THE ETERNAL DRAGON
CHAPTER 28 | Early eternity

“When grandfather died, Khaga invited me to go looking for the experience of leaving our childhood city. We also sailed through the pacific ocean.”

“At the middle of the trip, bad weather made us lose our way, until we saw an island and docked there. We ran out of supplies, then we went around looking for groceries on that uninhabited island.”

“We found nothing edible except plants, no humans, no animals in sight.”

“When we walked further, we saw on a hill a fruitful tree, but strangely there was only one fruit on the tree. The fruit is similar to peer fruit but the shape is larger.”

“Because of hunger, we took the fruit and split it. After finishing the fruit, we had an excruciating pain in our stomachs, we were rolling on the ground, the heart was beating faster, sweat was pouring down, our faces were turning pale. The peak of our breath feels tight, the view starts to blur, then dark, we do not remember anymore”

“Entai how long it happened until one day we woke up. We don't feel anything strange in our bodies. Then because we did not find any other food on the island, we sailed back.”

“Finally we arrived on a continent, it seems like somewhere in China today, we live there and blend in with the people there, learning their culture.”

“At that time there was a lot of war, we tried to avoid it, but one day we could not avoid it anymore. We too were late in the war. That's when we realized about immortality”

“One time on the battlefield, I saw Khaga being killed, then myself also being pierced by some spears. It all starts with darkness. Breath stopped as if it were dead. But a few moments later we bounced back”

“It happened over and over again, causing us to get bolder in battle, and even more strength. I don't know how many wars we have lived in this life, almost all over the world, wandering from one region to another once we rise again”

“Any death and rise again, we always move. The world seems to be driving us from one place to another. That's when Khaga started to change, he was hostile towards humans who have always not sided with us, humans are always at war with each other”

“Although we can not die, but we still feel the pain of the wound and the pain of blood dripping up, but we keep getting back up.”

“Our identity was known to many people, we were considered demons, witches, we were beaten, tortured, expelled, even we were tested various ways to kill us. But the result we bersakir” again

“Khaga always ends up replying to their treatment, killing everyone who knows our identity. The longer, the more brutal Khaga, wants to obliterate the world that exists now and start a new world with a person who obeys him”

“I disagree with him, which made us fight for centuries.”

“Entah on how many battles, we made a deal, not to fight again, choose each path until now. But the deal could end if there is a clash between us”

“For that, I have to find out about this Longevity Sect, whether it has anything to do with my brother or not” said John who was already at length.

Sasha listens to John's every explanation and feels John's heartache from his past.

“Does anyone else know your identity now, other than me” asked Sasha

“Since I have always been accompanied by friends who know our identity, but one by one all go, we are separated by their deaths.”

Sasha felt sadness, loneliness in John's tone.

“At this time there are several people who know of my existence including yourself Sasha” continued John.

John paused for a moment while sipping his drink.

“I feel the deal will end soon” said John back in a sad tone.

“Why” ask Sasha back.

“As an agent, have you heard of the case of the immortal being that the vampire mentioned by man now?” ask John

“No. That's true” said John who made Sasha surprised at the truth.

“At one time, a few hundred years ago, I came across a strange case. The disappearance of humans, humans who died of blood loss, until the slaughter of humans by the bite on the human body. And all the victims are bled out”

Sasha shivered to listen to him, “I've heard such a story, but my logic at that time rejected the truth and considered it to be a myth”

“I suspect, my brother Khaga is trying to form an immortal army, but the experiment is not perfect, the creature can still be killed by stabbing his heart.”

“Right now I feel like they're all around us, hiding waiting for our deal to end and attacking all of humanity in the world” continued John.

Hearing this, Sasha inevitably shivered in fear, her face paled imagining war with the creature.

“What should we do John?”

“I hope you believe my words. I want you to prepare everything, train the people you trust to face the possibility of war”

“But you have to promise to keep my identity a secret, because if my identity is known to humans, I cannot move freely. They will hunt me wherever I hide” said John considering his past which became a manhunt.

“I promise John” sahut Sasha. “How about the Longevity Sect?”

“I'm not sure if this sect has anything to do with my brother or not. So if you're willing, I beg your help to help me investigate” continued John.

“Alright John, I will help you” said Sasha excitedly.

Then their conversation returned to light things. After she finished eating, Sasha drove John back to his hotel and said goodbye.

Sasha, who now knows of John's eternal existence, makes her thinking about the world change. He who had been skeptical about spirituality, now began to think and read things about spirituality and history.

Then Sasha was currently equipping herself with a knife weapon, in addition to the gun she used to carry. He then sought information about the existence of vampires and the longevity sect.

With John in Russia, he trained his fight diligently then he passed the exercise on to the group of friends he formed to prepare for the battle that might occur in his lifetime against the Khaga forces.

“Sasha, I need your help about something else” John said while calling Sasha at one time.

“Say John” replied Sasha

“Please find information about new world expeditions in russia” continued John

“Good. Does this have anything to do with your brother?” tanyanya returned

“Iya. Khaga is trying to find something that can kill our immortality”

“What?. Is there such a thing?” sasha asked curiously.

“So, I'm not sure about that yet. But my intuition said that it was true” continued John.

“Ok. I'll investigate it soon” said Sasha and hung up.
