Chapter 7: Elany

Ho ho ho, it was so smart to send him off pretending she needs that medicine. Now I can check her Dragon’s Mark.

I checked her Dragon’s Mark and was astounded by how beautiful it looked. The mark was hidden on her lower back and her clothing style surely made it less likely for her to reveal it to someone by accident.

But I wonder what in the world is her ability? This Dragon’s Mark is purple… I assume that means she has some kind of teleportation magic.

It was one of the rarest Dragon’s Mark. Not only had she an ability, but she could be in human form yet inherit the abilities of a dragon, like healing or having an great aptitude for fire-based magic.

“Hey…”

Woah, that surprised me. When I looked at her in surprise, I noticed how her eyes still looked human-like.

“W-What’s up? I swear I was just looking…”

“Sure. I don’t mind.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. But don’t tell him.”

“Okay.”

And just like that, she went back to sleep. My heart beat was still beating fast enough to make me conscious of the heartbeat.

I checked the status of the poison. Most of it was away. It seemed like the medicine was effective.

But really, with this amount of poison and the Dragon’s Mark appearing, she must’ve fought off at least 10 Evil Rabiters. She has a lot of mana for her age.

As I couldn’t do anything but wait for the return of Melo.

And speaking of the devil, the door to the hut opened again.

“Welcome back. You’re fast—”

“Elany, I think we have a problem.”

Lucas, a friend I’ve known since childhood, stood unexpectedly at the door. With his black carefree shag style hair, well-built muscle body and blue-ish silver eyes, you could recognize him from miles afar.

“What’s the problem, Lucas?”

“Well, that youngster went to the Mountains of Ice.”

“Impossible. They would’ve never arrived here if they passed through that.”

“Excuse me?”

“Before that young boy came here, they apparently passed a mountain.”

“Well, that’s that. In any case, someone gotta have to go after him. Shall I go?”

“No, I will go. Can you look after her? She will wake up soon, I think.”

“Yeah. Be careful, alright?”
