It was after Ye Lingwei finished calling Ye Xuan that he called Fei Lan. It was as if the slight conflict that happened between the two of them that night was purely an illusion; one didn't take it to heart at all, and the other was happy to see this outcome. Ye Lingwei didn't want to become Fei Lan's enemy or opponent. Fei Lan... Fei Lan didn't want to see Ye Lingwei cry again. That little boy who called him ‘Gege’—he could still protect him for a few more years. Having eaten something…- 292.6 K • Completed
Time passed slowly. Only the physical changes felt like a storm. My body grew visibly day by day. My stiff wings softened and gained elasticity. Flap! I began moving between the branches of tall trees. What had been mere flapping soon transformed into soaring. Just as one doesn't ask parents how to use hands and feet, the wings cast into the sky naturally fulfilled their purpose. Once I could fly, my range of activity expanded dramatically. I learned there were two lakes nearby, one…- 171.8 K • Completed
- I’m alive...! I felt a rush of joy and gripped the front toes of my parent dragon as tightly as I could. Then, I heard it. Drip. Splat. Thick, wet clumps fell onto my head. Is she feeding me while we fly? I looked up. ‘...?!’ It wasn't food. It was the blood and flesh of the parent dragon. The dragon’s mouth gaped. Blood poured inside my own mouth, and I clamped it shut in horror. What is this! What's happening! I’d been rolling around like a tumbleweed, so I didn't…

- Grab! He seized the back of my neck. I reflexively opened my eyes and met the gaze of the man who had lifted me off the ground. They were dark gray. Deep. They rippled. Exactly like the shadow of a flood. ……But unlike that atmospheric gaze, the man wore an expression as if he were looking at the strangest thing in the world. “…….” ‘…….’ It was an unwanted exchange of glances. “Captain? Is there a problem?” “No. It's not a problem. Let's talk up…

- An explosive lion's roar erupted from the tiny body. The sound was cute, but the volume was immense. The siblings were startled and nearly fainted. The second sibling rolled around and nearly tumbled out of the nest. The terrified dragon parent blocked the nest's edge with his tail. The reptile's vertically slit pupils dilated in shock. Ha! I puffed out my chest. Though currently smaller than average, I did my best to show I would be a great dragon someday. The parent dragon snorted once, then…

- 1. Our dragon doesn't bite. I have no idea what happened. Nothing was visible. Whether I opened or closed my eyes, the world was pitch black. What did I do last night? Well, what else? Probably just drank myself silly again. At the end of my self-deprecating monologue, I heard a sound. A faint murmur, like the rustling of reeds, grew clearer the more I focused. “The wind is stronger than expected. It won't work today.” “No. We've watched long enough. If we keep this up, it'll…

- I am a frail little baby dragon. I am a frail little baby dragon. I am a frail little baby dragon...! I staggered, propping my forehead with my front paws. Wilted like blanched spinach. I even made my cries deliberately pitiful. Then, toward the Emperor whose expression looked strange, I sent fervent signals with my eyes. Please notice me! "...Well, being a youngling, his stamina is still quite weak. We should take him inside to rest." Nice! "Ah! Surely His Majesty Kremlis isn't... ill…

- The man who knew I was serious hesitated briefly, then he began shuttling between houses, fetching handfuls of oil, flint, and straw. ……A ball of light the size of a human head burst forth just as Kaelus was about to set fire to the base of the tree. Kaelus recoiled, startled even more than when he’d heard my declaration of arson. The expression evaporated from his face. Stiff and grave. He looked exactly like Kaelus from before he had fallen here. He bristled like a predator under…

- “……Something like that happened.” “…….” “What do you think?” “I think it’s somewhat true.” “About faces?” “About needing the vessel Artifact.” “…….” “It’s a new perspective, not to control violence, but to secure the vessel artifact for fear of it being stolen by another nation.” Kaelus remained silent. He did not seem to be really listening to what was being said. Nitan shrugged inwardly. ‘He must have a lot on his…

- "Ah, I'll take full responsibility!" "Do you realize that statement itself is the very symbol of irresponsibility?" "......" Unable to win with words, Tortan had no choice but to resort to his final measure. He let go of the calves he’d been clutching like a lifeline. Instead, he sprawled out on the office floor, clenching both fists. Kaelus’s expression, which had anticipated what was to come, clouded over, and contempt flickered in his gray eyes. Tortan faltered, but only…
