Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
15: MAYBE A VACATION? BAG 2

COULD YOU SAY VACATION? BAG2

While carrying Indra's groceries a little hassle through the thick snow that covers the ground. Plus around the castle the blizzard from the Avalance curse adds to the challenge of trying to enter it. The night was late, the stars shining brightly in the sky accompanied the dimness of the moon.

At Avalance Castle, Indra is greeted by Avalance's servants. However, because it was too late Indra did not have time to come to dinner. Fortunately the waiters invited Indra to dinner in the kitchen. 

The kitchen was filled with hundreds of Avalance maids who looked extremely exhausted.

That place was beyond Indra's expectations. The kitchen was even bigger than the Bounty Store in the East. Hundreds of waiters filled the table there while enjoying their food and unwind. The servants seemed to only be able to rest at a time when Avalance was also at leisure.

"So you guys have dinner at this place .. It's worth it at dinner or breakfast I always see you guys stay on duty" Indra said looking at the situation.

The waiter who delivered it earlier also brought back a tray containing several meat dishes that look delicious. 

"Do you want this food to be brought to your room?" Ask one of the servants.

"Ah .. not necessary. I eat here" replied Indra.

"You sure? The air in this place is very stuffy" said the waiter.

Indra nodded and immediately greeted the food from the servant's hand. Indra then looked for an empty seat and found one in the corner.

The food served to the waiters was as delicious as the food served at dinner with Avalance.

This made Indra even more convinced that Avalance was an extraordinary leader. Although he looked very lonely as his curse prevented ordinary people from approaching him outdoors.

The Avalance Curse doesn't seem to apply in the room. His curse came down from the clouds just like Indra's lightning. However, the difference was that Avalance could not control it.

After finishing his meal Indra intended to go to his room. However, in the middle of the road he changes his mind and decides to go to Misha and Miller's place.

Indra went to Miller's room and it didn't seem like anyone. He assumes Miller is in Misha's room so he goes to Misha's room. However, it's the same. Misha wasn't there either.

The two people seemed to be alone in the room if there was Indra around.

Indra is confused where to go. After thinking for a while. He finally decided to go back to his room first to put his luggage and then went back to go for a walk in the castle.

Indra remembered that the stars of the night looked very beautiful on his way home. He wanted to see her again.

He went through all the corners of the castle. He asked a servant there about a place to see the stars in the sky.

"Ah. if you are looking for a place like that maybe the watchtower is the best place. Take it easy, before midnight the guards have not come" said the waiter.

Indra immediately went to one of the guard towers. The tower is attached to the four corners of the castle. Indra climbed one of them, on top of which he sat while enjoying the beautiful view of the sky.

Although the cold and snow of the Avalance curse continued to rain down on the castle, Indra was too busy looking at the stars. The stars reminded him of Luzin, Indra seemed to miss the figure of his Master very much.

"The Moon God? I was wondering, do you really live on the Moon, Luzin?" Indra spoke to herself while still sitting staring at the dim shining moon.

After he remembered again, only Luzin Lah taught him how to survive before he met Bella and the others.

The night is getting late. However, Indra was still not satisfied staring at those stars in the sky. But, his sleepiness said another.

"Think of it, the holidays are not that bad" Indra said as she yawned and intended to return to her room.

However, at a glance he was like seeing a person in the tower that was right beside the tower Indra. Indra listened carefully. The voice sounded clear like the voice of Miller and Misha, the two friends must be friendly there.

"Whatever it is I feel ostracized .. Am I looking for a friend just now? They have clearly forgotten friends" Indra said, shaking her head and looking at Misha and Miller, who seemed to be engrossed in their own world, even they did not see Indra who was beside their tower, although Indra was initially also unconscious.

How many steps after he wanted to go to his room, Indra thought of an idea to judge his two friends. Intending to strike the watchtower with his lightning bolt, Indra can do this without Miller or Misha's suspicion because the sky is full of clouds that bring down Avalance's snow.

The lightning immediately grabbed the roof of the tower with a loud rumble. The whole castle shook even though the lightning was not designed as an attack. However, his roar had definitely awakened anyone in the Castle, not least Avalance.

Miller and Misha cried out in shock at the sound and the lightning strike. Indra laughed at their voices, not wanting to be caught off guard Indra immediately ran down from the tower.

Indra ran in a passageway where in the hallway also Avalance stood to intercept him. Avalance stood there wearing white pajamas with a snow crab motif on his shirt and his hair was disheveled. Despite looking like a sleeping young man in the home of his friends, Avalance is still an old man who is almost over 150 years old.

"You're looking happy" Avalance said.

Indra stuttered in nervousness as she was about to answer Avalance.

"I've heard that voice 2 times today, Indra. Can you explain it?" Avalance.

"i-it, anu.. ah! I have no logical reason. All right, I'll be honest. I'm just trying to get rid of Miller and Misha" Miller replied.

"It seems, you do look like your father" said Avalance with a look of sadness on his face.

"sorry. I only remember my past" continued Avalance.

Seeing the look on Avalance's face, Indra felt like comforting her a little.

"I know you've always been lonely, Avalance. Uh, no. I mean. Uncle" said Indra smiling.

"Although not as long as you, I also had a lonely time in the middle of the desert or on a cliff while eating lizards" continued Indra.

"They're both part of the people who fill my loneliness. Maybe the loneliness I experience is not comparable to you. But that doesn't mean you have to be lonely forever. Maybe the people who have shared good memories with you are gone, but that does not mean they want you to be lonely after their departure" Indra continued.

Avalance put on a face of not understanding.

"Why do you suddenly say that? However, you do have a point" Avalance replied.

"However, there aren't many who want to hang out with me - everyone thinks of me as someone of a higher degree" Avalance continued.

"You already have three people who want to hang out with you" said Indra.

Avalance smiled slightly. It was the first time Indra had seen him because Avalance had never put on much expression before.

"Thank you" Avalance said with a small smile.

Indra was a little surprised to see Avalance who had never seen a smile finally showed her smile, even just a little.

"Are you just smiling?" Indra asked who was still carefully watching Avalance's face.

"No" said Avalance who immediately wiped his smile.

"Here you go, I suggest you go to sleep" continued Avalance who immediately walked back to his room.

"Alright, it's time to rest and prepare to enjoy the rest of my vacation tomorrow" said Indra.
