Chapter 1 : Eulogy of The Past 1

"Mada !" shouted a beautiful eleven years-old girl towards her childhood friend that was being chased by a dozen Amoksa guards, she had high pitch tone with traces of an early pubescent voice when she tried to get the attention of the panic-stricken Mada.

Mada currently was running through a narrow alleyway, with vile, cramped and dirty buildings lined up in between.

A dark and gloomy environment, that even sunlight was reluctant to penetrate, his legs were jumping through obstacles consisting of Trash and other things that could be counted as garbage, a very unsanitized place of living indeed, You could even often find mice drank from black puddles scattered in every corner of the places, fortunately, the alley itself was quite, only few sane and financially-able Human would come to this God forsaken outer area in the first place.

Se-Panjang, that was the name of the slum district Mada choosed to escape to after painstakingly sneaking Himself into the urban city of Terraria, it was his birth place and located just outside the outer wall of The City State.

white-greyish color appeared when light fell on the wall's surface, with top of the wall towering almost 15 floors above the ground.

Mada was not just infiltrating the ginormous high wall by climbing it directly from outside. only the most foolish person would even do that. manning on the top of the wall was guard troop from the Amoksa batalyon. the moment a predator class Mutant attacked, it would be incinerated by the many of Ancient Humans artifacts possessed by the defending troop, let alone a mere Human.

then for What reason Mada should silently sneak in ? couldn't He just, You know, entered through the many main gates like a champ, the answer was, of course, first He couldn't, the reason ? He wasn't registered as a denizen of Terraria, because, if one wanted to have citizenship, They had to be born inside the walled city, in which case Mada's mother didn't achive to do so.

Se-Panjang was not by any means scarcely populated, when the inhabitants there heard that the Amoksa guards were looking for the infamous thief of the slum, They knew immediately what had to be done.....

don't get tangled up, stay out of the scene, and clear out the surrounding. while everyone already knew what fate awaited them if They failed to do so, no one wanted to talk about it, or to even mention the probable least-harsh consequence They might face from the Amoksa troops.

Quick death, it was the best outcome They possibly could get. They dared not moot over it in hope not to jinx everything, their life mattered more than that pesky little thief.

"Mada !! this wayyyy !!! move that short feet faster !!" She repeated her shouts, demanding the obvious from a boy just two years younger than her

"shut da f*ckup and just run !!!!" They picked up the pace eventhough the girl herself felt She almost run out of breath.

when Mada realized They were heading towards a dead end, He cursed inside 'goddamn it, what the fu*king crap is this !?% why would that geezer had to build toilet in the middle of passageway ?! these morons always did whatever They want !!! doesn't He have common sense that this would absolutely bother people's activit... aghhhh whatever !'

" hah... hah....hah...,w-what now?! " Rani, the teenage girl, She heavily panted her breath away to catch some badly needed air for her lungs.

Mada said, "We had to climb this toilet's wall."

"sorry to say this, seriously, no offence intended, but I'm not a monkey, unlike a certain someone." Rani non chalantly refused to climb the newly-built toilet wall.

"alright, turn Yourself over now and entertain those bastards while I climb, I will pray to the Ancient Human for Your safe return without being harrased by those d*ck-brains, see ya."

Rani stammered for a little bit upon hearing that flat and uncanny answer "You sonova b*tch !!! don't You have any shame ? have You forgotten who helped You to enter Terraria ?! aren't we friend ? "

spitefully He replied "Friend my a*s, if You are so powerful like You described yourself to be, Why don't just ask these artifacts from Your own father and be done with it? instead, You found Your way so far out of Your huge comfy nest just to ask me, a poor bum, to steal these from him, didn't You ? who's helping who ?"

She returned back his spiteful remark right away "If not for me giving a certain miserable child supplies He desperately needed, would You still be among the living You prick ?"

Before Mada fed this nonsense discussion with more tosh, He heard the sound of footsteps of their chaser.

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

The stamina and physical capability of these two kids trully were a wonder, not only did They managed to escape from Amoksa guards grasp and avoided most obstacles along the tight alley, They also outran them almost completely, and adding the fact that They succeeded navigating themselves inside this maze-like district, They seemed like prodigies trained in an elite force.

if one should get into detail, They also managed not to fall into some random sinkholes that frequently might appear in this district.

Se-Panjang was built on top of the ruin of a downtown from the late human civilization era, buried underneath hundreds of meters of snow and nuclear ash.

Technically speaking, if there's a toilet in the middle of that slum, their craps were definitely going to fall in a septic tank that was just another top-floor room of an ancient skycraper, in which hundreds of years ago, was so luxurious.

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

"Now, now, Young lady Maha, You shouldn't associate Yourself with this vile pest, it would surely stain the prestige of the esteemed Maha clan and hurt the pride of our Terraria goverment and people, don't You agree lads ?" Temür, the commander of the chasing Amoksa unit, suddenly prowl his way out of a T-junction.

His face was, let's say, quite attractive, one could even argue he was somewhat fit to be the protagonist in this situation instead of a villain from his face and stature alone. even Rani could hardly deny this statement, it's just that the boy's childish and scrawny look, who stood beside her, was a bit unpromising.

Rani turned to face the supposed assailants and gave her remark while She insidiously smiled. "I would rather associate myself with a bum than be put together with one of d*ck-heads like You."
