The moonlight at night illuminated inside the Tarantula Desert Prison. Looks like there is a very thin man lying on the sandy floor in this desert. His golden brown curly hair covered his face. That man opened his eyes. The colour of his eyes is like the colour of the green emerald ocean that has lost the light to live in this world.
His body looks like a teenage boy in around 13-15 years. But the real his age is 19 years old. His body was weak from the experiments conducted by the Royal family.
There is only one building in the middle of the desert. And that is the Tarantula Desert Prison which was built by the empire of the Kingdom of Dirgatara. Only the SSS Rated criminals will be imprisoned here and become residents of the Tarantula Desert. The skinny man was imprisoned in the middle of the desert without a guard. And currently the occupant who accompanies this cold night is Teja A'gus. The people of this land call him 'The Last Royal Descendant of Bastard Hero Killer'.
Tonight is very cold for him. The coldness of the night felt as if his body had been pierced by a sharp needle. Dew seeped out filling every corner of the prison. And the last time food was eaten was 3 days ago without a drink. He's relies on the dew that is collected and absorbed in his cloths at night.
Teja lay like a dead man without moving. And the cold night had made Teja shiver with hunger. And now Teja stomach plays a sound signalling that his hunger was biting into every part of his stomach. Teja tried to hug his knees to keep her body heat. Teja's eyes closed again. Only sleep can get rid of this cold and hunger.
"Hungry".
"It's cold".
But if Teja closes his eyes for now, the door of death will open and invite him.
"Dead or alive?"
Teja tears falls as he grabbed his hand at the edge side of his shirt which was torn as a result of being dragged by the Royal Army.
"Mama... A'rus ... Era ... I will definitely come by your side".
(Teja hand touches his chest and tears fall on the floor.)
"I will follow your deaths. Just wait for this lives to be killed by them".
Teja's stomach rumbled again. The wound on Teja's shoulder left a deep scar. The wound got worse and rotted. A chain tied with a large rocks at Teja ankle. The wound in his leg was getting deeper. The skin on his feet began to change color. The more blackened and marked the skin of the flesh the more rotten.
Teja cried missing his family. Teja memories of playing when his life was so quiet with Mama, A'rus and Era are clearly imaginable even with his eyes closed.
"It's too painful. Everything is in this life... And this world too... Please bring back my little family. My happiness".
Foreign voice (female voice): Hehehe (soft laugh).... Ok. I understand. You lost everything in this life and in this world.
Teja was shocked. His eyes wide open. His body reflexes rose immediately to find the foreign voice. Teja feet quickly ran towards the back of the large rock that chained him to hide. Teja hair was ruffled. All these fears he experienced were a response to what happened to his family. Teja eyes are wet. Teja seemed to be out of breath.
His chest seemed to want to explode. He panicked and worried in this situation. And Teja screamed with all his might to dispel his fear.
"Just kill me! I want to die. There is no one else in this world for me. Kill me!".
He was so scared that he hit the big rock that chained him without realizing it.. Yet Teja lost his balance and fell on the boulder. His head hit a rock. Teja long curly hair was drenched in blood on his head.
However, the voice was silent without reply. Teja seems to have lost his sanity. Hearing an unfamiliar voice tonight made Teja lose his temper. Expecting to die in the moment but cowardly to choose a way to die. And that is Teja A'gus.
Where is the justice proclaimed by the King in this land? Everything is just propaganda of the succession of the imperial throne in Kingdom of Dirgatara.
Foreign voice (Female voice): What desire do you want? (Laugh)
Teja was shocked again. His body reacted and moved to the other side close to the boulder.
Foreign Voice (female voice): I will give you the strength to help you. Choose me 'The Owner'. I'm waiting you so long ago to choose me as your power.
(Teja takes a rock around it and throws it at every corner to ensure the position of the foreign voice).
"I want my family back. I don't need you. Arghh!!!!!! (Scream) Everything is just a nightmare. I need sleep to forget all this".
(Teja quickly lays himself on the floor and closes his eyes until falling asleep).
