The Journey of Eternity

Traces 4 - Memories.

Two people were sitting relaxing under a tree inside a deserted forest. A man sitting right next to the beautiful girl who rested his head on the man's shoulders. Then the man got up and stood right in front of the girl stretched out his hand.

“Miss Ely do you want to come with me today?” The man stood right before the girl and stretched out his hand hoping.

“Where are you going?, I'm lazy Arlo, you're alone. In addition, do not call with miss!”

“As if we go over that hill, there is a tree there is a very good fruit there.. Come on”

The girl grabbed the man's hand and got up from her seat and followed him. The longer the way the girl walked the weaker she got, her steps felt heavy and then collapsed right behind the man. The man was no longer visible from his sight.

(----------------)

“I failed?!, I failed?!, I FAILED!. FUCKING DEAD YOU!”

Sickle floated 1splitting the neck of a girl with horns and a tail that clearly indicates that it is a demon. Instantly the girl's head and body were separated from each other. Blood is flowing everywhere.

“Arlo! Arlo! relax, calm yourself, friend!”

“Quiet?, calm down?!, who can say that huh!!” The scythe floated and the tip stopped right next to the neck of a man who was behind Arlo. Out of nowhere it came from, A white-robed man darted out quickly and held the scythe with his two arms even to the point of being pushed back.

“Arlo calm yourself, he will be back just wait!”

“Back?, back?. When will he be back?, quickly reply!”

“Then calm down, calm down.” The man lowered the scythe handle from in front of him and his scythe began to vanish from sight.

Arlo's body began to limp, the longer his consciousness began to disappear. Then...

“Bugg” Arlo's body falls on the ground right he stands. The person nearby shouted to him but Arlo just kept quiet and his eyes started to close.

(----------------)

The white-robed man stood in front of the door with the old man who had just walked out of the room. With a sad looking face he told the man and said something to him.

“How is the Condition?, is there any development?”

“No noble, now his body is getting weaker”

From the next hallway came the sound of footsteps running staggering with tears dripping without realizing it. A man ran towards the two people hurriedly and stopped while staring into the room.

“How's dad?!”

“just look at yourself” The white-robed man lowered his head and pointed into the room. The man went straight into the room and saw a girl he knew already..

“What is this father?, he.. wake up Miss..! wakeup..! open your eyes..”

(----------------)

“Is this my destiny?, seeing all this? I can't do this anymore dad”

His opponent just kept silent while shedding his tears.

“What father..answer me?” the tears keep flowing.

“Nak..” has not finished his sentence, the man stopped and stared in surprise at the head of his son. His long invisible horn now reappeared and shone brightly.

In the room occupied by two men looked down sadly. Plus one of them looked out the window and shed his tears.

Outside the window a woman floated and smiled saying goodbye to her dusk. The white-robed man walked up to the man and hugged him in warmth. The radiance from his horn began to fade and the little horn began to sweep from its place.

“Wake up and wait until he comes back, then you will see a new miracle. And don't forget what I taught you about coming and going”

“He will be back, just wait.”

(----------------)

“Hah... raining again, am I going to have a day off?, after all Mr Harto invited me so I can spend time with him today?”

Arlo sat in front of the inn alone while staring at the outside that was raining. Raka came out of the room and carried a large umbrella and was about to leave the inn. The man came back and approached Arlo who was sitting motionless.

“Oi Arlo let's move later sir wait, pity parents”

“You think, I'm who huh. Come!”

They took their own umbrellas and immediately left directly for Pak Harto's house. Until there Eri was waiting in front of the house while pouting. His host has not yet appeared. Arlo just got closer and greeted him along with Raka who was tailing him behind in silence.

“Miss why are you pouting like that?, is there a problem with this?, aren't you coming?” question from Arlo with a naughty face.

“Not only.. it's just that the umbrella is broken, so.”

Mr. Harto came out of his house and locked the door and then greeted the two men in front of the house. They both smiled and appreciated him.

“Wah.. y'all have arrived, let's walk”.

“But how's dad? her umbrella is broken”

“simple, Raka kemi” Raka immediately approached, then Pak Harto stood beside him and they were in one umbrella under the rain that began to subside.

“Arlo this order, you must protect my daughter from now until later return to” with the face of formal pretentious sir Harto ruled Arlo.

“Good, well let's miss this command.” Arlo tried to smile even though it felt heavy.

Finally Eri together in one umbrella with Arlo while Pak Harto together with Raka. Their journey felt very short even though they were heading to a place far enough away. In front of Pak Harto looks a lot of talk and fits with the talk of Raka, while in the back, they both just fell silent without sounding any sound until they reached the destination.

They came to a large place in the middle of the city and went inside immediately. It was a place to store historical relics and some foreign objects or sacred objects for the residents of the city. The four of them went inside and inside were some people who were looking around at the stuff, but some time they went out and the place became quiet with the connection of the splashing sound of rain that did not subside.

“I feel there is something strange here” Arlo paused for a moment in front of the door, then saw a crystal that looks familiar.

There are many historical objects stored and some jewel pendants belonging to the demons. Arlo felt something strange in one of the gems there.

He approached to make sure of it. From a distance a jewel that exuded an aura that felt heavy and full of sadness. There is something that can be felt by Arlo but unfortunately his friend does not know anything except Eri who also feels the sadness. Suddenly tears flowed on Arlo's cheeks for many years, after which Eri also sobbed behind Arlo. Raka and Pak Harto were simply confused by what was happening with the two of them.

“Ap.. do you also feel Miss Ely?, what when you leave, you cry like this too?” asked Arlo, he just looked down, not daring to look at Eri.

“What do you mean?, it feels. This pain is like familiar, it feels like someone is leaving someone he loves” Eri replied sobbing.

“(Either why do I doubt this, but I've been waiting for you 100 years)” in the inner Arlo who still doubts this reality.

Eri was still standing behind Arlo while still crying. Don't know why it feels like it's their connection and Arlo's past.

Arlo walked up to the object and saw a yellow diamond with flashes around it. Then he picked it up and held it tightly. The jeweled diamond broke apart and let out a ray of light that floated above Arlo's hand. Arlo floated the light on Arlo and the light went straight into Eri's head and into his eyes.

The previously broken diamond returned intact like nothing had ever happened and floated back into place. Then Eri was hugged tightly by Arlo, not caring about the people around him. They both cry with happiness and new hope grows inside Arlo.

“Do you know how long I waited for you?, do you know how painful it was when you left?, I. I don't know with you but I've been waiting for you until now. And finally..., I finally meet you again” Arlo cried, tears like endless wetting the cheeks.

“Whatever how, when, and where, I feel I've been with you for a long time Arlo. But now it feels like I've remembered everything that happened between us 100 years ago”

“Then don't leave me again, never let go of my hand, I don't know what will happen in the future. But I hope you stay with me”
