The Borders
Section 148 – Gather Back
Kashel awoke from his sleep and opened his eyes slowly, he was in the bed of the people's house.
Kashel sat down in shock.
"It was sober Cu" said an old man, bringing a cup of warm tea to Kashel. Behind him was a woman who looked timid like she was his granddaughter, she was almost the same age as Kashel.
"We found you in the middle of an unconscious forest earlier." The Grandfather explained as he gave Kashel a cup of warm tea.
"Thank you, Cake." Kashel politely accepted the warm tea and smiled warmly at the woman behind her grandfather, but then Kashel simply said that his drink did not drink it.
Kashel was afraid that if it was his poison, he was still traumatized by the darkness that kept chasing him, his mind could not think too positively now.
"That's Cu herbal tea, you can recover quickly if you drink it." Kashel smiled as he nodded politely and drank it he believed in the old man. But then Kashel looked surprised to see his grandfather surprised.
"Grandfather okay?" kashel asked, looking at the old man but not his face, but what was behind him.
"Grandfather felt a little unwell, just a few days. Uhuk! Uhuk!" grandpa was coughing he looked weak. Then he left the room, leaving behind Kashel and the woman who seemed to be his granddaughter.
"Ah, I'm sorry to greet you with what it is." Said the woman shyly.
"It's okay to take care of me here, I'm really grateful." Kashel said he finished the tea made by the grandfather. The house was just a small hut consisting of two rooms.
"Oh yes my name is Meila, and you?" tanyanya took an empty glass belonging to Kashel.
"My name is Kashel" said Kashel kindly. Then Meila went out of the room with Kashel's empty glass.
What I should do. Touching the darkness, Liam would have known my whereabouts immediately, but if I let him, this Grandpa would die, and protecting him would also have made him die. Inner Kashel he frustrated himself because of that, he could not let innocent people die. Ah yes, guys. Kashel stood up. Kashel walked out of the room.
"Where are you going Cu?" grandpa asked as he looked at Kashel who was walking towards him.
"Grandfather, I'm going outside for a second. I'm not leaving for now. I'm gonna call my friend here." Kashel explained and of course the grandfather allowed him when Kashel had seen him as fine.
Kashel went to the city to buy a new cell phone and after that came back again and contacted Luan. Luckily Kashel still had the cards he was carrying so he could cash in.
After a day Kashel's friends came including his wife. Grizelle immediately ran over Kashel's embrace after seeing her husband who was fine, Kashel was really happy because of Grizelle who behaved like that. He did not want to let go of her embrace even though Grizelle had let go of his embrace. Kashel wants to take Grizelle somewhere and wants to spend her time with Grizelle alone.
Meila looked at him and was a little disappointed. Is he his girlfriend. Meila thought she was curious.
"Why do you envy those two young couples?" Chain of course immediately took the initiative of approaching the girl. Meila looked surprised.
"He-hey, don't tell me you had a crush on Kashel?" Chain guessed Meila's.
"N-no! I didn't know she was married." Meila said her white face was flushed in shame.
"Not to be ashamed, there is a single me who is ready to accompany you here." Chain was immediately approached by Luan and tracked her down.
"Lou! Hey what the fuck are you!" upset Chain to Luan.
"Dad I'm gonna yell at Mom for flirting with another woman." Luan even danced, making Meila become confused. Meila laughs.
"Don't believe her." Chain grumbled as he pointed at Luan explaining to Meila.
"It looks like I'm still going to be single right now." Chain pushed Luan closer to Meila and she moved away.
"Hey what's wrong with you?" meila asked waved her hand in front of Luan's face that held in shame. Their height was almost the same Meila also had a smaller body than Luan.
"I can't believe you know I'm older, I'm ashamed." Luan said covering her face. Meila just laughed.
"Hey what's your name, I'm Meila." Meila introduced herself.
"My name is Luan." Said Luan introducing herself. Luan felt still embarrassed, but she was a little happy that there was a woman who did not say it little boy anymore. Like when he went out in the middle of the night to shop at the minimarket, there must be someone who said minors at that hour should sleep inside the house.
Kashel is seen chatting with Kyler and the others at that time, intending to eradicate the darkness that is on the shoulders of Meila's grandfather. He continued to embrace Grizelle not letting go in the slightest. Kashel's friends nodded in understanding and understood.
"Meila do you believe in the power of darkness?" kashel asked suddenly, Meila looked confused she did not understand.
"Dark influences that affect the health of others and take their lives." Kashel said, Meila immediately remembered the pandemic that hit the world.
"What is it like Kashel said? That it was because of the darkness so many people died? Not because of a virus?" Meila asked for an explanation.
"Yeah, I hope you're hiding this fact. If everyone was afraid the darkness would get stronger and more victims would." Kashel explained..
"Grandfather Meila, it's not here." Kyler, who had been inside the house, ran to inform him of the emergency.
Kashel instantly tracks down Meila's grandfather and senses his presence inside the forest they all together search into the forest and find Meila's grandfather in a state controlled by the Spirit of Darkness. Feeling the powerful magic of the Spirit of Darkness was frightened and intended to escape with its prey, but Meila's grandfather could still stop him because it was still in his own consciousness even though he was half conscious.
"Grandfather!" meila shouted she intended to go to her grandfather like that. And Luan blocked his hand.
"Don't go there let my friends handle this and save your grandfather." Obviously, Luan Meila also understood. Luan took off Meila's hand slowly feeling embarrassed for having done so.
Chain and Erphan work together to get rid of the Dark Spirit attached to Meila's grandfather. Since it was common to face such a thing they managed to defeat him easily.
Kashel did not need to intervene because of that. Kashel's friends already knew that if Kashel was connected to the Spirit of Darkness, Kashel's existence would be instantly known to Lyam and that it would certainly harm his client.

"I will wander through the darkness that has not touched man. Grizelle you want to keep waiting for me at home. I'm not coming back now." Kashel asked permission anyway and Grizelle nodded of course, Kashel kissing Grizelle's forehead.
"We will also travel with Kashel to root out the darkness with you. Exterminating the darkness that had been clinging to ordinary humans." Said Rigel sure. Kashel nodded. But Anna do you want to stay with Grizelle at home.
"I don't think it's a problem, but I also want to protect this world Kashel." Anna said she also wants her powers to be useful to others.
Finally, everyone took the initiative to bring Meila and her grandfather to live with Grizelle. Seeing the kindness of the family, they were not bad people. The two of them were just difficult people living in a rickety wooden hut in the middle of this forest. Luan was the most excited person here, she felt like she had met the moorings of her heart at first glance.
Kashel could not be so trusting of the new man. So he gives Grizelle a magic necklace that has her magic energy which if anything Kashel can go straight to go home.
However, Meila and her grandfather had no magic energy at all. Meila and her grandfather agreed, after hearing all the explanations about magic and the Dark Spirit they were escorted to the Liam residence in the middle of the wilderness. The place that was hindered by the powerful magic belongs to The Borders and other friends of Kashel. For the time being Anna still lives and accompanies Grizelle in the mansion along with two other people Meila and her grandfather.
