The Black Ice Dragon Legend
chapter 5 departure

In a place that was part of a lake, it was also a secret place rumored to be inhabited by powerful and terrifying monsters. In that place had a large tree with roots that were twisting like thousands of snakes with its dense foliage dome making the place difficult to pass through by the sunlight, he said, only a small part of the light came in.

It appeared that a middle-aged lung woman was sitting on one of the tree roots. The woman hummed melodiously and occasionally her virgin-looking hands touched the clear lake water. That woman is Dira. Although he had been there for a long time, his face, body as well as the clothes he was wearing were always clean and of course it had something to do with Watariana, she said, the water girl who always cleaned and cared for him until now.

Not long after, he smiled then said, “ Watariani, you don't have to surprise me like that anymore. If you want to surprise me, use a new trick that you have never used.”

Dira turned. In an instant the tree roots' eyes came together to form a woman with a beautiful and elegant body.

“ah, I got caught again.” Said Watariani, the root girl.

“makanya, you use a new and other way of everything just like that I would be surprised.” Said Dira with a small laugh.

“You laughed at me yes.”

“No, no. How could I laugh at you who is a beautiful girl full of beauty.”

“right, you laugh at me.”

Dira wanted to defend himself, but one of Watariani's roots hugged his waist and threw him into the lake.”

“Allowed, if you don't laugh at me, you can't get wet by that water.” Said Watariani while seeing Dira wet by lake water.

“Riani you're evil, I don't like you. I'd better be with Wara.” Dira then called out to Watriana several times until the end she appeared as well.

“Wara, look what your sister has done to me.” Said Dira to Watariana like a child complaining to his mother.

“e. It wasn't my fault.”

“Eh! Ohhh you want to throw your mistakes at me huh. Don't you remember if you wanted to surprise me and because you failed then instead you just threw me into the water. If only I were still empress then your life cannot be forgiven.”

“No, I'm not wrong you're wrong!” watariani.

“aku is also not wrong.”

“no you're wrong!”

“Not! You should be wrong!”

The debate took place within a few seconds which left Watariana confused as to who was right and who was wrong. So in order to stop that, Watariana took the middle ground by saying both sides were right.

“how can it be?” obviously your sister is wrong why is nothing wrong?” rebut Dira because he felt he was right which was then followed by objection Watariani who considered himself right.

“aduh you. You want answers, right? Then you heard my explanation well because I won't repeat it twice.”

Watariani and Dira also put both their ears well. Even the insects inhabiting the place were as quiet as they understood what Watariana had commanded.

“begini, Dira you are wrong for laughing at Watariani.”

Dira wanted to argue, but he had no chance.

“don't you dodge because I heard it clearly and you're my sister who isn't very pretty and has hair as hard as a tree root.”

“Hey! my hair is like that!” watariani Tungkas.

“iya, yes. You're guilty because you want to surprise Dira and I remind you never to repeat it again, because, it can make people have heart attacks. If I think you're the one who's doing more wrong for bothering Dira.

“well, anyone protests again?” ask Watariana who was answered by Dira and Watariani. After that Watariani disappeared while Dira wanted to find food, but was stopped by Watariana.

“Is there anything important you want to talk about?” Tanya Dira seriously like a middle-aged woman in general.

“ya, but we do elsewhere only.” Watariana's advice answered nods by Dira. They decided to talk across the tree because it was a very quiet and comfortable place, so it would certainly make the speaker calm and clear. Dira went there with a gentle hand of Watariana, though it was made of water. It does not remove the softness of the Watariana skin.

“well, now can you say what you mean?” tanya Dira who was already sitting on one of the tree trunks.

“Dira, have you known for a long time you stayed here?” ask Watariana who is still in the lake.

Hearing that, Dira was a little surprised because she did not know the day, the month and even the year had passed. All he knew was morning, afternoon and afternoon, and that too if it was sunny. Dira shook his head slowly.

“I guessed it. You're actually free of our agreement, even it's been a few years.”

Dira was surprised then stood up and showed an angry expression. He sharply looked at Watariana. “what a hell are you crazy about! Why did you just say it? Do you want me to be a servant for the rest of your life!?”

Hearing that, made Watariana speechless. He knew Dira was angry and his anger was caused by his negligence for not counting the days. Not because he was intentional, but he felt happy and happy when he was with Dira. While with her, she and her sister never felt lonely. Moreover, Watariani always makes new things with Dira, which makes him happy, because too happy he forgot to count days and years.

“Sorry..” only that word comes out of the water girl's mouth while showing a guilty face.

“all right, can I go now?”

Watariana nodded. “before you leave let Riani make you a boat and as an apology I will give you a potion.”

“For what?” dira's previously angry face turned curious.

“With that potion, you will have the power of water and roots that can wrap around the enemy and kill him in the blink of an eye. With that power as well, you will have no trouble protecting your son and yourself.”

“ alright, let's go.” Said Dira who looked calmer. when he was about to walk quickly Watariana stopped him.

“what's more?”

“A-Are you still angry?” watariana asked hesitantly. However, Watariana already considers Dira as one of his family. Calming it down is one of the things Watariana should do. Although he had greater strength, still he did not dare with Dira. Moreover, she had also never seen such an angry Dira as long as she was with him.

“Already. Now we're even. I want to get out of here as soon as possible.”

“fast between me.” Said the man who was on the edge of the lake.

Watariana immediately took Dira to the other side and called Watariani to make a boat. When he heard that, Watariani looked sad, it was clear that Watariani did not want Dira to leave.

With a heavy heart, he built a small boat. Before Dira boarded it, she bid farewell to Watariana and the character, they hugged each other and said goodbye.

After that Dira boarded the boat and rowed it. A few meters away, he waved his arms back and smiled at Watariani and Watariana. Even though the two of them were not sincere, they still looked happy.

“I hope we can meet him again.” Watariana said after seeing Dira who had disappeared from her sight.

“I'm also a big brother, I hope someday to meet him again.”
