Libulan

Episode 79 : The Reappearance Of The Moon

Back at the Libulan's castle in the Batumbakal Tribe, Sahaya was left alone there while his father is trying to search for Bulan in the woods.... at the throne area of the castle......

Sahaya: (confidently enters the throne area) (murmurs) it still is weird that Amaya is not around and I have no idea where she is but.... (happily stares at the empty throne) I know I am doing what I right for me..... and my family.... to honor our blood and seek dominance as we should.... (approaches and comfortably sits on the throne) and soon.... (stares at the dark sky at the open window) and soon.... all of the people of both tribes will tribe into a woman with power...... (stands up and approaches the open window) and even gods will bless and bow down to the powers I have.... (stares at the full moon) and I promise you Bulan..... you will have no choice but recognize me..... I will impress you with my power..... so let me have you back here which my father will grant.....
Briseo: (slowly enters the room) (secretly watches and listens to Sahaya)
Sahaya: just wait and see Bulan.... I will have you see the future that your family and this land deserves... that is the true and real beauty of power..... (smiles evilly at the dark skies)
Briseo: (nervously listens to Sahaya) (in his mind) not on my watch.... (left)

Back at the forest near the volcano where Agui is staying, all the boys went to an empty and open area to rest and talk for the night......

Liksi: so.... (eats pork) Bulan and Sidapa... can you tell us more about the..... son made out of love thing because it just feels so impossible.......
Hala: (smiles at Liksi) Liksi... you have been with us and seen such magical stuffs that we do not even show to people at all and you call this magical????
Aman: I agree with you Hala but the weird thing is..... Daplan is already a child and not an infant... how is that???
Sidapa: (shrugs at Aman) I do not clearly know.... we were also surprised...... (looks at Sidapa)
Bulan: (looks confused at Sidapa looking at him) especially me... I do not even know men get pregnant......
Daplan: I know how and I will be willing to explain it all to you.....
Agui: (looks amazed at Daplan) good genes Bulan.....
Sidapa: (rolls his eyes annoyed at Agui)
Daplan: (confidently speaks) (stands up) so the thing about pregnancy is that they weren't pregnant of me at all but at the same time.. they were..... but just like what I said.... Bulan's throwing up was a signal that I choose to use but I cannot believe non of you really assumed that it was about pregnancy when everybody in the world associates vomiting with pregnancy......
Hala: well Daplan... you are right but to be fair.... men really don't get pregnant......
Daplan: not when you are a son of a mortal and a god.... (makes his hands glow white) that is the luckiest breed you will ever get......
*Sidapa and Bulan widens their eyes at Daplan's hands*
Sidapa: what are those magic you have??? (holds Daplan's hands curiously)
Daplan: magic of both fathers.....
Bulan: both fathers??? (looks confused at Sidapa)
Agui: (smiles at Bulan) so.... Bulan and Sidapa doing their romantic thing summoned you completely????
Daplan: yeah... and... (reaches out and hugs Bulan and Sidapa) and I am really happy to have smart and strong parents....
Liksi: but what about not being an infant????
Daplan: a son of a mortal.... you were born an infant.... a son of a god... you are also born an infant but being a son of a mortal and a god.... that's in between...... and that is me.... still do not know why is that so but that is the knowledge of us kids.....
Aman: (looks amazed at Daplan) I am still amazed but how much you know Daplan... you sound so wise for your age.. .
Daplan: well... (shrugs) children are really wiser, aren't we??? (smiles at Bulan and Sidapa)
Bulan: (smiles at Daplan) and we are so happy that you are here Daplan.... what an unexpected thing to have but here you are..... (hugs Daplan from behind)
Daplan: (sits on Bulan's lap)
Sidapa: (moves closer and hugs both Bulan and Daplan) do not worry you two.... now I got more reason to keep going... maybe this is a blessing and a good lesson for me to not give up...
Liksi: (nods and smiles happily at Bulan, Daplab and Sidapa) (suddenly frowns down)
Daplan: (looks confused at Liksi frowning down) what is wrong? I can see in your eyes that your question is more than just curiosity......
Liksi: (shrugs) seeing a lost child to be honest..... seeing you for the first time... I thought of me.... (feels emotional) until you told all of us that you are Sidapa and Bulan's parents so..... good for you and... better for you... (tears fall on his face) (keeps smiling at Daplan)
Dana: (listens sadly to Liksi secretly behind a tree) (feels emotional) (cries softly)
Liksi: but just like what I said... I just saw me in you because I am starting to feel like I am not just parentless where my parents just left me.... sometimes... I wanna think that I never had any at all and my whole life is just.... (keeps crying softly) my whole life suddenly just became a mystery...
Bulan: (tears fall on his face)
Daplan: I am sorry to hear that Liksi... (stands up) (hugs and sits on Liski's lap) but you can be a good second father to me because I am aware of how you've been a good brother-like person to my father Bulan.....
Liksi: (hugs and cries on Daplan hardly) thank you Daplan... thank you!!
Nilo: (feels guilty at listening to Liksi crying) (shakes his head) (secretly hides behind a tree)
Hala: so.... anybody next to open up???
Daplan: (suddenly looks the sky) the moon... (eyes suddenly turn yellowish white) (stands up immediately)
Bulan: huh? (looks concerned at Daplan's eyes turning yellowish white) Sidapa?? (holds Sidapa's hand) you know about this???
Sidapa: (looks confused at Daplan staring at the moon) I do not know what he has in him but this is him..... (looks at the moon) connected to the moon.....
Agui: (feels something coming) (suddenly stands up) I think..... I think I have to erupt the volcano......
Aman: (looks confused at everyone) wait... what is this about???
Sidapa: you can't! (shouts angrily at Agui) can we deal with one problem at a time for god's sake?!!?
Agui: (eyes starts to burn orange) but gods just do listen to what the nature needs to do.... and I am doing what I have to do......
Hala: but for what?!! (looks confused at Agui)
Daplan: the exact reappearance of the moon... it is the moment... (eyes turns back to normal) (feels dizzy) (out balances and is about to fall)
Bulan: Daplan!! (looks worried and catches Daplan from falling to the ground) what is happening???
Sidapa: (looks confused and clueless at everyone) (in his mind) what is happening????

At the other end of the volcano in the middle of the forest, Thales is there with 3 of his guards.......

Thales: (leads the way with a torch) (looks around the whole area) they have to be here because this is the only cause of the earthquake.....
Guard #1: then shouldn't we be in a safe area???
Thales: real kings do not hide from risks......
Guard #2: and you told us that we are fighting off gods...
Thales: (seriously looks at Guard #2) well.... real gods doesn't run away from mortals... do they????
*Lakas and Lakam secretly follows Thales*
Lakas: (hides behind a tall bush) (peeks at Thales)
Lakam: (whispers to Lakas) do you think they really are here???
Lakas: what matter is we get information Lakam.... (whispers)
Guard #3: (keeps looking around) but why are we the only one here king Thales? could have called for more of us....
Thales: it is basically because they are running away... if you are brave enough... why run away??? (evilly looks at the soldiers)
Lakas: (feels nervous listening to Thales) (whispers) he is straight up clever... I am worried....
Lakam: (looks nervous listening to Lakas) whispers) he is going to use their shame....

Why do you think Daplan has powers that his fathers doesn't have? something to do with the moon? but how?? the only thing I know about the moon is that it can see everything.... what do you think???
