“Where are we?” ask Alora curious.
After we all entered the strange door that the little girl told us about, we were in a different place again. We stepped into a very large hall, the hall was filled with ornaments of gold jewelry is very luxurious and magnificent. But the air around was very quiet and gripping. We all looked at each other, confusion and curiosity that enveloped us. We decided to go around looking at the situation around us.
“it feels like we're into a fantasy world tau, like the one in the comic book.” Nyx said, as she touched the gold vase displayed on a small table on the edge of the large hall.
“Nyx, don't go far. Later if why why we are in trouble.” said Koen warned Nyx.
“aish you are like my mother, just relax here no one will.” Nyx smiled widely, not afraid of the circumstances around her.
Koen who heard Nyx's words could only shake his head, I just chuckled softly to hear the two of them. Ah I forgot, I still clasped Neera's hand tightly. I looked at Neera, she was looking up at the huge stairs leading to the top floor. I looked upstairs too, was there something up there? I'm sure there's something up there.
“what if we were in groups now, no one could go far, we don't know what's going on right now. The door that just appeared, the little boy that flew above the air. I wanted to think if this was just a setting, but with the boy who pulled out something as horrible as before it made me think that this was the reality we were dealing with.” Koen spoke to everyone, commemorating one by one.
We all nodded in agreement to Koen, following what he said. Realizing what we had to do, we began inspecting the large hall one by one, looking and looking for clues as to where the key the little girl had told us was. Verna looked up at the ceiling, noticing the beautiful frescoes adorned on it. The koen went towards the large window, revealing a dark exterior full of dead trees. Lyubov who traveled cheerfully to and fro with Vanya looking for clues in various kinds of ornaments displayed there. Nyme who stood alone in the middle thought hard what they would do if they were in this kind of situation. Kasumi and Maemi who are of Japanese descent are looking at the shapes and carvings that are there, the culture from which the ornaments come. Alora stood alone and whined if she was hungry. I was next to Neera.
“do you want to look around like the others?” I asked Neera who had been looking up at the big stairs.
“Alice, I feel like someone is watching us from earlier.” Neera answered with furrowed brows while looking upstairs.
“eh?” is anyone watching us? Wh who? Neera said something like that made me very scared. How I'm not afraid, we're in a very big, dark place, with a gripping aura, and then he says if anyone notices us. Wait a minute, someone is watching us, meaning this place is not quiet, there are still people occupying this place. Which means we can ask where the key for the next door is. Aye!
Alora comes up to me and hugs me, “Alice let's find some food yuk, I'm hungry once.” whine Alora.
“You hungry? Wait a minute I should have one biscuit in my skirt bag.” I reached into my skirt pocket, and found a bag of chocolate-flavored biscuits and gave it to Alora. Throw me in a skirt but there's a pocket, hehehe~.
“Uwahhhh, thank you very much Alice, I love you very much huhuhu.” Alora thanked me, and ate the biscuits I gave her.
A few minutes later. We all regrouped in the middle, giving all our opinions after going around and looking around this large hall, except for one person. I looked to the right and to the left, but I didn't see him everywhere, was he still going around? Others still spoke and gave their own opinions. Fortunately, we can all understand the situation we are in. But….
“umm, where is Nyx?” I finally opened my voice.
We all fell silent. Koen sighed heavily, his legs instantly feeling limp, himself squatting while closing his eyes with his hands. “That damn boy.” Tired. Nyme also shook her head tired when she heard Nyx disappear. Not once did this happen twice, when we had a study tour together at school, Nyx also disappeared into the forest, and we found himself trying to fight the little bear that was there, fighting the little bear using only a tree branch, and finally Koen took Nyx away from the place.
“so, our mission now is to find Nyx first.” Said Koen once again.
“but you know the same, fortunately you are still found out and never managed to disappear from us, you suck so.” Lyubov patted Vanya on the shoulder while chuckling softly.
“Oi!” Vanya looks annoyed when Lyubov taunts her.
“Umm..., I want to tell you something,” Neera said, then everyone turned to Neera, ready to listen to what Neera would say. “there's someone watching us from upstairs. Should we check?”
Something more surprising. Of course I'm not surprised because Neera told me that. Kasumi pointed upstairs looking at Neera, Neera nodding her head, hinting that someone was watching us all from up there.
“should we go up there and find Nyx?” tanya Verna, “we can ask the person up there right.” innocently Verna connect the words earlier.
“but we don't know who this guy is, is he alone or is he in a group. If they are in groups and they are bad people, we shall finish” Maemi replied to Verna's words, she folded her hands and put them in front of her chest.
“there is no harm in trying to ask, or not one of us just asked.” Lyubov gave his opinion, and answered with Vanya cramming Lyubov's head slowly.
“you're stupid or something. If one of us is why? You want responsibility?”
“kan I just give an opinion, how the hell. Don't play dong!”
The debate took place between Lyubov and Vanya. Nyme who has a high posture tries to highlight the debate between the two of them. Lyubov and Vanya looked at each other in annoyance. Koen who saw the debate shook his head again, I did too. So now our first plan is to find the missing Nyx and find the key to the next door.
“Ratuku~ you've arrived.” We were all instantly shocked to get goosebumps when we heard someone's voice from upstairs, the voice of a slightly shrill man. We all fell silent and looked up.
A tall and skinny man stood up gracefully.The shirt he was wearing was white on the right and purple on the left, the sleeves were oversized with white on the left and purple on the right, wearing a long tight skirt was black, and large white wings adorned her back. He let out his voice, calling with the designation ‘Ratu’ towards us. The queen? Wh who? I looked to the right and to the left and saw no one but all of us. The thin man with light purple hair was smiling broadly happily, as if he was happy because he had waited a long time for someone to return to his home.
“ah, I saw you bring your friends also~” the man walked gracefully, the sound of his high heels sounded very clearly among the atmosphere of the room was very quiet. And he stopped in front of Neera.
I'm guarding my position to protect Neera. I immediately hugged Neera tightly and Neera also hugged me tightly behind me, for some reason I was so afraid that Neera would be taken by this skinny man. The man was still smiling at Neera, he took Neera's hand and kissed Neera's back, of course we were more and more surprised by her every move. I could see clearly her wide smile after kissing the back of Neera's hand, she raised her head to look at Neera with a gaze as if Neera was someone very precious to her. I was so scared, my gut feeling said something was wrong here.
The man smiled widely with his tears dripping down.
“I've been waiting hundreds of years for your arrival, my queen~”
