Dark Lake part 2 : Just Dark

Kelfin stared at the picture in front of him, "who?" He tried to remember but couldn't. In the picture many people can be seen, but he can't get rid of his focus on that one person. 

As if the kelfin knew him very well. And without him knowing it, he shed tears, only in his left eyes. He is sad but why? 

Instantly, Kelfin realized the sound of footsteps was no longer heard. Kelfin quickly began to be alert, turning his head left and right to make sure there was no him. 

"Thank goodness there isn't" 

"I have to keep moving to get away from him."

Kelfin began to step away. And as long as he walked, no sound of any kind was heard. Worries Kelfin, where is she? Has she been so far away that she has not been heard? Let's hope so. 

"Damn, it's quite dark!" 

But fortunately, thanks to the shining kelfin necklace, he can see a little clearly. The necklace shines brightly enough to make him look around. 

As he goes, everything seems to be destroyed not because of age but from what looks are because of burning. But when Kelfin looked at the unburned side, he knew very well that this place used to be very magnificent. 

5 minutes passed.

10 minutes passed.

20 minutes passed.

Kelfin still walked without finding anything important. It's just room by room. Sometimes he finds a garden indoors, sometimes a library or office seems to be. 

"Window?"

"I'd better try turning my head" 

When he looked outside, he was surprised to find that he had not fallen to the bottom of the ground. When he looked down, he saw a ground bed filled with many other castle beds. 

"So did I just fall in the yard?"

"....." 

Kelfin's face was slightly startled, but he realized something. He realized how vast this place was. So he calmed down a bit, because this area is very likely that he will not meet that figure again. 

He thought…

He had been walking here and there for hours, but nothing he could find. Exit? It seems impossible in this dark time. And without him knowing it, he was already sitting by the window. Staring at the cityscape in the rain that day. 

And not for long…

He fell asleep… 

Because it's so exhausted… with wounds that were fortunately held back by black roots. 

…

…

…

7 hours later. 

…

…

…

"huahhh hah huh" 

Kelfin woke up a little shocked. He saw the surroundings still the same and nothing dangerous was seen. But he asked a little question? 

"How it heal up?"

"Maybe the black root that took it" 

"Thank you"

Kelfin began to stand up again. He looked back at the scenery. 

"It's still raining huh" 

He looked at the city from a distance and even though he had been asleep for a long time, it was still dark. 

"krukkk" (belly sound).

Kelfin held his stomach, his yesterday's wound was no longer felt. And when he saw, the wound was no longer there.

"Huh! How come?" 

Kelfin asked questions, and he thought of the black roots that healed his wounds. "Thank you very much".

Kelfin smiled and began to strode away. Looking for the kitchen, looking for food. 

In the long hallway.

(Krukkkk). 

"I'm so hungry"

"But where should I look? There are only rooms, libraries, and flower gardens"

"Do I have to jump again, yes, to get to the bottom"

"No, it's a very bad idea, what if anyone sees" 

Kelfin walked aimlessly, he could only hope he found food, whatever it was, fruit, vegetables, or rice. 

Kelfin began to fall silent when in front of him were three intersections. He was confused about where to go. 

"Just go straight dah" 

Kelfin walked straight ahead, when he wanted to step on his feet. There was a voice on his right. 

The sound of something falling. Rolling.

Kelfin quickly lowered his head and hid behind the flower vase table. From between he tried to peek, and he was shocked.

Kelfin quickly ran towards the voice. He was happy and smiled. 

"humpppp thank goodness…."

It turned out that something just now Just an apple fell. And when he looked towards the source of the fall of the apple. He was even more excited to see an apple tree. 

He quickly went there. Eat a few apples until the hunger is not felt. While eating the fruit, the kelfin smiled gratefully. 

"Thank goodness…" Kelfin shed tears slightly. 

Kelfin quickly picked some fruit to take away and put it in his shirt pocket. 

"This is enough… Now I have to move again" 

Kelfin went on his way to reach the exit that was somewhere. In the dark, he walked with the source of illumination of his necklace. 

Around the hallway near the round way. 

…

…

…

While out there, the rain is still heavy. The giant monster in the lake moved around the lake. While the creature in the city with blue eyes only kept looking at the rainwater falling. 

Like they were waiting for it. 

From the sky, the rain continued to rumble. With extremely loud lightning. From the side of the city, at the opposite end of the lake, something very much appeared. 

They were all fully dressed like knights. But something is very different. 

That is… Their limbs are tattered. Their eyes were the same color as in the opposite city, blazing blue. In combat clothes and weapons, he was also stained with something black, hard. 

Their faces or skin didn't look anything, there was just darkness. It was as if they were between life and death and merged with the darkness of the night. 

But strangely, they also did the same, staring at the rainy sky. When one of them turned to the castle. The tree, that grew around the castle, also bloomed red and black. 

…

…

…

Back to the kelfin who was getting upset, never found a way out. He ruffled his hair while annoyed at thinking of a way out down. 

[Unbeknownst to him from afar, someone was looking from a chair].
