Part 185 First trip
The ten keys that were in the ten mysterious and dangerous places were their goal right now. As per the agreement, Rendra and Vin did not take part in the mission this time. Because of the condition of the returning Allea was two-bodied, Abi needed them to maintain the security of the village as long as they left.
As per the instructions from the stolen book that Wira had taken yesterday, there are already ten lists that are clearly written there.
Angikuni Village.
The village is located in the interior of the river and valley which is far from the settlement of other villages. What makes this village mysterious is the disappearance of the entire village in one night. Until now no one knew the whereabouts of the villagers.
Bayonetta House. A house that since the 10th century AD has been a cursed house. Because there was a terrible event in this place.
Ghost Lighthouse.
Mortem Insula. It is called the Island of Death. It is said that whoever comes to this place, will not survive.
Archanum Castle.
Blue Hole's.
The uninhabited island.
Witch's tomb.
Timbuktu with a magical gate.
A tomb with the inscription reads, "When I rise from the dead, the world will tremble"
Not all of these places are clearly described in the book. Then their job is to find where the ten places are. Starting from the first place, namely Angikuni Village. Since the trip Wira gave yesterday had Arya and Nayla drunk for almost a whole day, they would not do that again. "Don't expect me to go with him again!" cetus Arya glanced at Wira just before they started the journey. The hero only pulled next to his lips and entered the car where Gio was the driver.
They only used a Caravan that had been made by Gio for the past year. He was planning to travel to different cities, alone. It is undeniable, his age is no longer young, and also with all the bad things he experienced, losing a friend, making Gio tired of his life. He wants to do something different. It turned out that all his dreams of traveling were fulfilled. But he didn't do it alone. He did it with his friends. Friends who have returned now. It looks strange and the circumstances are a little different, but for Gio this is the best thing he wants.
As the owner of the caravan, Gio is now sitting in the steering chair. The heroes are now sitting next to him as their tour guide, with the notebook they need to get to those ten places. At the back of the car are Ellea, Nayla, Arya and Abhimanyu. The middle of the car is provided by two car seats facing the front.
"Tante Nayla, we're sitting in the back, yeah," asked Ellea. Nayla is a little distracted by the call of her aunt. "Eh, wait! What if we just call each other names? " ask Nayla with a reasonable offer. Although Nayla and Arya were Abhimanyu's parents, things are different now. They were much younger than Abhimanyu. It made Abhimanyu a little uncomfortable, he was definitely the hardest person to adjust to by calling the two people with no frills Father and Mother.
The car left the house. Allea, Vin and Rendra were just staring at their departure from the porch of the house. The house will be empty for quite a long time, and it is unpredictable when they will return. They don't even know if they're going back there or not.
The situation in the car was quiet, until finally Gio turned on the music to fill the silence this time. "Well, this song is legendary, yes" Arya said as an Aerosmith song bounces loudly along the caravan, accompanying their journey. "It's not your favorite song from a long time ago, Yes" Gio said as he glanced at the young man behind him.
"Really, right? Well, apparently my taste has not changed, yes," said Arya while enjoying the song. Abhimanyu who was sitting next to him was just silent, with a feeling of being unbecoming. He occasionally glanced at his father who was now younger than him. Arya who realized it then turned to Abi. "Hey, Bi, did I used to be a bitch?" arya asked with a question that made Abhimanyu slightly flinched.
"Eum, sucks in the sense of how?" ask Abi, doubt it.
"Nayla says I'm the most annoying and cold human being." Abi chuckled at the sentence, as he could imagine that his father remained the same. Even though they changed lives.
"Dad, it's a shitty guy, uh ... Sorry, I'm .. eum." Abi's sentence was cut because he realized his call for Arya had slid smoothly with his habits first. The situation became a little stiff, Wira and Gio also had a glance back. Where the conversation between fathers and children of different generations stops.
"Liet down. If you are more comfortable calling me that, I have no problem" explained Arya while patting Abhimanyu on the shoulder. He leaned on the back of the chair and grabbed his jacket. His eyes closed and did not realize that the man beside him was still silent. But Abhimanyu's lips smiled faintly. He now fixed his sitting position and turned to the side window. Maybe in this life they are not a father and son, but at least Abi seemed to get a second chance to get close to the figure of Arya and Nayla.
At the back of the caravan, two women who had met just a few hours ago actually looked familiar. Ellea does sometimes still look clumsy when dealing with Nayla. Not because Nayla is the mother of the man she loves, but Nayla's unique and intelligent character amazes Ellea.
"Wow, honestly, I've only met the Nephilim for the first time. You look beautiful to a Nephilim, Ell," praised Nayla with sparkling eyes. He looks sincere to Ellea.
"How do you know about the Nephilim, Nay?"
The girl looked up at the sky caravan sky, staring at the long lights that were above them. "About the hell, because the information about the Nephilim is not so much explained. Maybe it's because you have so little in the world. And Wira says, that you're the last Nephilim, huh? Well, those demons must have really been killing the other Nephilim."
"Hm, that's not funny in my opinion, but it's amazing, Ell. You guys are friends by protecting each other. Rendra, who is a werewolf, eum .. I can hardly believe that there are human-hearted werewolves."
"I also did not expect, if I could talk to the reincarnation of Abi's mother." Nayla looked at Ellea, then the two laughed together. "We're like a bunch of weirdos, yeah," Nayla said.
****
Their journey had already taken over 24 hours, the destination they were heading to was only a few hours away. Now Abhimanyu took turns driving in the company of Wira. The night was getting late, the four people behind had already slept soundly. Gio's caravan is indeed provided mattresses and some beds that have been modified in such a way for this narrow place. And a snoring sound sounded earthy in the back.
"It feels so long I don't hear the snoring voice of Gio and Arya who are mutually simple like that," mute Wira while looking back for a moment. Abhimanyu smiled and remained focused on driving. They pass through the rice fields and will soon enter the forest. Of course, paved roads are still visible in their visibility now.
Now that the road had turned into rocks, the paved road had been exhausted since a few meters behind them. "Om sure this is the place?" abi asked as he swept his gaze around.
"Related, Bi. I already know about this village, and this is indeed the village we are looking for" explained Wira.
However faintly before them were some people who were walking by carrying the branches of tree branches on their backs. "Eh, there's a person, Om," said Abi pointing at the 4 people in front of them. The car starts to slow down and Abi seems to want to approach the person. He stopped the car without turning off the engine. "Bi, what do you want?"
"Tell them to ask."
"Wait on! They're not human!" prevent the Hero, with a cold look.
When Abi began to believe Wira's words, the person in front of them stopped walking. Silence without turning their heads or moving the slightest bit from where they were standing. Abi and Wira were more worried. Abi glanced at the clock on his wrist. And it's past midnight, and it's strange to find anyone in such a remote place. Because the last village they passed by was already far away. No more settlements in close quarters.
"So what are they?" abi asked, keeping his eyes on the four people.
"The ghost! And, I'm sure only the two of us can see them, they can't" Wira said, looking back at their friend's friend. "What the hell, Om?"
"You want proof?" ask Wira, and Abi naturally nodded slowly. A ghost? Wow, this is unique. Abi was able to see ghosts a few times, but by the end of the day, he had not seen them again. The hero stuck his hand out backwards, where Gio was closest to them. Gio's body was awakened, in one touch Gio instantly woke up in shock. He sat down and was immediately upset.
"What the hell?! I know that dream again!" gio's Omelette.
"Gi, see that guy?" wira asked while pointing at where the four people were standing outside. Gio frowned and followed Wira's index finger. However, there was nothing Gio saw, only thatch in the middle of the forest. "What the hell? Where is anyone? So, why did we stop? It's still in the woods, right?" Gio then fixed the location of his pillow and went back to sleep.
"look, right? We're the only ones who see them" explained Wira.
"So what do we do, Om?"
"Go on."
The car is re-ignited, Abi follows the advice of the Hero by leaving the person the person indicated is a ghost in this area. A little bit of a creep he felt. And he continued to drive forward the car leaving a figure that was still standing without any movement.
They continued forward until they finally met the figure again. "Of! They again!" cetus Abhimanyu is confused. Because the figure they saw earlier, now again looks the same position. Abi hastened the speed of his vehicle. Now they are starting to feel uncomfortable with this situation. Abi continued to pay attention from the rearview and the longer the figure was increasingly invisible again.
He returned to driving a car casually, but only a few meters he began to calm down, now the figure of 4 ghosts was again seen in front. "God! What the fuck is this!" pekik Abhimanyu's. The heroes were astonished and felt that something was wrong with their trip.
"Stop, Bi!"
The car braked suddenly, and made the passengers behind who were sleeping soundly wake up. Their heads hit because Abhimanyu stopped the car abruptly.
"Bi, how the hell's driving!" nagging Gio while yawning with random hair scramble.
"Where are we?" asked Nayla with a typical hoarse voice of waking up. He also looked around in dark conditions and only overgrown with dense trees. "What time is it?" ellea asked while looking at the phone she had placed under her pillow. "Gosh, 3 o'clock in the morning?!"
"Hey, you're just muting, huh?" asked Arya who had been sleeping from the beginning with a position sitting near the window. "The feeling of this tree we passed earlier," he pointed it to a pair of trees next to a strangely shaped car.
Abi only realized that since then they just turned around and returned to the road at the beginning they saw the 4 ghost figures. Everyone is awake now. Abi and Wira looked at each other.
"God! You two why the hell?" tanya Gio who was now sitting between Wira and Abhimanyu. The two men were silent with confused faces. Arya who saw it then swept a glance around.
"Who are they?" tanyanya pointed at the four figures out there with her chin.
Wira and Abi looked at each other with frowns. "You see, too, huh?" ask Wira.
"See what the hell?" Gio was even more confused by them. Arya glanced at the man beside her who was now sitting on the floor of the caravan that had been covered in thick carpet. "Oh, so they're demons?" ask Arya without burden.
"What's? The devil?" pekik Gio while looking for a figure who was the talk of three men at the side and in front of him.
"Damn? What kind of demon is that?" nayla asked with a slight shout because her position was a bit far from those in front.
"We have to go, Om?" ask Abi to Wira.
"Let me come down!" tukas Arya sure. Everyone was surprised by Arya's relaxed reaction and arrived at it.
"Eh, don't be crazy, yeah! It's ghost!" prevent Gio while holding back Arya who was already standing.
"Just because they're ghosts, they won't hurt us physically, but mentally. And, it must be fought!" Arya walked back and opened the caravan door.
He leisurely walked towards the four figures who had since interfered with their journey. The atmosphere around me felt cold. This cold and cold air is increasingly felt to the bone, so Arya requires to close the jacket she wears. He looked around and finally stood beside one of the figures.
Arya cleared her throat, watching the figure in front of her who was silent with a wooden twig on her back.
"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. May, may I ask, sir?" greet her calmly without looking scared in her.
"Where's the village of Angikuni, huh?" arya asked frankly without caring about that figure who did not say the greeting earlier.
Suddenly the four figures turned to him. His gaze was sharp and cold. Then the four screamed loudly and loudly. Even until Arya felt a strong wind blowing against her face. It smells foul and stings sharp. Arya only took a step back without turning her face away from the four figures.
"Where is the village?" back the question was thrown Arya without a hint of trepidation.
And suddenly they pointed to the road ahead. Arya followed the direction they were pointing at, then retreated and started to leave the place. He went back into the caravan and asked Abhimanyu to leave immediately.
The caravan had already walked away from the figure earlier. They hope that there will be no more meetings with those who make Arya and the others just turn around in that place.
Until finally they saw a large piece of land with a gate in the middle of the road. "Welcome to Angikuni Village."
They looked at each other with a happy hue. Everyone was relieved to finally find this place.
"Till too!"
