Found Out

Rrooaaaarrrrr....

The dragon roared very loudly. His eyes were bright red, and his nose snorted with smoke. A terrifying aura enveloped his surroundings. "Try repeating what you said earlier!" The dragon said in an angry tone.

"That-that's not what I meant. We-we were lost. D-don't you feel sorry for us? Look, she's still young. I have to take her home to her parents. Let us spend the night here. We promise we won't be noisy. Right, Molly? " Blacky stuttered in fear.

Molly, who was frightened, could only nod and didn't dare to speak.

"No way. You two are not allowed to be in this place. This is a restricted area."

"Why is it restricted?" Blacky tried to provoke conversation to buy time. The dragon began to talk about why there shouldn't be other animals there.

Meanwhile, Freddy hid behind a large rock at the mouth of the cave. Adam had entered the cave and started to explore the cave to look for the whereabouts of the wind control ring. Branch after branch is traced. The cave turned out to be like a maze. Adam had been exploring the cave for an hour but he still hadn't found the ring. He was starting to get a little desperate.

On the other hand, the dragon began to realize that he had been outside the cave for too long. He immediately rushed back to the cave.

"Damn, I've been here too long. I have to go back immediately. You two have to leave here quickly. No buts. If I still see you two here, then I will have to kill you both. Understand?"

The dragon turned and walked towards the cave."

"Okay, we'll go right away. We will go now." Blacky shouted very loudly, hoping Freddy heard him. Freddy, who heard Blacky's voice faintly, immediately gave a code by hitting one of the cave stalactites beside him repeatedly in a certain pattern over and over again. The sound of the cave stalactites is very loud and echoes throughout the cave. Adam heard it and rushed out, his eyes watching for the dragon to appear.

The dragon entered the mouth of the cave and was surprised to hear the remaining echo. The dragon immediately rushed towards the place where the wind control ring was stored. The black bear only trembled behind a rock when the dragon passed by its hiding place. Hearing the sound of the dragon's hooves running, Adam hid behind a stalagmite. Adam thought that the dragon must be heading for the ring's hiding place. Adam carefully followed where the dragon was headed. Until finally, the dragon stopped at the end of the cave. A cave room that he had explored earlier. There's nothing there. The dragon looked relieved. He turned around. His sense of smell detects the presence of unknown creatures. He didn't know what the smell was, but it was very unknown to him. He knew the smell of almost every type of animal on the island. But this one is different.

Adam curled up behind a large rock. But dragons' sense of smell is quite sharp. He followed the direction of the smell and finally found Adam's location. Adam, who had been caught, could only grimace.

"Insolent! What creature are you? How did you get in here?" asked the dragon in a loud voice.

"Wait a minute. Let me explain. This isn't what you think."

Bugh!

One very hard blow hit Adam's left shoulder. Adam fell and hit the cave wall. Whoosh... Duar...

The dragon's tail attack flew towards Adam again. But this time Adam reflexively avoided it, and the dragon's tail hit the cave wall. Some rocks collapsed due to vibrations on the cave walls. Adam felt excruciating pain in his shoulder. Maybe there are broken bones or loose joints. His left hand could not be moved.

Grroaaarrrrr...

Whuuuuush....

The dragon spat fire from its mouth at Adam. This time, Adam couldn't avoid it and was forced to face it. Subconsciously, his right hand held the seal in his left hand. His eyes closed, leaving everything to fate. Adam felt extraordinary heat throughout his body. He felt like he was burning badly. His clothes were burned, but not his skin. Now Adam is completely naked, without any clothes. He didn't die. His skin was only black, as if burned. But the skin didn't blister at all.

The dragon was amazed. Adam was also surprised. He did feel the heat, but it didn't damage his skin. The dragon repeated its attack. Adam still remained unharmed. When the dragon wanted to repeat its outburst suddenly...

Dang!

A stone hit its nose. The dragon was shocked and canceled its burst.

"Stop it! It's hot, you know. Listen to my explanation first." Adam said it angrily.

The dragon stopped attacking and listened to Adam's explanation.

"My name is Adam. I am human. Maybe you have never seen my kind. I come from outside of this island. I came here to look for something. A wind control ring."

Rrooaaaarrrrr...

The dragon became angry again and prepared to attack Adam.

"Wow, wow, wow, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't get emotional yet. Why are you angry? Everything can be discussed, right?"

"How dare you come here and say that you want to take the ring? Do you really want to die?."

"That's why we have to talk about this. I have my reasons. You also have your reasons. Why don't we talk about this first?"

"You probably don't know that this ring is the bringer of disaster. If this ring falls into the hands of the wrong person, then a major disaster will happen to this world. I was assigned to guard it so that it doesn't fall into the hands of the wrong person."

"What kind of disaster is that? And who assigned you to guard the ring?"

"You don't need to know who assigned me. But what is clear is that I have witnessed the disaster caused by that ring."

"I can understand how big your responsibility is for the ring. You are burdened with a very heavy task. For this, you are willing to be alone and hated by all creatures. Is your sacrifice worth enough? Are they grateful to you for all your sacrifices? Do they know that you sacrifice yourself for them? No. They will never know unless you tell them. You think you are so meritorious, but they think you are just an evil and arrogant dragon. That's why you should talk."
