tweet-!
The sound of birds tickles your ears.
The sun was shining warmly.
As if the wind represents the season, the cool breeze was faintly cool.
The vibrant leaves were beautifully colored as if to welcome the coming fall.
It is a sight that makes your heart beat just by looking at it.
beautiful.
What a beautiful place.
If I had been walking here alone, I might have stopped and looked at the scenery without even realizing it.
It was such a beautiful place though.
‘What is this place?’
I couldn’t just enjoy the scenery with a happy heart.
It must have been a world filled with the sound of burning ashes until just before.
Why did the world change like this?
even.
‘Why?’
An earthquake was happening in my eyes as I looked around.
where you see it for the first time
No, there are a lot of places I went around, so I don’t know if I’ve passed by somewhere.
Even so.
‘Why am I used to it?’
You can’t get used to it like this.
I miss and feel sad as if I had visited sometime.
Unknown emotions surged.
‘Where the heck is this?’
Why do I feel this way?
It seems like I’m seeing it for the first time, but strangeness and longing coexist.
It was a feeling I had never felt before.
widely-!
I barely took my mind to the sound of the watermill moving.
I even looked straight ahead.
What we need to focus on right now is the character rather than the sight.
‘Anonymous?’
cotton.
I dont have a name.
The woman introduced herself like that.
Remembering this, he examines the woman. but.
‘I can’t see it.’
The woman’s figure was still unrecognized.
blurry
The presence was very clear, but for some reason, it was not properly recognized.
It was as if he refused to recognize her.
‘What is it?’
I know what’s going on in my body.
It was at this point that Noya and Kreungi were away.
So, at best, there are two that I can think of.
Not bloody among them.
‘Unless it’s a divine sword.’
What is that?
I couldn’t tell.
at that time.
Whoops.
A woman’s laughter was heard.
“It’s the same expression.”
“what…?”
“This is the expression you always made when you were in a lot of trouble. I can’t help but feel welcome.”
I had to frown at the words mixed with laughter.
Because it was as if he knew me well.
I moved my hand slightly.
Hwareuk-!
Even if you want to gather sparks for an instant.
sudden-!
The flame soon goes out.
‘I’ll turn around.’
It must be my image space.
I can’t use my power as I please? What kind of strange situation is this?
“Who are you and what is this place?”
So, I asked first.
After hearing my question, the woman turned her head slightly and looked around.
“how is it?”
And then he asks me again.
“…What do you mean?”
“Do you think it is pretty?”
“…”
Didn’t answer the question.
It’s because I thought it was funny to even answer this.
but.
“Maybe it will be pretty. Because it is your favorite place.”
The woman continued talking as if she didn’t care about my answer.
“It was a place where the colors became particularly deep when autumn came. It’s a good place to live because the surroundings are rich.”
He picks up a falling maple leaf and gives it to the child in his arms.
The child still looked terrified, but he did not reject the leaf.
“So I’ve been here several times. I watched you countless times sitting here and standing still and looking up at the sky. It is such a memory.”
“…What the hell are you talking about?”
It is full of incomprehensible stories.
Such a place, of course.
I had never been to a place like this.
“Should I call this a memory? Should it be regrettable? What do you think?”
“…”
“No, you don’t have to answer.”
The woman laughed.
“If it were you, you would have said it without hesitation. Because you are that kind of person.”
That smile was somehow heartbreaking.
sore And cold.
Also heavy.
That was how I felt when I saw the woman.
So it is.
I have so many questions to ask, but why can’t I ask anything? It must be something like that.
[Huh…]
The child in his arms shrinks.
Seeing this, the woman carefully stroked the child.
“It’s okay. are you okay.”
[Huh…Mom…]
“…”
The woman hesitates for a moment when she calls her Mom.
Still, I didn’t stop stroking him.
Watch this and wake up again.
This is not the time to linger.
I approached the woman and said.
“Give me that.”
“What would you do if I gave it to you?”
“I have to kill you.”
The woman’s expression did not change despite the words spoken without hesitation.
“why?”
just ask I also gave an answer to this.
“Because that’s what it has to be.”
what it should be.
yes this is what it should be
For some reason, it was as clear as that in my hazy mind.
“…that’s what it’s supposed to be…”
At my words, the woman nodded.
“Yeah, that should be it.”
“therefore. Come on that guy-.”
“But no.”
Hearing this, his face twisted.
“what?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give this child up.”
“What kind of crazy is that?”
I want to take mine What does this mean?
I looked at the woman with a puzzled expression.
The woman began to put more strength into the hand holding the child.
“I said it before, but I didn’t want you to make this choice.”
Kwak.
The child also grabs the woman’s arm as if not to let go.
“Aside from that, I’m sorry. Because I was also the one who pushed you into the situation by saying I wouldn’t want a choice.”
I listened and raised my eyes.
Was it me who pushed you away?
“What do you mean? Is it you who pushed me away?”
“…”
Tak.
The sound of a waterwheel echoes in the midst of unknown words.
That was the starting point.
“That you had no choice but to go back in time.”
Something started to resonate at the woman’s words.
“What made you end up being a dragon and enduring this rough flow.”
Cracks form in the rested breathing.
“So it made a big burden on your back. In the end, it’s about me.”
His trembling breath made it impossible to utter even words.
What did I hear right now?
‘What the hell does that mean?’
Is it that woman who brought me back?
It can’t be.
That would be the case… the person who brought me back.
‘It’s the Heavenly Horse.’
The new sword said so.
The Heavenly Demon was also a positive part.
A thousand times brought me back. It’s not that woman…
‘… Huh?’
While I was thinking.
I could sense something strange.
It’s because the blurry impression has become a little clearer.
At that moment, I felt like I knew something when I met her eyes.
“I don’t think you can…”
Jjirit-!
“…!”
One knee collapses from the sudden pain.
I had to hold my head and shake my body.
It is not a physically felt pain.
It was a pain that came from the soul itself.
This was a warning.
A warning that if you recall, your soul will crumble.
“Hee-eok…heh…”
He was breathing hard and was barely enduring it.
The woman in front of me is still just staring at me.
expression is not visible
I seemed to know at least when she was smiling, but I couldn’t tell what kind of expression she was making now.
but.
“Despite countless lives, the life you wished for was ultimately an ordinary life.”
Although he did not know the expression, he could tell that the woman’s voice was full of sadness.
“so. I didn’t want you to live this life So every time I tried to choose something, it gave me hesitation.”
The more you talk, the more your head becomes congested.
“It slowed down the choice. There was also a time when I covered my eyes so that I could not get lost.”
It reminds me of the words I spit out as if I confessed.
I always hesitated after saying that I would not cover the means and methods.
This is how I longed for a human even after becoming a dragon.
Does that mean that this woman did it?
“I still remember.”
the woman tells me
“When this house was first built. The smile you had.”
I also don’t know this.
“Is it because of that? I’m still here Maybe…”
I will stay here forever.
These were the words the woman whispered quietly.
“Hani, I hope you don’t know until the end.”
A voice is heard.
But I couldn’t answer.
‘voice is…!’
No sound came out.
My body stiffened and I couldn’t move.
Don’t fall out-!
I tried to force myself to move, but I couldn’t move, as if something was holding me down.
“Because oblivion is the best I can give you.”
Quick-! Fall out-!
A strange sound is heard from the arm that gave strength.
Could know.
It means that if you force it, it will be crushed.
Pain goes to the soul, not the body.
It was awful.
As much as I want to have this kind of pain.
“So even if you know everything later on.”
He barely raised his head and looked at the woman.
“Even at the end, I hope you don’t remember me. Is that my only wish?”
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Not only are these words incomprehensible, but I don’t know what kind of woman she is that has appeared in me.
Paji Jiji-!
When I tried to think of something, not only my body but also my head blocked it.
“Huh…Huh…!”
“don’t worry. This child… I will hold you in my arms and hide it from you. When you wake up, it will be no different from nothing.”
Spitting out the words, the woman stands up.
Damn-!
As the woman stands up, cracks begin to appear in the sky.
I knew it instinctively.
That my body would wake up after my moment.
“If by any chance a miracle happens and you think of me. will you resent me That would be nice.”
The woman let out a small laugh.
“To be resentful. it means remember That’s enough for me.”
It moves.
The woman who spat out the words moved slowly.
damn
Cracks appear not only in the sky, but also at the tips of the toes.
A woman with her child in her arms passes me.
I had to catch it.
He had to catch the child he was holding and asked about the identity of the woman.
Paji Jiji-!
The feeling of being imprisoned in the body becomes stronger.
“this…!”
bite this off
I can’t send it like this.
I woke up with just that thought.
Wooddeuk-!
The body is crumbling.
Ignoring the pain, I spoke to the woman.
“…don’t go.”
A voice that hadn’t come out came out.
Even in the middle of making a sound, the pain is still there.
It didn’t matter. It didn’t matter.
stop.
At my words, the woman stops.
I remembered looking at it.
What did I mean when I said don’t go?
Does that mean leaving the child behind?
Or does it mean to reveal your identity?
I don’t know.
The body and head are completely distracted by the movements that seem to force them to forget.
Even in the middle of it, I felt like I had to catch her somehow.
It was just that feeling.
“…don’t go…”
He exhaled once more, and the woman’s head turned this way.
still not visible
I couldn’t make out the hidden woman’s face.
“Ha ha… ha…”
The woman laughs.
It was a laugh I always heard, but something was different.
“…you are always too much.”
It was because his voice was full of water as if he were showing the emotions he had been holding back.
“You are leaving me with an unforgettable moment. If you do this, you will forget it again.”
I feel a weak resentment.
It’s a feeling I’ve never felt before.
“…Thank you. To make one more support.”
The woman said that and waved her hand slightly in my direction.
“…go back. This is no place for you anymore.”
Sarak.
Then a crack appeared in the floor right below me.
Seeing this, I urgently try to speak.
“crawl…!”
Whoop-!
“ぅ-!”
The pressure intensifies.
It’s like he won’t watch anymore.
“I will bear your hesitation. It’s okay if you don’t hesitate any longer.”
I try to say something with my stuttering lips.
I couldn’t even do that anymore.
“Thank you for matching my greed.”
at the same time as the woman.
Iron spatula-!
It feels like something is opening, like a lock opening.
That moment.
Woowoowook–!!
Unknown energy begins to rage in my body.
No, it was more like a feeling than an energy.
Break down the wall that was blocking you.
Things that were hiding beyond it rushed inside.
Although my hands are torn from the force and the pain comes.
still stretch To catch the woman watching me through the cracks.
one.
“always.”
didn’t catch it in the end.
“That’s all there is to the wind.”
Kwaak-!
In the end, it is swallowed up by the rift and the body disappears in space.
Whoa.
The traces that filled the background are also erased, turning into a world where only ashes and ashes remain.
Tap-! Tap-!
I hear something burning.
The dark world has come again.
in such a world
“…”
The woman stood still and looked at the place where the owner of the space was.
Is it because I haven’t seen you in a long time?
I think I spit out a lot of words without even realizing it.
It is to blame.
The woman looked at my hand.
Tadak-.
As if the world was burning, the woman’s hands were also crumbling.
“still.”
I was happy for a while though.
The woman laughed at the thought.
[Whoa…]
I hear quiet breathing in my arms.
The child she was holding was fast asleep.
Looking at the child’s face, the woman strokes the child with her hand.
He even remembers the lies he told.
-That’s the only wind.
The words spoken just before
“…”
That was a lie. Exactly half of it.
It’s not just the wind.
She wanted him to be happy, but that wasn’t all she wanted.
The woman had a hidden wish.
‘…Only once.’
Just once is good.
‘Call me by name.’
someday very dark.
the name he gave himself.
I hope he calls it at least once.
The woman was having an affair.
“…under.”
Recalling this, the woman laughed and immediately erased the thought.
It’s such a shabby and cowardly wind.
Even if you make that choice yourself.
The woman, who had been lingering for a while, soon moved on.
Unlike the woman’s wishes.
There will never be a day when his name will be called.
Therefore, the woman’s name was unknown.
******************
Whoops–!!!
The princess could not help but be taken aback by the situation.
Of course, the ice crystals started to glow.
All the cold air in space is moving.
Hard-!
Its energy is so wild that even the princess has to strain herself to endure it.
‘What-!’
It’s a sudden situation.
Did something happen?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so confusing.
Woo woo woo woo—!!!
The cold air constantly rotates like a typhoon.
I could feel it in it too.
Whoop-!
“…What…!”
It means that while the cold air moves, the palace’s energy will also be sucked out.
As if being swept away by the current, the energy he possessed also tried to move.
The princess forcibly took my energy.
That’s how I was able to withstand it.
It was unbelievable.
‘Hello…!’
The gaze of the palace is the center of coldness.
I looked at Gu Yangchen, who had his eyes closed.
I wish it was something I did
The cold air in the space was really being dragged away by Gu Yangchun.
Even more so, even his own energy.
‘If we go on like this…
Huh.
‘Is he absorbing even the energy of ice crystals?’
An ice crystal that glows in front.
Will Guyangcheon absorb even the energy within it?
If so.
‘How’s it going?’
The ice crystal in the foreground is what creates the frigidity of the North Sea.
Because of this, the North Sea has become a land of severe cold with snow falling throughout the four seasons.
If such an ice crystal disappears like this.
How is it going?
For a moment, such a thought passes me by.
That thought didn’t last long.
Woo woo woo woo–!!!
The coldness that was overwhelming.
Whoops.
It gradually slowed down and slowed down its movement.
hook-!
In an instant, the raging wind stopped.
It was a moment.
The fluttering dopo became quiet.
The situation became calm as if a typhoon had blown.
In this situation, before the palace master could grasp the situation.
Sew.
“…her!”
At the sudden sensation, the princess involuntarily widened the distance.
Not from anyone else, but from Guyangchun.
‘what?’
With the distance widened, the palace guard looked over Yangcheon.
Something is strange.
Ten seconds at most had passed since Guyangchen had closed his eyes.
During that short period of time, the princess sensed that something had changed.
It had to be.
Woo woo woo-!
the air has changed
A space that was cold and cold.
Now, for some reason, it is heavy and eerie.
what kind of feeling is this
The car the palace was about to question with vigilance.
Swoop.
Gu Yang-chun, who was standing still, shows subtle movements.
“…Ah…”
He spat out a short voice.
Yangcheng Gu looked around for a while, then slowly turned his head to look at the princess.
“…!”
The princess looked surprised when she saw Guyangchun’s face.
There was no big difference in appearance, but the atmosphere changed somewhere.
With blue eyes that are much clearer than before.
There was also a heavy and thick atmosphere somewhere.
The reason the princess was surprised was not simply that.
thats the reason.
“…Old Confucius.”
Gu Yangcheni looking at the palace.
“Why… are you crying?”
It was because I was shedding tears for some reason.
