The Journey of Eternity

Trail 51 - Island of Life.

It is a plain that has never been touched under the feet of the devil, a land that is filled only with peace and tranquility. This place will never be touched, even until the world is about to end. But it's all just your bullshit, right? Like the truth says, we're all gonna be swallowed up.

“Master, have you never thought about how they came and ruined everything.?”.

“What will you do for it..?”.

We waited for whoever came and extended a hand. But no one came back with a smile. Until when is it going to happen here, what is this place really?

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

In the middle of the vast ocean, a cliff soared as far as the eye could see from the north end to the south end. Until an ice board that froze its manabrah along with two strangers that stood clumsily on it, stared in awe at the towering cliff before him.

“What is this place, Arlo?” eri said, not looking away.

“Well, this is the island. All right, we start again.” Sahut Arlo in a high tone, raised his hand.

Along with his raised hand, just like before, slowly the water supporting the frozen board lifted up and pushed them towards the top of the cliff. The sight was soothing to the eyes, along with dark clouds that began to disappear, with clear weather filling the surroundings.

“This looks more like an inter-world delimiter, right Arlo?”

“What do you mean, this is also the human world. It's just been freed from the hands of the devil for hundreds of years.” Clarify Arlo, take a serious tone. Ending their conversation with a sour face Eri.

Until they floated right in front of the mouth of the cliff and jumped out of the board. Realizing that when they had set foot on the island, yet another incredible sight occurred.

“What is this..!” arlo shouted, his eyes glaring at the one in front of him.

Not far from them stood, before them were just thick green trees with large, wild roots that filled this plain. Seen from the outside, it seemed like not the slightest light could enter the trees, it felt quite creepy.

“Alright Miss, don't know what's in there. But we must-“ Arlo has not finished his sentence, toppled over from exhaustion.

“Arlo! Aren't you okay?” Eri tries to support Arlo's arm from behind.

“Good question, but it looks like I'm really out of energy to cast that much magic, ehok-ehok.” His cough sounded better, then he was already unconscious.

Eri, who looked very anxious, was forced to drag the man's limp body to lean under the tree, allowing him to rest for a moment. Looking at the ones inside the trees, it was enough to make the feathers stand up, goosebumps in fear. Eri's mind is filled with ill-defined fantasies about the sinister creatures that live in it.

“You why?” said Arlo suddenly, curious about Eri's face that looks strange.

“Ti-no! Are you feeling better?” reply Eri diverted the conversation.

“I don't think yet, why am I leaning on a tree?”

“What do you mean? You want to sleep on my lap?”

“Eh!”

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

At the place where the Arlo troops were forced to leave, they all just sat back and forth in and on the porch of the wooden house, listening to the story of Verles. Until finally Trisia returned with her own smiles on the road and stopped for seeing them all.

“Why are you all relaxing here? It's not like I said nothing's free to stay here,” said the girl in a snobbish tone.

“Good... Now you want us what?” ferdi replied, sounding lazy.

“Trisia, what do you mean say that?” Verles looks disappointed.

“But they hitchhiked, right? However..” his eyes widened to see the increasingly unhappy face of Verles.

“What four of you have been hunting? Trisia, take them out for the hunt. If you can't, just teach,” with a face that doesn't change, the man wakes up and goes back into the room.

“Ba-well,” sad feeling is drawn from a face that looks moody.

Turning his countenance annoyed, he clasped his spear firmly and suddenly stuck it in front of Khira's feet sitting hanging on the porch. He looked at the four of them with a serious look and was countered by the four of them.

“You heard, right? Follow me for hunting, fast!” said the girl, turned around and walked ahead of them.

Walking along this arid land, everyone would think. What will be hunted? When only the arid land without life existed as long as the eyes looked, while the girl just walked hastily in front of them all.

“Hei, Sina. Do you think he's a little weird? Look at his attitude towards the man,” Bela chirps, whispering towards the girl beside him.

“Okay, I don't know. What about you guys?” Sina asked the two men behind him

“Hmm?” answer them both with a stupid face.

“Forget it...”.

Until they stopped at a vast river that was very swift, very heavy. There is a very opposite view behind the river. Because in front are dense trees that are very lush and green. Instead, the land they were stepping on right now was an arid land without life.

“Alright, what does this mean!” ferdi said in a annoyed tone.

“That's different territory, there are four territories of power on this island the land that you stepped on is Black Desert, then the green plains in front of there is Last Land, and then the green plains in front of there is Last Land, then across from the Last Land is Soul Realm, lest we enter there. And what you are looking for is the Dangerous Crack or dangerous crack that is on the south side, it is the widest area on the island.” Clarify the girl, jump towards the river.

They all just listened in silence, considering that his mouth was extremely sharp and invincible. Until the girl was across, she shouted out loudly commanding them to cross, of course by jumping.

“Do you two get?” bela asked looking at Ferdi and Sina who already looked trembling.

“Of course!” answer the two out loud, with a forced smile.

“Good.” The two people in front of him shot out just like that and arrived easily.

The turn of the two of them, a bad premonition began to cross the minds of the two. Stopping the step and retreating again, the couple turned out to have the same problem apparently.

“Are you going to jump now?” sina said, turning to the man beside her who was retreating slowly taking preparations.

“Yah!” the man immediately ran, darting towards the river.

With all his might to get to the other side of the river. His body that floated in the air slowly began to fall outside of the path. The shape was too weak to get to the other side. Until someone lunges at his body from behind before he can fall into the water, do not know what will happen if it falls into a stream that hard.

The bodies of the two of them stopped because they hit a tree in front of him. Until someone who hit him earlier began to appear with his loud voice.

“Stupid! What do you think you can do without me!” the voice of a young girl hugging Ferdi from behind.

“Hah! I'm fine, ja-“

“That's what you deserve to say!”

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

Because Arlo's condition has improved, they both finally wake up and continue the journey, to get into the dense forest of course. Inside was completely as dark as previously thought, absolutely no light could enter even though the sun was starting to shine with its light.

Her spirit began to grumble as the two of them's sight began to deteriorate, as it entered deeper into the forest. Eri who was very frightened, grasping firmly Arlo's right arm that was walking beside him, he walked with a palpation and felt the surroundings. Bad imaginations begin to fill the girl's head unknowingly disturbing Arlo.

“Stop saying silly things like that, Miss. What the hell is bothering you? it's safe..” said Arlo sighing in the dark.

“But at the moment we are actually walking without being able to see, right? How about you touch and touch something terrible!” snapped Eri, getting crazier.

“Take it easy! My hand will grow again when it is cut,” explained Arlo a little bit confused.

Until suddenly Arlo stopped and saw a small glimmer of light that was in front of him. It looked like a firefly perched on a tree branch, right in front of the two of them. But the light suddenly went out and left nothing behind.

“What is a firefly, Arlo?”

“I don't know either, maybe if a little in the open!” Arlo slashed out from his saber, pointed up and made a huge hole above them.

“Hah! why haven't you done it since!” eri yelled, pulling Arlo's hand.

But it seems bad enough to do. A moment later, the rest of the plants that Arlo slashed sounded like twitching, while the big hole was again tightly closed as before, inexhaustible thought this would happen to them.

Without knowing what was happening, the two of them were suddenly hit by a direct hit right from all sides of the attack. While there was currently not the slightest bit of light to be able to see what was happening around them, only the sounds of grass being stepped on filled around them as clues.
