Capítulo 4: The Medusa

" Huh .... okay, let me go to sleep. My head is getting dizzy again, I hope I'm not in a different place and not far from home "I hoped. Stepping away leaving them in the room.

What the Moon has asked is a question for all of them. That place, Akurai Village part of Ozima City, was a place they had never been to and no one knew where it was.

Meanwhile, outside the house, darkness still seems to dominate this place. Terrible darkness. Only a torch gives light to illuminate this place. Several guards have been seen in front of the gate and on top of the guard tower. The wind blew coolly, the stars and moon shone brightly in the sky.

A man came out of the house walking towards the village gatekeeper.

"Metue, I want to go for a moment," he said to a man in the guard tower.

A man on top of the tower walked down the stairs, and said: "Where are you going? It's already night. It's very dangerous outside!".

"I have to meet someone outside, he asked me to work for him tonight. The salary is good to pay taxes to the kingdom and support my wife's life.

"Who do you work for? "

"I can't tell you because I don't know his name. But he is a big merchant "

" Well then, I'll open the gates for you and have a good trip ", Metue opened the gates. After leaving the village, Metue again closed and locked the gate.

The man is walking towards the forest, walking in the dark of night. Moonlight cannot penetrate the thick forest. Until whatever he goes through cannot be seen clearly.

Suddenly he heard a woman's voice crying, the voice getting clearer in front. As soon as the moonlight lit his way back, he saw a woman kneeling on the ground. His hands covered his face so that they were difficult to recognize. Walked closer, and grabbed his shoulder. "What's wrong, miss? Why sad?".

The woman continued to cry until spontaneously hugged her body. "Help me!" he whispered in his ear. He released the hug and held the woman's hand. He was shocked and immediately saw the woman's face and his eyes were red scaly snakes. When he wanted to let go of the handgrip, the woman held his hand so tightly that it hurt.

"Good evening sir, thank you for coming for me," he said.

"Who are you?" he answered with a trembling body, he was scared so he asked who this woman was in front of him, she was none other than a medusa.

"I am a person who will soon end the journey of your life. Don't worry I will make it painless for you. My name is Medusa…. "Suddenly the girl turned into Medusa. Looking at the boy's eyes, he immediately turned into stone. A light came out of the man's body which turned into stone and the medusa swallowed him. Then the medusa turned into a beautiful woman. Then she went and let the man become a stone.

Soon the rain fell heavily so that the man who became stone as a result of the medusa's gaze turned into a human again. But he was lifeless.

Because of heavy rain that night, the plants became fertile, the well water filled up. and the residents were so happy to welcome the arrival of the morning. From their joy, a man who was about to go to the garden where he had to pass through the forest shouted.

"Medusa attacks again!" he shouted. All residents gathered to hear the story.

"In the forest, I found Palio's corpse," he said again.

Until grandfather white came, they could be seen talking from a distance. Then they went to the forest and some of them carried a stretcher. Soon they came out of the forest carrying Palio's body. Then bury him. Everyone is increasingly worried about what has happened to his village. But grandfather white and the other young men continue to try to make security to protect the villagers. The

The incident this morning made everyone even more scared but grandfather white and the village youth tried to make the residents calm.

"We will all be safe and fine if we don't leave the village at night. When we go out, we don't have to be alone with our parents or who can protect ourselves by carrying sharp weapons," said Grandpa to the villagers.

One of the residents shouted, "But Grandpa, this is not the first time this has happened. It has been dozens of times that even big traders don't want to come to our village".

"This is our homeland, after all, we have to survive," said Grandpa White.

"There will be no victims if we are always together, do not go alone and leave the village at night" advised Kanzuka.

The longer the conversation heated up, but it died down again when there was no way out of this village other than to survive Medusa's attack. I who pay attention to this incident increasingly understand and the luck that I am here is to have friends who will take care of me. At least when I got lost, I didn't get attacked by Medusa. If attacked, it will end my life like that person.
