[1 Hour later]
.
It's 8 AM now, I think it's better to go now, so I can investigate this matter longer and get some time before dinner, or mother gonna kill me for real, I'm getting out of my bedroom, I stopped for a sec and look at Richan bedroom door.
.
I think he is taking a bath right now, well, I hope it's just a normal checkup for him today, not wasting any time, I'm going downstairs and straight to the garage, there, mother and father already waiting.
.
Mom held my hand and said "Duran, make sure to be back before dinner " I kiss my mother hand and reply "Okay mom, ill be there", and father, he pats my shoulder and said to me too "You always make us proud Duran, you gonna be a great man" and I kiss his hands too and replied " Don't worry Father, I'm always trying to not disappoint our family", I'm getting on my car, and set off.
.
While waiting on the way, Im gonna explain anything about me in general.
.
My name is Durandal Puratama (21 Years old), first son of Callion Rein Puratama and Sarah Nell Puratama, big brother of Richan Puratama.
.
And also the heir of the Order of Black Moon, an ancient Order from the era of glorious prophet Daramuh until now.
.
Now, our order is already on 84th Generation with Callion Rein Puratama or my father as the leader of the order, and it's my job as the first son to keep the order keep going because every next leader is always the descendant of Hamid Nur Puratama the close companion or you can call, best friend of the prophet, who is also the founder of Order of Black Moon.
.
By history, Sir Hamid is a man who upholds justice and goodwill very much, he wants to protect the prophet and also his prophecies, then, that's why Order of Black Moon is formed, he recruits the member from orphans, freeing slaves, also beggars, then he trains them to many varieties, soldiers, merchant, scholars, and even assassin.
.
The goal of our order is to keep the truth about the prophecies of Daramuh, who is also the last prophet who sent by God in our belief, and keep the evil at bay, because in this world, wherever, and whenever we are, there is always an evil, and evil is never ceased, no matter how many you tried.
.
That I believe, if you already erasing one evil, it's gonna born another evil, and that's why we must be careful in this world, especially to people with power, politicians, generals, and even its president, if it is necessary, and to protect the entire humanity, we're gonna erase them.
.
Now, we arrived at the door of HQ, in the middle of the forest, in the north of our city, and for entering the HQ, I just need to shout the secret code.
.
"THERE IS NO GLORY IN JUSTICE WITHOUT COMPASSION"
.
After I shout, the ground is shaking, and then, we're going down, the ground is actually a platform which is also the secret door of our HQ, and our HQ is 500 ft below the ground, and that's why our HQ is a secret base, so is our existence.
.
Around 5 minutes later, I've arrived, I get out of the car and went straight to the metal door in front of me, it opened itself.
.
Some guards waiting for me, straighten up their chest and greet me "Welcome back young master, may peace be upon you" they put their right hand on their left shoulder and bow a little, and that's how we do our salute.
.
In reply, I also put my right hand in my left shoulder but Im not bowing it's not because I underestimate them, it's because that's how this works here, it's the hierarchy on our Order.
.
"And may peace be upon you too, get back to your post," I say to guards, they back to their post.
.
I back to my track and get on to my office, normally, every member in the HQ greet me on the way, it's a big responsibility to be in this place, I must keep my posture dignified, and that's because I'm the next Leader in charge of these people, in case father is gone.
.
Im arrived in my office, and someone is already waiting for me in there, it's my Private secretary, Zulayka, or Zula for the short, she is the daughter of Order Merchant captain, and she also enrolling in my college, we're pretty close if I can say.
.
"Zula, any new report?" I said to her.
.
She gave me a document and she says "The report of our Assassins which investigating the recent scandals of this world is being lead to an activity of another party".
.
"Is it them? the Iblez worshipper" I reply to Zula while tapping on the table with the tip of my finger.
.
Zula say to me again " It seems so, we find many clues which lead to it, including a track of pentagram and their marks of the Satan on one of their people we eliminated"
.
I take a deep breath "So they are on the move now, I wonder what's make them more active".
.
I take the document and read it, and yes, these are like what father was told me back then, the pentagram, marks of Satan and if it is connected with the scandals, it all makes sense, they are coming back to the surface.
.
I save the document in my bag "Im gonna tell father later, many thanks Zula" she replied, "It's nothing, young master".
.
Tch, why she called me that, that makes me uncomfortable, then I stand and approach her, "Zula, how many times must I say, about how you must call me when we're alone", it seems she a bit surprised.
.
"Bu…bu…but young mas.." I stopped her midway "ssstt don't say it again", she blushed and said, "All.. Alright Duran" she so cute, no wonder she is called as queen on college, oh yeah, I forgot my main objective this time, I must investigate this immediately, so I can make it to dinner on time.
.
"Keep it like that okay? oh yeah, I'm going to the Sea of Knowledge right now, I need to investigate something" while turning back to the door, Zula asks me "Investigate? about what Duran?", I stopped and say immediately to her "It's Richan".
.
She seems a bit surprised "Your little brother? what's going on with him?".
.
"I, Im gonna tell you later, if we have some free time" I replied.
.
"Uhmm, please be careful," she said with a low tone.
.
"Of course, who do you think I am" I reply with a cheeky voice
.
Then I leave my office and straight to Sea of Knowledge, which is actually the grand library of our Order from century to century, in hope of confirming my bad feeling since yesterday, because this is, for my little brother, my family too.
.
And I will spend every sweat and blood of mine to protect them.
