"TARA! We're here!" shout the walnut girl happily. "What the heck with your friend?" whisper the red haired boy, "Well… just act like a normal kids" replied her. They go to one of the caravans. Along the way, Dashel look around. He can see so many Caravans and people at that place. they perform a wide range of activities, which he never see it before.

The girl opens a white door, and behind it you can see a simple room that can fulfill your basic needs. "Awesome.." whisper him, Ciel just can give a look with smile. "Lilian, I'm back with Ciel and her new friend.. er.. who's he?", "Dashel" said Ciel. "Oh thank you for visit me" the woman named Lilian who lay on her bad said to them. "Whoa… your baby is so cute" praise Ciel, go to near of the baby and tickle him. "Don't you want to meet this boy?" asked Lilian gently to Dashel. "Erm… Maybe?" Naitene push him from behind until he get closer to the baby.

So it's human baby? My first time to see it, looks like normal baby. Suddenly, the door behind them open, and there's an old woman with her big glasses. "You girls! Help us to cook for today dinner celebration!" her ordered. "Yes ma'am" answer both of the girls, Lilian can just smile and waves when they're leaving.

"So.. I'm going too?" asked Dashel slowly, "Yes we need many help, or you want to stay there without do anything?" said Naitene, then being called by one of the woman next a big pot, she take her leave. "What's wrong with that girl?" he's grumbled, "hehehe maybe she's interested in you?" joke Ciel, show behind him "Huh? She's just exploiting my energy" replied him. "Well then, can you help me bring these things?" asked her gently, point at some basket, full of fruit and vegetable.

"You never see human before?", "No, I already told you some of our village is a normal human", "so why you keep staring at'em" asked her with hand full of basket, "I just… never see some of activity that they do". "It's because you never see the world Dashel", "how can? We cannot go out from this mountain" said him. He put the basket in front of stove. "Anyway, can you cook?" asked Ciel, also put the basket in front of the stove, "Cook?". "Yes, I bet you know that, don't lie to me", "Yes I know, but I never try that" replied the boy. "Then help me to make a dish!", "I told you I never cook before" he said with priceless expression.

Ciel give a potato and knife to him, "try this, it's very simple dish… first just peel it and we soften it and you got your mashed potato, just add some spice to make it delicious" explain her slowly when she started to peel the potato in her hand. Sret! Quickly Ciel stop his action and look at Dashel, who already injured his finger. "You must be careful! Come here I'll treat your hand" said her panicky, "no need to worry, I'll recover soon". She look at te boy's finger which began to close by itself. "A...mazing.. Teach me how!", "are you idiot! This cannot be done by human" replied him nervous.

"Anyway…" said her when she started to boil the potato "ehm.. How about your wound? You know.. ehm… which one when we were in flower field… Whether they recovered quickly, too?" she turn her head to the boy who sitting on the barrel near there. He throw the apple from one hand to the other hand, and bite it "not at all, my right shoulder is still have a scar. But now is in process to go back to normal…. I think because there's some strange poison in that's dog tooth" the girl just reply it by a nod. The girl put the cooked potatoes into a bowl, "here, help me to mash it".

The boy walked to the forest, "go home already?" asked Ciel, "yeah, I already help you guys, right?", "a lot" answers her with big smile. After he asked to cook, a man come and asked him to help them build a new house, it's take a lot of time, until afternoon come. The girl laugh a bit, make Dashel turn his head to her "what's it?", "you're so cute" said the girl between her laugh, made Dashel a bit shocked and you can see a little blush on his left cheek. "W-whatever!" said him, and then run into the forest until she can't see him again.

The girl only smile and slowly close her eyes, "whoa, someone fall in love?" said a voice make the girl shock and jump. She turns her head to see who was speaking back there. "Naitene and … guys… what are you guys doing here" said her slowly when she see three others friend of her.

"Why you're so fascinated with that boy?" Naitene look at Ciel, and the other friends also waiting her answer with blinking eyes. "Well... maybe he's cute..?" said her stammered, "I know it" said Naitene excites, the girls just laugh, but stop when Ciel continue her word "he.. he never honest to people, even to him-self, kind of hiding his feeling… he acted like he's rude and cold, but I know he's a good person…" said her with smile, but quickly realize that her friends keep quiet and listen to her with look of awe. "We know it!" shout the girls and Ciel just can forced smile"ha...ha...ha…" Anyway… why I feel this bad?

Finally, the boy arrived on his village. When he walked toward his cottage, he saw his mother go inside the treatment cottage. What's she doing there? The boy quickly change his direction. He see many people outside the cottage too. "Excuse me sir, what's going on here?" asked Dashel to the uncle with his big hat. "You know? Some man was got command from the elder to collect information from Pedem Tribe and around this area…" explained the man, and answered by a nod from the boy, "when Yettle's group walk toward the east area they got attacked by several big black dogs", "black dogs?", "yes, and Yettle got attacked on his left arm… it's strange because the wound didn't turn back into normal and started to undermine his body, now your mother tried to help him".

Quickly, Dashel dash into that cottage. He sees many people in that cottage, tried to help that poor man. "Hang in there!" said one of the woman, "Please stay conscious!" the other said. His Mother is still taking out something from the man's body. That place recover with a lot of blood. The man screamed continuously, until his last breath. "I'm sorry" said Lattene down. His family goes inside the cottage and crying hysterical. "Lattene! What's going on?" said Dashel pull his Mother hand which covered by blood. "He's died"

After that, some of them get ready for the funeral ceremony. Dashel asked his Mother to sit on the short branches. "Are you okay?" asked him, look at her hand which still covered by blood. She nodded slowly. They just keep silent for a while. "What's those things?" whisper his Mother, he look at his Mother "what?" , "some kind of strange poison… it makes us cannot close our wound… the skin become like a normal human, and I even cannot stop the bleeding", "If it was a poison, why don't you binding his hand?" "It's… useless... The poison is spread very fast, even before I can bind his hand" her hand is shaking. "It's not your fault" the boy squeezes his mother's hand. "It happen because all of us fault… we're to careless, we still don't know what kind of enemy back then, but I'm sure.. If I, you, Dad, and all of us team up, we can evict them from our village!" said him spirited. Lattene can only smile "thank you"

"Well… Looks like it's almost night, the sun started to gone, let's go home" he stand up from his seat. "Ah, you can go first, I must help them clean the cottage" said her, Dashel look her mother face with confused look "are you okay? Should I go with you?"," nah, nope thanks" replied her with big smile. "Okay then, see ya". He walk toward his home slowly, I think… she's not really bad at all…. He smile and walk on stair in front of their cottage, to reach their cottage which located up on the trees. He shifting the curtain which function for the door with a smile, "I'm ho–" but his smile quickly disappear, when he see there's a man hold a strange shape thing on his hand, which brought closer to his ear. He talk to that thing. And the most shocked thing is the word that flow from that person mouth.

"They still don't know, who I'am"

"Yes-yes, I cannot believe that those things is really fool"

"Yeah you must tell all of our company!"

"Hahahaha, I know, we gotta be rich! They make a lot of money, I'm sure"

"I'm sure, don't worry"

"Yes, they're real creature; they're hiding from us …"

His green eye widen, shocked with the word that his admired person said. He want to said and asked many things, but just one word that out from his mouth "Father?"
