Meeting with King

when he fainted, ryouma arrived at the dark place

the surrounding in this place was pitch black darkness that sucked even the small light that passed through them.

ryouma didn't know why he was in this place but he must move because something calling him on the other side.

he then moved forward without knowing about something is approaching him from behind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

he didn't know how much time was spend in this dark place. but he still moved forward.

he didn't feel tired because of the training he received from his father and grandfather and they taught him about how to survive in wild for 7 days without their help.

because of that, he knew something is lurking behind him to attack him but he can't turn back because if he did that then he believed that thing behind him is going to kill him.

he was moving forward still wary of his pursuers.

then suddenly a roar like the beast was heard from behind ryouma.

ryouma now was begin running from the beast because the beast became impatient with ryouma's endurance and will. the beast thought that ryouma was going to tire himself with this long advance in this darkness that is created by it.

but it didn't expect to ryouma still have that much stamina to push forward and didn't look back in the slightest. the beast had its patience running out and then it rushed forward to capture him.

ryouma still running forward and in front of him, there was a light that was at end of this dark place. he ran toward that light with greater speed than before to reach it before he was captured by the beast.

the beast didn't expect that the light is there. so, it destroyed the dark place so it can capture him later.

suddenly the dark place was shaking and the place began to showing a crack all-around place.

ryouma became panic because now the beast resort to that. he still running with this shaking like what happened in the earthquake. but his speed became slower than before. still, the light became closer than before.

the beast when he saw that became panic and it threw some kind of rock that has some strange symbol to its body. it hoped that rock can seal his movement for a while so he can capture ryouma.

it threw that rock with some force that sound can be heard from ryouma place that sounds like a fighter jet that can reach Mach 8.

it smiled because that rock can reach it but some kind of barrier blocked that rock that threw with some force and still didn't have a crack.

then ryouma arrived at the light and he heard some sound so ominous that sound was coming from hell itself.

"rYYYYooOOOOoooUUUUuuumMMMaaaAAAaaa!!!!!!"

he became afraid and wanted to glance at the beast.

but he couldn't see the beast because he already in another place from the dark place that the beast resides.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

he arrived at some shed that had a tool for farming and odd enough this shed had a shield and spear that had a similar design to the weapon that he was using for that fight with kyuso.

ryouma became curious about the place that had this kind of equipment. he found the door that led outside so he walked to that place and opened the door.

he shielded his eyes because the shed didn't have light in there so ryouma became sensitive to light for while and his eyes became adjusted to the surrounding.

then ryouma saw this place was unique. unique is can't describe this place. after all the building in front of him is beautiful, unlike the concrete building that he always saw in his place. the building surrounding in front of him is made of a block of stone that being stack together to form the building. the building color is white and the pillar in this place is carved beautifully to support some buildings. it had the majestic feeling about it that ryouma became nervous to approach this building.

then he saw some men come from that place and one man picked his interest because that man had the same aura as the man that given him the courage to live on.

the man saw ryouma became shocked. he then approached ryouma with a smile and said this.

"well well, I never thought that you, the brave young man that fought against death is here, so what are you doing here??"

ryouma became awe because this man is much bigger than him and he had a leaderlike aura that you wanted to fight for him.

this man is 8cm meter long than him after all ryouma height is 180cm. his parent has a different reaction to his growth but let's put that aside. that man didn't wear anything in his upper body and look like European people. but different from the European that he knew this man has a regal yet fierce look like a predator and full of muscle that spoke of his hard training. around the area around his neck, there are red lines that circle around the center of his chest and the upper side of his spine that shape oval. he has red hair. some of his hair block his sharp red eyes like an eagle but ryouma think this man can see him with his hair block his eyesight. and his lower body is covered by a red corset that has gold embroidery that shaped the kite that surrounding the edge of the corset.

this man is like a warrior king that inspired his man on the front line whether it was a suicide battle or winning the battle that you always saw at a history book or historic movie that being played right now in his movie theater.

he wanted to be this kind of man because he still protected his family and friend from harm's way.

then ryouma snap out of it when that man asked him some question. then he answered him with a confused look on his face.

"well, I don't know why am I here. but I think that someone was calling me."

then ryouma look at this man. with a respectful tone, he asked this man a question that he wanted him to answer.

"please excuse me sir, but are you the one that calling me?"

then this man laughed at ryouma question. ryouma became offended at this man wanted to lash out at him but before he spoke, this man answered his question with an apologetic look.

"I'm so sorry young man. I didn't mean to mock you but I find it funny because my first and last job in this place is to answer your question or in this instance your worry."

ryouma became confused because this man apologized quickly.

then this man speak to him with respectful tone on him.

"well young warrior from the east, do you have some time to spare? after all, I know someplace that have good food and beverages. then I'm going to answer your question that still worries you."

when this man invited him for some good food then ryouma with an energetic nod and excited look answered all of this man's questions.

with a smile, he moved forward to guide him to his homeland.
