CARGEO FLAMAS (2)

It's almost midnight.

Myerlion had just woken up from his fatigue. His face still had a trace of weariness. He still felt want to doze. Only his stomach refuse to comply.

Accompanying by Jack, he gobbed his midnight snack and then had a smoke.

Both of them were talking in silent while stargazing. Somehow Jack had a feeling that Jack had just undergoing his blue moment. "Don't know why". Jack said inwardly.

" Our heart is just like the sky, when night comes, it opened up his cover so we can see many stars. The night is the best moment for people to talk from heart to heart."

"It was really dangerous to use bio-magical energy until almost completely drain." Meyrlion grumbled to himself. His voice was deep and heavy. "Feels like I just knocking in heavens door."

"Did you regret ?" Jack asked while igniting a clove cigarette. He exhaled the smoke full with enjoyment

His smoke had a strange fume, and it attracts many attentions. Including Helck who side behind the bar. He just put a step into Jack's when suddenly he saw Myerlion pull a bottle out of Jack's clothes.

"What is it Jack ? Some kind of drink ? " Meyrlion take a bottle hidden under Jack's sleeve.

"Why does your name written on the bottle ?" Meyrlion asked again. "I don't remember you had a habit drink liquor, Jack ?"

"Well, you see... hmmm.. that's a long story." Jack was been at a loss.

Meyrlion took a few gulps of Jack's drink.

"Ah... this is adults drink!," He said with an ear to ear smile. "It feels... so melancholy to me.."

"This drink is great! It told you about life, like a loyal old friend...hiks!" Myerlion start to hiccup.

Jack and Helck could only give a smile to him. Seems like Meyrlion had a lot of accumulated stress hidden inside his easygoing demeanor.

" The only one who could feel and appreciate this strong taste of this drink is someone who had undergone the bittersweet of life.. hiks ! The only one who could feel the soft taste in this drink is someone who had through the saddest moment in life.. hicks !" His smiled turn into a sad one.

Then he sobbed "Have you ever miss me, dear .."

Brak !

Myerlion fall to the ground. He got drunk.

"Oi. oi... " Jack shouted with dumb face.

Helck laugh. "Your drink are really a top-notch one, Jack. No one could resist it melancholy taste and stand its alcoholic level. Hahaha.."

"Come on, Helck. Help me. Let's bring him to the room." Jack grumbled. "If he gets sick or fever, our journey will be delayed.."

Once again both of them carry on another drunkard into the room.

He put Meyrlion and Cargeo on the same room. And ask another one for him and Tyas, since Tyas refuse to sleep alone.

Tyas sulked because she felt annoyed to be awakened from her sleep. To express her feelings, she hung on to Jack's arm.

Jack smile and stroke her hair.

Jack put an order to Helck, something good to digest at midnight.

And Tyas soon forget her annoyance, she was immersed to gobble that snacks. "Papa, Thanks !" She smiled happily.

" She's my only daughter." Jack answered Helck's questioning face.

And Helck just respond him with a simple nod. He did not dare to ask further more.

"So, Helck, What information do you had for me ?" Jack billed Helck's promised.

Helck nodded and a masked woman dress in black come toward him. She pulled out a parchment from her sleeve and give it Helck. Without a word, she walked into the dim lights tavern and disappeared.

Helck give her a nod and then open the parchment.

"You know Jack, Cargeo Flamas was not as simple as we talk before."

"What do you mean ? Keep going, Helck !" Jack said while blowing his clove-cigarette smoke.

"Cargeo Flamas was a former assassin and skilled alchemist and a poison expert work for Minister of Defence, Earl Franc Zonk. He was also former right hand of Head of Royal Advisory Council. "

"Cargeo Flamas had a gloomy and difficult childhood. He lived in a harsh life since five years old. His parents were died in the war. Cargeo Flamas had the blood of soldiers from his father and had an amazing talent of mage from his mother. "

"His bone structure is very strong like a soldier's bone structure. And his bio-magical power was overwhelming. These were why he was recruited by the Sandyakala, a top-notch assassin organization since he was six. It was a secret private company under Franc Zonk leadership."

"He was an expert in using arrows, swords, knives, poisons and black magic."

"Cargeo Flamas had numerous successful mission and quickly become a top-notch assassin. No one could be able to escape from his targeting."

"A few years later, this organization were upgrade into an elite military unit under Franc Zonk orders. This unit quickly received a good deal of recognition that they were on an equal skill as of Bhayangkara, en elite unit under King's command."

"In the age of twelve he was also was appointed as the right hand of the Royal Advisory Council which meant being Hayes's left hand and doing all the dirty work without question."

"The relationship between Cargeo Flamas, Franc Zonk and Fritz Hayes were not as simple as public saw. Franc Zonk and Fritz Hayes were the descendant of the Arta Family. The previous master of Mount Luwa and Magetan. "

"Duke Lyan Arta had committed an unforgiven crime. They collaborated Empire Jung Kulon, proactively weakened border guard forces and even helping them invade Magelang Kingdom. This happened due Duke Lyan Arta ambition to rise into the throne."

"It was very brutal battle. Even inside Arta Family divided into a few different faction conflict each other. Some faction supported Duke Lyan Arta, other one chose to loyal to the current King."

"Ferlon succeeded in revealing the evil conspiracy of Duke Lyan Arta."

"After the war end and the invader were outcastes, the remaining Arta Family who chose to loyal to the current King decide to thrown Arta name. And the King himself had bestowed a new name for them, Titan."

"While the one who choose to support Duke Lyan Arta, were only two factions remain, the descendant of Estu Zonc and Janu Hayes."

"King Magelang VII Sangga Yuda had stripped down their right. Mount Luwa include Magetan duchy becomes territory of the new Dukedom Family, Ferlon Titan. Estu Zonc and Janu Hayes were sentenced to hang. But their descendant had King's amnesty, they were let to live without any territory. Their family were given chance to atone their sins."
