Chereads / The 12th Guardian / Chapter 61 - It is Forbidden

Chapter 61 - It is Forbidden

"So my father was handsome?"

[Twilight, confused]

"Yes but that isn't the point of the story."

[Romina]

"Then what is?"

[Twilight]

"What he did for us here on the island. You see, at the time we didn't have much hope of surviving. Being a newly formed Sea God and having inhabitants wasn't easy for Diamon. You see even know Diamon hasn't fully developed, so it is unknown if it will be a male or a female, and to make things worse with the Corruption spreading from creature to creature Diamon's growth has slowed. For a sea god this is very detrimental. By now you should've seen the vegetation change color, correct?"

[Romina]

"Change colors? The only thing we've seen is some glowing white and some really dark plant life."

[Twilight]

"Hmm that is a little strange too then. It is almost the Audim which means the plants should be changing more vigorously."

[Romina]

"Changing Vigorously? What do you mean?"

[Crystal]

"So the Audim here is very special. There's a meadow a little ways ahead called the Shifting Meadow. The plants there were once corrupted by the Sin, but during his visit Shiro cleansed them."

[Romina]

"Though the corruption did stick, the plants now shift between a Dark Corruptible form to a more Holy and cleansing one."

[Diamonian 2]

"It sounds like a kinda dangerous area. Oh it is but for someone wanting to harvest Corruption it is like a gold Mine."

[Obitiga]

"Do you think that's why the Cloaked Zenshu Member came here?"

[Crystal]

"Maybe, we probably should hurry."

[Twilight, in response to Crystal]

"If your assumption is correct then we definitely should, Naraku my son help these travelers out."

[Romina]

"Help! But they are nothing but a group of strangers. How are we to know if they are not also a part of the Zenshu. Just here to trick us into giving away our home."

[Naraku, in rage]

"You are right my child, but you must remember if we do not trust who this young man says he is, how are we to save this world before we lose it."

[Romina, placing her hand on Naraku shoulder]

"I apologize mother, you are right."

[Naraku, settling down]

"Please take them to the empty tent to be settled in."

[Romina]

"In the meantime I will notify the other village and let us see if they have heard of or seen this Cloaked Member they are in search of."

[Romina, thinking to herself]

[Naraku begins to take the team towards a tent]

"So did you really not see the Cloaked Member, did you see them?"

[Crystal]

"No but we might know where they are headed."

[Naraku]

"Well the carnival is in that direction."

[Diamonian 2]

"That's where they probably are. We aren't sure but it's probably another Cult Member."

[Twilight]

"You cannot go there, it is dangerous."

[Naraku]

"And forbidden!"

[Diamonian 2]

"Forbidden or not if that is where they might be then I'm going. There's something I need to know."

[Twilight, as he storms away]

"Wait for us!"

[Crystal, as Obitiga joins]

While Twilight stormed his way in the direction Naraku pointed out and the others followed. Naraku and his brothers enclosed them creating a circle.

"I'm sorry but you can not make your way there."

[Diamonian 2]

"If we allow you we may all be in danger."

[Naraku]

"How?"

[Obitiga, confused]

"You see we were made to Scout the area once."

[Diamonian 3]

"These people were moving other people. With his weapon on began to chop at them."

[Naraku]

"We are unsure what kind of savages are among them."

[Diamonian 1]

"So we have to be prepared. That's all I heard."

[Twilight, storming off]

"Stop!"

[Narku, grabbing Twilight shoulder]

"Don't worry, we've got it if you don't want to come join us."

[Twilight, knocking Naraku's hand off]

As the commotion between the two grows, Romina begins to intervene.

"Diaen's what is wrong?"

[Romina, curiously]

"Nothing Mother, it seems they want to head in the forbidden direction."

[Naraku]

"It seems they think it is where the Zenshu member has gone."

[Diamonian 1]

"I am sorry Twilight, you may be the Son of our legendary Shiro but even you do not want to head to the forbidden place."

[Romina, pleading to Twilight]

"The Carnival?"

[Crystal]

"Seriously, we can handle ourselves."

[Twilight, beginning to leave once again]

"Even if those people happened to be members of the Cult, Nion would love us to confirm first."

[Crystal]

"We're sorry Romina but we have to go. It is a part of our mission."

[Obitiga, apologizing]

"Then please guide Naraku to the Guardian. Make sure he does not end up like the Urakos after our daily hunt."

[Romina, pleading with her son]

"Yes Mother, I will protect him."

[Naraku, giving his mother a Diamonian goodbye]

"If we are going to go then we must train first. I will not let myself die because of you outsiders."

[Naraku, as he leads the group off]

Heading towards the direction of the Carnival, Naraku planned to get the group to pause and train. Finding a small area where not many Animals were laying. When we made camp the four of us began to conversate. Trying to get to know each other we began discussing Naraku and the Diamonians as well as the island. It seems Naraku was Rominas only son and he his only Guardian. As a child he would adventure around the island with his two brothers, and sister. Their father included. One day while they were out, attacked. Another village, the Disako Village, attacked them while camping. In order to save his children he sacrificed himself. As they were escaping the Disakos began hunting them down one by one. He lost his siblings while he was able to make it back to Village. Ever since the two villages have been at war, attacking each other one they have set sight on the other. We also talked about the creatures of the land. As we were planning to train off a few of them he had to inform us. It seemed they were not just Animal types but Humanistic and Plant based.
