《The Inhabitants》Chapter 3. Promise
Advertisement
3 days have passed since the fire broke out. Lando woke up on the second day. He woke up in a room of the orphanage main building. Almost all of Lando's body was wrapped in bandages. According to the explanation of his fellow caretakers, he understood the situation. Johanes stepped in to save him and then fell unconscious. His mother was not found. The orphanage only contains weak people and children, they do not have the power to extinguish the burning wood building. Also, the water source is quite far from the burning building. They could only watch the building burn to the ground.
Johanes who has a weak body, breathed his last on the 2nd night. He was poisoned by the smoke. Lando felt very lost. Johanes is a parent figure to him. Since childhood, Johanes was the only one who cared about him and his mother. Johanes told Lando many things, one of which was his big dream of world peace which he thought was impossible to achieve by war. Peace that is achieved through war, will not last long, there will only be the seeds of war for future. Johanes himself still doesn't have an idea on how to get the peace he dreams of, so he decides to protect the children. According to him, children were the key of peace in the future. Although Lando always said Johanes was naive in his way of only saving without fighting, Lando respected Johanes' dreams.
Lando recalled the time he was unconscious. At that time Lando experienced something extraordinary. When he was unconscious, Lando felt himself in a very strange place. As far as his eye could see, only an empty white. Lando felt his body so light, he could actually float if he wanted to.
While Lando was trying as many things as he could, there were 2 people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of Lando. They had the same face as Lando. After that came two more, the first came from above and second came from underground, both of them also had same appearance as Lando. Before Lando could say anything, the four of them touched Lando. By the touch, the four slowly fuse into Lando's body. At the same time, knowledge entered Lando's head.

When a human being is born, apart from the main soul there are four spirits formed. Two spirits are in the human body together with the main soul, while the other two are left. Although separated, the two spirits still maintain their connection to the main soul. The connection usually appears in form of dreams or some feelings of deja vu when someone is in new place or new experience. Those dream or feeling of deja vu were formed by his or her separate spirit experienced before.
Of the four spirit, first spirit was formed from the hopes of a mother during pregnancy. When a human was born, this spirit floats to the sky and through its connection to the main spirit, this spirit builds human ambitions and dreams.
The second spirit is formed from blood that flows in the body. This spirit has role of flowing energy throughout the body.
The third spirit is formed behind navel which is the feeding channel for fetus in mother's womb. This spirit acts as a center for gathering energy for humans.
The final spirit is formed from placenta that takes care of fetus during the pregnancy. If the first spirit which contains hope loves to fly freely in the sky, this last spirit contains worries and bad prejudices. So that when a person was born, this spirit goes into the ground and hides.
The merging process of soul and four spirits that Lando experienced happened slowly. Lando found himself on the second day after regaining consciousness. Lando immediately got out of bed because he felt a little itching all over his body, especially his face. He stood in front of mirror and removed the bandages around his head. The burns on his face began to peel off and new muscle tissue began to grow which could be seen by the naked eye. Lando immediately took a new bandage and re-wrapped his head. Lando is skilled at using bandages on himself as his head was often injured from throwing stones in his childhood.
