Chapter 4: Chapter 04. Confusion
Two souls from different worlds at the same time enter the spatial dimension, a space that is not affected by time, a place for the soul to make choices. Choose to be born again and forget everything that happened during her life or choose to disappear and become nothing.
One soul during her life has a strong desire to live freely but ends in betrayal, while the other soul does not dare to live, remembering the torments she suffered during her life but at the same time afraid to disappear.
The two souls seemed to attract each other, revolving around each other, slowly but surely each of their lifelong memories transmitted to each other, merging. One soul complements the other. Yes, two souls who finally fused. Leaving behind a trail of starlight that slowly disappeared. They disappeared.
***
Suddenly in shock, her eyes were wide open, her breath was out of breath as if just a moment ago someone had seized her soul. Her whole body was drenched in sweat. It was as if she had just woken up from a very long nightmare
Trying to understand what happened to her, but not finding the results she wanted, just feeling that something was out of place.
Slowly looking around found only a rotten wooden wall as far as her eyes could see. Her mind became confused.
"Whar ... where is this?"
Her last memory is clear, she was in the restaurant, took poison for herself, then fell and passed out.
"How can?"
"How does ingesting poison make a person move?"
"Is a dream?"
Tried moving her hand to pinch herself but failed.
"Aarrgghhh ... ssshhhhh," as well as an intense feeling of pain flooded through her body, explaining that this was not a dream at all, finding herself covered in wounds with ... hands and feet tied?
"And what clothes am I wearing?" Glancing at the dress worn, torn with changing colors.
"Why do you bother torturing me after giving me poison?"
"That's bitch! Why not just kill me right away, is the poison not working the way it wants?"
"Hah. I really can't believe I can survive that poison."
Thinking of all that happened made her head flutter in pain.
"But what does killing me have to do with changing my clothes? These clothes really??? ... Arghhhhh,"
She couldn't stop thinking. Why do women like to wear something that restricts their movement? it's so weird. Skirts, dresses, high heels are very troublesome for her. And the thing she hates the most is now attached to her body.
Lost in the various questions in her mind, faintly heard from in front of several footsteps… horse? And the sound was getting clearer indicating that several horses were approaching her.
Feeling her head growing heavier due to the terror of her thoughts, she chose to close her eyes, lowering her head, as if she had lost consciousness.
With the sound of the door squeaking open, several people dressed as royal soldiers entered, standing observing in front of the girl.
"Hey .. look she's still alive!" said someone who watched the up and down movement in the chest of the girl in front of him.
"I never thought she would survive, even though it's been a week since we haven't fed and drunk and left her here," one of them responded.
'Ehh ... Not a horse? Do these people drive it?' still with her eyes closed and head bowed silently assessing the person in front of her. She couldn't stop thinking that in modern times like this, there are still people who use horses as vehicles.
"Stop babbling. Have you forgotten Your Majesty's orders?" Someone of them reminds them of their main goal.
"But… she's still alive, or should we end it now? Considering that her Majesty only ordered us to dispose of her remains from the royal city? Seeing her still breathing makes me doubt," answered one of them.
Those who came were some of the Zu royal guard soldiers, they were assigned to dispose of the body of a traitor's daughter from the city so that the royal city would not be contaminated by it.
No one thought the girl was still alive.
Hearing that conversation made the girl's brows furrow thinly.
'Are they talking about me? Why is their language so strange? '
'Your Excellency'
'Kingdom?'
'Hahh ... Did my uncle go crazy after his assassination plan didn't work out?'
Various arguments popped into her mind, the feeling was really funny.
'Hey... I got hurt here, just kill me. Stop rambling on, are you guys shooting a royal colossal drama film? How stupid?' She wanted to feel like she was shouting all those lines but couldn't, her voice choked up. At that moment she realized that her throat was very dry.
"No need to go that far, we just need to take her away from here, just look at her condition, with very weak breath and wounds all over her body, you think she can last much longer," said someone patronizing., stepped closer to the girl.
"Very well, I agree with your opinion." others began to follow.
"First we pull the rope around her body, then transfer her to the carriage."
.
.
.
While releasing the rope on the girl's body, a thought came to the mind of one of them.
"But where are we taking her? I don't know where to take her."
"Her Majesty ordered us to take her to the forbidden forest, let her become animal food there."
"Fo..fo.. forbidden forest?" asked someone who wanted to confirm something he heard by putting on a bad expression.
"Take it easy, we just need to put the body on the edge of the forest, don't be afraid," he said again trying to calm his friends.
Her body slowly lifted, the pain in her body became clearer as a result of the friction from the few people who lifted her.
Another thing that she never understood was, how she was able to get wounds engraved all over her body, while in her last memory she lost consciousness in a restaurant because of the poison in her body as if she had lived until then.
Hearing them speak just a moment ago let the girl know one thing.
She will be taken away from this place and that is the forbidden forest.
Somewhere hearing only her name made her feel even worse.
Chapter 5: Chapter 05. Forbidden Forest
In the afternoon they left the hut.
The orange light of the evening sun peeked through the leaves, not dazzling, looking so graceful and captivating to the eye. A gentle breeze blew with the distinctive aroma of forest plants. On the left and right, the trees stood majestically and towering high.
A horse-drawn carriage with several bodyguards combed the depths of the forest. Even though they were in the middle of the forest, they still occasionally met some of the inhabitants of the Zu kingdom, bringing firewood, fruit, or some of their prey. If previously said that the Zu kingdom was a kingdom that had abundant resources, then this forest was one of the causes. The forest is still within the territory of the Zu kingdom.
Lying weakly in a train carriage that was moving forward, the ups and downs were irregular due to the uneven ground texture with several veins from various large trees sometimes appearing on the surface. Trying to look around from the gaps in the carriage that she could reach. Even though the area she could see was very small, it was enough to tell her that they were now in the middle of the forest. Seeing several people riding horses beside the carriage, her brows furrowed.
'What's with these people, why are their clothes so weird?'
Drowning again in confusion, questions that had never met enlightenment before, now what was being witnessed around her made her head want to break.
Moving deeper into the forest, there were no more inhabitants like the ones they had encountered before, no more beautiful twilight light. It's lonely like there's no life around here.
A few moments passed, the horse-drawn carriage suddenly stopped moving, several soldiers walked to the side of the carriage, opening the carriage showed a weak lying the girl, even moving is very difficult. Several soldiers carried the girl, walked a few meters from the carriage, heartlessly threw her body away, and left her lying on the ground then turned around and started to leave.
It was night, the light of the full moon was shining very brightly. And here was the girl, lying frail with her body covered in wounds on the edge of the forbidden forest, on the ground covered in the sky. The previously warm air slowly turned cold, making the wound even more painful, with the whole body also shivering. How could I not, her body which only wore thin and torn clothes with a blooming red stain that filled her clothes added a very sad impression.
Slowly opening her eyes, with the help of the moonlight trying to observe the surroundings. It was so lonely, lonely. There were no nocturnal animal sounds that should have been heard, nor was there the sound of gurgling leaves in the wind, like something that generally happens in the forest. It was very strange to her as if all of them were afraid of something. If she remembered clearly, in her lifetime she had never heard of a forest like this.
A thought suddenly appeared in her mind, in a lying position she sharpened her eyesight, concentrated all the remaining energy in her body into her eyes, hoping to see the things around her without a hitch, but in the end, nothing happened, everything that appeared before her eyes was not. something has changed.
Tried a second time, but the result was the same. That's nil.
"No, no! This doesn't work." Choosing to throw away her thoughts about using one of her abilities thinking that it was useless because the energy in her body was very weak, let alone using that ability, just a few moments ago when those people in strange clothes started carrying her, she tried many times wanting to rebel and free self but failed, who couldn't even move her body the slightest.
The drop in temperature around her made her breathing even heavier, it was very cold, chilling to the bone.
"Why is my life so miserable, isn't it enough for me to feel the feeling of dying a second time?"
Her gaze began to blur, she slowly closed her eyes, choosing to give up on her condition. Because she firmly believed, that this time she would end.
Lying in despair, thinking about everything that happened in her life, grain after grain of water fell from her closed pupils, soaking the ground that might have been her last bed.

"Am I the only one who feels it?" Asked a man who had a black mane, in a slightly whispered voice but still able to break the silence.
"What?" Turning to the side to see his friend who was sitting in the branch of a tree, the man with the white mane responded seriously.
"Human scent!"
"Ahh, I also vaguely feel it, thinking my nose is problematic so I don't pay attention," replied the man with the white mane.
"So?" With a look full of intent, the man with the black mane asked again.
"So what? It's just the human race, extremely weak creatures, you ... Don't think of causing trouble," he replied coldly.
"I just want to see it. Can't you ??" The response again with a teasing face
"Have you forgotten the rules of this world?"
The white man reminded him.
"Yes .. yes .. yes .. our nation may not appear before humans," he replied with a tone of scorn.
"Then, are you tired of living? Maybe I should know, Your Majesty, that one of his loyal bodyguards is very interested in humans."
The smile on his lips tightened "Oh .. no .. no .. no, Momo. Come on, this is taking a long time, I'm just wondering what kind of human would dare to enter this very dangerous forest." The black-haired man returned with an expression of love.
"Once again you call me by that name, I'll break your neck!" threatened the man with the white mane, he could not understand where and the information got that disgusting name for him.
"Ahh yes, my honorable lord, so how? We can hide so as not to be seen by them after all our task has been completed, there is still enough time. I think you are also curious," he said, smiling ignorantly.
"Ahhh up to you!" chose to surrender, the man with the white mane was his blessing for the restriction of the disgusting whining of the person beside him.
"Thank you, my dear friend," he said the seductively black mane.
"Dear your ass."
