We Live in Dragon's Peak

How do you know I'm human, just at first sight?

Mistral said intuition tells the race, but dragons, demons, and gods have that intuition, and I wonder why people don't.

"A human child?

"Have you lost your way"

"You made it here safely."

The dragon people stopped working and approached me.

"You're one kid. Did you stray from someone?"

Ares had disappeared sometime.

"Yes, I came alone"

I bow down and introduce myself to the people who have come together.

"Oh, my God, I didn't know such a child of a human race would enter Dragon Peak alone"

"I won't say anything bad. Turn around. I'll take you with our merchant squad."

Somehow we all seem like good people.

They all worried about me, and some of them even gave me food that I would be hungry.

"Thank you all for your attention. But I have to go somewhere."

Dragon people are interested in my serious eyes. [M]

I want to go to a village with a woman named Mistral.

"Mistral... that dragon princess village"

"How does a boy like this know Princess Dragon"

"Have you met her somewhere?"

I hesitate to question the dragon people. [M]

After all, Mistral knows everyone in the Dragon Nation.

"Yep..."

As I put it, an old man appeared before me.

"Visit Mistral"

"Yes. To see Mistral"

"A human boy, to Mistral... well, you"

Old man staring at me.

Bright white hair and beard. My eyebrows are long and my eyes are hidden, but the light behind them is sharp.

"Grandpa Koa, do you know this boy?

One man asked.

"You all know that. That our village Mistral chose a tribal boy last year by turning down numerous friendships."

I could see in the old man's words that everyone who was gathered was much more breathtaking.

"No way."

"This boy?

"Grandpa, wasn't that story cod?"

Everyone takes the old man's words skeptically and sees me with the gaze of being such an idiot.

"Mistral didn't say much about people's names and appearances. But the boy in front of him says he's going to see Mistral. Will the people recklessly enter Dragon Peak? And a boy like that."

"So, is this really Mistral's?

"The boy who enters Dragon Peak for no reason and goes to see Mistral Individual, isn't he?

The old man smiled at me.

I snort forcefully.

"Yes, I'm here to pick up Mistral."

A few people exclaimed, oops, at my temper.

"I can't believe it. Princess Dragon chooses such a child."

"Has Princess Dragon lost her mind?"

"You're just being used by Princess Dragon as a tool to turn down the conversation from us. Wake up. Dragon Peak is dangerous to you, turn back."

Look at me. I can't believe it. A lot of men, especially, raised their voices.

"I'm going to be young. Calm down."

The old man despises the noisy ones.

"There's no way that Mistral would choose this boy for any reason. Wouldn't you?

The old man looks at me. [M]

His eyes showed that he was worthy of the Mistral of the Dragon Princess, and he told the story.

"It's embarrassing to show the dragon tribes, but look at my power once and for all"

You can't hide your powers here.

If I can't convince the dragon people here and now, I can't convince the others beyond.

And to convince you, I have to show my strength.

"Oh, my God. Why don't you join us?"

A giant man with strong arms looks at me as he wraps his arms around me.

"No, I still have to travel, so give me a break."

If you make a move and you get hurt, you're gonna get in the way.

I ask the Dragons to step back. [M]

The intriguing gaze is a little embarrassing as to what this man's boy is about to start.

I made sure everyone backed down enough and summoned Ares.

A grain of light dances, converges and one girl appears, oops cheers from those watching it faraway.

"I'm just trying to be serious."

When I told Ares, she nodded.

And glow, merge with me.

Strong and gentle force increases throughout the body.

Furthermore, I unleashed the power of Dragon Treasure Ball.

An explosively swollen dragon qi.

Not yet.

I take it from the dragon vein. [M]

Keeping dragon qi in your body that is about to overflow and explode, refine it.

This is all I can do.

Dark enough to visualize, the dragon temper swirls around me.

Ooh, and a startling voice.

"A human boy... such an idiot"

An earlier giant man was surprised and looked at me with open eyes.

"This power. One of the eight great dragon kings, Jildo's..."

"What!?

"Why this boy!?

Looks like someone sensed the dragon treasure ball in me.

"Yes, I inherited the dragon jewel from Mr. Zildo."

Whoa, whoa, there's an even bigger twist.

"Master Zildo has succeeded him..."

"No way, either, to a man boy"

"Looks like that one."

"This power, the treatment of dragon air, I see"

Mr. Zildo is a former dragon king. That's why you're famous among the dragon people.

I find that Mr. Zildo inherited the dragon treasure balls, and one by one, more and more people are convinced of my powers.

"Excellent. I have power in my eyes. That's exactly what Princess Dragon deserves."

The old man opened his mouth satisfied when he looked at me.

"You have no choice but to shake me. I can't believe there was such a thing as this."

A young man sighs with his shoulders closed.

"What a pity we are to be inferior to the people"

"I don't know what other young dragon kings think, but at least this kid just inherited power from Master Zildo."

"I also fused with the Spirit to show it. This will be more than us."

I caressed my chest relieved by the reaction of the dragon people, and I lost my strength.

I manage to enclose the dark dragon qi wrapped around me in dragon jewelry balls and separate Ares properly.

Ugh, I took a breath.

Actually, it was the best I could do just to control my powers.

Now that I'm here, I can't do anything with all the control I can with my hands open, can I?

All right, let's make a deal with that. If it was supposed to happen, I would have made a move.

But that's why I had to show dragon power, or dragon temper, to lose the will of the Dragon Nation people.

Apparently, you noticed the dragon treasure ball inherited from Mr. Zildo, and Ares fused properly to show it played a role.

I'm not a rare person who can handle dragon chi.

I seem to have been able to convince everyone that I can accommodate the dragon treasure balls of the Dragon King's testimony and merge with the Spirit.

"Can you handle dragon veins?"

An old man approached me waiting for my dragon temper to calm down, Mr. Koa, to ask me a question.

"Yes, I taught Old Sleighsta, guardian dragon of the Dragon Forest"

There is nothing to hide from the Dragon Nation.

Because they know everything about dragon forests and dragon power.

"To that legendary ancient dragon."

"I see. Grandpa Koa's village was, for generations, the caretaker of dragon guardians in the Dragon Forest. So you knew Princess Dragon there?"

"Yes, it is"

I snort.

"Who is Master Zildo? I heard he's been living in seclusion among people ever since he lost his wife."

"I met him in the Wang capital, under the guidance of Old Sleighsta. So there was a lot going on, and I inherited Dragon Treasure Ball. I'm sorry I inherited this."

"No, the Dragon King should be inherited by a qualified person. I'm sure you deserve that, that's what Master Zildo admitted."

I was glad to feel recognized by the dragon people.

"Hey, thanks for a good meet before you go to the people's capital"

One man asked me to shake his hand.

When I shake hands with pleasure, it becomes an introduction and a handshake from there.

"Oh, I'm sad I'm going in the opposite direction with you now"

"After you go to Princess Dragon's village, please come to my village"

"Well, my village is closer. You're welcome to come."

"Oh, it's sloppy. Come to my village too, because I will use it to the village of Mistral."

"You must be far too far away."

"Your village is nothing like that."

I couldn't stop smiling at how welcoming it was. [M]

"Hey, you guys. It's good to make a scene with that kid, but we're close to leaving. Time to get back to work."

As she chattered and talked, one man sighed and took out the heads of the dragon people.

"Come and see me."

"I'll wait for you."

He greets me with his mouth, and the dragon people go back to work.

"Ugh, nervous"

I'm so glad there's no one to be scared of.

"You're still a child, even with all that power."

As the dragon people returned to work, only Mr. Koa remained at my side that he was from the village of Mistral.

"Why don't we talk a little bit?"

I say yes to Koa's invitation. [M]

Busy moving people sideways, me and Mr. Koa moved to the end of a building.

Home, but the morning sun is plugged in.

Koa sat in an affordable place, so I decided to sit with her.

"Do you know the way to the village?"

To Koa's question, I show Mistral the map that he asked me to draw.

"Well, if you have a map, you're not lost."

"Yes, it also depicts where the branches are, so it's okay"

But it's dangerous.

It's not about getting lost, it's about harsh natural cooking that's dangerous, I guess.

I know exactly what I was experiencing last night.

"I'm ready."

"You're young, but you have good eyes"

Peeing into my sincere eyes, Mr. Koa smiles.

"Honestly, there are many young people in the village who are not convinced by the edge discourse of Mistral"

"Yes."

I'm sure of that.

That beauty, that strength, that kindness. And the title of Princess Dragon. I don't think anyone who thought of Mistral would give up so easily.

If Mistral told me I had another opponent now, I would never give up. [M]

"I'm not convinced of anything I'm not convinced of, even if I show overwhelming power as I did earlier"

"If you ask me, yeah"

"I don't care if you pick up Mistral by yourself, how many people will snort at me when you figure it out. You still have a tough future."

"Ugh, right"

Maybe the reaction of the merchants earlier was just luck.

My feelings, which were a little floating, suddenly freeze cold.

"Still, I'm here for you. You'll make Mistral happy."

"Yes, I will do my best not to betray your expectations"

"I'm young, I'm young."

Say it. Mr. Koa stands up.

"Well, I have to get ready, too."

"Can I help you?

"Ha, fine. Keep your strength warm for the rest of your journey."

Mr. Koa walks away from me with a firm foothold from the old men.

But stop on the way, look back.

"Yeah, well, a dragon was nesting along the way. Be careful. And welcome me back to the village."

"Yes, thank you for your advice. Mistral and I will definitely welcome you."

When I waved, Mr. Koa waved back, too, and was back to work with the rest of the Dragon Nation.
