Ten seconds have passed. A teleportation Sigel pop up at the west veranda of an east castle. Tyas peeps out from thin air and looks around just like a schoolgirl will cheat on an exam.
"No One around. It's safe." Tyas releases a breath a sigh of relief. Then she jumps out the sigil carrying a child she saved.
Tap!
A palm tap her shoulder from her back.
"Eeeck!" She screams shakily. Her voice sounds like a squeaking little mouse.
"It's over. I've been caught. Papas must be angry." She said inwardly.
"Where Are you come from, little missy?"
"Did I had to tell you to stay here?"
Tyas face turn into a pale. She saw both of her papas getting upset and ready to scold her.
"I'm Sorry, Papa. I know I was wrong." She cried while kneeling down. And her tears flowing down, "Uwaaaa...." She cries relentlessly.
Meyrlion release a heavy sigh.
His anger had receded.
Jack ignites a clove cigarette, inhaling for a moment and then blowing the smoke away.
"It's Good that you understood you are wrong. Now tell us what kind of fault did you have done?"
"Hiks, I should obey you do not leave this place.. Hiks,"
"Did you understand why we forbid you to leave?"
"Hiks,.. because it's dangerous. Uwaaaa..."
"We Love you, child. And we were worry of your safety. We do not one something bad happened to you."
"Hiks, I'm sorry papa."
Jack squats down and strokes her hair. "We Are upset because we are worried about you. We won't be upset if it's some else, not our precious child."
"You should remember now, okay? You should obey what your parent said. Because they are the most loving and caring person for you in this world. ,"
"Hiks," Tyas nod while wiping her teary eyes.
"Stop Your sob. And tell us, who is he, the one you bring here?"
Meyrlion asked with a smile as sweet as possible.
Sob! Sniff!
"Hiks, I save him. They almost kill him. Hiks" Tyas answered while trying to stop her tears.
"Who Are 'they'?"
"Hiks, they are the bad person in uniform. Hiks, they attack us using a fireball. They are baddies which papa Myerlion able to locate them using magic. Hiks.
"Ouw, I see," Myerlion somehow understood. "Seems Like they want to sacrifice him for wicked ritual, black magic to kill the King."
Meyrlion took a step closer to that boy.
But that boy put a step backward.
"Don't hit me." That boy looks scared and starts to sob. He appears in the age of five or four. He wore a tattered shirt that had torn. His body is full of bruises and looks malnutrition.
"No one will hit you. You are safe here. Who are you?" Meyrlion asked. He reached his hand out, tried to stroke the boy. But the boy avoided him. His body trembled.
"Do Not worry. I just try to heal you." Meyrlion smiled. He squats down.
"Did you feel hurt here?"
That boy nods.
"I can remove the hurt. Do you want me to do it for you ?"
That boy nod. His teary eyes start to shed a tear.
"I will heal you. Look!"
This kind of wound and bleed is nothing for a mage as level as Meyrlion. Glowing greenish energy emitted from his hands and envelopes the wounded part.
"Is it still hurt?"
That boy shakes his head.
"Do You had another hurt?"
That boy nods. He points out some parts of his body. Seems like he had received some pretty badly beaten up.
"Relax, I'll heal you." Meyrlion smile. "My name is Myerlion. Who's your name?"
"Sagala." That boy answered him.
"That is a good name," Meyrlion said while keep healing him.
"Did your parents give you that name ?"
Sagala nods.
"I can take you to your papa and mama. Where are they ?"
Sagala shakes his head. His body trembled.
"Did I hurt you? Which part of your body is getting hurt ?"
Sagala shakes his head again. He starts to sob.
"Boys don't cry, right ?" Meyrlion smile while winks at him.
Sagala nods while trying to hold his tear and his snot.
"Good boy. Remember, boys don't cry, right? Now, where is your mama-papa ?"
Sagala points his finger up to the sky. Then he dropped his head. Everyone knows he's trying to hold tears.
Jack could not stand the shock in his heart. That boy is resembling him when he was a child. Alone in this world without none care. A small head infiltrates his hand. It's Tyas. She seems to sense the change inside his heart. A big hole of sorrow hidden deep has reopened.
She hugs the tremble Jack full of empathy.
Jack stroked hair with a smile. "Thank you, child." His wound seems to cease to open.
Tyas smiles and then hide her face into Jack's arm.
"Boys don't cry, right? Your mama-papa will be so sad if you cry. You don't want to see them sad, do you?"
Sagala shakes his head while still hung his.
"Do you want to see them smile ?"
Sagala nods. He lifted his face while covering it with his palms.
"I do want to see both of my parent smiles." Meyrlion smile while winks at him.
"My father has long gone. He dies in war. But I still have a mother. Soon you will meet her. Do you want to meet my mother ?"
Sagala nods.
"She's usually busy, but I guess she will be okay."
Zwiiiing !
Lucky, Jack still catches in a glimpse, cursed fireball attack had started their third wave attack, crossing the night sky.
"Brother, another fireball is getting closer."
"Let me finish my job first, child." Meyrlion gets ready soon. His index finger raises and pointed to that object.
"Disintegrated!" Meyrlion whispers.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Another thunderous roar echoed, everyone threw off back because of the explosion.
A magical teleportation circle of light suddenly appears out of nowhere.
"Tyas, be a good girl, stay with Papa Myerlion, all right? Let me handle this. Brother, give me a longer chance, make it 30 seconds." Jack put a step into the circle.
"I take my leave now." He said, while unseated his two Berettas. Both of his hands are presenting a pistol each. Then he vanishes without a trace.
A moment later, sixty thunderous roars echoed from afar. Someone has gone berserk with his guns.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! BANG!
#"Sagala" means a man who has everything, taken from Batak words.
