The Journey of Eternity

Trace 48 - Escape.

The four men in Arlo's command, darted towards the right side of the castle with Ferdi forced to carry Khira's body on his back. While the girls are looking for a place said by Arlo. Until a place not far from the castle in the forest, a sparkling light emanated under a tree. A black pendant that was blinding due to the moonlight, lay right under the old tree.

“What does this mean by Mr Arlo?” ferdi's chirps immediately approached the locket.

“Quickly, his blood keeps coming out. Fast Ferdi!” bela snapped with a very anxious face, tugging at Khira's body on Ferdi's back.

Out of nowhere the locket came from and how Arlo knew, they didn't care. Khira's body was already looking increasingly pale and cold, with her blood continuously dripping out from every single moment. The locket was taken just like that and rolled into Khira's neck with the light getting dimmer. Until the light completely disappears and does not make any changes to Khira.

“Is it too late?”

“General...?”

For a while, they continued to look at Khira's body with hope. But still no changes occurred from the man's body. Until the moment of hope that has been dashed, slowly tears just flow on Bela's cheeks. He lowered his head in sobbing tears, continuing to shed tears.

The four people lowered their heads in sadness, losing hope. It seems like this is Khira's time to leave and also return to her world. Bela who was no longer strong, hit the pale body lying in front of him and hugged him tightly by continuing to cry profusely.

“Master... General... Am I still too weak? Exactly like you said before?” the girl kept crying and kept hugging him.

Keep raving about things that have happened to him, until it is not aware of something that is in front of him. A bright flash broke their view all. Making the three people behind him instantly change the look on his face and hold back a laugh.

“Why General...?” said the last time the girl.

“I don't know, probably because of my mistake too.” A big voice, right next to his ear.

The girl's eyes instantly widened with her tears instantly stopping flowing. Raising his face and looking at a man who was looking back at him with a flat face of confusion. His cheeks turned red instantly and his body did not wrinkle, continuing to stare at the man in front of him with eyes that did not blink.

“Nona Bella! I have to go! miss Bella was in great danger,” the man woke up and pulled the sword that suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Where!?” bela snapped, looking at the man standing in front of her.

Slowly his face changed, revealing sadness through tears flowing again on his cheeks.

Khira simply fell silent and closed her eyes, about to turn around to continue her footsteps.

“I'm sorry, but Miss is in danger. When I'm late, maybe he's ak-”

“Why can't I replace your Bella! what is less than this Bela?” snapped at the girl, looking at the man who had already flipped from her.

“Why! Why is this Bela different?” he continued, getting up and walking up to the man while continuing to cry.

“You're not going anywhere, are you? Let him go, I'll take his place. But you can't leave, sir..” The girl hugged the man in front of her.

Khira simply remained silent and did not dare to turn her body around. Unknowingly for the first time, tears trickled past the man's cheeks, startling everyone who was there. Khira turned around and arranged everyone there with the last one being Bela, who was still sobbing.

Forcibly taking off from the arms of the girl in front of him. His tears that were still flowing, slowly stopped along with the sword that vanished from his grasp. He hugged the girl in front of him and hugged her tightly, leaving the girl confused.

“Sorry if I fail to fully teach you. But this time, you're the one in charge of teaching this man.”.

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

With the rest of his power running out, prince Hendric saw a glare light along with the cry of someone not far from him. A very familiar voice rang out in his ears, which was why he immediately ran to the source with all the remaining power he had. Standing not far from her, the princess was already at the tip of a demon's dagger.

“Nona!” he darted towards the girl and lunged at her.

Breaking the girl's daydream and pushing her to the point of hitting a table by the door. The prince's body had been suffocated with no energy left, even if it was just to speak. The girl wakes up and realizes who came to save her life again.

“Hendric! Hendric, wakeup!” he shouted, staring worriedly at the man who had closed his eyes, not twitching.

“Don't leave me alone again! Wake up..” The girl was crying.

The girl's face grew even more surprised by something that stuck deep enough on the man's shoulder. A similar dagger, pierced with blood all over his shoulders. While the demon who was standing not far away from them, slowly started moving and walked closer to the two of them.

With a flaming red pendant around his neck, a huge sword appeared just like that in the devil's hand and was getting tall. Sucking to slash the two humans before him, in the same position. Until suddenly something shot out from the outside and instantly slashed the demon's neck. A large, floating scythe quickly cut off his head and body neatly, until it made the pendant slip from his neck.

A man limped towards the entrance and leaned in front of the door, smiling towards the princess. The man who was no stranger to him, stood limp and leaned his body against the wall of the room, pulling back his scythe.

“Mr... Arlo,”

“Do not... be surprised so dong, Miss,” said the man by adjusting his breath, limping towards the pendant lying near the demon by pulling the scythe in his hand.

“What are you doing?”

“What else, save your friend. And... maybe the next king candidate, hehe..” said Arlo grabbed the pendant with his light that began to go out.

“Sorry Miss, I've been very troublesome for these few days. But it is time for us to go, guard and protect this beautiful city, then.” Arlo held out the pendant in his hand to the girl.

“What do you mean?”

“This may help you save his life, but after this he may not be able to say a human. Think, but don't take long. Goodbye, Miss Bella.” Arlo darted through the window with the hood of his cloak closed, leaving the girl with his choice.

He went to the right side of the city and entered the forest, according to their agreement to meet there. This journey must be continued before the time to swallow everything. Finding Khira who was already standing upright without a wound and a silver sword in her hand, Arlo looked so happy.

“Alright Young man, it's time we go to Dangerous Crack. Is there anything you want to ask?” said Arlo who just got there.

“How about Daniel?” Eri stared expectantly.

“That's why we have to leave immediately, this time I managed to chop off his head. The body vanished into the ground, but I don't know what's coming next,”

“Then how do we get there, Mister?”

“There is another way. Portal trees planted near here. Right, Miss?” Arlo looked at Eri with a confident smile.
