WHITE DEVIL

34 Welcome

“Wait-wait, I can explain.”

“I don't need your explanation Wira.”

The hero swallowed the spit. His body pecked, in one second all the views were fixed on him as if he was looking at a criminal.

The hero bowed while squeezing the fingers.

The afternoon sun was losing light. Slowly the darkness devours everything. The forest became very late. The gaze became faint and the Pieces of Hope glowed beautifully green.

“Because I know, you are a good person.” Reply Arif with a smile. The hero feels misheard.

“Why?” Unknowingly the sentence came out of the Hero who was still sculpting.

“Why? Surely because we're friends. Speak if there is a problem yes.” Arif patted Wira's back and stood up.

“Hopeful Points have been found. But since it's getting dark, let's get ready to spend the night.” Said Arif happily.

His friends then grumbled at Arif and asked him a lot about the Hope Puck. Arif answered with pleasure.

Strange, it was not usually the Hope Puck lit up. Inner Arif.

The hero was still in his position, he patted both cheeks hard to remove the banquet. However, his heart was still anxious about many things. What does Arif think? Is Arif trying to hide his anger?

All the negative thoughts entering the mind makes the Hero some moments worried.

The hero acknowledges in his heart that his actions are very wrong. Stealing his best friend's most valuable things, it's not wrong to call him a traitor.

“No, no, no.” The hero shook his head strongly. “This journey must continue.” The hero lifted his bag and joined the others.

The hero is determined to apologize even though in the end he still can not convey it. A hero is a person with a mysterious aura. For those who are not used to it, just sitting there feels uncomfortable.

However, because he spoke little, Wira also had problems in communication. Until now, the disease is still rooted in him.

@@@

“Hooom.” The coals evaporated wide and straightened his body. His eyes were staring around the still dark. Nebulous views. Only Faga is awake and ready for the ride.

“One morning you woke up, even though my body was still a little sore.” Said Bara while putting her sleeping bag into the bag.

“A leader should make sure members are in good condition.” Faga said, his voice was also sounding spirit. Not as lackluster as just waking up.

“Heh, you are amazing. Didn't you try to wake the others?” Bara advises while rubbing the face to eliminate drowsiness.

“No, I think they still need a break. Especially Eloquent, Arif, and Hero. I'm sure both of them yesterday had a pretty painful inner war.”

“Inner war. What do you mean?” Bara sat down beside Faga who stared at the excitement.

“This is just my opinion. You know not the Wira family background. I thought it had something to do with Arif's Puck of Hope. I don't know what Wira is thinking, I'm sure he doesn't want to show the problem he's facing.”

“Never change yes.” Bara.

“True, never changed. And rather than that, we better surprise our juniors by preparing everything before the trip.” Faga said quite loudly.

“Junior. Oh yes we are the oldest.”

“True.” Faga stood up, preparing to clean up the remains overnight.

“Speaking about age makes envy with Pala-lapa. Why did he sell first?” Said Bara while facing Faga. His voice sounded annoyed.

“Whose soul knows? Instead of thinking about it, you better focus on yourself to get better. Let's help me clean up.”

“Good captain.” Bara advanced with half his spirit evaporating.

“Captain, we'll start this early.” Eloquently rubbed his eyes that were still red. The imprints of the curse were still on his face.

“Of course, we all want to quickly see the form of Dream Forest. Can't you feel this beating.” Reply Faga excited, the sentence blazing.

“In this case we are a little different captain.”

“Oh so. The other how, is it ready.” Pala-lapa, Arif, and Wira had already prepared themselves. Special Hero, Faga noticed it a little longer.

His face was frozen again without exprey. I hope he's okay.

The group of six continued on their journey. Routes are getting harder. High-leafed trees, all vine and bland plants, sounds of forest animals that sound suspicious. All of this can invite its own anxiety.

“So this is the river?” Be fluent in making sure not to look wrong. His eyes looked back at the old map.

“Mistake no more, our last hurdle before reaching Dream Forest.” Faga blurted while raising eyebrows.

“Do anyone have any suggestions to cross?” Everyone seems to be thinking about that.

“Give me time.” Fluent in hard thinking mode.

The final hurdle before reaching the Dream Forest.

The great river is strong. The length between the edges reaches thirty meters. The sound of the river was heard loudly. It was enough to draw how strong this river current was, strong enough to saturate a large rock or a giant tree trunk.

The river is also full of rocks, if dragged by the current will certainly hit the river stones. If so, the choice is two options for the victim, return home or return to the side of God.

“Do not be a coward.” The voice sounded quite loud, breaking the silence. That's the Pala-lapa.

“We have never jumped from the top of the highest waterfall in Rakatta. You're Bara, ever ridden****big forest. Arif, your face holds the most ball kicks, and Faga. I know you once argued with the village chief_”

“Teach father and son arguing.” Inner Faga.

“We are brave kids. Nature children. And surely we will reach the Dream Forest after passing this hurdle.”

“Hahaha, that's so cool Pala.” Closer, responding.

“But make sure you're safe or_” Bara then whispers in Pala's ear. Pala's face instantly flushed. He started to misbehave.

“Dia.” Bara pointed to the Hero. The spirit looked at him with a sinless gaze. “You, haphazardly!”

They also laugh together.

“So how, anyone has got an idea?” Eloquently switching his gaze at the others, his voice clashed with the sound of the river flow. Everything's shaking.

“How do you think you're using my Universe Ability.” Bara lift up.

“Universal Capabilities? But what can be used in this situation.” I look worried answering it. There will begin to feel sacrifices here.

“Do not think my five years are wasted. I trained him.” Arif who was presenting plans to Faga turned to Bara. And so did the others, focused on him.

“How are you going to do it?” Eloquent speech sounds threatening.

“I'll try splitting sungaimya.”

Everyone who heard it was shocked. The river was thirty meters wide with a very swift current. It is not yet known whether any predator lives there, and Bara tries to divide it?

Faga switched to focus. Both of his eyes were closed in a sitting position cross-legged on a large river stone

“Everything's away from Bara. Give time to focus.” Arif Command.

Arif knows what Bara will do. His eyes looked in admiration at the big man.

The source of the power of the Universe Ability is the dark energy locked within the body, and the key for dark energy to flow like a blood stream is with concentration. Arif remembered the word.

Everyone closed their mouths, only the sound of the pounding of the river seemed not to receive the arrival of the six spitters.

Half an hour passed, Bara's body was already filled with clear bubbles. His sweat ran down his forehead, face, back, and arms. Several times Bara is seen growling to achieve maximum concentration.

Eloquent actually wanted to oppose it, but Faga held it back. “Let him do the thing he wants to do.”

The sweat on his chin dripped, the forest birds flew from the tops of the trees, and Bara opened her eyes wide. His right hand held out as if giving orders to the river. Bara's expression was like in the rain of something very strong.

Nothing happened.

“This captain will never make it. The ability of the Universe is very illogical.” Eloquent protest to Faga.

“Please wait a minute. Under certain conditions you must trust your best friend and let go of your logic. Rest assured Bara, she is fighting hard.” Whisper Faga on Fluent. I choose to stay quiet longer.

Half an hour passed back and finally something shocking happened. From the front of Bara's seat to the other side. Draw a straight line two meters wide where the river water does not touch the area.

Amazing view. The river opened its way, both sides were swept away gracefully like a preoccupied cloth.

“Come fast, don't daydream.” Shouts Fluent.

Everything is ready with hanging roots tied to the waist. The hanging roots are tied to each other to connect when crossing the river. For safety.

Although Bara's efforts were successful, it did not rule out the possibility of a sudden collapse of the water wall.

In an instant, admiration turned into panic. All crossed the path that Bara made carefully. Chest thumping fast. Every one of them was convinced that this path did not last long.

Eloquent who walked the front, followed by Arif, Pala-lapa, Wira. At the very back of Faga was holding a fainted Bara.

Move your feet quickly and carefully. Do not stumble or fall. Do not be too slow or the water wall on the right and left will collapse first. A very stressful experience.

Arif held his breath. Another bit.

A thrilling journey arrives at the end. Arif, Eloquent, and Pala had gone up into every river.

The hero extended his hand to Faga. Faga tried to grab it but the river water preceded.

The spirit held tightly to the rock next to it, its entire body instantly wet. He's still lucky. Unlike Faga who had been dragged by strong river currents, his back hit the river stone very hard.

But the hanging roots tied to him made him connect so that Faga was dragged not so far away. It's still incredibly difficult.

Fluent, Pala, and Arif who have been crossed trying to attract. As powerful as possible. The river current was so strong that even the three of them were dragged into the river several times.

“You tie this rope to a tree.” Shouts Fluent. Pala immediately responded.

With maximum energy, the third to the trunk of the nearest large tree and then the nutmeg tie a hanging root there. Nutmeg made sure many times, this bond was already very strong.

“Already.” His screams gave the code. The three immediately ran to Wira.

Eight hands immediately pulled the tensed hanging root.

The bonds of friendship compete with the river. Who will win?

“Past we succeeded. Friends do not give up keep pulling the roots as strong as possible.” Among the perfect river water soaked the three voices echoing loudly as if the power that was awakened from its long slumber.

No one thought that sentence came out of the verbal Hero. “Everything is stronger!” Fluent follow.

The exciting drag scene lasted quite a long time. Their hands were already tired while the river current was never tired to flow.

There was an air explosion around the six teenagers. The force of the explosion made the river water ejected into the sky.

In a split second that was extremely fast, the six of them were immediately on the river bank. Arif did not have time to digest the situation. Irregular breathing, heart beating very fast and painful. It just felt like death was living one more day.

Arif is trying to control his exhausted self. Breath was broken and many river water entered his body. Arif spewed out the river water that entered the mouth.

Arif's eyes caught something in front of him. His eyes instantly changed as if he saw the greatest threat.

A group of tall humans with dark skin. Wearing a wooden mask with ancient face carvings with high-art strokes.

They aimed sharp spear eyes at the six teenagers.

Arif gulped, a very unfriendly welcome.
