CHAPTER 43: ENVY

When the wagons arrive, in some there are isolated people, which they considered dangerous, some tied hands, neck and feet, their condition is quiet apparently, these are placed in another area, where small rooms were made as human cages, come down from the wagon, ESTHER, obey the protectors and ask one of them to help him find RYU.

The dragon tells him that no contact with the mountain dragons is allowed for now.

She explains that she knows him, he, he visited her in his village, they are friends.

The protector, a little upset, he says no.

Rules can't be broken.

Faced with the refusal, ESTHER is unhappy, he has to wait for RYU to pass by and if he sees it.

He'll yell at her until he finds her.

That's his plan.

PANDORA comes from one of the nearby areas, but as its path is steep, they surrounded by the foothills of the mountain.

In the same wagon that she comes, come about 9 more people and the coachman.

Everyone's sad to have lost their relatives.

These have survived, the strangest thing, are their new powers, derived from the area.

In this caravan, there is only one person considered dangerous.

It comes in another wagon, alone, it's tied to feet, hands and neck.

It has the power of the elements and when it loses control, it starts a storm.

The arrival of humans has unleashed a little chaos.

The curiosity or contempt of the mountain dragons causes them to oil humans.

And the fact that there are out-of-control humans with new powers is risky.

RYU is alongside the new board members and accompanied by SHURUI.

The council invites you for a walk, you should see the conditions in which humans find themselves as they were victims of the effects of the area.

At this point RYU is surprised, I didn't know they'd been taken there.

The councillors told him that it is all a contingency plan of those that had been created by YONGHÉNG in case of his absence or perish.

RYU understands that YONGHÉNG was a very foresighted king, too good for the kingdom not to fall apart without his presence.

Just thinking about taking his place makes him feel small.

RYU, before proceeding, makes an order for you.

He wants PANDORA to be brought to his presence when PANDORA arrives.

The councillors are not surprised, on the contrary, they declare that this request has already been approved by King YONGHÉNG, from before, he knew it would be made.

And like RYU, he will be the new king, there are certain conditions that if they can be accepted.

RYU is very grateful.

In his heart, the hope of finally being able to see PANDORA is born.

With faith in the future, RYU follows the councillors.

The makeshift camp is big, as it is necessary, they form more tents.

The good part is that the same people who are occupying that place, help to finish forming walls when they are given only the ceiling.

There's enough wood and branches they can work with.

With them, they have brought from the villages all the food that their lands could give.

Then come the wagons in which PANDORA arrives and the surviving villagers.

ESTHER sees RYU in the distance.

She yells at him, the councillors find it annoying that she screams, RYU recognizes the voice.

He turns to her, the councillors tell her not to pay attention to her, they will see everyone at the time, RYU apologizes, knows her, asks only a moment to see her.

Councillors ignore him and follow his path, they think he still lacks commitment.

RYU goes all the way to ESTHER, which holds his hands in his dragon form.

ESTHER hugs him and mourning tells him that she has been very frightened, in the cavern many were burned alive by the fumes of the large area, the image of ESTHER pitys, she seems a helpless girl hugging the young dragon.

RYU tells her that she is very sorry, she says that her aunt died too, begins to cry with more drama.

RYU comforts her, tells her that everything will be fine now.

SHURUI arrives near RYU, notifies you that PANDORA arrived.

Ryu hastened, drops ESTHER and follows SHURUI.

ESTHER is stunned, she can't believe RYU forgot about her as soon as she heard PANDORA's name.

With anger he wipes away his tears while still following him with his gaze, only hatred is reflected on his face.

And only one word escapes in his mouth: PANDORA.

The councillors know that RYU was taken to PANDORA.

SHURUI lets you see PANDORA in the distance.

Look at her looking around looking for him.

The image of PANDORA has changed, her body has changed, she is higher, her features more beautiful and she has the body of a growing lady, lets a woman's body be seen.

RYU, you've been fascinated.

In the distance, PANDORA recognizes RYU, there is no doubt, SHURUI is next to his beloved.

She's separated from her caravan.

They explain that RYU will see her alone on the mountain.

PANDORA, a little suspicious, follows them.

RYU sees them take her away.

Ask SHURUI for an explanation.

Whoever replies that she will wait until RYU, as king, finishes the journey with the council.

RYU returns with the councillors who have not advanced anything, they have been waiting for him.

They're on the way.

There, RYU learns of the new capacities of each village, the casualties, each species and the humans considered dangerous of the villages.

The day will be long.

An escort of young dragons, guide PANDORA through the caves that link the caverns.

There's a lot of destruction and still blood that stains a lot of those walls and ceilings.
