"Stinky Dragon, where are you going to take me?"

After waking up from a coma, the thief who had already sacrificed his life plucked the courage to ask the red dragon that was grabbing him flying in the clouds.

But it didn't say anything, it just kept flying.

However, after the initial fear of flying in the sky passed, what emerged was a feeling that he missed extremely.

Enjoy the sense of speed when you quickly pass through mountains, rivers and rivers, and the sense of shock when you suddenly climb, which seems to have been experienced in your memory before.

Strange, I obviously have acrophobia.

Why...

I really hate red things since I was a child, especially fearing flames. Why does this red dragon make me feel indescribable intimacy?

Why is this?

When he was in the Curse Land, the Red Dragon was obviously clamoring to kill all the invaders. But why... why didn't he take action after seeing himself?

Moreover, why do I feel joy about this guy when my relatives have been together for a long time? The moment I see it, my eyes are wet.

If I hadn't been afraid that I would be ridiculed as having no courage when I cried on the spot, I might have burst into tears at that time.

As I thought about it, tears actually flowed out of my eyes.

He quickly wiped it away in embarrassment. Just as he was about to look up to see if the irritable red dragon found himself crying, he suddenly found that it was staring at him with red pupils.

"Look, what to see?!"

The angry thief tried to hide his embarrassment, but the more he wiped, the more tears flowed, as if the gate had been opened.

"Why do you cry..." It was very strange. The originally irritable red dragon made its deafening voice lightly.

That tone seemed to be talking to a very familiar person.

"I don't know... Maybe it's the wind and sand are too strong and blowing into my eyes. I want you to care. I cry whenever I want to cry. No?!" I glared at the red dragon awkwardly, but when I saw its crystal clear eyes, the strange feeling appeared again, and the thief quickly turned his gaze away.

For some reason, when he saw the blood-red pupils like gems, his heart suddenly felt ache. The biting pain in his heart made him feel unable to breathe again, and the bright red curse on his chest seemed to be burning.

"It's still as arrogant as before..." The red dragon burst into laughter, and a voice that was so light that it was almost impossible to hear sounded in the thief's ears; "You used to like me to fly with you like this, and it seemed like I had wings."

"I have never seen you before, where did you come from before?" Hearing the strange and kind tone of Honglong, the thief instinctively retorted, but the increasingly strong stinging pain gradually weakened his voice.

it hurts……

The curse on his chest became hotter and hotter. The thief felt his lungs exploded, and his suffocation made his eyes turn black.

"Sha, Shadas..." Finally, he trembled and shouted out this name that he had never wanted to say. Before he was unconscious again, the thief seemed to see the unconcealed surprise when he turned his head, and the thin pupils that suddenly widened after "Save me" that he almost swallowed in his mouth.

That kind of panic shouldn't have appeared on an ancient dragon, it is a proud dragon, a dragon king who respects all living things...

In the darkness, the heart-wrenching prayer came from nowhere, lingering in my ears.

Don't be sad, Shadas.

Please don’t cry for my death. You are the proud Fire Dragon King. Forget me, a tiny human being. The sky is your best destination.

I shouldn't go to your sleeping cave, wake you up in your sleep, steal the dragon crystal of your companion you are guarding, and I shouldn't let you join Moya's adventure with me, and I shouldn't... meet you.

Moya is right. Dragon and people shouldn’t have become friends... it shouldn’t have been...

Mother Goddess of Destruction and Nothingness, if I really want to sin against this world, I am willing to contribute my life like Roland. Although it will cause Shadas to lose half of his life and strength, but... I hope he can survive, and I hope he can live forever...

“Arisha!!”

The familiar name was shouted out from the red dragon. Before his mind was completely sunk into the bottomless darkness, the thief wanted to speak several times, but he still couldn't ask the question in his heart.

Why, you know my real name...

*********************************************

*********************************************

I don't know how long I slept until the firefly-like lights drove away the darkness, allowing the thief who was unconscious due to the pain to open his eyes again.

The sky is blue, so blue that there is no trace of clouds.

The surroundings are filled with green grass filled with fragrance of soil, mixed with small apricot-yellow daisies, and even further away, there are rolling white stone hills and lush trees.

The sound of insects and the sound of birds flapping their wings lingering in their ears. I carefully distinguished it, and it was mixed with the sound of water flowing slowly by the stream.

Everything is so auspicious and peaceful.

There is no war everywhere, no hungry and begging everywhere, no struggle for power and profit in the family, and no elders who are more severe than prison guards...

My thoughts were blank, this place that seemed like a fairyland. Even if it was just a dream, the thief would rather never wake up and just sleep in the dream.

"Laggy pig, when do you want to sleep?"

Suddenly, a rough sound suddenly sounded, interrupting the thief's idea of ​​continuing to sleep.

He is very familiar with this sound. Isn’t it the red dragon?

The thief who thought he was dreaming suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at the direction of the sound.

Two huge shadows flashed in the sky, one red and one white.

The red dragon landed in a rapid dive, and the airflow raised by its wings pressed the grass on the ground into an unnatural direction, and the soil and sand flew away.

"Ph! Ph! Ph! Ph! So much soil, did you do it on purpose, Shadas!?"

The dissatisfied female voice sounded, and the thief was surprised to find that the voice actually came from his mouth.

Then, his body sat up.

No, to be precise, he saw a girl sitting up from the grass. Her thin body was wearing a thief's standard black robe. What was most surprising was that she wore a badge with the Sardinian family emblem on her chest.

Isn’t that style the “guardian of the goddess” that has been lost in the legend?!

It is said that in the last Dark War, the Sardin family heirloom was lost in the war and never recovered again, but why did this woman wear it, and... why did she look almost exactly the same as me?

He reached out to touch his face in surprise, and the thief realized that he was actually translucent, and even the flowers and plants under his feet could not be touched.

"You don't even look at the time. Moya and the others have already set off and are still sleeping." The red dragon stretched out his wings and slowly gathered the huge pair of wings.

"Damn it, since you know why don't you wake me up." After getting up from the ground, the girl casually patted the grass and soil on her body, and chased her towards the direction where the Red Dragon stood in front.

"Stop chasing, the ground dragon they ride is very fast, and you can't catch up with the footsteps of a human." He suddenly saw the arrogant red dragon talking to the same human in such a relaxed tone. Before the thief could sigh, he saw another scene that surprised him even more.

The red dragon, as tall as a hill, instantly transformed into a young human male with a strong physique but no less than an elf. He stretched out his arm and grabbed the girl who was about to walk past him, his face full of displeasure.

"Let me go, old bastard!!" The caught brunette girl kicked and beat the person who stopped her from moving forward in dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you say you shouldn't get close to that Truk! She will bring disaster. The power of fate will distort everything, and anyone who is close to her will suffer misfortune."

"All disasters are better than you. The smelly old man always limits this and that. Moya won't treat me like this." He used his strength to push away the red dragon that was holding his hands tightly. The girl ran away while making a face.

"As wise as you, can't you escape the poisonous net of human beings called emotions? The King of Fire Dragons. Could it be that you really want to fall into a state like me before you regret it..."

The elegant white dragon circling in the sky slowly fell down, with a strong sadness in its tone.

"Although the power of the dragon can be retracted according to the wishes of our dragon clan, even if it is sad and angry, the feelings released in the heart cannot be stopped at any time. As you who have made a contract with humans, you should understand this more than anyone else, Kotar." A glance at the white dragon who turned into a human woman, the red dragon interrupted the words it had not finished yet; "What qualifications do you have to laugh at and warn me if you have failed?"

"I just...I don't want even a king like you to follow in my footsteps. Human beings are tiny creatures after all. When they get our strength, they will change, and greedy human nature will change those things that we once admire and nostalgic." As if being stabbed to the pain, the white dragon's sorrow deepened.

"Knowing that there is such a possibility, you have decided to share your power and life with that person, and you are stupid, Kotar." Seeing that the girl was about to disappear on the edge of the forest, the Red Dragon did not continue to talk to the White Dragon, but chased after her like a human. "I will not give myself a chance to make mistakes. No matter who the other party is, as long as I dare to betray me, I will definitely let her try to be burned by the fire of hell."

"What kind of feelings is the Fire Dragon King who has almost eternal life, and never returns... The Dragon God who created the world, why do you want to make human beings so unique, why do you want to let death divide the contract that has transcended life? Why..." After saying that, he ran to the red dragon with the oath of death, and the heavy sadness enveloped the white dragon left in the place. She stood quietly, as if crying, and sighing.

What's going on?

Why do I see such a scene?

The thief was both surprised and puzzled. Didn’t he fall into a coma because of the pain in his chest spell?

Why do you see these strange things? This should not belong to his memory.

"I said don't run around. There are monsters everywhere here, why can't your brain remember them?" The farther edge of the forest, catching up with the brunette girl who was running with all his might at a strange speed. The tone of red dragon almost scolding made the little girl get angry on the spot.

"Ah!! Why are you so verbose? You are not my relative or my parents. Why should I listen to an old guy's nagging?" He suddenly shook off the arm that always stopped me from acting alone and always stopped her from contacting the outside world. The brunette girl vented the depression that had been blocked in her heart for a long time; "Didn't I just steal a piece of your dragon crystal? You took it back, and I also helped to retrieve several dragon eggs and dragon crystals lost on the mainland as you said. I don't owe you anything now, why do you always pester me?"

Hearing their conversation, the thief hurriedly followed.

He also wanted to know why the Red Dragon and the Goddess of Dark Night knew the real name he could not say in front of others. What does this have to do with the blood curse on his chest? And who is this girl with the same appearance as him?

"Why don't you talk? Don't use the ring of the ghost friend to perfunctorily treat me. Moya said it had been useless to you. It was the Dragon Emperor who signed the contract, not all the dragon clans." Seeing that the red dragon did not speak, the girl's questioning louder.

"It seems... you admire her very much." Honglong's lowered voice had an undetectable anger.

"Yes, you didn't know it on the first day. I like her and envy her courageous character. She is also a friend I value. She never uses all kinds of reasons to limit my actions."

"What else did she say to you?" The low voice seemed to be enduring something, and the force in the red dragon's hand gradually increased.

Feeling the pain from his arm, the girl wanted to shake the other person away again, but unfortunately this time, the Red Dragon's hand was like an iron pliers, not moving at all.

"Damn..." After several attempts, I found that with my strength, I could not pull away the big hand that was firmly grasping me. The angry red-haired girl used her fist and kicked and hit again; "Let me go, you hateful old dragon, no wonder Moya told me not to get too close to you, no wonder she said that it would be no good if she was too close to the dragon clan. You hateful authoritarian old man, let me go!!

I don't want to stay with you. I don't want to sleep in a cold stone cave every day, and I don't want to watch a guy who always hibernates all day. I don't want...you, what do you want to do?"

He noticed that the trees around him were ignited by flames, the grass under his feet was burning, and the air was filled with a hot breath, and the girl ended her hysterical shouting in fear.

The red dragon in front of her, with a heat wave emitting all over her body, made her feel sincerely scared, and her cannibalistic eyes made her want to escape desperately.

"Do you want to escape?"
