I want to live——— the dragon thought back on all of his sins as he wished hard.
He had killed and destroyed countless lives since he was born. Even so, he didn’t want to die, and his selfish thoughts were controlling his moves. ‘I’ll do whatever it takes to atone for my sins, so please help me, I don’t care who you are.‘ Driven by fear, he fought to keep his eyelids open. The moment he closes them, everything is going to end.
There is nothing he fears more than the end coming to a close.
What’s wrong with begging for your life in the face of death, even if you’re a proud dragon?
The dragon was dying in the middle of the wilderness. He had walked into a territory he was not allowed to enter in and had been attacked by a creature much stronger than himself. Thanks to this, his face was distorted in pain. The dragon that had been touted as a superior race was now being laughed at by passersby. He didn’t want that to happen.
But then he appeared. A human being was right in front of the dying dragon.
Humans are cruel creatures. More than any other creature that exists on earth. In a world where the weak eat the strong, they have increased their numbers, accumulated technology and knowledge, created powerful weapons, and now reign supreme over all living things. The dragon instantly knew it was going to be killed.
He put all his strength into his muscles to escape, but despite his desperate resistance, he found himself in a situation where he could not move. On the other hand, the young man is chanting a magic chant with an expectant look in his eyes. If it was an attack, he would have had to give up quickly, but it was a magic that had the power to heal, not to kill.
The young man was able to heal the dragon without harming it———
“Is this young man… related to my father in any way?”
I asked Master Raquel, who was talking nonchalantly in her bed in the infirmary. She answered sincerely without changing her color, even though I stopped her mid-sentence.
“He’s an important person. But what’s more important is the dragon that he saved———”
The dragon followed the back of the mysterious young man who had saved him. Although he was still wary, he wanted to repay the favor he had received from him. He had decided that he would leave as soon as he was able to repay the favor, as his pride dictated so, but that was not to be. The young man he was chasing collapsed on the road.
The dragon carried the fallen young man to his mouth and placed him on his back. He had been walking for several days without eating or drinking. He didn’t know why the young man was walking alone in the wilderness. However, the dragon decided to save him as long as there was a reason to do so.
With the young man on his back, he arrived at a small town. The name of the town was ‘Peace Town’, an unspoiled utopia that everyone was looking for.
The dragon showed Noah, who was on his back, to the people of the town, showing them that he had no hostile intentions towards them.
Even so, the dragon sensed the anxious residents and was about to leave when a man raised his hand. It was an old man who ran a ranch.
The young man woke up at a ranch on the outskirts of town and thanked the old man for accepting him. He asked to help, and the old man smiled kindly and gave him a variety of jobs.
Reinforcing the fence, milking the cows, feeding the cows, and helping the man’s daughter. Her job was to deliver eggs and milk to the town as ordered by the citizens. They wake up early in the morning and load the cart with the orders before they leave.
The residents of the town gradually opened their hearts to the young man who worked so diligently. When he arrived in town, he was treated like a celebrity, and it was not unusual for it to be lunchtime by the time he left.
A few months later.
The old man began to beg the young man to take over his ranch. The young man stroked the dragon’s scales, which were still in place, with a troubled look on his face. The young man stroked the dragon scales and told the man with a troubled look, “I’m a traveller, I’m not looking for a place to stay.” The man still didn’t budge and allowed him to marry his daughter as well, but the young man stubbornly refused to nod his head.
One day, as more months passed by.
The dragon had gone out to the forest to gather food. He was ready to return to the farm as soon as he had filled his stomach, but he wasted a lot of time when he encountered a larger-than-expected ball. After devouring his prey, and with a full stomach, the dragon spread his wings and flew through the sky. The dragon suddenly felt a sense of discomfort at the obvious thought of returning home.
When did he start to accept the farm as his home? Originally, dragons were solitary creatures with a thirst for flesh and blood. They are supposed to be on the other side of the border where they do not intersect with human activities. Since when, exactly when did he begin to feel this way?
The dragon was too tired to think about the question. But he had a place to return to.
A warm place to live in for the first time in his life.
But when he arrived at Peace Town, he was in awe.
The usual bustle of the town seemed to have been cut off. Not only that, but the whole town was filled with a smell of iron that would make even a carnivorous dragon frown.
