The Black Ice Dragon Legend
chapter 3 the city of birth
After the drastic battle, the sirens again invited the humans to make peace now led by Isla.
The humans who were previously confused by the fight that occurred, gradually gathered with ayu and Andros in front.
Although they did not know what happened and who won, they could sigh in relief.
Andros seemed hesitant in making a decision, so he handed it to ayu.
Andros, in fact, wanted to make peace, even more so his wife as a siren.
Although he was surprised and did not expect his wife, Isla was a siren, he still loved her, especially now his wife looks more beautiful.
In addition, he also understood that if it was not the sirens who did it because, if the sirens did it, he would have been killed by his own wife, he said, he also guessed who was the guilty party for all the things that had happened caused by the big figure he saw.
After what happened, he agreed with simo's decision. At first he disagreed, but now he agreed.
“no uncle, as a leader, I must not take unilateral decisions. I have to ask it to the people in the village.”
Everyone nodded. What ayu said has a point. To avoid unfairness in making decisions, voting is the right method for that.
“we can indemnify everything we have done, even though we did because ordered and threatened, only if it is not something we can do.” Said Isla.
Ayu nodded softly and turned around, she then ordered to go home to pick up the sound. When he ordered it there was something he did not show.it seemed to be something he wanted to hide tightly.
Since the ship had split, the humans had to repair it before it could leave and since it had started at night, they decided to rest and do it in the morning.
But, ayu as a leader knows it is not good. In addition to cold temperatures, it may cause a fever by immediately ordering to fix it now.
But they rejected it because of fatigue and it was not good to work at night.
Karla, who saw the situation was not good, suggested the sirens would repair their ship and promised to finish within 2 hours.
The humans just take it for granted. That way, the sirens flew in all directions to cut the wood.
With their flying ability and deadly planes, it was no wonder they could do well, but they could not repair the ship, either, so it is done by humans who were previously exhausted now become more powerful.
During repairs, Andros approached Isla who was standing with Karla watching the people repairing the ship.
They talk about Isla who can live without wings, daring to fight their cruel ancestors.
When Karla saw Andros approaching and found out there was something important she wanted to talk about, she politely left.
“my wife, are you going to leave me?” ask Andros carefully. When asking him he was very afraid if his wife died alone, plus now he only had his wife.
Slowly Isla replied, “ if I go... Aren't you going to mind?”
“Ah, of course not, surely you will be happy after a long time apart from your group right?” andros answered cheerfully, but not for his heart and his feelings. Even though he said cheerfully, anyone could tell if he was sad.
“aku won't go.”
“ah, if so I am very.... What did you say?”
“I will not leave you, despite being separated from my group and hometown, I will not leave, and also I am already your wife. As a wife, it's not good to leave her husband, is it?”
“i-iya, but don't you mind?” Andros asked hesitantly and did not expect his wife to choose not to leave him.
“no, for me this has become the destiny of my life that I have to run.”
“if so, I'm glad to hear it.”
“sorry, I can't help our son.” Isla said with a sad face, then continued, “ if only I had known it from the beginning maybe none of this would have happened and maybe you could have left without having to repair the ship."
Seeing the sadness on Isla's face, Andros could not bear to embrace her. Although Isla's face looked not so sad, Andros knew that in his heart, his wife was now sad.
Slowly Isla resuscitated her head in Andros' chest. He can feel comfort after doing so.
“mau make moreover, everything has happened. Even if our son has left us, we can not be sad, maybe he will be angry if he sees us.” Andros then looked up at the night sky, then said, “see it's possible that he is now sad, looking at you like this.”
“you're right, hopefully he's not disappointed with his mother's attitude.”
“he will not be disappointed, it will be proud to have a mother like you who is strong brave and certainly fierce.”
“you blade me fierce!?” at once Isla moved away from Andros and at once her sad face was replaced with a sullen face of anger.
“no, you are very beautiful.” Andros replied, sweating coldly. He was flippant saying it. He reminded Isla who was once gentle and easily seduced.
“do not talk for 2 days.” Isla grunts in annoyance, then raises Andros alone.
“eh, my wife.” Andros.
Some people smiled at the pair's behavior, and kept them entertained while repairing the ship.
...****...
Simo was still unconscious after what he had experienced. Even so, the condition was stable, and just waiting for him to awaken.
The night was so cold and not good for health, but it was as if it did not apply to Namila, as if she felt a warmth she had never felt in her entire life. Especially if it's with someone who likes it.
“if you realize today, how beautiful the sky if enjoyed together.” Namila muttered lifting his face.
Not long after, ayu came to take namila to a place to talk about important things.
But Namila rejects him for having to keep the unconscious simo.
“not long, just a few minutes, the place is not far.” Sayu tried to take namila.
“no, even if it's far or near, I can't.” Answer namila. He did not ask how ayu could be here, where he came from and what happened before, because he already knew it from the beginning.
With a sigh, ayu sat beside namila.
“If he betrays will you stay by his side?” ask ayu. Although it is not polite, at least Namila can be on guard not to love someone too much.
Namila was a little surprised to hear the question, she slowly replied, “ as if she had betrayed, then I will not forgive her. You know it was all created in pairs.”
“Yes, I know, if simo is the sun that should shine light on plants other than yourself, would you accept it?”
“He won't do that.” Answer the angry namila, then say, “if you just want to say that, go, I do not accept such a word here.”
Hearing that, ayu laughed then said, “sorry, I was just kidding. I believe he won't do that.”
Namila did not answer.
Ayu sighed, then said weakly, “will the hatred disappear at any time?”
Namila was silent for a moment then replied hesitantly, “m-maybe.”
“have you ever felt it?”
Namila shook her head.
“if I didn't have hatred everything would be fine.”
Namila knew what ayu was talking about, Although she did not openly say it, she knew very well what was on her mind. His hatred towards the siren had already mingled with his blood, he wanted to fight against it, But it was too difficult for him.
“Do not say like that, everyone has such an attitude, and it is natural. You just try to be friends with them and feel their good side before hate takes control of you completely.”
Ayu was silent for a moment then nodded.
When ayu wanted to say, there was a screaming sound from the ship that made him wonder.
...****...
At the same time he had entered the city, his birthplace. There is a sense of pleasure, sadness and joy when remembering memories of old times.
Even though he came out only once, he still clearly remembered how it felt when he was a kid.
As he walked, some people looked at him.
There are also people whispering about it.
In addition, there are people who are busy with their work, even if it is at night.
A few minutes into stepping, he saw some people gathered with scared faces.
In front of them a middle-aged lung woman stood with some of her soldiers. She is irina.
“all of you it's time to pay tax.” Irina.
“sorry princess, we don't have any money.”
“i don't care. You all line up and hand over your money.”
Weakly and bowed, people lined up. Even though they have no money. If he did not comply, his sentence would come to them, either in prison or in a whip.
They are the lower class people who have low income. Being unable to pay taxes 1 year ago, now doubled.
They believe they can pay for it, but reality doesn't live up to expectations.
“quickly hand over your money!” the soldier in front of the line.
