First Month on Summer Season 2021.
Midnight at California.
I sit on the couch where the light off at Joana House. I can't sleep or to more precisely Dantalian's words bothers me, I mean, After looking at my absurd situation his words become more and more convinced. If the world really meets the end then,... what he means that I must prepare for my self? all of the religion tells when the end of the world happens, no one life can be spared. I don't want to believe but my mind and my instinct tell the opposite.
*Silent...
I must be crazy.
" Dantalian, You there? "
" Yup "
" F*ck " His head suddenly show up exactly at the front of my face like a freaking ghost.
" I'm Already told you, I'm always beside you like a friend for eternity " then, he sits right beside me.
" Gross, And don't show up like that, if I got a heart attack what are you gonna do "
" Posses your body "
...
" Forget that " I look at him seriously.
" Your words before It's- "
" True and It's almost the time " He cuts my words.
" What do you mean by that? " Now, I have goosebumps.
" The time has come for the prophecy "
" What prophecy? "
" Sorry it's a secret I can't tell you more "
" What? How can... "
" I give you some advice if you want to survive, make a contract with my fellow demons "
" What do you- brother? " There Jean walk half-sleep hugging Eve the Barbie.
" Jean? Sorry if my sound wakes you up, go sleep again I turn my voice down " I make a gesture of reducing volume with my fingers.
" Who's that brother? "
" Who? " I pretend to ignore the existence of my bastard friend,... Demon Friend.
" That brother, the beautiful one " Her index finger pointing at Dantalian.
" Hello little human, Do you want a lollipop? " Like a magician, A lollipop comes out from his hand.
" Whoah... MAGIC!!! " And now she wakes up completely.
" Again, Again " She drops Eve and claps her hand loudly.
" Shhhhhhh,... " She copying my gesture and went to silent.
" Jean? " And now the mother wakes up.
" A few Second before the time, I gonna back first forget to bring the toy " Like a smoke, he vanishes.
" Brother " Jean comes to me, get up to the couch and whispering something to my ears.
" Where's the brother go? I want to see the magic again " A cute way to ask.
" Ah " I whisper to her ears " He will back later "
" Jean? What are you doing here? don't disturb Sam, I'm sorry Sam "
" It's okay, I can't sleep so,... she actually accompanies me "
" Oh, let's go Jean back to sleep " Joana Pick Her ups
" Okay " Well, She makes a cute way answer for someone who doesn't want to sleep again but can't help because she is the mothers.
*Shake
" Earthquake," I said.
" It's BIG !!! Out, Out, Run OUT !!! " I shout loudly and Joana with Jean run without a blink then me following behind.
" EVE !!! " Jean Desperately calls for her friend.
" I take it, go first " I run back to take the Barbie.
The shakes become stronger. I fell like walking on hanging bridge when a strong wind strikes and shakes the bridge. The lamp falls down, the cracks of the wall, the sound of Cars Alarm. We reach the outside and a sea of people gathers on the road watching the shakers. I met with Joana and Jean. A fear face can be seen on her and the people on the road until,...
The Earth split apart.
" RUN !!! "
" Joana RUN !!! " Like a sheep flock running from the wolf, the people run to try to avoid their death.
" AHHHHHHH "
" NOOOO !!! "
" HELP US " One by one, the sound of despair can be heard clearly behind my back.
" MOMMY " Jean crying and held tightly around to her mothers.
" JEAN DON'T LOOK !!! CLOSE YOUR EYES !!! " She closes her eyes obediently.
" DON'T OPEN IT UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN !!! " She nod but fear still can be seen.
*BRRRUUGGHHRRRRR
A building collapse right beside me.
" KEEP RUNNING !!! "
Run To Survive. It's the first thing I do when the earthquake strikes. Ignore everybody who shouts 'help us, help me ' even a guy who falls at the front of me, I ignore it. it's Human nature to tries to survive their own self when death comes like a wave.
" You write that Lem? " Wicked said to one of his men.
" Yes Prof, Never thought can read his journey with you Prof " Lem write everything that Wicked said on the notebook. he sits at the end of the stairs. Wicked walk carefully to the middle of scarce books.
" Found it, Write again,... ah remember to change the POV "
" Roger that Prof "
" When ... "
When the Earthquake stop, I look at my surroundings. On the dark sky, a sea of people at the hills watching the aftermath of the disaster with a face full of dust. Tears fall, searching for their own family, saying I'm sorry, praying to the god and cursing to the god. I look at Joana stand on my left side crying. Unconsciously, I hug her, try to comfort her,... maybe I try to comfort my self imagine this disaster also strikes where my family and Young Jun resides. I pray to the god when my self doesn't believe of their existence. At least, If there a god, I hope he can protect my family.
When the future record the history of this disaster, they can't believe this disaster not only strikes California but around the world at the same time. The people call this 'The beginning of the end'. A data center estimate around thirty percent of the human population became the victim of the disaster. This earthquake to also introduce us, the human earth to the real words of 'Superpower, Supernatural Power, Esper, Magic, Etc.
" This is just the first phase " Dantalian show ups and look at the state of the city as well as me.
" The next phase is the longest and the most brutal one " Right now, I can't ignore his existence again. I stand there listening to his monologue.
" Everything will change in the second phase " his eye looks to somewhere far away.
" Moral turn upside down " Farther.
" Violence everywhere " A cold eyes.
" Bloodbath " A cold tone.
" It's all about Survival " Then he looks at me.
" You must survive this apocalypse, My friend. " I look at his eyes. Like a knight, he bows down, put his right hand to his chest then his face, body, genders and voice changes every second while said something that I remember until my death.
" We The Demon Of Solomon will help you to rise from these trials and help you to gain back the throne " Then everything changes back to his original appearances and he put an evil smile on his face.
" My Kings, This is my powers "
