Hwareuk.
A palm-sized fire appeared in front of Zion’s eyes.
Zion abruptly stopped running.
Rachel stopped in front of Zion, leaving only five steps away.
She had been running for a long time, so she couldn’t even breathe well. She breathed with difficulty reaching the tip of her chin.
“Hey, Zion, you…”
“Warm….”
Zion was looking at the fire with an ecstatic face.
Rachel smirked. Fire seemed to be the best way to appease the simple wolf.
Rachel took off her hood to wipe the sweat off of her. The cold Northern air seeped through her black hair.
‘I think I’m going to live now.’
Her rough breathing calmed down.
Rachel lifted herself up as she felt herself drooping.
“Didn’t I tell you not to take your hood off?”
It was when she approached Zion and covered him with his hood that had fallen off.
“......Fire?”
An unfamiliar voice fell over the children’s heads.
The little ones stopped moving suddenly.
The sound of footsteps drew nearer.
Rachel forcibly lifted her stiff head.
“Do you know how to control fire?”
As if drunk on something, a man with his eyes wide open looked down at them and grinned.
Chrk.
His footsteps that trampled on the snow were making a wet sound, clinging to their ears.
‘I have to wear a hood. If I wear a hood, he won’t be able to see me because I’m covered.’
Rachel lifted her trembling hand, forcing herself to pull back her hood. It was to hide her red eyes and dark hair from the Northern stranger.
But it was already too late.
“Did you do that?" The man stretched the end of his words horrifyingly and laughed his lips out.
Zion trembled with fear of this first experience. He didn’t even cry.
It was the same with Rachel.
It was the first time she saw eyes without focus.
She got goosebumps.
But Rachel moved. Taking a step that did not falter easily, she stood in front as if protecting Zion.
“Ruby.”
Zion’s trembling voice bore her name.
Rachel reached out without answering.
A scorching heat lingered on her palm, as if it was about to pour out fire. At the same time, the ring on her finger gleamed.
A ring she gave to Eve as a present, but it was given back to her. It was the symbol of the South.
“Huh? That’s…..”
The man briefly hiccuped and staggered towards the children.
Zion gripped Rachel’s clothes even more.
“Don’t come closer.”
“That ring, I’ve seen that before…”
“I told you not to come near!” she shouted as a warning, but the man was insane.
Rachel’s ring was particularly clearly reflected in his hazy vision.
It was obviously the same ring that the medicinal herb seller was wearing.
The grinning stopped.
Rachel shuddered without realizing.
“Ahh, that old mister did this…”
The man looked down at Rachel with his bloodshot eyes.
“He dared bring a dragon to the North?”
As words came out of his mouth, his footsteps staggered, but his intentions were clear in his eyes.
It was a harbinger of an attack.
Rachel’s fingertips trembled.
She had a fire so strong she could obliterate the wolf without a sound, but the frightened child could not move. Meanwhile, the man was approaching them.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a real dragon…”
“Don’t come closer…”
“That’s right. They’re still kids, so I can sell them at a high price.”
The grinning man reached out and grabbed Rachel. Her tiny body floated in the air. As Rachel painfully struggled, her hood slid down.
Seeing her dark hair and red eyes, the man sneered.
“Hey, let go of me…! Ugh…!”
“How dare you come here, huh?!”
Every time the man shouted, there was a stench.
Rachel frowned as if she was in pain.
She couldn’t breathe well.
“Hey, you jerk! Drop Ruby!”
Zion was clinging to him and shouting something, but Rachel couldn’t hear him.
“This..?!”
The man pushed Zion away as if it was bothering him. Zion floundered and fell over the dirty snow.
His hood came off, revealing a distinct silver hair in contrast with Rachel’s.
Zion faltered and stepped back. He was so frightened that his wolf ears popped out at will.
“You two…!”
The man’s face deepened in anger as he thought it was a meeting between a hybrid wolf and a dragon.
He twisted his back and more force was added to his hand holding the child.
Rachel’s vision grew blurry.
It was dark.
Her eyes were about to close.
Hwareuk.
A large fire enveloped the man’s body in an instant.
“Hey, what’s this?!”
The startled man let go of the child.
Rachel fell to the ground helplessly. Cold air rushed into her lungs. Thanks to that, Rachel barely breathed. Meanwhile, Zion hurriedly supported her.
“You’re cheeky.”
A terrifying low voice descended.
Rachel knew the owner of the voice.
She struggled to lift her eyelids.
“Brother…”
A faint voice came out of her small lips.
Noelier walked over to the children. Then he took off his cloak and put it around their shoulders.
Red eyes and black hair just like hers.
And the unchanging, friendly eyes.
He was her older brother who she never had the chance of touching before, but the light in his eyes was the same as back then.
Rachel’s eyes grew hot.
“Argh! Fire, fire!”
In the meantime, the man engulfed in flames was struggling frantically. Noelier approached the man without blinking.
What should he do with this?
Should he burn it to death?
It’s a wolf who doesn’t know its place, so wouldn’t it be okay to kill at least this once?
His fire, which had subsided thanks to Eve, was raging wildly as if it had never happened.
It was when Noelier was about to release his power without hesitation.
“...Ugh.”
A cold temperature touched Noelier’s fingertips. It was different from Eve.
Surprised, Noelier lowered his gaze.
“Brother, um, don’t do it. I’m scared…”
Zion was shaking his head in tears.
Seeing his frightened face, the fire that had engulfed the man quickly subsided.
“Zion, I…”
He couldn’t speak easily.
He was used to the fear of others. But this child…
As Noelier hesitated, Zion fumbled and grabbed his index finger.
In that brief moment, the fire completely died down, and the man hurriedly rushed to the snow mound and threw himself. As the fever cooled, the man sobbed with a barely ill sound.
“...I’m sorry.” Noelier muttered quietly.
The blue eyes looking up at him were full of fear. He tried to kill others with the sun that the child said. Blinded by the peace he had experienced for a while, he had forgotten what kind of person he was.
Returning to his reality, Noelier took a step back.
At that moment, the man, who barely came to his senses, stumbled and got up.
"You're trying to kill me!"
The man shouted and started running.
It was a big problem.
This was something that could lead to a war between wolves and dragons. Of course, a fight with their enemy, the wolves, was what was hoped for.
However…
"Eve.”
He whispered her name softly.
When Eve sees this herself, she might become afraid like Zion.
Just imagining it, it felt like his single heart was sinking.
It was when Noelier was confused and reluctant.
Thud!
A dull sound rang out.
The man who was running away stood straight and stopped.
All at once, the three eyes turned to the place where the sound was heard.
Thud!
The man’s body fell to the floor.
Then, what struck the man rolled over and was revealed.
It was…
‘Apple?’
It was a frozen apple.
Noelier, Zion, Rachel.
The three of them stared at the apple blankly, forgetting their fears.
“You madman!”
Then, an angry voice rang out.
They raised their heads abruptly.
Eve ran to the man with angry thumping footsteps.
As if he fainted, his eyes were out of focus, but Eve didn’t care and grabbed the man’s body.
“How dare you! Who do you think you are?! Huh!? You’ve thought of me since I was weak, you bastard!”
“......Eve?”
“Die! Die!”
Eve shook the man’s body.
She seemed to have lost her reason.
She picked up her fallen frozen apples.
Noelier finally came to his senses.
“Eve!”
He ran hastily and took away the apple in Eve’s hand.
“Give it back! I have to kill this guy!”
“Eve, calm down.”
“Go die! Get lost! Why do you even live?”
“Eve.”
“Why does it keep becoming a devastating novel? I mean, I like fairy tales!”
Eve seemed to have no idea what she was talking about.
Noelier wrapped Eve's hand holding the man’s body and led her toward him.
A terrifyingly cold chill rushed through his body, making him shiver involuntarily. He was so addled, but Eve didn’t seem to be. She was still wheezing, unable to calm down.
“Eve.”
“Ee, crazy…”
Noelier reached out to her with courage. He covered her cheek and turned it towards him. Hoping for her to calm down like he did.
Their eyes met each other.
Noelier froze like a child caught doing something bad.
“......”
A face contorted with anger met a terrifyingly handsome face.
