The Search for Freedom

Lil We appeared several feet at a room with green-painted door and yellow curtains hanging inside the windows that are made of glass. It seemed to be my first time having a fight in this kind of place if it happen that the sun man would fight me. Definitely, he have two choices, which were to die or to die hard. A man like him, I knew that he will choose to die hard than to die without fighting at all. If there was someone who would ask me to choose between the two; certainly, I'd die hard, I better die while fighting than dying without fighting.

"Are you sure that the sun man is here?" Cain asked curiously. "Uh-huh, why you are asking me that?" I asked back.

"If you are really sure that he is here, how did you know that?"

"If I tell you, there is nothing for you to discover," I replied.

"I am old in discovering things, why won't you just tell me?"

"Why won't you just open that door?" I tried changed the topic.

"If you don't want to tell me, then that is just okay, but let me tell you that there is nothing can be hidden forever."

"I know that, man."

His black robe was swinging as he walked towards the door.

"I am already old for you to remind me that," I added.

If it happen, I could be the one to break that words, or it happened that someone already broke that words. Millions of people in this world, had millions of secrets too.

Cain knocked on the green-painted door, he seemed to motivate someone to open it. I didn't know why he need to knock on that door if he could go wherever he wanted. I didn't know what was happening to him. I didn't know why he didn't know that the sun man was here, though he was the one who search the man and it only took him a short time.

It came to my mind that he could not help me if his power would not work; therefore, I abruptly went towards him and teleport us in behind the wall by the stairs of the same building.

"Oh Lil, why did you brought us here?" He asked, appalled.

Because of my father's comment "Birdbrained" -the kind of word which-or telling something or someone as stupid or someone that was not thinking about something, such as believing to someone's alibi, hearsay, wrong information, or anything else that made someone capable to be called stupid, it made me think about my family, as I said the word to Cain. I remembered how they fight for my goodness, which sometimes turned onto dispute, but whatever dispute intercedes between them or us, we would never hate each other. Jay and Leona, I really miss them. I also miss my Cyril, I hope that she was just okay. What kind of life I had, I didn't know why it had to be like this.

I came back to my senses when Cain said in my ear, "Hey Lil, I was asking if why you brought me here, but you did not answer me. It seemed that you fell out of kindness. Will you tell me what you was thinking?" "Uh..." I hesitated. As I don't want to show weakness to Cain.

"I just want to ask you how you could help me if your power does not work? How you will help me in killing the sun man if you are so weak and you don't even know that he is here?" I was curious.

"Do you think I will go with you I don't know that?" Cain asked. "Why you are saying that I am so weak this time? Don't you ever think that you are weaker than me? Huh?" He bragged.

"Sorry mister strong and powerful, but I am the one who was asking you about how could you help me defeating the man?"

Cain sighed. "I don't know," the only words came from his lips.

"See? You don't know... why we are going to attack the sun man if we cannot defeat him without your power?" I asked.

"We will need to wait for the night to come, because darkness can help us. Let me asked you how you can finish your mission without me, as you are just relying on my power?"

The darkness could help us? Was that a connotation? How could he say that? Maybe he meant that his power would work if the evening come.

"I don't know, what I only know is that I need to finish this mission for my freedom. I knew even I would not do this, destiny will push me or pull me like a magnet, you know, towards this thing. It is unavoidable. I better die fighting without fighting at all."

"How can you fight them if you are just relying on my me?"

I want to avoid his question that seemed to make me feel inferior. "You are just repeating the question. You better tell me how we could defeat the sun man at this situation?"

He sighed. "I told you, we cannot defeat him if we don't have any power, we shall wait the darkness to come. Do not worry to much because after a few moments, my power will work again," Cain replied.

I was curious. "What do you mean by darkness?" I asked.

"I meant, the dawn, that is the darkness," he explained.

Cain was right, we definitely need to wait some minutes before we could attack the sun man, because we will just burnt if we don't have power to use against him. It came to my mind to practice water magic and that I can use this magic to fight him, as it can protect us to get burnt.

"Don't lost hope Lil, I am sure that we can kill him before the daybreak."

He put his hand above my shoulder with a bit force. Something that telling me not to give up, that I could. It made me remember my best friend France. I didn't know what was happening to him, if what he was doing. I wondered if he was just okay, did he came back to school, or he didn't care about the world anymore? Did he remembered me too, as I remembered him, or he already forgotten me? Maybe he just considered me as a part of the puzzle, which means a part of his past life, which tells me to consider him as that too. Everything in my past were just a portion, though it was the reason why I am here, I could not turn back the time.

"Um... Lil, you are lulled there... Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing, I just need to be quiet because if not, the sun man can noticed that we are here. Our plan will fail if that happen."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Are you sure that's the only reason?" He asked.

I sighed and replied, "There are just some memories in the past that's coming back to my mind. Don't worry about me."

My past could not help me from fixing something that were just happening at this occasion. They were just bad dreams that end at a time, which sometimes come back. What shall I do was to wake up, and do other things to forget them. Make myself busy on my mission, power and magics.

It was really difficult to forget my bad memories in the past, for those memories were marked on me badly. Memories that could not be erase though I used all kind of erasure, for I bring them wherever I went and it was hooked on the rock. Though I never did hooked them, it was the nature's did.
