The Last Path's

The journey begins

“Oh yes, sorry just asked now, but will your family not worry if you long do not go home, or the time at your family place also stops the same as the time at my family place?” Freya begins to get curious about Dogma.

“Of course not, I have no one to worry about if I go anywhere on earth.” Said Dogma while busy mending the ties on her rather loose ship.

“Are you orphaned?”

“Ehm... It can be said like that, since the beginning I was created I do not have parents like you, but in my home I used to have many friends who love me.” Dogma replied with an unfamiliar expression. It was a happy and sad face at the same time.

“Sorry to have asked that.” Freya begins to regret questions that may have opened her new friend's old wounds.

Although still small, Freya is quite sensitive to the feelings of those around her.

“You didn't do anything wrong, why should you apologize?” Dogma said with a smile.

They walk without direction and rely only on instinct. Right at noon, they decided to find a fruit tree for them to eat. They found an apple tree with a thick fruit. They decided to rest under him. Dogma also picked some fruit for their provisions on the next trip.

“Freya, catch!” Dogma cried from the top of the apple tree while throwing apples at Freya.

The surprised Freya catches the apple by reflex.

“Hey what you did was danger know? If I don't catch it and hit my head, I can break it.” Freya's murmur to Dogma.

“Hey, have you heard of the mythology that throwing an apple at someone is a declaration of love?” Ask Dogma enthusiastically.

“There is indeed a mythology about it? I don't know at all.” Freya answered while eating an apple thrown by Dogma.

“Of course there are and in other mythology mentioned that there is a goddess who has apples that can make life eternal and youthful you know.” Dogma so enthusiastic about telling about the mythology of the apple, Freya listened to the story of Dogma while coolly chewing apples.

“What in this apple tree there is also dryad like Agar?” Freya suddenly remembered Agar.

“Of course there are, but if they don't want to show themselves to us, we won't be able to see it. That is the privilege of dryad.” Answer Dogma. Freya just nodded at hearing that.

“We've got some apples to stock, but we're running out of water. Maybe near here we can get water, let's continue the journey.” Take Freya to Dogma.

“Wait, did you hear that sound?” Ask Dogma. Freya was silent for a moment before answering.

“I didn't hear anything, is there anything?” Ask Freya.

“Listen to Freya, you must immediately train your ears to be sensitive to the atmosphere of the forest. Just now I faintly heard the sound of water gurgling from that direction.” Dogma said while pointing in a direction.

They immediately walked in the direction designated by Dogma, after about half an hour walking Freya also began to hear the sound of water gurgling.

"Well, your hearing is sharp, I just heard it now." Praise Freya.

“Dogma, look, there is a path along this river, how about we just follow this path? Maybe we'll meet someone we can ask.”

Dogma agrees with Freya. They immediately walked on the road by the river, what a very pleasant atmosphere walking along the clear watery river with fish that seemed to be chasing them.

At the end of the trail, there is an old house that is still maintained. They knocked on the door of the house politely, and then the grandmother appeared with a stick in her hand to open the door. As soon as the guest knocked on the door, the grandmother immediately hugged the two of them.

“For so long you do not visit grandma, grandma misses you so much, let's go in and sit at the dinner table, grandma will take food for you.” While saying so, the grandmother disappeared behind the living room before Dogma and Freya could take control of the situation.

Freya and Dogma obeyed the grandmother. The two of them sat at the dining table in confusion on each other's heads.

“Drink, grandma bring sweets and warm tea for you.” Suddenly, the grandmother appeared from behind the door.

“Nek, thank you for your kindness, but I think grandma misunderstood us. We are not grandchildren grandma.” Freya tried to speak up.

“What are you talking about Freya? You and Dogma are Grandma's favorite grandchildren. Whatever happens please don't forget it.” The grandmother said while rubbing Freya's head and embracing Dogma.

There is a sudden horror that permeates the mind

Dogma and Freya. They immediately brushed off the grandmother's hand from the top of their body and immediately got up from the chair to keep their distance from the grandmother.

“Do not be afraid, grandma will not do evil to

both. Be a granddaughter for seven days and grandma will tell you which direction to go. And you can call me Grandma Hito. Isn't this a mutually beneficial offer?” Hito's grandmother asked as she thrust out a hand hoping that the two of them would return her hand.

“Please give us time to discuss.” Dogma immediately pulled Freya's hand and whispered something.

“We agree.” Dogma finally opened his voice after a brief discussion with Freya.

“Grandma will pick vegetables in the garden beside the house for our dinner, you guys wait here.”

Grandma Hito immediately tote a bag of woven bamboo.

Freya and Dogma wait for Hito's grandmother inside the house while thinking about the possibilities that Hito's grandmother would do to them. After leaving for about an hour, Hito's grandmother returned with a bag full of various vegetables. Grandma Hito immediately went to the kitchen to cook the vegetables. Freya and Dogma were still sitting in the living room with their own thoughts.

“The meal is ready, come here, let's eat together.” Grandma Hito called them both. They did not even eat the dishes served by Hito's grandmother, seeing this Hito's grandmother reprimanded them.

“Eat, before the food gets cold, just relax grandma won't poison you.” Said Grandma Hito while scooping food into her already wrinkled mouth.

Eventually they devoured the food on their plates until it ran out. After finishing eating, Hito's grandmother escorted them to the room behind the living room for them to live in. There was a long chair and a cot, Freya slept on a cot while Dogma slept in a long chair in the same room.
