Red and Ying Yang come out of the lake. This lake has become their lair. Albert comes from the hill behind the forest.
"so you all still waiting for me? Thank you"
I thanks them because they're still waiting for me and no one from them go out from this place.
"no big deal, our master calling us, and that's matter."
Ying yang said to me.
"indeed"
Red in agreement with ying yang
"...."
Albert, nodding toward me.
"hahaha, is that so? But I'm not your master you know, I'm your friend. You can call me Galen from right now on. I feel really uncomfortable being called master by my friend."
"if thou wish it."
The three then nodded at me.
"I have read all the books. I see, so the three of you still alive because of ate the crystal?"
"Yes. we ate the crystal, that is why we live longer."
red said to me
I talked to them while I'm trying to touch the three of them.
The name of the Snake is red because his skin is Red. That's why I called him red. But right now, the color in Red's body becomes bright red. Like the color of the blood, it really fits him. Ying Yang is a koi fish import from Japan. The name was given because his scale is half white and half black. That is why Teacher Wessel names it Ying Yang. His skin is beautiful maybe Teacher Wessel given him good quality food when he is still small.
Albert the eagle, there is no meaning in his naming only the name of the Albert was passing in teacher's head, that's why he calls it Albert. that was what teacher's said to me.
"once again, thank you, three of you, for waiting for me. Even when you don't know when I woke up, you still waiting for me!"
"don't mind it, is our work."
Albert finally spoke
"thank you, hey it's just my curiosity. I look at the Guild information there is a monster class who has been ranked by the Guild, are the three of you are some high ranking monster?"
I've been curious ob them since I read the monster information about the ranking.
"yes, I Red Rank as Mythical Beast."
"I Calamity Beast,"
Albert said
"And I too Calamity Beast,"
"hmmm, so that means... Red is stronger than you two? because in the guild ranking, Mythical beast is higher than the calamity beast."
"nonsense, we are equal. The difference between Mythical Beast and Calamity was, the Mythical Beast have their own flock. the calamity doesn't have a flock of their own"
Albert said it while denying what I said. He looks upset when I said red was more strong than him.
"ooooo so that's it, you three look really strong then. I thought the three of you got a category as ancient beast since the three of you live for 5000 years."
"no, the three of us can't be compared to the ancient beast,"
ying-yang said
"that's right."
Red agreed to what ying-yang said
"Ancient Beast is more powerful moreover that thing destroys the common sense of the world."
"well, seeing you three right now for me is already breaking the common sense of this world, you know."
"hahahahahaha"
"that's true."
Three of them laughing, when I said that to them, it's fun for me to be able to laugh with my friend, maybe an old friend? Are the three of them can be categorized as an old friend? I wonder since I meditate for 5000 years. But for me, it only took me 3 hours.
"oh, by the way, why are you protecting me? Is it because Andrian moving three of you here? are at that time you already understand human language? and from what are you protecting me?"
I always wonder why the three of them protecting me, what their reason for protecting me? Is it because they want to return the favor when they are in my care?
"We can understand human language before that, but for me, and Red to protecting thou is not at that time, we began protecting thou since 2000 years ago."
Albert answered it
"2000 years ago? so Ying yang was the only one who protected me since 5000 years ago, and what happened to you two before protecting me?"
the two of them looked at each other with an awkward look
"we.. we.. we never listen to Andrian, we going to the outside island. we destroy and eat everything whatever we found"
I looked at them with a troubled face. Well, I'm not gonna blame them. Maybe, because of the sudden climate change and the evolving thing in the Earth, it makes their instinct back for the moment.
"so basically, you go back to your animal instinct?"
""yes""
said the two
no wonder the two of them is one of the deadly predators, after all.
"and how about you ying yang? What do you do for these 5000 years? did you only protecting me all this time?"
"There is no place as comfortable more than this lake. Besides, no matter what, it's my job to protect thou master."
There's something strange when ying-yang said it was his job to protecting me? What does he mean by the job? Who gives him that job? If I'm not wrong, Andrian didn't command them. And it looks like the three of them was not this big when Andrian move them in here.
"hmmm, now I'm getting more curious as to why all of you calling me master and even said is your job to wait for me? is there any particular reason you wait for me?"
I asked the three. I'm still confused as to why the three of them call me master. And tell the people in the village to calling me, master.
Three of them looked at each other, it looks like they're confused about who will tell me about their reason. finally,
Ying yang answered my question.
"it's destiny, Andrian wants us to protect you, but he never said it. but there's another person who wants us to protect thou and that girl says you're the next chosen one."
Something picked my interest when ying-yang said that girl, it reminds me of my dream. And what he means by the chosen one?
"chosen one? What do you mean by that? and who is the girl you mention?"
I really confuse when they said to me I'm the chosen one. Now not only Avalon, 13 God Name, and right now the chosen one what it's mean?
"the girl from 2000 years ago, she said thou will wake up this year, and us three should be help thou."
Another shocking truth was revealed. My awakening from the meditation is being predicted by someone.
'the girl who predicted me, she said I will wake up this year? and how come the three of them obey that order without any question... is that girls maybe....'
I have the feeling the girls who predict me is someone who told me to go to Avalon. But I really don't know who she is, I only have the vague answer of who she is. To be precise, there is no way I know the girls from 2000 years ago that they mention, at that time I'm still in a meditation state. And it was impossible if those girls are 'her' so I deny the possibilities of that girl.
"do you know the girl's name or what she looks like?"
Red wants to say something, but Ying Yang stopped him, give him a huge splash of water on his face, I asked them while confused.
"what's the matter?"
"no, it's just that we... don't know how to say it. it's really impossible for her to still alive, but her aura and smell it's true like her"
Red said it.
"yes"
"indeed"
the three of them agreeing on something that I don't understand.
"what? what do you mean she still alive?"
The three looked at each other worried and then.
"I will tell thou master, but I don't know if it's true her or not, but we just feel so nostalgic from the smell and her appearance since she is the other one who takes care of us, she is....."
What about ying-yang said to me is really shocking. Another truth has been revealed. The truth is harder to believe than any other truth that was said to me. I can't remember the time I was chatting with them, the night at that time, is really cold as the night of winter.
The morning sun already appears. I can feel the warmth of the sun, it looks like I can't sleep that night after what all the three said to me. I rain them with the question when they reveal the truth of that girl. In the end, I got back to the Aula in the morning.
I already determined what I gonna say to the Elder that noon. I go back and find the three elders are already waiting for me.
'shouldn't they come this noon? I told Warren to meet me at noon, so why they already come this morning?'
"Morning, Warren, Hoshi, Arashi"
I greet them
"There is still a time you know before the time."
"Morning too. We know my Lord, it's just that this is my selfish wish to come early in the morning."
"Morning. yeah me too. I'm sorry that we can't answer your calling yesterday. that is why we came here early in the morning."
"Well.... whatever, just come in. I will talk it earlier than I scheduled then."
The four of us going in the Aula, the elder guide me to the conference room. The conference room is so big. This room's capacity is for 200 people, we take to sit on the chair that has already been prepared. When the maid already brought the water, the guard then locked down the conference room. Because of that, this talk looks like a secret conference that shouldn't know to anybody. Though this is only a normal talk.
'they really like to exaggerate if it is about me huh? whatever'
I began to talk.
"I'm sorry to call all of you. I know all you have the schedule, but I..."
Before I finish the sentence, Arashi interrupts me.
"it's okay, my Lord. you don't need to apologize we should be the ones to apologize since two of us can't answer your call yesterday."
"no no, it's okay. yesterday I just suddenly calling all of you. Is okay even if all of you didn't answer my calling"
"no, we must answer no matter what is our duty as the Elder after all."
they are really stubborn. Why don't they accept my apologies already, if the conversation is still like this then it can't go on any further.
"well, then back to the topic, there is something I want to talk and consult to three of you."
"and what is it, my Lord?" Warren asked me
"I want to become an SS class rank adventure,"
I said my intention to them.
