Zuko opened his eyes and woke up from sleep in a weak state, his body felt sore even though there was no injury at all.
"Where am I?" he muttered to himself when he found himself asleep in a room that belonged to someone who didn't know.
The roof of the room is made of colored wood
very shiny chocolate, while
The base is also made of wood that is colorful and
the shape is the same, just like the kingdom
his country.
On the walls there are a lot of very beautiful ornaments, with very sturdy walls.
"Master, are you awake?" A waiter came to bring food and drinks on a wooden tray.
"Where am I?" Zuko asked trying to get up from his lie down.
"Don't force it young master, if you are still a little weak," said Emperor Argayasa as he walked into the room where Zuko woke up from his sleep.
Zuko remembered the incident when he fought Medusa, the demon queen who would kill the reincarnation of the Goddess Athena, Freya, the son of the Emperor Argayasa.
"Please eat, sir," a plate of food and drink was placed in front of Zuko, who was sitting limply.
"I'm sorry that I have troubled the Emperor," said Zuko holding his shoulder that felt sore.
It's fine. It's me who is very grateful to young master. Because said young master a week ago, Freya survived the evil demon," said Emperor Argayasa gently.
Zuko was surprised by the Emperor's words, "So you mean the emperor, I fainted for a week?"
"Yes, we were so worried that we invited hundreds of healers to treat young master, but all the healers said that young master would recover and regain consciousness in time," Emperor Argayasa replied as he patted Zuko's shoulder, and gave a smile.
At that time. Freya came and brought the fruits in the basket, "thank goodness you're awake."
Zuko was stunned by Freya's beautiful smiling face, pointed nose, beautiful and white face, and wearing girl clothes kingdom.
"But how come young master suddenly came here?" asked Emperor Argayasa in surprise.
"I just happened to be passing by," answered Zuko who didn't say anything frankly.
Emperor Argayasa was still surprised by Zuko's answer, even though he was also riding a strange creature yesterday, "but didn't young master ride a Pegasus yesterday?"
Before he could answer, suddenly a royal servant called Emperor Argayasa, "Emperor. There is a guest who is looking for master," said the servant with a respectful bow.
"Very well, have the guest wait in the garden," replied Emperor Argayasa as he stood up.
"Yes sir," the servant then walked away leaving the Emperor.
"Freya, help Zuko if he needs anything," the Emperor said to his daughter, then he walked away from the room.
In that room. Zuko is alone only accompanied by Freya, the reincarnated girl of the Goddess Athena who must be protected from Medusa's attack.
Freya sat on the mat, while Zuko sat on the bed. They were facing each other, there was shame on Zuko as the girl's gaze was so sparkling.
"Thank you, you saved me yesterday," said Freya a little embarrassed.
Zuko smiled as he untied his shoulder-length hair tie, "that It is my duty to always protect and look after you."
"What do you mean?" Freya asked while looking at Zuko who was eating a green apple.
"Gosh ..... why did I let go," he muttered in his heart. Zuko looked outside his bedroom door, and there seemed to be no one there either.
"Honestly who are you, and who was the woman with the snake hair yesterday?" asked Freya who was increasingly curious about the events of the terrible war yesterday.
"That demonic woman is Medusa, she wants to harm you, but don't be afraid because I will always take care of you," replied Zuko while continuing to eat the apple in his hand.
Freya looked terrified with a face blushed from hearing the answer from the man in front of him, "does he want to kill me?"
Zuko put the rest of his apples into the empty plate, he looked at Freya's beautiful face which expressed fear of that happening, "as long as I'm alive, that will never happen."
"But why would he want to harm me?"
Because you are the reincarnation of the Goddess
"Athena."
Freya looked even more confused by Zuko's words, her eyes filled with a surprised expression at the words of the man who had helped her.
"I am a prince who was crowned by the god Zeus as a Pegasus Knight," Zuko said in a low voice that only the girl in front of him could hear.
"God Zeus?"
"yeah."
"Who is God Zeus?" asked Freya.
Zuko smiled at Freya's question which looked very innocent, "Goddess Athena is the favorite daughter of God Zeus, but God Zeus can't protect you as the reincarnation of Goddess Athena because of the difference in Dimensions."
"So you mean I'm...."
Before Freya could ask, Zuko answered first, "You are the reincarnation of the Goddess Athena."
Freya lowered her head as if thinking about something, "but why does Medusa want to harm me?"
"Because the Goddess Athena once cursed Medusa for a very shameful mistake. Medusa was a beautiful priest and she had a love affair with God Poseidon at the temple of Athena, until finally the Goddess Athena cursed her into a snake-haired monster," Zuko tells the history of Medusa's story who wants to take revenge.
"And now Medusa is reincarnated as a demon queen after being beheaded by the god Perseus," Zuko looked at Freya who seemed not to understand the swirling words.
"What should I do? I'm so scared of that demon and yesterday he almost stabbed me with a knife," said Freya.
Zuko got off his bed and approached Freya, "trust me, I will always take care of you and make you safe,"
The girl looked at Zuko expectantly, her face seemed to feel calm when Zuko said that.
"Then are you going back to your country?" asked Freya.
Zuko remembered that his kingdom was threatened if Medusa came and attacked him while he was protecting Freya.
When he left the Kingdom. The king of Syailendra, namely his father, always said to return to the kingdom of Syailendra when the mission of the god Zeus had been completed.
But this mission has just begun, but he already misses his country so far in the east.
When he fingered his necklace, "gosh, where's my necklace?"
"You mean the necklace with the winged horse crest?" Freya asked while handing her the necklace which was in her pocket.
Zuko smiled when he found his necklace kept by the girl, "thank you," he put it on again.
"Sorry, but I found the necklace when you fell with your horse, yesterday everyone was looking for your horse to the end of the forest but no one found it," said Freya.
Zuko smiled hearing the girl's words, "of course not everyone will find the horse, because my Pegasus ride is a flying horse created by God Zeus from golden light."
Freya smiled in awe of Zuko's prowess, he was a very handsome man, his face was white, clean, with a sharp nose that would make all women in this world captivated by him.
"And the emblem on this necklace is the Pegasus horse itself."
