The Last Path's

Siry the Harpy

According to Dogma's advice, the four of them immediately pulled out a blanket to sleep. The bed in this room is wide enough to sleep with two people. Freya slept on the left by the window, Dogma on the right side close to the door while Pati and Pita slept in the middle. Initially Dogma was about to sleep on a chair in the living room, but Freya insisted on sleeping in the living room as well, citing fear of sleeping in a room with just Starch and Pita. Even under the covers, their minds were still on standby while imagining things beyond reason. After an hour had passed they finally gave up and fell asleep as well, except for Dogma.

After confirming Freya, Pita and Starch had fallen asleep, Dogma rose from the cot with great care. He opened the door and stepped slowly, making sure no sound was made. Now that Dogma was at the exit, he let out a long sigh before stepping out of the house. Once outside He was immediately greeted by the night wind that carried a gripping aura, although He had worn a layered shirt still cold through his bones.

But this does not make Dogma undo his intention to meet the singer of the song.

Slowly Dogma walked down the valley path that he had never been through before. Although it was not yet full, it was fortunate that tonight the moon was half and the clouds seemed reluctant to block the gentle rays of the goddess of the night, so that the steep valley streets were clearly visible. The road through Dogma is usually crowded used by villagers during the day, but under the moonlight this road feels gripping.

After walking for about 15 minutes while sharpening his hearing in order to know accurately the location of the source of the sound, he finally arrived at a large tree. This huge tree is right next to the waterfall. But when He got there the song stopped and He found no one there. All he heard now was the rumbling sound of a waterfall.

“Come out, I know you're hiding in a tree, Siry.” Dogma said as he looked at the big tree before him.

This large tree is used for homes by several types of animals. As soon as he saw the Dogma, a person called Siry immediately flew down from the tree.

“Dogma! You're that!? You're still alive?!?” A young orange-winged woman with a pair of bird-shaped legs approaches Dogma.

“Yang One only drove me from the Garden of Heaven, not deprived me of this world.” Dogma replied somewhat annoyed.

“Sorry to have asked you what made you remember memories you might not want to recall.” Siry immediately chimed in with a feeling of guilt.

“Hey, it happened thousands of years ago. No need to put on a guilty face like that. I'm fine talking about that which has passed so long ago, and I enjoy my time on earth.” Answer Dogma with a smile.

They talked to ask each other news, Dogma asked a lot about the news of the friends of the gods who came down to earth to serve.

“Siry, the song you just wrote was it about me?” Finally Dogma asked what had been bothering her mind since she first heard the song.

“Thank you Siry, I never thought I had a best friend like you all on earth. I am really moved.” Dogma replied while looking at Siry happily.

“Siry, now I'm on an adventure with a twelve-year-old girl and also a pair of pigeons. So please keep my identity secret. For several years, I have always traveled from one place to another with humans until they age to die. After that I will be looking for a new adventure with other humans. Isn't it a nice thing to fill my days Siry.” Dogma said with a smile, although Siry knew behind his gentle smile Dogma was actually very lonely but he could not find beautiful words to comfort his best friend.

The two of them were now sitting under a tree facing the waterfall. They chatted while recalling the beauty of a long time gone by, Siry told many versions of the story of the god who was driven from heaven, without Dogma knowing the story of him who fell in love with humans became a famous story and widespread, to become a heart-wrenching fairy tale.

“Siry, there's one more thing I want to ask you. About the creatures that suck human blood. Do you know about him?” Dogma asked while looking at Dogma.

“Iya, the inhabitants here call it Nightwalker, his real name is Dracias. He is a nation of vampires who have spiritual power that cannot be underestimated. All the creatures that He has defeated will be made as his subordinates, including me.” Said Siry while looking down regretting how weak he was.

“We have to follow all his orders, otherwise He will kill the person who is valuable to us, He is really smart and cunning, we have no choice but to follow his orders.” Siry continued with a trembling voice, Dogma could feel both anger and sadness in the voice of her best friend.

“Siry, I'm new here, but I won't let the people and you feel more pain than this. I will try to find a way for the inhabitants to survive and you can be free from the enslavement of the creatures.” At first glance there was a flash of anger in Dogma's eyes.

“Alright Siry, I think I've been here too long I'd better get going.” Dogma said as he got up from his seat. Before the Dogma actually left, Siry whispered something in Dogma's ear.

“Dogma, Dracias lives in the cave behind this waterfall.” Hearing this Dogma was confused as to why they dared to talk to someone with such a close distance. Answering the confusion on Dogma Siry's face whispered something back.

“Quiet He will not hear our conversation, because of the rumbling sound of this waterfall.” This is quite a relief for Dogma. Dogma immediately stepped foot into the house where Freya, Pati and Pita were fast asleep. Siry coveted his hand for the last time while saying.

“Dogma, I'm in love with her.”

Hearing that, Dogma was surprised and confused. But Siry had flown back up the tree. Confused, he sped up his steps towards the house above the valley. Dogma took a deep breath with lucky relief when he arrived home, the three of them were still asleep. He went back to sleep until morning. The next morning they immediately ate the breakfast brought by Hilni's aunt yesterday. After finishing breakfast, they immediately packed into aunt Hilni's house to get an explanation of many things.
