The Dark Heir
The story of the great spirits

Last night's party was very festive.Lilia and father look very tired.Maklum alone, last night Lilia invited her friends to play to the park behind the house.They ran around to and fro until exhausted.

While the father drank too much overnight, making him fall asleep for too long.Meanwhile, Felix and Arthur were escorted home with the help of the servants because they were too drunk.

"Is Gerald awake?", asked the mother of the servant who looked after me.

"Already madam", replied the waiter, bowing his body.

"Good morning Gerald", greet mom while lifting me from the bed.

I am very grateful because I was too bored in the room.Mommy immediately took me to go to the park.The park is the best place for me here.In addition to its beauty, the air also makes me feel very calm.

"Good morning mother", greet a boy.

"Good morning Robert, how did you sleep? is it sound?", asked the mother as she approached Robert.

"Lumayan ma'am, by the way do you want to go to the park?", Robert replied with a thick book.

"Do you want to come with us, Robert?" take mom with a smile.

Robert just nodded and immediately followed us.

My residence is large enough to live in.Entah there are how many rooms here, which surely this place can accommodate a lot of guests like last night.

"Where are you and Lilia ma'am?" asked Robert while pulling out a soft mother dress.

"Mom think they're still sleeping baby", replied the mother as she stroked Robert's head.

Robert was silent, his face was disappointed. I think he's looking forward to the morning to playing with Lilia soon.

"Can I play with Gerald ma'am?" ask Robert with a hopeful face.

"Of course it may be dear, take good care of your sister later yes", replied the mother gently.

Robert smiled hearing that.His face looked brighter when mom allowed him to play with me.

"Thank you very much ma'am, I will definitely take good care of Gerald" Robert replied with a sweet smile.

Mom just smiled and took Robert by the hand.Together we went to the garden behind this house.

...*****...

The condition of the garden today looks very soothing.The Xiomara flower tree still drops its petals, looks very beautiful in this morning.

"Can I play with Gerald now?" ask Robert who is impatient.

"Of course, honey, take good care of your sister" replied the mother, handing me over to Robert.

Robert's eyes seemed to sparkle.He immediately carried me carefully.His face smiled and nodded at mother, a sign that he was ready to take good care of me.

Unlike Lilia who preferred to take me to the Xiomara tree, Robert preferred to take me to the regular tree.

Robert asked the servants to put up a mat that would be used by both of us.It looks like Robert is serious about his words that will take care of me.

"Do you want me to tell you a story, Gerald?" ask Robert to open the book.

I can't answer anything, after all I'm just a 1-month-old baby.Robert looks at me with a smile, then he starts to tell a story.

"In ancient times, there was a great war known as world war 2.This war involves the spirits, demons, and humans.Each camp never stopped attacking each other" said Robert who began to separate.

"Until one day, the people came to the Spirits to seek the approval of the alliance.Initially many Spirits rejected the alliance, judging that the human race was too weak", robert continued with his face that looked serious.

"The meeting between the Spirits was held, the meeting took 5 days was very hot, the Spirits were divided into 2 parties, namely the support of the alliance and the rejection of the alliance", continued Robert.

"Until the end came the 10 great Spirits who mediated everything, they came with the decision that the Spirits could give their power to humans but humans who had to fight against demons" Robert continued.

"The great spirits have names, the great Spirit of light named Ellen, the great Spirit of War named Einar, the great Spirit of the land named Affandra, the great Spirit of fire named Phoenix, the great spirit of the storm named Corentin, The great spirit of water is named Aqua, the great spirit of lightning named Cerano, the great spirit of heaven named Ozora, and the great Spirit of peace named Annette" Robert said while arranging his breath.

"And there is one more great Spirit named Shadow, he is the great Spirit of the ruler of darkness" Robert continued.

This is more interesting, I know when I was in the holy temple I only saw 9 great spirits although there are 10 seats there.Save my eyes to Robert who is still fun to tell the story.

"In the end all Spirits agree with the decision of the 10 great Spirits, they give their power to humans so that humans can fight in their place" Robert continued.

"After that the humans immediately fought against the demons in place of the Spirits who had given them power, because the Spirits were impressed with the humans who were adept at using the power of the Spirits, the Spirits decided to give their power to humans forever" Robert continued, looking at me.

"Then one day there was a commotion between the 9 great Spirits and the great Spirit of darkness, the great Spirit of darkness could not find a human who was able to withstand even a little, strength, so that the human given power will experience a terrible death" continued Robert who returned to focus on looking at the book.

"Due to the monstrous number of dead humans, the great spirit of darkness was eventually dubbed as the god of death by the humans, the statement made him angry and disposed of his title as the great Spirit", robert said without taking his eyes off the book at all.

"Until now, the existence of the great Spirit of darkness has never been known to exist" Robert continued, closing his book.

The story is very interesting.I finally understand why there are only 9 great spirits even though there are 10 chairs in the holy temple.

I turned my eyes to Robert's face, which was smiling at me right now, and I think he felt very happy that he could spend time with me.

"What if we do this another time?" ask Robert.

Obviously I want to do this again, but I can only look Robert in the face.Robert smiled as he stroked my head.

"I take it as agreeing" Robert said as he kissed my forehead.

"Robert, Gerald come here it's time for lunch" call mom from a distance.

Robert immediately got up and carried me.His face now looks brighter than last night.

"All right mother! we'll be there soon" Robert replied as he walked carrying me.

"Other times when you're older, we play together again, don't we, Gerald?" robert said with a big smile.

I could only silently look at her cheerful face.

I will be looking forward to that day.

Seriate...
