The situation became silent for a while. Many kind of feels and thoughts were lingering in the air. This was the first time they saw human, and the first time they killed human. All started and ended in one short night. So much happened, so little time to understand it.
Shanti finished her duty. She's back and approached Yana.
"anything else should we do, sir Yana?"
"no. That's all of it. I believe everyone need rest now"
"understood" Shanti nodded
Yana turned around at villagers.
"everyone! I'm really appreciated your help! thank you"
"please savior! we are the one that needed to thank you" all of them showed their gratitude
"rest well tonight! I guarantee there's nothing will happen until tomorrow!"
They were really glad to hear that from their savior. That's really meant something for them. Some of them showed an emotional expression, and the others were really happy this war thing was over. They started back to the village.
"fuuaaahh! finally it's over!" Barry stretched his body
"a little rest will do for me" the elder tapped his back with his hand
All of them were back to the village. People stayed at their home. Small light could be seen from the several houses, and the others were dark. Yana arrived at the center of the village.
"you can rest at my house savior" the elder gave his suggestion
"sure. Thank you" Yana walked with the elder
"..."
Yana turned around at Shanti.
"good work for today Shanti. You should get rest"
"... I will, sir Yana" Shanti replied it with some delay
Yana and the elder left the place.
Shanti walked to the well that was located near that area. She took the bucket, threw it and pulled it back. She dipped her hand in the water. It felt really cold and refreshing at the same time.
-cpyuk-
The water made some noise when it touched Shanti's face. Her wolf ears were moved back and forth caused of the cold sensation that were given by the water.
-fuuh-
She let out a small breath. It became a white smoke in that cold air. She let the water dropped from her face and made her clothes a little wet.
"...haah.. what am I thinking just now...." Her eyes were not so focused
She stood there for a few minutes before she finally got back to her house.
The elder opened the door and led his savior to his room. He brought him to the second floor and showed him the room.
-krieet-
"here it is savior. I'm sorry if it doesn't meet your expectation"
"don't worry. Everything is fine"
"well then.. I'll take my leave" the elder bowed and closed the door
Yana took of his jacket and his uniform. A sturdy and well built muscle could be seen through his shirt. Clearly, he knew how to handle himself.
He sat on the bed. A light source came from several candles on the table near his bed. He took a few minutes to let all the informations that he got from this day sipped into his mind.
-fuuh- he took a deep breath before he put off the light.
He lay on the bed and closed his eyes. A calm and quiet night made him easier to rest. Just in a few minutes, he already fell asleep.
....
....
[as expected from you, pass that war like it's nothing]
Yana heard a voice. He opened his eyes.
"I've already said. For starting point, that's too easy"
[ahahaha, well.. I promised you, thing will get harder from here]
"... I see"
[well, I just want to say that. Really great result. I'm counting on you]
"got it...tho it will be nice if you can show yourself"
[hmmm, maybe next time. When you showed me another excellent result]
"..."
[well then! see you next time the chosen savior!]
Yana's surrounding became dark and he lost his consciousness.
This time, he was really asleep.
