CHAPTER 39: RYU'S SECRET

In the village where ESTHER lives, the alarm has been given, the movement begins. ESTHER's aunt is worried about her niece, she goes out looking for her, she knows where she might be, she's heading to the outskirts of the village.

There she is with RYU in her sleeping legs.

She bends over to kiss him on the cheek, noticing that there is no movement in him, gives him a kiss on the mouth, this if he wakes him up, he walks away a little from her, confused, she apologizes, so does he.

RYU, he thinks maybe he did something that provoked ESTHER's action.

RYU apologizes, he just wants her to be his friend.

This infuriates and injures the young woman.

She confesses that she loves him, she has to get her to love her too.

RYU feels guilty, he wants to leave, though, he would like to leave without finishing in a fight, he appreciates ESTHER, but not that way.

Tears come out of ESTHER's eyes.

She says she's already a woman who can take care of him.

To love him.

RYU so knows what to answer, he turns around.

She claims, will you leave her with the doubt?

RYU says no.

It'll be honest with you.

He loves PANDORA.

This hurts ESTHER a lot.

It also says RYU that, he wants to remain his friend.

Not saying anything ESTHER.

RYU transforms into a dragon, in the face of ESTHER's astonishment.

She didn't know he was a dragon.

RYU apologizes once again for hiding it.

Then ESTHER knows who he is.

He is the son of the ancient king, the one who seeks the human girl of the new world.

Rumor he's been listening to since he got there.

And the human girl, it must be PANDORA.

The hatred for PANDORA grows, the arrival of that girl brought misfortune to the kingdom.

RYU approaches ESTHER, she shows no fear.

He offers her her hand, she hesitates a little and touches her curiously.

RYU tells him it's not normal to love a dragon being human.

ESTHER tells him PANDORA is, too.

RYU knows.

He's quiet.

ESTHER tells her not to stay away from her.

That he promises to come back, only then will he let him go.

RYU, a little calmer, says yes, he'll see her again.

Aunt's voice is heard calling her.

RYU says he must go now, or his aunt will be scared.

ESTHER says she won't tell her aunt of her secret.

RYU takes flight.

Auntie gets to ESTHER.

Aunt tells her about the evacuation as she takes her hand and they start walking.

He asks about RYU, ESTHER, with some melancholy, tells him he went home.

RYU have set out on a flight to the mountain of dragons.

In the dry meadow, PANDORA has awakened, by opening its eyes, you can see the dry grass, it rotates its body upwards, it meets the starry sky.

The sky is so beautiful tonight, think PANDORA, she raises her arm, with her hand open as if she could touch the firmament, she sees the stars between her fingers.

Somehow, this makes her feel better, she sits down and sees her basket, she opens it, she can see that everything inside is spoiled, she calmly collects her useless food and puts them inside the basket.

Before standing up, she sighs looking up at the sky, gets up and heads towards the village.

From afar, you can see that smoke comes out from inside the mountain, RYU is no longer that far from there.

Seeing the smoke, he intrigues and accelerates the flight, he feels that something is not right.

In the village of PANDORA has begun mobilization, they are guiding the villagers towards the caverns made for their protection.

Upon entering the village, PANDORA is pulled by the river of people walking towards the cavern, no one is allowed to stay at home, some of the protectors go from house to house, taking out the inhabitants.

PANDORA, she's a little scared, she doesn't know what's going on?

But, for all this movement, nothing good is it.

She follows the instructions, they're putting them in the cave.

It is at this time that she realizes that no one died from contact with her when she encountered the mob.

So far he's noticed this fact.

I was so focused on knowing what was going on that overlooked it.

The good thing is, now you know one thing, it's not always lethal to humans, the important thing is to know, when it is.

In the village of ESTHER, they have been removed from their homes, they have almost finished with the refuge of the inhabitants in the cavern of their area, they meet the others, guarded by protectors at the entrances.

The cavern is dark and cold.

ESTHER hugs his aunt.

The atmosphere is tense.

They're told they'll be given instructions soon, the guards leave the cavern, closing it out.

On the mountain of dragons, as the lookouts are pending, they have been able to realize that enemies are no longer in the area, there is a group from the village next to the mountain and more of the other villages come, all in a call for help towards the mountain.

RYU is close to arriving, he sees the group that's somewhat in front of him.

RYU, he strives to reach them.

It is by SHURUI that, RYU learns that the mountain was attacked by the army of DWYER and ANCALAGON.

Despair takes hold of him.

Hurry up the flight and arrive a few minutes before the others, only to see the catastrophe in which everyone is on the mountain.

The great territory of dragons, invaded by lifeless bodies of shattered protectors and enemies who perished in battle.
