ICE EMPEROR

THE OTHER SIDE IS MISSING

In the treatment room, where the participants of the Eartfil kingdom competition were when they suffered fatal injuries while fighting in the arena. Lying the body of a snow-white haired youth with a peaceful asleep face. His own form looked like a dragon, with scales on his arms and cheeks plus one right wing on his back making the figure of this young man almost resemble a half-dragon man. Beside him was a red-haired woman who was the same age as the lying young man, then there was also the little girl who was still ten years old who sat on the other side while holding her familiar who was in the form of a white-haired wolf, her eyes staring at the snow-white-haired young man who was her teacher. For three hours they had been waiting for the realization of the young man lying down, but until this moment there had been no sign that he would wake up. Do’a full of hope from two other women of this age they continue to aim for the safety of the snow-white young man.

“Nakya Yugi, he got so warm attention from two beautiful women.” Said the maroon-red gibboned youth who was one of the patients in the same treatment room as the snow-white haired youth called Yugi.

Hearing the envious speech of this maroon redhead young man made the girl who was beside his left snatch an annoyance and said. “Then I'm what hah.”.

“My?” reply the young man to the girl.

“Basic kak Maru sucks.” With that angry emotion, the girl with the same hair as the young man just threw a pillow into his brother's face with full force until the fur scattered everywhere. And at that moment the girl immediately left the young man who was lying down instantly when he got a surprise attack from his own sister.

“What's wrong with Maria, what's the sensation day has arrived huh. Jeez...” muttered Maruya who was confused about the nature of her sensitive sister. Then his eyes glanced at the young man who became his opponent in the royal competition, where he was defeated by the young man who was still lying limp on the mattress. He was not angry at all for being defeated by Yugi, only that the eyes glanced glimpsingly as they looked towards the wings formed on Yugi's back. ‘How can I get that power..’ is his inner words that feel disappointed in himself.

In Yugi's subconscious, under a big tree. Laying down Yugi's soul body is embraced by Yui's small body. Right behind them was the sword of Eternal Snow. You could say now they are doing a healing ritual for the soul and body of Yugi. And it was done by Yui by hugging her Master. Although Yui's healing power is not as great as Risa who is the Dragon King who has extraordinary healing abilities, but at least it can reduce the impact due to the forced use of true dragon magic. It is so, Yui's strength only excels in the field of destruction, while in healing her under the Dragon King, Yui does not want to admit it but Risa's ability can really be thumbs up.

“Emmhh...” The sigh of a young man lying limp indicates that he will wake up. His eyes frowned slightly until he had completely woken up. As he looked at the sky there, he realized that it was no longer in the arena. Then his eyes glanced to his left where there was a cute and beautiful girl sleeping while hugging him. He could also feel the magic energy that kept flowing on his body, arguably that this girl was healing him from the deep wounds. “I worry you again yes, Yui.” murmured.

“Yes you worry me again, My Lord.” Yui replied with her eyes closed, then she opened slowly, and began to position her body sitting opposite Yugi. “So how are you doing? Even if I ask that question, it's just your subconscious. I tried to heal the internal wounds but not the external wounds. It's only you who can cure him.”.

“I feel better, besides why did you call me Mister?” yugi asked in a confused tone, because he himself had asked Yui to just call his name without the addition of Master, but this Yui who was before him felt so different.

“What you say, I always call you that. Mr...”

No. No. No. There's something different about Yui. As if he doesn't remember what I said. Why would...

“Yui this is not funny, why do you call me as if we have just met.”

Although Yugi said so, Yui's next answer was never expected.

“I'm not kidding, who would joke about it Sir. Aren't you My Lord..” Yui looked confusedly at Yugi, and vice versa. But compared to a confused look, maybe Yugi's face looks like someone who is shocked because an unexpected event happened to him.

“Yui, what happened to you?” ask Yugi.

Yui tilted her head in confusion, then she glanced towards the right wing of the dragon on her Master's back. “It looks like I did forget something, but I don't know what it is. But the important thing is now Sir is fine..”.

No, what you forget is also something important. What is this, as if I have lost Yui. But he was in front of me...

“For his dragon wings, it will be gone a few minutes ahead. So don't worry.Master will be back now. Get ready, there might be someone waiting for you there.” Follow Yui with a sweet smile.

“Yui do you remember why I could be like this now?” ask Yugi.

“Of course, my lord won a competition and advanced to the final round. By using Dragon Force's true dragon magic, Master can defeat your enemies who are fellow dragon magic users.” Answer Yui.

Now he calls me so politely, as if our shared memory was replaced by something, or by someone. Someone else is inside Yui...

“Yui what exactly is it? Tell me..” Yugi panicked, and asked as he shook Yui's shoulder several times. However she was aware, Yui's expression turned fearful as she looked at her. It was as if he was the one who made Yui become like this, or indeed he was the one who made her become like this.

“A-I don't know what you mean, t-but I really can't answer a question I don't know.”

Yui spoke in a frightened tone to me... This Yui in front of me, is not the Dragon God I know. Why would...

Think about Yugi...

“That's what you said before giving true dragon power. Didn't you forbid me to use Dragon Force magic. But at that time you were watering the dragon seed that was inside my body, do you remember it Yui?” ask Yugi.

“Of course, when my Master asked to water the dragon seed, I did it as ordered.” Answer Yui.

Wait a minute, the order he said, my request was considered an order...

[This master is your wish. I exist to fulfill all your desires.].

Otherwise Yui said like that before I finally entered true dragon mode.what was the meaning of her words, it was as if the sentence itself was like a farewell. That way who is this Yui in front of me...

This is what happened to Yugi, the partner in front of him as if not his partner. Though he was the same person but his memory was like disguised with something else, and it made Yugi like losing a person who was very valuable to him. Then where did Yui go...

It's weird somehow my heart hurts so much, as if someone is yelling but I don't understand why. I wanted to cry, but I was already crying...

“Master, why your tears could go down. My lord is sad, is anyone sick?” yui asked repeatedly in a worried tone towards her Master. He did not understand why his Master was crying like that, but he was obviously very worried at the moment.

“Yui, you are Yui right. Please answer me you are Yui.” Pinta Yugi to convince himself.

But what a pity, Yui's answer couldn't calm her down...

At once my hope seemed to be taken away. I thought I could accept this, but it was not. When Yui called me Master instead of my name, it was like seeing Yui go far away...

“Aaahhhh..”

Yugi screams in fear and immediately hugs Yui. The Dragon God who was treated like that became misbehaved, his face was so flushed, he did not expect that his Master would be this aggressive. But he could not resist it, when he heard a sobbing coming out of his master's mouth.

“Please don't go Yui, I'm sorry I forced you to do that. I'm sorry if I've ignored many of your bans. Forgive me for making your heart hurt. I beg you to return Yui.. hiks hiks...”.

Hearing her Master's desperate tone, Yui gently rubbed the trembling back. He returned his Master's embrace with affection, wanting to calm his frustrated Master with the warmth of his heart.

“I'm not going anywhere..”.

No. You're gone, I know that. Something is missing from you, as if it was a punishment for me for not listening to your words. But isn't this punishment too much for me. Please anything as long as it's not this one, you can hit me, beat me, scold me as much as you can. But please don't punish me like this, it feels so painful...

At the same time, his subconscious consciousness began to leave. And his consciousness in the real world, is starting to open up. His blue dragon scales had already disappeared as well as his wings. Then the eyes looked at the roof of the building, then glanced right and left, there were two women waiting for him to wake up. There is a woman of the heart who looks at him, he should be happy to see her again. But for some reason, his heart felt so painful, his tears came back down. Surely it worried these two women, they thought Yugi had sustained such painful injuries that he cried. But it was true that Yugi had such a severe wound, and it was deep in his heart.

If asked where the pain lies until you cry? Then I will answer far away from the dark hole...

Elsewhere, a room is separate from the rest of the patient's room. It appears that Prince Vouleftis is undergoing treatment for his injuries. He must immediately heal all those wounds and recover his stamina. Since there was still one more fight he had to win, thus fighting in the final round against Yugi was no longer a dream.

“Just one more fight, then I..”.

“You better give up Prince.”

A voice that cut through Prince Vouleftis' words made him stand up instantly from his seat. Rexas the Prince of the Vouleftis kingdom saw the next player he was going to fight. The participant was wearing a black cat mask, which concealed his identity. Rexas stared in dislike at the young man who told him to give up.

“What do you mean by that?” ask Rexas.

Lugi, the mysterious participant who wears a mask and covers his head with a cloak hood. So that he could not be known about his identity, but in the arena mentioned that Lugi is an adventurer from the kingdom of Eartfil. Only that information is known. So that no one has ever seen about what the face of this adventurer named Lugi looks like.

“As I said. I want you to just give up on that fight and let me advance to the next round. After all even if you fight even once will not be able to defeat me.” His tone sounded so confident, Lugi was so sure he would win the fight later in the afternoon.

Of course Rexas is not silent. He looked back at Lugi sharply and then said. “That can beat me is just a person I consider a rival. And you I don't even take it at all. I can defeat you with just one strike.”

“That's it, fine if you still insist on the Prince. I'm waiting for the time of our fight.” After that, Lugi went from there through the wide open door.

When the mysterious participant left, Rexas immediately lowered his head. He knew the power of the mysterious adventurer, because he had also witnessed it. Its power was of the earth element, but the element itself was so powerful that it could tear apart the battle arena.

“I will definitely beat him.” Rexas muttered with determination.

In a different treatment room, another Prince is defeated by Rexas. He was a Prince of the kingdom of Swordia, Prince of Seiga. He was defeated by Rexas in the semi-finals, arguably it was a fight that made his reputation drop drastically. How could he possibly face the King this way.

“Why is your face so moody, sister.”

Seiga immediately stood up when he heard a familiar voice. And there he could see a beautiful woman who was younger than him. Like a fourteen year old. Upon finding out who had met him, Seiga subconsciously mentioned the person's name.

“Saniya... Why are you here?” Ask Seiga.

“I came here to see your fight.” Saniya, the beautiful woman with long blonde hair approached the person she called sister. He smiled at Seiga then continued his words. “If you lose even once you look really cool, brother, this is not an entertaining sentence or anything like that. But you're so cool, brother, I'll understand. I'm sure dad will also acknowledge your strength.”

“I know you won't say anything strange about my defeat. But still this thing pisses me off, I now feel like I have failed to give a good name to my family, the kingdom even to my people. I as Prince of Swordia's kingdom have failed to bear the name of our kingdom.”

Such a heartbreaking tone of voice, self-blame that he thought was too weak. Not even able to just look at the sister, of course so. Even everyone would definitely turn their faces away from the person who was precious to him when he had let down everyone's expectations. But Seiga would be wrong to think everyone is the same. There may be a few different ones, such as...

Pock

The two hands of the woman named Saniya were holding Seiga's left and right cheeks. Then facing that head to look at him, when Seiga's gaze froze in place, he was surprised to see the sad look of his sister. Then the tears fell on her cheeks, they were tears from her sister.

“I understand brother's pain, I understand that defeat. I also felt it, but the most painful thing was to see my brother slump like this. That's what hurts me the most, even for me. So don't put that face on again brother, I know big brother is a great man. Big brother is the Prince who will continue to advance and boast of the kingdom of Swordia, because the brother I know will never give up whatever happens.”

Hearing the sister's words, made Seiga speechless. He could see the feeling of spirit from his sister to encourage him. At that moment Seiga thought, from when he was weak like this, until his own sister comforted him. Everyone must be different, and this brother is one of them. Where he is more concerned with his safety than his reputation as a Prince. And because of that, he was saved by the brother who made him aware of the slump and the desire to give up. Now that his unyielding soul had returned, if this day failed then he would continue to try at the opportunity to come, an opportunity where he could scent the name of his kingdom. Surely that time will come sooner or later.

“Thank you Saniya.” Said Seiga with a smile of her spirit.

“Sama-sama sis..” reply the sister with a sweet smile on her face.

Almost everyone has faced something that is an obstacle for them, but it is just a word almost, where there is one person who is facing something very big. Something that made him lose someone very valuable. Although his body was in front, but his memory was lost without a trace...
