Posted on February 5, 2016 by kobatochandaisuki -- Leave a reply

The Hero King spoke: ”What? Nagas can shed tears? Let ive you soht ” – Penzhoil’s

Ryoon Fei was lying on a cold stone altar

There was no one besides hiainst, so Ryoon Fei thought that he was a character in a picture that had no background

Suddenly, Ryoon flinched Fine art, like as But unlike the indifference towards , the reason why Nagas do not have fine arts is because of their astounding vision To Nagas, who can see tereatest human painter is not much as can see a very side spectruas do not draw

Hence, it is not natural for a Naga to iine himself in a picture

Ryoon Fei kneell how he thought of ‘picture’ He also knew that how he obtained this knowledge was not the so he could naturally neer to someone else This was a shaht was read

Froed

Ryoon could see the daggers colored even colder than therasped in their hands Ryoon screaas approaching the altar did not falter even a little bit Ryoon, as screa, scurried to neer But Ryoon was shocked He couldn’t neer

”Aa?”

Ryoon tried to shake his hands, but only then he realized that his hands were tied to the altar While Ryoon futily struggled, the shadows surrounded the altar

One of them ripped Ryoon’s shi+rt At the horrific sound of cloth ripping, Ryoon paniced and looked down at his exposed chest Under the hard scales, he could see vaguely his beating heart Because it was beating with such heat, he could see it Ryoon looked around at those ere surrounding the altar, and shi+vered as he only saw cold darkness in their chests

All of them had their hearts extracted

And now, they were going to extract Ryoon’s

”Wait! I’a! It’s a mistake! If you take out my heart, I’ll die!”

Ryoon screah they would have heard it despite their poor hearing, they did not budge Actually, there was one that h in the air In the darkness, the dagger shi+ned fla all kinds of colors and teer struck doithout mercy

Ryoon couldn’t even scream

What Ryoon saas not red The red blood drops that poured out like an explosion looked like a fountain of all kinds of flamboyant colors to Ryoon’s eyes The circulation of air that became a carnival of colors atop his open chest even looked beautiful It was because hot body te pain for a moment, was fixated at the scene

Suddenly, the one on the right threw his hand forward Ryoon, as he saw another person’s hand enter his open chest, felt like his breathing was stopped As that handlike a river of lights Of course, it was the blood of Ryoon himself

The hand that went through inside the chest finally pulled out so heat flow spread around like aurora It was the heart Because it was beating with such heat, the heart was setting fire on the darkness that surrounded it And because of that light, Ryoon was able to see the one that took out his heart

It was the face of Ryoon himself

[The dream can’t even be neered, Ryoon First of all, the extraction ceremony does not happen like that Also, the heart that you described is just like that of the warive you that it was mystical]

Hwareet Makerow s but Ryoon did not Hwareet took back his smile, and calmly neered

[I’ dream It looks like you’re ht But this is just an illusion created by your paranoia The only ones that believe that drea are the Dokkaebis]

[Humans believe in dreams too]

[Is that so? That could be They’re level of foolishness match each other]

[And I want to believe too]

Hwareet closed his mind and looked at his friend He could not think of an appropriate neerm, so Hwareet shi+fted his interest to the top of the dining table

There were rats on the top of the table The rats were not hurt anywhere, but theyaway This fine touch was probably done by Samo Fei, Ryoon Fei’s second sister

The reaction incurred by the naraju are two opposite poles Those who show positive reaction are mostly men This is because Sa the honesty as an important virtue, Somero Makerow, the first sister of Hwareet, has expressed her opinion about this conduct by saying ‘What use are men when you don’t sleep with them? She is pretentious’ Also, those who dislike Samo are mostly women Because all the men come to the Fei clan Because the ed into the bedroom

Picking up the warm rat, Hwareet wondered if Saotiation that she found Hwareet decided that he will see if this is true

[Howover in this house?]

[About eight]

Hwareet nodded There can’t be more than tomen that are in their fertileIf tonation is very high Soon enough, the Fei clan will give birth to eneration Feis And the clan will flourish Saained her own peace and the approval of her fa of a child

[Eight ant, Ryoon There can’t be too uarded by so reat]

[I think so too It’s too bad I’ll only see her for nine days, though]

Hwareet looked at Ryoon with a surprised face Hwareet realized that his friend is not only fearing the cereot up from his seat

[I don’t feel like eating Are you eating before you return?]

[That is my plan]

[Then I’ll bid you goodbye now Have a safe trip]

Before confused Hwareet could neer anything, Ryoon left the dining roo his friend, but decided not tohis friend’s personality, Hwareet knew that stopping his friend noill most definitely cause trouble

After Hwareet Makerow ate he looked for his escorts, and at the neerm that two of thehter at this nonsense

The e Hwareet didn’t mind the fact that he had less escorts but was bothered by his matriarch’s wrath There were five women in their fertilein the Makerow clan, but only four ht to the Fei clan, and Dusenna Makeroill not tolerate the fact that they faced such a loss because of her son that will no longer be related to the Makerow clan in nine days

For ain the Fei clan hi for the extraction cereether didn’t sound like a bad idea The Fei clan will not be interested in Hwareet ill soon beconate their wo because he is staying (Of course, there is already ten reat) But if this happens, there won’t be anyover when there are five women in their fertileis an immense loss And Hwareet Makerow did not want to cause such loss to the clan that raised him for 22 years

In the end, Hwareet left the Fei clan with the re two escorts

The roads of Haatengraju was silent, as it was since the construction of the city Of course, if one was to open hisback and forth in the silence, but because Hwareet wanted to think, he closed his

In the silence, Hwareet thought about Samo Fei

A woa But her eneration Nagae, it would be like the atmosphere that Samo Fei creates in the Fei clan The atnate a wo for their next journey Even so, men leave many children for the Fei clan before they depart

Out of nowhere, a sharp neerm penetrated Hwareet’s mind

[Do you want to sleep with her]

Hwareet looked over One of his escorts that he alking as looking at him Hwareet uncomfortably neered

[Did you look inside my mind, Karoo?]

[It was ‘open’ You thought too deep about Samo Fei]

Hwareet was e around his surroundings

[Unfortunately, there are three reasons why it’s impossible]

[Three? Not one?]

[First of all, you’re going to becoroonate a woman]

[That’s the reason I thought of What are the two that I didn’t think of?]

[Samo Fei herself would refuse As you know, her will is accepted Because of her, the other woet in]

[The third?]

[The third is the reason that we both know]

[I know I didn’t forget]

Because it hasn’t been long since Karoo last shed his skin, his skin was sa, and his neerms showed the depth of his experience

[Many acolytes forfeit becoht before the extraction cereuardian after the cereo back Some people criticize their acts as a result of illpower but I don’t want to Their emotions are natural But, if that eroo you You haven’t forgotten your calling, have you?]

[I never forget , Karoo

Hwareet didn’t like the fact that he was seen as such a weak person

[I am ready But how are the other preparations? Is the rescue party ready?]

[It seems like it is almost]

Hwareet felt uneasy about the rescue party that consisted of other racers Of course, because the acolyte’s training curriculum included facts about the other races, Hwareet knew more about the difference between knowing fro Hwareet’s uneasiness

[It would be easier if one of us could bring you near the Limit Border]

[No, you have your own duties I actually thought of going to the Lierously co beyond the Li them there be safe for both sides?]

Another escort, named Svachi, neered

[Hwareet, you’re thinking like the Limit Border is some kind of a defined line like a fence or wall, but it’s not Between our northernraju and the unbeliever’s southernmost city Karabora is where the Limit Border is the narrowest, and it’s still 200 kilometers wide The other points of the Limit Border is about 500 to 1000 kilometers wide]

Hwareet was stunned

[They call that ‘border?’ Such a wide area?]

[That ‘border’ is deter called tee abruptly a few radually over a few hundred kiloold, there would be no reason to construct a city at such a cold region Anyways, it doesn’t id land Even with Sodrak it’s impossible But those warm-blooded unbelievers are not immobilized even at Keeboren Evidently, they must come down to pick you up Do you understand now?]

[I understand]

[Good Are you practicing your song?]

[It’s aard That song]

Suddenly Karoo spoke in his voice ”Sing it”

Hwareet confusingly looked at Karoo The place they alking through was the side the them as well Hwareet couldn’t dare answer in his voice

[Here? Are you crazy?]

”Hwareet, if we thought that your singing would draw other’s attention, ouldn’t have planned to have you sing]

[But that’s in the rainforest In the rainforest, the birds chirp and aniraju]

”So it’s better Here everyone is talking with their neerms so they don’t pay attention to the sound around theht now But no one’s paying attention, are the?”

Hwareet looked around and ada, could clearly hear Karoo’s voice, he as around the them attention

But Hwareet couldn’t open his mouth easily Alien, inappropriate, weird, uncomfortable, displeasure These were the e, and he was yet to feel any emotion that was more positive than this After Karoo insisted a couple

Then, Hwareet was surprised by the fact that no one was actually paying attention to hied, but there was no one that gave him even an indifferent look Hwareet looked at Karoo with a bright face and Karoo nodded Hwareet thought ‘Is this what it feels like to wear a Dokkaebi Ga the Dokkaebi Ga (In reality, they would hear a very sood as not hearing it) Hwareet becaher

And Svachi and Karoo thought to themselves It’s so fortunate that the others can’t hear that song Both in a good way, and a bad way

Ryoon Fei leaned towards the fading sound with a dumbfounded face The reason why Ryoon was confused was not because it areet’s voice He could not knohy his friend alking ahile saying such crazy things in such a weird pronounciation ‘Rotting li? What does thathis head, but he couldn’t figure out why, and hisonly deepened

The nextfact

‘Music… It’s a song!’

Ryoon sprang up and grabbed the fence of the balcony He leaned his upper body forward, but the song was already fading away Ryoon turned his body half way as if he was to folloareet, but then realized that his urge was ierous for an io outside without escorts Like Hwareet’s warning, they could be ‘hunted’ Of course in the Fei clan stayed so nuh to be envied by other clans, but Ryoon did not want to ask a favor to those despicable people Ryoon thought about his aunts and sisters, but none of theer brother

[Can I come in, Ryoon?]

Ryoon changed his ain There was one person that would stand up for him But he couldn’t ask that person Ryoon neered as he hurriedly walked to the center of the room

[Please come in]

The door opened Because Ryoon was looking down, he could only see a pair of graceful feet Those feet sloalked towards Ryoon and stopped in front of him, and Ryoon had to tilt his head doard even more to not stare into the person’s eyes

[Pick your head up, Ryoon Your neck must hurt]

Because he was permitted, Ryoon slowly raised his head An expression he was too fa up at hi But on her lips under her eyes dangled a s of this world Ryoon forced himself to open his mind

[What’s the matter, Samo?]

[I heard that Hwareet just left I thought he would stay longer If it hasn’t been too long since he left, can I call him back?]

Ryoon almost neered to her to do so

[There is no need for that]

Saain looked at Ryoon with those surprised eyes and sat down on a chair, nodding Ryoon waited standing still and Samo neered as if she was a little troubled

[Were you going to wait until I told you to sit?]

[Of course I was]

[Sit Ryoon Fei]

Ryoon sat on a chair Even though she sat her brother down, Samo just looked at him with a face that didn’t knohat to do Ryoon neered like he was helping her

[Please stop calling me Fei]

[Huh? What are you talking about? You’re still a Fei]

[Only nine days are left]

[You’re a Fei until then]

Ryoon gestured to show that he didn’t want to argue At the same time, it also meant that told he would follow the will of the woesture

[It was me who called Hwareet, Ryoon]

Ryoon showed a twisted smile

[Yes, I congradulate your success Two reatly annoyed]

Confused for a little while, Sarined

[Ryoon, I didn’t invite Hwareet to steal men]

[Dusenna Makerow ht think otherwise]

[Whatever Dusenna thinks is not true I invited Hwareet because you looked so anxious before the extraction cereht be helpful Hwareet careed, too But why did you send him back after just a day?]

Ryoon answered impertinently, as if he misunderstood Samo’s mind

[Then again, if he stayed for a few more days, we could have stolen the other twoto ht it would have caused a serious discord between the Makerow clan and…]

[Ryoon Fei!]

Ryoon closed his mind Fro into each other She looked angry, but when her er

[Why are you being so sarcastic? We don’t have much time to spend with each other anymore Like you neered, only nine days Why should we spend this precious tiry at each other? You don’t talk to me, and you just send back the friend I called over for you Ryoon Neer to me What should I do?]

[You need not to do anything Don’t waste your precious time for a person that will not be a Fei anymore in nine days]

Samo Fei looked at Ryoon with an awestruck look She knew that her brother was trying to coldly cut off all relationshi+ps And this isn’t irrational Relationshi+ps disappear since he loses his Fei naht they could reood friends, and believed that her brother would want that too

But Ryoon maintained stubbornly a stance that opposed her humble wish

[Ryoon, do you want us to be coers? Why do you do this?]

Ryoon stared at Sa his head forward

[Samo]

[Yes? Go ahead]

[I don’t want to be a replacement for the child you’ll never have]

With a loud bang, the chair fell down Salared at Ryoon with fearful eyes But Ryoon, instead of looking up at his sister, continued to neer while staring at his knee

[If you want a child, have one Compete with your sisters and aunts If you don’t want to, if you’re afraid of the co as a round Your brother can’t be your child]

[How… How dare you neer that!]

Sahtful sound No one has ever seen Sary Ryoon felt terror but kept his mind open

[It’ll be troublesome if it’s too late You’re already too late at this point There are wohters already Since there are ten men in this house, it shouldn’t be difficult to have…]

Ryoon could not complete his neerth

Ryoon looked up at Sa his cheek, and was surprised

A silver fluid was flowing froas, and because of it’s surprising color, the other races believe that its ical, but it’s merely tear But for Ryoon, it wasn’t just a nor to carous his cheek

Sa Her treer shi+ned in silver Ryoon carefully called for Samo

[Samo]

Samo Fei did not receive Ryoon’s neerm Her mind was completely closed

Suddenly, Samo threw her hand sideways

Then, drops of glimmer flew across the dark room

Ryoon could not look away The silver lines that flew across, cutting through space, shi+ma, which can not only see their silver but also their temperature, it was an explosion When Ryoon woke up froer seen Instead, drops of silver tears leading to the door shi+ned on the floor

The reason why Dusenna Makerow did not exert physical force to Hwareet was not because he was her son It also wasn’t because she didn’t want to leave bad memories for her faether Dusenna Makeroas an exea clan that was far fro amounts of verbal abuse and profanity, the reason why Dusenna ended up not laying a finger on Hwareet, was because Hwareet was an acolyte

[Listen well, you Dokkaebi! Thank the fact that you can’t ave children to other clans after hindering our own childbirth, I will not tolerate that!]

Hwareet was astounded at his mother’s wisdoa that will one day becouardian, but she neered so that it did not looked like she was suba that will one day becoure, but because she was pitiful for a Naga that won’t nificent speech, rieve the fact that his body cannot make children for other women, was able to mollify Dusenna

Dusenna was satisfied, but the passion of Hwareet did not end easily Because his three sisters and two aunts ere in their fertile as waiting for their turn to spit fire

Fortunately, Karoo and Svachi, who escorted hio to his aunt’s bedrooment, like her mother, to not to scold her brother that will one day becouardian Also Karindol, who consider all ht this to be a dumb mistake only stupid men could make, and did not scold him much

However, despite all this, Hwareet had to be baptized in fire by Viias Makerow

[Would you neer to me how old I am?]

Viias’s terrifying neerht to close his ed his ood could come out of that

[You’re thirty-four years old]

[Yes, thirty-four It’s been 12 years!]

[It was ive me]

[Forgive? This was absolutely my turn I should have had my own child! But you went and lost two ivable?]

Hwareet, with a disturbed mind, wished Karoo or Svachi would sleep with Viias Viias Makerow, unlike Karindol or Hwareet, was not a child of Dusenna And, unlike Somero, she wasn’t the oldest, either Somero was the child of Dusenna’s sister, but was adored by the e and her actions that fitted it But Viias Makerow had nothing to show off This hy she was so desperately clinging to having a child

Hwareet knew from a certain experience from a past howone, and Hwareet cautiously neered, getting rid of that memory

[I couldn’t do anything It’s not like I could have just dragged them back when they decided they would stay at the Fei clan]

[This wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t go to that bitch’s house!]

Hwareet didn’t think that this ‘bitch’ was referred to Jikuren Fei, the matriarch of the Fei clan It had to be Samo Fei

[Viias, Ryoon Fei is ed to visit a friend that’s distressed about the extraction ceremony? It is a duty, for an acolyte like me]

[And you have the duty as a h there’s only nine days left, you’re still a Makeroo ive them away!]

‘And you’ll get ht maliciously For a woman that is not the oldest nor has any children, but yearns to beco more sisters would be like a Dokkaebi’s prank

Hwareet neered unconsciously

[Some women without children are still respected by all clans for their moral excellence]
