The End of the World - Story I
Deal

...~ ◊ ~...

After telling all the stories of the truth, the Prince bowed lethargic, wept bitterly, and pleaded with a choking voice.

The whole family he loved had fallen into a heresy of deceit and seduction. Losing common sense and being shackled. Now must kill each other just for the Queen's satisfaction.

“In the meantime, I will consider your story to be true,” said Miss Bubalis. “Lantas 4 is this the Knight in the story?”

“It's true. The old Knight was Basita the Murwa Kunkara; the bespectacled Knight was Danendra the Mukti Wibawa; the Girl of the Knights was Antara the Sumela Atur; and the Dark-skinned Knight was Bramanta the Lelana,” replied the Prince while introducing the four Knights sitting cross-legged behind him.

“Lantas where are the other three Knights?” my many.

“Before, upon hearing of the appearance of King Angkara (the man who managed to reunite the entire continent), we Knights came to support the legitimate throne of his kingdom which had ruled the entire continent, the,” said Basita the Old Knight.

“But we parted after feeling suspicion for all the rottenness of the Queen. The four of us decided to go with Prince I, while the other three Knights (Knight Hamung Tuwuh, Pambuka Gapura, and Pinandita) insisted on staying with King Angkara.”

“And we think if they are still on the side of King Angkara and become part of his Pangreksa army,” added Bramanta the Dark-skinned Knight.

“Maybe they have fallen in the Magic Enchantment p*l*c*r the curse,” says Between the Knight girl with her face.

“So it can be assumed that the mastermind behind all this chaos is the Queen,” said Arctos suddenly while stroking his head. “But who is he exactly? And how could he use magic that only the Jin Nation should have?”

“Looks like him is a creature like me,” said Danendra the glasses Knight.

What the hell does that mean? Isn't he human too?

Uh! Also true! The prince said that Danendra the Mukti Wibawa can also use magic by copying the Slavery Magic from the Queen.

“Human half Jin, yes,” muttered Lupus. “It's worth your presence not felt, even by a ‘Bayan’ like me.”

“Yes, his pale skin is indeed very characteristic of the descendants of the Jin Nation,” added Mr. Dirus.

Half-Jin Man? I never thought I would meet one of them in this day and age. I thought they were extinct after the departure of the Jin Nation to the Lower Realm.

“Although half-Jinn Humans can use magic, it is impossible to have magical energy as big as the Queen. Except for getting a blessing as a knight like me,” Danendra said.

“Then where did the woman come from l*c*r it?” my many.

“Entahlah. We only know that he came with a group of comfort women who came to King Bawika's army camp after his defeat against the forces of King Amarah,” replied the Prince.

“Another very important thing for us to know: actually how does this Slavery Magic work?” ask Arctos curiously.

“This magic of slavery does not fully control its victims,” Danendra replied.

“This magic only gives the victim the impulse and desire to do what the controller commands, which is to submit to him and fight each other with the other controlling forces.

That is why you (Hayawan) are not affected by this control, because you have no desire to submit or deal with the Human Nation.

So far the controller of Slavery Magic has only 4 people: namely King Angkara, Prince I, Prince II, and Prince III. All were puppets of the Queen, except Prince I. This situation is like a doll that becomes a toy of another doll controlled by one mastermind behind it all.

The four camps that control this magic can each other to do surveillance magic against other forces, but can not give orders. Because orders can only come to people who have the same drive and desire as the giver of command.”

“So even though Prince I can keep an eye on everyone affected by this Slavery Magic, but he will not be able to control them because they are not bound by the desire to submit to him. And now the people who are under the control of Prince I are the ones who really want him to lead, yes.”.

“That's how it is,” firmly Danendra. “We were forced to use this Slavery Magic (by copying the Queen's magic) so that we could prevent innocent people from being enslaved by King Angkara and other Princes (by tying magic to them under Prince I), at once to observe the movement of other troops so that we can more easily survive the war.”

“All these problems come from his family and kingdom, so he is the one who has the most right to solve them,” Grandpa Basita replied.

“As has been told, King Bawika is actually not a bad person, nor are his children. And we Knights also want to serve him because of that. But p*l*c*r is what brainwashes them.

It was fortunate that Prince I was able to escape his clutches. So he is the one whom we consider fit to lead our resistance to him. And do not forget that Prince I was my own disciple whom I had been studying since he was young. I can guarantee his kindness and prowess.”

Also true. Prince I doesn't look like a bad person. There is no way that a wicked and arrogant person will want to go all the way to this dirty swamp and embarrass himself by bowing his head to the Hayawan Nation like us.

“Hmm... But even if we agree to your request to cooperate, won't King Angkara still know our movements using surveillance magic?” ask Miss Bubalis.

“If the deal is really agreed upon, I will use my magic to obstruct the supervision of King Angkara so that we can move freely,” Danendra replied with confidence.

Apparently so. It is only fitting that the Prince I camp that has the least number of troops can survive the war, can even defeat the Prince II camp. So they used that magic to defend and attack the other camp, huh.

“For that, once again we ask for your help to help us fight the Queen of divination and troublemakers of this Great Continent,” said the Prince as he lowered his head again for the umpteenth time.

“This time will be interesting. And it's time we got this all done, right?” said Miss Bubalis.

“Yeah, it's time for you to get out of your muddy bed and return to command your entire army,” taunted Mr. Dirus.

“So what you said. After hearing all these truths, I will not remain silent either!” firmly Miss Bubalis.

“Of course! We will not allow the penista of the great prophecy that we have upheld to continue living on this land!” lupus.

“It's true! We will destroy it with its magic. Free everyone from the shackles of slavery and destroy the magic that surrounds our hometown!” I said excited.

“You mean the teleportation magic that surrounds the Buana Groaning Forest?” ask Danendra. “We never knew if the Queen used that magic. After all there is no benefit for the 'Witch' to do it.”

“We think it was the Hayawan Khan who deliberately installed the magic to avoid the influence of Slavery Magic.” added Bramanta.

“Of course not. That Teleportation magic was also a disaster for us. Where in the forest becomes isolated, while those outside the forest cannot return. There is no way the Khan will cast such detrimental magic on our village,” I replied.

“If not the Queen and certainly not the Khan, then who installed the teleportation magic that covered the Buana Forest?” ask Arctos that none of us can answer.

“Think with the truth the Prince told us, we have found the answers to all the mysteries we seek. But it turns out there are still mysteries that we have not managed to get a definite answer,” said Lupus with an annoyed look.

Well, that's right. There are still two messages that we really want to know. That is who installed the Teleportation Magic that surrounded the Buana Groaning Forest and what was the purpose of Mr. Dirus' desire to head to Angker Island?

“Remoining that, is this how the Hayawan Nation Warrior has now agreed to cooperate with Prince I's forces?” ask Miss Bubalis and Mr. Dirus.

“Hmm... I suppose. It's time we stopped hiding. Now is the time to fight the blasphemy that has hurt mother earth,” replied Mr. Dirus.

“But before that, we have to tell about this deal and all the truth stories behind this calamity to all our troops so as not to have any misunderstandings,”, added Miss Bubalis.

“You don't have to think about that, Commander.” Suddenly the word sounded out from behind the shadow, it was the previous spy wolf.

“Me and the other 'Shadow Units' have reported everything to all the troops through our telepathic women,” continued the wolf.

As expected of the ‘Bayan’. Their work is very fast, even before other people realize it.

“Good if so. We will depart as soon as possible to destroy the King of Angkara and the p*l*c*r he protects,”, said Miss Bubalis.

“We are very grateful for your help, Hayawan Nation the most loyal nation,” said the Prince happily engraved on the face of his baby beak.
