The Magic Of Akademic

53 - The Story of the Dead

A cold night in the village of South Earth, someone was still looking ahead. The night wind waved his black robe. Behind, a white-haired person was unmoved. Staring at his back for five minutes no words came out of the two.

Still in shock, Amdara took a deep breath. He was so confused what to say, when before he thought that the person he was chasing was a human who controlled the undead. But now .. I don't know, Amdara doesn't want to say it.

"You're good at running around."

Ang said without looking back. Amdara was shocked to hear it. He mumbled in response.

"You too."

Both are silent again. Amdara dared to come closer because he felt Ang could be spoken to, the little boy also did not prevent Amdara who was now on the side.

Amdara could not see Ang's face because it was covered in a head covering. However, Amdara somehow still felt sadness at the tone Ang played.

"Ang, can you explain?"

Amdara asked carefully. Although Ang is now different from the one he met in the hallway, the boy could have immediately eliminated Amdara for daring to disturb him. Moreover, Amdara certainly will not be able to fight.

I heard a breath of Ang. "What do you want to explain?"

"About you and the village of South Earth."

Amdara is convinced that Ang is no ordinary boy. There must have been something hidden all along. There is a puzzle that no one has been able to solve for a long time and about the mission written deliberately by someone.

Ang walked forward five steps, then stopped. Ang said coldly, "who would you dare to ask that?"

Hearing that sentence increased Amdara was sure there was something in this village. And the mysterious identity of Ang.

"I'm your friend."

Either got the courage from which Amdara said so. Those two words slid without warning. Amdara even after biting her lower lip worriedly.

No reaction from the recipient. Amdara became tense himself, afraid if Ang immediately attacked.

It is still a mysterious thing about Ang. Is it true that the boy is an undead or an ordinary human or even some other creature?

"Friends?" Ang said coldly, "you consider me a friend?"

Amdara flinched, he immediately replied with a mutter. The mood instantly changed as Ang turned around and then said, "how do you think I'm a friend?"

Being asked such an unexpected question made Amdara take a deep breath. "You and I talked five minutes earlier. I consider it the beginning of friendship. No matter who you are, I consider you a friend."

The explanation that Ang thought was strange made him raise his eyebrows next to. Does anyone say someone can be a friend just because they've been talking for five minutes? Hah, it feels strange to hear Amdara's words. Previously Amdara also said that Ang had his own reasons, no matter what he meant.

Ang turned back. He looked ahead with a strange feeling. "Friends yeah ...."

Although Ang was not sure whether Amdara was speaking honestly or not, he instead asked, "before you considered me an undead?"

Amdara gulps. He initially did think so, but after hearing her subtle tone and feelings that Ang was not a part of them.

"Do you believe me?" Ang asked seriously sounded from his tone of speech.

Although they are both strangers, Amdara tries to keep Ang talking. "certain. You're my friend."

"alright. You can't believe my words. I'm not an undead, I'm just like you."

Hearing him, Amdara again flinched. If Ang was not an undead, but what did the word 'sorry' mean at that time? Then if humans, why did Ang not contract the disease?

And it seems Ang knows the contents of his new friend's mind. Ang explained a little that he had not contracted the disease before because he could control the forces differently from the villagers, his life was full of sad events as long as the villagers of South Earth one by one contracted the disease and over time because there was no outside help, they became undead all this time.

Ang still tells the story, he seems to have considered Amdara is not a stranger anymore.

"Why don't you seek help?"

The question from Amdara was answered with a sad expression Ang.

"No one dared to step into this village. Long time ago, no one helped us."

Ang can't help the villagers, because he's also just a boy who still needs protection and can't get out of the village for a reason. Amdara asked the reason. Ang said that as the village was cursed, anyone who came out of the village would be instantly killed within five steps of the village gate. Since Ang was born, this village has been cursed for a long time and Ang can not say when exactly.

Amdara clenched his hands. There was anger in the chest because no one was helping. True what the Village Chief said, the government of Nirwana Earth Country is having its own problems or does not care about the community. There was no danger Amdara felt, he stepped forward, and then patted Ang on the shoulder until he jolted.

"You can tell me to feel more relieved."

Ang looked at Amdara, something warm creeping into the body. A warmth long long missed.

"You know, these villagers are suffering. Every day they cried out in pain, the contagious disease called Black Disease. I don't know the cure and just cry when all my family feels pain." Ang's body is shaking. But he continued the story.

"Actually these villagers have great power. But all of that is completely useless. Not even a village healer can concoct the medicine."

This disease is transmitted through the air. As the Village Chief said and seen by the eyes of the head of Amdara about the characteristics of the disease.

Amdara can feel the pain felt by the villagers of Bumi Selatan and Ang themselves. If he experienced it, Amdara is not sure still standing firmly like Ang.

Seeing Ang's body shaking violently like crying, unexpectedly Amdara hugged Ang.

Ang is made to flinch, but he does not refuse or intend to take off the warm embrace of his new friend.

Amdara patted Ang's back softly and said, "now you'll never be alone again."

Ang is shedding tears. His mess was heard by Amdara himself who was hugging tightly trying to calm down.

That night, Amdara did not expect the original story that unfolded in the village of South Earth. The tragic story experienced by this Southern Earth village is truly shocking. It's a big mistake for everyone who hears stories about Southern Earth villagers who have been exposed to infectious diseases but they're paying attention to their ears. Not reaching out makes many lives lost. If there was help long ago, it is likely that the villagers would not die from deadly diseases. It is possible that little Ang can feel the warmth of a family instead of living alone with a sense of loneliness and dangerous circumstances.

If only Amdara could help a little so that the death of the villagers of Bumi Selatan better, maybe Amdara would not feel guilty.

Is this the reason why Ang plays his offline tone? Loneliness and the pain of life.
