The next morning, Losa could feel the pain all over her body. It was as if she had been crippled and bruised. She could barely move her whole body. It was like she was beaten by twelve people.
She lay down several times, every time she tried to get out of her bed. Losa seems to be able to urinate without knowing it. She could no longer understand herself.
Her hips and knees hurt. Even her legs and arms. Not only that but her hands and feet too. Her whole body ached. . . she seemed paralyzed.
What will she do now with her mother when she sees her being beaten?
Less than a second later, she heard a few knocks on the door. She was suddenly confused. She's sure that's her mom! She forced herself to stand but she really could not. Losa froze as she tried to stand up again.
"Daughter ?! What's going on there? " She heard her mother asked outside when she heard her scream.
Fortunately, she locked it last night.
She was lying down when her window suddenly opened. Losa looked over there and she could see Raven how it came in from there.
"Losa ?!" Her mom called her outside again.
She looked at Raven in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" she asked in a whisper.
Raven shrugged and approached her.
"Tell her you feel bad so you can't go today."
Her eyes widened. "What? Mama is even more worried. She still has no rest and sleep. I do not want to add to her problem. "
Losa thought and raised her hand in the air.
"What are you planning?" she frowned at Raven's gesture.
"I will just put your mother to sleep. That is the easy thing to do so that you do not have to worry about him anymore, " Raven said with a wave of his hand.
Two crows entered her room and Raven talked to him. She frowned because she could not even hear what he whispered to the two blackbirds.
Soon it flew out of her room through the window.
Next came three crows that flew above her and circled. In a few minutes, a cloud of black smoke came out of the body of the three birds into his body. When the black smoke hit Losa, she felt nothing else. She even felt relieved.
She stared at Raven as he moved toward the door of her room.
"What will you do? Mom will see you! " she shouted.
Raven opened the door and did not listen to her. She saw her mother unconscious outside and she was sleeping soundly.
To Losa's surprise, she suddenly stood up. She was so shocked when she no longer felt pain all over her body. The paralysis of her body was gone. She can move her hands and feet. Even her whole body was free to move.
She sighed in shock. She alternately looked at the three crows flying as she stared at them, and at Raven who now lifted her mother.
Losa stopped walking when she heard a faint voice like a child. She turned to the three crows.
"Dear princess, let the dear prince take care of everything. Please rest first because later you will rehearse again. "
Losa's forehead furrowed. She could not believe these three blackbirds were talking!
"What. . . "
"You can left, thank you for your help. Look around. When you notice something strange and feel imminent danger, tell me immediately, " said Raven as he walked closer to her seat.
The three crows immediately flew out of the room.
Losa still could not speak as her gaze followed the three crows. What just happened? Did all this happen to her? Didn't she just dream? She felt as if she was going crazy with what was happening.
What else will she witness? Except for the giants, the cursed palace, this Raven man, the black smoke, her burning hand, and the raven speaking?
"I do not want anymore. . . I'm going crazy! " she screamed while tweaking her hair.
Losa glared at Raven.
"Where is Mama?" she asked immediately.
Raven held her in his arms. Her jaw tightened as she looked at the man's face.
She averted her eyes.
She was uncomfortable with what was happening.
She was not accustomed to such an event. She innovates in events.
"What is your problem? What do you say you don't want anymore? Where? Will you give up right away? " There was a blade in Raven's eyes when he said that.
Gradually his eyes turned red as his grip tightened on Losa's arm.
She backed away.
Her chest throbbed as she could not take her eyes off the man.
In a flash, she suddenly felt scared. Raven doesn't seem to know who is in front of her now.
"Raven. . . I'm hurting."
Raven's teeth gritted. No one seems to hear or feel. His eyes are very red as it gradually grows feathers all over its body.
Will the man look like a crow at these times?
"When I said—" she did not continue to say when suddenly black smoke hit it causing it to lose consciousness.
Losa looked at the source of the smoke and saw at the window the woman with the black wings in the back.
Her eyes widened. Another creature has arrived! What else will she see?
Her face is hairy even its arms and legs. It has black wings on the back and its mouth looks like a crow. Its eyes are black with a slight reddish tinge. A crow!
That creature suddenly entered her room and picked up Raven. She restrained it by pulling Raven towards him.
"What do you think you are doing?" Losa asked the female crow who she did not know. "And who are you?" she added.
"I just need to cool the head of the dear prince, dear princess. . . if I hadn't done that he might have killed you. The curse of the sorcerer is upon him whenever he is angry or disgusted with something. "
The creature grabbed her by the shoulder and stared at her. "Come with me, dear princess. . . I will rehearse with you first until the dear prince is unconscious. . . I am Itima. . . the guard of the crows in the air and one of the warriors of the Black Palace. "
Losa stared at it and did not speak again. No matter what she asks, she still does not understand everything that is happening.
It pulled her out the window. Losa even cried out when she realized they would fall at their sharp and high gate. The three of them stung when they fell there. But she was mistaken when black smoke joined them.
"Do not be afraid dear princess. . . you will witness many more that are new in your sight. Worse than this. "
Losa's jaw almost dropped at what she heard. What will meet her again that is new in her sight?
She could not control her dizziness when she was overwhelmed at the height of their whereabouts.
She collapsed next to Raven who was also unconscious.
ITIMA shuddered when she saw Losa fall unconscious next to the dear prince.
Fortunately, she felt the black magic coming from Raven's body. Otherwise it might have killed the dear princess Losa with her own hands.
She stared at the two. Itima does not know how many more steps they will take to succeed. It will take another long time, she is sure. She waved her hand and it formed a tunnel into her den. The kingdom of crows.
Just as they were about to enter, the disciples of the raven met him as they were crowing. . . even Raven and Jing of them.
"Take care of the dear princess and the dear prince. . . I will fix their rehearsal first. You take care of them first, " she ordered them before boarding the black smoke again and flying.
The crows, on the other hand, talked and helped lift the two to the glowing black bed inside their nest.
