Chapter 18 - past dreams

Cries were heard everywhere, explosions continued to shake the world. The girl was aschva she was dumbfounded by her despair.

Within the abandoned battlefield, crumbling and messy buildings, skin-burning sunlight and a haze of nuclear radiation filled the city.

"Mother... mother... wake up mother..." the girl cried when she saw her mother who didn't seem to be waking up from her sleep.

"Huahuahua..." the homeless boy cried ugly and looked even more injured and dirty.

In that destroyed city and the corpses lying around? there are tens to hundreds of children who are exposed to a miserable life.

The endless pleas for help, crying, and sorrow! Keep ringing in that place. A place that is terrible and rotten to the roots, the abandoned continent of 'Loulos'.

and in the ruins of a fairly large building and a little girl who just silently looked at her friend who continued to die day after day.

"Little girl? Why don't you cry." Asked a man who had beautiful eyes with an old servant beside him.

"...." but the girl just remained silent and didn't answer.

"Are you hungry..."

"...."

"I brought drinks, do you want something to drink."

"...."

"Poor girl... cry, that way you won't feel guilty." The man hugged the girl in front of him.

and the girl cried loudly, even all the sadness she had suppressed and the despair she felt was released at that moment.

"Why did everyone leave me..." the girl screamed in her tears.

"Why am I alone."

"My mother, my father, my brother? everyone..."

"Why did they leave me alone in this world." He continued to cry in that embrace, and the soft caress continued to be felt on his head.

"Why must this world accommodate such cruel life." he shouted.

"You're right! There's nothing wrong with this world, but life is at fault," answered the man.

"The world shouldn't be so concerned with life... because what's the point of creating life if they are so greedy."

"Little girl, cry and pour all your last emotions into this moment." He continued saying. Then the girl continued to cry until the girl had no more tears.

A beautiful pale face, dry blue lips, and black eye wrinkles around them. The girl looked at the man in front of her with no expression and light in her eyes.

"Let's go home, Ashva..." the man said.

"A...asva."

"No... aschva, that's your name now." The man picked him up and took him on a four-wheeled carriage which was quite luxurious with all the available defenses.

"Vireen..." said the man.

"Yes, young master." Replied the servant Vireen.

"Take us both northeast." he ordered, then the chariot walked at high speed and headed towards the place he was going to.

And on that journey, the girl just stared silently at the destruction she passed, the crying and sorrow and even the corpses that continued to lie on the streets.

"Brother." the girl muttered.

"Older brother?.."

"Hmm, my brother went away, leaving me alone in this place." she continued, she continued to look at the train window and showed a reflection of his ugly face.

"Is that so..." then the man withdrew his hand and embraced the little girl again with his caresses.—"Then this time your brother won't leave you again." he continued.

"My..my brother."

"Yes, from now on I am your older brother." he answered, the man cleaned the dirty stains on the little girl's face with his hands.

"You?.."

"Hemm! My name is 'Kalvhe', your brother..." nodded Kalvhe.

"My big brother? Kalvhe.." she crumpled Kalvhe's clothes and buried his face in sadness.

Then a few hours later, and in the afternoon? they arrived at their destination, a wide ocean and protected from war. The northeast is known for its seas which have clear water and do not have a salty taste like normal seas, and because of this, the seas are protected from pollution caused by war.

"Aschva has to clean herself first, after that we will eat together." Kalvhe said stroking Ashva's head in peace.

"Mmm." Aschva nodded but she didn't release his grip from Kalvhe's hand.

"What is it?." kalvhe asked, but aschva remained silent.

"Are you afraid to shower alone?" The girl was silent.

"Hahh... okay." Kalvhe sighed and led aschva to approach the edge of the ocean.

Then Kalvhe bathed the little girl like her own child, while Vyreen was preparing the food she was going to eat.

"Now I will give your hair some shampoo, otherwise your hair will be damaged." Kalvhe said and the girl nodded.

"...." the girl looked towards where the vehicle stopped.

"What is it?."

"Smells good." Ashva answered.

"You're right, Vyreen's cooking is number one in terms of taste and aroma." Kalvhe provides the collected foam with sea water.

"Then let's eat."

"Mm.." Ashva nodded, then Kalvhe covered her with a towel and carried her, and they went back.

"Oh, young master? Have you finished bathing him?" Asked Vyreen who had prepared the food at her place.

"..." answered Kalvhe nodding, then the two of them sat down in the chairs that had been prepared.

"Young master?."

"What is it."

"Will he eat like that? At least give him clothes." said Vyreen looking at Ashva who was still covered in a towel.

"You're right, but.. do we have little women's clothes." Kalvhe replied looking at him too.

"What's wrong.." aschva spoke looking at kalvhe.

"No... use this first." Kalvhe replied, taking off the black coat covering his white shirt, and putting it on Aschva.

"This is too big..." she muttered

"Just use it for now." Kalvhe replied and the little girl nodded.

"Then let's eat." he continued, and Kalvhe ate the food, while Vyreen just sat down in her place.

Trankkk... the sound was heard and made Vyreen who was about to sit down have to look in the direction the sound came from.

"What's wrong young lady." Vyreen asked, she saw Ashva who dropped her spoon and made a mess of her food, but the girl just kept quiet and looked at her shaking hands.

"Does your hand hurt." Kalvhe asked, stopping his meal and wiping his mouth with a tissue.

"Sorry.." Ashva replied lowering her head, and Kalvhe who saw that just sighed and—"ehhh.." He lifted the little girl's body and let her sit on the table.

"Eat..." kalvhe gave the girl a mouthful, then she devoured it.

"Is it good." Kalvhe asked, and the girl nodded.

"Mm... this is really delicious." The girl answered with a smile, then the girl continued to eat the food given by kalvhe.

"Don't be too hasty." Kalvhe said cleaning the little girl's lips with a tissue.

"Thank you, brother..." he answered, Ashva wanted to cry but she realized that her tears were no longer there.

"Hmm... here again." kalvhe gives him food again.

then a few moments later they had finished eating with him, and by then it was getting late and showing very beautiful evening clouds in contrast to the terrible war clouds in other parts of the continent.

At this time they continued their journey and went to the next place, a city that was spared from the war and aimed to buy some clothes for Ashva who didn't have any.

A huge wall was visible, and the gate to the city was open. The vehicle continued to drive into it and went to a place where there was a shop selling children's clothing.

"Young master? We've arrived." Vyreen said, she got out of the vehicle and opened the door for Kalvhe.

"MarCen, yes..." Kalvhe muttered looking at a large building in front of him.

"Yes, that's right, this is the market trading center in this city." Vyreen answered.

"Then let's go in." Invite the kalvhe, then the two of them enter it with the aschva in the kalvhe's arms.

"Welcome to MarCen dear sir." The maid greeted her with a very graceful bow.

"Madam, I want to ask? Where should we find the most luxurious clothing shop in this place." Vyreen suddenly asked the female servant.

"Clothes?." answered the servant, he saw the little girl who was being carried by Kalvhe and immediately understood. - "If that's the case, sir, you have to go to block A, there is a little girl's clothing shop for nobles." He continued to reply with a smile.

"Thank you for the advice, ma'am." said Vyreen again by returning the salute.

Then they went to the place he indicated, and found a shop called 'children's fashion'.

"So this shop huh..." Kalvhe muttered, then they entered the shop together and bought some clothes for Aschva.

Until several hours had passed, now they came out of the MarCen trading center and were greeted again by the two female servants.

"Thank you for coming to shop, sir." He said, then they passed it and went where their vehicle was.

"That seems like too much doesn't it?." He saw the ten bags that Vyreen was carrying, which contained five dresses inside.

then they got into the vehicle and walked towards the place they were going to go again. then in a tall building, they stayed overnight on the highest floor of the building.

"Go to sleep... tomorrow we'll go around again." Kalvhe said stroking Ashva's hair who was lying on the bed.

"Hmm..." Ashva answered, she nodded and closed her eyes.

whereas, inside the palace and throne room? the woman woke up from her sleep..

....

"Ouch... am I dreaming." The woman muttered, Ashva woke up from her sleep. He looked around him and he remembered what happened before.

"Oh... are you awake?" Said the voice. then Ashva looked at the waiter with an unhappy expression.

"At least, can you take me to a bed like that? My body is in a lot of pain right now." Ashva replied who realized that she was sleeping in the previous place when she fell unconscious, a staircase that led to the throne chair.

"Kuhuhu... sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not the kalvhe master who will happily carry you." he replied and it surprised Aschva.

"A..can you see my dream?" he asked.

"Not just being able to see your dreams? Have you forgotten that I previously took away your memories." the waiter replied and made Ashva stunned.

"Heh... why didn't I die." He noticed it and was shocked as his eyes widened.
