The Ice Heart's
Episode 9 - Story About Ying
“Mon Clara,” call Rei.
DEG!
Somehow Sea looked up scared to see Rei. His trembling hands made the smartphone and umbrella slip out of his grasp.
“That's you, right?” continue Rei.
The drizzling grains felt increasingly large and bushy, pouring down the surface of the earth mercilessly.
Sea's feet trembled violently, frightened to see the figure before him. Her hair, uniform, and bag were getting soaked.
Rei took a step at a time slowly, making the trembling Sea even more intense.
“Quite, Rei,” said someone who appeared from behind Sea.
The man used an umbrella, deliberately slightly grasping his umbrella forward so that Sea was protected from the rain.
“This is none of your business, Zack.” Reply to Rei in a cold tone.
“Indeed not,” reply Zack then walk forward past beside Sea then thrust his umbrella to Sea.
Sea stared at the confused person he didn't recognize, then received the umbrella Zack gave him.
“But in a moment the doorbell rings, reminding other friends to go to class is the responsibility of students too right?” zack continued while picking up the fallen Sea smartphone.
“Sorry to get you wet,” Zack told Sea while prodding the Sea smartphone.
Sea.
“Quick to class!” said Zack who took refuge under Rei's umbrella then embraces Rei, forcing him to walk immediately away from Sea.
Sea's hands and feet were still trembling, the red umbrella he had used to depart had already been blown away by the wind.
“I'm why? Why is this fear?” ask Sea to himself.
Sea then stepped towards the classroom, fighting the trembling feeling that spread at his feet.
Meanwhile on the other hand, Zack who was embracing Rei forcefully clasped Rei's head.
“Aduh!” peekkik Rei's.
“Basic! What were you doing, huh?! You think that Sea the Primadona School is Miss Clara?” ask Zack.
“I didn't expect, it was indeed him,” reply Rei who was upset his head was clenched while tidying up his messy hair.
Zack was silent for a moment.
“You sure? But he's a Human Clan like me?” ask Zack again.
“Surely something happened that made him have to hide in that form, I'm sure it must have something to do with the passing of my father and mother!” reply Rei
Zack exhaled a rough breath.
“Can you see the light? I'm a little surprised why you can see the light of nature belongs to others, meaning nature has chosen you huh?” ask Zack again.
The light of nature is the light in one's heart that can be an indicator to determine what clan they are. The ones who could see it were only the original descendants of Larom Xiying who were directly chosen by nature.
The Water Clan had blue-colored natural light, the Earth Clan was green, the Mint-colored Angi Clan, the Fire Clan was ember-red, but the Human Clan had no natural light because they had no special powers.
“My mother was the late Queen Ying Diana, before marrying my father, she was Princess Xi Diana. Even though she was the fifteenth princess of the Wind Clan kingdom who was wasted on having a flaw on her feet, it remained that she was a direct descendant of Larom Xiying's third son, Xi. That's why I can see the light of nature,” Rei replied.
Zack was silent for a moment listening to Rei's words.
“If Sea was Miss Clara, what would you do next?” ask Zack seriously.
Rei was silent for a moment.
“Jun,” said Rei vaguely.
“Jun? Ah, I heard Prince Jun started school here yesterday, did you meet him?” ask Zack.
“Jun must have noticed it too,” said Rei.
Rei recalled the time Jun burned the glass he threw towards Sea, as if afraid Sea would be okay if hit by the flying glass.
“Jun realized that Sea is Miss Clara? How can?” ask Zack curiously.
“Because Jun can also see the natural light,”

First Break
Sea pluck out the black umbrella from the umbrella daycare available in front of the class.
“Why unplug the umbrella? New umbrella?” ask Claire.
“Ah, no. My umbrella fell and blew in the wind, then there was someone who lent this, wanted me to give it back,” Sea replied.
“Oohh, do you know where his class is?” ask Claire again.
“Emm, no, maybe in this umbrella there is a name?” reply Sea then look around for maybe there is the owner's writing on the black umbrella.
“Zack?” said Sea for reading the small inscription at the end of the umbrella handle.
“Why can you meet Zack?” asked someone with a heavy tone all of a sudden, leaving Sea and Claire aghast.
The one who asked that was Jun.
“Just because Jun saved you, it proves that my hypothesis is not entirely wrong..”.
“Why?” asked Sea because he remembered Rei's words.
“Did you meet Rei?” reply Jun who did not answer Sea's question, and instead return to ask a question.
“Why are you asking that? Why did you save me yesterday? Why are you being creepy at the stop?” reply Sea who also even threw a question again.
“Hey, why are you guys throwing questions at each other anyway?” sahut Claire mediates Jun and Sea who look tense.
“Sorry, Jun, we'll excuse you!” claire then pulls Sea's hand to get out of Jun.
Claire and Sea arrived at a quiet bench and sat there.
“Why do you sensi so anyway? Was it because of that stop?” ask Claire.
Sea was silent for a moment, his look was holding back emotions. Before long Sea suddenly clasped Claire's two hands tightly.
“Claire! You love to read history and news! Please tell me about whatever you know about the Fire Clan Kingdom!” pinta Sea solemnly.
“Hah? Why are you suddenly so scared?” calire asked in amazement at Sea's seriousness in terms of history.
“Quick dong keburu in! Whatever it is! Incident, controversy, or whatever it is!” insist Sea.
“Hmm yes yes well, but as far as I am yes,” reply Claire.
Sea nodded, preparing to listen to Claire's story.
“After the splitting of the earth into five parts of power.namely the Fire Clan, the Earth Clan, the wind Clan, the Fire Clan, and the Human Clan, everything went peacefully and sensibly. Each clan still has good relations by doing some cooperation.”
“But everything changed when King La Hans, the descendant of La from the Water Clan. Killing the entire royal family of the Earth Clan for no definite reason, whereas the royal family of the Earth Clan was a direct descendant of Rom, La.”'s younger brother
“This makes the people of the Earth Clan angry and fight against La Hans, but La Hans slaughtered them all until the Earth Clan had nothing left. The Wind Clan, Fire Clan, and Human Clan were wrathful over the vile actions of King La Hans that made the Earth Clan extinct. As it was considered to make the world even more unstable, led by the Fire Clan King back then, the three clans teamed up to take down King La Hans from the Water Clan throne. But like an infinite amount of energy, King La Hans made a huge wave, destroying nearly half the surface of the earth with a massive tsunami. Himself disappeared swallowed by his own waves.”
“Klan Air apologizes for the behavior of King La Hans, but they have been stigmatized negatively by surface residents. Finally the Water Clan was exiled for inflicting great trauma on the other three clans.”
“The Water Clan citizens who are still on the surface finally return to the ocean, which still survives on the surface will only be a material scorn. One day, controversial news came. King Ying Danias of the Fire Clan married a princess of the Water Clan, Princess La Dena, somehow they met.”
Ying Danias is otherwise mistaken for the father of King Korya and the late King Dyera, his grandfather Jun!– Inner Sea.
“The marriage did get a lot of criticism from the surface people, because it could have been Princess La Dena was a tool sent by the Water Clan to avenge the isolation of the Water Clan in antiquity."
"But King Ying Danias remains firmly married to Princess La Dena. Despite many criticisms, the marriage also became a symbol of peace. Water Clan allowed to surface again, coexist with surface folk.”
“From that wedding, they had three children. The first was Prince Ying Dyera, married to the fifteenth princess of the Wind Clan kingdom, Princess Xi Diana.”
“Their marriage also caused controversy because Xi Diana was a disabled princess, fearing that their child would follow a disability. This can be dangerous, as Ying Dyera is the eldest son who will become the king of the Kingdom of the Fire Clan in his father's stead, where his son will later become his successor.”
“King Ying Dyera, my father,”
Sea remembered Rei's words this morning.
“Is the child of Ying Dyera and Xi Diana is,” asked Sea who was stopped due to hesitation.
“Their son is someone mentioned by Jun earlier, Prince Ying Rei.”
