Lihat lebih banyak“Kenapa aku harus mendarat di tempat yang kotor seperti ini? Aku berasal dari mana sebenarnya? Kenapa sekarang aku hanya ingat namaku saja, Sakya Kumara?" gumam seorang pria yang pakaiannya compang camping dan robek di mana-mana.
Saat ini, dia tampak terdampar di sebuah ladang persawahan yang tidak dikenal.
Air sawah yang kotor mengenangi seluruh tubuhnya yang baru saja mengalami dampak terbakar yang hebat. Bekas-bekas luka bakar yang menimbulkan luka yang cukup parah tampak di sekujur tubuh pria ini. Bahkan wajahnya juga memerah seperti pernah terkena panas yang lumayan kuat.
Pria ini masih tampak muda, tapi menggerakkan tubuhnya saja dia tidak mampu. Masih belum jelas kenapa pemuda ini bisa terdampar di area persawahan yang luas dan jauh sekali dari pemukiman penduduk.
Tidak tampak seorang pun yang bisa membantu pemuda yang tampak mulai sekarat ini. Hidupnya sudah di ujung tanduk.
Dilihat dari luka bakarnya yang parah, hampir dipastikan kalau Sakya Kumara pernah melewati panasnya api yang mirip api neraka. Namun, masih menjadi misteri kenapa sekarang pemuda ini malahan terdampar di area persawahan yang terpencil.
"Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada diriku? Kenapa tenaga dalamku hilang semuanya?" pikir Sakya Kumara.
Tubuhnya terasa sakit sekali. Pakaiannya tampak berantakan karena sebagian terbakar oleh api membara yang mungkin telah dia lewati, tapi dia sendiri tidak tahu kapan dan dimana api membara ini membakar tubuhnya.
Sakya Kumara benar-benar kehilangan ingatan masa lalunya. Hanya namanya yang masih tertinggal di benaknya, selebihnya dia lupa sama sekali kejadian yang dialaminya. Tapi ada lagi satu kata yang melintas di benaknya. 'Pendekar' yang merupakan jagoan pembela kebenaran yang menjadi tujuan hidupnya.
Tempat ini begitu indah dengan pepohonan hijaunya membuat Sakya Kumara merasa tenang berada di tempat ini, walaupun sudah banyak air kotor persawahan yang telah masuk ke dalam mulutnya, karena dia terdampar dengan posisi tengkurap sehingga wajahnya sebagian tertutup oleh kotornya air sawah.
Seekor kerbau hitam tampak mulai mendekati Sakya Kumara dan mengendus-endus dirinya membuat dirinya terpaksa merangkak untuk menyeret tubuhnya sedikit menjauh. Dia belum sanggup untuk berdiri dan berjalan menjauhi persawahan ini.
“Di sini begitu banyak sekali jenis makhluk hidup," ujar Sakya. “Kenapa aku merasa baru kali ini aku melihat banyaknya kehidupan ya? Sebenarnya asalku ini darimana?"
Sakya Kumara terus berusaha mencerna apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada dirinya. Tapi kondisi tubuhnya yang lemah membuatnya berpikir saja susah dan kepalanya mulai terasa pusing lagi.
Rasa sakit yang dideritanya membuat Sakya Kumara mulai pingsan lagi dengan sebagian tubuhnya tertutup air di persawahan. Kekuatan hidupnya berangsur-angsur menghilang seiring dengan makin melemahnya kondisi tubuhnya.
Sebelum dirinya pingsan, sempat dia melihat sosok perempuan cantik yang mendekatinya. Sosok perempuan yang seperti sudah dikenalnya lama, tapi dia tidak tahu pernah bertemu dimana.
Setelah itu pikiran Sakya Kumara kosong dan hanya diisi kegelapan.
Apakah pemuda ini sudah meninggal?
*****
Perlahan-lahan Sakya Kumara membuka matanya kembali setelah tersadar dari pingsannya yang cukup lama.
Hal pertama yang dilihatnya adalah langit-langit rumah.
“Berarti aku sudah tidak berada di atas air kotor tadi lagi. Apa ini dunia setelah mati? Kalau bukan, siapa yang yang begitu baik hati menolongku? Tadi aku tidak melihat adanya kehidupan selain makhluk hitam yang terus-terusan mengendus tubuhku tadi," gumam Sakya Kumara dalam hatinya.
“Ayah ... pemuda asing ini sudah sadar!" Terdengar olehnya teriakan seorang gadis yang sedari tadi berada di dekatnya. Pandangannya yang masih belum jelas mengenali gadis ini yang datang kepadanya sebelum dia tidak sadarkan diri dan memasuki dunia yang gelap gulita.
Derap kaki seseorang terdengar mendekatinya dari arah luar kamar.
Tapi dirinya belum sadar betul untuk membuka keseluruhan matanya.
Pandangannya masih kabur dan akan membuatnya pusing kepala jika terus melihat dalam keburaman.
“Anak muda ... siapa orangtuamu? Kenapa kamu bisa terkapar dengan luka bakar serius di sekujur tubuhmu?" tanya pria yang dipanggil ayah oleh gadis tadi.
Sakya Kumara ingin menjawab pertanyaan penolongnya ini, tapi suara yang keluar dari mulutnya hanyalah berupa lirihan saja tanpa kata-kata. Kondisinya sangat lemah, bahkan untuk berkata-kata saja dia tidak mampu sama sekali.
“Keadaannya masih lemah ... kita biarkan saja dia beristirahat saja dahulu," tegas pria yang dipanggil ayah ini kepada anak gadisnya.
“Kirani ... kamu jaga pemuda ini ya ... ayah kasihan padanya! Ayah tahu dia bukan pemuda yang jahat ... Mungkin dia mengalami bencana atau dirampok, nanti kita tanyakan setelah dia sadar,” ujar pria yang dipanggil ayah oleh gadis cantik ini.
“Baik Ayah ... Rani akan jaga pemuda asing ini," jawab gadis ini.
Terdengar olehnya percakapan gadis yang bernama Kirani ini dengan ayahnya.
"Beruntungnya diriku mereka ini bukan orang jahat ... Entah kenapa, aku merasa banyak makhluk jahat di sekitarku tapi aku sepertinya merasa aman berada di rumah ini," pikir Sakya Kumara yang hanya bisa mendengar tanpa bisa melihat untuk saat ini.
Setelah itu Sakya Kumara tidak sadarkan diri lagi. Kondisinya yang memang sangat lemah tidak memungkinkan untuknya tersadar terus menerus.
Sakya Kumara kehilangan segalanya. Mungkin saja sebelumnya dia adalah pendekar ternama seperti yang banyak terdapat di dunia tempatnya terdampar ini. Mungkin juga dia hanyalah rakyat jelata yang barusan dirampok dan dibuang ke tempat terpencil. Atau bisa saja Sakya Kumara berasal dari desa yang barusan dirampok dan dibakar oleh sekelompok bandit yang banyak terdapat di dunia ini.
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 106. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. We have lost a number of people because of the battle, one of which happened to be Anthony. We did not realize it until we were going through the deceased, and that was when we saw him. I admit, my heart did squeeze when I saw him, and I felt bad but as the Alpha he was, he had a deserving and well respected funeral back at his pack for him. Elder Aloha Theron was also lost in the fight,and the entire Kingdom mourned not just for his death, but for the death of every single person and warrior that had sacrificed thier life for the greater good. There were mourning days for the fallen wolves, one that the entire Kingdom did in respect for them. And afterwards, the crowning ceremony took place in which my mate, Alexander Malakai was crowned King at long last, and beside him, I was pledged Queen and Luna. He kept to his words, and after the crowning and all, took me to go and see my parents. But even having the position of the
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 105 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.They say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and I have never believe that as much as I did today. All I saw was red as I fought against those guards that wanted to take my life, I have no idea what got into me but I had this need to just end it all, to save my child at all costs.Ruby and Valeria managed to escape as well, and they joined in on the fight just as I was about to be overpowered by the wolves there. They helped me fight Elias to death and even brought a little present to me—the Queen that was in the house and they managed to capture. I took her as bait, and then led us to the battle grounds because after all. She is the root cause of all this. And what is more pathetic is that she is weak. She could not and did not attempt to fight me and if she did, I would gladly pull her dead body there. The ground was cold beneath my feet, but I barely felt it. My heart was hammering in my chest, every pulse a reminder of
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 104 CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER MALAKAI LUIS’S POV.I have been anticipating the battle for the longest time, and I thought I had fully prepared myself for the bloodshed and was more than willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary but I underestimated how I would feel to have some of my people gone as a result of it.The reeking stench of blood filled my lungs. It clung to the cold, biting and arctic air, mixing with the sharp tang of iron and the wet, sickly smell of death. A scent I have gotten accosted to unfortunately.I stood in the middle of it all—bodies of fallen wolves littering the snow-covered ground, once proud warriors now reduced to motionless husks. Blood seeped into the white beneath them, staining the battlefield like a macabre canvas. Their eyes, wide open, stared into nothingness. My fallen soldiers, their lives gone like the wisp of wind for the sake of the throne and the Kingdom. As much as my heart ached at the sight, I knew I could not let it ge
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 103 ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. As I tried to wake up, my whole body ached, and my head was pounding almost as if something was being used to hammer it. I tried to move my body, but my limbs were sore and aching while it felt weak as well. I released a breath, then tried to part my eyes open. At first, my gaze was blurry but after a couple of blinking, I managed to clear away the blurriness. That was when I got the chance to fully look around my surrounding and take it in, my mind registering the seeming cell I am held this time around.The cell was suffocating to say the least . Cold, damp stone surrounded me on all sides, the air thick with the stench of mild dew and something more metallic—blood, probably old. It reminded me of the old cell I was held in just a few days ago, and I felt nauseated to be honest. Way too much if I am being direct but I tried to hold it back.There were no windows, just a small, rusted grate near the ceiling that allowed in t
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 102. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV. The time it took to reach the safe house this time was much quicker than the last when I came with Kai and left with Elias. True to Kai’s words, as we approached the place, even I could not tell that the cottage was there because he had made it invincible. The moment we got through the barrier though, the cottage was in sight and Elias explained how only we can get in, an outsider would not be able to get past the barrier. Once in the confines of the homey cottage, despite the recluse it offered from everything going out there, the tension in the room was evident stemming from each and every one of us being worried for what the outcome might be. I feel bad rmtowards them all honestly. I know if it was up to them, they would be out there fighting as well but they had to stay back and stay with me. I would have preferred to be out there as well not stow away out here, hiding like a coward. If not for the child I am carrying, a
KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 101. ESMERALDA STONE (RANIA)’S POV.At this rate, the amount of times things just change within a couple of hours is scary. I have been anticipating the moment of change, and so has Kai but I was still caught aback, and my heart hammered behind my rib cage when Elias’s mindlink came to Kai, that the other side have started moving, and have officially declared war on our side.That was how Kai and I found ourselves getting ready—while he prepared to go out for the war, I was preparing to head to the safe house with Ruby and Valeria. Once fully dressed and all charged, Kai and I made our way out to where the others were waiting, hand in hand. We found out them outside by the tunnel that leads to the safe house, the same Kai and went through the last time we found ourselves there.By the entrance of the tunnel, Elias, Valeria, Ruby, Aloha Kael and Zayde were waiting—the ones I noticed Kai seems to have the most trust in. The moment we reached where they were, thier
