Chapter Thirteen
"The winter is coming." The old man said.
His apprentice looked at him when he heard what his master said. He looks so weird although he knew that his master is naturally weird, but at this time it was weirder. He was looking into a distance saying the words while he's out of his mind.
"What do you mean, Master Immo?" The apprentice curiously asked.
"This is not just a normal winter. The Western country should have to prepare for this."
The apprentice was shocked.
"Even himself is not normal too." He said in mind. Then he followed the old man walked.
They were now going back to their house. In the Mt. Miraculo, Master Immo had more houses. And it's three different kinds. Wood House, Nipa House and the Stone House. Because it was summer now in the West country, they were staying in the Nipa house. But the old man said something about the coming winter. So after he put down all he carries he immediately packed some things. The apprentice was shocked again. 
"What's wrong, Master?"
"We should bring and transfer all our things in the stone house. Move fast!"
"What?" The apprentice was now really perplexed.
But as what his master said, so he followed. He then packed the things, he picks first the most necessary.
"We should inform the people who also live here in the mountain." The old man said while packing. 
There's only few residents living in the Mt. Miraculo. And they were living far away. Each of their houses was far apart.
"Where is your brother?" The old man asked after he prepared all the things he would have to bring.
"I go look around, Master." The apprentice said.
He saw his brother feeding the horse in the stable.
"Brother, Master was looking for you." He shouts.
"Oh.. okay. I'm going!" His brother answered.
"After I finished feeding Cleopatra." His brother shouts.
"You must go now, not later!"
When he saw his brother walking towards him, he walked to go back to the house.
"He's coming." He said as he returned.
After a while, his brother arrived. 
"What?" He almost couldn't speak when he saw the stuffs outside.
"Why?" He uttered.
"Get your Cleopatra and wagon to bring our things in the stone house." His master commands.
"Ah.." he was about to ask when the old man speaks.
"Don't ask more. Just go hurry."
"Ah.. yes, Master." Then he went back to the stable to get the horse and wagon.
The old man ordered to his apprentice to write a letter. An information about the coming winter. He gave advice to the people who lived in the mountain that they must have to prepare. Then he sent the letters through ravens.
But the old man feels that this kind of winter is not just in the Mt. Miraculo but also could affect the whole West country. How can he inform all Western? Only the Mt. Miraculo's people can reach his information. He thinks of a way. Then suddenly he had an idea. At least some near city in the Mt. Miraculo will be informed. 
"Einyo." He called his apprentice.
"Why Master?" 
"Send your pigeon with a message to the City."
"Master?" 
"At least we could give information to them. They could easily spread the news to the Western people." 
The apprentice followed the old man. Even it was weird, he knew his master. Every word from him that didn't mean to out was surely a fact.
"Angelia, be careful. I'm sorry but Master told this to do." He said while rubbing its feather.
"You're going to send this letter to the city." The apprentice was talking to his pigeon.
"The city is not safe for you, so be careful." He said while putting a tie to the rolled up paper.
Angelia was listening.
"You might be caught." 
"And also you might be caught not by the human but by the gadgets, like camera." The apprentice said when he necklace the rolled up paper to the pigeon's neck.
"Don't be obvious when you drop this paper."
"It's done!" He said after checking the paper if secure.
The pigeon suddenly looked up to the left direction and then to the right seems asking if where direction should go to fly.
The apprentice smiled.
"The nearest city was over there." He pointed its direction while saying.
"You should drop that letter in Mayor's place."
"Angelia, don't be held captive by other pigeons."
"Always remember that you are a homing pigeon. You are my homing pigeon. You shall return. Okay?" Then he rubbed again its feather before finally let it go to fly.
"Yin, don't move!" Her father said.
"Oh my God!" Her mother was scared.
She saw her mother's reaction. So she was curious what's going on.
"I said don't move." Her father repeated.
So she followed her father.
Then her father slowly approached. Yin was shocked when the snake thudded to the ground. Her mother almost run. She avoided the snake.
"No Dad!" Yin stops her father. He was about to kill the snake that falls on the ground.
"Why?" Her father curiously asked.
"Let that go!"
Then the snake crawled away.
Her mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost died." She uttered.
The snake scared Yin's parents. But why she didn't feel even a little bit fear? They continued to walk. After a while, her mother asked how could they find the old man because they don't have information where in the mountain of Miraculo the old man was living? They also don't even have a map as a guide to find its location in the mountain. The Mt. Miraculo was big enough to search the old man which they don't even know the name.
After a while, they felt the changes of weather. The summer wind blows humid air, but instead become hotter it turns into cold. Yin's mother checked Yin, she noticed that Yin was getting colder.
"Yin, are you feeling okay? You're a bit colder." Her mother asked.
"I'm okay, Mom. But you're right. I'm getting colder now. And I don't know why?" 
"You are really naturally cold, Yin. Maybe there's a reason that we didn't still figure out. Why you're getting colder? And how or why could the weather suddenly changed even the summer turns into winter whenever you were around?" Her father shared his thoughts.
"That's why we are here, Dad. To find the answer." She said.
Then her father smiled to her. 
After a few hours, they saw a house. They decided to approach. A house made of wood. They knocked first and call for anybody who was there. But nobody was there.
