THIEVES
1. The Blood Boiling

huh, huh, huh..."

with breathless breaths, a little child less than a day old was standing under the torrent of rainwater.

yeah, he's a kid, but he's only one day old...

...°°°°°°°...

Wood Warehouse

ea, ea, ea, ea," cries from a newborn baby.

It should have been the happiest day, it should have been, but unfortunately, he was not born at the right time. Because of the poor condition of his family, he must be killed, or hidden.

Why can it be, because in this place, precisely in all parts of the world, there are absolutely no rules, here it only applies, who is strong, He who wins.

Strong, but it does not mean from the physical alone, from treasures, intelligence, offspring, or others. But what everyone feared the most was, the one who had the Grace.

Yes, not separated from the fantasy story in general, in this world also has a supernatural power, but not magic, but pure power becomes a blessing of his own, or the result of a very long exercise.

And that's the situation of the Family of the Baby, They have nothing, can live was arguably very lucky, yes despite having to pay very high taxes, to get a life.

Why should their babies be thrown away, or should they be killed? simple answer. The owner, or generally the king, He applies the rules of his realm, every Baby born on the 5th day, in every new month, the child will be the source of his Grace power.

If they do not want to, then they have to pay 5 times the tax than they should. If you do not want to give tax money, it means that the child must die as food from the Owner.

.

They have absolutely no money, even for the House, They go with other residents, who both have no place to live, in a wooden warehouse, which is ready to collapse at any time.

Their last option, is to leave their children alone in the forest, and their chance of life is only 30%, because of the many Illusory Animals that live there.

Before deciding on that, of course, there was a lot of talk from the two of them, as the Father and Mother of the child, especially He was Their first child.

Deep sorrow and pain, gnawing on Their chests, to the tightness, even the tightness, until their tears could not bear the pain, and flowed ceaselessly.

.

They could not wait for the time to roll any longer, because the Owner already knew that their child was born.

With a heavy heart, they finally tried to give up their first child, to live alone in the forest.

Surely it is difficult to get out of the Warehouse, because the people of the Owner's company, guard his territory. But, thanks to the help of the entire Warehouse occupants, they managed to escape into the forest.

With a black cloud clearly visible in the dark night sky, a speck of rain fell down on those who were running.

But amazingly the Baby, He did not cry at all, after his first cry at birth. Many shocks and splashes of heavy rain water did not frighten him at all.

He seemed to understand, with the condition of his parents, and the look on his face, it looked like he was very resigned to his difficult destiny.

lizard, lizard," the sound of the water ripples they were stirring rang out loud, so quickly They ran.

The pain felt by his mother, very painful, He was very strong, hugging his son tightly, He ran, and left a trail of blood, which flowed through his weak legs.

It took them some time until they reached the depths of the forest. They complain of fate there, and hope, that there will be a miracle that accompanies his family.

byars!" The sound of a violent thunder explosion echoed through the air, and managed to make the boy's father fall down.

When He tried to rise, and intended to follow back his wife...

ctar..!!!" A huge flash of electricity grabbed him, leaving not a single piece intact. Everything was charred, even his blood was boiling by that electrical explosion.

arrrggghhhh no...!!!!" Seeing her Husband being roasted, she screamed. But there was no time for her to mourn the fate of her Husband, he immediately ran away, leaving her scorched.

Why did he run? because He knew, it was not an ordinary electrical explosion, but rather an explosion that resulted from the Owner's Grace.

The look on his face turned very panicked, other than thinking about his Husband who was struck earlier, He also thought about the people in the Warehouse, because They had helped him to escape, they must have died without rest by now.

.

craak, craaak, craak.. brak!" Because of the slippery road due to the clumping mud, he slipped, then fell rolled in a fairly high ravine.

srek srek srek!" He rolled back and hugged his son very tightly.

sraaach!" With a short time, he managed to get to the bottom of the abyss.

Namun, seberapa sakitnya yang Ia rasakan, berapa banyaknya darah yang bercucuran, itu tidak membuatnya berhenti, Ia langsung bangkit kembali, untuk meneruskan langkahnya.

dwarrr!" The sound of the sky's thumping was heard clearly deafening his ears.

With limited time, he decided a difficult decision, which was to wash his son, in the river not far in front of him.

sreeek.." While walking near the River, He took a large leaf, shaped like a tuberous leaf, but large and very wide.

The leaves can hold a weight of more than three kilograms, and can float on a flat surface of water.

"Your name is Nadi, Mother and Father's favorite child, You must be able to live, hopefully You can find happiness there.hiks." Said his mother, then kissed her forehead.

sets!" With the look of a suffering face, he smiled faintly. He pushed his son slowly to leave immediately, following the fairly swift river flow.

ctarrr!" shortly after He let his son go, He was struck by the Owner's Electric Explosion.

And now, his body was charred without any remains, along with his boiling blood, visible tear crystals, from the corner of his eyes that were slowly blistering.

...°°°°°°°°...

ctar...byar...dwarrr....!!!" The sound of anger from the thunder did not immediately vanish, and it was still heard until the sunlight penetrated the earth.

.

With the speck of rain that still did not stop, Nadi's eyes opened.His body was only wrapped by two thin sheets of cloth, and He was still floating slowly in the flow of the overflowing River.

Whether this can be called lucky or not, but because of the overflow of water, Nadi can be carried on land by the current that leads to it.

Although He had stopped floating in the River, his survival was still in danger. How not, a baby who has just been born, has been tossed by the river, and in the rainwater all night.

Perhaps, all his luck had been used to survive that night.

.

the clod of the brain, the brain of the brain, yahh!" Shouted a speeding horseman.

The Horse-Cart was the property of a Thief, He took many potions from an Owner in the Land of Opposite, for He was being pursued by the men of the Owner of the Potion, now, He carried his Horse Car very quickly through the heavy rain curtain.

Do you think the Thief will save Nadi? The answer is no, how to save him, He took his Train without seeing the path he passed.

And because of the Thief's haste, the chariot He was carrying shook violently, and as He passed Nadi, a bottle of solid brown potion, fell down and hit Nadi's forehead hard.

As a result, the blood from his brow poured out profusely, and along with the rain water's stub, the blood flowed, and soaked Nadi's body entirely.

Meanwhile, the Horse-Cart of the Thief had already gone away, down the torrent of rain, who did not know when to stop.

Not long ago the Thief Train darted far away, even his blood was still flowing, but who would have thought, it turned out that the liquid from the potion, flowed in through the gap of the wound on his forehead.

As for the rest, it flowed along with the blood carried by the flow of rainwater, which managed to wet the entire small body.

Moments later, the blood left in his body boiled, causing Nadi's skin to blister due to the heat of the blood.

cshhhhhh...!" the sound of blood boiling, forced to cool down by the rainwater, and caused thick white smoke to cover his entire body.

And strangely, the rain that should have died down from earlier, even returned to thunder along with loud thunder.

dwaarrr!.draaa...!" Thunder sounds that sound like they collided with each other up there.

slassshh...!" A dazzling bolt of lightning struck the white smoke.

drrtt, drrrtt, drrt...!" static electricity was dancing to break up the smoke to spread immediately.

What should be Nadi's body is no longer left, but miraculously, he even has a new body. Slowly the body was like an enlarged, static electricity that was seen dancing it, clearly visible circling his enlarged body.

Perhaps if converted in time, the phenomenon occurred about thirty minutes. Then, his body stopped growing, as he was like a nine-year-old.

Clean white skin that is clearly visible, without wearing a single piece of cloth that covers his body. His face looked like someone who had just run 100 km away.

Yes, very tired, the look of a tired face was clearly engraved on her small face. Slowly, he opened his eyes, then tried to turn his back on his back.

As He turned his body, his hair, which was originally bald, now grew slowly.

And after successfully reversing his body, he then tried to lift his body to stand up...

brak!" He fell down, like a newborn giraffe, trying to stand up repeatedly.

brak! brak!..brak!" repeatedly Nadi tried to get up. And after that much experiment, He paused for a moment while falling on the puddle of water that He made.

After gathering his strength, He tried to get back to his feet, and finally, after much He tried, He could stand up straight.

huh, huh, huh..." With a very small voice, he gasped.

While gazing weakly at the spot where he was lying earlier, and with the rain still pouring down, without him noticing, his tears slipped out quickly.

He did not know the reason for tears, but the tightness in his chest, like wanting to meet someone.

Someone He Himself does not know who it is, but the longing He feels is real.
