Next day(Second day of meeting): Kaguramoto Hotel, specifically the Conference/ Meeting Hall
The hotel recipients opened the door to let the countries in. The first one to enter the hall was Moscow/Ilya which was then followed by Portugal. and the other countries. While waiting for other countries, Ilya was lost in his thoughts as he hold his scarf. If somebody want to ask why Ilya had a scarf, the answer was...of course he had to have a scarf in the presence of other countries or else people would be suspicious because Mother Russia never let it go unless he was alone or in the presence of his family members.
About Ilya's thoughts...he was thinking how close it was last night. He had heard Mother Russia's short story about how he did not even remember how he had been found by China on a temple floor not far from the rental house area or that he didn't know that he was sleepwalking (Ivan didn't even tell Ilya that China shouted at him for something that sounded nonsense for both of them). It really worry Ilya. Good thing that China didn't see both of them at same time or their cover would be busted. And questions would be asked. He hoped that China would forget last night.
Ilya sighed when he finished his train of thoughts and looked around to see whoever came in next. Then he saw that America looked at him with a smug smile. Or was it a smirk? America came in stood not too far from Ilya. "Nice dance last night,Russia."
That shock Ilya but he didn't show it much on his face. His heart skipped a beat though. He mentally asked himself. When did America came to the concert event? He didn't see him last night. Was he and Mother Russia found out? No, from how America said it...seemed like they were not found out yet. Then America continued, "You know what, Russia? You looked so girly and sissy dancing on the stage. Are you really a man?"
Ilya felt really angry when America insult his mama. He could hear the insulting tune in the question. And he himself felt insulted too. He felt really angry that he wanted to strangle that insolent fool. But he had to contain himself. He couldn't make a commotion in this meeting. It would make his country lose face. Though he knew that it's normal for the countries to quarrel with each other after meeting. Right this time he only clenched his fists.
America's pov:
Well, that was surprising. Russia didn't even give a witty come back. He didn't even attack me. Not that I want him to break any of my body parts anymore. Na-ah, no way! Usually Russia would 'kol kol kol' and went assaulting me but what I saw right now was that...he just gave me a twitchy mad angry smile and clenched his fists. Now, that was different from usual. Could it be that...he's trying to hide his true sadistic evil self from the other countries? To save his own face? That must be it.
Then China came in sitting across Russia. When China came in and sat across Russia, I noticed that both of them stared at each other with different expressions. Russia looked at China with widen eyes before turning it into a glare. China on the other hand stared at Russia intensely with a slight frown. Looked like both of them had some issues or feud. I wonder what it was. Then I just went to my seat, not wanting to bother Russia for a while. But it would be fun to see China kick Russia's ass. I mean China is great with his kung-fu, right?
Ilya's pov:
There he was, China sitting across of me and staring at me. Was he suspicious of me now? I bet he was currently. I glared at him in return because I remembered what mama said last night. If you think logically, mama should have been angry or holding a grudge a bit for being suddenly shouted at, no?
England's pov:
What the bloody hell was Alfred doing? He said he won't go near or talk to Russia. Why was he doing it now?
China's pov:
You are a suspicious person, Russia.
.,,.,,..
The conference was started after all invited countries were present. Somehow that day, the conference were sane, Good Lord. It was a sane meeting in a sense that people were talking about good topics and good debate. Something like this to happen is quite rare and this have to be treasured. But that treasured time was ruined again but not by America. It was not really known who started it but it made the meeting turned stupid.
Ilya just watch the scene silently before taking out his mobile phone. He text messaged to Russia:'Mama, I'm still at the meeting. Where are you?'
Incoming reply said, "I'm going out a while. You know...shopping at the malls and sightseeing. How about you? How's the meeting going?"
Ilya looked at the current conference scene and his right lips twist upwards before he messaged, "Ah~, just now the meeting was okay. Now it turned...what's the Spanish word? Ah...'Loco'. Seeing the situation now, I thing the meeting will end soon. See u later mama."
He sent the message and smirked. Suddenly somebody tapped his shoulder hard that it made him jumped a bit from his seat and the phone also jumped out from his hand but he managed to catch it. While he was catching the phone he turned his head a bit to see who tapped him and when he did, he quickly and shakily delete the message he did just now and hid his phone. With a scared expression too. America frowned when he saw this. Back to Ilya's side, after he hid the phone, he turned to the space intruder, Natalia Belarus Arlovskaya.
"Yes, Aun...Ah, Belarus. What do you want?"
Belarus slapped Ilya's back very hard that he winced and clung on his arm, "What do I want? I want to know why didn't you come at the party last night!"
"Huh? What party?" Ilya asked confusedly. He didn't even remember Mother Russia said he's going to attend a party.
"Japan's party of course!"
Ilya gaped at the answer. Then he remembered when he came out of the meeting yesterday. The other countries were talking silently in his presence about a party. So, America and Japan were conspiring to silently cut ties with mama Then he glanced at America and Japan as he answered, "Ah~. That party. I must have forgotten. I was going somewhere else last night."
"Yes~, dancing at a CHARITY CONCERT!" Belarus half screamed. People looked at their direction.
Ilya looked at Belarus in shock. "WHAT? No~!" he protested. How did she know that he was at the concert?
"Don't lie to me. I saw you in the TV at Japan's house!"
Oh, TV. Why didn't he thought about that. Of course the event was recorded to the TV. No wonder America knew. How many others know about this?
Then the bell rang, signalling the end of the meeting. Ilya want to get out faster but he couldn't because of Belarus clinging on him. What he could right at that time was to follow wherever his aunt bringing him. He didn't know that what would happen would be very bad for himself.
.,,,.,..,.,..,.,
Somewhere else.
Ivan was in a cafeteria reading a newspaper. A Japanese newspaper. He had trained himself in that language whenever he had time and had expertise himself with their writings be it hiragana, katakana or kanji. After the reading, he went out of the cafe without bringing anything because despite what he said to Ilya just now, he actually didn't buy anything yet because he hadn't planned to buy anything yet.
He walked past many high-end shops from food to accessories to toys and etc. But he stopped in front of an electronic shop called Kira Kira de Electro that sold electronic items. Ivan went inside because he's interested in Japan's technology. He looked at the high-tech televisions and phones. Then he arrived at the laptop section and found one that interested him. He inspected the laptop and felt like he wanted to buy it when suddenly something flashed in his mind. A flashback...
Flashback:
*Distorted images*
Ivan was in a narrow space with a side door beside him and also air-conditioner and radio in front of him. It's not that difficult to guess that he was in a car. In his hands was a...laptop. And he was handing that laptop happily to a person. A man...looked like if somebody look at the person's muscular stature. But the man's face...It was distorted or static like a damaged television.
"Here's the laptop you wanted." Ivan said happily, proud with his job.
The man that received that item on the other hand, didn't looked happy. How Ivan knew that? Well, while his face looked too static, Ivan could see his mouth's expression. The man's teeth gritted and let out a sound of anger.
"YOU STUPID W-(*static sound*). I DIDN'T WANT THIS ONE! DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID!? HUH?" the man yelled at him in static voice.
Then Ivan felt a pain at his head behind.
*static sound* *distorted images*
End Flashback*********888888
Ivan blinked after the flashback and looked around. What was all that about? It was weird and he didn't even remember being in that situation before. Also..the pain at his head back felt real. He ignored that weird flashback and bought the laptop.
#$
From the electronic shop, Ivan walked again in the crowds, humming to himself even though he couldn't hear his own humming because of multiple noises in the crowd. Then he found a cafe selling pretty and delicious looking desserts. He hesitated whether he wanted to go in or not because he already went to the other cafe. He then thought maybe Ilya would like to have some of those pretty desserts. Maybe he should message his son now.
Ivan took out his phone and was typing messages until a female voice called to him with both his nation and human names. Ivan looked everywhere to see who called him when actually the person was only next to him. "Malaysia, Indonesia...Brunei..."Ivan said, dumbfounded. The three South East Asian countries smiled at him while Indonesia giggled saying "Yo!" and posed a 'peace' sign. Ivan saw that Indonesia was wearing her national Batik Kebaya but was layered with a black coat that was not buttoned. Her hair was tied in a small high bun with long black tail let out.
Brunei on the other hand wore the his country's standard code of formal wear when meeting formal people, his traditional costume layered with formal coat. While Malaysia wore her traditional dress too with hibiscus flower stuck in her hair.
Indonesia looked at Ivan expectantly before asking, "Ivan, what are you doing here?"
Ivan just gaped and stuttered as he tried to find answer. Indonesia looked at the cafe's label and the contents inside. Brunei looked in too and said, "Hey, sis. This cafe looks good and 'suitable' for us to enter. Let's go in. I'm hungry after walking that far."
Malaysia and Indonesia agreed and those three siblings entered together but Indonesia pulled Ivan along. Ivan was trying to pull his arm back but Indonesia insisted that he must join them along and together they found a table for 4 of them. Each of them ordered their choices if food. Then table became silent and awkward even though Indonesia was the one being hyper earlier. All of them were giving each other awkward smile and they didn't even know why. Except Russia...of course he knew why he was being awkward. He was suddenly pulled inside by people who he didn't to talk very much with except in political situations. And he didn't know what to talk about.
Suddenly, Brunei broke the ice, "Hello, uh, Privyet, Ivan. Sorry, I just know a little bit Russian words. But your name is Ivan, right?"
Ivan nodded as he looked at the tall yet still petite man. Brunei spoke again, "My name is Shazwan Ilyas. But my old ancient name is Adi Simpur Emas."
"Why are you telling me your name?"
Shazwan blinked and then smiled before answering, "Why? Well, it's just to be fair. I know your name, so why can't you know mine, right?"
Ivan nodded in understanding. Then he asked curiously, "Why do you have two names? You don't use your old name anymore?"
"I use both names but my old name, Adi Simpur Emas, is the name I used before I became a sultanate. Though that name is still used when I'm in the other world." said Shazwan but the last sentence was actually more himself than to Ivan but the Russian man still could hear the almost quiet last sentence and he asked what Shazwan meant by other world. The petite man stuttered at the question but was saved by his sister Malaysia.
"Hello, Ivan. I'll introduce myself. My name is Salwa Nadiah. My old ancient name is Che Wan Melur which I still use till today. About what my brother Shazwan said about 'the other world', he didn't mean land of the dead, if that's what you're thinking. He was referring to the spirit world." said Malaysia.
Ivan breathed out the word 'spirit world' with widen eyes. He looked to Shazwan and to Indonesia who he already knew her name as Nilam Ratna Sri. Both of the persons nodded. Nilam the spoke, "I know that I haven't told you this...Well, I hope you don't tell anybody about what you hear right now. The truth is that we three siblings are royalties of the spirit world. Well...spirit world or fairy world or youkai world, whatever you call it. Our father was a country like four of us and is a normal human country but he married three different spirit princesses from three spirit kingdoms of SEA region. Spirit princess of the land is Shazwan's mother, spirit princess of the river and ocean is Salwa's mother. While Spirit princess of the sky is my mother."
The three siblings looked at Ivan's expression and Nilam sighed, "Yeah, I know. This sound so far fetched and fairy tale like. But we spoke the truth."
"I can see that. I admit that this sounded so fairy tale like. So...you're half brother and sisters. Are your parents still alive? And what you do as you're being a representation of your countries and being royalties? Should I call you 'Your Highness'?"
Salwa chuckled and answered, "No, you don't need to call us Your Highness. It's weird. Well, unless if you're in our kingdoms in our land, waters and sky. Our father had already gone. But our mothers are pretty much alive. Right, Shazwan? Nilam?"
Indonesia and Brunei nodded earnestly. Then Brunei spoke next, "About what we do as half royalties of the spirit uh...fairy world...and also as representatives of countries that you very well know. Well, if you ask about me, I help my mother rule the spirit kingdom. Believe me or not, my physical country that you normally see has many spirit kingdoms and I help rule one of them. As a country representative, of course I'm helping my king to make diplomatic relationships with you all other countries. Also, I have to secretly help making the humans and spirit in my country to be civilized with each other. There's so many case of humans being spirited away and being possessed lately."
"I'm the same as Shazwan here. But about humans and spirits being civilized, that's the job of paranormal humans. I have other things to worry about. " said Indonesia. Malaysia nodded along.
The table became silent again. Ivan was contemplating whether to believe what they're saying or not. But they seem to be not lying. He was thinking if General Winter exist and Snegurochka also exist, why not spirit world? Not feeling satisfied, he ask,"So, you're really half spirit/fairy and human? I thought human nations just born from parent nations."
"Not always. Some nations are born from totally normal humans or just pop-up from nowhere. If you ask other countries, you'll hear different answers about how they're born. But they're still humans. So...yeah, we're half spirit humans. How about you Ivan?" said Malaysia.
Ivan answered that he didn't really know because it's so confusing. He knew his parents are nations but he had met Ded Moroz and Snegurochka and they said that they're kins. When he asked Katyusha, she denied that they have spirit's kin. How confusing. Then he remembered the SEA siblings request for him to keep secret of their birth, "If you don't want people to know that you're half spirit royals, why are you telling me?" Ivan asked.
"Because we trust you? And we're friends?" said Indonesia. Ivan eyes widen at the word that they're friends.
"Friends? I thought you hate me because of the Soviet Union era. And aren't our friendship just political?"
Indonesia frowned at what Ivan said, "Political? Yeah, on the outside and the television, our relationship are political. But I don't always think like that. I always think that there are real friendship in our agreement. About Soviet Union era, I believe you're suffering too, like how I am during the communism."
Ivan was touched by what Indonesia said. So she didn't always think that their 'friendship' is just political. She's like Seychelles then. Ilya said his friendship and Seychelles are real. Then he thought about the communism are and subconsciously said his thought out, "I thought communism is a good thing. When I first thought about it, it made me happy because I think communism could bring my people together, united and share things together. I didn't know that it would be a bad thing. And massacring many people."
Indonesia looked at Ivan in understanding, "Yeah, I understand why you think it like that. I thought communism was peaceful like that too. But I hurt Timor Leste, my cute little sister. I regret it. And America had to mock about it to me."
Ivan looked at Indonesia sadly. They have so much in common. Then Indonesia said, "That era was very sad but I still remember something funny. I remember that during my President Soekarno's era, you and America and of course your rulers were competing to impress my president. America sent me his airship and you sent a bigger and more extravagant airship and put it next to America's one just to fetch me and my president."
The both of them then broke into a laughing fit. Malaysia who listened to the story just giggled while her half brother snickered. Ivan slowed down his laughing before saying, "Da, I remember that one. In the end...your president chose America's smaller plane over my larger one. My president was kind of angry a bit until your President Soekarno gave us a speech that really touched my president's heart and gained our huge respect."
"Oh, I'm proud of my President Soekarno. And it's a bit funny to think why was it that you and America were trying hard to impress me and my president when there ware others that you could impress."
Ivan chuckled, "I also don't remember much why. Maybe it was just a reckless competitiveness."
Their food then came to the table. Russia and Malaysia drink black coffee while Brunei eat his cake and drank hot chocolate. Indonesia ate muffins. Minutes after that, Ivan looked at Shazwan with interest, "Hey, uh...Mister Shazwan."
"You can call me Shaz, Shazwan or Ilyas. Don't need the Mister."
"Ilyas then. I'm curious about something. I haven't heard much about your country. What does it looked like?"
Shaz paused eating before answering, "My country's beautiful. Although it's not as beautiful as Malaysia or Indonesia or Phillipines or China and others, you know...like France and New Zealand and etc."
"How about the water village?"
That question made Shaz frowned and silent. Malaysia answered for him. "His water village is beautiful. But he liked his previous water village more. The one before Spain attacked."
"I've seen his previous water village. The one before Spain attacked. But that time it was not called as water village. It was a huge water city. A huge city built on stilts above the river. Houses were huge. Some were one floor, two floors and etc. And some had horned roofs like the traditional Chinese roofs. Had good water systems. Everything looked majestic. If you're going to ask me...that previous water city could rival some other Venice of the East like the ones in China or the beautiful ones you that you can see in Asia. But I wouldn't know if it could rival Italy's Venice." said Indonesia.
"Shazwan thinks that his water village nowadays is not as pretty as before and he keeps saying that he wanted to bite Spain's arm whenever he remembered that era. It's kind of taboo for him." said Malaysia.
Ivan said sorry. "Don't mind about it. It's not your fault. It's a pity that the new generations of my country couldn't see the old beauty of the village. But I guess this new village would do." said Shazwan sadly.
"What happened actually?" asked Ivan, getting pulled into the story.
Shazwan answered , "Well, what actually happened was...well, if you're reading Spain's part of the history about my country, they wrote that my people were barbaric and was the first one to attack their people without reason when they came to our land for trading. But I knew better. I was there when it happened. My king wouldn't attack without reason. Aside from Spain's reason to spread religion, it was something else. There was a letter that I think was very insulting. My kingdom, like what happened to Phillipines during that time, was called barbaric barbarians by the Spanish people. And how I translate the letter, it sounded like, 'Bow down to the rule of our great king of Spain and our civilization!'. Am I that uncivilized in their eyes? I want to bite Spain's hand but I can't just blame him all. It's not all his fault. It's his commander's fault too. And the greedy people involved."
Indonesia patted Shazwan's shoulder. "It's not only Shazwan, at almost the same time other Asian countries were attacked too. At first it looked like a fair and peaceful trade. Then, it became like it's as if we're being ganged up. Spanish, Portuguese, British and Dutch. Though I know they're not teaming up against us, it's still felt like a gang up. And our SEA kins, brothers and families were taken. Poor Phillipines lost track of most of her kingdoms' memories and old families. But Ottoman Turkey was our hero that time. He helped us at dangerous times."
Malaysia spoke next, "Now, we hope we are all peaceful and have happy good trade and tourists and friendship. Like how it was with big bro China, Yemen and the others that had peaceful trade with us centuries ago."
As Ivan listened to their stories, he couldn't help but felt what they had felt. He had been ganged up before Mongolian invasion too. He guessed that other countries might have had experienced the same. "What a brutal times those day were. I wish I could have trade relationships with all of you before and see those magnificent places you have had."
"I hope so. I wonder how old were you last time because I never saw you trading with us." asked Malaysia.
Ivan told him his age which made the siblings gasped, "You're so young. That means that you'll be our younger brother if we're to make a sibling-hood." said Indonesia.
"How could that be? You three looked so young."
"I know we looked young. And I'm proud of it." said Indonesia with two others nodding beside her. Then she asked Ivan about what she saw in Japan's TV, Ivan's dance.
Ivan said that weeks before the concert, he came to Japan alone for a vacation(but actually he came with Ilya). Suddenly a person approached him and asked whether he's a Russian. When it was confirmed,the person pulled him into a building which turned out to be the place where the concert would be held. Ivan and the person then talked with each other. It turned out that his country's concert representative, Olga Petronov was hospitalised because of accident, so, Ivan was coerced to join the concert. Nobody knew that he was a country. So, he practiced hard before the day.
"So that's why you didn't come to Japan's party." said Brunei.
"Yea- Wait! Japan had a party?"
"Yes, why did you ask?" said Malaysia. Ivan gulped and took a breath. The SEA siblings looked at each other.
"Could it be that you're not invited?" asked Indonesia.
"I don't mean to pry but if that's true, could it be because of the famed incident where America broke his legs?" asked Malaysia. Russia started to have cold sweat and he felt like he wanted to cry and he suddenly blurted out, "I didn't mean to do that to him! I swear!"
"What actually happened Ivan?" Indonesia asked, genuinely concerned. Then Ivan told them the truth of what happened.
"I don't mean to be rude, Russia uh..Ivan. But haven't you go to the mental hospital or something?" asked Brunei.
Russia's face contorted as if he was insulted, "I'm not insane! I-I...think..."
"I don't mean to say you're crazy. It just that I think you need some medical something to control whatever dangerous mind you suddenly had. If this keeps happening, people will push you away." Shazwan said again.
"I...I'll think about it. T-thanks for the suggestion."
Indonesia looked at her watch and gasped, "I think we need to go. We've been here almost two hours. We need to pack our things to go home."
All four countries paid their share of meals before going out of the cafe. Before they depart from each other, Shazwan turned to Ivan, "That was a great conversation just now. I didn't know that you're a good conversationalist."
Ivan chuckled, "I can be a good conversationalist when the time is right."
"I hope you don't tell anybody about us three being half spirit/fairy royals." said Shazwan.
"Don't worry. I won't. But I want to ask. Does my country have spirit kingdoms too?"
Indonesia answered, "Yes you do. I've visited them in diplomatic situation. I think you have almost two hundred spirit kingdoms. Some had wars against each other while some others are peaceful. Just be careful where you go and what you do. You don't know when you'll invoke whose wrath. Because your president don't rule over them. Those kingdoms have their own rulers."
Then Shazwan shook hands with Ivan for a farewell. As they shook hands, Shazwan suddenly felt something weird from inside of Ivan's hand. Feeling curious, Shazwan chanted something of a prayer and his fingers touched the skins of Ivan's hand, trying to find and diagnose something. Ivan on the other hand was curious why Shazwan didn't let his hand go after shaking hands. And his hand was touched and pressed at different area by the petite man's fingers. He asked, "Uh...Ilyas, my friend. What are you doing?"
Shazwan answered while smiling reassuringly, "Just try to find something. I feel something in your hand, as if you're sick."
Hearing that, Ivan let the petite country who was also a spirit prince do whatever he wanted. But he felt his sight swirling.
As Shazwan kept on pressing and probing Ivan's hand, then he felt it. It's like so many things crawling and making huge turmoil inside Ivan's body and suddenly, "ADAGH~!" Shazwan cried in pain as he pulled his hand back, jumping and blowing his painful hand. Ivan stood silent on his spot with blank expression as if nothing curious happened.
Malaysia and Indonesia hold onto Shazwan worriedly, asking what had happened. "You both...try hold his hand. Then you know."
The female countries agreed and both touched the silent man's hand. And they felt it too. Indonesia pulled her hand quickly in shock as she gasped, "Evil spirits. Demons. So many of them."
Malaysia on the other hand was being unlucky. While Indonesia touched Ivan's upper skin, Malaysia held Ivan's hand in hand-shaking position. And she chanted something too which made Ivan suddenly gripped her hand hard. Malaysia struggled to get her hand back and asked Indonesia for help. Indonesia successfully rescued Malaysia's hand by chanting something. "Did you feel that, Kak(sister) Nilam? Did you see that?" Malaysia asked urgently. Indonesia just nodded while looking at the tall nation. Malaysia looked too and saw that Russia looked the floor next to her. She looked at where Ivan looked and she knew what he was seeing. Her animal spirit guardian, a tiger *saka. Ivan and the tiger stared and growled at each other. "Kak, Russia saw my tiger."
"What?" Indonesia asked with wide eyes.
The two famale nations, worry that both these creatures(human nation and a spirit tiger) were going to make ruckus in the public, began to panic. Malaysia thought she had chanted something wrong to cause this. They began to shout for Shazwan's help. "WHAT CAN I DO? I'M JUST AN APPRENTICE SPIRIT HEALER! I CAN'T HELP THIS!" Shazwan shouted his sisters shakily. Shazwan, even though being half spirit, learned from many healers in his country how to do exorcism and traditional healing.
"YOU KEEP SAYING THAT YOU'RE AN APPRENTICE. IT'S BEEN CENTURIES! HOW LONG DO YOU KEEP BEING AN APPRENTICE?" Indonesia screamed at him. Ivan being a Russian don't know what language they're saying. Shazwan was going to retort at his sister when Ivan's growling became louder. The SEA sibling started to jump and flail in panic until Shazwan shakily chanted something. Ivan turned and stared at him with menace. It made the petite man almost piss himself. It took a few minutes more for him to chant until the tall menacing man in front of him to stumbled as he became himself again. Indonesia helped to balance up Ivan.
"Eh? What happened?" Ivan asked, shaking his head.
Indonesia and Malaysia asked Shazwan what he had chanted. "I chanted the enchantment that my mother taught me. It is used to lock in any possessing spirit temporarily into his/her host. While being locked in the host, they'll not able take the host consciousness. But this enchantment will only work for 2-3 months." said Shazwan.
Indonesia then decided that she would give Ivan an amulet. "What? Kak Nilam, you can't give him amulet! I don't trust any amulets. It would only cause worse problems" said Shazwan.
"I know that you're being religious, Shazwan. But I'm using my own way. Don't stop me."
Shazwan didn't stop Indonesia from giving amulet to the tall man. He only sighed many times while just chanting, "My God! This is bad. She's giving him amulets. My God~!"
Ivan just looked at Indonesia, feeling weird of why Indonesia told him to keep that amulet. "It will protect you from evil, dear friend. Always keep this with you." was the only thing Indonesia said to him.
Then the SEA siblings said goodbye to Ivan and they watched him go to his destination sadly. "I should have known that he is suffering from something else other than mental illness which I know he do. I kind of feel bad asking him to go to mental hospital. The doctors would not be able to help this kind of problem." said Shazwan.
"Yeah. I feel like it's not really him who hurt America, from how I listened to his story. I've read the forums of other countries. Even if we try to explain to them, I don't think they'll believe us." said Salwa/Malaysia.
"I hope somebody with supernatural ability and knowledge will notice and help him soon because I couldn't."said Shazwan.
"I hope so. And you, Prince Adi Simpur Emas..." said Indonesia, emphasizing Shazwan's ancient yet still used name mockingly.
"Why are you still an apprentice healer? Shouldn't you be an expert by now?"
"Hey, I can't help being scared when I see exorcism or doing one even when centuries past by. It's still scary and it made me forget my lessons. How about you, why don't you help? You got more skills than me!" said Shazwan angrily.
"I don't want to even if I could. Man should do this type of work." shrugged Indonesia.
Shazwan couldn't help but growled in annoyance. Then they went to their hotel to prepare their luggage to go home to their countries.
ppppppppagebreaaaaaakerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
So...that was the chapter. Okay, I edit this to be better than the one I post last night I really hope that it's better. So, I've some notes about SEA mystics. I'm a tourist that tour around SEA. Anyway, the idea of the three SEA siblings having spirits as their mothers was taken from a deviantartist's idea. I think his/her name was KiasuKid. It was said that days before the major modernisation, it's not rare that normal human got married with 'good people'(I'll use the Irish or maybe Celtic word for fairies). I believe Europeans also have this kind of thing happening in their lands. And this kind of happening still happens today although it's quite rare now, I heard.
Saka, from how I understand about this kind of spirit...from how I heard about this, I think it's like a spirit that you made an agreement with for reasons of protection or weapon or guardian spirit that would be inherited to your descendants. This was commonly practiced in SEA. Though I call it 'inheritance guardian spirit', the stories I heard about were mostly bad. What I heard is that, once you made a pact with any spirit to make it a saka(family inheritance spirit), you must always give it to your descendants, use it and never ignore it or leave it unattended or it would cause harm to the family and other people. I've heard from an acquaintance the her relative had one following her in a car, and that 'thing' was not hers.
See you all next time.
