110 Traces (1/2)

Whoosh!

In the middle of the desert, a handsome young man could be seen sitting on top of a three-meter long tiger. The tiger's body is gold, with huge black wings that enabled it to take flight.

”Hmm, the place I'm in is completely different from where I fell.” the young man thought.

Taking out the map he received from the Tiger God, the young man knew immediately where he was.

”Let's go.” he said softly, as the duo began flying in a single direction.

**********

After traveling for a day, the young man arrived at the spot he fell. Looking around, he noticed signs that someone had been there recently.

Getting down, he touched the marks that were placed on the ground. When he touched it, a faint golden light dispersed around his hand.

”Boss..” the young man thought.

”So he waited for me all this time.”

The young man followed along the traces that his 'Boss' left behind for him to follow. It seemed like that person didn't return home and stayed there the entire time, waiting for his return.

He got on the back of the Blackgold Python Tiger and followed along the traces.

After another half-day, the signs stopped.

The young man found a large cave where the traces ended.

Suddenly, he heard a loud roar, deep within the large cave that he couldn't see through.

Roar! Roar!

Roar!

The Blackgold Python Tiger roared back as it heard a familiar sound. The young man and his partner went deep inside the cave walls. As he took his first step, the dark cave was suddenly lit, enabling him to see.

A long corridor awaited the young man, he spent a few minutes just to be able to reach for the other side of the cave.

When he looked out, he saw a familiar silhouette sitting down with his back turned away from the young man.

Around him, seven large dragons were flying in the air. It seems the huge cave was much larger than he thought. Even though each dragon was over twenty meters in length, all of them were easily able to fit inside, while not even an eighth of the space was filled up!

The young man entered and shouted.

”Boss!”

The young man with his back turned away, stood up and turned to face him.

”Guess I can't call you fatty anymore.” the young man said back.

The young man who used to be fat became teary-eyed.

The two young men got closer to each other and hugged each other.

”It's good to see you again.” the other young man said.

”It's been a while, boss.” the young man replied.

The eight monsters also greeted each other with a roar.

The two young men let go of each other, before sitting down for a chat.
