The Borders
Section 10 – Make Peace With The Past
"Rigel awake" said Kashel. He could not control his own abilities while using the power of The Borders. The longer he uses his power. That power will be uncontrollable, as it gets stronger.
Kashel's present body still could not hold him. Kashel rarely uses his abilities as necessary. At the very least he wanted to use his abilities not until the power of The Borders came out to be used as well. He must stop this power soon or the power he is using now could hurt Rigel.

Rigel is stuck with his past and guilt over the destruction of his tribe and his entire family due to the abilities he gained. He is currently drowning in his dark time.
Before the syndicate members came to his hometown a remote village far from the modern center. Rigel stayed in the dark for three days, three nights. Then he who suffered severe trauma was found as the only survivor.
Everyone dies there, but Rigel is not to blame because the police have no evidence that Rigel was the one who killed the people because there is no evidence whatsoever that leads to Rigel, all were sentenced to have had heart attacks, but there were strange symbols on the ground where their bodies lay. And was thought to have used forbidden magic.
Rigel's case was handed over to the Boundary Guard Organization. There he is finally known to have killed the protective spirit of the people by burning it to destruction. And the one who loses their protective spirit will die of course, that is the guarantee of binding a contract with the protective spirits.
And it is known that Rigel himself asked for his memory to be erased. Unable to remember his own miserable past, with his own hands his entire tribe was wiped out.
But now he has remembered all his childhood and all his happiness that ended. It was basically a human who killed the Protective Spirit of another person and did not commit that mistake intentionally, or got out of control. Under the rules will remain exempt, but under strict surveillance.
However, due to Rigel being too violent when his memory is erased, he becomes locked up by the syndicate until he meets Kashel and is asked to work at The Borders Organization afterwards.
Rigel left the office after learning that Kashel had opened his own branch, after hearing that Kashel had disappeared for half a year.
No one dared to oppose Rigel's desire to work for Kashel, whom his family hated, instead, the headquarters people were happy that Rigel had been transferred.
He knew who Kashel was, of course the man was looking for information about everything. Kashel was a commoner, although the main family of Kendrick's descendants were considered a family disgrace. The man who was not considered even excommunicated as a child Rigel knew it. Therefore after Kashel had his own office Rigel aimed to become his weak protector.
But in reality, he was shocked to learn that the person he became attached to was a Guardian. And in the end want to be an ordinary person or even a special ability Rigel admitted can not beat Kashel however.

"RIGEL!" Kashel shouted while continuing to guard his protective spell.
Rigel seemed to hear something in the midst of his despair. He thought little of his memory, which he remembered about how he met Kashel. Because of trapped old memories that have reappeared. He began to recall how he had promised Kashel.
"I intend with this power to be useful to others and whatever in my past, I don't want to be stuck with it all though it may not be fun, I want to be who I am now." Remember Rigel about those words to Kashel.
"Well, I can, my mistake is very, very inexcusable, because I'm all dead. Can I be forgiven." Rigel cried considering the pain he was experiencing. Then he saw someone standing in front of him.
"You can do it, everyone has their mistakes and regrets. It's just that with a different story, but the human heart is also different.
"Even by a small mistake they can be as frustrating as you are now. It's just that we have to find a way, how we can make peace with that bitter past. That's what matters most.
"Whether it hurts, time can never be repeated. Everyone will move forward." Kashel extended his hand to Rigel. The man raised his head towards her.
"Kashel do you have the same wound?" Kashel nodded.
"It's just a different story, but I won't be stuck in the past. I'll never be like this if I keep getting stuck in the past."
It turns out that due to the power of Kashel who confined Rigel, Kashel could read Rigel's grief that felt so guilty that many people died because of it. Kashel did not know the full details. Kashel could only hear Rigel muttering inside Kashel's barrier. Kashel gave him advice.
"Please don't give up on this bitter life. At least look for your own happiness first, to make up for all the mistakes." Kashel reaches his limit he must stop his protective spell now.
It turned out that Rigel listened to Kashel's request and the flames that burned his body slowly disappeared to coincide with Kashel stopping his deterrent spell.
Although his journey will be long and full of twists and turns and troubles, Rigel is asked not to give up and as Kashel says, he must seek his own happiness.
He remembered everything that day he agreed to the request of the elders of his tribe. Being aware of the spirit binding ritual for her was indeed a great risk, but everyone still did it. Entrusting everything to the kind-hearted Rigel, though eventually the ritual ends up failing and Rigel goes berserk.
Rigel stood up, and went to Kashel who was sitting drowning. Rigel was fully conscious and managed to deal with the fog poison.
"Thank you for pulling me from the abyss of Kashel's despair, you are a strong man whom I cannot defeat in any way." Kashel only smiled weakly in response to Rigel not having the strength to answer him. He was currently busy concentrating back on restricting the power of The Borders flowing in his body.
After that force he limited everything, Kashel would fall unconscious. Rigel caught him and panicked because of it. Lyam immediately came to pick up Kashel's fainted body. And carry it on his shoulders.
"This time you ran Kashel out of steam," murmured Lyam, Rigel shaking violently in fear that Lyam would throw him with his power but Liam did nothing. He appreciates the struggle of Kashel, a struggle whose feelings even reached Liam.
In Lyam's arms, Kashel smiled. Although he looked faint actually he did not really faint, his ears still heard. He was touched also by the kindness of Liam who would be kind not to punish Rigel, although Kashel was currently unconscious and he could act as he pleased.
"Why are you staying there? If you're like that again. This time I won't forgive you, boy." Rigel immediately stood up following where Liam was going.
It did not feel like the night was approaching dawn and they could rest for a while. The unconscious Kashel was taken to the house provided by the village chief for them to stay for a while, the three of them were able to rest there. Kashel was laid on a mattress and allowed to sleep there. It might take some time for Kashel to regain consciousness. He was quite exhausted due to the power of the protective spell he used.
Kashel's protective spell did not use magic energy but energy of his own power. So that if using the spell it will take care of all his energy, as if he had run many kilometers away.
Rigel feels awkward because he was left alone with Lyam, willing to invite Liam to talk he is afraid that the man will be angry with him, afraid that the incident will be revealed and he will be punished by Lyam. Forced Rigel to survive to not talk much at this time, he had to introspect himself due to the incident earlier.
He also could not sleep because the day was not fully bright, even though he also felt exhausted because it had raged and expended great energy. They remained vigilant as the Dark Spirit could still wander around and create chaos at this moment.
It did not feel like the sun had finally risen and the morning had come. Feeling safe Rigel fell asleep right after. He felt his energy drained more than usual, being alone with Liam completely drained his energy. Moreover, he who likes to talk can not invite Liam to communicate fear if the man is offended.
Kashel I want you to wake up so I have a talking partner. Rigel's mind expects Kashel to wake up, because in the depths of his heart Rigel wants Liam who lies there and Kashel who accompanies him to stand guard. But until the end of his wish was not fulfilled, Kashel was completely asleep.
Lyam noticed only Kashel and Rigel who were asleep. He did nothing at this time just sitting down to look at the two human children.
Kashel was peacefully asleep and Rigel, who was sleeping in a mess in the long chair of the house, had his legs lifted up onto the back of the chair with one hand hanging on the floor. While snoring loudly. He really slept soundly no matter to Liam who was watching the two of them. Rigel's protective spirit fell asleep in his stomach, shrinking to the size of a cat.
Kashel seemed to start moving, but he still seemed to be asleep. His body still needed rest, so despite moving he still knew nothing.

THE DUAR!
The sound of a huge explosion caused Kashel to open his eyes, but after that he fell asleep again and his strength had not fully recovered.
"Well! What's that!" Rigel stood straight with his horses. His sleeping guardian spirit fell to the floor in Rigel's shock.
"There was an attack" said Liam coldly.
"What's? Is it night?" Rigel looked out the window it was still day, he thought he had been sleeping all day.
"This spirit, has become strong." Lyam comes out of the small house to look for the spirit of the troublemaker, Rigel follows him behind Liam while his guardian spirit hangs behind him in Rigel's shirt, following him. His form is still small yet to be big.
