WHITE DEVIL

37 Back

The weather was clear that morning. Last night was one of the best nights for the six friends.

Now the six are preparing themselves for the long journey home.

While watching his friends who were playing around, Arif sat thinking about many things about Die Hyang.

The words of the Dream Goddess made him know how important his position as the successor of Die Hyang was. It's a heavy responsibility even Arif hesitates to be able to shoulder alone. That's what made him look quieter this morning.

“Thinking things Arif?” The Goddess of Dreams appeared beside Arif. She was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. A long black cloth that covers the entire body.

“Goddess, I feel I do not fit into this responsibility.” Arif said in a limp tone.

“Why? Destiny has chosen you as the successor of Die Hyang.” The Dream Goddess sat beside Arif.

“I am a white hair man. I was banished by the inhabitants as a child, all insulting me. Just because I blackened my hair all changed. But still I'm the white-haired human that everyone curses. No one expected someone like me to dance Die Hyang.” Arif said it while bowing.

“Stop thinking negatively, Arif. If that's why Haz has so much trouble teaching you Die Hyang. He better pass it on to someone more worthy, but why did he choose you? It's because you have value. Maybe you're cursed by the world, but that doesn't mean the world won't expect you. To grow, plants need soil, water, and light. Missing one alone there will be no plants growing.”

Arif thought about the sentence. True, Arif was too negative thinking until he was blind to the truth that there are many people who always expect his presence.

“Thank you, goddess. This conversation makes me feel better.” Arif smiled faintly.

“Close with me, there is something I want to show the successor to Die Hyang.” The Dream Goddess stood up and started to step up.

Arif followed without asking.

The two entered a more lush forest and headed for another place. Along the way Arif turned right and left, there were many totems standing here.

The more it enters, the more dense the forest becomes. Various plants grow and more lush trees. Arif continued to follow the Goddess of Dreams on that path.

They both came to a tree that was the tallest. It may be thirty meters high with dense green foliage at its peak. The main trunk is large and there is a lot of writing on the surface.

The large tree was covered in a sea of blue, pink, and purple flowers. Steps must be careful not to step on it.

“Please, Arif.” The Goddess of Dreams handed over a sharpened stone pointy. “Please give your name on the tree.” The goddess pointed at the giant tree.

Arif nodded and advanced.

Arif watched the tree trunk for a moment. There were so many name carvings on it but there were many writings that he did not understand. These names must be very important. “Hyang Die Successor?” Arif guessing in the heart.

Arif is looking for an empty spot on the trunk. By applying pressure to the taper end of the stone, Arif began writing his name.

“Have Dewi.” Arif handed the stone.

“This tree has been around for a long time even before I was born. Engraved on its trunk were important names. Heroes, doctors, kings, knights, leaders, adventurers and many others. They are the ones whose struggle is able to change the world and from now on you are a part of them. So prepare yourself as best you can.” The Dream Goddess smiled at. A excited smile.

Arif replied with a similar smile.

“I have two requests on Arif.”

“Ya goddess.”

“Can stop calling me goddess. I actually don't like that call. Just call Viola, sound more friendly.”

“Good. Viola, so?”

“Yes that sounds better. Then my second request, after you have mastered the forty-first Die Hyang dance, dance on the Altar of Meeting. We definitely came to watch it.”

“Surely, I will give you news after mastering his forty-one dances.” Arif shouted while giving a thumbs up.

@@@

“Viola, can I take the flowers here?” Arif crouched down while watching the beautiful blooming flowers in front of him.

“Maybe as long as you don't break it.”

“Thanks.” Viola turned to Arif who was busy picking the flowers. Arif's face looked overjoyed, smiling widely.

After collecting enough banya, Arif began to focus on arranging the flowers. Unite one with another. Arif did not turn his head in the slightest from his work, he was very focused.

“What is a gift for the person you like?”

The wind blew strong enough, shaking the beautiful flower petals. Along with that Arif sculpted with a reddened face. Arif instantly covered his face with both palms. Caught.

“Don't be shy. That kind of thing won't make me laugh at you.” Viola said with a soft tone.

“True it.” Arif opened his face, Viola was seen holding back a laugh. The goddess can be like this. Arif Gumam.

“Sorry-sorry.” Viola tried to lose his laughter.

“From that, can I know who the person who will be the successor pair Die Hyang.” Viola went back to teasing, his voice this time was more annoying.

Arif's face was getting red. Arif shook his head and focused on work. Arif tried to cover his ears from the viola's tearing.

“Casual Arif, such feeling is normal. But you should know yourself.” Viola's tone of voice turned serious. Arif looked at her with an unpleasant feeling.

“If you want to be in a relationship with a person you like, intertwine in a sacred bond. Destiny has proven how many couples make love in an illegitimate bond. In the end they fell into sin and their dealings with the God of Catastrophe got longer. This is a little piece of advice from me Arif.” Look at Viola's eyes looking very serious.

Arif gulps. It turned out that he was still too innocent to trace this realm.

“If you are sure of the woman you choose, hurry up and make a sacred bond. Many people who claim to love their partner but do not dare to purify their relationship because of many things. Those are the people I hate the most. And for you Arif_” Viola approached and patted Arif's shoulder strongly.

The eyes of the two meet.

It makes Arif goosebumps.

“I support you. Name's Sheiny. I'm sure she can be a good mother.”

Arif can breathe a sigh of relief.

“Hey Arif, where have you been. We waited for you long.” The first time I greeted.

Arif watched his five best friends. Everything is ready. As scheduled today is the time of celebration. Arif was standing next to his friends.

“Hayo what are you doing with the chief?” Fluent smacking Arif.

“No, we only talk small.”

“Be careful Arif, your actions could provoke the anger of the residents.” Faga says. His tone was serious, as well as the look in his eyes.

“That's right, you can be the months of the inhabitants later.” Bara added.

“May you be safe until home.” Pala also followed meledek.

“Hey that's not true, we're just talking about a few things. What's wrong Wira?” Arif looked at the Hero in front of him who stuck out his right hand.

“Give me your bag. So you won't have any trouble running.” Ucapa Wira with a flat tone. Until he followed along too.

The conversation took place in sign language. The residents waved and said in their language, “When to stop by ya.” Real crowded.

"I've seen your past. Don't let a human feeling like white hair blow you away. Now it's time to open a new page. You have to believe in yourself. Prove that even the cursed man is capable of being the greatest hero." That was the advice Viola gave.

And it turns out that the surprise is not enough to get there.

From the sky appeared a powerful wind blow. Four tall men wearing golden white uniforms descended from the sky. They have eagle heads and beautiful wings on their backs. Their bodies are strong and strong. Each one carried a silver spear.

The four Eagle Man was bowed before the Dream Goddess. They kneeled down and put down their weapons.

His fourth arrival made the atmosphere become rowdy. Step home the six friends were stopped to witness things that had never been imagined by them. Each eye looked on with astonishment without blinking.

“We are from the surveillance team, ready to report.” One of the eagle men spoke in a firm tone. Arif and the others could not understand their language

“Sorry, we can do after this. Conditions are not so precarious is not.”Pinta Dewi Dream to the four.

“Good Goddess.” Answer them in unison, as loud as before. The Eagle Man was very obedient.

“I want to bring you guys to the successor of Die Hyang. His name is Arif, a man of white hair.” The Goddess of Dreams pointed at Arif. The faces of the four Eagle Humans instantly turned shocked.

“Maybe the Successor and his friends will be happy if you drive home.”

“It was an honor for us.” The four eagle-men bowed their heads again.

The four walked closer to Arif. It made Fluent tremble, his premonition was not good. “Quiet, these Eagle Humans are good. They want to drive you home.” Say the Goddess of Dreams to Arif and friends.

The four of them stood in formation around Arif and his companions. For a second they noticed Arif then focused on the task this time.

Each of the Eagle Humans stomped the silver spear eyes onto the ground. Two seconds later, from under the feet of the six companions came a whirling wind. The wind formed a ball and floated in the air.

Arif and the others were now in an air sphere with a diameter of eight meters. Inside the ball of air it felt fresh and comfortable. “Great, amazing.” Faga commented with semengat.

Arif looked around the airball. It exceeded even his imagination.

The four eagle men began to flap their wings, preparing to fly. The air ball is floating higher. Once high enough in the air, the four eagle-men flapped their powerful wings and glided swiftly in the air.

The air balls in their guard also glided.

“We are really lucky. I must always remember this.” Eloquently smiling widely.

“Haha, I finally feel like I can fly.” Pala and Bara said simultaneously. Both of them laughed.

There was no need to linger, the distance of tens of kilometers was met quickly.

The Eagle Man lowered them near the village so as not to attract suspicion. Viola also told her to keep this a secret.

The six of them said many thanks to the Eagle Man and then went home to each other. The four Man Eagle saluted Arif before leaving. Arif also paid his respects.

This is the most incredible experience in life.

Arriving at Arif's house recounts his journey. Grandma, Sister Haz, and Sheiny are listening carefully. Arif does not tell everything, only fun things and that does not invite unclear questions.

It can be complicated later.

“This Sheiny.” Arif put the crown of flowers on Sheiny's head.

It takes maximum courage to do this. Honestly, Arif's body shakes when giving the surprise.

Sheiny was surprised. A few seconds his face was blushing due to Arif's mannerisms. Arif who knew it felt like he had just done the wrong thing.

Grandma and Sister Haz who are still in Sheiny's room were quite surprised by Arif's actions. Their children have changed a lot. Both smiling.

“Thanks.” Sheiny said. Arif's face was also bowed and flushed.

@@@

Years have passed. Many things have changed, both Rakatta Village and Arif and his friends.

Morning as usual, when the air most immediately enveloped the earth and the sunlight was not so bright. This is the best time to train Die Hyang and that is what Arif is doing now.

Arif has come to the thirtyth dance. A very fast development of recall he had enough difficulty in memorizing many movements.

Arif takes it very seriously. Although cold, his sweat had dripped. The posture, movement, and tempo of each dance must be completely similar in order to maintain the purity of Die Hyang. That's what makes Die Hyang so hard to master.

“Halo Arif, long time no see.” Arif who was resting noticed the tree turned to the origin of the sound.

His eyes widened full of longing staring at the figure in front of him.

The Doctor Who Conquered Death returns.
