Abhimanyu sat down on the chair beside Ellea's bed. The girl's face was pale, not as fresh as usual. Body weak. Since last night he has not opened his eyes. Abi misses Ellea's red-cheeked hue as they get close together. Miss the girl's crashing sound that makes her upset. Missed his potent attitude and all that stuff about Ellea. She was the first girl he met after his mother. The first girl to fall in love. There were a lot of girls in his village, but none of them caught his attention.
Abi held Ellea's hand. The weak hand was helpless, making him pity. He put the back of Ellea's hand on her cheek. Swipe Ellea's cheeks gently. Abi was worried, very much.
On the other hand, Shanum had already woken up. He sat in his bed with the Eagle. The eagle painstakingly fed Shanum. Give him enough nutrients so that Shanum's body is more powerful after experiencing difficult things last night.
This morning, John's house was a little crowded. Some people are in the yard. He sent them to check every corner of the island. And promote nighttime patrol. John was sure the intruder would come back. Moreover, the emergence of Kallandra became a scourge that was quite feared.
"Lang, where are you going?" gio asked when he saw the Eagle was neat.
"I have to get back to the office. Piling work. Looks like Lian I need to rehire. Let Shanum be here first. More secure. A little." His face looks lethargic. He didn't sleep all night, looking after Shanum.
Saphire Island is no longer safe. Since Kallandra appeared it made a stone saphire monument as if it no longer managed to protect them.
"Be careful, Lang. You're gonna come back here, right?" ask Gio.
"of course. Today there's an important meeting I have to attend."
"I'm coming, Lang," cetus Adi. It was quite close to the eagle. Since long. The eagle is the second person of Arya. Adi is also actually close to Wira, but not as close as with Arya. After Arya married Nayla, she became an accomplice to the Eagle. And they've been together until now.
"It's not, Di. You're just here. Help them."
"There are too many people here. Kalla's out there a lot more. Anyway I'm sure they won't show up during the day."
"So is Kalla, isn't it?"
"I'm still coming. At least I helped you drive. You didn't sleep all night, you idiot!" Adi grabbed his jacket and walked out. The eagle only pulled one corner of his lips upwards looking at Adi's sometimes overprotective attitude.

Abhimanyu was sitting on a rock, under a tree. Stare straight at the deserted beach. He still imagined the events after the events he experienced. Especially the tattoo on his hand which is now more clearly the pattern. Even the color does not fade. Many times Abi washed his hands and even doused gasoline so that the stain was gone. But the result is nil.
"Is it possible that this tattoo is one way to eradicate Kallandra?" The shadow when Kallandra died is still, printed clearly in his memory. His palm kept pressing on Kallandra's body and burned the creature to ashes. It's easier than killing Kalla himself.
"Wait on! If Kallandra was able to be wiped out just because of this tattoo, it would definitely be useful for Kalla too!"
In a struggle of his own mind and heart, Abi is unaware of Vin's presence beside him. Until Vin cleared his throat. Abi just turned his head even though he almost hit Vin.
"God! You just surprised me, Vin!" nagel Abhimanyu. He sat back and stared at the waves ahead. For him this is his way to recharger his body. See beach. Enjoying the beauty of sea water with beautiful white sand, smelling the smell of sea water, it is his way to improve his mood. Makes it calmer.
"You're alone here anyway."
"Well, I love the beach here. Just like in my hometown." Abi turned to Vin with a sad look. Vin smiled. "You're lucky, Bi. Having a hometown you really miss. While I ... There's no." Vin. Imagine her own fate. To him all the beaches are his hometown. Every place is home, as long as it is comfortable in it.
"I don't even feel like I have a home and a home anymore, Vin. Everything's been ruined since the deaths of my parents. I miss dad. He is always there for me. He always helps me when I'm in trouble. When I was confused as I am now. I really need him. Sometimes I want to give up. I'm tired, Vin."
"I spent several years serving this country. Go find people who need my help. Without caring about my own safety. Until finally, I met Gwen. He was able to take my eyes off me at that moment. Makes my life as valuable. To keep taking care of him. Even though he's gone forever, I'm still fighting. So that no more couples separated because of the actions of the vile creatures. You still have Ellea to protect, Bi. Don't let you just give up. Especially now that you have that tattoo. Adalbaro's tattoo."
"Adalbaro's? What'sthat?" abi asked while looking at his palm.
"The tattoo was designed by an ancient warrior. They used the symbol to imprison the devil. The symbol was saved. So no matter how good Kallandra is, she can't fight you. The origin of the symbol continues to be in your hands."
"Right, Vin? Well, then, I can kill Kalla with this tattoo, right?"
"of course. You're even the only human the Kallas are avoiding right now. I'm sure they knew about the symbol. And for a while, their movements would be limited. In fact I'm sure that they won't attack for now."
"Ah, Vin. I wonder, what are they after from the Saphire?"
"You're stupid, huh? Of course destroy it."
"Yes, I know I destroyed the saphire stone, but Vin, you know, didn't you, that the monument was so big? They're gonna blow it up? That so?"
"Well, right. Dad said it wasn't the Saphire stone that was their main target. But something's in it."
"You mean?"
"The blood of Lapetus, the god of immortality, is in the stone of the sapphire. Kalla's after him for immortality. So they had to smash the sapphire stone first."
"Then why did the sapphire stone make them unable to get close?"
"When Kalla came to our earth, Zarion, was the first to fight against him. He was a war leader at the time. For years he and his army searched for the whereabouts of Kalla. But one day, he was cornered. He almost lost the war. And then hide in a cave. The cave is dark. And it has a speck of bright light in the distance. Zarion followed him to the end of the cave. Stranger place even the forest there is not the same as where it came from. He just found out that it's Kalla's place of origin. Zarion continued to explore the tenpat. Until he meets an old man. Bringing Zarion to another me. There he saw two crystals. One is black and one is light blue. With a note there. Eternity and protection. The old man gave the two crystals to Zarion. And said to protect the black crystal. Don't fall into Kalla's hands."
"Blue and blue crystals? Saphire, you mean blue crystal?"
"Yes, Bi. And on this island is the only place that most there are bright blue sapphire stones. Zarion inserted the black crystal into the stone monument. Trying to keep her till the end of life."
"How do you know?"
"Dad told it. And this legend is already hereditary on the island of Saphire."
"So this tattoo?" point Abhimanyu still do not understand Vin's explanation at length.
"Zarion served on this island, guarding it with that symbol. He made a symbol like this with a saphire under the sand there, "pointing Vin to the white sand bed in front of them.
"Really, right?" Abhimanyu still can't believe it.
"You think what's the reason Kalla can't get in? Saphire is only an intermediary. The proof is they don't get hot when they see the necklace you're wearing, right?" Vin. Because it feels like it's noon.
"So right, if under the beach there is a sapphire stone with this symbol?" ask Abi to follow Vin home.
"You can dig it out yourself if you don't believe it!"
The passage of time is the link between these two worlds. Zarion who has proven all that and recorded it in a book. The book is in John's house.

"The vin! Where is the book?!" ask Abhimanyu who continues to pursue more explanation on Vin. Information source. John was somewhat closed on this, making Abi hesitate to ask directly.
"You ask my father, Bi. I don't know!" vin jengah said.
They went inside the house. Gio who was watching TV looked indifferent. He was lonely because his opponent was not here. John is still going around.
"Biyu," call Ellea from the end of the stairs.
Abhimanyu and Vin looked up. The girl was still in her sleeping pajamas with messy hair. "Look! Your lover is awake. You better see it. I'm going to sleep!"
Abi looked at Ellea. Then approached. "You awake? How are you doing? Want to eat or what? Let me get it," Abi said, pinning Ellea's messy haircut behind her ear.
Ellea's voice made both Abi's hands, hugging her back. Gives a comfortable sensation to the girl. "There's me, isn't it? Wait, can I make you lunch? You haven't eaten since last night, Ell."
"No need to bother. I've been cooking. You guys just eat. I set it up at the dinner table, "Shanum walked behind Abi and passed the two just like that.

Adi drove, while the Eagle turned the seat he was sitting on to the back. Make it more comfortable, to at least close your eyes for a moment.
"Lang?"
"Hm?" The man covered his face with Shanum's blindfold left in the car dashboar. The sunlight made it difficult to close the eyes from earlier. His head is getting heavy. He really needs rest.
"You see, don't you, the symbol in Abi's hand?"
"Why?" the Eagle asked without opening his blindfold. He still cannot sleep either. At least his eyes will feel safe without sunburn for the next few hours.
"I've seen it like."
"Really, right? You must be dreaming."
"No, Lang. I'm sure."
Suddenly the blindfold opened the Eagle quickly. The shadow of someone while bare-chested flashed in the mind of the Eagle. Because he has the same symbol."Jesus, Di! You right! I just remembered. No, does the symbol look like an Aryan tattoo? The one on his back?"
Adi glared and his memory seemed to return. "You're right!"
"Thus ... How could Arya have that symbol on her body, Di?"
"Where do I know?!" cynical Adi is still focused on his drive.
"Aren't you guys close? You didn't ask me the origin and meaning of your best friend's tattoo? That's so stupid, man! " screaming Eagle.
"It turns out your mouth looks like Gio when I look, Lang."
The eagle laughed when he heard it.
"But, that tattoo has been on Arya's back for a long time. Even from the beginning I met him."
"Why does everyone seem to be connected," muttered the Eagle, seemingly thinking out loud.
"Even the shape and color are the same! Right, right, Lang?" ask Adi who keeps convincing it.
"Yes right. The difference, belonging to Abhimanyu is smaller
While Arya is as big as her back."
"If the symbol was on Aryan's back, why was it so easy for Kalla to kill?"
The eagle thinks back. Imagine how Arya died back then. "Maybe they don't form a symbol on Aryan's back. While you saw last night, right? How did Kallandra get crushed by Abi's hand?"
"You're right, Lang. Maybe Arya doesn't know that the symbol is capable of killing Kalla?"
"Hm, you're right. I'm sure Arya doesn't know. If he knew, he'd have told us, wouldn't he?"
"If Arya knew then, maybe she's still alive now" Adi said. The pain in his chest was back. Arya's death really hurt her.
"Already, Di. It's already destiny. You can't be like that. "
Car speeds are accelerating. They've reached the city.

"Morning, sir, "greet Lian when she sees her boss coming with Adi.
"Morning!" The eagle only glanced at a glance at Lian who was standing behind the secretary's desk. Too risky for Shanum to be in the city, Eagle feels Shanum is safer on the island. Although not entirely true. Suddenly the Eagle's steps stopped. Before entering the door of his room, the Eagle turned to look at the strange-looking Lian.
"You sick?" ask Eagle. Lian's face looked pale with a black girth in her eyes.
"Tb ... No, sir."
Adi also sees Lian strangely. There was something the girl was hiding. The unbelieving eagle just like that, the floor approached Lian.
"Say, what's wrong? What's the matter, Lian?"
Lian looked at her boss and Adi took turns. Adi took a deep breath. He stared at the office corridor with a frown.
"Lang, something's weird. Your office ... Didn't you sniff it?"
The new eagle noticed the very thick smell of Kalla in his office. He immediately looked at Lian who looked nervous.
"You who?!" asked the Eagle loudly to Lian.
"I'm Lian, sir. Did Mr Eagle forget?"
"Then why do you look weird? Not like the Lian I've known all along!"
The eagle pulled Lian's collar and pulled her. He almost strangled the girl. Before finally Lian signaled the Eagle to be silent. Lian pointed to the pantry.
"City ... Toni, sir," Lian whispered near the Eagle's ear. Adi also approached. Seeing the attitude of the girl was strange, making the two of them suspicious. Lian is not Kalla.
"Toni who?"
"OB office. Yesterday on my downstairs toilet ... Seeing him turn into a monstrous creature. He killed Tika. Toni's like sucking Tika's body out, sir."
The eagle and Adi looked at each other. "And now, Toni is in ... In the pantry," point Lian towards her right.
"You sure?"
Lian nodded quickly. "It's not just Toni, it's all of them. Everyone in this office. They're changing." Lian's cry was restrained. He was really scared.
While Eagle and Adi prepare. "You go into my room, key from the inside, "tell the Eagle.
"Have your office smelled bad, Lang. Apparently there are only 1 human being here!" adi Syndir. He took his weapon. The eagle took off the tie around his neck.
