Episose 83 : What Remains

The next morning has come and at the temporary base where Bulan and the rest are seeking shelter, everyone was there preparing and temporarily packing up for now because they decided to have a look on what has happened to the Palayan Tribe.... Agui also just finally returned after meeting up and failing to convince Sidapa to return yesterday.......

Hala: (watches everyone preparing their bags) are you guys sure? (feels worried) that you really want to go there???
Lakas: why Hala? (looks confused at Hala) (takes some of his stuffs to his bag sack) you guys have us anyway....
Hala: and that is the point.... (worriedly speaks) we are the ones guiding you.... me and Aman... (looks at Aman) Agui is not even here... nor Sidapa......
Bulan: (keeps organizing some of his items in his sack bag) (sadly listens to Hala talking about Sidapa)
Daplan: (helping Bulan preparing some items) (notices Bulan suddenly feeling sad)
Lakas: yeah... (looks around confusedly) Agui hasn't yet returned......
Hala: yeah and that is why I am worried....
Aman: (looks annoyed at Hala) we literally are responsible of them Hala.... with or without Sidapa or even Agui with us......
Hala: well.... (blushes down) (feels awkward)
Aman: or maybe.... (walks closer to Hala) maybe you are not worried about Bulan but worried that Sidapa might do something to you if you fail to protect Bulan.....
Lakam: it kinda makes sense... (prepares his stuffs)
Hala: (blushes at everyone) (feels guilty) can you blame me????
Agui: (suddenly appears sadly and approaches everyone)
Lakam: wait... (points Agui) here is Agui......
*everyone else confusedly notices Agui*
Hala: Agui.... (keeps looking confused at Agui) where have you been? why did it took you so long to find a fellow God???
Agui: I did.... I did find Sidapa but... (sadly looks at Bulan and Lakas)
Lakas: (sadly looks at Agui) (looks back concerned at Bulan)
Agui: (looks nervous at Bulan) but he was.... (shrugs) he is fine though but.....
Bulan: he is not returning, right??? (feels emotionally attacked and heartbroken) (keeps preparing items to his bag)
Agui: I am sorry... (looks down sadly) I tried......
Daplan: (sadly watches Bulan feeling emotional) (holds Bulan's hand) father????
Bulan: (tries to not cry) (smiles back ay Daplan) do not worry Dap.... you have me for now and..... pretty sure he would be safe... why would he not be....
Lakas: (sadly listens to Bulan)
Agui: but where are you all going? you all seem preparing??? (looks confused at everyone)
Aman: we are all going to....
*Ulan and Kidlat approaches everyone*
Ulan: (cuts off Agui) we are back and the coast is clear..... actually there really are no danger so far.....
Kidlat: yeah so... we are safe to travel to Palayan Tribe.... (notices everyone preparing) are we all done preparing??
Agui: Palayan Tribe?? (looks confused and concerned at everyone)
Aman: yeah... Bulan wanted to inspect and see.... so better to have all of us as well......
Agui: (nods) (looks sadly back at Bulan)
Bulan: I am done.... (ropes up his bag sack) are we all done????
Liksi: (grabs and suddenly widens his eyes at the notebook that his parents gave to him) (suddenly feels emotional)
Lakas: I guess we are all.... (suddenly notices Liksi looking at a notebook) how about you Liksi???
Liksi: huh? (notices Lakas waiting for him) ugh haha... yeah! (smiles awkwardly) we can now leave... (stands up) let's go.....
Bulan: (sadly looks concerned at Liksi holding the notebook that his parents give to him)
Hala: I will lead the way okay? I will bring us there in no time... (starts walking away)
*everyone nods and follows Hala*
*everyone left*
Sidapa: (suddenly appears and watches everyone walking away from behind) (tears fall on his face) (sadly watches Daplan and Bulan together walking away) (in his mind) I am sorry my love.... I am sorry my son..... (feels extremely guilty)

It is now late in the morning and at one of the main entrances of the Palayan Tribe from the forest, everyone has finally reached their destination.......

*everyone approaches the entrance of the Palayan Tribe*
Hala: here we are and.... (looks at the sun in the sky) I think we should soon be eating lunch......
Bulan: oh my God.... (eyes widens frighteningly at the whole Palayan Tribe broken and burnt down to the ground) (walks closer and peeks at the big bushes) (tears suddenly fall on his face) none has remained.... (feels worried)
Lakas: (approaches and watches the Palayan Tribe next to Bulan) as much as how sad it is..... they had it coming..... what do you think?
Agui: (guiltily listens to Lakas and Bulan)
Bulan: no because.... (tearfully looks at Lakas) like what I said..... Sahaya and Thales.... if ever they survived and saw this.... then what???? you were kidnapped by Ajas and possibly he saw his non existent kingdom.... that could possibly added to his anger than made him do what he did.....
Liksi: (looks worried at Bulan and Lakas) Bulan is right......
Aman: (looks sadly nervous at everyone)
Lakas: (looks down worried and nervous)
Bulan: how much more could we hide Lakas... and honestly... I am worried about you all more than me... (looks at everyone) how much more would you all protect me???
Aman: (sadly speaks) till the fall of us gods....
Hala: I agree... (nods bravely)
Bulan: when I am being protected bur hurt by guilt....
Daplan: (sadly looks at Bulan)
*Kidlat, Lakam and Ulan sadly listens and looks at each other*
Lakas: (tears keeps falling on his face) (stares worriedly at Bulan)

It is now night and back at the Batumbakal Tribe, Sahaya was there waiting for an expected news about her family after the volcanic erruption..... at the front of the Libulan's castle.....

Sahaya: (watches all the people and soldiers doing their jobs) (feels concerned and worried)
Soldier: (approaches Sahaya) good evening Princess Sahaya.....
Sahaya: (eyes widens and smiles at the soldier) good evening and.... it seems that the soldier I talked to is the one that would give me the news that I need to hear huh?
Soldier: yes because... (looks down nervously) just doing my job with respects and reassurance.... but.... about the news..... none of the people on the Palayan Tribe survived.... they whole tribe even seems non existent and just ashes and broken structures....
Sahaya: what?!! (suddenly eyes widens and tears fall on his face) (feels shocked and speechless)
Soldier: I do not know about your father but..... your sister is part of the deaths......
Sahaya: Amaya!!! (cries worriedly) I want to see her... (desperately looks at the soldier) bring her body to me and find father!!! please!!!!!
Soldier: we are doing our best and yes we will do what you order Princess Sahaya.... sorry for your loss... good evening... (left)
Sahaya: (falls on her knees and cries emotionally) Amaya.... (covers her mouth) (keeps crying) (stares at nothing angrily) you did not deserve this.... and I will prove you that... (suddenly clenches her fists) that Sidapa and even Bulan will see what comes next.... and no gods can stop me when that time comes.......

The remains are the alarming ones and it doesn't seem good for Bulan and the others.. Tune in!
