Once they arrived at a restaurant near the outskirts of a pastry shop. They looked around the restaurant which was eye-catching. Unique colorful decorations decorate the place. Gabriel sat in a chair in the corner of the room. Because there were only empty seats at the time. Not long after, a waiter came over to them and offered some menus. No need to be confused about which one to choose, because it was decided from the start that they would order BBQ. After telling the order to the waiter, they waited quite a while. And finally the red beef was right in front of them waiting to be roasted. Leo then took the meat using tongs and then grilled it on the grill.
“Wow this is amazing,” said Gabriel
"Justify. BBQ in this city is indeed the best," said Antoni
"You guys. It's just a shame," Leo said
"What's so embarrassing?" said Mckena
A few minutes later, the food was cooked and they were enjoying it voraciously. The bustling atmosphere of the restaurant made them feel a little disturbed because it was quite noisy. The other customers were just like them enjoying the roast beef. While they were enjoying their meal, it wasn't long before someone turned on the television in the restaurant so that everyone could see today's news. The reporter was doing a live broadcast at a place that was thought to be an ancient temple that had just been discovered by archaeology. The temple became the talk of various media.
"What? what else this time?” said Mckena
“A temple. So what if it's a temple. How strange," Leo grumbled
“That's because, some people in this city are unfamiliar with it. Therefore, if there is news regarding the holy place, they will be enthusiastic like that,” said Antoni while taking a sip of his drink.
"Why did it happen?" ask Gabriel
"I don't know for sure. However, there are some oddities that have been bothering me all this time.”
"What's that?" Leo said
"It doesn't feel right to talk about it here, it's better later at my residence."
"Whatever."
After finishing their food they immediately left as soon as they finished paying for their food. The location not far from Antoni's residence, restaurants and various other places made the three of them curious. Because before that never once had set foot in that place except for Gabriel who had a childhood in this city. As they walked down the bustling city street, Gabriel gazed at a building in front of him. He felt the presence of someone who made him feel nostalgic. Not only that, the aura that Gabriel felt was different from before. This time slowly, as if someone had opened it. Gabriel who had finished looking at the building then came to a place that was none other than an antique shop. When he met the seller, not long after, he showed an item which was his pocket watch.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" said the seller
"This. Do you know?" Gabriel said while giving a pocket watch to the seller.
“Hmm.... I've never seen this before. By the way, where did you buy it?”
"Antherius. In an antique shop. Are you sure?"
"Yes. This is like a clock in general. But, I think there is something strange.”
"What's so strange?"
"This is very beautiful."
"Gosh I thought why."
“If you want to sell it, I'm sorry. I can't afford it."
"I will not sell. I just want to know what kind this is.”
"OK. Is there anything you want to buy?”
"Not for now. I'm sorry."
"Yes. See you, young man."
After Gabriel left the antique shop, he then went to Antoni's residence. Indeed, there are many questions for him. The thing that might happen is where he remembers his past in this city. During his life Gabriel never remember his childhood at all. except for school. Strangely, the memory seems to be lost in the earth. Gabriel strolled down the streets of Eldelius. There the scenery is quite interesting. As soon as he saw that this city was fine, it was different from the state of Antherius, making Gabriel clench his fists in anger at the actions of those who destroyed the city mercilessly. This time Gabriel was already at Antoni's residence. There was Antoni and also Leo. They are looking for some information through the media.
"Gabriel. You're back apparently. How was your walk?” said Antoni
"Boring."
"Are you sure? I can see that you're quite enthusiastic."
"Don't make fun of me."
"Yes yes."
"Where have you been?" ask Leo
“Antique shop.”
"What did you come there for?"
"There's something I want to know. But, in vain. Just that. Oh yeah, where's Mckena?"
"Just came out," said Leo
"Oh I see."
"If you want to walk around while looking for information, go ahead," said Antoni
"No thanks," said Gabriel
"Tracking their whereabouts can only be this way?" ask Leo
"Of course. You have to take advantage of technology while it lasts. This will be very helpful.”
"This is time consuming."
"You're impatient. What are you going to do if you face them?”
“That… is something I have to confirm.”
"What's that?" ask Gabriel
"Why do you want to know?" Leo said
"Good grief. You're just getting emotional. Isn't it obvious. We came here to find that motherfucker. Then you, have a secret. It just got in the way of the plan.”
"Stop! You two," said Antoni
A small fight broke out between Gabriel and Leo. Antoni who witnessed this immediately stopped the two of them before starting to heat up. This time Mckena was in a place that looked like a karaoke place. There he was looking for the whereabouts of someone suspected of having suspicious behavior. With a disguise that was good enough for Mckena no one to recognize him. This time it went smoothly. There a group of girls are talking about a party. A conversation that didn't matter to Mckena. Because of that then Mckena went to the next place. Not far from the city center to be precise on the roof of a tall building, someone was observing the surroundings. His appearance looks normal. But that person had a mark on his right arm that was similar to the mark on the hand of the person who attacked the headquarters back then. His serious face made him quite scary.
"Wow, the weather is pretty good, isn't it," said a woman who looked like a celebrity in a luxury car.
"Are you going out?" said the driver of the car who was thought to be his assistant.
"Yes. It will be interesting. After all, fine dining is waiting for me.”
"Please be careful."
"Irritating! You don't have to lecture me Perez."
"Forgive me."
“Hohoho, there's no need to apologize. I can't bear it," said the woman with a terrible smile.
A corner of the city that looks peaceful. People are doing business as usual. However, behind all of that, there is a mystery. Gabriel who is now at Antoni's residence is helping him find various information by diving into a dark site scattered on the internet. Access to enter it is quite inconvenient. That's why it took Antoni time to enter the site.
"A little bit more. finally," said Antoni
Somewhere in the city of Eldelius. Precisely the residence of the Strauss family. Someone came to enter the castle. As soon as the man entered there he met the daughter of the Strauss family who was sitting on her throne. Seeing that person coming quickly in front of him did not make him feel afraid. The smile on Ilya's face made the person silent and just stared at him without approaching him any closer.
"Who do you think, it's you. What made you come to me?” said Ilya with a cold and sharp gaze
"I'm just saying hello."
After the person finished speaking suddenly took his hand out of his trouser pocket. In an instant a magic circle appeared and released an explosion which Ilya managed to dodge. It's not enough to stop there, the person is aiming for Ilya's head. But all of that was handled well and now that person is gone, only his skull remains as soon as Ilya uses his abilities.
"What is this? What kind of greeting makes me angry," said Ilya with a blank look
After that incident, the crows that were around the trees in the castle then flew off with their voices. The days go by so fast. the sun was starting to set. Antoni, who was still working hard, had to stop his activities for a while because his head was starting to get dizzy. Leo, who was looking at the evening sky through the window, was silent. The people who were previously busy are now no longer visible. As soon as the light of the sun replaced the darkness of the night, everyone seemed to have vanished from the surface. Mckena who already knew about this did not make him feel surprised and continued his investigation. Meanwhile, Gabriel who had just woken up from his nap felt strange at this silence.
"Antony!"
"What is it?" said Antoni
"Don't you find it strange? Why aren't people crowded anymore? The noise is now gone. What happened?"
"Calm down. All of this is commonplace.”
"What do you mean?"
“Every sun turns to darkness. That's where everyone takes refuge. They stopped their activities and were inside the shelter. You don't need to panic it's nothing."
“Actually I've lived in this town, but there's nothing like this and again, what kind of joke is that? why is there such an unreasonable rule?”
“Abyss,” said Leo
"Eh?"
“They are aware of its existence. So take refuge as much as possible until dawn."
"That's true," said Antoni
"What is it this time? Oh damn. How?"
“I understand your confusion. But this is reality. And you feel it yourself. The neighbors who were always noisy were now silent. One more thing, if you go out there you won't find anyone. Everyone leave."
"Looks like I need some time to digest all this."
Gabriel then returned to the guest room and lay down on the bed staring up at the ceiling.
