After leave the lounge,
Elliot and Acken went into an unused room that has neither furniture nor any
decorative item. There was only a window in the room that faced north. The boys
sat next to each other under the window. It’s finally 9.20 pm. Elliot started
to feel uneasy looking at the empty street. It is finally the time. The street
at south begun to crowd with people which was heading toward the castle. There
were two groups of people in the street. “The south group of people are from
our tribe and the nouth is known as The North Pack”, the steady looking boy finally
broke the silence after they entered the room. Not far than a mile from the
castle, something captured Elliot’s eyes. A man from north group who holding an
axe and walked closer to the south group. “What is he…” The man raised his hand
with the axe in his hand and chop down a HUMAN’S HEAD. Elliot drew his eyes away from the windows. Elliot
began to talk to Acken after a moment of silence. Through their conversation,
Elliot discovered that the tribe ELT was known as the most intelligent tribe in
the world because they invented 212. Elliot found out that the chief was the
only one who had the key for him to know the identity of the man who sent him
travel through time. The war ended at 12 midnight. That was the Elliot’s first
night in the world ELT.
After
a few weeks of tranquil life under the surveillance of Acken , Elliot begun to
get used to the world ELT. He was acquainted with a few people including Acken,
Nomy, which was a farmer and a trader called Zoick. Their world in the day was
just as simple as the ancient century in his previous world. Most of the people
living there were farmers. Compared to smith, farmer had higher social status
as they produced livestock which allowed the people in world ELT to get through
winter. In the day, the farmers raised livestock and planted crops. There was a
market near the tribe ELT’s castle. Weapons, clothes, containers and foods were
sold there. Elliot had the liberty to do whatever he wants before 212. The
falling of dusk brought the freedom of Elliot to the end and marked the
beginning of cruelness.
Everything was still
the same since Elliot came to this world. He went outside the castle loitering
around the market and went to the lush-green meadow for a long walk. Sometimes,
he helped the farmers to do their work in prairie. Someday, he just lay still
on the field and stared at the blue sky. No schooling, no homework and no
mother nagging. It wasn’t
that bad to live here as long as it isn’t during 212. In the
night, he stayed in the room with Acken. Acken always sat near to the window
while Elliot always sats far away from the window. Sometime they talked and
sometimes they don’t. But his life was starting to twist again on that night.
