A Thousand Stories: The figure of Rein

"I'll do anything to get it! He can only be mine! Not yours!!" Shouted Rein in a loud voice.

Selfishness piled up in Rein's heart. Imagining how every single thing Rein wanted and all the attention of the people Rein liked, turned to Laras. And the last thing that goes through Rein's mind is how all the attention is getting from Eren. The young man he immediately liked during their first meeting. The man who made him so eager to have it when he found out again someone he liked paid more attention to Laras than himself.

"Don't you always get everything you want?!"

Laras' body did not budge, when once again a dark-eyed shadowy figure tried to attack Laras by strangling part of his neck. Especially when Laras came forward and passed through the dark-eyed shadowy figure to approach Rein who was still raging with his emotions. The dark-eyed shadow figure was stunned and disappeared a moment after.

Laras stopped his steps exactly one step before Rein. The girl now looks different from the girl Laras has known for the past two years. Now the girl in front of him is filled with emotions and other raging feelings that are difficult to understand by anyone but himself.

"You think I always get what I want?!" furious figure Rein. His eyes were angry.

"If it's not like that, then what?"

"You always took all that away from me!!!" he shouted with a high tone of anger. "All the things that I should have gotten!!"

"You always get what I really want in life!! Attention my parents, when you're not their real child! Attention to the surrounding environment that always sees you being sweet and polite! I just show who I am! But only you are the center of attention! I guess just enough to get there, even in the campus environment you suddenly grab the attention of half the campus residents who should all be mine."

"Have you?"

Laras turned his head and asked heartlessly. Then back Laras just stared at the girl in front of him flatly. A look that seemed unaffected by what his best friend told him. He just stared straight. Nodding in understanding, then turned away leaving Rein with all his residence.

Throughout his journey, Laras continued to be stunned. Every now and then she felt that she recognized the emotions that Rein was expressing to her, but there was more that she did not understand.

He and Rein lived together for two years. Gets the same affection from Rein's parents. Although sometimes, Laras who does not remember the two years in detail, but he has a clear shadow when he was with Rein.

Step by step, Laras felt that there were many things slowly disappearing in his heart and memories. One by one, he began to feel no more. One by one the memories of the faces he knew began to appear unclear. Including the memory of Laras while with Zara, Aksara, especially Eren. All those shadows faded from Laras' memory.

On the step to so many, Laras was silent with a very flat gaze. Just as flat as when he saw the figure of Aksara falling before him with wounds. For a moment looking down at his feet, Aksara immediately rose up and disappeared just like that from before him again.

Laras was not strange about the thing he experienced, only he did not feel anything about all the things that had been going. His soul began to be filled with emptiness and voidness completely unconscious to itself.

The move was back he continued, while Rein's hand had already grabbed and turned the rough body.

"Our business isn't finished yet?!"

Rein returned irate by not getting anything from the way Laras showed his expression.

"I'll take it from you!" resolute Rein. "I will take Eren from your side and take him with me in the dark!" the voice had an echo with another voice. It was like the voice of an old witch. So shrill, heavy and raucous.

The shrill voice made Laras instantly feel attacked by something that made him lose his sight where he was standing now. A few steps back, Laras gasped to find himself in a place he could no longer recognize.

And another figure behind his back that had unknowingly been Laras hit, made the figure momentarily stand by before finally seeing who hit his back.

Aksara immediately brought Laras flying to dodge the dark attack unleashed by another Eren figure as the supreme guard with a dark soul. The same figure as the black shadow that Lass had last faced in the nameless valley. The figure of the guard who was consumed by the darkness.

Seeing the figure of Eren from a distance, Laras asked Aksara to lower himself.

"Since when?" tanya Laras did not take her eyes off the dark figure of Eren in front of him. "Since when have you entered this valley!"

"It's been a few hours!" the answer. "What's wrong?"

Barrel only went silent after. His gaze was thrown around. Realizing that he had lost all his abilities, Laras was only able to look at the figure and ask Aksara to remove his golden wings.

"Direct her attention for a while!" answer Laras later. "We don't have much time!"

After that answer came out, Laras immediately ran into the middle of the valley with the rest of the memories he had. Despite not remembering well the two figures in front of him, Laras still felt there was something he could do to stop the dark-spirited figure that had now been faced by the Aksara.

Laras steps stopped at a stone inscription next to an old tree that had fallen and left only a log and twigs. Before rubbing the writing on the stone next to him, Laras had already lost all his memories. His steps stopped in front of the stone writing. A stone with ancient inscriptions that no one understands.

While Laras was running, Aksara had already diverted every attack that led to the girl he looked at, now the girl was pensive. Stay in silence and try to convince something.

"Clearned!!" aksara shouted as an attack darted straight before his eyes. Aksara's body was thrown away from not being aware of one other attack that led to him.

The attack aimed at Laras missed. To awaken Baras from what he should do. The barrel rubbed the inscription on the stone. Taking out another stone fragment that he could reach, then scraping the writing on the stone in front of him. The inscription was the name, the name of the guard who was swallowed by darkness. The name written on the stone evaporated and disappeared along with all the darkness that came out from the body of Lain Eren as the guard.

Aksara got up and immediately approached towards Laras who was again pensive with what he was doing. The wounds on all parts of his body showed the magnitude of the attack he had obtained.

"How do you know how to stop it!" tanya Aksara was limped by holding onto one of her badly torn arms. The wound almost made his hand cut into two pieces.

"How did he get it!" mumbles Baras. "Why can it fall into his hands!!" Laras pressed the stone writing before him. He ignored all the questions that the Scriptures asked. Opened an empty portal with a faint silver-colored glow scattered with gold in the next second.

Laras' body fell. A pain attacked his heart. He looked around and found Aksara crouching before him with a body full of wounds. Laras looked at the young man with pain in mind, making Laras grip the young man's arm.

In the distance from the other side of the valley, Eren who was lying down after all the darkness had vanished from his figure, had just opened his two eyes on the side of the valley opposite the position of Aksara and Laras.

His two eyes caught the position of Aksara and Laras that looked so close. Looks different from what he thought all along. The eye blinked in a position that still felt pain all over the body. Before his eyes closed again, Eren confirmed how the current position of Aksara and Laras was.

The barrel that holds tightly to the arms of Aksara and Aksara is staring at Laras in a different way.

The sight made Eren reluctant to close his eyes. But he was too exhausted and the energy was drained. Making Eren inevitably began to lose consciousness, along with the disappearance of Laras from the presence of the character which is now made more confused with the situation presented around him.
