The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 2 visit

Daniel opened his eyes slowly and woke up to look around him. He can still feel his body ache which makes him relieved, by feeling it, means that he is still alive. “ thank goodness.” Daniel then examined the injured body part. While examining his body, Daniel was surprised to see that none of his body was injured. Not even a trace. Then he looked around. He looked at his sword, but what attracted him even more was someone old man who was not far away from him “ teacher.” Daniel said to the teacher long who was not far from him was sitting on a block of ice.

Teacher long slowly opened his eyes. “ do you still feel pain?” he asked quietly like calm water in a lake.

Daniel approached and sat down in front of his teacher. “no teacher, thank you for helping me.” Daniel lowered his head in salute.

“It has become my duty, as a teacher to help his students. If you want your son back, you must find someone who can take away the hatred in your daughter's heart.”

Daniel was a little surprised when he heard the words of his teacher, whom he knew he had never told him that he had a daughter, but it was nothing to think of for him if he could save his daughter that was truly the miracle he wanted. Suddenly he thought how to find the person his teacher was talking about, he decided to ask, “But teacher how do I look for him?” With a confused face.

Teacher Long raised his right hand slightly. From his palm appeared a red crystal. “ use this.”

Daniel tiptoed and put his hands together in front respectfully as he arrived in front of his teacher.

Teacher Long then gave it to him.

“If the crystal is lit it indicates that you have found it. You can also channel your energy to track it, so it will be faster to find it.’

“Good teacher and thank you for the help of guru.”

“Sama-sama, hopefully you can return your daughter as you were.” Then the teacher disappeared into dust grains.

After that, Daniel stood looking at the ice building with eyes that showed sadness. “wait for dad, dad will save you.” He then took out his sword then slowly walked away. Every step he took, he could see the blood flowing making him sad.

...****...

Daniel arrived at the gate of the Uttarian city, he looked around, the trees, plants and gates were frozen, everything was frozen. When he saw it reminded me of a long time ago, when he always visited this gate waiting for his father to come home from work. Even though it was then that the sun started to shut its light, he could still feel the warmth within him. The people then walked into the city with tired faces, though they were always greeting Daniel who was waiting for his father at the gate.

Now it's all nothing, no passersby, no sunshine shining, Only the cold exists, it's all there is now, it was what made him want to feel the warm air from the sunlight and that warmth again. Why does everyone always want that when it's not there?

Only the cold air continued to fly which made him feel the gripping cold. It was only the void within him that he felt right now. It was heavy to say hello but this was his town, where he lived. With a quivering voice he said, “ Uttarian city I returned,” His echo while looking up at the frozen gate, which showed the writing of Uttarian city covered in icy cold.

Daniel slowly walked towards the palace. Every step he could see people frozen with terrified facial expressions and about to run made his face extremely pale and had no more light.

The overcast sky that no longer shone, he greatly missed the hustle of this city. The last time he left the city, the situation was very lively and lively, the most he remembered the conversation with his daughter when she was about to leave,.“ dad don't be long ya.” Said Kamaniya lightly who galloped swiftly toward Daniel.

Daniel, who was in front of him with his armor and his army, turned around and smiled. “ Dad won't be long kok.”

“Don't forget again!” she said with annoyance while puffing her cheeks and putting both hands in front of her chest which made her even more cute. Even though Kamaniya is 16 years old, he is still like a child who always wants affection and anger. His father always lied to him who often said that he would come home quickly, but up to 5 months his father had not come home, which upset him. Kamaniya had also often heard such words, which made him even more distrustful of his father.

“Let's just relax this time dad will be home fast,” he replied kindly while stroking elus kamaniya head gently.

“Dad!, I'm not a child anymore.”

“Dad!”

Daniel laughs. “good father go first.” kamaniya quickly hugged Daniel tightly. “dad take good care ya.”

Daniel returned the embrace of Kamaniya. “Daddy will definitely take good care of yourself, did you forget that your father is a general.”

“But, I always worry about dad when I go.”

When hearing his daughter, Daniel felt a sense of worry in the words of his daughter. “ do not worry, this time the father promises to go home quickly.”

Kamaniya gave a big hug and smiled.

“Everything is late.” His echo in heart with a razor-scratched feeling Although thin, but it suffered greatly.

“Kamaniya, father back.” He said while looking at the palace gate.

The picture disappeared instantly. “What happened to you kamaniya?” his echo though no one answered he felt calmer as he said that.

He then looked to the left, into the frozen water including the crocodiles. He took a deep breath and walked in.

He did not go to the main room, but went to his daughter's room. When he arrived at the kamaniya room that nothing had changed while he was visiting made him feel relieved. The room was very neat, 1 bed, study table, bookshelves and wardrobe layout nothing changed, it was just that everything froze.

As Daniel walks in, he realizes that there is nothing he is looking for, but something like a magnet that pulls him there.

Daniel put the sword and crystal in his hand and opened the window, he needed more power when he opened the window.

When opening the window there was no light, no warmth coming in, only a cloudy sky approaching him. The sky that was already tainted by countless black cloud clumps.

Daniel remembered his daughter as he opened this window, as he was about to read the book to his liking.

Back then, she was always with her daughter, a togetherness she never forgot in her entire life. Although Kamaniya was his adopted daughter, Daniel always spilled gallons of affection on her.

When his wife died, he felt that his life was useless, he always lived in the void until the end he met his adopted daughter kamaniya who was about to be thrown out, this was a blessing for him. From then on he felt happiness again, but now it was again disappearing, which made a return to the emptiness of life.

“Bug” Sura book fell that made Daniel turn his face. “ how could the book not freeze?” he nodded while walking to get the book.

The book has a title, “myce”

Daniel opened the book one by one. The book was cold, but still dry. So strange, when the book in the frozen closet is not wet and just cold.

After being satisfied to see see, he immediately went with three items in his hand “dad will help you.” His echo inwardly, left the Uttarian empire.
