Dusk in Lavender country presents a very beautiful view, the sky has been decorated every moment of sunset. It had been a few hours they spent together, finally the atmosphere that awaited Vendrinna now arrived.
They were lying on the grass right beside the Hollow Vender river, enjoying the turn of the night when they saw some stars that had begun to appear in the sky.
"Finally the long-awaited ones arrived as well."
Vendrinna smiled as she looked at the flickering light from the stars scattered in the sky.
"uh? what are you waiting for?" Ask Agra.
"Later you know for yourself." Answer Vendrinna.
Agra fell silent and looked up at the sky which was now turning dark.
"Eumm ... Vendrinna!"
"Yes?"
"Today's your birthday why are you celebrating with me? why not just go with the others?"
"It looks like this innocent man is very curious huh? just keep quiet and enjoy this moment, you'll understand."
a few minutes later, someone approached them.
"The boat is fixed. The boat can be used now."
"Oh ... Thank you sir. The payment has been settled by my friend, right?"
"Yes, sir and miss can already wear it."
"Okay sir, thank you again sir."
The handyman left after delivering a wooden boat ordered by Vendrinna.
"Mahaha ..." Agra suddenly laughed.
"Why laugh?" Ask Vendrinna.
"How do you talk like a big lady with a lot of money." Agra Ejek.
"Indeed." Vendrinna answered casually.
"Huh?" Agra who heard it instantly felt confused.
"You know? This field is the one I just bought, so automatically I am the one who runs this field, every morning I hire 100 people to work with me picking lavender flowers. Later this flower will be distilled into a fragrant oil that people commonly refer to as perfume." Vendrinna.
"Hahah!?" Agra grew even more shocked after listening to the explanation from Vendrinna.
"Before buying I already have my own capital from the results of managing my family's gold mine, of course I also have the authority to manage it." Connect Vendrinna.
Agra only responded to Vendrinna's explanation speechlessly. He no longer had any ideas to argue with the big lady.
Of the five clans in the Clonning world, there were 3 wealthy families who were legendary since the first era of clan formation. The three families include the Le Bluezer family, the Maxime family and the Brighton family. They are the ones who pioneered the system of government and the economic system of each clan.
With the wealth they have the whole world becomes more advanced as they share their wealth with the central government system for natural resource management capital.
While the central government system is divided into five according to the number of clan groups, each clan has its own system of government and is held by its clan leaders. They have also established castles/kingdoms as meeting places and also important meetings between kings and ambassadors of castles.
The system has been in operation for the past few decades, but since the collapse of the blue clan the ruling system of the five clans has been a bit tenuous and messy now all have been controlled by the best clan, the Redfire Clan.
Currently Agra was just speechless and looked at the face of Vendrinna that was contrasted between the sky and the moon. He begins to realize that Vendrinna is the person he needs the most. Every day at all times in the absence of Vendrinna he felt himself constantly lonely.
"Hey! why do you keep looking at me?" Ask Vendrinna.
"G ... Emm .. no! I'm just looking at the firefly behind you, it's beautiful." Answer Agra nervously.
After hearing the reason of Agra, Vendrinna also believed and immediately looked back.
"Yes-weasels? Haha ... This moment really fits right?"
"Ehh ... I–iya ..."
"You know? The story of two little kids who always play fireflies by the river?"
"No."
"They meet here every night to board a small boat made of wood. Decorating a small beam of fireflies from their group also said to each other the promise not to part, but you know what happened to them?"
"Hm ... No."
"Three days after the promise was made, they parted ways and the boy said something to the innocent and cute little girl."
"What did he say?"
"He told the little girl to stop crying and to wait for her by the river, he also said that he would come back to pick up the little girl and would not leave her alone."
"Then is he back?"
"Oh ... Of course not! The little girl continued to grow into a beautiful teenage figure, every year she was forged by change but her heart and memories still never changed let alone extinct from within her. Agra! you know what that girl's been doing for years?"
"Eumm ... No."
"He kept waiting for the boy, he always thought of the hope of meeting him. Without realizing that the change of season had accompanied his expectations, he continued to wait in their favorite place, where they met and separated. He always imagined what the boy's face was like when he was a teenager, because he considered that boy who could understand his feelings as well as his first friend. But after a long wait for the girl to realize that her hopes of meeting were minimal, the boy did not return and he may have forgotten her promises and words in the past."
"What a sad story."
"But unfortunately it's not just a story, it's a reality so bitter if swallowed alone."
"uh? So the story is real?"
"Agra! How long are you like this?"
"What do you mean?"
"What?"
"Come on!" While moving Agra's hand towards the wooden boat at the edge of the river.
"Vendrinna, what's wrong with you?"
"Get it!"
Agra obeyed Vendrinna's orders even though she was still confused by the strange demeanor the teenage girl showed.
After boarding the wooden boat Vendrinna followed Agra with two oars, he took his wooden boat and began to row his boat to the middle of the river.
"Look and feel this atmosphere! are you comfortable?"
"Yes I feel very peaceful."
"Then you try to remember again whether this atmosphere you've ever felt before?"
"Hm ... No, it looks like I just felt it this time."
"Try to remember again!"
"What is remembered? Precisely in this condition you seem to force me, what's the matter exactly?"
"How ... How could it be that after going through all these moments you don't remember anything? I'm pretty sure that person is you."
Vendrinna began to shed tears.
"Vendrinna, stop crying whatever you do to me won't work. You and Laurent thought I was blue, right? When we came out of that building Laurent was shouting to call me blue, you must have heard him too. So you think I'm the blue you're looking for. So you want to prove it directly, right? So in order for you to be satisfied and to escape from that guess I followed all your plans. But I also have to reiterate that I'm not Blue!"
Hearing that affirmation Vendrinna could not stand it and she began to sob.
"Will he be dead!?"
"If he's one clan with me it's very likely that he'll definitely ...."
"Hiks .. hiks ... hiks ..."
Vendrinna cried again but this time she leaned against Agra's chest, the girl let out a cry that she had endured for a dozen years in Agra's arms.
"Cry! I'll hug you and give you a sense of security." Agra continued to calm Vendrinna down.
"He was my little friend, he always understood how I felt. And now he's gone for good without saying goodbye, hiks .. hiks ..."
Agra just kept quiet and continued to hug Vendrinna warmly.
"Vendrinna you'd better let her go and move on, there's me. I'm the one who will be with you, at first I had the thought of leaving you and Jessy after finding a safe place to live. But my heart keeps worrying about seeing you alone with Jessy. Until I decided to stay here to take care of you, I also remembered the message from your mother while in the spirit world. I promised your mother to always protect you, even though my chakra levels and levels are still very low. I will train diligently for the future of this world to the point of peace."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure I'll stay by your side. Let's just say this is the successor to Blue's promise. If I fall asleep with my promise then remind me with one of your attacks. It doesn't matter to me that I'm a loser who only talks with my mouth."
"I don't know if I'm still unsure, I'm afraid after saying that promise your fate is the same as Blue."
"will not. I will not die until the world reaches the peak of peace, one day I will change this world to my new order."
"Mahaha ..." Vendrinna laughed.
"Ehh .. Why are you laughing?"
"Your words are too high. Hard to digest to the brain."
"Godheheh ..."
"If you're sure of what you say I'll try to support you, I hope it's true."
"Ohya! I want to give you something."
"What's that?"
"Close your eyes!"
Vendrinna immediately closed her eyes and she was waiting for a surprise from Agra, while Agra took out the protective necklace she got from the Vedernight sacred tree. He then wore the necklace to Vendrinna's neck.
"Open your eyes now and see my surprise. Consider it my birthday gift."
"Well .. This necklace is so beautiful, so radiant."
"That necklace will one day protect you if you're in trouble. Please take care of the necklace."
"Agra, you know?"
"What?"
"The necklace you found earlier was also a gift from Blue, he gave me a necklace as a friendship gift. The place of his giving is exactly the same here."
"Well .. really?"
"Yes, but it doesn't matter if I keep the necklace too?"
"Of course it doesn't matter but, you have to keep wearing that necklace that I gave you. Don't let you loose."
"All right, thank you."
"Together."
They also spend the rest of their time digging together. The river filled with the beauty of the night makes the eyes and heart become calm. The atmosphere that Vendrinna longed for now began to return despite changing the figure of a companion.
The lanterns that were made this afternoon, they floated on the surface of the water to accompany the grief for Blue so that he could calm down with the other Blue Clan members.
