POV Warren
after Galen left us. the three of us are still on the shore looking at Galen until Galen can't be seen by us anymore. there is only the sound of wind and ocean waves can be heard. The silence comes for over 5 minutes.
"he really left isn't he?"
Hoshi was the one who talked first breaking the silence.
"haha, it's our master wish after all"
Arashi said
"well, it is okay you know we already know that this gonna happen if he wakes up aren't we?"
"that's true"
"Indeed, by the way, Warren.."
"hmmm, what?"
"Why do you didn't you tell our master about the letter and the dream? there should be connecting between them right?"
There is another letter that was written by first Elder Andrian and another Elder before us, we didn't give it to our Lord Galen because the purpose of the letter has already been delivered and not only that, the dream looks like already reach him so I have the feeling that I didn't to tell him about it.
"haha it's not like I don't want to give him a letter but it's just... the purpose of the letter has already been delivered and we already seeing him wake up then he tells all that story to us. I bet all of the things he said to us was connected to the letter of all the Elder before we write. our job is finished it's his choice what he wants to do right now, we just need to support him from now on"
"The content was if I'm not wrong...
'for all the elder after me, I want you to please try waking up Galen, please call his name on that lake. I know maybe it was hopeless but does not rule out the possibility that maybe he will wake up, because 'that girl' is still waiting for him, after all. please protect him at all cost 'until the day he wakes up come' and then gives him all the support that you have. because when he wakes up that's mean the world already at the end of her line and he is the only one who can carry the burden of our world. this is my last message, I want you to convey to all the future head of our village to always remember this.'
In the end, we didn't know who is that girl or what her connection to him but what we know from what Galen said, she is someone important to him. But to think all the elders before us write the same thing from time to time. if he didn't wake up in our time then are we will write the same thing like that? I don't know, but our job protecting him is already over. now it's our master's turn to fulfill his duty from now on. If what all the elders before us said is true then... this is maybe the right choice"
Arashi said spoke content of the letter while telling the other two what is in his mind. I have the same thinking as Arashi I doubt Hoshi have the same mind as us, but I'm sure she can understand it.
'that girl' already meet him and she even already spoke what she wants to say to him so we didn't need to tell him about our dream since if we tell him about it, it will never change that we will always help him no matter what. the content of the letter was like the prophecy, but we don't know if it's good to tell him about this letter. we afraid if we make him know he gonna have to carry all this big burden on his shoulder alone, that's why we never told him about it. I think soon enough we will know the answer to that dream and that letter. from now on we will be giving him all our support from far away so we can share the same burden.
"I hope the prophecy that all Elder gave was true,"
said Hoshi
"yes, I hope so"
"yeah"
three of us leave the shore and go back to the island. we pray that his journeys will end well. not like that 'dream', we hope he find his peace that he always wanted.
POV Jade
You can say I'm a dragon girl I live in the village 13 years ago, no, to be precise our tribe moves on to this village 13 years ago. right now I'm 20 years old. From what I know this village gives us refuge we are the tribe that has always been hunted down because the dragon tribe's heart is really pricey in the black market. our heart can be used as a doping drug to multiple the power that's why we are being hunted down. despite knowing our problem this village is welcoming us in here, I'm glad that they don't discriminate against us. as long as someone is still affiliated with this village then they will be welcomed. this village is weird they operate like some organization, they even have their lord in a meditation state, which is weird. At first, our tribe can't recognize him as our leader but slowly for sure near all of us admire him, is it because of that 'dream?' well, I don't know. for the compensation of our tribe can stay in here they made us participate in all the event in this village and they will take some youth to be trained in here. the compensation is not a big deal it basically is just a formality to depend our bond it was better than to take our heart as a drug. I was one of them, the one who has been trained by this village, I trained under master Hoshi. 4 years ago I have been permitted to go out from this village I become the youngest to go out from this village, In just 4 years in the outside of island I have become an S rank adventure, the village praised me for my accomplishment. three months ago I have a mission from the elder. the mission was to bring the communication device and letter, despite being so young I'm someone who have great combat ability in the village, the elders even recognize me that's why they let me out from the village. when I want to send the letter before I go out from the forest near the village, I felt some big power and presence from our village, I was surprised because this kind of power is bigger than the 3 elders, heck, even its more big than the three guardians. I have the feeling that this was our master aura so I decide to go back to the village because there is no way I will miss the chance when our master wakes up.
my decision to go back to the village was right, I turn back to the village. I hide on the shore for 4 days but the elder found me out because I don't give the message to that country. Arashi and Hoshi give me a hard scold. when I think the elder gonna lock me up in the village, my teacher Hoshi gives me a chance to become our master bodyguard. because our master wants to explore the world and because I'm someone that have been recognized by them so they let me be his bodyguard. I'm so happy to become our master bodyguard and guide in this journey.
Three months have passed. Today finally I will meet the master I wonder how he looks right now. I come out from the forest and see the Elder but there is no Master in there.
"Where is the master?"
I ask them
"Master was..., what a perfect timing look up he is gonna coming down." my master Hoshi said to me.
I look up at the sky suddenly someone with wing land in front of me.
'its master..., he really is already wake up'
for when I was 7 kid and live in the village I always see our master in meditating state he never wakes up but right now seeing him wake up like this and talking, make me feels really excited there is so much thing that I want to ask 'I'm really glad I turn back' this is like you're looking at your long-cherished dream. when I was still a kid I don't understand why he is in a mediate state? is he some saint or what? the elders said he is not a saint he is someone important to our village and this world, I don't understand what they mean but 10 years ago when all of the villagers have that 'dream' all of the villagers suddenly believe that he is really someone so important to them, because of that 'dream' I have been admired him since 10 years ago. I finally see the master that I admire I must work really hard to become a perfect bodyguard and guide for master.
POV Galen
"hey hey, master how it feels to Meditate 5000 years?"
"are you don't need to pee?"
"how about food?"
"tell me tell me"
this girl always making questions to me she was Jade she was from the dragon tribe in our village.
"hey, Jade can you stop calling me master from now on?" I'm ignoring her question
"hmmm, why? you're our master right?"
"it's just when we get into town/city S rank Adventure calling me master isn't it only make troublesome for me?"
"hyahaha, nope it's okay there will be no issue"
"even if there is no issue..., but to make it sure can you just call me by my name from now on"
"is that okay? is that okay with you? then can I call you Galen or Len for easier to call you?"
Hearing her calling me 'Len' bring me back my memory, Andrian used to call me 'Len' to think that I will hear that nickname again after all this, is really nostalgic, when Jade asked me how to call my name I did not answer her for a minute.
"master? master why are you so quiet? are there's something?"
"haha no it's not, is just I remember a past about someone calling me 'Len' "
"ehhh are you talking about Master Andrian right? the first Elder of the village? I read it in his diary! he is so cool, right? protecting his homeland and even his best friend I bet he is so handsome too!"
she is so passionate about talking about Andrian, seeing Jade talking about my best friend who already dead so passionate like this makes my heart happy. turns out jade is already read all the diary, I wonder if other villager permitted to read it by the elders?
"so Jade already read the diary? are the Elder and you alone who know about the diary?"
I ask her
"no, not only me, the Elder and eight people include me who approved by the village to get outside from the village is permitted to read it"
"so that means there are another 7 people who know about the diary?"
"yes because all the Villager who wants to go out of the village must know about the diary first!"
"hmmm, why is it they must know about the diary?"
"I don't know, that's the rule even before I move to that village. it looks like to decide who is gonna be elder next it's just my guess, we always send the people to the outside village to gather information but sometimes all the people who got out from the village become famous like me"
she proudly declares her self as a famous person
"heee, is that so? then are another 7 people who are out like you a famous person too?"
"of course, If I'm not wrong there's 2 our man who have a High ranking officer in another country, 2 of our villager live in harmony outside but one of them become guild master, another 2 of our villager have become a conglomerate for another country, and there is me who become adventure rank S"
"hmmmmm wait..., 1..2.4..6, that's just 6 if I exclude you what about the other one?"
1 is missing.
"ahh.... the other one she became our spy, she is a spy from our village to scout another country and to watching us the one who goes out from the village, well soon or later we will meet her definitely"
the more I think about our village,
'at this point they have a connection everywhere and maybe back up from another country this is not a village anymore this is.... the Village has already become one big organization in this world. t'
I still wonder what happened to our village for the village to become like that.
