THE COLD DAD
FACE IT AND DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM REALITY

It's already late at night.. Zion has fallen asleep in the shadows under Duke's bed. Where Ravella and Gapi sleep at the moment. Argus has returned to his room. While Ravella who was still asleep, now woke up when she heard the sound of rain falling on the glass window.

Both of his eyes opened slowly.. The sound of breathing slowly. Eyes that are still heavy, trying to find the sound of sound that has disrupted his sleep. He tilted his head left.. Find the source of the sound.

'Haah.. It sounds like rain! I guess what. I slowly woke up looking out the window. Drips of rain fell down profusely soaking through the glass windows, the occasional sound of lightning and thunder booming in the night sky. I saw my side, Gapi was sound asleep. While Dad still hasn't returned from the mission..!

Is Dad okay..? What kind of mission do you have to complete alone? To the extent that Father is not allowed to bring any of his soldiers! Eums.. It makes me feel uneasy. Wanting to investigate, but Grandpa Spirit was busy training and was not allowed to exit any Zone one step.

Hem.. I was so worried about Dad, because he just went alone without being with anyone! Haa.., why did her room suddenly change? What is this place?? Wait for.. Isn't that who can do this.. Just Grandpa Zando..!! Suddenly I was in the room, now in a very large foreign bed from my father's bed.

And my blanket now.. It has been turned into a very luxurious blanket of gold. Huh.. What is this place? I've never seen a place like this before. The mosquito net is also made of Gold Colored silk. However, in contrast to other gold colors.the walls are actually black.it adds a mysterious impression to the owner.

I opened my blanket, and tried to get off the big bed while looking down at the bed. Haa.. It's really high. Who's the crazy guy who made a bed this tall? With my age still twelve years, and only a little higher. It doesn't make my legs longer.

Forget about this.. I jumped out of that big bed. And walk towards the door. By the time I was about to touch the doorknob, suddenly the door opened itself. I haven't been able to touch it.

I looked out the door, and everything seemed dim. Gulp.. The dim atmosphere is really very supportive, this looks even more horrified. let alone having to pass through long and silent alleys. Suddenly I remembered a horror movie while I was in my world! Not that the ghosts really like to be in dark rooms and dim places..!?

Plaque. I patted my cheek and suggested to myself, so as not to sink into the stories of the past nonsense. Hem.. I have to be brave and see what place is this?' he thought to be brave.

Curious-filled Ravella, exploring passage after passage. He continued to walk despite looking horrified, but his feelings felt somewhat calm like never before.

Until from a distance the hallway, visible light penetrated through the hallway. Ravella followed the direction of the light, and entered through the bright light. Until he saw the appearance of a waterfall, green scenery and flowers blooming scattered throughout the place. The birds perched on the branches. Colorful butterflies fly between the expanding flowers.

'A very beautiful place.. Suddenly a pair of purple and blue butterflies came to me and flew around me. Then.. A pair of butterflies flew back, but, halfway through the road, they stopped and turned to look at me.

Wh why? Do they want me to follow him?? I thought and without hesitation.. I followed the two butterflies. They took me somewhere, until the sound of a waterfall was faintly heard from a distance. I stopped as a child, Is it possible that I'm far away from where I was? What if I get lost! I think I'm starting to worry.

But I saw that the two butterflies were still waiting for me. I continued to follow the two butterflies. Step by step treading barefoot. And just wearing sleeping clothes. Until they arrive somewhere, the two butterflies stop and look at me again.'

"You guys brought me here.. What do you want me to see?" 'I asked both butterflies..! The place they showed me, was a lush and dark forest, but unlike the place before, this place looked very gloomy. And without me knowing. those two butterflies, have disappeared! I became horrified myself in living in a dark place and looked so vulnerable.

And suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming from within the forest, walking slowly closer. Hearing the sound, I slowly stepped back and prepared to run away. But, just as I was about to turn around, he appeared. I stopped, didn't budge from where I stood, my legs were heavy.

He who had disappeared for three spring seasons, finally reappeared. After all this time we didn't meet, I don't know why? But.. I feel so missed and so happy to see her again. I myself really don't understand my feelings..! Every time I remember it I miss him.'

Ravella stopped as if her body was frozen for a moment, and did not budge from where she stood. As he looked at the figure of the Golden Dragon, which had now come out sticking out its head, from within the darkness of the forest. Emperor Zando walked slowly closer to the little figure he longed for so much.

"How are you doing, son?" her name.. Greet and draw near to Ravella, then sit down in front of the little girl. The little girl who was staring fixedly at him, started to mutter softly. "Ka-kek....!" said Ravella, and immediately hugged the Golden Dragon who was now sitting in front of her. Emperor Zando changed his form to the size of Zion.

After a few minutes passed, Ravella again released her embrace from the Golden Dragon.

"So Grandpa brought me here..?" senggakan.

"Then.. Didn't grandpa meet the others?" ask Ravella. "They also must not wait to see Grandpa soon." he continued.

"really! Hem.. Hem.. Let it. Because I miss my little girl so much, so I'll see you first. In two days, I'm coming to see the kids. But it's a surprise for them, so I didn't tell my stepfather.I wish you could keep this secret, my little goddess." she smiled.

"Cake, of course, I'll keep it a secret" he said.. While blinking one of her beautiful eyes. Emperor Zando smiled at her.

However, on the sidelines of his brilliance.. Suddenly Ravella's face returned moody. Emperor Zando, who knew the feelings of his Empress, was now in a state of anxiety. Back mumbling. "What has made you mope, son?" the real question already knows.. But he deliberately pretended to ask, as if he knew nothing.

"Dad, Cake. I was worried because Dad left alone without bringing anyone by his side, including his two Spirits.. He left it just to take care of me. Even though Dad didn't say anything! But, look at the letter from the Emperor.. I know, if it's an important mission." he said, expressing his concern.

Overheard him.. Emperor Zando smiled, and said back. "Hem.. Relax, son, your father is fine now. He will come back with a big surprise in the range." he said ambiguously.

"Big surprise... What does Grandpa mean??" tanyanya did not understand.

"Hem.. This may be good news as well as bad news for you! My advice is, You should immediately prepare yourself and mentally, son." he said.

"Good and bad news..!! What news is Cake? Does this have anything to do with your current health..!" ravella began to look worried.

"No.. You don't have to worry about that! Your father is okay, it's just about something you're most afraid of, and soon it'll happen" he said.

"What I'm most afraid of..!" he repeated, and re-digested Emperor Zando's words.

Seeing the confusion perched on the surface of the Empress's face.. Emperor Zando muttered again. Which makes Ravella even more confused!

"Eum.. Listen Nak! I can only give you a hint. Face it and don't run away from reality, if you love your father." he said ambiguously.

Hearing Emperor Zando's words, various questions popped into his mind, making him clueless with his Spirit's words..! "What does Grandpa really mean? Does Grandpa know something I don't know..!!" he turned to the Golden Dragon with anxious feelings.

"Hem.. All that is implied, is a mystery that you do not need to know, and you must find your own answer. Now, it's time for you to come back, son. Because your beloved cat is looking for and worrying about you.

Two more days.. I'll come back to see you, and the others." Emperor Zando kissed Ravella on the forehead, and in an instant the little princess fell back asleep and fell into the arms of Emperor Zando, who had now turned into a handsome, very mysterious man.

And now Ravella has been in the room on the Duke's bed, Zion who is frantically looking for the whereabouts of her little Princess outside the Mansion. He suddenly felt the presence of Ravella, and instantly teleported to the Duke's room. And there was a golden silver-haired figure, now lying soundly on the bed.

Zion the Lion, relieved to see her beloved Princess has returned, looks fine. He instantly changed his form into a young man, who wore a White shirt and pants. Zion walked over and dropped her knees beside the bed. He grabbed a tiny hand, and clasped the hand of the little princess who was much smaller than his.

"Haaahs.. Thank goodness, it turns out you're okay, Goddess boy. I was so worried, when you suddenly just disappeared. And if that happens to you! I swore I would punish myself, and.. Don't know what reason I'll tell the boy later?" he was afraid to imagine that. 'But thank goodness you're okay.. Without anyone getting hurt one bit, he thought in relief.

In the midst of his worries.. Suddenly from those two beautiful eyes that were sound asleep. Flowing clear tears.. Zion was shocked, and gently wiped her flowing tears soaking her cheeks. 'What is he dreaming about? until it made her tear..!' he thought he kept paying attention to his beloved Goddess, whom he had considered to be his own daughter.
