ICE EMPEROR

ACCEPTING THE DARK SIDE

Where I am. again dark, and also cold, like drowning into a sea of ice. My chest felt tight, it was hard to breathe, my heart was beating so fast, as if something was pressing on me from within...

I don't know why I fell deeper into the ocean...

Anyone, please give me your hand...

Mothers... Fathering...

Artificial dimension

“Ghahahahaha. Such a beautiful view.”.

Yugi's body is still in control of uncontrollable emotions. The change in his physique was so significant that his body stood limp like a zombie. His gaze was empty that knew neither friend nor foe. Just silence with the breath that continues to emit thin white smoke typical of wild animals. Shadow who saw that just laughed loosely with a happy smile, seeing Yugi in control of the emotions of hatred and the desire for revenge. What Shadow truly said was the moment he had been waiting for.

Yui is still hovering above them, her helplessness to help her master pisses Yui off and gets angry at herself. But he thinks it's not gonna do him any good. All he can do is pray that a miracle will come to the rescue of Yugi.

Why am I here again...

Yugi sees his reflection reflected, in his vision, he sees his own body reflected. But there were some differences, her hair black as the night dark, eyes red as blood with vertical black pupils in the middle. The reflection of himself was smiling demon towards him. As if he was mocking her from inside the mirror.

“Yaaaa, this is a reflection of you... Yugi.”

L'm...

“Yes, I am Shadow..your shadow.”.

My shadow...

“Keep immersed in the pit of hatred, live for revenge. You're just a lonely boy.”.

I. alone...

“Not mind them anymore now.” A circle-shaped seal with a complicated script written on Yugi's chest. The black seal was like an image of black snow with chains surrounding Yugi's body. Slowly but surely Yugi's right hand moved towards the seal to remove it. “Good... continue, I promise to give you matchless strength... ghahahahaha..”.

I couldn't control my own body, as if someone was controlling my hand to grab a piece of writing on my face...

Yes, that's it. Who cares.

I'm tired of all this...

Yugi is resigned to his current state, as if there is no spirit to live. His emotions had already completely mastered Yugi's consciousness.

“Wait a minute..” A hand grasps Yugi's right hand and stops Yugi's activities wanting to remove the seal on his body.

Whom...

“No way, why are you here huh..”.

“Whispering... I want to talk to my son, you better just go.” The man flicked his left finger and made the dark room turn white. His dark face was now clearly visible. A man in his 27s looked at Yugi gently. His short black hair was as flat as the night sky, his eyes were also black in tune with his hair. His high stature exceeds Yugi's height, if seen again he almost looks like Yugi in the adult version. With his clothes all black with black robes fluttering behind him. Apparently that handsome one could make any girl would be fascinated by him.

“...” Yugi was only able to be silent looking at his father figure with a surprised face.

“Why are you so dumb. This is your father Agul the ruler of the greatest wind element in the kingdom of Aries. Is it because of my good looks that fascinate you. But sorry yes, your father is still normal tau.” he said with narcissism.

“Dad...” call Yugi slowly.

“Yes what is my great son?” Ask Agul to Yugi.

Grep

“...” Yugi hugged his father so tightly that he was full of longing, tears began to flow and shed so much affection. Although he knew this must be a dream, a dream of his will to meet his father again.

Like a child who gets a gift on his birthday.This father is enough to make me happy. Although we may be separated again, because I know this must also be just an illusion...

That's enough, I just want to be with my parents...

“Basin a crybaby, didn't dad say never to cry again.” Agul stroked the white mane of his son with the affection of a father. A warm smile was always clearly on his face. My gaze with a radiance of longing for his son.

Yugi releases the hug while wiping away his still flowing tears. For a moment the atmosphere became silent, after Yugi finished wiping away the tears on his cheeks, he looked at the father while saying. “Dad anywhere, this is really dad right..?”

“You do not recognize your own father huh... basic, this is really dad know..” cried Agul with a childish tone.

“Hehehehe. The nature of the father never changes yes.” said Yugi with a typical happy smile of a child who gets a toy.

“There's not much time left. First of all I'll fix your nearly broken seal. Next time control your emotions it is yes.” Agul touches Yugi's chest with a snow-shaped seal in black. Instantly the seal began to turn blue and disappeared into Yugi's body. “Good, this is enough.”

“Dad...” call Yugi.

“Daddy knows you have a lot of questions about a lot of things that have happened, but now I don't have much time. I left the rest of my energy in your body to keep the seal safe, when the seal would be destroyed I would come to fix it, but I could only do it once. All you have to remember is one thing, do not use the power of darkness in your heart. Use your own strength to protect those you care about. Understand, oh yes additionally, one day you will meet your mother, Aria.. Under certain circumstances, your mother will save you.” little by little Agul's body fades like a yellow glowing glass flake. With the warm smile of a father, Agul leaves without regret in his life.

For a moment Yugi was surprised by his father's last statement, Yugi wished that he could be reunited with his mother as soon as possible. “Dad, I will definitely protect the precious people in my life. I promise..” muttered Yugi. “Now, it's time for me to return..” he continued.

Yugi's body, which was previously covered by evil air, is now slowly fading away. His black hair turned white again, his blood-red eyes began to disappear replaced by the soothing blue of the sky, his clothes became blue again with a snow-tone pattern, every protruding vein on Yugi's skin had already disappeared, long nails retract back. Look Yugi who returned as usual without any trace of blisters. His eyes looked at Shadow who was still standing in front of him with a calm face.

“T-no way, you should have been drowning in darkness. How could you..” said Shadow surprised by Yugi's regained consciousness.

“No need to be surprised like that Shadow, the affection of parents can not be defeated by darkness.” Said Yugi with a confident smile.

“Damn it, he has repaired the seal. He already has a lot of preparation apparently.” muttered Shadow who can still be heard by Yugi.

“I won't be stuck in the dark anymore, now I can control my emotions. You can't get me into the pit of despair anymore. And also it seems you know a lot about the seal inside me. Though I myself only found out after my father fixed it..” said Yugi at length.

“Heh, indeed you think you can defeat me now hah.. I told you we are the same, your strength and I make no difference. So don't expect you to win.” Said Shadow in his arrogant tone.

“I won't fight..” Yugi walked closer to Shadow without fear of being attacked.

“What do you mean, you won't be able to defeat me if you don't fight.” Shouting Shadow.

“I know our strength is the same, so there is no meaning for us to fight.” said Yugi.

“Then give up and submit to kegela-..”

“But I also will not give in to the darkness, because you are me, and I am you.” said Yugi who cut Shadow's speech with his warm smile.

“Of course I am angry, but replying to evil with evil is not the right path.” Said Yugi who was getting closer to Shadow.

“Then do you hate this me, I want this revenge...Do you hate meuu..” cried Shadow.

“Of course not..”

Grep

“I cannot possibly hate myself..” Yugi hugged his dark self with warmth. To calm himself who is consumed with hatred and the desire for revenge.

“Why.... can you be that strong..?” Shadow asked in a soft voice implied by the calmness.

“Because, I have friends supporting me from behind..

After Yugi says it, the shadow of the people who are very valuable in Yugi's life appears and shows a warm smile to him. Shadow who saw that just stared in disbelief with tears coming down her cheeks. At first glance Shadow's body began to turn into something like Yugi. Now they look like indistinguishable twin brothers. A bright smile was plastered clearly on his face, showing a relief and warmth.

“After the departure of mother and father... Grandpa, Sara, Elsa, Elna, Risa, and Yui. Everyone, they smile at us. You and me. So eliminate the hatred in you. We can start a better life.” said Yugi.

“You are, really very suck..” Shadow said in a voice similar to Yugi.

“Sorry that I suck..”

Suddenly Shadow's body disappeared and entered Yugi's body slowly. A bright smile she showed towards Yugi while saying. “Thank you..” after saying that, Shadow finally disappeared from the presence of Yugi.

“I should be the one to thank you..” Yugi looked straight ahead with a smile hinting goodbye to his other self. “Now, Yui..” Yugi turned his body and looked at Yui. “I think the test is done..”

“That's how...” said Yui with a full smile of relief.

“I didn't expect that inside me there was that monstrous power.” Said Yugi slowly.

“I told you already, you have the potential to be the strongest.” Yui walks in front of Yugi and hugs him tightly. Her body trembled violently, the fear of losing your loved ones felt by Yui.

“Sorry, again I worry you.” Yugi also returns Yui's embrace so as not to worry about her anymore.

In the real world

The three girls, who were initially overwhelmed by anxiety and concern for their loved ones, are now beginning to feel relieved. The darkness that enveloped Yugi had disappeared replaced by a soothing white light.

“In this way, the test is over.” said Risa with a relieved smile on her face.

“Thank God..” muttered Elsa whose heart began to feel relieved.

“Kak Yugi..” Elna smiled happily at the news that Yugi had finished his test.

“Supposed he'd be back soon now..”.

After Risa said that, suddenly the ball of light that confined Yugi began to slowly disappear and broke into small fragments. Yugi who is still in his Eternal Snow mode is only able to stand with his eyes still closed. Slowly the fashion began to disappear as Yugi opened his eyes. A warm smile he gave to the three girls who were staring at him.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm back.”.

“Welcome back.. master/Yugi/sister Yugi..” say the three of them together.

The Northern Kingdom of Esla looks very peaceful with its rejoicing inhabitants. A smile is unceasingly seen in every citizen. Many of them work, shop and many other activities. In the palace itself, they were preparing everything in a hurry. Because Yugi who is the future Emperor candidate has completed his training and will soon return to the palace. Hearing the news, the noble king of Reulad immediately made preparations to welcome them.

“Addict fast little..”.

“This is also fast tau..”

The servants continued to riot because they prepared various things needed to welcome their arrival.

“Allanyaaaa.. march.” The soldiers who had lined up neatly in front of the palace gates. So neat and straight, what a soldier who has been trained in such a way.

“Hoi hoi... What is the cuisine is not ready.”.

“Come even faster..”.

The palace chefs were also preparing food to welcome their arrival.

While with guests of honor who will return to the palace of Northern Esla. They stopped at a hot spring. This was suggested by Elsa. He said earlier to Yugi who had completed the last test of his training. “Before we return to the palace, we must clean the body first, they must now be welcoming our arrival. So we have to look clean and tidy.” that is. Now Yugi is cleaning himself in the men's bathroom. While the girls were opposite Yugi which was only limited to a wall made of wood. After Yugi finished washing his body with water, he immediately soaked into an enormous hot spring for a few people. But now Yugi is only alone, because the bathhouse that should be for the public has been rented by Elsa in full. So only they are soaking in this hot spring. Yugi saw the view of the starry sky above his head, with one moon shining brightly there.

“New first time I soaked in the open bath, it is beautiful to see the moon while soaking like this.” Yugi Mumbles.

As for the girls themselves, they do a chain back rub. Slowly and gently so as not to damage the skin.

“Your skin is very smooth Risa..” said Elsa who rubbed Risa's back.

“Thank you..” reply Risa with happy tone. “Nona Yui, your skin never changes huh. Still as white as snow and also smooth.” continued Risa.

“...” while Yui just shut up and enjoy the rubbing from Risa. But for a moment Yui realized something. “Hey, have you guys seen Elna?”

Elsa, who just realized it, was also surprised to see her sister was not here. “Didn't he just soak..”.

“But there is no one..” said Risa while looking at the place to soak.

“Aaaaaahhhhh..” They just realized an oddity at the same time and shouted loudly. “EEELLLNNNAAAAAAA.

While Yugi who heard the scream was just indifferent while enjoying the feeling of soaking in the baths dubbed as the bathhouse of this five-star hotel. For a moment a bright eye was seen peeking out from behind the rock. While Yugi was completely unaware of the figure of someone who was peeking at him bathing with a grinning face.

“I found you, brother Yugi.”.
