Inside the house, everyone was sitting in their respective places while watching Kelfin and Dad Arelia enter the room. Inside the room, many candles were seen hanging like a quite magnificent house with dark surroundings and only lit by candles.
At the long table, the village chief sat at the very end holding the kelfin sharply. And it feels like the atmosphere inside there is very high-pressure. All looked serious.
"No need to be stiff like that, let's sit down..." The village chief's mother said.
Arelia's father smiled while patting Kelfin on the shoulder, as a sign to tell him to sit down as well.
"Kelfin.... "
"Do you know the reason you were called here?"
"I guess... Is it because of that statue?" said Kelfin.
Everything became quiet for a moment...
"What do you remember from that incident?"
"Did you kill her?"
"But if it is true, then punishment for you..."
But suddenly their conversation was cut short.
"Sorry in advance... My daughter and I were there at the time, and all we saw was kelfin and nothing else."
"It is impossible that he did destroy it or even that maybe he was the victim of all this, so the village chief please be wiser" (looking at the village chief).
"Is that so... (staring back)."
"Whether he was involved or victimized, but that doesn't change the fact that he was there," said one of the officials.
"Yes, you are right, and according to the rules, he must be..." said one of the other officials.
"But... we all know without the Holy Land's guardian, Astria. Then it will surely approach to move towards the kingdom and the entrance to it must be through the territory of our village." The village chief said.
The village chief walked towards Kelfin, with his high charisma making his own pressure for Kelfin. But suddenly...
"Village chief, I ask you please don't be so urgent and accuse Kelfin, let's re-check, so please give him a chance." Arelia's father stood up while hitting the table.
"Hemmhh" the village chief turned his body around and returned to his seat.
"It's already... Let's drink the drink first," said the village chief's mother who appeared.
"Also, you haven't been home to see your parents for a long time, so don't be too serious about your father."
Arelia's father was just silent.
The village chief's mother just smiled and left after delivering the drink, returning to the room full of darkness.

While in other places,
Under the village chief's house, in a place quite deep in the land, many people became hostages. They are all locked up in a place very similar to a cell-cell.
Suddenly,
"Huahhh.... Hah.. Hah... (breath)."
"Where is this.... Heh.. (her eyes enlarged in shock)."
"do not look..." quickly closed his eyes.
There was an old woman's voice... told him gently.
"But... that.... she asking why (in a frightened voice)."
"No, it's okay, you're safe here with me"
"I will be by your side, so may this old lady know your name"
While saying that the old lady touch her hair.
With her face still scared, she tried to calm down. It was dark inside and the eyes couldn't look up.
"Anne..." She started crying in the old grandmother's arms.
"What a beautiful name... your name has the same prefix as my granddaughter, Arelia"

While in other places, in the western area of the village. Ambert was running fast enough through several houses looking for Anne and Kelfin. Passage after Passage.
"Damn, where are they? I have to hurry up...."
"Completely... ring the village bell, it's an emergency..."
Everyone could only look at the panicked ambert himself.
"Everyone look towards the forest, terror will happen again!"
Everyone looked in the direction Ambert was pointing and instantly everyone panicked. They ran away, some went home, some prepared with their weapons, some were summoning troops. And there was one man wearing a coat leaving after hearing from the ambert, seen between his left holding a sword.
Ambert ran again after everyone came to his senses. At full speed she ran as fast as he could.
With an axe on his shoulder it didn't hinder him. She's a tough woman.
"Fortunately, the plain of our house is quite high..."
Flashback
(Earlier at home, Ambert wanted to go looking for Kelfin and Anne. Locy pointed towards the forest and asked Ambert what it was? Thanks to that Ambet became aware.)
Back to the running ambert,
She hoped they were both okay, but that wasn't what to worried about, because from there when she looked up at the sky.
At the outer southern end of the village, in the forest place, many strange things can be seen moving. There was one figure flying between it all.
"Could it be that... Damn, if it is true, then the conditions of the village are already very dangerous."
...
...
...
While in Arelia's place,
She walked on the tree-lined path around him. Armed with a wooden torch, walk alone in the dark of night.
"La... La... la...., should they have taken it out? Usually I would be disturbed when I came home from grandma's house. But where is it? Are they so scared because my crystal shines bright enough?"
Usually in the village, there are creatures that often go out in the middle of the night to eat and prey on the residents, but they have one weakness, namely the guardian crystal. They can't get close as long as it exists.
And without him knowing it there was another figure watching him from above the sky.

While in the west of the village, the border of the end of the forest, in the darkness many strange things are walking in the dark. Some are riding horses, and some are hovering while carrying sickles.
