Ice Princesses
Mirto Island

Finished dressed in casual clothes, Letticia walked down the hallway of the palace. It was customary for him to explore this palace. In fact he found some secret rooms that only a few people knew. He always said that knowing where to live was important.

Maybe you're asking why Letticia's in the palace? Well, he often runs away from school and flies to the palace when class is over. The teachers had even made protectors so that Letticia could not escape, but what power, that protector was not a problem for a student this strong who might be able to eliminate the entire school in an instant. No one dared to really punish him. There are some teachers who punish Letticia, even if it is only a small punishment.

Today, Letticia intends to search for the Mystery Map. The 5th king and queen Morton created a map showing the way to an island called Mirto Island. But no one has managed to find it for centuries, so people are starting to think it's just a fairy tale.

But Letticia remains determined to find the map. He believes the map exists. Letticia's instincts can tell everything, and she's confident in that intsting. His instincts were only once wrong, when Letticia felt that Josh was going to shoot Amara. The guy actually likes Letticia. Letticia refused. He has long been disgusted at Josh who likes to tease women.

Click!

Door opens. Letticia smiled satisfiedly and put the key back into her pocket. He entered the room he had just opened and locked it from the inside.

This room is empty. There's nothing at all. But Letticia kept exploring it. He's sure there's something. Where possible a room is made and locked without use and contents.

"Meet!" cheered in a small voice. Letticia pushed the wall in front of her rather strongly. It turns out that this is not just a wall. As soon as Letticia pushed it, a piece of the wall was pushed inward and it seemed like inside there was some sort of system. After a while, a little part of the wall was like going down into the ground and opening another pitch-black room.

Letticia crouched down and entered the hole. Inside was very dark and there was no light except from the hole where he had entered just now. Letticia uses light magic. Now the room is bright.

As it turned out, the room was where the various treasures of Morton kingdom were hidden. But it seems like this is not yet the most precious treasure. Perhaps a more valuable price was in the other room.

Letticia walked over to the treasures and saw and observed them one by one. Most of them are gold and other relics. Not very interesting. Even the map Letticia was looking for was nowhere to be found.

"It looks like I'll look for him another day while driving around again. As always, items will meet when not searched. Maybe I'll be lucky in the next quest" Letticia murmured.

Letticia came out of the room through the same hole. He closed the hole and opened the door and walked out of the room, not forgetting to lock it back.

...****************...

"Where are you taking me?" ask Amara annoyed. Upon returning to her room and when Amara was just about to rest on her beloved bed, Letticia immediately pulled Amara out of nowhere.

"Follow me. You won't be punished" Letticia tried to convince her fussy best friend. Amara just grunted annoyedly.

Outside, Letticia immediately flew the two of them. Amara shouted loudly, making everyone's attention on them. The teachers also witnessed it, but remained silent. They can punish Amara later. It is not too heavy though the possibility, the punishment is a little heavier than Letticia.

"LETTI! WHERE DID YOU TAKE ME?!" scream Amara. Letticia who started to feel annoyed with Amara who shouted earlier, immediately sealed her mouth so she could not speak. Amara can only resign and obey wherever Letticia takes her.

Letticia took Amara to the balcony of her room in the palace. The guards did not react and let it be so noticed that the one who entered was Letticia. Letticia has been here almost every day.

The first time Letticia came here, the whole palace was excited and thought there was an intruder. Letticia was attacked. But of course he was fine and made everyone unable to move then explained that it was him. Since then, Letticia has often visited the palace.

Arriving inside the room, Letticia unsealed Amara's mouth. Amara started nagging Letticia endlessly like mothers. Letticia just listened and took Amara to the room she found yesterday.

"Where did you put the necklace that your grandfather gave you?" ask Letticia suddenly.

"In the drawer of the room" replied Amara.

Letticia nodded, then immediately opened the portal. He told Amara to take the necklace. Amara only complies. He entered and returned with a necklace that was similar in shape to the necklace Letticia had obtained. The difference is, this one is white.

"good. We can find the island now" Letticia said.

"What island?" ask Amara.

Letticia did not answer. He immediately sat cross-legged with both necklaces in his hands. Then Letticia did some sort of ritual that Amara could not understand, so Amara just sat there watching. He took a place a little far away and put up a little protective, just in case something happened.

Before long, all of a sudden the two necklaces were emitting black and white light. The aura of the two seemed to be opposite. The two lights came together and a portal appeared.

Amara had not yet asked, Letticia had already entered the portal. Amara did not dare to enter. He decided to wait for Letticia to return.

Moments later, Letticia returned with a happy face and a map in her hands. Finally he found what people had been looking for for centuries. Who is not happy?

"What's that paper?" ask Amara curiously.

"It's a map" replied Letticia.

Letticia opens the portal. This time to his special dimension. The contents of this map were very secret, and it was likely that no one knew of it other than the mapmaker itself. So Letticia had to absolutely make sure no one peeked when the map was opened.

They both sat under the tree. Lettica immediately opened the map and showed it to Amara. Amara was very surprised to see the name of the map and the place with the cross on the map.

"Wow this is a Mystery Map!" amara exclaimed enthusiastically, "I hear everyone has been trying to find her for centuries, but nothing has worked."

"Yes. And this map shows the way to Mirto Island," Letticia pointed to the place with a cross.

"Don't tell me you're gonna take me to find the island" Amara raised an eyebrow next to her. He had known Letticia for a long time and knew what kind of person Letticia was.

"Hehe," Letticia could only scratch her head. Guessing intent. But it's not a problem. Sooner or later, Amara will find out.

Unexpectedly, Amara clasped Letticia's hand, "I'm coming!"

Letticia. His best friend is not adventurous and very timid. Letticia could not be sure what danger could be on the trip later.

"You sure?" tanya Letticia confirmed.

"Yes" replied Amara without hesitation.

Letticia held onto both of Amara's shoulders, "You're not possessed or anything like that, are you?"

"Hey I'm fine. I did want to come along, "Amara took off Letticia's grip on her shoulder.

"OKAY. I will decide the time later," Letticia said.

...****************...

This afternoon, Letticia and Amara are going to go find Mirto Island. Letticia said this afternoon was a pretty good time because there were no classes and they also had no other activities.

Letticia's been poring over the map all night. Now he understands the contents of the map a little, although there are some parts that he does not understand. Because this map is indeed quite complicated and mysterious. There are even some writings that are likely secret codes or perhaps clues written in other languages. So this morning Letticia was forced to go to the palace library and research various languages and codes. Eventually he managed to crack some code, although it was very difficult.

"Akhh how can a map be made like this" Letticia grumbled. The map was obviously made by someone who was very clever and liked puzzles.

"Slowly. There is no need to rush," said Amara while biting her cookies.

A few minutes later.

"Looks enough. The rest of the clues we're looking for on the way," Letticia immediately rolled up the map.

Letticia put the map into storage. Then he came out of his dimension to pick up some materials. Snowflowers were over 200 years old, black weeds, and other materials he had prepared beforehand. After taking all that, Letticia returned to the dimension where Amara waited while eating the cookies she had given her. Maria cooked too much, so she gave some to room 17.

All the items were placed on the grass, except for snowflowers and black weeds. Letticia put the two most important ingredients into a special gold pot of ice she made for 7 days and 7 nights, but it had never been used.

"Don't bother, or this will fail" Letticia warned Amara. Amara simply nodded while swallowing the last cookie.

Letticia closed her eyes. He transferred quite a lot of spiritual energy to the objects before him. The spiritual energy in this dimension was extremely powerful which was one of the reasons Letticia performed her ritual here.

Before long, a golden light mixed with the white light from the snowflowers and the black light from the black reeds appeared and flew into the air. They mix and form things. And that something is a portal.

Letticia opened her eyes. He ran over and pulled Amara without saying anything, then immediately put the two of them into the portal.

"The mortal didn't last too long" Letticia said as Amara looked at him with a facial expression for an explanation.

"Oh," replied Amara shortly.

They started walking around. The ground was very barren and there were fires and explosions everywhere.

"Hey, calm down. It's just an illusion" Letticia said. From earlier Amara held her hand and would hug Letticia more tightly when there were explosions everywhere. It seemed that now Letticia felt a little regretful bringing along the timid Amara.

After walking for a while, Amara stopped. His eyes let out clear tears that fell to the ground. Amara saw something she probably wouldn't be able to see in a lifetime.

"Aunt May! Aunt Ann!" exciting Amara. He clearly saw the two aunts who had died from it, sitting leisurely while drinking tea in a garden. I don't know why there's such a beautiful park in the middle of this place.

"Here, Amara," call aunt Mei smiling kindly. Just like when he called little Amara.

Amara was about to run towards the two of them. Letticia held him back. Amara rebelled, but Letticia held her hand firmly.

"It's illusion! Don't be fooled!" Letticia warns Amara.

"That's aunt! Are you blind?!" reply Amara. He could barely control himself when he saw his two aunts were right before him. Amara wanted to meet them and say a lot of things. Apologizing for what they've been through. Meet like before!

Letticia hit the back of Amara's neck. Amara immediately fell drooping, Letticia caught him. Then he took Amara away from the place.

After a while, a voice called out to Letticia. Letticia turned to the source of the voice. He couldn't believe what he saw.

"Dad? Mommy?" Letticia was almost speechless.

Now in the presence of Letticia, the king and queen Morton greeted him and invited him to gather with them. The first two people Letticia saw and met in person after the war. During the war, he did not even have time to say goodbye to them.

"Come here, dear Letticia. We get together and be a happy family like we used to be" the queen said with a warm smile.

"Dad misses you so much, my daughter" said the king.

Letticia. He wanted to meet his parents. But....

Blars!

"You're not my parents" Letticia said coldly, "They weren't there. Their souls were elsewhere and their bodies were lying on the ground. But they'll be in my heart forever."

Saying so, Letticia left the place where her parents had been, which she had now blown into ashes. It seems like this mental exam is indeed quite difficult.

Before long, a portal appeared. Letticia with Amara in her carriage immediately entered the portal without much thought. It seems like this portal is indeed a true portal, because on the map itself it is written how to get out of the dimension of the mental exam after passing the exam.

The dimension this time is an ordinary city where people pass by. Letticia wakes Amara. Amara who started to wake up immediately stood up slowly.

Suddenly, the memories of the two of them simply disappeared. Now all they know is that they're just walking around here. They completely forgot about the test and others. To be more precise, their memories disappeared.

A beggar approached Letticia and Amara. The beggar was limping and did not eat for days.

"Son, be kind to give this old man some money" the beggar asked in a hearty tone.

Letticia reached into his pocket. He gave the grandfather 50 Mir. The grandfather looked very happy when he received the money from Letticia.

Mir: The currency of Morton.

"You're very kind. Go and continue your journey," the grandfather said with a smile. The grandfather reached into his pocket and took out a bag, "This is a gift for you."

After receiving the pouch and thanking her, Letticia and Amara's memories returned. Their bodies flew by themselves towards a portal.

In this dimension, they were on a beach. An island is seen in the distance. It was Mirto Island.

Just as Letticia was about to take Amara away to the island, suddenly the ground shook violently. Something came out of the sky. A huge black dragon with green eyes that stared intently. His teeth were sharp and horrible. Its claws were extremely sharp and it could probably split a rock in one fell.

"It looks like it's the last test" Letticia said, "You went to safety. I'm gonna face this monster."

Amara could only nod and run away. He was worried about Letticia, but if he stayed there it would only be a burden.

Letticia looked at the monster. There seems to be a legend about this. This dragon was the Black Dragon that served as the final test towards Mirto Island. Strength tests.

The Black Dragon attacked Letticia with its claws. It was fortunate that Letticia's reflexes were faster than the dragon's claws. The Black Dragon Claw contained an extremely powerful poison. Although the effect will shrink on Letticia, but still dangerous.

"You were playing attack suddenly apparently," Letticia said irritatedly.

Letticia immediately pulled out a sword that managed to slash a bit of the Black Dragon's thick skin, which made the Black Dragon angry and roared loudly while trying to attack Letticia. Letticia simply dodged and tried to find a gap to counterattack.

"Great too. But you are still human and all humans are weak" said the arrogant Black Dragon.

"Hmph look at it later," Letticia replied annoyedly.

Outraged and starting to get angry, Letticia had involuntarily darkened her eyes. He let out an extremely powerful stance without mercy.

Booms!

Even Amara who was hiding in a place some distance away was shocked. The explosion was very large and shook the land they were on, to a very far place though. The trees around the battle arena were broken and flattened to the ground.

Letticia walked towards the Black Dragon who was now drooping and coughed. He's not dead yet. But Letticia felt no need to kill him now.

"Not all humans are weak. Maybe a lot of weak and stupid, but I'm not."

Saying so, Letticia left the Black Dragon. He's picking up Amara.

"Is it not excessive?" ask Amara.

"No. We have to get through the exam to the best of our ability, right?" reply Letticia.

They both flew to Mirto Island. It takes 10 minutes to get there at full speed. The island is located quite far from the beach. Amara can't see it from this distance, but Letticia can.

Arriving at the island, it felt an extremely powerful spiritual and magical aura. It seems like this island is suitable as a place to practice and improve abilities.

Letticia and Amara explore the island. They roam on foot, all the way. Maybe you can find something interesting or something.

"The "spiritual and magical energy here is powerful. It's a pity to be missed, "inner Letticia. Letticia immediately looked for a suitable place. After finding it, he began to focus.

Meanwhile, Amara who saw Lettica being very focused did not intend to disturb him. He preferred to explore this island alone, forgetting how big the risk was with his current strength.

Along the way, many interesting objects that Amara met. Starting from transparent shell snails, blue grasslands, rainbow flowers, and others. Amara picked up some items she thought were rare and valuable. Of course he took enough to not seem greedy. Amara has read a story that shows greedy people always get bad advice. Therefore Amara was always afraid and did not want to do it. Well, even though it seems childish, at least this has a good impact on his life.

After walking for several kilometers, Amara arrived at a lake. The water of this lake is very clear and unspoiled by humans.

"It's good to take a shower" muttered Amara. He felt sultry and the weather today was very hot.

Amara left her outer clothes on the edge of the lake after looking right left, making sure there were no people. Then he slowly entered the lake.

"Funny... Has this lake been magic?" thought Amara. He felt that the lake water was very comfortable. It is different from other lakes.

Krasak!

"Who is that?!" Amara reflexed out of the lake and took her clothes.

Suddenly, someone came out from behind the bushes. Fortunately, that person did not look like a bad person. Fortunately, she is a girl.

"Who are you?" ask Amara who started to calm down.

"I'm Arin, the only inhabitant of this island. I just want to take a shower as usual" replied Arin.

They shower while talking. Arin has lived on this island for a long time. He was raised by his deceased aunt. Arin doesn't know why he's on this island. He always tried to cross the ocean and live in a place with others.

"My friend can take you in a moment" said Amara.

"really?" ask Arin expectantly.

"Yes. He can also take you to another dimension" Amara replied.

Arin smiled happily. Finally there was a glimmer of hope to get out of this place. Actually Arin has no problem staying here. He lives well. But his little heart wanted to go and live with people. Moreover, Arin is lonely.

After bathing and getting dressed, Amara takes Arin to Letticia's place. It just so happened that Letticia was done and was sitting casually on a rock while eating an apple she picked up from a tree.

"Who is this?" letticia asked in shock to see that there was someone else on Mirto Island.

"I'm Arin. I'm a resident of this island" replied Arin.

"He's been living here since birth. Can you take her to a place where she can live with people?" pinta Amara on Letticia.

"certain. You can go with us. Can you wait a few more days?"

"Yes, I'll wait" replied Arin.

...****************...

Arin guides Letticia and Amara around Mirto Island. The island is quite large and there are many unique things. Starting from green pigs, fragrant carcass flowers, and others. Even the lake where Arin and Amara took a bath yesterday can be set hot and cold as desired.

At the foot of the mountain, Letticia felt something. Like.. an energy?
