The Time Stone Crystal

Chapter 18 - Israel 332 BCE -Hyperion's Come back

“Open your eyes,” he said again.

She slowly opens her eyes, feels shocked, at the same time, astounded. She wouldn’t expect that Kairo would do his magic to create a magical carpet. But something across on her mind was wondering why he had been making such kind of this magical thing. 

“Shall we?”

“Huh? We will ride on it?”

“Yeah. Please get on the magical carpet before some people are heading off here.”

“It looks like we are Jasmine and Alladin riding on the magical carpet.” She steps on the carpet.

“Hmm… Maybe.”

“Where’s our genie?”

“I’m your genie, young lady.”

She laughed. She could not understand the joy she felt in her heart and thought that they were the stars of that movie. If she hadn’t just gotten older, she wouldn’t have experienced that. They sat on the magic carpet as it slowly flew upwards, then she gasped Kairo's hand. They sniff each other hands tightly as their magic carpet flies high. It seemed like a dream as she watched the whole village from above. It was a breathtaking view for her, just like the entire new world as a new fantastic perspective.

They passed the whole village until they reached the deserted part of the land. It was a fantastic night accompanied by bright moons and clear skies. Only then did she experience such a thing in her whole life that if it were not for the young man's power, she would have remained in the magic that is beyond the reach of the people.

"Enjoying the view?"

She nodded and smiled at the young man.

"This is my first time to roam around with a mortal like you."

“Huh? Really? ”

“Yeah. I often leave alone and travel at any time. ”

"Kairo… what do you do every time you travel besides being a trader?"

“You have to start your question again, young lady. Do you want me to kiss you? ”

“It’s not like that. I want to know you better, that’s why I’m always asking about you. ”

Kairo smirked. “Interacting with people and occasionally I look for their destiny. There are things in the world that should not be known in the future. Sometimes, I do erase their memories and or trying to put them on the right path.”

"Have you traveled in the future?"

"Yes."

"So, have you seen your future?"

"Not my future. I’m the one who’s doing my fate."

She stared into his golden eyes. She would have liked to know from him if the young man who was with him in the future also saw her.

"I saw you there."

"Huh?" She was shocked about what he said. ”

"But in another time."

“Another time? I mean⸻am I alive again? I mean⸻will I die from this journey?”

He tightened his grip on her hand, then lifted and kissed it. "I beg your pardon if that is all I can share about you. Only the creator will still decide how far we can go in our destiny. I am happy to meet you as we go far on our journey.”

“Kairo…”

"Are you happy to be with me?"

She nodded. "Too much happy, Kairo."

He gently caressed her cheek then crossed their distance between them. Kairo gives her a passionate kiss that would be a sign that she needs to be at ease. It was a sweet kiss that would also tell her that no one could ever be the best in his heart. That she is the only one who takes him wonder by wonder over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride.

"I let my feelings flow because I can't take it anymore as long as you are beside me." He said when their lips parted.

“Kairo…” She whispers.

"Just keep holding on as we lead our way to our destiny."

"As long as the stone crystal gleaming, I will hold on."

Kairo smiled while caressing her right face. "Is it a promise?"

"An eternal promise of mine."

The young man Kairo stared at her intently and did not take his eyes off to her. It was a romantic evening for them as they traveled around the place, with the bizarre night, with her immortal lover man, and the magic carpet who witnessed their feelings even in an unofficial state. Those moments are just part of their contemplation when Kairo feels something different, making him severe and alert.

"Just stay beside me and hold my hands tight," he seriously said.

“Huh? W-what’s going on? ”

"Just prepare yourself."

Later, Weng caught a glimpse in the distance when she saw the dark sky with dark clouds. It gradually obscures the bright moon, and those around them begin to become restless. The wind is also slowly increasing, which causes the sands to burst with each blow.

"Kairo…" Fear flashed across her face.

  Weng heard a frightening voice all around. She had not yet seen who owned it, but she knew their situation was not good. Darkness also covered the entire area, along with the lightning in part of the dark clouds. A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.

"I finally found you, Kairo Middlestone!"

She was even more frightened when she heard the disgusting voice of the man floating in front of them as the magical carpet stopped in the air.

 In Kairo's eyes, he could also see anger and hatred as his fist clenched and his other hand gripped her tightly. “Hyperion…”

Her eyes widened when she heard the name of Kairo’s ultimate rival. For the first time, she saw that man too. He wears a dark suit with dark armor that covers his body and protects him from his enemy. He also has a tattoo on both arms and the red color of the eye. Something caught her attention; the man wears a wreath with a red stone in the middle. She saw his neck wearing also the half stone that Kairo owns. The stone crystal.

“I know you want to know where I am, so you came here. Here I am in front of you, my young friend. ”

“Beast…”

"You still have nothing else to call me but that name?" He looked at her. “Ah… You are the new owner of Kairo's half-stone crystal. A perfect mortal who knows nothing about what is happening to her surrounding. I was hoping you could give me that stone, and I let you live.”

“Stop your delusion, Hyperion! You know that the blasphemy you committed is against the law of our race. ”

He laughed out loud. “I am not like you, Kairo! I am not like fools like you. I told you I would rule the four Dimensional worlds, and I would also take down the two, Vanity and Brith. For now, I will put you first on my list.”

"No problem."

The young man Kairo developed from his right hand a blue sword. He could see the powerful force coming from that sword.

“Kairo…” she whispers.

He glanced at her. “No matter what happens, do not leave this magical carpet. Imagine that Hyperion can't get the stone crystal from you because you own it. She will not hurt you either. ”

She swallowed. “Yes. I understand. Kairo… Be careful. ”

The young man nodded to her then caressed her cheek. "I will protect you until the end. This is my destiny…you are my destiny."

“Kairo…”

He just smiled slightly at her, then it suddenly disappeared from her sight, and the young man turned to face Hyperion. She was distraught then she thought of her necklace. She holds it, and then she prayed fervently. Mysterious stone crystal, please guide Kairo in his fight against Hyperion. I beg you not to neglect him and end this problem. Give him your supernatural guidance to stop Hyperion from his insanity. I'm begging you!

In Kairo and Hyperion's case, it also developed a sword that corresponded to Kairo's weapon. The energy released by its weapon is black and red, while Kairo is also blue. This is the first time the two that Weng will witness will fight together.

"Let's start the game, and I will make sure that right here I will erase your memory as the guardian of Time and Space Dimensional World."

"You still have a lot to say."

"Here I am, Kairo!" Hyperion shouted angrily.

Kairo and Hyperion's movements as fast as lightning as the blades of their swords collided. Weng could not follow their instant moves. Their sword's force hit everyone around generates energies, so the magical carpet she was riding flew backward. It also seems that the magic carpet has life to avoid the two creatures' colliding forces.

"Taste this ferocity, Kairo!"

The wild dark energy that Hyperion throws it from the sword to Kairo. It was so strong that it shook, and the surroundings became restless. At the same time, Weng holds tight to the magic carpet that goes along with the swing of strong winds in the atmosphere. Be careful, Kairo!

From where Kairo was, he met the strength that Hyperion threw at him. Using his sword, he made a barrier for those around him. He also does not want Weng to be affected by Hyperion's stupidity.

When the energy from Hyperion hit, it exploded, causing heavy smoke to emerge. It also caused a strong tremor on the ground even though the young man Kairo had already blocked himself in the middle of the battle.

MEANWHILE, Hander, and the others almost fell in a sudden tremor. Their enjoyment stopped, and the people there acted alertly.

"What was that?" Kristoff asked.

"I also do not know. Where is Master Kairo? ” Hander also asked.

Kristoff looked around. "I haven't seen him earlier, just like with Miss Weng."

"I saw them leave with the woman on the magic carpet," Thiara said.

“What? Why did you not said that earlier? ” Hander was showing his frustration to the woman, Thiara.

“Why? Don’t you ask me? ”

He shook his head to Thiara, then it moved and quickly ran out.

"Find Jigger, Thiara."

“Huh? Where are you going?"

"We are going to Master Kairo!" He shouted.

“Huh? Where? ”

"Just follow Jigger!"

The earthquake shook again, causing a few rocks to fall on that big house. The people inside, as well as their foreign guests, are already in turmoil.

"Hurry out if you don't want to be covered by rocks!" the man shouted.

"Keep your children and spouses in a safe place!" another shouted.

“Master Ali! Master Ali! ” the messenger shouted.

"I'm here, Hamad!" Ali replied.

“Master! The strong earthquake came in the middle of the desert, only a few miles apart in our area.

"Did anyone try to make war on us?"

“No, Master Ali. Surprisingly, the source of the tremor came from the upper part as if fighting! ”

“What? What you are saying is impossible! ”

"I'm telling the truth, Master Ali!"

Ali clenched his fist and shouted. “Get the horses ready!”

They move quickly on their horses.

They headed in what the messenger's said, and Hander, Kristoff, Jigger, and Thiara were riding horses together with the others.

"Master Kairo may be the one who knows why the earth is shaking!" Thiara shouted as they quickly ran their horses.

"Maybe he's facing Hyperion!" Jigger replied.

“We need to hurry! Hiya! ”

Extreme tension continues around wildly as the sands seem to be smoke billowing around in conjunction with strong winds. Hander's group could see the massive explosion source based on the dark clouds surrounding it not so far away. They also saw the sky in a vigorous movement that seems evil would conquer the world.
