The Secrets of Ebuh Island and the Knight's Mission

Chapter 28. Memories that are forgotten

Asleen her mother's voice was heard in Anna's ear calling Asleen's name 12 years ago. In the same place and in the same room but different atmosphere. At that time there were no confinements, only a small mattress and a long table containing a glass tube and a steaming cauldron. It happened when Anna was a child. After Asleen kidnaps him from Rosmae's house.

“Asleen open the door, I know you're with Anna, let her go!” his mother shouted banging on the door with all her might.

“Mama.” Little Anna runs towards where her mother's voice came from but is pulled by Asleen. “Shut!” Asleen covered Anna's mouth with her hands.

“Asleen please, release Anna!” His mother tried to break down the door. Anna's scared. He tried to escape from Asleen's clutches. He ran towards the door, but was again caught by Asleen.

“Mama..” Scream fear. Asleen slapped Anna and exclaimed, “ Shut up. Stupid kid.” It scared Anna. He cried with pain.

“Anna knows nothing. It was a kid. Nangan hurt him. Please Asleen!” His mother is still trying to break down the door.

“I hate you, ever since you teased my sister, you changed my sister! It's your fault I lost my power!” He shouted at the woman across the door.

“Then you hurt me, not my son!” Pinta the woman.

“Remember this, when you were helpless to save your son from me!” Asleen grabbed the spelt glass tube and broke it into sharp pieces of glass. He directed her to little Anna who was curled up crying in fear.

BRAKKS..

The sound of the door being pushed open was crammed by the black-haired woman in a dirty and disheveled dress. His eyes were wet with tears. He snatches Anna from Asleen's clutches, holds her in his arms, protects her from Asleen. “Let go of him!” His gray eyes glared at Asleen.

“It's not our fault that your father took your power! You are the cause!“ Anna's mother yelled at Asleen who was brandishing a pointed glass tube towards them.

“My father died and he took my power with him. Now, my brother the thief who became Breh, that must be your plan. You husband and wife conspired to do this to me!” Accuse Asleen.

“No! Before your father died, he left his throne to your brother. And he took away your power because you used it wrong, you played humans, made them slick about your experiment. That's the reason he's angry with you,” Anna's mother told Asleen but Asleen didn't respond.

“You defend man because you are now human. You're stupid and they're stupid, they should be happy to be my guinea pig. They should thank me.” Asleen was insistent on looking down on humans.

“No! you're wrong, man doesn't want to be your rabbit. And I'll make sure you stop torturing them!” Challenge Anna's Mother.

“I'll kill you first. Keep this in mind, I will gather my followers and will attack your people tonight.”

“I won't let you!”

“You can what? Now that you are no longer a Goddess, you are just a weak human!” Asleen attacks Anna's mother but is repelled by her, causing the glass tube to be thrown and broken on the floor. Anna hugged her mother tightly, afraid of her aunt's madness. Asleen quickly snatched one of the potion tubes containing poison that was lying on the table.

“Dee!” Anna's mother. Dee, a little elf with an expanding smile appears clutching Anna and her mother's hands, then disappears before the poison Asleen throws at them.

They show up at a fairy birthday party.

“Dee, please take Anna out of this world. Hide her!” Anna's mother begged Dee. And Dee nodded. Dee was a kid at the time. It can be said that they are still children. Please, never leave a child to another child. Dangerous. But Anna's mother had no choice at that time.

“Mama where to go?” Little Anna asked in tears, unwilling to let go of her mother's hand.

“Mama should go... work,” She said soothing. Little Anna is very clever. Since Anna's mother is also human, she has a double life. In the world of men and in the world of legends. While in the human world, he was a Wulan, a civil caste.

For the sake of hiding this world from humans, he was willing to go back and forth from his world to a parallel world. So, if he says goodbye to Anna, his son from a parallel world, he says that he works, and the smart Anna won't cry for her mother.

“Where will Mama work?” Ask little Anna.

“Faraway place,” said her mother wiped her daughter's tears.

“What's out of the island? “ ask Anna.

“Yes,” Her mother could not hold back her tears.

“As soon as Mama is done, mama will pick you up,” her mother promised.

“What Daddy will come with?” Ask again.

“Yes, sure dear,” said his mother hugged him tightly while crying.

“Anna smart boy, good with Dee yes.” His message and Anna nodded.

”Please take care of Anna,“ Pintanya on Dee. And Dee responded by nodding. Still smiling.

And before leaving, Wulan gave Anna a bag containing a wallet and a savings book and letters from her human life. Not to forget, Ball fog on Dee. Then Dee blows the mist and pulls Anna down the tunnel into the human world.

The tunnel ended up in a market. Apparently Anna's habit of separating from the entourage began as a child. He is separated from Dee. Two kids at the market alone. And they're separated. Anna is found by a knight who escorted her to an orphanage after reading the letters in her bag. While Dee, ended up in the forest with her wings that were forcibly taken by Rania's sister for her magic potion ingredients.

Now after twelve years, Anna remembers everything, remembering the memories she feared most. Memories that are thrown away in his memory. The memories he covered with the memories he wanted. But now he returns to his worst place, to the one who has separated himself from his family. Memories of his childhood are pleasant and end in tragedy. He looked at his aunt, in disbelief.

“Wah, a pleasant surprise,” said Asleen staring at Anna.

“Aibi..” whispers.

“Halo, my dearest nephew.”
