Ash-boss
The Curse of the Dusk Stone Ring: Memory Thread 2

Traveling around the valley looking for a figure of himself using a different form of figure, he said, Laras stopped his steps when he saw a shadow coming out of the bushes on the side of the forest a valley with lily of valley flowers that filled the streets along the forest.

The barrel when it was silent stiffened for a moment watched itself coming out of the bushes with a completely chaotic state.

The other figure Laras from behind the bushes stared tiredly, and Laras looked increasingly in disbelief. He looked at the figure of himself with a messy look and slightly burnt clothes the rest of the battle. Many leaves, twigs, and cobwebs are attached to her hair. Her face was cut-off with some black makeup smeared on her cheeks and arms.

"I survived" he said, falling unconscious in his own arms. He himself took a different form. A female figure dressed as a small boy, pigtailed in two with her forehead covered in white ribbons.

For some time, the figure of Laras as a petite woman was taking care of herself who was in her true self. For a long while, Laras' body still showed no sign of consciousness. Until the rain flushed and made his artificial tent washed away by rain water.

Another figure Laras carried himself through the middle of the forest in the rainstorm. Some of the bodies of both were toppled down due to slippery roads. Almost hit by a broken tree branch hit by a lightning strike, and worse, fell into the abyss because of a wrong step. The barrel in another form finally cried out in annoyance.

"Whisper!" said the original figure of Laras who finally realized in the middle of the storm on the edge of the steep ravine. The figure smiled sweetly while hugging another figure of himself that he did not recognize.

"I'll take us up!" one stroke of his hand on the face of another figure himself, Laras carried both of his figures stranded on the riverbank together.

The gurgling of water and dazzling sunlight brought awareness to the two figures. Both of them opened their eyes while holding hands, they smiled brightly knowing they had finally survived all the disasters that occurred all night yesterday.

Trickering, the two walked down the river after noticing a puff of smoke downstream. Sure enough, there was a village. A village that is holding a festive festival.

Every corner of the village is decorated by various flower arrangements. Fruits and harvested produce are available at the village entrance and are distributed free of charge to any passing traveler or hiker.

Seeing the condition of two girls who are messy and chaotic with my eyes and stomach rumbling, the villagers invited the two to stay for a while in the village.

"Are you lost?" ask the village elder while asking some other residents to bring them food.

Strictly another figure Laras nodded. Wishing they could get a temporary place to stay while recuperating. While the true figure of himself is only silent.

"You stay here to recuperate" said the village elder. "And eat this meal and rest."

"Thank you." answered Laras' true figure. He looked towards another figure of himself whom he did not recognize. "Thank you." she said to her figure.

"No need." he answered.

"Let's eat!"

Another figure himself nodded. They sat in the room enjoying the food that the villagers were serving. While enjoying the night, they look out the festival area from the room they occupy.

"Who should I call you?" ask another figure Laras who is also curious about his real name.

"Name?" laras' true figure repeated the question.

The other figure nodded. "I'm Rui." she said.

"I.." momentarily lowered his head, the figure then began to feel dizzy and nauseous at the same time.

"Why you?" another figure who claimed to be named Rui approached his true figure and found a curse mark on the back side of his true self's neck at that time.

Rui took a step back. It's the curse of the dark realm. The curse he got from the fight with the seal of darkness under his guard. Then added to the existence of the figure of Rui who should not be around. Rui sat down.

He only has two choices here. End his life and let his true figure live, or destroy his true figure to then unite with his figure disguised as Rui.

But if he were to carry that out at this time, then their cycle of existence would repeat itself back to the existing gap of fate. That is, Laras will return to this point to repeat his present life.

"Why?" tanyakanya. "Is my age not long?" ask her true figure to Rui.

"I don't remember it." the answer instantly hit Rui in the face. When the true figure does not remember who he is, then he only has a second choice to do.

Is that possible? The risk I take will lead to even greater things later. Except...

Rui's figure looked at her true self calmly the next day. Sighing several times, Rui's figure decided to help her true figure to find her own identity.

Hearing every time the festival event, the villagers will come to the interior of the forest, Rui chose to wait for the right moment to restore the memory of his true self which is now more familiarly called Amarylis by the villagers.

Every time the festival is prepared, Rui always proposes that he and Amarilys will pick flowers into the middle of the forest. Hope he finds a clue in the middle of the forest.

But until the festival in the third year, everything is nil. Even Rui and Amarilys enjoyed their time together with the villagers.

"Why is it like this?!" said Rui gusar. He looked at the shining sky. Letting the light come upon his face and restore his memory of the supreme Judge passing by.

Walking along the river with Amarilys, Rui found a black-clothed creature stranded on the riverbank.

As soon as the body of the victim was washed away, Rui increasingly felt cornered by the fate that lived in the thread of memory of the china wine jug.

Rui bowed limply for a moment before discovering the fact that forbidden flower cider powder glowed between her true figure and the supreme Judge.

"Can it be worse than this?!"

Rui and Amarilys inevitably carried the figure of the supreme judge back to the village and took care of him inside the house that the village elder had provided for them to live in.

A brief and unusual introduction. The figure of the highest judge who introduced himself as Eren instead gave the figure of Amarilys with the name Laras.

Chaos that only Laras knows as the figure of Rui, makes Rui start to stay away from his true self. Hope Eren figure is able to break the curse embedded in his true figure.

Day change day. Time after time passed without any meaningful change except for a feeling that emerged from the forbidden flower pollen that had been attached to the figure of Rui since the gaze for the first time with the figure of the guardian judge.

Sari powder attached to Rui is more inclined to feelings of neglect and jealousy, so there are seeds of emotion that arise when seeing his true self together with the figure of Eren.

Especially since the first flower festival of the three of them. Rui's figure felt ignored and ignited the unbearable flames of jealousy. It was getting bigger and bigger in the mind of Laras as the figure of Rui. Indicates, the first choice is what Rui must run to be able to get out of the chaos.

Waiting for an opportunity at the festival in the next season, Rui who already knew the place that became the fighting point of his true figure began to visit the place. Intending to lock the dark figure under his guard with the figure of Rui, the darkness instead penetrated and attacked the jealousy and hatred that grew from the forbidden flower pollen powder on the figure of Rui.

A choice that really ends unexpectedly. Upon seeing Eren's true self-saving figure, Laras's other figure as Rui instantly ignited the darkness to attack him. Rui's goal is to end his life to restore the memory of his true self that is currently fixated on the true figure of the supreme Judge of the valley of death.

Realizing that there was something in him that churned at Rui's sacrifice, Laras' true figure rose with his memory as the guardian of the seal of darkness. Amidst all the choices, Laras realizes that the choices he made have killed a part of him.

Getting the last attack from his own true figure, Rui immediately unleashed a curse on Laras who is his true self to erase the memories associated with the forbidden flower pollen powder about him.

"This is a punishment and also a reward for your life."

The sentence broke the thread of the memory of the barrel. Reawakened him to a small, dark room he occupied.

"Rui.." murmured Laras saw the figure hovering around him. "I finally recognized you..."

Laras stretched out his fingers to absorb the shadowy figure of darkness that he finally recognized after thousands of years.

"I've had too many adventures.sorry!" laras looked at himself in front of the mirror.
