Three days pass in the former location of the green valley, atop the mountain of death. There's a strange presence come and never go upon arrival. These presence intensified and multiplied, and one can only imagine how much of terrifying existence has been arrive for three days worth of time!
This time, a woman appear in the entrance, and was accepted the respect brought upon the terrifying creatures that arrive. She never actually paid attention to them, as if they aren't even worth mentioning. There's a hint of complexity in her eyes and she sigh the deepest now and then. Her eyes wander to the covering ashes of the mountain, she smile bitterly as she murmur, "Now that you have gone, no one but myself is a righful owner of the heritage..."
In this three days worth of time, the chaos in the village who have not yet invade by the force of powerful sect is intensified. Eterfinite cross the danger without realizing it. The myterious man secretly follow, and do eliminate the hindrance of this journey. His initial plan is to sent off him immediately but upon pondering the matter, he choose to make this journey slowly.
Eterfinite wouldn't mind the presence of this mysterious man. As long as he won't make him appear as though a foolish who suddenly vanish and to appear out of suddenly to his destination. He well aware of the price of it. That he can't forgive this person if ever, not that he knows how to despise is. He can only forget their existence as if they never even existed to begin with!
This threaths is effective to this mysterious man, and can only felt bitter in his heart. He muttered to himself, "This is why I hate guarding this arrogance existence. He sure knows how to affect me with his silence!"
Around this three days worth of time, Eterfinite notice but hardly understand the brewing coldness he felt as he neared the village. More so when he reach the ancestral house at the heart of the village. He thought, "I wonder what is pretending sister mention about. Is this presence of deadly crisis is the part of it? Do I have to pretend I didn't felt it?"
He pondered a bit and forget the matter. It's true he felt the deadly crisis within the coldness, but this mysterious man is mysterious with a reason. It is a piece of cake for him to scram all the deadly forces around this boy. He said just as he finish warming the ancestral house, "I'll be gone for a week. I hope you'll remain inside and meditate while I'm away."
"Why?" Eterfinite suddenly turn to face the mysterious man, he don't actually mind but it was a bother coming by this person. He felt as though he will gone for good...just like always.
"Not that it's mattered," he murmured and force a smile. "Do whatever you want, don't bother to worry about me. You only make me feel bad..." Not waiting for response, Eterfinite turn away.
The mysterious man left speechless. He silently turn away and don't ponder much about the words he heard. Those are coming by this boy is quite impress him. Just like always, it always makes him feel the need to comeback and secretly guarded him as if it's the purpose of his life.
"The day will come and you will understand," he thought, his heart felt even bitter. "And that day... you will sure to despise how I even remain around you. I ponder and ponder... Until you see the cruel world and I've had the answer myself that I realized..."
The mysterious man vanish as if doesn't even existed in the first place. Only Eterfinite knows he exist, not even the most powerful in this world have realize he appeared once again in this cruel word.
And once again brought... the unexpected.
For whereever he left to, this mysterious man is mysterious with a reason. No one who exist in this current world have known where he appeared after he vanish. Not even Eterfinite has any idea, but he know...it's beyond this world...
"But it is the first time he actually certain and said he's away for only a week," Eterfinite muttered while his mind slowly cleared. "I can't help...but feel the home while waiting for his return..."
Time passed, the sun gone in the sky. The moon can only exist in an incense worth of time before replace and covered by the darkest cloud. Eterfinite suddenly open his eyes and was cut off by his meditation. It was the first time he experience something like this, the force to wake up from his deepest meditation.
He can't help but look up the sky through the open window. "The cloud is part of this world, unlike the Green Valley..." he murmured and pondered everything in his heart. "Is this the reason I was force to wake up?"
The clarity in his face comeback, unlike when he's in meditation, he appeared to be peacefully sleep but there's a hint of involuntary expression. Those expression seem as if manifestation of the fragment in his deepest consciousness, which given him chance to cultivate life force to sustain his life.
Though he's kind of bothered, his expression is calm. He don't believe this darkness will prolong. Or perhaps he can only cultivate now with daylight? That's idea remain in him before he choose to push them away. He get up and feel the fresh air of the night. His hair flow like river and gentle blown by the wind.
Feeling the familiar feeling the wind given him, his mind gives off a sense of clarity. He cultivate enough life force for now, and has a year worth of time to live. "Tomorrow, I'll makes sure it will twice the worth," he said, smiled to free from the feeling that he will die in any moment.
The night is good for him to think about the matter. Now that he knows he can't cultivate in night, an idea came to his mind. But just as he walk away from the ancestral house, away from the warm around the residence that lurking just a kilometer area, the ear-piercing cry numb all ears.
This have been filled the village in quite an hour now, in every time the sun sets for three days, but Eterfinite was so shock by the suddeness that his mind spun and his world go dark...and darker. Right before his vision dim and he felt the ground, his heart tremble with intensity.
There's a call of longing...in every cry.
