THE LONG JOURNEY TO YOU
THIRD MEETING
“You are weird!”
Deon finds himself sitting on the same hill again and realizes the sight before him right now is his dreams along with a woman named Madaharsa.
“Why am I weird?? I just want to be your friend, why do you think I'm weird???” Deon's mouth filed the exact same complaint as the one in his mind at the moment.
“Do you not see, the villagers avoid me?”
“Ahh, did they avoid you? I thought it was their attitude that they did not like strangers. I also feel they are avoiding me.”
“You are weird.”
“One more time you say I'm weird, I'll keep coming here and haunting you!” Deon looked at the woman named Madaharsa who was sitting five steps away from him. Deon wanted to ask why the villagers were avoiding the woman beside him. But his mouth won't move according to his brain's orders. “Why did they avoid you? Is something wrong with you?”
Lucky's! Deon was cheering in his mind because his mouth seemed to be hearing orders from his brain this time.
“They are afraid of the guard.”
“Guard? Who are you??”
“Ya, i.”
“What guard are you??”
“Something stored inside this village.”
“Keep why are they afraid of you??”
The woman named Madaharsa then raised her right hand towards Deon and suddenly, wushhhhhh!!
Deon flinched as a fairly strong wind blew on his face as if he had just slapped him. “What did you just do?? You got invisible hands??”
“Not. The villagers were afraid of me, because I was able to control the wind. In the past, guards and residents lived side by side. But one day there was a problem.”
“What problems?”
“Women to be married by guards, kidnapped by one of the villagers.”
“Then what happened??” Deon was annoyed that his mouth asked without orders from him.
“The guard went berserk and destroyed half the village. You see the eastern part of the village!”
Deon's head moved looking in the direction pointed by Madaharsa. “Yes, I see. That dry, barren part, is that the guard you told me about?”
“Ya and since that incident, the villagers avoided the guard and his family for not wanting the same thing to happen.”
“Then what about the guard who wants to continue the descent?” Once again, Deon's mouth spoke without a command from his brain. I don't want to ask that!!
“We will choose them. Whoever is chosen must want to be a family of guards.”
“What if that person doesn't want to?”
“Then this village will be destroyed. Only his guards and descendants could guard that thing!”
*
The next day, Deon is required to return to his town and his hopes of meeting the woman called by the name of Algiz become small. But it turns out that the mind is wrong. Deon may have to wait for about two weeks, but the wait seems to be enough because thanks to that Deon can see the woman again.
Drrrtt!!
Several times the vibrations occur and Deon knows what caused the vibrations to occur. Quakes.
“Exit all!!”
These two weeks, Deon was busy with his work within the city. Deon was busy choosing the incoming movie script while busy shooting for magazine ads.
“Deon!!” Niel quickly approached Deon and immediately pulled Deon running along with everyone who was trying to save themselves.
Ting!!
Ting!!
Notifications from everyone's phone go off at the same time and make everyone think the same thing: something bad might happen.
“Where is the emergency exit??” Niel shouted asking.
Drrrtt!! Kreeeeit!!
“I-it!!” Niel panicked to hear the sound of the effects of the earthquake followed by the sound of cracks.
Luckily, Niel and Deon were in a three-story studio where Deon had been shooting on the second floor. So it didn't take long for Deon and Niel along with the rest of the crew to get out of the building.
Drrrttt! Kreeett!!
Bruuk!!
The crack was apparently not coming from the building where Deon and Niel were. Instead it came from the building that was right next to the Niel and Deon building.
Due to repeated earthquakes, the five-story building immediately sank and flattened as if it had never existed.
Wusshhhh!!
A strong wind suddenly blew, making Deon recall his dream. This wind ... Deon immediately looked around him looking for the figure he expected to meet during these two weeks. And sure enough, the figure floated in the air at the height of the five-story building right above Deon's head.
“Algiz,” murmur Deon.
Deon stared at Algiz and hoped that Algiz would be able to recognize him. But considering that Algiz had met him twice and had no reaction at all to recognize him, Deon realized his simple desire was impossible.
“Algiz!!”
Another voice called out to the woman Deon had wanted to see for two weeks. Deon looked the other way and found that there were some men running towards Deon. One of the men, Deon recognized him: Isaz.
“I've locked the survivors, Isaz!” shout Algiz.
“Defend! There will probably be aftershocks!”
“Ansuz, Mannaz!! Do it quickly!!” Isaz spoke to some of the colleagues behind him.
Two tall men quickly advanced and then did the same thing that Algiz had done: raise one hand. But what they did seemed different to what Algiz did. Because the wreckage of the destroyed building suddenly lifted as if not bound by the law of gravity.
“There are ten people. Five people only suffered minor injuries, five others were seriously injured.”
“That was seriously injured first. Where is the position, Mannaz?”
Deon who saw the conversation of the two men could easily guess which man by the name of Mannaz and which one was named Ansuz. The taller and thinner man is Mannaz while the taller man is just three centis Ansuz.
“On your right, Ansuz!”
Kaakkk, kaaakkk!
Deon heard the birds. Deon turned his head up and realized that there were some birds flying near Algiz that were still floating in the air.
“Isaz!!”
Deon heard the cry of Algiz on Isaz's communication channel not far from him.
“I know!” After answering Algiz, Isaz shouted at his comrades. “Bet ready!! Aftershocks are coming!!”
Drrrtt!! Kreeett!!! Kreeett!
This time the sound of the crack was heard closer. Deon looked down at his feet and found the crack he heard coming from just below his feet. Wawat!!! Will land!!
Deon grabs Niel's hand and tries to pull Niel along with the rest of the crew to get away from the crack. But before Deon managed to do that, the ground under his feet was already landslide.
“Akhhh!!”
Deon closed his eyes preparing to accept his death along with the hysterical cries of those nearby. But when his body doesn't feel anything, Deon emboldens himself to open his eyes and finds himself with several people nearby now drifting just like Algiz.
Why this??
