The Thousand Year Dynasty

12.5. Antology Story: Lucia III Holiday

"So Mr Selene, is it possible for the beast to be tamed for someone else?" Cedrik asked as he and some of his members were praying in front of the Selene courtyard in the west, which had only been completed two days earlier.

"Allows Mr. Cedrik. Their origin is accepted by the wild animals or livestock" replied Selene terlihwt was twisting the weave of woll on a log.

Popo, the wolf Selene was sitting curled up with her head propped up on her front legs. Relax. While his Red Tail eagle was perched on a wooden pole right next to the entrance. While the Cleavage Tail fox is hiding among the branches in a young tree not far from the yard of the house.

"How can we be accepted by this animal?" Shuri heard asking because he was also curious. The hunter-gatherer girl sat next to Margaret opposite Cedrik.

"So, the tamer will communicate and then offer the person who wants to be his partner earlier to the animal. If he is as pure as he is, the animal will be faithful and consider him its master. And if not, he will run away" explained Selene who took a new log to continue rolling the woll.

"Oh, like a liaison?" Said Cedrik who began to understand the concept.

"That's right, Mr. Cedrik. Like that's about"

"And what is the criterion for being their master?" This time Shuri asked.

"Well, if that's not all I understand, Miss Shuri. It seems that in my experience, the criteria are never the same in every animal" Selene replied later.

"So apparently" Cedrik and Shuri looked lethargic.

"Did Mr. Cedrik and Ms. Shuri want a companion animal?" Selene asked looking at Cedrik and Shuri's reaction.

"Yes, actually so. But I also have not decided what kind of companion animal and also not sure will be accepted by the animal" Cedrik sounded blessed.

"It's okay, Mr. Cedrik. There's nothing wrong with trying" Selene cheered.

"True too"

Then the whistle of the steam train was heard from a distance. The wolf saw Selene raising her head to look towards the incoming steam train. The eagle immediately jumped and swept into space.

"Who is that?" Margaret asked as she narrowed her eyes at the puff of ashab from a distance.

"Come"

.

The Red-Tailed Eagle flew low beside the carriage as the steam train began to close to the stopping station close to the Selene area building a place for the animals. The elanh slid right next to the window where Lucia was sitting. Lucia looked at the eagle with flowers.

Then the eagle screamed loudly as if not to be outdone by the whistle of the steam train. Soaring into space, which then swooped sharply towards Selene and then perched on her shoulders.

Cedrik and his four members, following Selene, greeted Lucia, who appeared to have just gotten off the train.

"You came alone, princess?" Cedrik asked the question when no one came out of the carriage behind Lucia.

"You're not running away, are you?" This time it was Margaret who asked making sure with a little joking.

"No-no. Because it's my day off, so I just want to walk around. And unfortunately it coincides with Jean who gets the task of delivering something with Miss Helen to the outside of Pharos" Lucia replied with a small laugh.

"Oh, is that what it looks like? You can ask Mr. Caspian to take care of you" Cedrik said.

"It's okay. Don't worry, you guys" Lucia replied still with a small laugh.

Cedrik seemed to nod, though he was still worried that Lucia was traveling alone to the western region. Although after cleaning, this area is safe to go through.

"Then, what made the princess come here?" This time Selene asked.

"I guess I just want to see the territory where the animals are kept" Lucia replied quickly.

"Oh, if that is the case, I will show you princess" Selene replied as she let Lucia walk in front of her.

Then Lucia walked followed by Selene, Cedrik, Margaret, Shuri, Diana, and Axel. Popo the wolf Selene walked next to them.

And once out of the station building, Lucia was treated to the scenery that impressed her.

Among the workers who looked back and forth lifting something on their shoulders, there were several buildings standing on a field of land with a fence that surrounded and divided 4 plots of area containing several horses, a pair of Dodo birds that look as big as a horse, goat, cow, and**** forest.

Then on the sidelines of a river canal with a waterwheel in the middle, there are buildings with different sizes and shapes that are not symmetrical. Inside there are egg-producing poultry, and meat-producing poultry.

Not far from that place there was a tree that seemed to have just been planted in that place. There was a small rock next to it. Then the windmill tower, and a wooden house right in front of the rock cliff earlier. It was Selene's house.

A wooden fence was standing behind the house. Extending back and west to the invisible end. It was an area that would be used to make animal sanctuaries. Antelope Cinder's nest is also included.

The workers' tents are far to the east of the farm.

Indeed, in the region will only be inhabited by Selene and her brother only. While the workers got land closer to the Ellian plantation area. And they have to come and go from that place every day.

"Is that your home, Mr. Selene?"

"True princess"

"Well, it's peaceful"

"Thank you, princess, I'm just making things up"

"Is that tree there before?"

"No, princess. Mr. Aksa who yesterday helped plant it in that place"

"Can this tree grow on this land? Isn't that an Oak tree, which used to grow on the slopes .a lush hill"

"That's really the princess, it's an Oak tree. According to Lord Aksa, by making a stream next to him and burying animal dung around his roots, the tree will survive. At least for the first year"

"And why do you want this tree here?"

"Side will be useful for foxes, birds, and insects as a place to live, also because this is a test tree. Which will be planted in the future in the context of animal sanctuary behind it"

"Oh, right too. So behind that is Antelope Cinder's nest?"

"That's just the princess"

"And what are all the animals we have, all in this place?" Lucia asked again.

"For a while, princess. Because for animals in certain regions, such as oceans and mountains, we have not touched at all"

"Oh, right too. Speaking of the ocean, if we keep going west, we'll see the ocean?" Lucia changed the subject.

"Right, princess" this time Cedrik answered.

"Can I go there? I want to see the beach" Lucia looks hopeful.

"From the last station in the west, you still have to walk again through the cliff to get to the beach" explained Cedrik later.

"Do you have to walk far?"

"Not really. Is the princess going there, now?" Ask Cedrik.

"Right, I want to go there now"

"Alright then, we will control" said Cedrik then offered help.

"Is it not a hassle? Does it not interfere with your work?" Looks Lucia made sure.

"We're relaxed now. Our work was done this afternoon. Now it's our other friend's turn to go around" explained Cedrik answering Lucia's question.

"Well, fine then. Thank you"

.

And then Lucia, Cedrik, Margaret, Shuri, Diana, and Axel, started to board the train carriage and continued walking westward.
