"The Will... I believe... It's You? Cause you said it back then, right?"
Hades replied, with a slightly confused expression.
"... No, What I an is The- Wait... Never mind, if you don't know then it's okay... Your answer just now made understand, it's not far from what I expected, so it's fine"
"... Okay...?"
Hades said once again with a confused expression on his face, still not understanding the current situation.
However, Taufik seed to have no intention of clearing up the confusion for Hades, as seen from him imdiately standing up from his seat while saying.
"Alright, that is it... I'll go to see you in a few days... Wait, How will I contact you later? Or should I go directly to the Underworld? The most important thing is how can I go to the Underworld? Should I die first?"
"No, you don't have to; I'll be here for the anti; after all, Soone has to take care of Olympus when Zeus can't, so I need to stay in Olympus at least until Zeus has recovered a good amount of his Divine Energy... So co back here and I'll take you to the underworld with "
"That sounds like a plan, alright, that's the deal; I'll see you again in a few days then... Nāgāntaka, let's go back to Kl'lara first and then go back ho"
"Yes, Master"
After that, Taufik then opened the Portal to return to the previous battlefield.
Upon arriving there, Taufik found that Kl'lara had finished reviving all of her fallen Skeleton Troops. and Athena was also almost finished collecting the 'Bodies' or let's call them bodies without 'Souls' from the Olympus troops.
After that, Taufik opened the portal back to his grandmother's palace, the Queen. Still, he didn't realize that what was waiting for him there was just another problem.
--------
Upon arrival at the Palace, use the portal.
When he left earlier, it was already morning, but when he returned, it was already evening, and soon the sun would set again.
Two days without sleep or food was actually not a problem for Taufik, but for so reason, this ti, he felt quite tired.
"Kl'lara, can you first change your appearance? It's scaring the workers here"
"Ohh~ I didn't realize that; I've been used to this appearance since I've been like this since that war... I'm sorry, Master, I'll change my appearance right away"
Said Kl'lara; then purple flas covered her entire body, and from within the flas, a dim light was visible, and a few monts later, the flas disappeared, and Kl'lara appeared in her human form.
"Good, stay like that, at least if you were with , keep that appearance... Because even for , that appearance of yours is quite scary, not offensive, but if older people see you, they might think that the angel of death has co to get them"
Hearing this, Kl'lara looked a little sad and then said to Taufik.
"... Yes, My Lord, I understand"
"Don't be sad, although I said your appearance is scary, I think it's also cool, but not everyone is thinking like , so just in case, keep stay like that"
Hearing this, Kl'lara looked a little happy, while following Taufik.
"... So, you guys go through that long years, right?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
Lembuswana asked Taufik after Taufik started the topic of conversation as they walked toward where Jenn and the others were.
"Have you guys been back ho lately?"
"Not like we don't want to but we just can't"
"You can't? Why?"
"We don't rember where we belong to... After you left that day, our mories of you beca cloudy as the days passed... It's not to the point where we forget about you, we still know that you are the Saranjana First King... Our Master, but sothing like where's you co from and who's you're family mber is we can't..."
Lembuswana said, and Taufik could only listen silently as Lembuswana continued his story.
"... The earliest days are okay because Gaia always ntions you and reminds us about your existence, but since the ti where's Gaia is gone, things beco more complicated because we can't even rember what you look like, we know you are our Master, but we just can't rember you completely, you know? It's like sothing blocking most of our mories about you"
"... Sothing like that happened? It is the sa for Aksa?"
"Yeah, just like us, maybe Gaia is the only one who can rember you, I think"
"What about my portrait? In that hallway? The one that Gaia made when I was still unconscious"
"the portrait is still there, only your face is blurry"
"What the heck! Is he telling the truth, Nāgāntaka?"
Taufik asked Nāgāntaka, trying to make sure what Lembuswana said was the truth because Nāgāntaka would not possibly lie to him.
"... I ashad to admit this, but what's Lembu said is the truth, I feel so ashad because I can't even rember my own Master's face, but yesterday, all our mories of you ca back, I'm so grateful for that"
"Yes, My lord, now I rember it, except for his hair, Lord Aksa is exactly looking like you, look like you when our first eting"
"Really? Now, I can't wait to see how that kid is now, I hope he gets my ssage and cos here soon"
After that, Taufik continued walking while talking to Kl'lara and Nāgāntaka about how Saranjana was while he was not there.
And when they were close to the room where Jenn and the others were, Lembuswana suddenly said.
"It's just my feeling, or the the maid here look at you in a different way?"
"What do you a-"
*BRAK!*
Taufik, who wanted to answer Lembuswana's question, was suddenly stopped by the sound of sothing breaking like soone had hit sothing.
"Huh?"
Taufik turned to the source of the sound, but what he found was Marzuki lying on the floor with a frightened expression and pieces of a broken door around him. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing this, Taufik then showed a worried expression, worried that there might be an enemy currently attacking because he had never seen his father show such an expression even when they had traveled together for almost two years.
Taufik then hurriedly approached Marzuki and said.
"Old Man! Are you okay? What happ-"
*Grab!*
"Run, my son! You better run from here, quick!!"
Marzuki said in a very frightened voice while tightly holding his son's hand.
"W-What? What do you an? What about Mom and the others?"
Taufik asked, even more worried because of what his father said.
"No, your Mom is the Danger! You better run now, your life is in danger right now! Hurry!!"
"W-What?"
"Don't ask too many questions! Hurry and leave now, Just go!!"
"W-What? What do you an?"
"Stop there! Don't think you will leave this place until you explain everything to us"
Said a voice from inside the room, turning towards the voice, Taufik saw Linda, his mother, standing inside the entrance with the broken door, standing there with an angry expression.
Seeing his mother's expression, Taufik felt a sense of deja vu.
"Oh~ It's already too late... Fight, my son, you must know that I will always be on your side"
Marzuki said once again, like a soldier who was about to die on the battlefield.
"hoh~ So you want to be like your son, or perhaps you already are?"
"No, there's only you in my heart, always and will never change, you need to believe about that"
"*Hmpnh* I'll ask you thoroughly later"
"Wait, Mom, stop; please explain to first what exactly happened here?"
*Grab*
Marzuki then held his son's hand again and approached to whisper to Taufik.
"... You better prepare a good excuse... Aksa is here"
"!!!"
Hearing this, Taufik showed a shocked expression. Then he looked at Marzuki while also saying in a whisper.
"... Like right now and here? In this place?"
*Nod*
"Is everyone inside there?"
"Yes, everyone"
"... Oh, shit"
Said Taufik, then looked back at his mother, seeing his mother's expression, finally Taufik rembered, that expression, that was the expression his mother showed when she found out about Rani, Kaela, and Anugerah at that ti, which caused him to have to sleep outside for several days and ended up hunting the vampire from the Brimour Faction who was in Tarakan City at that ti, from there the feeling of deja vu that he felt when he saw his mother's expression.
'That kid, I said I'll wait for him because I need to explain this situation to Jenn and the others first, but... Shit!'
Not knowing what to do, Taufik imdiately stood up, looking at his mother while thinking about the right way to explain all this.
"*Ukhum* Mo-"
"Don't say anything, co in now!!"
Linda interrupted, stopping whatever Taufik was trying to say.
"... Yes, Ma'am"
Said Taufik, who then imdiately entered the room.
When he entered, the first thing he saw was Aksara who for so reason was currently kneeling on the floor.
Their eyes t, Aksara looked happy but Taufik wanted to shed tears.
'... F*ck! There's no such thing as a touching reunion here, what's wrong with this world!!'
