Quin was still crying, not realizing how long he had been in the soft arms of the goddess Thike. His heart was broken watching the death of his father and brother. Quin was eager to tightly hug his father's body. He wanted to say a million words of affection to his father and brother. He still wants to be spoiled, and take care of the only parents and older brother he has.
During his life, although Quin was often used as gossip because he had a mediocre brain by nobles, but he did not care, because there was always a father and his brother who received it wholeheartedly. There was never any anger or clashing when he failed the academy examination. In his life he always tried to be a good son and sister.
Now, everything is gone, everything is broken. Had he been given one more chance to live, he would have strived to be a more useful son and sister and gone to great lengths to protect his loved ones.
“Cry Quin, I know how you feel” softly said goddess Thike while stroking Quin's head fondly.
“....” no sound comes out of Quin's thin lips, as if his voice disappeared somewhere.
“That is life, every living human being will eventually die (death) in his own way”
“....”
Dewi Thike sighed degan sad “Again you Quin, why did you end up here, not directly to heaven or hell?”.
”I don't know dewi” replied Quin later.
“Because I have a promise to your first ancestor” replied the goddess Thike still with a noticeable grievance on her face.
“Promise on ancestors, what do goddesses mean?”
Then the goddess Thike tells the story of the battle between humans and the demon king that lasted for three years. The goddess Thike, who had the task of being the goddess of fortune, had to ensure that the chosen humans would be born into the world a second time.
Goddess Thike also jabbed at all the ancestors of the seven continents in case of injustice or calamity before the great powers melded into one, then she would turn back time on the approval of the god Oliver and the goddess Olevea.
“And will the goddess give me grace?” quin asked impatiently.
“Yes, I will give that gift to you.” said goddess Thike with a smile.
“But first, I will clean up the shortcomings in your head.” continued goddess Thike with a ignorant smile.
With a single movement of the flick finger of the goddess Thike nudged the eel of Quin, “Aduh, sick goddess.” reflex Quin shook his head.
“Sick how? You are Quin's disembodied soul, making things up.” said goddess Thika while shaking her head.
“Owh, yes, sorry goddess, somehow I always forget, hahaha.” replied Quin with his trademark grin.
“Quin, I will give you a second chance to live again to the world, you will repeat the time, you will repeat life from the age of 17. Real age is a little late, you have to try hard to hone, practice, and control your strength.” explained goddess Thike at length
“But I asked you for some requests, and assume these are some of the terms you have to agree to, because in this case I don't want any rejection”
“What terms goddess?” quin asked curiously.
“You must be able to make peace with your previous life, or you can say you should not use revenge reasons to justify your actions later, but as long as it's for a good purpose for example to improve your abilities it's okay”
“How? You want” continued goddess Thike
“I mean my goddess should be a good person? And let them repeat the time as well to kill me a second time too, huh, that's right ?” cerca Quin
“Not so, I told you earlier, that your second life will not be a life filled with grudges, but you must make peace in order to complete your task and live happily after it, he said, simple right?” obviously goddess Thike
“Hemmm, free to explain at length to you, besides the contents of your head have not worked well, you have to train it yourself, there will be a teacher who guides you”
“Until here my task is done, while your task is waiting, find out what you want to know, remember Quin that you are more than what you know, therefore be wise” said goddess Thike for the umpteenth time.
Seeing the frustration of the goddess Thike, Quin was just a whimper. In fact he had been very trying to digest with all the explanations of the goddess, but again he failed. The silver-blossomed girl only breathed her rough breath, she was also frustrated by her state of being unable to think.
Quin knew very well, Grand Duke Albert's famous favorite daughter was not famous for her talent or beautiful appearance, actually she was known for not being able to hone skills and always failed in academic grades.
The insinuations he hears often. But he always doesn't care. After all who would deal with his two guardian angels who were none other than his own father and brother. For Quin he lived not to find face to face with others. He only lives with who he is. Therefore, he was not insistent and rebellious when he lost the election of the crown princess. He knows what his shortcomings are and how his abilities are (that's all).
“Remember Quin, your life will start again from the beginning, use the opportunity as well as possible.” said goddess Thike with hope.
The second life, no hypocrite Quin was eager to get that chance. But to come to terms with first life is that possible? He was too hurt by what he had done to him and his family. When he has done and behaved well during his life why is the reply so painful? Blame him for seeking revenge for his tragic death? In Quin he wants others to feel what he feels.
“Dendam will not solve the problem of Quin, when you manage to get revenge, rest assured that you lost in a game of life. Your heart will be empty, and continue to seek satisfaction for yourself” the words of the goddess Thike disperse the reverie of Quin.
“I can not promise the goddess, really. I need time to accept everything.” replied Quin weakly.
“I know your deepest soul Quin, I know who you are. After all, you will have a great friend who will fill and strengthen your heart, believe me” explained goddess Thike
“If you may know, who is my best friend goddess?” ask Quin
“You will know later along your journey, once again believe me, that he has been willing to wait for you for hundreds of years to be reunited with” the answer of goddess Thike is still with her mysterious puzzle.
“Alright, I understand goddess.” replied Quin in the end.
“Come!” invite goddess Thike to take Quin's hand to hold.
“Kemana” replied Quin briefly.
“You will know” said goddess Thike again confused Quin
Quin and the goddess walked together through the path, right and left of the path overgrown with a variety of flowers. Along the way Quin can smell the flower. The ocean blue-toothed girl really enjoyed the wide-spread view of the flowers. Then they climbed a sloping hill overgrown with green grass. After a long walk they arrive at a waterfall that flows quite fast.
“Now, it's time we parted ways. Go back to Quin, go back to your world..your house..your family....your father and brother...” said goddess Thike very gently with a smile on her lips.
With a face of shock and eyes glaring Quin asked “So the goddess will drown me here?”
“Of course not, this waterfall will not hurt you, now close your eyes” said the goddess
Quin closed his eyes, slowly disappearing into the waterfall with the current turning upward by itself.
Vaguely Quin can hear the voice of the goddess Thike “You will grow up to be a great woman Quin as great as your mother, I love you so much.”
