"Conan, wake up"
This morning is the worst morning for me. God...
"Come on, it's still so early Gerald", I muttered still closing my eyes.
"Hey you, wake up !!"
Okay, now Gerald has the guts to pull my blanket.
"I'm so sleepy Gerald," I chirped half unmoved.
"Who is still sleepy?", The deep voice spontaneously made me get up from my sleep.
Christoffer was silent right in front of my bedroom door, his beaded turquoise eyes now staring right into ours in turn.
"Why are you still here? Don't you have to practice?"
"Yes uncle, we will go to the field after this", replied Gerald.
I was just silent, even gulping my own saliva it was so hard. Christoffer's prudence has sometimes earned him the admiration of everyone, including me.
now the young prince only nodded slowly before walking with dignity down the palace hallway.
"he's gone?", I asked to make sure.
Gerald nodded slowly.
Huuuhhh, as if now the burden on my head had fallen somewhere, so relieved.
"alright, now that you're up, let's go"
Oh God help me, I complained when Gerald pulled my hand out of my room to the field where we will practice, or just Gerald practicing.
"OK teacher, what should I do?"
What? Teacher? Even being a student, I still sometimes disobeyed, let alone a teacher. Why is my life so unlucky God? I couldn't beat the lion, let alone the lion, I couldn't even catch the chicken.
"Conan", he called.
"Yes", damn, why should I be nervous at times like this.
Arrrgggghhh, Eric Godfey why are you so useless ?? It felt like I wanted to scream as best as my voice came out.
"Where do we start?" Asked Gerald once again.
"Ummm ..."
Okay, let's start thinking while looking around, maybe we'll find something nice to teach.
'Cleon', a deep voice suddenly appeared.
I looked around, no one except me and Gerald was here, or maybe just the soldiers watching us from afar.
"what are you looking for Conan?"
"Ah that ... don't you hear the deep voice of a man?", I confirmed.
But the answer I received was just a blank. Gerald shook his head quickly while looking at me in surprise. I can understand what he is currently thinking, even from his clear eyes as if to say "Conan, you are a freak"
Arrrgghhh, all of this frustrates me at once.
'You understand the plot Eric'
Aaaarrgghh, that voice again made my head spin.
'Egor, Harmony, Icarus, Archilles, Alastair, Cleon, and Aristotle', continued the mysterious voice.
Wait, I realized something! When I read Grandpa's manuscript at that time, I started to remember what Eros said on his journey with the white eagle before meeting a protective dragon. At that time Eros said that every country has a certain element, and Eros began to realize that he was The Warrior Wizard when he was fusing his thoughts with that element. Okay, we can try it that way. But why must Cleon first? isn't the most basic element in Egor?
'because your body was born and grew in Cleon's world', that voice answered my inner question.
Where did this voice in my mind actually come from? Could it be Eros's voice?
'not'
Aaaarrrggghhh, why does this voice have to reply to my inner question anyway.
'because I am Master Fyi who is Eros' right hand man.'
Whaaattt! okay, I did read grandfather's manuscripts and know Master Fyi who is both Eros' protector and friend.
"Conan", called Gerald to remind me.
"Ah"
Shit, I was nervous again in front of Gerald.
"Do you have a problem?"
I shook my head.
"Shall we start now?", Gerald confirmed.
OK, I nodded confidently in myself.
"We start from our country, Cleon", I said briefly.
Gerald seemed to comply with everything I said, as if I was right on this point. Huh, but if I were in my world, I would be a very clumsy person.
"Water", continued Gerald.
"You must have controlled it before, right?", I asked sure.
"I have, but not more than 3 liters"
"What ???", okay I'm starting to get surprised.
Well, this successor to Eros can only control no more than 3 liters when Eros is able to control sea waves in his first try.
"Is there something wrong Conan?"
I quickly shook my head.
"Huh, even though water is my own element, controlling it is a very difficult thing", he complained.
Is it that hard? I thought starting frantically.
"how about you show me how"
What? show him how to control water? how ridiculuous.
'Close your eyes Eric, focus, and you will find something there'
The voice guides me.
I closed my eyes and started to focus, more and more focused, so that I couldn't even hear the sound of the palace soldiers around me. I don't know what happened, it was so focused that I found a piece of light in front of me with my eyes closed and the light led to a memory where there was a flash of sea waves and roaring monsters inside, the sky was surrounded by swirling black clouds as if it was about to show a storm raging, but the strange thing was that Am I able to stand on this raging sea?
'it's just your illusion, Eric'
The voice returned to answer my question. Until from the wrestling waves a black dragon appeared, which oddly enough he immediately bowed respectfully to someone who was now standing far in front of me.
'What brought you here my lord?', the dragon ... spoke?
'Cleon is water, then you are the symbol of Cleon, show me how to control that element', the deep voice of the man in the soldier's suit.
'You are the strongest sir, even you are able to control elements greater than myself which are symbols for Cleon'
There was a blue tinge burning from the eyes of the dragon who was now staring at the man in front of him. Okay, now I'm starting to feel a chill as the man turned around and looked at me with a blazing blue tinge from his eyes, the tinge so bright I couldn't even recognize his face covered in blue light.
Oh my God, what happened? Out of nowhere now a large wave was forming behind the man. Okay, this time I was completely speechless when I saw the smile from that man, and strangely it was a smile as if greeting me was not a grin that would hit me with the waves behind him. Wait, is that wave willing ...
Huh, I opened my eyes spontaneously. Did that wave actually hit me? Oh God, why is the world so strange and full of surprises?
Eeeh, what happened? I'm starting to not understand the situation, why are there so many soldiers swarming around me and Gerald now? even Gerald was now silent before me.
"Is there something wrong with me Gerald?" I asked, confused.
Gerald shook his head lightly while pointing behind me which ... Geez ... how could there be a wave as big as half the pool water behind me? Wait, am I in control? Huh, this is so ridiculous and absurd.
'You do control it Eric'
Again, Master Fyi's voice answered me.
"What is this ??", shouted the familiar voice from behind the crowd of soldiers who immediately formed a path so that the source of the voice could enter the crowd that surrounded me and Gerald in this field.
"Oh my god ...", surprised Christoffer who suddenly stopped in place.
To be honest, I was just as shocked as all of them, even though I just closed my eyes and .... someone with bright blue eyes pounced on me with a wave of the ocean that was many times bigger than the one behind me.
Now I'm starting to think, how can I return this wave to the pool next to the palace?
'Those waves can only be controlled by your mind Eric, control them!'
Okay, let's give it a try. I thought that the wave was now surrounding me, and ... Oh my, this wave actually surrounded me as if it had formed a huge whirlpool.
Hard to believe.
"I don't think I picked Gerald wrong for a teacher," Christoffer muttered proudly to himself.
