Horrifying... Disgusting, every step followed by a torrent of smelly blood drops, dark shadows followed, his eyes were very large and milky white. The girl looked up to see the big figure, her eyeballs shrank, and something in her chest shrank.
"Huh... That's troublesome, Kunti I want you to move away a little, this is a bit dangerous. Before the creature gets close to Monas, I will defeat it."
Genderuwo darted to scratch the creature's arm and eyes, blood spurted, scattered with a thick black color and smelled bad.
The big creature staggered, he screamed loudly until the plain shook slightly.
"G-Genderuwo!!! This is dangerous, we have to move everyone first, right!?" The girl shouted loudly, while observing the situation around the city which was still silent.
Genderuwo glanced, then his focus returned to the creature who started to walk again.
"Don't worry Kunti, the supernatural will not have a direct impact on the human world."
Genderuwo lengthened his claws, and once again, with a stomp of his big feet he shot up and ripped the big creature's stomach until its body was split into two parts.
As soon as the Genderuwo figure was visible, his body was much bigger, hairier, and a horn appeared on his head.
"What can a weak spirit like you do, I won't let you disturb the Monas Monument," he said with a growl that was more terrifying than a wild animal.
One of his hands was outstretched, and a bright blood-red light radiated from it. Something was strange... The creature didn't react at all, didn't even attack back at all, he just focused... Focused on getting to the Monas Monument even with half his body.
"Tch... Disgusting, this is why I hate the lost spirit"
Without a warning, his hand was pulled hard, his body staggered back.
"STOP!!!"
He turned his face, and saw something holding him back. The girl stood with a face full of pain... Not physically, but a heartache that was so strong, the corners of her eyes were tearing up.
"Please stop this," she said again in a very soft voice.
Slowly Genderuwo changed back to his normal form, now staring at the girl more deeply, as if trying to dive into her mind.
"What is your reason for stopping me?" Genderuwo's voice cracked very firmly, like the firmness of a true leader.
But the girl still stood firm, completely unmoved. Her hand was raised to point at the creature that had been struggling to reach the Monas Monument.
"He doesn't want to fight back... I know that, and look there's something on his body."
There was a small flash from the creature's large body, something very contrasting, like a heart, square, rusty, and... The flash was a lens.
"What is that... A camera?" Genderuwo's tone came out with a sense of peak curiosity.
Now the girl approached, and crouched in front of the creature, looking at it with something that was... Ununderstandable, a sense of love.
"Genderuwo... I beg you to take this creature to the Monas Monument."
Hearing that, Genderuwo's eyes widened, he growled loudly.
"Are you crazy!? I won't do that!!"
The girl stood up, for this time the wind blew her long hair gently. And... She stepped forward, staring at Genderuwo with blazing eyes.
"Please... I want to help him, if something happens I will be responsible! Even if it is my life I will be responsible!"
Genderuwo's eyes widened, but then quickly a loud laugh came from him.
"You are very interesting Kunti, I am really impressed, okay let's take him, but remember! Keep your words."
Now Genderuwo approached, transformed into a big one and lifted the creature's body easily.
"Damn he smells." Genderuwo said with a clear complaint tone.
The girl shook her head, then they began to walk closer to the Monas Monument.
***
Genderuwo carried the creature with an uncomfortable feeling, and his heart also felt quite restless.
He turned to look at the girl beside him, with a very confident face, and of course... A burning spirit.
Now they arrived, right near the Monas Monument, as soon as Genderuwo let go the creature moved, trying to reach Monas.
As soon as his hand touched the wall, a bright light came from his body, so dazzling that their eyes could not see.
Slowly they began to open their eyes, their eyes widened, when they saw that the disgusting and ugly creature had turned into a young man, his body shining white.
"Thank you... Thanks to you... I am relieved and no longer tormented," said the young man in a faint tone that blended with the air.
Genderuwo was pensive, his mouth gaping in surprise. Meanwhile... Kunti stood with a soft smile and a feeling of relief in her heart.
Now their gazes shifted to a camera hanging around the young man's neck, a small and ancient camera.
"Hey... Why are you carrying that?" The girl asked in surprise.
The young man turned his head, and then he raised the hanging camera high, to match its flash with the moon.
"This is my camera."
The young man's hand now clicked the save button on the camera, looking at the gray-white photo, which was his beautiful memory.
"Back then... When Monas was built, my little sister really wanted to see it, she always said she saw fairies flying there, when watching Monas from the old television screen. And... She really wanted to take a picture of it."
The girl lowered her head, her gaze looking down, her eyes dull and teary, while the young man kept smiling thinly.
"It was my little sister's birthday, but unfortunately I had an accident on the way, and didn't have time to take a picture of her, I'm really a stupid big brother."
Hearing that, the girl gasped, she approached with a clear sad look.
"You shouldn't say that... You are a great big brother, if you need help again... Just tell me, I will definitely help you."
The young man stared straight, looking at the girl's eyes that reflected the bright moonlight, and a faint smile.
"Can you take a picture of me together with Monas?"
The girl was silent, then looked up to see the towering Monas, she then nodded enthusiastically. Her hand reached out, to take an old-fashioned camera.
From behind the lens screen, she targeted the young man, and behind him the Monas towered, although it was not clearly visible. A warmth spread through her chest, she smiled softly.
One finger clicked the shutter button, she then saw the results, so good and perfect.
"Hey, look at this, this is perfect—"
The girl's eyes widened when she saw the young man's body shining brightly, slowly starting to disintegrate, like becoming a piece of light.
"Wait... What happened?" She said in a soft tone.
The young man smiled, developing a soft and beautiful smile.
"It seems like this is the time... I am very grateful to you two... Thanks to you... I can leave in peace."
The girl's tears fell, flowing heavily, the tightness in her chest was unbearable. She ran forward, trying to grab the mosaic of light to put it together, but... What could she do?
"Please don't go... Don't."
The young man's smile spread very wide, the corners of his eyes filled with tears.
"You are very kind... I am very happy to meet you."
Slowly, his body melted, the fragments of light flew into the sky, as if heading to where they should be.
The girl lowered her head, her tears flowing heavily, her hands gripping the ancient camera tightly.
"So that's his legacy," said Genderuwo beside her, in a soft tone that had never been heard from him.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me before?! Why didn't you tell me that he would disappear when I took his picture?!"
Genderuwo was silent, he looked down, to see the plains that were starting to brighten with dawn.
The clouds moved, the sky was colored pink, the sun rose from the east.
"Because that is what he chose... That is his legacy, because every spirit that has fulfilled what has been left behind... He will return to that realm."
Dawn broke, the sounds of the morning noise began to come, the sun shone brightly, when their bodies began to be highlighted and appear transparent.
"Will... If I find my legacy, I will go to that realm?"
