Red Yellow Black

Episode 14 - Talent Recognition

The young man walking fast did not want to be on par with Naryla, so Naryla had to run small following him. Arriving at home, the young man took a spear, but at the pointed end there was something black. Exactly like,

“Pencil? So big..” said spontaneously Naryla saw the thing, “You want to write where with a pencil that big?” chaos again.

“Hm.” Again the young man answered in the same way.

“You're still mad?” ask Naryla, “Oh ayolaah do not be a man who likes to snack,” said Naryla who this time did not even respond.

The young man picked up some supplies and then came out again. Yes, Naryla also intends from behind like a chick following its mother. They're headed for the beach where Naryla floated before.

“Good afternoon Mr..” greet the beach residents make Naryla amazed, “dan Miss,” connect they make both astonished.

“Sore..” answer them simultaneously. They walked again to a boat parked on the beach. The young man remained silent but there was no rejection when Naryla boarded the boat.

“Where are we going?” naryla asked again unanswered. He decided to shut up afterwards.

Breeze blow open sea water so that the bottom of their boat kicked the waves. The sound of seagulls accompanied their journey towards the middle of the sea. Naryla's gaze was straight ahead after previously shoving her face slightly to the left.

Once far enough out into the sea, the young man took out a large pencil-like object and looked into the surface of the sea next to him. Once convinced, he threw it like a spear.

“Argh! Shocked,” said the young man when he turned his head and suddenly there was Naryla's head beside him.

“Hehehe..” replied Naryla cengengesan. “Do I have to apologize then he will want to talk to me again?” inner Naryla.

Because the atmosphere was so unpleasant, Naryla finally started talking.

“Hey, I'm sorry about earlier,” said Naryla started and has not been answered by the young man, “and thank you for everything.. Are you going to keep making me feel guilty by being annoyed and silent like this?” connect Naryla.

The young man finally turned to Naryla and said, “Alright no problem, I'm already not upset with you.” His face began to be friendly.

“I want to ask you a lot of things,” said Naryla again.

“It's not me who should ask a lot about you?” answer the young man.

“Okee fine, we ask each other okee?” growled Naryla, “First of all what is your name?”

“Call Xero,” he replied, “and you?”

“Naryla,” Reply Naryla, “What is this place?” ask her again.

“Your question is strange, yes in the Kingdom of Sterm lah.” Xero was confused by Naryla's question.

“Kingdom Sterm?” ask Naryla again, “in which part of the earth?” continued.

“Earth? There is no area called earth here,” replied the young man was more astonished, “Now it is my turn, where are you from?”

“Earth.” Naryla answered briefly..

“Actually what and where is the earth?” Xero.

“Earth is a planet, the third planet from the sun and often called the blue planet.” Naryla was confused as to how to explain it.

“Is it like here? There's oceans, mountains, trees, fish?” ask the young man enthusiastically.

“Yes, it's just that animals on earth cannot speak, and humans cannot float by themselves,” replied Naryla again.

“Ohh, actually not everyone can understand when they talk, only those who have the talent to talk to them can understand. If whose talent in other fields, then only will hear the animals sound as usual,” explained Xero, “Oh maybe your talent is also the same as one of my talents.”

“Contact,” answered Naryla remembering what the handsome rabbit said earlier, “Oh yes, how can I be here?” Finally Naryla's main question came out as well.

“A week ago at the same time as now I saw you hovering a little above the surface of the seaside sea with a lot of bruises and cuts, it looks like there are broken bones as well,” Clear Xero.

“Not, Grandma Kane did it, I'm not talented for it, I just took you to grandma's house.” Xero replied while checking the spear pencil earlier.

“Oh yes, how does that pencil work? I thought you were going to write in the field,” Naryla is half-literate Xero.

“Hap! Our dinner.” Xero released a sea fish as big as a newborn baby weighing 3 kg from the tip of a spear pencil.

“You see this?” Xero pointed at the black part that we used to engrave letters on paper, “This I've given talent to follow the sound of fish in there, then he hunts himself and returns after getting prey.”

“Whoaa kerenn.” Naryla was amazed to hear it, “I want to know what my talents are.”

“OK later we go to the grandmother's house, he is also talented to check the talent that someone has through his blood,” Xero's response to the expression of admiration Naryla earlier.

“Blood? Do I have to be injured first can be checked?”

“Quiet just need a drop, not much.” Xero again steered his boat to the shore.

***

Xero and Naryla are back on the beach. Naryla asked Xero to wait by the beach alone while he took a knife to clean the fish before it was burned. After returning with a knife and some seasoning, they cleaned the fish together.

“It's done.. Let's go to the field, which you said field,” take Xero. They also immediately headed for the land.

“You go first, I take something to make the fire,” pinta Xero on Naryla.

“Okee..” answer. Naryla then thrust a wooden rod into the fish that was ready to cook it while waiting for Xero so that it could be burned immediately.

“I'm coming,” greet Xero replied with a smile by Naryla.

Xero carried a stone in his left hand and a glass of water in the other. Naryla was again astonished. Xero arranged the wood, some charcoal was ready to burn and left little room for his hands to enter the fire. Naryla only looked because she was worried that she would cause trouble, because she did not understand such a thing.

Xero placed the flat pebbles he had brought under the pile of firewood, then doused them with water from the glass. There are sparks of fire that then become going to burn their fish catch.

“What is it? Why after you water the fire instead?” ask Naryla.

“Ohh, is on earth not like this?” xero asked back and forth to start putting fish on the fire but not touching the fuel, “This is rubidium (rb), this metal is very reactive with water because it is classified as an alkali metal. So if we give a small piece of rubidium with water little by little it will emit a spark. But don't you ever throw a lump of rubidium in a lot of water, it will explode.” Naryla nodded in understanding.

“So everyone in the Kingdom of Sterm uses this way to light a fire?” naryla asked spontaneously.

“Not all, only I am too rich so use this hahaha,” joked Xero.

“Ooh so you're rich.It's worth your house nice like that even though it's located at the end of the beach,” response Naryla.

“Hahaha, no no, my house includes a small one, in the middle of the city many of whose houses are made of gold mixture. Sterm Royal Palace even partly uses 95% pure Platinum,” explains Xero, “My parents have several metal mines one of them rubidium, so I bring a little for me here,” he continued.

Not only was Naryla's mouth agape, but her eyes and ears were also nearly dislodged at Xero's explanation.
