THE CLIMBER
DRAGON AND PHOENIX #2

AT 08.00 WNT.

By wearing Crampons or a series of metal spiked shoes attached to the bottom end of the shoe and Ice Axes or special axes used to help him climb ice cliffs, Arya and Elya begin their climb. Jack and Nandita watched them even though it was cold they both felt nothing of it.

Slowly and calculatingly they continued to climb and climb the ice cliff. Time kept turning until the time was up to the grace of the day when strong winds hit Arya and Elya.

SREEET BRUUUK'S

Arya and Elya slipped and crashed down a few meters, but they continued to climb again and crashed again. They did that many times and until that second they still failed to climb even higher.

Under such strong wind pressure, Arya kept thinking with the natural phenomena that confronted her.

"Why is this wind suddenly so strong and threw my body when the peak is getting closer and it is very clear to see." murmured Arya in the heart.

Arya tries to focus her mind, trying to solve the secret behind the incident.

"The peak is not the only goal in climbing, the summit is just a bonus in every climb, and I climb not just to reach the top, but to suppress my selfishness. Yeah..!? I understand now." Inner Arya.

"Elya forget about the peaks of the snow, and focus that this climb is just a process of forging myself, I will climb first and you focus in the thought of pressing the ego in your heart, after you can focus on following me." arya shouted in the wind.

"Yes my sister, I understand." cried Elya replied to Arya's words.

"I can, I'm not competing with anything, so why should I step back like a coward, this climb is just a process of finding the identity, why should the peak be reached, why should I, yes, the greatest victory is only mastery in suppressing every ego in me, right said arya peak is just a bonus." muttered Elya while looking at his brother who was far above.

While far below the cliff Jack and Nandhita continue to pay attention to the climb through the Drone monitor screen they flew and surprisingly the drone was also unable to pass the wind that blows with the speed, anxiety and tension still continue to hit the hearts of Jack and Nandhita.

"They both are indeed very extraordinary, still continue to survive even though many times hit by a storm." murmured Jack, but still can be heard by Nandhita.

"Yes..!! not only their physical and mental strength is incredible but their meticulousness and faithful calculation of their movements is incredible" Nandhita added.

The character of Arya and Elya are very amazing formed because of his childhood life, if they grow up and big with a treasure is certainly like a rich child in general.

"Oh ayooo..!!" arya shouted as she stood at the highest peak. Elya looked at her brother once more, without a sound and just a nod of the head with certainty. While Elya's chest grew and accelerated, the strong wind that roared no longer threw the slender body, even as if pushing faster to the top.

AT 17:00 WNT

They both set their feet on the snow, and a miracle happens that the drone that Jack flew also made it through the storm and followed Arya and Elya to the top. A sense of joy and joy was on their faces. Arya and Elya raised both hands and stared at the Drone.

SRRREEEEKK.. SRRREEEEKK..

"And the monitor" Jack said to the device he was holding. And Jack's voice was heard by Arya, Elya and the ten entourage still far down the mountain.

Arya takes the HT hanging on her plate to answer the call.

"Monitor Jack" Arya answered briefly.

"Congratulations today at 17.00 WNT. and recorded by Drone as a witness to your great and dramatic struggle that has successfully set foot on the highest point of the 4884 mdpl snow peak mountain." jack said with a trembling voice.

"Thank you Jack." said Arya briefly speechless.

SRRREEEEKK.. SRRREEEEKK..

"Congratulations Ndan, you are the first person to successfully set foot on the highest point of the snow peak" said Rafi, the leader of ten climbers with a heavy voice holding happy.

"Thank you for all the support, this is the success of all of us" Arya said.

"West side of the peak and, tomorrow morning is expected to be located, our gospel night continues" said Rafi firmly.

"Thank you for the information Raf." said Arya.

Jack took down the drone as the atmosphere started to darken and fog started to cover the snow peaks.

While Arya and Elya began to circle the snow peak where it was not so wide only about 20 square meters and in the middle there was a frozen lake with a diameter of 10 square meters without any plants there.

"Elya look..!? the frozen lake actually melts with the moonlight" said Arya saw the change in water in the lake.

"So right, sister..?! let's rest for a while." replied Elya.

AT 00:00 WNT.

Arya and Elya enter the lake, and perform the same movements as when in the lake of the god's peak hot spring, but currently without the guidance of Bisku Isaac. Although the water of the lake was very cold and very deep but they did not feel cold and did not drown, they were like floating in water. Arya takes a cross-legged sitting position and Elya stands behind Arya and aligns the image of the dragon and phoenix on her belly with the image of the dragon and the poenix on Arya's shoulder.

They began to concentrate, from Arya's body faintly visible light blue medium from Elya's body visible faint out of the light, the longer the light was getting bigger and the more visible it was. The blue light formed the shadow of the dragon while the purple light formed a phoenix shadow. The two shadows of the saint beast began to drift high up.

While Jack and Nandhita look up from inside their tents when they hear a thunderous sound like a storm in the air, Jack and Nandhita see a very confusing and amazing sight seen in the air. Dragons and Phoenixes chase and dance very compact with natural movements that are very beautiful. The scenery is considered amazing and so enchanting that it cannot be painted with words.

After three hours of soaking, the dragon and the phoenix stopped the dance, began to fuse and return into a single golden light and slowly it wrapped the bodies of Arya and Elya. Then disappear in their birthmarks.

Arya and Elya opened their eyes and came out from within the lake water along with it slowly the lake water froze again.

"Kc.. Elya look..!! where's the dragon picture on your stomach..? see this phonix picture..? so beautiful and alive" said Arya amazed to see the picture of Phonix who is very alive in the stomach of Elya when they have arrived on land.

"Surely sis..? the image of the Phoenix on big brother's back was also lost and this..? this Dragon image is so lively and beautiful brother..?" elya said while stroking the image of the Dragon on Arya's back.

They both put their clothes back on and prepared to go down the snow top.

Meanwhile, under the snow, Jack approaches Nandhita's tent.

"You were looking at the view in the sky just now." asked Jack when he saw Nandhita in the tent.

"True, that was the manifest birthmarks of Arya and Elya's brother, that was, the golden color when the Dragon and Phoenix disappear is a sign that they are fully grown and each has become an independent individual." replied Nandhita.

SRRREEEEKK.. SRRREEEEKK..

"Sister Jack monitors." Rafi's voice from far away across from me.

"Monitor Raf, what's up..?" answer Jack.

"Sir Jack saw the phenomenon in the sky just now..?" ask Rafi.

"Let's see, tomorrow when I get here, I'm gonna scream it all at you" Jack said.

With no strings attached to Nandhita, Jack returns to his tent. And go straight into the sleepingbag and lay down his body when he was in the tent.
