Ash-boss
Traces of Destiny.

The disappearance of the body and soul of Laras on the path of the red brick led to a special impression for Eren and Aksara. Since that time, everything has returned to its duty. The scriptures still enjoy its journey in bringing forth the multitude of souls either who die in peace or who are lost in its journey.

Different from Eren. Darkness again accompanies Eren's journey in maintaining the balance of each valley of death. His figure robed in ragged ashes camping with embers on every part of his body always passed to every valley under his care. Occasionally in some time, Eren still likes to visit the dark valley called the gray valley.

From the outside, the valley still looks very dark, gloomy, dark, and creepy. No more was there the sound of hissing or the shrill sound of screaming from within the valley that was tightly closed by the thorny bushes that circled the side of the valley to the end of the sky.

In Eren's mind, that place was already a barren valley with no gaps in life. Every part of the valley had turned into ashes and evaporated into the bleakest darkness.

"It's still as bleak as the last moment" said Aksara who had just landed her footstool beside Eren.

The two looked over at the entire valley door which was tightly shut by the twists of thorny shrubbery. Pay attention to every detail of the bush that has not undergone any changes at all.

"There is no soul in it anymore."

Eren stared deeply and wished there was a slight gap that could make him enter the valley without having to injure his soul and destroy his body.

"This is the only valley sealed by the destruction of the guardian of the valley." Zara.

Still wrapped in a black dress that follows all the curves of his body, Zara closed the flapping of the wings on his back.

Zara glanced at Eren who was still speechless. Eren's freezing has long been felt by Zara. His journey was meaningless after a forbidden figure named Laras vanished in the streets of the red brick after removing all the souls who chose to dwell on the body and soul of the girl.

"What can we do if every one back here still looks the same?" Zara chattered then turned around as she flapped her wings wide again. With just one flap, Zara had already disappeared from the side of the two youths who preferred to turn around casually and enjoy another trip out of the side of the valley door.

From the dark path to the other, Eren and Aksara passed through the various sides of the valley. There were several other valleys that they passed before the gray valley at the end of the place they visited.

There is a valley of nothingness. Every soul from the valley of emptiness is a soul-dweller from other valleys who has entered its highest knowledge. Those who enter the valley of emptiness are those with a degree of detachment from that good attachment to debt of gratitude, debt of promise, vengeance, and other attachments of love and affection.

The valley of tribulation. This valley is without inhabitants. The valley called the valley of punishment. Usually the valley of tribulation will suck not only every soul but the figure of the guard was not separated from the laws of the tribulation valley. Where the soul of each creature can reach purity or increasingly fall into darkness that throws it into the valley of emptiness, the valley of reincarnation or into other valleys.

Next there is a valley of happiness with a lake that surrounds every corner. The valley of happiness is the only valley with all its regularity that brings beauty to every corner of its place. In the valley there were all kinds of flowers and fruits. Waterfall that empties into a clear lake. The lotus flower adorns the middle of the lake and all of it becomes a beautiful scenery of its own from every soul of the inhabitants of the valley of happiness.

Flower valley. The valley is inhabited by almost every plant soul that exists either in the world or the plant soul that exists in every valley.

Floating valleys are multi-level. Floating Valley has nine levels and each level has guards and inhabitants with different soul levels. Each level of floating valley also has different scenery and different rules.

The reincarnation valley was the last valley they passed through before arriving at the red brick walkway. Both steps stopped. The whispers from the soul ranks on the reincarnation valley made them turn their gazes.

If it's the valley of reincarnation, maybe they know where the souls are going. But if it was the guardians of the inhabitants of the valley, where did the soul disappear? No one can find the answer. Because the turn of time and the rotation of life in the valley never seen changed or replaced as in the dark valley named gray valley.

The only valley with a guard figure. When the guard disappeared, the valley sealed itself. There was no sign of any other inhabitants in the valley. The gray valley had souls inhabiting so many valleys, it was also an exception to the gray valley. It could be said that the dark valley named gray valley became a special valley because of its strong valley character and is not owned by other valleys except the reincarnation valley.

Eren stopped once again his footsteps on the side of the Reincarnation valley. Looking back at the figure of two guards who had collided with him when he mistakenly thought that they had come to eliminate Laras at the end of the hill behind the yard where he disguised himself as a student.

"Is it possible that his soul fragment was carried into this valley!?" Eren tries to read the possibilities of the twist of the fate wheel of every soul ever born into the world.

"If his figure was indeed born as a human, maybe he would pass through this valley several times...." Aksara. "But if he's a guard, he'll only end up in the three valleys we just passed." Aksara.

Where he fell into the valley of misery for taking revenge he had by dragging one soul into the valley of tribulation. It was one of the souls he should have delivered to his final journey. A script that neglected its duty, immediately fell into the valley of tribulation and had lost the feather-books from its wings. Though the soul should be reincarnated again to be the most hated thing if experiencing rebirth. Aksara smiled shyly considering her mistake as she looked at every inhabitant of the reincarnation valley.

Looking at the rotation of the reincarnation wheel of each soul coming out into the side of the valley, Eren imagined the soul of the figure of Laras mingling in one of the souls preparing to pass through the door of reincarnation.

There were some gray-colored souls interrupting at some other white souls. And that gray soul became the center of Eren's attention. As if something was seizing Eren's mind from the gray soul mingling with the white soul in the valley, he was fixated on the shadows of some of those gray souls continuing to cross Eren's mind afterwards.

"What do you want?" Aksara sneered jokingly. "Wish he was in one of those soul rows?"

"It seems so..." Eren shifted his gaze from that gray soul towards his front. Returning to continue his journey, Eren kicked Aksara's legs who continued to try to taunt him because he continued to hope that Laras could come back in his life again.

Aksara's laughter broke, making Eren cluck annoyed by walking up to each other and elbowing each other.

Their voices echoed across the entire reincarnation valley and forced all the inhabitants of the valley to look towards them from a distance.

The sight became a separate memory of a pair of large round eyes mingling with white souls in the valley of reincarnation. Her eyelashes look flat and firm. The color of his eyeballs is blue-gray. And of all the striking things of that soul was the gray shadow of his soul. Smile them. He walked towards the door of reincarnation once the path for him opened.

"Wait for me, Eren!"

The voice echoed in Eren's ear. Making him turn to the dimension behind him, as soon as he set foot on the path of the red brick with the figure of Aksara.
