The story about dragon

I always thought that fate could not be changed,

It is as indestructible as steel.

...

...

The weather was good and the route was correct.

October is coming to an end,

On the flat and open runway of the airport, planes buzzed with the sound of their takeoffs and landings. In the spacious terminal, countless people passed by carrying luggage.

Ticket purchase windows, check-in counters, security check channels... bright luxury stores under signs and advertising screens,

France, Charles de Gaulle Airport,

Today it also transports tens of thousands of passengers to all parts of the world.

The real world is still running calmly as usual. No one knows that an event has occurred in another world that may affect the whole of Europe.

On the screen at the airport, the news about a sudden large-scale power outage for several seconds in London at night a few days ago was quickly drowned out by various other colorful media headlines, and no one paid attention.

Only the figure of a young man carrying a suitcase that was not that big stayed in front of the big screen above for a while. His eyes seemed to be lost in memory before he continued to walk forward with a low smile.

After passing through the crowd, the waiting room at the first-class boarding area was empty at this time.

Sitting quietly near the window, the trail clouds trailed by a plane that had just taken off on the glass crossed the radiant reflection of his eyes.

Then the boarding announcement sounded, and he got up with his suitcase and walked towards the boarding gate.

"stop!"

But at this moment, a low shout suddenly sounded.

With his eyes slightly surprised, he turned around and looked at the beautiful woman who suddenly broke in. Her rapid breathing seemed to be chasing him eagerly.

As a well-known fashion model, even her low-key casual clothes attract special attention along the way, but compared to these, compared to even relying on connections to force her way through the security check,

At this moment, Melandu'er just stared at the handsome figure in front of her.

The voice couldn't calm down while breathing and confirmed:

"You want to announce to the public that you are terminating your engagement with me?"

When he heard that she came after him to ask this question before he left, the young man just smiled and nodded without any surprise.

"Um."

After actually hearing such an answer from his own mouth, Melando's still-uncalmed breathing rose and fell again, and she felt a surge of anger.

The kind of anger that comes from being abandoned by someone you clearly have always looked down upon.

Taking a deep breath, knowing that he was the only way to get in touch with people who were beyond reality, Melandor used the emotional control she had developed in social circles and slowed down her voice slightly:

"Listen, I know that what I did at the dance some time ago may have made you unhappy, but that was just my excitement. I believe you won't give up on our relationship just because of this little thing..."

Annoyed that she actually needed to tell him such a compromise, Melandor wondered what happened after she suddenly disappeared from the ball that night to make him make such a decision when he reappeared.

How could he, who had been trained to be that kind of person since childhood but failed...

She tried to dispel his thoughts with a gentle tone, but a moment of doubt flashed through her heart. Melandu'er suddenly realized that the young man in front of her had been facing her calmly and gently since just now.

There was no pallor, no reluctance, everything seemed calm and composed.

"you made it?"

The words that were intended to be stabilized temporarily were interrupted, and she subconsciously asked this question. Melandu'er's eyes were slightly enlarged and she saw that the other party simply smiled and nodded again.

"Um."

Then, as if to prove it to himself, he casually put the suitcase into the standard carry-on space for techies.

This scene stunned Melandu'er, unable to accept it.

The person who was originally infatuated with her and despised by her has become the person she wants to get in touch with in every possible way. She cannot accept this fact!

What she couldn't accept the most was his peaceful attitude towards her at this moment.

There is no longer any admiration or fluctuation.

"So...this is the reason why you want to break off your engagement with me...?"

Seeing her slightly difficult question, after thinking for a moment, the young man answered softly:

"After all, the so-called engagement is just a scam."

Hearing him say these words directly, Melandu's eyes widened slightly.

"My uncle wanted to use me to gain connections with major scientific research institutions in Europe. He promised to inherit the group's bait and let me help his research team develop new types of aero engines and expand the market free of charge."

"And you want to use me as a springboard to enter the circle where the official participants are."

There was no tact, no backhandedness, no scruple, just a simple smile and said that he and his family only wanted to take advantage of him,

After being pursued for too long, I have become accustomed to him responding to my every request. Until I was exposed so directly and face to face, I couldn't keep my expression.

Only then did Melandu'er remember again that the person in front of her was a genius in the eyes of the world.

After telling what he actually knew from the beginning, the young man was not angry in the end and just smiled and asked:

"Am I right?"

And listening to his every word at this moment, it was like the most bitter sarcasm slapped on her face. She clenched her hands and lowered her head. Melandor suppressed something in a low voice...

"Is there anything...that doesn't work...?"

She raised her head suddenly, looked at the completely changed young man in front of her and shouted!

"What's wrong! I'm the best and most outstanding woman in this country. I'm already at the top of this society. I want to have such an extraordinary special partner. What's wrong with that!"

Then her eyes shone with light again, and she spoke sincerely and full of hope:

"Krim, let's start over. You are already a participant. I will no longer be indifferent to you. Do you still remember when you were a child, when I often accompanied you?"

"This time we can really be together!"

And after hearing her words and looking at the beautiful Melandre in front of me, it seemed for a moment that the person in front of me was not a well-known fashion model or the heir to a major aviation company.

But the little girl who quietly watched herself assembling a machine when she was a child and handed herself a piece of spare parts.

In the softest place of memory, the young man watched 'her' voice speak softly and carefully:

"Mel, I like you."

Then he raised an extremely confident smile, and all the paleness, sadness, and weakness in the past... everything seemed to be wiped out in the wind.

At this moment, I truly have the strong aura of a super genius!

Crim watched as Melandor turned to board the plane, saying goodbye with a chuckle as she said her name for the last time.

"Bye now."

...

I always thought that fate could not be changed,

It is as indestructible as steel.

Just like I couldn't become a participant no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't respond to anyone's expectations, and I couldn't achieve anything.

but...

Unchangeable, unattainable,

My pale and feeble life seemed to have been quietly changed when I picked up the dark crystal that tripped me in that arctic night.

That large piece of rare size completely solved the problem of scarcity of materials for the main experiment. The energy was extracted to create a dark energy crystal, and the remaining material was used to create the mechanical model.

Krim thought of the story about dragons that he had read that night.

It fell from the sky and helped the young man defeat his fate.

Recalling the figure in the dark well, who could even surpass the limit, he grabbed his collar and spoke in a low voice with incomparable force!

'Watching...'

I don’t know if I want to let myself see that despair can be broken, or if I want to prove the meaning of that mechanical model and the words he once said to myself,

-'As long as that's what you want...'-

-‘No matter how far out of reach you are, your efforts are not meaningless. ’-

He didn't think about the figure whose pride was shattered in the terminal. Sitting on the first-class seat, looking at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, Krim always believed in the results of his calculations without any expectations.

The only thing that can break fate is probably a miracle.

Then he recalled with slightly bright eyes the moment when the mechanical dragon that covered the sky and the sun spread its wings and roared in the infinite light wind,

He saw a miracle.
