The Heir of the Sea
Strange Painting..

"What's wrong?"

Ethan asked astonished to see the behavior of the two employees.

"Ah. N-no Young Master. Ma-Sorry"

Said one of the officers stammering.

Others whispered to his friend that Ethan could still hear. Another employee whispered, "It's very similar to the Prince's picture".

Ethan tries to ignore what he hears.  His main goal was to get Baruna to see for herself what she found. And whether he could get an explanation for his strange dream that always torments him at all times.

The death face of the girl named Kaimana keeps on spinning on Ethan's head. He always remembered every dream he had.

The two stared at the entire room inside the house. They were just as amazed as Ethan himself had never come to that place.

This was the first time he had come to his ancestral home.

So many antiques inside that look unique and can be estimated that it is a relic of more than 100 years ago.

"This house since when did it stand?"

Ethan asked the employee. He did not know anything about his family.

"This was hundreds of years ago. My late father said it was a relic of the prince. The prince built this house in memory of his wife"

"Wife?"

"Yes. Actually lovers because they have not had time to carry out the marriage"

"Why?"

"I don't know that, sir. That's all my late father told me"

Said the officer who indeed continued the duties of the father who was once in charge of guarding the house. Because the Father has returned to the house of the Lord, he is the one who continues the work of guarding the house according to the will of the Father.

"I'd like to see a special room under guard"

Ethan said to the officer.

"Oh is behind Mister. But it can't be opened. We don't have the key"

Said the officer. Ethan looked in wonder. But he went to the room with Baruna.

Arriving in the room did not appear there is a keyhole to lock the door but it was true when it was tried to be opened by both employees and pushed or pulled as hard as any door was not want open.

Even Baruna deliberately tried to open it also could not. Though the energy of Baruna is greater than ordinary humans. It was as if a spell had locked the room. Even Baruna felt a slight electric shock upon touching the door of the room.

"Yes, you guys are gone. I'll call you if I need anything"

Ethan said to evict the two employees. He did not want his conversation with Baruna in with the others.

The two servants nodded in understanding and immediately left Ethan with Baruna. They still whispered to each other about Ethan they first saw.

Baruna was also curious about the attitude of the two employees and went around in the back of the house. He accidentally saw a frame containing a painting of a prince that was very similar to the man in Baruna's dream.

The man's face was exactly with Ethan's face and seen on his right shoulder stood an eagle gallantly.

Ethan who saw Baruna glued to look at the frame also saw the frame.

He was also very surprised to see the painting on the frame. Painting of a man named Arvie who was in his dream. Even his clothes were the same as his clothes when the man killed Kaimana in Ethan's dream.

"This?"

Ethan was shocked. The clerk whispered and looked in wonder at Ethan.

"I now understand why they're looking at you weird"

Baruna.  Ethan agrees.

Baruna's words surprised Ethan.

"Have you ever met Arvie in your dreams??"

Ethan was surprised. Baruna was also surprised that Ethan knew the name of the man in the dream.

"Do you know her name is Arvie??"

The two are now looking at each other in wonder. How could they dream of the exact same figure.

Ethan only sighed and walked towards the tightly shut door. They can't get in. But after Ethan noticed there was a shape like a palm on the door handle.

Ethan tries to hold onto the wooden handle and magically the door opens on its own.

Ethan looked in wonder at his hands as did Baruna.

Both of them were glued in front of the door that was already wide open.

The place was very clean without any dust even though according to the officials there, they could not enter the room.

It was strange and magical if the place was so clean and there was not the slightest bit of dust after hundreds of years of being tightly sealed.

They stepped in and noticed all the contents inside the large room. There was a bed chair in the past. Feeding equipment. Some painting tools even a lot of old clothes hanging neatly in the corner of the room.

The thing that caught Baruna's attention was the pot containing a lotus flower and the flower seemed to bloom and fresh in the closed room.

"Why are there flowers alive here?"

Ethan said no less confused. He himself did not believe what he was seeing. It was as if everything was very strange and unreasonable.

Although many things have not made sense since meeting Baruna again, the incident in the house is still strange and foreign to Ethan.

Although he did not see strange and terrible creatures, he was still quite surprised by the phenomenon in the house.

Brak!!!

The sound of something falling makes Ethan and Baruna reflexively stare at the sound at the same time.

It was seen that some scrolls were scattered and the cloth covering the walls of the room fell down slightly.

Ethan pulled the cloth that covered the walls of the room slowly.

Both Ethan and Baruna were surprised to see what was depicted on the wall.

A painting of a huge dragon and a girl who had the exact face of Baruna.

The girl who was dressed just like Ethan's dream. The girl's face smiled even as if it was alive.

Ethan unconsciously shed his tears. His chest immediately hurt. Seeing Ethan's condition makes Baruna surprised and immediately helps Ethan.

"You why? Oi! Et!"

Baruna said surprised to see Ethan in pain holding his chest and continued to cry.

Ethan shook his head. He himself did not understand what he was feeling. He only felt very sad and hurt after seeing the picture.

After Baruna noticed there were many paintings of girls with the same face as him.

The picture scroll was scattered in the room. There was also a painting of the girl with the man who was in the frame outside the room.

"What does all this mean"

Baruna muttered that she still could not believe what she saw.
