1726 Words
The night has reached the rim, the Outer rim of Khasalit. Lantern lighting up the area. A mix of dirt and sand path, wrongfully called street. But still its counts as one. Moon slowly comes to conquer this land for another day.
Two day passed from the day of the incident. Those two poor day.
The mess and chaos is slowly calming down. In close proximity, peoples are starting to pay less attention for this. Only passed two day, but the people whos was the closest settlement, can't do much about this. Aside from speaking about it. Spreading rumors about it. Telling tales. And most importantly, hoping that this won't happen with them.
Those who are interested in this are far further, from this place. By tie they will make a move too.
Nothingness.
The same place where, Nadilik meet with that strange person. Aside from that this is the same place, it doesn't looked like. It had the same feeling, while have nothing in there. Just, that one person. His hands was just bare bones, like a skeleton. Wearing a long and torned black cape.
"Thank you, Nadilik." Sayed the person in black coat.
"Huh"
Nadilik was shocked
"Just only seconds past when i hold this person's hand and agreed to help me. Then why do i feel, there is more time was pass near me, not second, and not even hour. I don't know but it feel wrong."
the idea comes throught in Nadilik's mind
"Answer me, Why do i feel like it, it has been days passed. While there where a second ago that we agreed, and shaked hands."
"It is, a stopped time warp. The time isn't flowing here."
"Then why is this feeling?"
"huhhhh..."
This answer was just not enough for Nadilik.
Suddenly the skeletal person has vanished. An eerie sound can be heard.
"Its time to wake up"
Then for the second time everything goes to black.
The Outer rim, Hajiki family's tent.
A place where the group stayed for 1 night and 1 day. Possible they will stay for another 1 night.
When Nadilik is slowly waken up with severe headcahe, she open her eyes. The scenery what welcomed her is a roof of the room where they used to stay. The light was on, giving the idea that the night is on, and the day is passed.
Slowly sitting up.
By that she noticed, that this isn't a bed more like a just sheets covering the floor. The floor was dirt. This is coarse dirt, mix with sand.
She was on her [bed]. More like the sheets of her bed. She was wearing a black goth lolita clothes.
"Huh?"
It wasn't odd for her if this would be a usual day at the city. But not now, not this time. It was suspiciuos for her to be dressed like this . By all means she loved this clothes and have many of them. But this one, she didn't recognized it.
"I don't remember having this cloth. Or even that i dressed up like this."
The confusion and the headache are giving their effects.
Earlier the meeting with that complete stranger was confusing enought, but this wasn't better for to say. She look around, saw a big scythe placed near to the wall. It was black with strange ornaments. At the back of the the blade the was something which represented an eye.
"Is that thing was there, or it has appear at that moment when i look there?
There is to much thing which missing from my memory."
Nadilik was irritated by the lack of memory from when they fought that beast till they arrived here.
She reach to her head, slighly moving her head back just to see the textil roof of the tent.
*Inhale*
*exhale*
"how do i get here?
Maybe someone find me at the ruins? Or that person with the black coat bring me hear?
Or one of-"
The sudden realizment.
Nadilik panicked, she looking around the room, desperately. Like she searching for something.
"Where are the others? Where is everyone? Did they survived that monster?"
Nadilik was shocked and the fear of losing her friends. It started againg her crumble. Bit by bit, like a downwarding stairs. Drops of small endlessly recursing black pearls falled out. Those comes out off nowhere. How those thought scared Nadilik more and more, the pearls falled more frequently.
She rushed to the veil. With a quick move, she pulled the door made out of textil. The veil.
"Gladly you are all alive, I'm so grateful that you are all here, living."
This was a suprised for everyone. Seeing Nadilik rushing out the room. She had a big smile on her face, with two river crousing on her face. From her eyes, to her chin where the twinriver becomes one bigger river, to reaching the final pont of the river. The floor.
It was a river made by tears, joyfoul tears which are filled with relief.
In front of Nadilik there was the group's other three member. Gallahed, Hajiki, Reweka. next to them are the rest of the Hajiki family. Onkalite Hajiki's mom, Surkita, Tenras, Merkrais Hajiki's sisters. Lastly there was an officer in there. A peace keeper from a near district. Nagrasiel.
Nadilik and Nagrasiel's reaction was the same.
"You?!"
The story of this night, when Nadilik waked up from Nagrasiel perspective.
Negrata district, Outer rim.
"Ughhh, I'm finally here. Again!"
He had to walk back to Negrata, because in here the tele-communicate isn't working.
"Now i just need to find where they are. "
The thought of Nagrasiel.
He looks around, search for hanabaks to ask about. Shortly find one.
A mid-height spider hanabaks. His clothes was ripped. He is carrying a crate to a shabbily made stand.
Nagrasiel quickly jump in. Helping to the man, Nagrasiel reach his hand toward the crate. The man first turned away, securing the crate. Nagrasiel didn't took this to his heart, he knew why the men did what it did. Nagrasiel know this place to much. The man search all over Nagrasiel with his eyes. He saw the uniform of the peacekeeper, the medal. He turn around, now he looked at Nagrasiel. To a smile he gived the crate to Nagrasiel.
"Thank you, peacekeeper."
Nagrasiel helped him to carry his stuff to the stand.
"Now, that we finished. Can i ask you something?"
Asked Nagrasiel.
"About the content of the crate?"
An instant reply from him.
"No, that's the city's responsibility. I want to ask that, have you seen four scarphunter around here? Especially one with a fancy frilly dress?"
"Hmmmm. There was a commotion a few days ago. That night some many resident of this lostland was speaking about it. And it grow even bigger when it turned out two of them are was living here too. That two was resident of the Outer rim. But now, they rarely come here. Those lucky brats, good for them."
"So you say they are escaped from the rim?"
"Yes, rumors speaks it is a work of someone form over the cogrential Line"
"Huh?!"
Nagrasiel was shocked.
"From that far!?"
"Its not sure, as i sayed this are rumors."
"Okay let's put this aside for a moment. Do you know where they are?"
"They are at Hajiki Onkalite's tent. It could be that his daugther came to visit. But which of the four? I wonder."
"Sigh, Onkalite.
So the scraphunters are staying at her tent?"
The spider hanabaks nod.
"Onkalite, i am happy that your daugther Hajiki Kiurneia visited you.
Onkalite, i am sad that this happened when your daughter came to visit you."
This tought runned in Nagrasiel's head.
He reached the entrance of Hajiki's mom tent. He was a frequent quest at there. Back then, it was out of his juridictional territory. That has changed when one of the peacekeeper's house was blowned up. Guess what, it was the one in Negrata. The other one was burned down by natural fire. After this, Nagrasiel get this places too, to his juridictional territory. It is now similarly large then five of this singular office.
The tent was like it been before. sligh changes occured.
He reach to the veil which functioned as a door. Slowly pulling it.
"Hello, Good morning Hajiki Family. Can i come in"
Sayed Nagrasiel. He patiently wait till the answer comes his way.
"Of course Nagrasiel, you always welcomed"
A happy and joyful voice brought his answer. she was Hajiki Onkalite, Hajiki Kiurneia's mother.
"Thank you, Onkalite. Sorry for i bother in the night."
"Nagrasiel, usually you isn't this formal when you came to visit us."
"It is true. Those occasion i had the ability to come as simple civil. Who just wanted to visit the friend of him. Sadly now i don't have this ability. I had to come to you as an officer, a peackeeper.
That's why i sayed , i sorry for the bother."
"What happend Nagrasiel?"
"I investigating a cause of murder. Someone killed the head of Natli family, possibly the whole Natli family. But this case hard, we only have one witness. Who saw the whole thing. He reported the incident at the morning. The killing based on the infos is happened yesterday night."
Onkalite was shocked. She at some level used to explosions and buildings consuming flames, more like their news of happening. Explosion could be heard across district, flames could be seen across district. But this level of mishappening. Was unusuall for her to. It scared her.
"Did you find the culprit."
"Not yet, by my misfortune and intuition it is close for us."
The two member of the group has arrived to it home. Hajiki and Reweka.
They entered the tent, at the same time Gallahed come out the other room.
In the main room there was Onkalite, Nagrasiel, Hajiki, Reweka and Gallahed.
"Guys welcome back."
sayed Onkalite.
"Onkalite who are they, i know Kiurneia. But the others i don't know."
Asked Nagrasiel.
"They are friends of Kiurneia. They came yesterday night, to stay in a bit. The fourth member was in bad shape so she is sleepeing in the other room."
Answered Onkalite.
"So, you are the four scraphunter which was at the ruin forest when that building high black monster showed up?"
Asked Nagrasiel the group.
