“I will save you.”

​

a word that ryusen will hold forever in his heart. how he carries Kinasle becomes tighter. in his mind, there is only one thing he needs to do regardless of his survivability, Save Kina. as the land gets closer. He used his last strength to fuel the necklaces of aerial. to neglect the impact. but seconds of gliding can only do much against a fall from the atmosphere. ryusen used his left shoulder to land. a rough landing but enough to make both of them survive.

​

as they landed. Ryusen lay down kinasle carefully as he was afraid to hurt her below a tree. they are in a forest. as Ryusen gasped for air and held the pain on his left arms because of the impact, he checked Kinasle's breath, she was still breathing. That alone calmed his nerves. He then searched his surroundings and found a water spring. He replenishes himself by drinking the water and washing his face because his face is covered by dirt and his own blood. He pulled out and wet his outer. After he squeezed the water out, he carried the soaked outer to kinasle and wiped the dirt from her face. ryusen looks at his friend sorrowfully. after he washed Kinsale's face, kinasle began to react as her eyes and mouth twitching. she then slowly open her eyes. Kinasle began to regain consciousness.

​

“where is this place, it hurts.. eh, Ryusen? oh my god, you survived? thank god. Are you all alright? are you wounded? let me see it. ah don’t push yourself silly ryusen.”, as she wakes up she ignores the fact that she just woke up from passing out and immediately checks her friend. She checks Ryusen’s head and left arms with a worried expression on her face. Ryusen, on the other hand, can not react at all. He just sat still as he was surprised by her reaction. ‘Why? Why do you have to go this far? Why do you have such a big heart? she’s the one who passed out yet she is the one who worried the most? She is the one who asked how I was?” said Ryusen in her mind as he began to tremble and hold his tears. He couldn’t hold it anymore, he burst out crying as he looked down and covered his face helplessly. He struggled to say a word. but finally, he managed to say “thank you kina, I’m okay, I’m more than okay. thank you, thank you so much.”, Ryusen’s voice trembled and soaked in tears.

​

Kinasle looked at her friend in confusion at first, but she realized what happened. she smiled lightly as her finger began to run at Ryusen’s hair. Kinasle caresses Ryusen’s hair gently. “Hey, It’s okay, I’m right here, we only have us now. It's our job to take care of each other. It’s okay, Ryu.”, said Kinasle. Ryusen began to calm his emotion. “What about you? are you okay? we can rest here till the morning. we are pretty beaten up you see” Ryusen became chatty as he worried about his friend. “I’m fine Ryu, look” Said Kinasle as she pinches Ryusen’s cheeks. “OW! what was that for? and also that doesn’t even prove you are okay.” Ryusen complaint. “haha, that was for using your last resort carelessly!”, said Kinasle as she smiled brightly. Ryusen, not accepting the punishment, decided to do the same thing. but when he lifted his hand and wanted to pinch her cheeks, he decided to just poke her forehead. “and this, is for risking your life to destroy the boulder.” said ryusen, Kinasle surprised by Ryusen’s sudden attack. her cheeks redden a little. “thank you so much, Kina.” ryusen smiled. “you’re welcome, and thank you, Ryu.”

​

They took a walk after they took care of Ryusen’s arm. It’s been 15 minutes since they departed from their landing place. the silence of the night soothe and calm their hearts after a great battle. a little chat from each other also can not be avoided. “You know Kina? I see something in the far north while we are skydive.”, said Ryusen. “Hmm? what is it, Ryu?”, “a mountain!”, “mountain?”, “yes! mountain with two peaks.now that I think about it, It is the one that saves us because I realize if saw a mountain, the-”, “land is close and you ready yourself.”, Kina finished Ryusen’s sentences. “That’s interesting, why I have a vivid memory about a mountain with two peaks.”, said Kinasle with confusion.  “huh? really? maybe you see it somewhere.”, “I wonder, but I think we have to thank that mountain to save both of us,” said Kinasle Cherish. ‘She is so kind,’ said Ryusen in his mind. but after that talk, something snapped on KInasle’s mind. “Ryu, can you run? Let me hold your right hand. let’s hurry.”, said Kinasle, she grabbed Ryusen’s hand and started to pace. “eh why? Where are we going kina?” asked Ryusen but Kinasle ignored it. 

​

while still pacing, Kinasle began to talk. “do you remember the inscription on the temple?”, asked Kinasle to Ryusen. “yeah, why?”, “what is it?”, “some sort of giant floating island with a big and advanced city.”, “you see, it isn’t.”, “huh?”, “it is not, at first we think that is what the inscription says. the farthest sunken sky.”, “I'm listening.”, “It is actually-”, Kinasle stops her talking as she stops running. She stops to see the scenery. our eyes both widen. “it was actually an advanced civilization near a mountain.” she finished her words.

​

what they see is what Kinasle says. an advanced big city filled with life. the city emits the brightest light they ever saw at night. It comes from transportation, city lights. and even pedestrians' houses. the city filled with skyscrapers that could challenge the floating sky. with a further view, there is a mountain with two peaks. 

“This is, this is-”, Ryusen struggles to find the words, he looks at kinasle when Kinasle still gazes at the view. Kinasle finished Ryusen’s sentences.
