"Calm down Agata"
"Calm down"
While Agata lifts/chokes Alcott with one hand, his teammate tried to calm him down. Agata is really angry he is showing his power to the surrounding, he choked Alcott with his power, his face is really red.
"How can I calm down, that thing he brings it here, that worm killed one of my friends!!"
There should be no casualty at his party because he already protected them. The one he said maybe is someone from the other 8 people who get killed by Maneater Worm. It's not like that they're dead by Maneater Worm, they're killed by Arsya, but someone who got that many Maneater Worm inside their body longer than a minute already considered as dead, there's no salvation for them.
While choked by Agata, Alcott holds his breath as long as he can. He can't breathe normally, his throat has been pressed by Agata's hand.
"Agata stop it!!"
Rudy tried to save Alcott from Agata.
"Did you forget your mission? Your mission in here is to protect him, you're sent by the king of Arugos kingdom to protect him until he got to their home!!! Did you want to break that mission? Are you prepare for your punishment if you killed him?"
Rudy grabs Agata's hand, trying to help Alcott so that he didn't die by Agata. Rudy pointed out what will happen if he kills Alcott.
"guhhhh…."
He groans in pain, Agata then slowly releases his hand from Alcott's neck. If Rudy didn't try to calm him down maybe Alcott will die in Agata's hand.
"Step back Agata, we should hear what Alcott says first, I'm sure there is a reason. And I want to know why he said that flood will come?"
Rudy pointed out a reasonable reason to Agata, he can't refute back to what Rudy said. We still didn't know why he said the flood is coming or why all of his guards had been wiped out, Agata understands the value of the information he tried to lower his anger.
"Then Sir Alcott can you tell me what happens in there"
"ohok…. I will tell it."
He coughed after being choked by Agata. Alcott then begins to explain what happens in that ruin.
"5 days ago, after I and my bodyguard parted with Jade and Galen, we continue our research on the ruin…"
Before Alcott continues his story Agata interrupts him.
"You meet Jade and Galen?"
He asked Alcott about our meeting, but Agata's question is been shut out by Rudy.
"Agata, can you shut up for a second? Let him finish his story first!!"
"He then shut his mouth because Rudy looks pissed off. Rudy trying to cover me and jade, he knew Agata will ask more about our meeting, Rudy afraid that maybe he will have suspicious about us so he shut him up, so that he will not asking about it.
"Please continue Sir Alcott"
"Yes, After we meet we continue our research. We found out there is an underground facility in that ruin we try to go to that underground facility, that underground facility is our objective to investigate that ruin, there are so much book and door in that facility I can read the book since I know some of the ancient languages and that is my expert. When we reach the underground facility our objective is should already be done, but we found that there's another facility in the underground, blinded by our greed we go deep down, and deep down until… we found the gate…".
"Gate?"
I who from earlier only keep silent then feels restless after Alcott said he found the gate. I have a premonition that gate was the one who caused me to refuse Alcott's offer from before…
"Yes, we found the gate, in front of that gate there's an inscription? I don't know what it is, but since I know how to read it I tried to read that inscription it said… can you give me a paper? I will write it."
Alcott then asked Rudy to give him a paper, Rudy then ordered one of the staff to bring him a paper, when they back, they bring out so much paper for him.
"Thank you… this is what is written in that inscription if I'm not wrong"
Alcott then written out what is engraved in the inscription, he tried to remember what it is written in there, he then draws something, we wait until Alcott finished. Not long after that Alcott finished what he's writing.
"This is what is written in that Inscription"
Alcott then showed us the drawing first to us.
The people who have been shown by Alcott can't understand what it is nor, Rudy, Jade, Agata, and Arsya can understand what it is, but of course, I can understand what he tried to draw. The drawing that Alcott showed to us is a symbol, a symbol of biohazard, A skull, and a nuclear symbol. If there's that symbol in the facility it should be a warning like caution or keep out warning.
"I don't know what this symbol means, but we vaguely know that this symbol means is dangerous..."
Alcott continued.
"even if we know what symbol it is we didn't know what it is written in there… and this is what it is written in it"
Alcott then showed us what it is written in there. He showed us the Alphabet from 5000 years ago I can understand what is written in there. At first, I just respond to it normally, but after I see what it is written in the end it shocked me… my eyes open so big after I see it…
"This is what it is written in that inscription…."
"Inside this gate... there is a nightmare from the past. We can't destroy this thing or kill it. In the end, we can only seal it so that the others still remember the terror of that time… for you who found this gate, please just forget this and buried this gate deep, deep, inside ground until there will be no one who can found this gate. No matter what, this gate must be closed until the end of the time. Remember this… if you try to open this gate there will be misfortune befall this world.
-General Andrian, March 1 20XX"
Alcott said it loudly. I can't believe what I see and hear, to think that I will hear Andrian's name again in this situation I'm really surprised, not only me but Rudy, Arsya, and Jade is surprised too, the three of them know Andrian name. He is the founding of our village there is no way they didn't know about him. I don't know why I see or hear Andrian's name in this situation. I don't know what Andrian's doing in 5000 years ago, but I know one thing if that gate is prohibited by him, that's mean that gate is the remains of the war of 5000 years ago. I don't know about that war because his diary is shredded in that part I can't find the answer of the war 5000 years ago.
Even though the four of us were surprised, we try to hide our surprised faces we don't want people to notice our expression. Alcott then continued his explanation.
"Because I understand what that inscription wants to say, we hold our urge to open that gate since it was said as a dangerous gate. But… one of our guards accidentally push a button, I don't know what button is it but that button is lead us to open that gate. And what we found in there… 'gulp'"
I can hear that Alcott swallow down his saliva, he tried to tell us.
"We found a Beast is being locked up in there, I don't know what beast is that I can't find it in the book of monster that I bring. I think that beast is a new type of monster, that Beast is been held down by something like a spear. The first time we saw it we know that thing is something out of this world, that Beast is brings death for anything surrounding it, he brings terror to all of us, we can feel that Beast is very strong… we are afraid of that thing so we want to close the gate immediately but we are too late, that Beast is waking up and rampage. In the end, we can't close that gate, and half of my bodyguard becomes that monster food."
"Then what happens to that beast?"
Asked Agata
"Since we know that monster is too strong for us and we can't defeat it and seal it again, we are separated when Irvin tried to lure that monster to one of the calamity beast, chimera, around that forest."
""ooooo…""
All the adventure made a sound of amazed
"So what happens after that?"
"Chimera got beaten up along with another mythical beast that helping it, and to make it worse… to be honest, I still can't believe what I see, but that monster… that beast is controlling chimera and all the monster around that forest…"
"WHAT?"
"ARE YOU KIDDING?"
All the adventure in the present who heard Alcott's story surprised and make a fuss.
"There's no way that calamity beast can be controlled!!"
"I'm not lying!! I see it with my own eyes!! That beast controlling the monster around him, that beast is too frightening in just in the blink of an eye all monster become his lackey, we can't even scratch him with our best magic. That is the reason why I said the flood will come, I know that beast maybe already gather all the monster in that forest to become his lackey, that beast is defying our common sense!!"
So that the reason, Rudy finally understands why he said that there will be a flood. everyone present could only be silent they're already afraid of what Alcott says if this keeps up the other adventure will make a fuss and if the public hears it, there will be chaos in the city.
To break the silence Rudy then spoke up.
"I see… I understand now. I will be the one who gives the order"
All the eyes stare at Rudy. Rudy then looked at Arsya and the other staff of the guild.
"At this time right now, I declare that this city is in emergency status. Set the emergency status to D3 we will lock down this city, call all of the citizens outside the city to come in, we will evacuate all the people to the second wall. Tell all the adventure in this city to turn on their Adventure Id card to find help. Call the governor and the official of this city we will have a meeting with them, tell them this is an emergency!!"
""We Understand""
All the guild staff answer together.
"And one more thing…"
Rudy then adds something.
"Call the people in the tannen tower to ignite the beacon, set the beacon into three. that beacon if they made it in time, it will be our salvation…"
