The Journey of Eternity

The Journey of Eternity
The 61st Trace of the Birth of Destruction.



In the middle of the expanse that was so vast, the big waves swept away just like that opened the way for a large ship that sailed fast to the east. This huge ship seemed to walk on water and shot so fast through the vast ocean.


At the front end, a man in a hooded black robe, stared intently at the destination and raised his hands high.


“We arrived,” the man's chirps hit the air.


“Bet ready!”


In front of the ship, there was already a towering cliff that blocked their path. As soon as it reached right in front of that cliff, its ship crashed and broke apart, melting back into the ocean. With the six people already standing firmly on the cliff and preparing to leave.


“Are you okay, Mr Arlo?” chirps Khira immediately approached the two people in front of her.


Eri, who keeps stroking Arlo's back, tries to help control his breathing. He was exhausted from forcing himself too much to cast such a huge magic in this state of exhaustion. Everyone there looked very anxious especially Eri who did not let go of her hand.


“I'm just a little tired. In addition, can anyone bring happy news.” murmured Arlo, grimacing by enduring the pain in his stomach.


“What do you mean-hah! Mr Arlo!”


Blood came out from inside Arlo's mouth along with a heavy-sounding cough.


“This is completely unexpected..well, the place should be near. Come!” said Arlo lifting his body.


“Good!”


Seat before until they stepped foot forward, suddenly heard someone laughing so loudly not far from their existence. A man from under his cloak, walked slowly approaching them mysteriously. Arlo flinched after recalling the voice.


“Hahaha... So this is the trash you brought? Prince Arlo..” laughs the mysterious man, while opening the hood of his robe.


“So get out of my way! I don't have time for weak creatures like you, Vion!” snapped Arlo, pulling his scythe.


“Wowo. I'm not going to mess around, just a little message from you. Your time is not much anymore, when you are really late, it may be that the land will become dust...” Vion said, vanishing from there just like that.


“Cih!


they may soon run eastward to the point of extreme heat. The temperature around is really hot like being around a volcano, even though they are in the middle of the desert. A fiery red light that was not far from where they were, showed that it was a crack in the said, fast portal connecting other worlds.


The sound of someone's footsteps turned their eyes back. A woman who was the same as the little robe that covered part of her body, smiled seductively at them. An anxious and alert face filled all of them without exception to return that smile.


“Ohh. Though I've smiled, but you guys even reply so?” the woman, with a small laugh.


“Only who wants to smile at you, Queen Bitch..” said Arlo a condescending look.


“Heh, basic child failed! That's why your father is also not happy with you..”.


Arlo just smiled and walked away leaving the empty talk. However his steps stopped due to a single sentence from the woman, he immediately turned around and stared intently at the woman.


“Arlo... how about I say... they've left?”.


“Cih! The khira! Prepare for curse magic!”


“Good!”


Khira ran towards Arlo with her silver sword and stuck it to the ground. A portal opened from within the sword and the hole grew bigger. But along with that, Khira's two hands exposed blackened burns and sweat pouring down her body.


“Portal ready Sir, go as you want,”


“South Village City!”


“Good!”


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


In a small village South of Kota, people work with passion in the cold mornings. The sun peeked out from the north with its beautiful pink light. Amongst the people there, the old man with his white hair walked slowly towards the weight on the interspersion of a little girl who was cheerfully running around in front of him.


“Don't run like that, Bela! You will fall!” Said the old man to the little girl.


“Not papa Uncle, i-ouh!”


Sure enough the old man said, the girl fell on her stomach and left a red wound on her elbow. A little water of sadness came out of his eyes, then replaced the sweet smile that covered the pain in his body.


“Just what I said,” the old man helped the dumb girl.


“I'm fine Uncle. Hehe...” reply to the girl's sweet smile, although a little tear came out.


“You really look like your sister, so I kind of miss her a little. What is he doing now?” knock the man by looking up at the sky.


“Maybe he was walking in the forest with Arlo, right? Hem...” the girl's sweet smile.


“Yah. Come on, people are already waiting for us at the inn.” Close the man by holding the girl.


They continued on their way west until they reached an inn where many people were sitting on the terrace. They smilingly welcomed the owner to come by bringing a sweet girl with him.


“Good morning, Mr. Harto. How are you today?” greet a woman among the five people around her.


“Again, I am very healthy as always. All right, are you guys hungry?” mr. Harto entered.


“Yaa!”


This is how it is now. If only you could see this, you would be so happy, Eri. Pak Harto's inner self held back tears on his cheek. They all entered the inn and Mr. Harto cooked breakfast for the customers who came. The room was already a lot different when Arlo came first.


Sunlight can almost completely illuminate the entire room. People were joking and laughing in the corners of the room. Mr. Harto cooks with his sweet niece and a woman who helps him in front, although he is also a customer. The atmosphere felt so warm, happiness filled the entire place there.


During the day, people who eat or drink come and fill the bar. This time, Pak Harto's inn was filled with crowds and warm bright lights. When the night came, everyone moved on from their work. Go back home and have dinner together again.


“Yoo! Tomorrow's holiday, do you have any plans?” knock one over there.


“Where are you? I'm coming,”


“Ohh, want a vacation? There's a nice place there,”


Mr. Harto explained a place near the market where there is a river flowing there, maybe they can rest and memncing there.


“That's good too, do you want to come too?” bargain them.


“I? What can? Well maybe I will be busy with the inn,” Pak Harto looks down sad.


“Take it easy, Sir. We'll help you cook dinner, right?”


“Bagitu? All right, tomorrow I'll come with you guys,”


The night came with a faint light from the moon as it was slightly covered by clouds. The temperature around him felt so cold like never before. Until midnight came, everyone woke up to something that shook the ground there. Followed by someone who screamed out loud.
