The Journey of Eternity

The Journey of Eternity
Little Story - Two Figures



At the age of six years, a Miss Elly was appointed directly to replace the empty seat left by her father. No one rejected the decision, considering everyone loved the princess so much. But except for Miss Elly herself who was immediately reluctant to accept the decision and left the seat empty for a while.


He refused and chose to go to the west, spending time studying noble schools as a royal princess. Despite this, however, his attitude began to change slowly. He seemed to start being naughty to his family members and made them all inexhaustible with what he was doing.


For several months, even though he was also a newly moved child, everyone always approached and spent time with him. Unique children seem too flashy to them. But strangely enough, no matter how much time they spend like a friend, no one knows who, where, why or how about him. There was no information he was happy to share.


Although in one class, be it the princes and princesses who always approached him, there was someone who started to attract his attention. that person seemed to be shunned by anyone and made everyone feel bad about his presence. For some time, he was just watching and watching.


Until a coincidence for some reason, everyone had already left the classroom and left only the two of them, that was where they had met. From his stool that was in front, he glanced at the child and started to get up from his seat. Step by step without a doubt he stood beside her sitting down and greeted.


“Anu, is this really Prince Arlo?” he tapped him while patting the boy on the shoulder.


From behind the hood, the boy began to lift his chin which had been busy reading books since.


“What's the problem?” said the boy who began to show something from behind the hood.


“No, it's not so. Looks like you're quite famous for your abilities?” Elly was about to sit to her left.


“What do you mean? Excuse me first, there's something I have to do.” The boy got up from his seat and left without caring.


“Eh! Tu-wait..!” Elly did not seem to have time to catch up.


He immediately went to the door, but in fact there was no one in his sight. With a face that was quite irritated, there was a hint of curiosity covering his heart.


The next day, this time he did not wait for an impetus that happily deceived him. He waited for the boy to get up from his seat bench and chase in a hallway. The welcome from the conversation he got even more hit him, but again he was increasingly curious about his mysterious existence.


For a few days, he just spent his time waiting and waiting. Some time, he had heard the facts about himself. A child who is filled with bad impressions from the sight of anyone who hears his name. Even so, he seemed unconcerned by assuming it was all a lie and his curiosity grew sharper like a sword he played every day.


Until one day, he was walking alone on the river bank. Accidentally, he saw Arlo sitting on the riverbank and leaning against a shady tree. The look on his face looked extremely shocked as he looked at a scythe that was stuck in front of him. Not only that, from a distance he saw tears dripping down the cheeks of the boy.


I don't know what's going on with him, it feels like something is taking a sip in his heart and his breathing is getting heavier. His still innocent mind forced himself to come closer and swallowed all the lingering curiosity in his mind. But all that was just missed and he ran away leaving tears.


Whether he was so upset or disbelieving, what he saw firsthand at the time was actually a rumored Blood Prisce. His father's last request, which he only considered a figure of speech, actually happened. He has to stop the serial killer and it has to be his job.


That was when her attitude began to change, she became increasingly a bad girl. The graceful nature and smile that always appears on his face is now rarely seen by anyone. Now, not a few children are reluctant to get along with him. Even though it is said to be a favorite, dry land for one year will still be wet if washed by rain.


At first, at that time all smiles, pleasures, attention, hope and maybe a little love, will be poured into a figure that is only foreign to him. Not the intention that his father wanted, but an intention to complete the task he took.


Often he greeted silence, laughed and joked alone, hoping to be empty and disappointed without the slightest care by Arlo. Arlo was a really annoying kid, that's what he had in mind. However, Arlo is very interesting, what might happen when I meet him, that is what is in his heart. A six-year-old boy, known for his adult demeanor, fell in submission to the will of his own heart.


The royal family was made anxious by her because of some actions that often surpassed a little girl like her. Often he came home late with fruitless results, sometimes visible bruises that imprint on his body, even until he never came home when it was dark with a body drenched in cold and almost fainting.


However, no effort is ever wasted. Little by little, Arlo began to glance at himself and believe. Until a shocking incident, stab himself in the back. The incident was exactly the same in the place of a shady tree that grew solidly on the banks of the river. Elly takes Arlo there and hears all the facts. A monster with two towering horns on its forehead, stood right in front of it by raising a scythe high in a grasp.


“So, do you really want to die in my hands?” Arlo stared cynically after telling me all about himself.


“Of course, please.”


Even though Arlo was so forcefully slashing at him, the blunt scythe was blown away by the delicate skin of a girl. With a sobbing cry, the girl lunged at him and fell on him.


Just as the father told her, Miss Elly was completely in love with Arlo's tears.


For a long time, their relationship was close. The pain inside Arlo is gone without a trace, the real figure of the child named Arlo begins to appear the truth.


The hope that might be granted was only visible for a moment in the blink of an eye. The age of puberty of a girl occurs between twelve and fourteen years. When she was twelve years old, a princess should learn to rule and memorize all the tasks that will be carried. In fact, everything is just opposite. The wise girl was gone, and was now replaced by a Lianburg royal knight who was famous for her toughness with a monster who always stood by her.


Elly leaves her power as the successor of the kingdom and spends time in a foreign kingdom with the man she always has with. There is something that no one can realize, not even himself. His relationship with a demon who was too close had a bad influence.


Of course it makes Arlo shocked half dead, even he could not control himself. All ended a message from his mother saying that there was still a chance to save the rest of his life and save it in a number of other lives. Until that time, he could return as a human being, although the possibility was also very small.


The rest of Elly's life force was left behind in the castle's backyard adjacent to the hills. According to the message of queen Alyla, a small banyan tree with five flower points similar to the sunflower of the demon world was planted. For eighty more years, Arlo waited until a surprise made him even more curious.


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


A clear morning in the forest, two disheveled-looking men walked down an old ruin in a daze. Step by step they seemed to be picking up the remains that were there. Until something surprised the two of them, suddenly they both heard a baby cry not far from them.


“Sister, did you hear that? Like a baby crying,” chirps one of the younger men while patting his brother's shoulder.


“True Yury, I heard it too. Looks like the sound came from there.” The brother pointed towards a tree in the distance.


Slowly with doubt, they came to face a large tree that looked very old with leaves that began to fall. Under the tree was a plant that looked like a sunflower, but the five flowers that surrounded it seemed to have withered and almost died.


“What is this place? Is this a park before?” the younger man was curious by holding his chin.


While his brother walked around all the places to find the source of the voice that had been harassing him. Until finally he found a sweet baby from behind the tree with a white dress that was stretched red. For some reason, when they managed to find and approach the baby, he stopped crying and seemed to look back at them.


“Yury! Come quickly! There's a baby here!” It looks scared.


“True. Look, Brother! Is she a baby girl? Her hair is long, but she is a baby.”


The more they noticed, the more strange the baby looked to them. Panampakan which is like a baby in general, but his eyes that look yellow are very rarely found today. There was something like blood on his forehead.


“So, do you want to adopt it? Isn't he very cute? Sister-in-law will definitely not mind.” Said the sister by directly holding the baby and thrusting at her brother.


“Yeah, how? Our finances are minimal. You know for yourself, right? To eat alone we have to be so hard trying, even down to a place like this.” It felt heavy, the brother's hand could not reach the baby.


“It's okay, right? Maybe he can bring good luck. Well? at least she'll be a sweet girl.”


The man eventually accepts the girl and begins to take care of her. They go away and leave something important without being with the baby.


Together with his beloved wife, he took care of the baby to step on the children. With his new name, Erre Flassa. She was a girl who was very opposite to the nature that the knight Elly possessed. She really just became an ordinary girl in general. He is weak, timid, self-protective, somewhat shy, loyal, whiny and a little jutek.


Exactly what was said with the younger brother, the boy actually brought good luck to him. The man was born with the name Harto, with the purpose and meaning of a treasure from their parents. Until finally the treasure was delivered with a miracle that came to him through a child. Children are a fortune.


Living for seventeen years, there was really nothing as special as his life. Plus for the death of the mother five years ago, along with the damned inn belonging to Mr. Harto himself. Maybe until the presence of a figure that should be very special for him, but because it has been decades, all the memories are easily erased.


The yellow gem they happen to find at the museum carries all the memories and true soul of Miss Elly, who was left behind in the old tree. Until finally, Arlo can return to hold his savior.


Throughout the journey of eternity, impressed a remarkable thing for him. Like living a long life and seeing the future, he was very happy to spend time with two special girls and three faithful men serving him.


Until it all ended so cruelly. The memory was left only a ruins of the village that became flat with the ground. Right in front of his face, he saw Arlo's body and his own body covered in blood, and was pierced by a pair of sword-wielding spears.


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


“Arlo!” a girl wakes up in a dark place.


A faint figure with a pair of golden horns, fangs, dark wings on his back, and a sharp tail wrapped around his own left leg. His face showed a very weak condition. As forcefully as he moved his tightly bound body was floating by the chains on both of his hands. Tears that drip full of suffering, whimpering for help.


“Ak-Arlo.. fast... hurry up come... save... i.”.
