Chapter 10 : Enjoying Earth (3)

Keinnayi P.O.V

"Lady Keinnayi. Wake up. We are here." (Sethar)

Sethar's voice wakes me up from the sleep and I get up to see sea of clouds from the small window, no, windshield, is it? Anyway, I can spot an island or two in the ocean between the sea of clouds and I walk out of the bedroom I was sleeping in.

*Typing noises*

Whoah. He is still typing. It can't be that he is typing nonstop, right? Looking at the clock, I have been asleep for more than three hours. So, it roughly took four hour, nearly five from the 'Japan' country to this 'Philippines' country. But, it seems the plane is not planning to go down at any second. I sit down at the soft sofa that is the same type as the one in Embra's house. Seeing that Sethar also took a seat beside me, I ask her while drinking a glass of water she gives me.

"Did you not sleep, Sethar?" (Keinnayi)

"I was learning how to use the laptop from Sachiko. So, I didn't get any sleep. But, I learned a lot from her. So, I can teach you if you want." (Sethar)

Sachiko is the last of Embra's bodyguard. Embra introduced us while having lunch from one of the boxes that are carried over to the plane before we depart. He introduced us that they are apart of his personal guards that he is currently training on his island. It seems he still have the army of thirty five soldiers on the island. If we were to add all five female on the plane, he has a small army of forty soldiers.

I was thinking, well that is a little small to guard one of the wealthiest man in the world, Embra casually said that all of the soldier are female. I cannot believe it. Female soldiers? Sethar was not interested in that but, I am. I don't know what makes me but, my inside are burning. I feel like I want to hit Embra and accuse him but, before I act according to my hearts, my brain stopped me.

Logic side of mine is not interested in Embra having forty female soldier or whatnot and do not care about the reason he create it. But, my mind, my heart is burning with an emotion that is not anger. I feel frustrated and want to ask him why would he create it and why only females but, in the end, logic side of mine win over my heart side.

I really don't know what is happening to me. I really could not understand why in the world am I feeling this. With conflicts in mine, I feel exhausted. So, I retire to the bedroom early and sleep a few minutes after we have lunch.

Now, we are almost to the island. According to Sethar, we would reach there after ten minutes. Since the moment I wake up, I could not look at the three attendants in their eyes. It is not because I hate them or they are too ugly. No, they would be beautiful, by the standard of this mortal world. The reason I cannot look at them and because I am feeling anger to them, which I don't know why. I want to understand these feeling of mine that are too foreign to me.

While I was lost in thoughts, Sethar come and buckle me up, an indication that we are descending to the island. But, before Sethar could sit on her seat and lock the buckle, Embra close his laptop. He pick up a small phone beside him and instruct the pilots at the cockpit.

"Do not descend yet. Circle around the island. Anticlockwise." (Embra)

The plane descend a little more and then become stable just a few minutes after. Embra point out to the window with his thumb and says proudly,

"Ladies, if i may, I want to direct your attention to your left side... Welcome to my island 'Rain' " (Embra)

The island is huge. I think it would be the same size, no, bigger than Tokyo. There is a huge and long building at one side of the island. I think it is where the accommodations for the people are. I can see huge lake at the center of the island too, along with a clearing not too far from it. I am sure that that is where the soldiers are trained. I cannot clear distinguish but, it seems there are people at the clearing. Ugh, mortal body is so uncomfortable.

But, what caught my attention is one side of the island where there is a beach. It is not a normal beach, it is a beach inside the island. My face is glued to the small windshield as my curiosity is piqued at the inner beach of the island. Interesting. Soon, Embra told us that it would descend soon. We all takes a seat and buckle up.

The landing is also unique. A question about how this plane would land appear in my head when I see the island because there is no runaway on the island. Well, my question is answered soon when a big splash of water hit the side of the window and we lean forward. Did we land in the water? I feel the plane slowly decelerating after a minute.

I thought something happen to the plane but, it seems I am wrong. Because I soon could see sandy beach and trees on my left side. Wait, trees? I turn my head around just to see trees on the right side of the plane too. It is not only me, Sethar is also looking around. We are the only ones who is thinking that maybe something went wrong but, Embra answers while laughing at our face,

"*smile*Nothing bad happened. Relax. We are here. You can un-buckle" (Embra)

Embra is the first one who unbuckle the seat belt and walk towards the door where Hanako is already waiting. Chie and Scahiko are already beside us, waiting to escort us. Hanako open the door when we reach there and I really want to question how she opened that heavy door alone. When we reach outside, there is a long ladder in front connecting to the land not far away. Ten soldiers who are wearing dark green uniform are all lining in two column at each side of the ladder.

As I expected, all the soldier are female but, their face is stern like a real soldier would and they are all saluting Embra with their right hand on their chest and bowing their head. As soon as we reach the land, Embra says calmly while walking with dignity,

"At ease, soldier. Delilah!" (Embra)

At Embra's words, the soldier stand up straight and turn aside. They stand shoulder apart with their hand behind their back. Now that I look at it closely, their is a unique black lining all over their dark green uniform. It is not the same as the ones I saw in the phone. It really is Embra's own army. How powerful is he in this world?

My thinking is interrupted when a soldier with good physique, who is a head taller than other soldier walks up to Embra and walks beside him while bending her waist a little. She is tall, even taller than Embra, who is 5' 11", something I learned at the designer's shop. The soldier's hand are behind her back and it seems she truly respect him because of her eyes that are looking at Embra, not as a man but, a superior. And, it is just me or am I feeling relief?

"Delilah, the two behind me are important guest. Treat them as you would treat me. Issue them security clearance to all the facility. As long as they do not destroy something important, you do not need to report to me whatever they do. Oh right. Anything personal you hear from them, keep them secret, too." (Embra)

"Yes, Boss." (Delilah)

Embra stops when we reach the read of the line created by soldiers and turn around towards us. He gestures us to turn around. Oh, it seems the three flight attendants are already in the lines. The soldier turn towards Embra and stand firm on the ground while paying their utmost attention to Embra. It seems they all respect him. Again, why am I feeling relief?

"Soldiers, Remember these two. They are important guests. Treat them as you would treat me. Is that understood?" (Embra)

The soldiers all bring their legs together answers with loud and clear voice,

"Yes, Boss." (Soldiers)

"Dismissed" (Embra)

After the soldiers stand shoulder apart again, they relax their stance and some goes towards the back of the plane on the big boat while some aboard the plane. I think they are going to transport the goods on the plane. Wait no that I look at it, the plane is floating on the wide river.

Are my sight of mortal body that bad? Why didn't I see a wide river when we are circling above the island? According to the picture in my mind, I think this direction lead to the lake at the center of the island. What is going on? When I turn side away, my eyes meet with Sethar's who is also as confused as I am. But, the man who took us here do not speak a thing or two about our confusion and muttering softly while covering his ears,

"Ugh, How many times do I have to tell them not to shout? My ears are ringing." (Embra)

But he do not tell anything and turn around to walk back. We follows Embra again who is walking towards the trees. As we come close to the trees, we begin to see a clearing not far away just behind the trees and there are cars parked there. I looks at Embra who is walking among the trees like it is nothing for him. The road is too narrow for two people to walk side by side and the soldier, Delilah, is waiting for us at the small road that Embra took.

She salute us and gesture us to follow Embra. Sethar let me go first and she follow behind me while Delilah is at the back. We soon reach the clearing in a minute and see Embra walking towards the biggest car among all the cars here. The car Embra is heading towards looks like an iron box but, it looks strong and study. There are six wheel in total and it looks majestic like a strong fortress with its black color. I wonder is it also specially made car for him. But, from the corner of my eyes, I caught something interesting.

Sethar is looking at a particular car interestingly. I have been with her for thousands of year and I know her eyes. She is interested in that car. My eyes turn towards the car she has her eyesight on and see that it is the car painted like soldier uniform.

"I knew, you will like it. That's why I instructed them to bring it here. Want it?" (Embra)

It seems I am not the only one who saw Sethar looking at the car. Embra mischievously smiles like a child and fold his hands in front of his chest. He smirks at Sethar and ask arrogantly while looking down on her,

"Want it? It is Lambo Aventador Model with Camo Wrap. It is military grade, you know. Only Delilah, as the leader of my personal army, is allowed to drive it. Do you know what I mean?" (Embra)

Oh? So he wants her to be his soldier? Oh dear. She would definitely respond like -

"Not a chance!! Dream on." (Sethar)

Yep. That is the Sethar I know. But, strangely I do not mind Sethar being a soldier under Embra. Really.. What is happening with me.

"Don't be too angry. I was joking. Oh right, you should introduce yourself, Delilah" (Embra)

With Embra's words, the tall soldier introduces while saluting to us like she did to Embra earlier. As expected of a Monarch, his soldier salute to us because he told her to treat us like they treat him. Alright. Let's greet her too. Oh right, for Sethar.., oh right there is that too. Yep. It is the best.

"Name is Delilah. I am the leader of Boss's personal unit and responsible for the security of the island. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to order me." (Delilah)

"Hello there. I am Keinnayi Dewei. You can call me Dewei and can be comfortable with me, if you want. This here is Sethar.., my sister." (Keinnayi)

NHehe You didn't expected it, right? I know it as soon as I look at Sethar's face who is looking at me while asking with her eyes whether I did a mistake in introducing her. No, Sethar. This is a good opportunity. We are already on a vacation in this mortal world. So, I am going to mend our relationship which I didn't get the time to because of my duties as a God.
