Gala lightly rubs his injured hand. The blood caused by Muezza's fang bite has created a wide hole, and the scratch wound can be expected to require several stitches. But he doesn't care. His eyes sharply stare at the black cat that still growls, unapproachable by anyone. Even Seth has to step back a few steps from his previous position because the cat is completely hostile."I don't know what happened. If you're angry at me, that's okay. I understand. But don't make a scene here. I'm waiting for Cathleen to wake up." Gala once again tries to approach. He uses his injured hand to reach Muezza's head. "I'm worried just like you."Muezza remains silent, with eyes still sharply staring at Gala. The thick fluid drops are completely ignored by the owner of the hand. Instead, the hand is used to gently stroke its head. As if channeling the same feeling; the fear of loss. Slowly, Muezza closes its eyes and lowers its guard. It finally humbles itself. Sitting calmly enjoying Gala's strokes. B
"Why do I have to be able to defend a strategy while in front of me, the enemy is almost cornered to lose?" Gala asks as he quickly adjusts his glasses. He starts to control the movements of the bullets he hasn't mastered yet, including the blind spot where he can make an attack.They are practicing shooting for the first time where Gala himself is quite surprised by the reflexes he has. How could he be skillful when the weapon is already in his hands? Whereas before, he trembled and almost fainted as soon as the hologram girl pointed her gun at him. Where the die hanging on Gala's neck now shows some of its contents. A weapon that makes Gala stare in disbelief because, truly, this impossibility turns out to be real."Attacks to kill the opponent and pressing, while defending to ensure you live and leave the battle arena safely without injury."Oh my God! Why does Gala have to be involved with this annoying hologram girl? Plus, the light that surrounds him today is bright blue like a
Gala just stood there, frozen. It's been two days since Kyler declared that he couldn't save the girl; he could only contemplate. For a long time. And now, here, where the air drops several degrees below, and everything he sees is mostly covered in white. Even his feet, used to feeling the warm air of West Metro, are starting to stiffen because of the surrounding temperature. But he doesn't care because his eyes are focused more on the box where the figure of the girl he misses so much, fought to be back with him, hadn't fulfilled all his promises, lies.The transparent glass covers right above it, where a few people who came (in this case, Seth only allowed a few people to say goodbye before his daughter's body was cast into the sea towards the eternal gate. Because almost all the residents knew and believed that the pride of East Metro had been gone for hundreds of years. It will cause many questions and may create its own turmoil about Cathleen's existence. Even for the ceremony pr
The atmosphere in the East Metro sky is not as bright as usual. Even though the moon has started to enter a phase where the sunlight is warmer and able to make the streets throughout East Metro not too thickly covered in snow. Where it's utilized by some residents to start sailing with their large ships. The snowstorm that occurs in the middle of the sea will certainly not be as intense as in other months. But today, it's as if the East Metro sky is mourning the grief that its leader is feeling.Seth still remembers his activities with his daughter back then. Wandering with a traditional sled pulled by fluffy dogs that are mostly well-maintained by some residents. Also accompanying them to cut through the untouched forests around the borders of East and North Metro. A dense forest where the pine trees soar very high. The tops of the trees are mostly covered with thick snow. The demographics that East Metro has seems to create a very sturdy fence to protect everything inside it. Withou
For someone who spent a lot of time alone, where he once thought he could never meet his parents again, trying as hard as possible to survive. It doesn't matter who underestimates him. He doesn't want revenge to be his own vendetta. Suddenly, someone appears who observes him, cares for him, raises his hopes, tries to forge him to be better – undoubtedly, the arrival of this new person means a lot to him. And when that new person leaves forever, the young man doesn't know how to face his life anymore.Although... he managed to find both of his parents. He saved them. And at least, what he wanted is achieved. To live peacefully with his family.The sky he's looking at now still offers the same beauty as when he first set foot here. In this wooden cottage, his father spent a lot of time during his visits to East Metro hundreds of years ago. Usually, Cathleen was always by his side. Talking about all kinds of possibilities was also something that left a deep impression on him. The journey
"Have you seen Gala?" Maverick has been quite curious about the young man since earlier. Since that news came, he hasn't wasted any time. Seth Rafael can't be lying, but after hundreds of years? What really happened? And how can this young man seem to know the girl in the white coffin very well? Maverick is not blind to notice that some people, including Xavier, seem very affected by this event.As far as his memory goes about the battle that took place between all of them and Gideon, there is no leader of the regions who did not survive. Everything returned to normal despite suffering some injuries. Only Gala. Yes, only that young man didn't come back. Xavier, who last met the young man, did not answer any of Maverick's questions about the whereabouts of his son. As if they were hiding something, but Maverick didn't understand.They returned with a lot of questions, which also made Mave and Alexander agree to search for the whereabouts of the young man. Although Maverick doesn't have
The last trace of Seth's troops deliberately following Gala ends near the Netland village border. One of the quite remote villages but is one of the most popular tourist destinations for residents of North and South Metro. Most tourists come from both Metro regions. The village is still surrounded by evidence where snow perfectly covers its peaks, but it gets the most sunlight. Strangely, the warm light cannot make the hilltops melt. Only pine forests that still grow lush and maintain their authenticity.For this search, Seth was asked not to join, although the man insisted. But what Jiro said was true. At least for the next few days, Seth shouldn't leave the White House, especially when his heart is still uncontrollable. Losing Cathleen must be a severe blow for him. Kyler, who came earlier, also agreed with what Jiro said. Choosing to accompany Seth in this city center.Actually, for Xavier, this search is not too necessary. He is sure Gala is fine. Even if this search needs to be d
Moreover, until that moment, his whereabouts were unknown. And now, for some reason, what really happened and what he went through made him even more curious."What do you want to ask, Alex?"The sturdy man is quite surprised to hear a question from Xavier. When he turns, the man next to him just laughs."Your head is so noisy."Alex blinks slowly. "Don't tell me you know what I—""You guys are too noisy," Xavier quickly interrupts, then his eyes turn to Maverick, who is still enjoying his cigar. "Especially you, Mave.""You know, I do love talking. My mouth feels cramped just being silent like this all the time. Luckily, the cigars I brought have enough stock until tomorrow." Maverick only glances briefly. "I'm sure whatever's in my head Alex won't be easy for you to share, right? So don't bait us to pressure you to speak."This time, Xavier laughed. "I still can't find the right correlation about your relationship with Gala. Has my son often visited you guys?"Both Maverick and Alex
