Drrrttt
The door was opened by Eri, looking a tall and stooped grandfather. He smiled when he saw us coming, he walked to the door there. With the direction of the swing of the hand, the grandfather signaled us to enter. I nodded then smiled following Eri in front of me.
This door does not show the next room but a staircase leading down there. We descended from the stairs one by one until we found a dark hallway with a torch lighting fire.
“Princess?” The sound coming from behind surprised me. Looking at a tall middle-aged woman, she smiled as she bowed towards me. I smiled at him while bowing anyway, it would be a bit impolite if the old man bowed like that to me who was young. “Mari follow me.”
Eri and I walked along to a large room, bound by a thin curtain. A lot of parents and kids are in there, some of them skinny. This evil is the government sector 1 to make the population starve to thin with bones.
Eri and I walked to see one by one these thin curtains. Some were coughing, some were crying next to sick people, malnourished children. My heart is called to help them, they suffer greatly and can do nothing against the government.
“They are the ones who were dumped by the warriors in the forest, Ian who has brought them here.” The middle-aged woman in front of me stopped and told me to sit on a rock as a stand, while the others sat on the ground. I followed Eri sitting on the ground, it was very disrespectful if anyone was sitting down, I was sitting on top. Middle-aged woman smiles at me while stroking my arm “Include my name Tis, Princess thank you for coming to help you. Ian has promised to bring you here to fight against a cruel government.”
I could only smile at him, nor did I know how to answer him, while I was just told yesterday by Ian. All the eyes in this basement started to look at me expectantly, there were some of them sitting with us, some were just sitting behind the curtains listening to us.
“You can already see for yourself Princess, we are all here suffering.” Suddenly Tis was crying, I could feel his sadness. She must have suffered seeing friends, family and children experience this all. “We have nothing to fight them Princess, more and more days are gone. 3 my son has been shot dead by the soldiers, he rebelled when I wanted to be thrown away.”
It was heartbreaking to hear the moans of a middle-aged woman who lost her child, this hurt a mother. Eri beside me just nodded in understanding, I know she must be sad to see all of this as well.
“Sorry I'm a little late” said Ian who was running towards you with some tall youngsters behind him. He sat down firmly with us, his warrior aura gushing out. “We just got to the point, I just heard Commander Rik from Planet Leo came and told me about me bringing them here, automatically I will be searched by other Soldiers.”
Tis nodded, she stroked Ian's cheek while crying “You're like my son son.”
“We don't have much time.” This time a boy of Ian's age spoke up, he smiled when he saw me. “The only way to defeat Kil is in the Strength ring. A way to replace her from her position is to defeat her in the Strength ring, are you ready Princess?.”
“He is not ready, he has not known all his strength.” Ian replied, Ian knows me.
The young men exhaled violently, it seems he was very disappointed to hear that “Then, go to sector 5 and sector 3, look for the Power owner to train him.” The young man shifted his gaze from Ian then to me “Princess forgive us for inconveniencing you, you can't last long. Sooner or later this city will be attacked by many soldiers to catch Ian and you guys.”
“I don't know the pattern of sectors 5 and 3, I've never been there before.” Ian made the young man sigh long. I remember when next to the Canteen building, Ian drew a pattern in the air to open the teleportation door.
Ian gave a hug to understand and then stood up to follow me, Eri and all. Tis held my hand very gently, her maternal aura radiated out “We will wait for the good news Princess, you believe in you.”
I smiled sweetly even though I forced it, they just wanted a decent life, but whether I could make it happen or not. It all feels hard and heavy, but at least I have Eri and Ian beside me.
Me and Eri went out first so the soldiers wouldn't be suspicious, after that Ian. We had to go to Ian's house first to get our bags, because there was a cell phone even though it was dead because it ran out of battery and there was no signal here.
“Hey” My heart feels like it wants to be dislodged when it hears a firm voice from a soldier. I turned around, I think he already knew I had someone they were looking for. The soldier approached us “You guys, help lift this rice to the same truck. Hurry!.”
I saw a sack of rice up ahead, a sack of rice that weighed maybe 100 kilograms. Lifting the gallon alone I've worked hard let alone lifting it, which there is my body that is flat before lifting it. Eri pulled me towards the rice sack there, before the soldier in front of us was suspicious.
“Let me help you with the power of my telekinesis.” Whisper Eri beside me, she knows very well what I think.
“Stop!!” Our steps stopped right after passing the soldier. My breath was restrained, did he know our identity this time and instantly kill us. The soldier walked in front of us and pointed at the neatly lined cows “Yang men, you helped that part.”
The two of us did not know what to do, while the soldier pulled Eri's hand towards the cows there and told me to lift the sacks of rice. If I could lift the sack, I would throw it at them.
Soldiers guarding a sack of rice as many as 10 people, in their bodies equipped with many weapons. People who lift rice sacks vary in age, from children my age, adults, and parents. It's sad to see parents and children lifting these heavy sacks of rice.
“You're fast here.” Soldier's orders there, I followed his directions. He told me to lift it up and take it to a truck 10 meters away.
I wiped the sweat on my forehead, lifted the end of the sack I couldn't. I looked at Eri who was looking at me with pity, I most disliked being looked at like that, like I couldn't do anything.
“Quick!!” Shouted the soldier who made me very annoyed. My emotions had reached their peak, once again he said that, I would punch him in the face. My back was pushed by a wood from the soldier behind me “Quick lift!!.”
I stood looking at him sharply “I can't, just lift it myself. You have hands, just use your own hands.” I passed by and walked towards Eri.
