"What do you mean meet the hero?" Ask Gio, not thinking.
"Well, Hero. He's one of the island's guards."
"You sure it's a hero?" Now Adi is curious. Hope what the Eagle says is the truth. Elang sure, Adi also really wanted to meet Wira.
"Do I like to lie? You think I'm Gio?!"
"Hey .. Why me?"
"You're a fool, you idiot!" tukas Adi with a careless look at his arch-enemy and best friend.
As Gio was about to reply to Adi's words, Abhimanyu cleared his throat. "Wira? Father's best friend? Ex-girlfriend mom? Right, huh? Uncle Gio said, Uncle Wira is dead and a black demon?!"
The eagle and Adi glanced at the smiling Gio with a face like a fool.
"Right, right, you're an idiot! Things like that, you tell Abi?! " Adi flanks Gio's head and hits him. While the Eagle just pressed his head looking at the stupidity of his friend. He thought it was wrong to choose a guard for Abhimanyu.
"Why indeed? No, that's reality. He deserves to know his parents' past, doesn't he?" jeremy Gio tried to defend himself.
"You're! Oh, my God, can I kill him, Lang?" ask the annoyed and hopeful Adi.
"As far as you go!" Pasrah eagle.
"Uncle ... So you mean, you met Uncle Wira? Is he here?"
"Yes. He's here."
"Can I meet him?" Abhimanyu's question was able to bring Adi and Gio's fight to a halt.
"Hey, I'd like to meet Wira too. Lang! Take us there!" adi pinta.
Silent eagle. Look at them one by one. "alright. But we have to give up our tribe to meet him" said the eagle.
"You better take a break. Just go down there, "let John know.

The night is getting late. The clock is at 22:30. Ellea and Shanum had already entered into their room. Tonight the men will go to the stone temple of Saphire. At 23:00 they are ready. Wear a jacket before you leave. Because the sea breeze is able to make the bristling feathers bristling and make Adi sneeze.
The journey to the stone monument is not so far away. It's just that they do have to pass through the residential area. The village here is not very populated. Most parents and small children. If there is a young woman, it is just a matter of fingers. Most of the village youths would go to the city. Looking for luck there. Only old people survive on this island. They decided to become fishermen. Earn by hunting fish in the sea. And it starts at night like this.
Several times Abhimanyu's entourage passed by a group of young men who were about to go to sea. While carrying a roll of net, or fishing gear. They nodded when they saw John. Because John is one of the village leaders. Everyone respected him.
The population is over they passed. Now the terrain that exists is pine forests and catapang. The night is getting colder. Although not good if at night is too long under the tree. They emit carbon dioxide, automatically depleting oxygen.
Before long, their feet began to step on the neatly arranged small rocks. A large chunk of stone was now visible in front of them.
"This is the place" John told his guests.
"Waw, " muttered Abhimanyu with a look of admiration. Gio glanced at him in confusion. "Why did you react like that? It was just an ordinary stone monument," Gio asked because of Abhimanyu's reaction which was strange according to him.
"But what I saw was not so, uncle. The light is so bright, but not dazzling." His hand was trying to grab that bright blue light. "And it feels warm when it touches it." He turned his hand so that the light penetrated his skin, evenly.
"Glow?" Gio glanced at the Eagle who had just silently stared at the dead thing in front of them.
"You forgot whose kid he was?" The Eagle's question sounds sarcastic. But Gio does sometimes like to throw stupid sentences that actually he himself already knows the answer.
"What did he see, Lang?"
The eagle glanced at him. "You ask yourself!" He walked closer to the boulder following John who had walked first.
While Abhimanyu was still stunned and enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him, Gio continued to stare at Abi and the stone before him, taking turns. "Bi, what are you looking at?" he was still curious about something he could not see, and only Abi could see it.
A punch landed onto Gio's head. Adi went through it so easily without any guilt. While Gio only looked at him stupefiedly, and still scouted Abhimanyu with all the questions that stuck in his mind. Abhimanyu kept silent not responding as Gio expected.
"Bi, don't shut up! Answer my question!"
The eagle stood on John's fingers. Look at that big rock. At first glance, it doesn't look special. But when viewed carefully, the shape of the inanimate object is similar to the shape of a human body with several other bodies around it.
The face of a man with curves that look like someone they know."I just realized, this statue is Wira," said the stunned Eagle.
John just smiled. "You, know? What was the reason Wira joined the black demon first?"
The question suddenly made the Eagle turn to John who was still focused on what was in front of them.
"Initially when the Hero died in the hands of a black demon, it was just camouflage. He's not really dead. He deliberately did that to attract the sympathy of his great enemy. Deliberately rendered himself helpless and died at their hands. So that he could enter and join them in search of the weak point of the group."
"But isn't that dangerous?"
"Yes you're right. That's dangerous indeed. If the black demon had no interest in taking Wira into his followers, then the Wira would really die."
"Then?"
"Wira eventually managed to become their follower. But ... He sacrificed again for us. The hero has to betray you. That's why, this stone is the shape of the curves of his face, as a sign of our respect."
Eagle's legs limp. Didn't expect that the story of Wira was this trivial. The actions of the Hero, apparently to protect many people. And now they are reunited in a unique way. "Jeez, Hero."
"But why is he still here?" ask Adi who apparently eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Because the task is not finished. Black demons are not our main enemy. They're just Kalla's accomplices. Fooling you into focusing only on the black demon group. When you fought the black demons, we're here to survive Kalla's attack."
"Don't you say they can't get on this island? Even last night we saw with our own eyes. Kalla immediately burned, while setting foot on this beach," said Gio.
Everyone has a lot of questions in their head. And every answer is to a Jhon. He is the oldest member of the Argenis. He is also a living witness of how the sacrifice of the former. Wira asks Jhon to keep all these things a secret. But now is the right time. Moreover, the Eagle has seen and met himself with the Hero.
"Indeed, it was not Kalla who threatened us, but his followers. As long as you know, the village across the majority of the population is a follower of Kalla. They threaten, kill, and turn their citizens into these monstrous creatures. Most of the inhabitants, will accept resignedly what they did, but if they rebel, death will follow them."
"What is the purpose of them taking control of the village, father?" it was Vin's turn to ask. He is indeed the son-in-law of Jhon, but Vin is not a native of the island of Saphire or the village of Yakut. Vin comes from a faraway place. He knew John's daughter for helping with the tsunami several years ago. Vin falls in love with Gwen, and they get married.
"Wait on! Isn't the influence of the stone not good for them?"
"It's true, that's why they want this stone. They want to destroy it. So that their race would easily rule over the human race. With the destruction of the Saphire stone, their strength will be stronger. "
The statement made them swallow. There was a gurat of anxiety on their faces.
"Then ... Where's Wira?" ask Adi, can't wait.
Abhimanyu saw a movement from behind the stone. Someone appeared with a ray of maturity. He looks handsome with a handsome face. Behind him appeared several other people, in the same clothes as each other. It is very obvious that there is a difference between the two. The first man he saw must have had a higher position weighing the people who were now moving around the stone monument.
Wira and Abhimanyu stared at each other. The hero threw a faint smile on his face. Because now only Abhimanyu can see it. The hero approached Abi.
"Abhimanyu Maheswara?" ask the hero in a loud voice.
"Be ... Is correct. An ... You ... Uncle Wira?"
The hero smiled, nodded then patted the shoulder of Abhimanyu who kept seeing him in astonishment. The hero closed his eyes. Instantly the silhouette of past events was recorded clearly in his mind. All the things that Abhimanyu experienced since he was born until a few seconds ago are clearly visible in the mind of the Hero.
'You stay the same, Nayla. Thank goodness Arya has taken good care of you, ' Inner Hero. Both of his eyes were glazed. But the smile continued to be etched on his lips.
"Uncle? You okay?" ask Abhimanyu.
The eagle that saw the young man talking to himself, immediately closed its eyes. He re-enacted the tribe in order to see what happened at once to meet the Wira, again. Adi who saw the Eagle was silent, followed him. Unfortunately Gio and Vin could not do that. Gio shouted in frustration. While John, he did not need to celebrate. Because automatically he is able to see all invisible things with his inner eyes, just like Abhimanyu. John was the last descendant of Chris' predecessor Argenis.
Abhimanyu was silent, his gaze was far away staring somewhere. He closed his eyes with a feeling of sadness. "You should go home soon!"
"Why, Uncle?" ask Abhimanyu confused.
The eagle returned to his body and immediately pulled the Abhimanyu. "We have to go home! There's an intruder coming to Mr. John's house!" said it. He walked fast, followed by the others.
In their minds, wondering who the intruder that Eagle was referring to was. "Actually who's coming home, Lang?"
"I don't know. It's just that his silhouette is clearly visible there's someone else infiltrating the house."
"Is Kalla?"
"No! Must be Kalla's minions, " said John while running with them.
"you mean? A human? "
"Yes." Yeah."
Their tree line passed. The white mist started to descend and slightly complicated their view.
"Be careful! We have to stay together! Don't split. They deliberately lowered this fog!"
"really so. Just this time I, saw this thick fog on the island. Weird, dad!"
They stopped running. The nearly exhausted breath made their spirits decline, now they were completely lost. This fog is completely misleading. They are made as if they were spinning. Back to where they ran. Keep it that way, until their energy is almost exhausted.
"How is this?"
"Suck!"

"Ell, I want to make a glass of milk. You want?" ask Shanum. They were already in the room, about to sleep because the day was late. The game of the snake ladder they played was already boring. Moreover, many times Ellea had already evaporated.
"No need, Num. I'm still full. My eyes really feel heavy. I slept first, yeah."
"Yes already. Good night, Ell."
"Be careful, yeah."
"Surely."
Shanum out of the room. Their rooms are on the second floor, next to the other rooms. The second floor corridor was still bright because the lights had not been extinguished. Shanum down the stairs, slowly. His steps made the wooden stairs creak. Arriving at the middle of the stairs, Shanum trembled slightly. Because the situation downstairs is dark. Some lights are turned off. Except the porch lights. Shanum hesitated a bit, but due to his habit of drinking milk before going to bed, forced him to keep walking to the kitchen.
As the night breeze blew, Shanum hugged his own body. The living room window is still open. Shanum had to close it first. His feelings were suddenly uncomfortable. He realized that before the men left, they had made sure the windows and all the doors were closed and locked.
"So who opened this window?" muttered Shanum, his net wildly staring around. A shadow was seen at the end of his tail. Feeling unsafe, Shanum took a run. With lightning fast, Shanum ran towards the stairs. The black shadow also continued to follow him. He yelled.
"Yeah! Tolooong!" shanum shouted as he continued running on the stairs. Shanum's legs were pulled, until he fell down. His body was stricken by a wooden ladder. He groans in pain.
"Back!" scream Ellea again.
His legs were pulled back down. Keep trying to get to whatever is around him. While on the other hand, Ellea who had fallen asleep did not hear Shanum's scream. But someone was already in their room. He approached the sleeping Ellea. He wears a mask, with gloves. Slowly his hands extended to Ellea's face. Ellea's mouth is smothered. The girl immediately regained her senses and glared. Trying to escape from the arms of the man who is now hugging and pulling himself out of the thick blanket. Ellea screamed even though her mouth was smothered.
He was pulled out of the room. To the outside, apparently there are many people in black clothes. Ellea rebel. Stepping on the feet of the person holding it. As the man's grip loosened, he ran. But his efforts were in vain. Because someone else had already pulled her hair. Not even let go of her. Ellea's hair pulled, she thrashed. But his body was slammed to the floor. The sound of thumping sounds is clear. Ellea's body was pulled by her hair. Passing the stairs in a way like inu sangggu makes all the joints of his body feel crumpled. Water came out of both of his eyes. He begged to be released. Even if you know it won't work.
The two girls were met on the underground floor with their condition tied. Their mouths were firmly clothed with thick cloth. Ellea's temples were bleeding and had bruises on some parts of her face. While Shamun only experienced inflamed cheeks due to slap several times. Behind the lump of cloth, Shanum's lips were bleeding.
There were about 10 people in this basement. They all wore masks on their heads and only displayed two of their eyes. In their hands were some sharp weapons.

"How's this, Uncle?" abhimanyu asked his three uncles.
They are still lost in the woods. A white, mist-like shadow was seen approaching towards them.
"Uncle, what is it?" tanya Abhimanyu pointed to the figurehead.
They stared in the direction Abhimanyu pointed.
"Wira!" the Eagle and John together.
The white shadow flew over them as if giving a hint. They hurried to follow. Anxious, if something happens to Ellea and Shanum at home.
