri's mouth.

''What ''What! no, I'll eat alone. Hehe..''

"You're sick, I have to feed you. Quickly open your mouth, young man..''

"But! Mhm.." Eri accepted the forced bribe.

"Miss Eri, I'm your mother. When her daughter is sick, her mother will take care of her and of course bribe her''

Eri looked down embarrassedly mixed there was a thin smile on her lips, making the Queen laugh amusedly.
