Episode 90 : Tight Empathy

It is now the next day and at the snowy fields, Dumangan was under a pine tree resting after looking out and observing Sidapa for a whole day yesterday......

Dumangan: (sleeps peacefully under a pine tree)
Sidapa: (runs in the snow field immediately) (feels extreme cold) (hugs himself) (in his mind) I do not think it would make a change anyway so I have to move forward...... (passes and nervously notices Dumangan sleeping under a pine tree) and he has no choice at the end like Agui.... this is my life!!!! (keeps running away from Dumangan)
Dumangan: (hears footsteps running and immediately wakes up seriously) (looks around nervously) he is trying to escape!!!! (angrily notices and watches Sidapa running away) hey!!!! come back here!!!!
Sidapa: (keeps running away from further distance) (cries nervously) I am sorry but I cannot see what you are seeing!!! this will not make a chance and it will be bad either ways....
Dumangan: no you do not understand.... (tries to run and follows Sidapa)
Sidapa: but this is my life now!!!! and you have nothing to do with it!!!!
Dumangan: (looks annoyed at following Sidapa) (angrily speaks) you do not have a life!!!!!!!!!!!!
*the ground suddenly shakes and rumbles*
Sidapa: huh? (looks around and feels the ground rumbling) (turns back and looks nervous at Dumangan) do not dare do anything.... I swear to God.... do not......
*ice spikes suddenly pushes from the ground*
Sidapa: (shouts in fright) no!!!! (eyes widens at the ice spikes emerging near him) you cannot do this to me... (tries to keep running away)
*ice spikes keep rising and blocks all corners of Sidapa*
Sidapa: (looks frightened at being trapped by the ice spikes) you are an animal for doing this!! (keeps crying) (tries to find a way to escape) (tries to climb and fit through the narrow ways of the ice spikes)
*ice spikes emerges horizontally from the existing ice spikes*
Sidapa: (painfully jumps away from almost getting hit by a sharp ice spike growing horizontally) (cries angrily to the ground) no!!!! no!!! no!!! no!!! you cannot do this!!! (angrily looks at Sidapa) to a fellow god you know!!!! can you have some sympathy?
Dumangan: (seriously approaches Sidapa) I am more than having sympathy.... that is why you are trapped there.. for your own sake and I am empathic enough to care for who you are leaving alone..... and besides Sidapa... (moves closer and watches Sidapa inside the ice spikes) you are aware that you are a God so.... you have no life at all... you never had......
Sidapa: (looks sadly confused at Dumangan)
Dumangan: you never had a life.... and look at you forgetting what you have instead...
Sidapa: (looks down guiltily) a responsibility.....
Dumangan: (nods sadly) that you are running away from.....
Sidapa: but... (sadly sits on the icy ground) what do you mean when the moon reappears in the burning night??
Dumangan: you will see.... (keeps staring seriously at Sidapa) and I am bringing you here both because you are there in that vision when it happens..... and at the same time.... like what I said..... I have empathy.... (glares at Sidapa) and I know that you do not love what you are doing right now......
Sidapa: (tears fall on his face) (feels his tears freezing) I am freezing here.....
Dumangan: so is you running to nowhere.... like what I said Sidapa.... what is the point??? even if you run away from where you are supposed to be.... I know that someday.... I know someday you will even ask that to yourself as well.... I see it coming Sidapa... I see you!!! (keeps seriously staring at Sidapa)
Sidapa: (looks frightened and nervous at Dumangan staring at him)

Back at the Dagatan Tribe, at one of the abandoned stone houses, Bulan called Hala, Aman and Agui there to have a talk about something......

*Hala, Aman and Agui enters the abandoned stone house*
Bulan: (waits patiently and looks around the abandoned stone houses)
Aman: (notices and looks confused at Bulan) Bulan... we are here now.... what do you want to talk about......
Hala: yeah... (confusedly looks around) it looks like we will be talking about revenge and avenge here so.... is it about that????
Bulan: (notices Hala, Aman and Agui) oh ugh... you guys are here and... (looks around) no it is not anything like that but.... (approaches and holds Agui's hand) I really still need yourself... (sadly looks at Agui) especially you....
Agui: (looks confused and nervous at Bulan) ugh Bulan... what is this about?
Bulan: I have decided.... (takes a deep breath) that I need to see Sidapa's family to tell them what happened lately... because... I really cannot stand not speaking up......
Aman: but... (looks concerned at Bulan) are you scared of what they will do if they found out about Sidapa???
Hala: oh Aman... (smiles at Aman) Bulan has been there before and I know it won't be a problem....
Bulan: yes and.... I am more scared of where Sidapa is than meeting his parents.... (looks back at Agui) and since Sidapa is not here... I know you can help me go to hell.....
Agui: hell??? (looks nervous at everyone) how can you all assume I can go to hell as well???
*Hala and Aman seriously looks annoyed at Agui*
Hala: I know you so much Agui and I can say that you really know how......
Agui: (keeps feeling nervous at everyone) but..... I do not know if Sidapa would like that......
Bulan: but Sidapa is not here when he has to okay??!! (angrily speaks) do you think I am fine about him not around?!!!
*Agui, Hala and Aman sadly looks at each other*
Hala: do it Agui... it is our responsibility anyway.....
Aman: you set the volcano because you are meant to save Bulan that night... you have all the responsibility to him like all of us......
Agui: (looks nervous at Bulan)
Bulan: (sadly looks at Agui) please Agui....
Agui: (looks down sadly)

It is now night and at the Batumbakal Tribe, the whole castle happens to have a secret underground lair and Sahaya was there heading to it to visit his father and sister which are hidden there.....

Sahaya: (happily enters the secret lair slowly) I am home.... (locks the wooden door behind her) and I promise... (approaches Thales and Amaya's dead body on the ground) this may be a little inconvenient for you two to stay but.... (kneels down to the bodies) (evilly speaks) I will find a way to reign death in this world....
Dullahan: (invisibly appears and whispers to Sahaya's ears) kill 9 lives.... hold hands with the demon... (slides his hands to Sahaya's hand) and kill 9 lives to reign death in this world....
Sahaya: (evilly smiles at nothing) holding hands with the demon.....

The first half is done... Be prepared as the moon reappears soon and the death rises in the burning night... Tune in!!
