Ash-boss
The Rage of the Dark Valley

It was the same wing as the Aksara's. The bone-shaped wings. Although only a little visible, Laras could not be mistaken because he often saw the figure of the character with wings like that. A dark shadow flashed in his view, and Laras could only fall into a stiff silence.

"Are you stupid?!" furious the figure of the guard stared into Laras' eyes. "Do you really want to end up in a place like this?!"

The two eyes were staring at each other but in contrast to the empty gaze of Laras. His memory was as if it were not in his body. Only a second after the guard tried to stand up from the fall with the figure of Laras, he realized they were no longer in the place before. They were now surrounded by a black fog that gradually disappeared. It shows the true place where they are now standing. It was a red brick walkway. At the end of the road there is a door known by the figure of the guard. It was a stone cave, the only road connecting this delivery place to the gray valley. Which means also, whoever meets this street, he's part of a gray valley. Either he will enter as he is white, black or gray.

"Why should the valley?" mumbling Aksara who did not expect that he would bring the soul of a person to a place that was so stifling.

The guard turned around and exchanged glances with the Aksara made even more startled. The two creatures looked at each other in disbelief. Not only because of the situation they had previously experienced, but also with the sudden circumstances they had to face together. Where the silver bells that Laras always carried sounded with his noise. It was as if it was a powerhouse for the lily of the valley around them to let out a deafening clattering sound.

"What the fuck!" The scripture immediately withdrew from its place of standing by leading the souls with it to hide under the roots of the trees near them.

Unlike the Aksara, the guard immediately held onto the powerful body of Laras who was floating unconscious.

"Hey! What have you done?!" the guard's robes tried to protect Laras' body from the incision of gold leaf flying around them. "Wakeup! Stupid girl!" The guard pulled the bell from above Laras' floating body. Immerse it just as Aksara managed to enter the golden leaf circle that fenced off the two creatures he recognized as the friend and figure of the Guard.

Aksara immediately opened the black-covered old book he was carrying. From inside the book came a light that pulled something in Laras' body to come out. It was an old man, again. The old man who came out this time was completely different. He brought such a great hatred. So profound. So that makes everything run out of control Aksara and the figure of the guard.

Barrel's body is taken over. His figure radiated blood-red eyes that were thick. Hatreds. The clothes he was wearing also changed color to be as red as blood. Darkened. Darkness immediately enveloped the entire place.

The black shadow from the gray valley instantly came out with a joyful cheer. The black shadows instantly attacked Aksara and the guard without warning. Injuring each inch of skin and the wing part of both. Until they get overwhelmed with everything. Not to mention when the body figure of Laras who crashing and flapping bat wings blood red similar to the clothes he displayed now.

The bouncing script fell against the trunk of a tree violently. In addition to the many strands of black souls coming out of the gray valley, Aksara could not help Laras and the figure of the guard in the golden leaf circle that enclosed the two.

"What the fuck is all this?!" the guard hesitated. Reluctant to attack back the figure that is now crashing with all weapons in the form of spiky black ice crystals. The guard was silent for a moment, calming down from all the sudden things that were happening out of his control. He displayed for a moment Eren's face which was accompanied by the figure of the guard behind him. "Clearned! Be aware!" the shout momentarily brought Laras' action to a halt, but again struck a ruthless attack as the black shadow of the gray valley flashed past him quickly.

The chaos is becoming. The attack from the gusts of gold leaves slashed every soul that was in its fight at that place. The clinking of the lily bell flower of the valley is increasingly deafening. Coupled with the wrathful hiss of the black shadows who voiced victory.

Eren is back. He held it tightly to the silver bell which he took from Laras' body. His clenched hand opened and let the light from the silver bell dazzle the place that was filled with darkness. Eren raised the bell, rang it, and counterattacked all the black shadows of the gray valley to retreat to its original place.

Aksara. Now he freely entered the circle of Golden leaves that destroyed every place on the path of the red brick. He stood beside Eren. A little surprised to see the guard showing his face to a human figure. But these humans are no longer humans who can recognize anyone. From the way he looked, saw, and silently watched, the figure of Laras in a red dress as thick as blood was ready to launch an ice crystal with a tapered tip.

"It looks pretty troublesome!" gumam Aksara's.

"He's being controlled!"

"Yes!" answer Aksara. "The spirit harbors a deep hatred."

"Can you find the spirit's record?"

"Unfortunately, the note was on him."

Off guard, an ice crystal hit Aksara's right arm and scratched Eren's left cheek.

"It's not time to talk!" Eren smiled wryly.

The two young men prepared for the next attack, but one thing stopped all of the attacks.

It is the soul that the Aksara wants to deliver. An old mother with her chocolate stick. Her hair is gray. His eyes narrowed, but he smiled warmly.

"Is that you father?" his voice was a little heavy to continue with the next sentence. That soul figure just walked slowly towards his front. In front of the figure of Laras who is now silent sculpting. A soul figure came out from the body of Baras. The soul of an old man who had been seen out of Laras' body by another figure Eren.

Instantly all the black shadows and the aura of darkness that existed faded from that red brick path. The situation becomes as quiet as usual. All that was heard was the melodious groove of several tree branches, the breeze, and the sound of the lily bell flower of the valley that was so harmonious.

"You don't think you'll ever see your mother again." said the old man, holding the old woman's hand warmly before him.

"Are you kidding me?" the old woman smiled as she put on her glasses. "Mother waited for you all along."

"How was mom all this time? Did anyone hurt my mother? The kids? Are they still stubborn kids?"

"After the departure of the father." and the story passed behind the fog that led to the gray valley.

Aksara and Eren were silent with what happened.

"Can such a thing erase such great hatred?" Aksara muttering.

"Grey soul has increased." Eren returned to his figure as the guard.

"when it was more human your figure."

Ignoring Aksara's speech, the figure of the guard again pinned the silver bell-filled hair bracelet on Laras' right wrist which was now limp unconscious.

Laras' black-coated old book opened and sucked out all the hatred and anger that had raged in that place. Bringing him back to the page of the book that was immediately locked once all the air was sucked in.

"One more life has come out of his body." The script picked up the black-bound old book. He noticed the figure of Laras who was always unconscious when every soul came out of his body.

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"When he lost control of himself? Ja. It's only the first time I've dealt with something like this." The script flipped through the black-covered old book belonging to Laras.

"He is the exception." The guard picked up Laras. Along the way, Eren and Aksara did not say anything. They simply walked down every street of the red brick path with all the incision wounds fading at each step.

"Good healing." murmured Aksara.

"He shouldn't be alive." the guard said. "He must carry out all his destiny..." The keeper

"She's not in a life and death notebook. I don't know what I'm better off doing in this."

"Let him continue his task until the end, he will find the path of his destiny."

"But I still don't agree you brought him to that valley!"

The guard smiled.

"If every creature could choose their way of life."

The three figures disappeared in that endless street.
