Libulan

Episode 23 : The Secret Invasion

The next day, at the roof of the castle of the Libulans, Sidapa was there hanging out alone and watching the view from above......

Sidapa: (looks at the sun rising) (yawns) (hears somebody familiar talking nearby) (in his mind) wait... as what I know, nobody is awake yet.... (peeks at the front area of the mansion)
Troop #1: sir... why are we leaving again? we just got here....
Troop #2: yeah sir... we have been travelling back and forth these places....
Kaja: (feels annoyed) are you all complaining??? you all do not have any rights to complain okay?! (looks around) but we shouldn't talk about it here... that is why we have to go.... I will tell you all away from here.......
Troop #3: aren't we supposed to bow down to Briseo before us leaving???
Kaja: I am your boss... not him... never was really at the first place..... (left)
*all the troops follows Kaja and left*
Sidapa: (angrily listens to Kaja) (in his mind) if there is something I should contribute here..... it is to see what their plans are..... (disappears) 

At some treeless in the Sidapa forest  near the tribe, Kaja and his troops hung out there to announce something........

Kaja: (drinks on his bottle of wine) I think this is way too far from the place.....
Troop #1: so what is it Kaja?
Kaja: (eyes widens at the troop) what do you mean Kaja?! have some respect! (shouts) (slaps the troop on the face)
*the troop falls on the ground*
*everyone laughs*
Kaja: wait until I tell you all.... I know you are all hungry for another crusade... another war......
Hala: (appears from a branch of a tree) (feels confused) who are these people? (notices Kaja and his troops)
Sidapa: (appears behind a tree) (listens carefully to what Kaja says)
Hala: (notices Sidapa under the tree he is standing)
Kaja: (looks at everyone) and by means of crusade... war! I am planning to train all of you because we have to be ready for a big invasion.....
Troop #2: to who?
Kaja: the one and only tribe that thinks we are siding on them...... (feels angry) and yes, I am talking about the Batumbakal tribe!
Sidapa: (eyes widens at Kaja) (invisibles himself)
Kaja: and we are all going there to kill all of the living people and they cannot even fight back because we are their armed forces.... all their troops are not as good as us....
Troop #3: then why do we have to train??
Kaja: so we may not look suspicious and to be sure we can do it.......
Sidapa: (feels nervous)
Kaja: that is why we have to get going.... (looks around) people may see us here.... (left)
Sidapa: (feels nervous) I have to tell Bulan about this......
Hala: (swings from a vine appearing in front of Sidapa upside down) I knew you knew Bulan...... (invisibles himself)
Sidapa: (shouts at Hala) what the?! who are you and why the hell do you see me?! (falls on the ground) (feels frightened)
Hala: (offers a handshake) it is okay if you do not know me but I can say the rumors are true... about you being careless towards other Gods and having that cute man of yours......
Sidapa: (feels angry) what did you say? (eyes starts burning)
Hala: did I offend you about the careless side?
Sidapa: (shouts angrily) no but you having an idea about Bulan and... you have no rights to call him cute......
Hala: (shrugs) I guess I have because he is a powerful person.... he may be one of us someday and we arw all involved in it....
Sidapa: nah...  I am sure that you are only involved because you are a son of a disloyal God....... no wonder you can like anybody you see...... (points Hala angrily) but not Bulan! (about to leave)
Hala: hey! (feels confused) (runs in front of Sidapa) I thought you did not know me..... but you were right.... what's wrong is... your family being too loyal... we are Gods... you can mate somebody and share that somebody...
Sidapa: shut up!! (burns his whole body)
*Lakan and Lakas heads out of the forest*
*Sidapa and Hala notices Lakan and Lakas*
Lakan: but Lakas.... I thought you are wanting to be a king of something....
Lakas: you do not understand Lakan..... having two men is not an issue but having two kings is impossible...
Lakan: but they said it was....
Lakas: because they think they can fool me! (feels pissed) Lakan..... if I am going to be a king, it is in this place... not anybody else and.... (rolls his eyes) I have standards... (left)
Lakan: wait Lakas... okay, fine! I understand... (left)
Hala: (smiles at Sidapa) so.... when can I meet your boy, my friend?
Sidapa: never! (disappears)
Hala: (feels confused) Sidapa? (looks around) Sidapa????

It is now night, at the dining hall of the castle, everyone was there eating dinner together.......

Briseo: (eats) so.... (notices Lakas) since you found excuses earlier about not going to breakfast and lunch... I guess I can talk to you with everybody cause.....
Lakas: (takes a deep breath) (cuts off Briseo) father... I respect you but I disrespect you disrespecting my personal thoughts......
Briseo: (feels angry) if this is about the marriage... (points Bulan) Bulan is here...... he is still getting married like you and he agreed to it.... he just needs time.... and he has no choice...
Lakas: (shouts) and that is also his own excuse to not marry Sahaya!
Sahaya: (looks sadly at Lakas)
Lakas: (looks angrily at Bulan) I am pretty sure he is not into what you want him to be..... and you are right father... he has no choice! (left)
Briseo: (shouts angrily) Lakas! come back here!!!!!
Bulan: (feels concerned) Lakas.....
Liksi: (looks down sadly)
Sahaya: (about to speak) (looks concerned at Bulan)
Amaya: (whispers and cuts off Sahaya) do not even try to speak... it is not the right time.....
Sahaya: (looks down sadly)
Briseo: (looks at Bulan) it is true son? (feels angry) you are not into what I worked hard for you....
*Bulan and Sidapa looks at each other*
Sidapa: (speaks to Bulan's mind) he is making you feel bad but its okay if you lie and tell him you are interested.... I will not be mad....
Bulan: (smiles at Sidapa) (looks seriously at Briseo) no father.... I am... interested....
Liksi: (shakes his head)
Sidapa: (smiles at Bulan)
Sahaya: (feels consider at Sidapa) (in her mind) I still do not know who he is..... and why is he already that close to Bulan???
Briseo: (smiles at Bulan) you better be Bulan... you better be...
Bulan: (fake smiles)

This is getting interesting... I am so excited for the bigger adventures and..... do you like Hala so far???
