Purple Dawn Till Dusk

Are You Really Can't Remember Anything

Cough... Lieutenant Utara lightly coughed to appease the awkward situation.

"Let me do it" He stretched out his hand to received bow from Senja, she gave it to him with sullen face and moved back a few steps.

A soldier gave him another arrow with fire. He stretched the bow string with composed stance.

"Which part I have to aim?" There was a trace of amusement in his voice.

"The cloth" She snorted with annoyance.

He smiled faintly before released the arrow.

DARR!!

With a loud sound the bottle exploded in moment the arrow landed. Everyone was able to saw that a big piece of tree cut from before have transform into fragment. The ground where the explosion happened left black mark and quite deep pit.

There was an expression of amazement attached on every soldier including the two leaders. They were startled with the result. Clear enough it was their first time to witness such a moment. Never they imagined that from trivial things around them this girl actually able to transform it into a lethal weapon.

"I make this with small explosion, because I am afraid it will attract attention from the other party" Said Senja calmly.

Lieutenant Utara was grinning ear to ear "Not bad purple!" He turned his head to Senja and smiled handsomely.

The corner of Senja lips twitched. Purple? What is that? A pet name?

"With this we can save our troops. Instead of sending a bunch of people we just need to send three archeries to destroy those trunks" Captain Hua elated.

"To avoid an ambush, we can spread our people and make a couple of explosion in some area to distract their attention"

"Yes, while they are being distracted we will sneak someone to ask for reinforcement"

Both of them barter their thought with low voice and solemn expression.

"All the leader team, follow me!" Captain Hua instructed, thus around ten people follow him obediently while the rest of the soldiers observed the remaining tree cut and started a discussion among themselves.

"Can I take a bath and have some food?" Senja was yawning lazily while stretching her arms.

Lieutenant Utara didn't answer her directly instead looking at her with intensity.

Because there wasn't any answer for long time, she rised her eyebrows questioningly as if she was asking "what's wrong?"

"Follow me. There are a couple of things I wanted to ask you" He said that and walked passed Senja. Actually, she doesn't really like this type of command but she couldn't retaliate from it.

"You will give me food after that right?" Her eyes were glistening with hope.

She couldn't think properly of her situation now when she was hungry. But, one thing that was true was that she must to survive in order to go back to her own world.

In the secluded area away from the crowd, Lieutenant Utara stopped in his tracked. And turned around to face her, abruptly he asked the questions that bother him since the first time he saw her.

"Are you really can't remember anything?"

Senja nodded her head, her purple hair shone brightly under the sunlight.

"Ever heard about Black Sword Clan?"

Senja shook her head.

"How about Elder Dam?"

"Who is him?"

"You don't know him?"

Senja shook her head once again, actually what was he was trying to asked?

"He is the leader of Black Sword Clan! Even his name is known to the neighbor kingdom!" He said helplessly.

"Look. I don't know him or black something Clan or Kingdom you are talking about! I don't even know where I am!" She persisted with her story about being an amnesia person. After all, all she said just now were true, that she didn't know anything about this world she was in.

Lieutenant Utara look directly into the girl eyes, not convinced "Are you sure?"
