"whooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

after a blinding light flashed so intense that make it feels more like i had a black out.

i shut my eyes thightly, hide it with my two palm.

but after a while i realize that im not blacked out but rather feels like my body is beeing drag down free falling from a high place, the hand that holding my eyes now is trashing arround, trying to reach something to grab on.

i feel like if this really free falling, and i fall just like that, i will be dead for sure!

no good..!!

just how high i was falling??

but not long after, my butt is like touching the ground but very softly..

made me sit on the forest ground butt first and hands after.

like it's all was a lie.

"whoooaaa...!!?"

"what the heck was that?"

"ouch.. my butt!!"

using my free hand i pick something that poking my butt, then hold it in my hand.

"what is happening?"

still trying to calm my self from the adrenaline, i try to breath more calmly..

am i passed out?

i was waiting for my trap to catch something but then...

could it be that i was strucked by a lightning?

but the wheater is okay?

no burn whatsoever..

a nuclear bomb?

nah...

or anemia?

but my body is feels noting changed, aside from slight dizziness nothing is out of normal.

'I can't understand at all what i just experienced.. to frightening for side effect of amnesia'

feeling the white bone which still on my hand, i start to focus my mind and trying to see it better in a moon light that beaming from the forest roof.

the shape is like it was from bone near the spinal cord of mid size animal? ..'a rabit?'

but it's to oversized..

"it was quite hurt since it have a sharp edge, how lucky i am using this field clothing, or my but is gona cry.. wait, hmm...."

bringing it infront of my eyes to analyze it more better,

"hmm... is in a good condition like newly plucked bone from a living beeing"

a bone that still has it glossy appearance, like a chiken bone cleanly taken from a fried chiken when you eat in certain fast food restaurant with no meat whatsoever left behind. but, eat it while uncooked..

'whats more, the bone is a bit unrecognizable.. what kind of animal is it from?'

"strange"

"what? whattt was that??"

i throw the bone, shocked seeing a blue transparent window with many words like interface suddenly poped up.

my face and mouth couldn't help but to looks like a fish in a fishtank gasping for air.

"whats going on here??!!"

dumbfounded seeing something so absurd in front of my eyes i let my voice out loudly.

and not long after,

"Uga ugyà aēla ra na ra ba!!!"

from the bushes a few meter from me siting,

i heard something like a Satan worshiper chanting a spell. then i turned my head to the source of it.

"tuqul?" (it's kind of kid ghost in my country infamous as a money stealing expert)

greenish.. small stature like a kid, two big eyes, pointy ears, two cannies portuding from it's mouth, holding a bone knife and using a dirty rag loincloth.

it was..

"a goblin..?"

sited on the ground, still wonder what kind of creature infront of my eyes is.

like a kid brought to the zoo and seeing a monkey for the first time, but the goblin which only 1,2 meter tall that see me with a happy face like he found amazingly delicious prey is start to move.

not long after, it kick the ground and charging with a bone knife pointed at me.

"gaywaaaaaa..!!!"

running with excited face, shouting it's fighting spirit, mouth spitting saliva everywhere. it place all the forces into a single point attack using knife with both hands, aiming at my face.

"uga... yahhh.....!!!"

"eh.. gross!!!"

unsheding the blade from my waist, and slash it lightly to the creature was enough to behead it instantly.

the knife that pointed was never a thread, since my hand length is twice longer plus the length of my blade.

but the blood that splashing out fantastically are showering me in green liquid and it's smells like iron and other disgusting stuff.

"ahh.. sh***..."

"the river is quite far u know..."

"my uncle is right.. you should consider to communicate first before u dirtied your self.."

after that, the goblin which still twicing is finally stop moving. and for once more a blue transparent window is popped up infront of my eyes with a rather cheerful short sound.

"do i stressed out that much?"

pinching my cheek hard with my left hand..

"yep it is hurt!"

"wait, hurt? this is not a dream??"

waving my hand to the screen like thing infront of me but my hand just slipped with no resistance at all.

"just what the heck is going on here.. game?"

i used to being a hardcore gamer in my high school days, but it was long time ago.

the only thing that comes in my head is, it was a game interface.

after some time passed,

seeing the goblin corpse, and the scenery near me, i just now realise that it was all changed.

the plantation, the trees, even the atmosfer around is all different when i concentrate calmly.

and seeing the light that illuminating my surrounding.

"bluish..?"

"the light that shine from above is..."

...

...

...

...

"the moon.."

"it's blue..."

-end of chapter 1-

"sigh...."

breath in...

breath out...

"this is why you shouldn't take your mom words as a joke.."

just a day before,

i just back from working.

not even yet untied my shoes, she greet me with a story.

she told me that she dreamed seeing a big bird with a very long tails flying and soaring into the sky.

i just laugh it off that time, she dreamed a lot of silly things lately..

ignoring her, i put my bag and run to the bathroom to have shower.

the next morning, geting up early.

i was sorting my tools and supplies in the back terrace.

put it orderly and inspect it carefully.

not long after, my mom is coming with two cups of drink, a tea and my favorite black coffee without sugar.

"is it the bird again mom?

at least the bird is not crashing down right? whats more, im not even a bird?"

acting nonchalantly i turned on the electric sharping grinder, pick a hunting knife that i thought it starting to dull and sharpen it.

"ssscccrachhhh...."

making rather loud sound i tried to ignore my mom who put the coffee on the table and grabbing a chair to sit on.

seeing me sit quietly and sharping my tools she knows that i preparing to go.

she start to drink her tea not far from my place, watching the garden relaxly and start her naratif that i hear for a lot of times.

i mean.. it's not the first time she acting wierd like this..

"you know, since you can walk by your own feet i need to be really carefull to you. from the early age, only a second u left my shight and u will be gone somewhere."

"i wonder.. where does that free soul of yours is inherit from.. since your father.. even if his job is archeologist, he never like going out far and loved to stay at home and teaching in the campus if he can you know?"

"yeah sure he is, untill he got provoked and doing stupid reaserch right?"

"do you still have a grudge dear?"

"no, not at all. when i grew up, i know how naughty i am when i was a kid."

"you are never changed are you..?"

"hmphh.."

even if it's obvious, i tried to shift the conversation.

my dad..

he used to be abusing father.

when i was a little, he always beat me with his belt every time i make a problem.

i remember when i was 12 years old, i come back late at night after i got carried away by logistic truck heading to other town, my mom is worried sick.

thougt that i was beeing kidnaped by someone.

after 3 hours stucked at the cargo, when the truck is stoped and unloading, i run to the nearest police station and ask for help, then i was escorted to my house that night.

arrived at my house and go out from the car,

i see my mom crying, and my frustrated dad trying to calm her down infront of the house.

then, not even tried to call them.

instead, i try to hide and start to run to other direction (instinctly).

but my dad eyes chaught me first, since the police car is too eye catching anyway.

then,

then i start to run like my life is on the line, and dad chased me like a mad man ready to chomp me like a hungry lion.

i was chaught not long after and he really beat me up to rag.

he can be so kind to other people and loved by surrounding neighbor as how kind natured he is.

'i wonder how come he can beat me like a dog tough I'm his son?'

'maybe i just beeing too spoiled that days'

a bit guilty.. after all those problems i caused (many times),

i had to confess that i was a naughty kid that always have free spirit and cause problems to my surrounding.

always venturing, always curious without thinking the consequences.

"did u miss him mom?"

i can see her lonely face..

she couldn't hide it even after years from the day my dad went missing.

he was gone when i was still elementary school.

"yeah.. why you asked me an obvious question son?"

said mom with a smile on her face, i see wrinkles on her face, but she still beautyful since age doesn't change your face line.

"sorry mom, i guess i missed him too"

...............

silence..

...............

i have no more materials to talk about, since my dad missing on the black wood mountain when he research certain ruin, i was obsessed to find him since that day and still haven't moved on.

from learning survival technique, self defense, training my body, pile up knowledge from reading dad's books, journals and notes that lefted behind.

even tough i know i wasted my youth i can't stop it.

the reason I can't moved on u asked?

"my coffee please?"

"here"

"thankyou"

taking a sip my bitter coffee, i start to remember his figure who drank coffee every morning on balcony.

it's giving me akward feeling..

"aahhh... your coffee is always satisfying mom, delicious!"

from my junior high school, i always climb to that mountain, hoping one day to see him again..

or at least...

find his remain...

'he is my hero..?'

can i say it like other kids says about his father?

maybe not..

he left.. and my mom keeps waiting for his return..

maybe im a cold son, but i wish my mom to move on and try to find another life and be happy..
