Suna
I could hear Clairmont’s panting close to the side of my ears. The two of us stayed in our position for some time, silently hugging and being hugged, while I assessed the situation that just happened to me.
The dragon had now completely stopped its walking towards us, and was closing an opening surrounded by huge pointy rocks that could snap a building into half, presumably its mouth. Smokes could be seen escaping the corners of its mouth as its blazing orange eyes darted everywhere, probably looking for us. The ground below our original spot was charred and in fire.
Eh?
Don’t tell me the dragon just breathe fire on us?
“Are you alright?” Clairmont pulled away from me and scanned my face. I was thankful for his concern, but what the dragon just did weights heavier on my mind.
“Did it just... almost kill us?” I shifted my gaze to peek at his face. My heart is picking up its pace, but I didn’t kno
SunaDeath, an irreversible process where all three main systems of life, namely the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and nervous system, ceased to function. Can be classified into two types, somatic death and cell death.So which category did the dragon falls into?“Dead?” I raised an eyebrow. I’m very sorry to break this serious and sad moment even, but are we talking about literal death here?“Do you mean, literally dead?”I saw Clairmont’s expression softened a bit. That mysteriously made me glad that he didn’t show his solemn expression anymore.“Yes, dead. Literally.” He answered. His forehead wasn’t attached to the dragon’s skin anymore, but he kept one hand rubbing on its surface.He then added. “But its body were unable to return to the world and is being controlled by some force.” Clairmont pulled away his face from the dragon and turned
Suna“I’m hungry.” Clairmont was sitting on the ground, legs crossed, as he looked at me walking closer to him.“Huh?” I grimaced. “What do you want me to do about it?”Clairmont shrugged. “Well, cook, I guess?”I narrowed my eyes at him, while also contemplating. We should be returning to Rustaval right now and tell the people that the dragon is no longer there to destroy the country. To add, I also wanted to quickly check on the description the system just gave me earlier. It seemed to be very important, especially when the novel still hadn’t reached its ending.Despite that, now that Clairmont had mentioned it, I too felt this churning sensation of my stomach being empty. It’s already evening, and we’ve long since missed our lunch. It probably won’t hurt in having a meal before we return to Rustaval. And the system won’t just run away like that.I op
SunaPhew, my body is in pain. I was punching my shoulders while sitting on the bed, and letting out groans like I’m an old woman.“Aigoo…” I remarked. I don’t really know the meaning, but I saw a lot of Korean aunties say that when they’re on the verge of complaining, or when they’re sad or something.They literally said that in almost any occasion.Still, I didn’t know that using so much Mana could hurt me physically, but apparently, they could.I grimaced at my status window. I was using a lot of my Mana that that seven figure Mana reserve I had in my body was halved in a single day. As for Clairmont, he was literally defeated and was sprawling across the bed in front of me, with his limbs stretched like a starfish.I could hear his soft groan.“Hey…” I ushered in, while massaging my aching arm. “Are you okay?”Clairmont slowly opened his eyes. F
SunaA metallic fumbling resonated in the morning air, before I pushed the two-leaf balcony door outwards, revealing the gentle and dim morning ambience. The sun is barely up in the horizon, and although this street which houses noblemen and noblewomen weren’t usually as lively as the middle-class streets, they were especially quiet as the break of dawn.I like this ambience. I like how I am able to wake up earlier than most people, and enjoyed the serenity the morning blessed me.As I retracted away from the balcony window, I resumed on braiding my half-done hair while walking across the room to fetch a table. This morning’s menu is going to smell a bit smoky, so I better cook as close to the window as possible.While I crossed the bed, I saw Clairmont, who was lying flat on the bed, had already opened his eyes and was staring at the ceiling.“You’re up? Good morning.” My head turned briefly to Clairmont before return
Suna“Oh heroes!” Elfina yelped, while acting like she just saw the love of her life. Both me and Clairmont had just arrived from the hotel by scrambling our way to the palace. If you read the previous chapter, you’ll know the reason why.I was looking behind me towards the entrance of the throne room. Who knows there might be any other person besides us being called in here that makes Elfina dramatically act like that. But no, there’s no one. The guards have all changed though, which is a good thing.“Did you guys get a good rest?” Elfina trotted closer in a quick pace, before pulling both of my hands up to her chest. Both of her green eyes were sparkling. I was sure the last time I checked, Elfina wasn’t this dramatic. Or was it just me?“I’m…” My eyes rotated between Elfina and Clairmont. “I’m good, I guess?”“How about you, master Clairmont?”
Kingdom of Rustaval is in celebration. With the side of the pavement road decorated in glowing and colourful orb-like flowers, the people of Rustaval, elves and other races alike, left their homes to go to the palace to join in on that occasion.A huge and spacious hall was used to house almost all the populace of the central elven kingdom; hence the celebration was pretty grand.In the midst of the bustling hall filled with chattering and laughter, at the most isolated balcony near the end of the throne chair, Suna was staring blankly at the moon. Her light bluish ashen platinum hair, which was styled to freely hung on her back, is flowing softly upon being blown by the wind. The young girl looked concerned for something.“You aren’t going to eat something?” A figure hover behind her, while casually holding a conversation with her.Suna turned around to see Clairmont walking towards her; one hand holding a considerably big plate laden w
SunaThere should be a dramatic song playing in the background. There should. Well, at least that’s what I imagined when I read the scene when Minerva met Carter.But no. There’s nothing. Only the sound of the wind, I guess? And some mumbling of the people inside the carriage that we rode which didn’t leave yet.I bet I probably looked way stupid now. With my jaw hung loose above my chest, my eyes were fixed on the figure of Carter; both malnourished and hurt.Wasn’t Minerva supposed to save him? Where is she?“I appreciate that astounded look of yours, but don’t you think we should do something with him first? Healing him or something?” Clairmont’s nonchalant tone managed to break me out of my stupor.“You’re…” I fluttered my eyes for a moment, trying to pick the sanity that left me a few minutes ago. “You’re right. But I don’t know how to heal-&rdquo
SunaI can tell from that look on his face that he is wary of us. Yet what is that strange look he tossed to Clairmont?I passed my gaze between Clairmont and Carter before I said, “Are you-”GGRRRRR…..The three of us paused.Clairmont’s expression showed a hint of pure confusion after that. I don’t know if it was an acting or not. “…I don’t think my radar picked up any monster nearby.” He then turned to look at me.Okay, so that wasn’t an acting. Your innocence is kind of cute right now, Clairmont, no lie. But we all know what that sound was. And given the situation, I think I know why Carter gave Clairmont that hungry look.Emphasize on the ‘hungry’, please.Another growl resounded. I was pretty convinced in that very moment that Carter was in fact, hungry.“Uhm…” My gaze faltered between Clairmont, who nonchalantly had begun
(TMI! It’s TMI I tell you!)(Suna’s POV)It was almost night time when we returned to Varain. I wasn’t as tired as when I fought the earth dragon, but it did feel pretty tiring answering question about how me and Clairmont managed to defeat the entire population of goblins in a single day, when we arrived at the adventurer’s guild to submit our quest.“Their interrogation reminded me again of why I hate mingling with lesser races.” Clairmont commented, while he enjoyed some tea that I brewed.“Uhm, I too am a lesser race, you know?” Carter, who was daydreaming by himself, suddenly answered.His reply earned a chuckle from me and a grimace from Clairmont.“Clairmont, that’s not a nice thing to say. You will hurt someone if you say that to their faces.” And let’s not forget, I was a human before I became a dragon too. But fair enough, I too felt like the amou
(That's the main character alright)(Suna’s POV)“Thank you so much for saving us!” While I hover about the ground and slowly landed on its earthly surface, I saw Minerva walking towards me. There was this wide smile that she showed us, looking particularly glad and satisfied, that it showed a glint in her mesmerizing crimson eyes.She shot a smile between me and Clairmont, before continuing her unending praise. “The two of you are amazing earlier. I don’t know what will happen if you guys didn’t come.” Minerva said. Her cheekbones that align well with her face structure, making them look full but not too plump, was blushed with a soft red hue. She was blushing, and I felt like I would too, if she looked at me like that.All I could do was sheepishly giggle, a habit my body couldn’t help but do when I feel awkward, while Clairmont—who stood by my side—was throwing his eyes out
(A fan meeting yeay!)(Suna’s POV)[Several minutes earlier…]“I’m hungry.”My eyes deadpanned him. “Are you seriously hungry right now? We are on an emergency mission to save Carter, you know?”“Well, but I can’t do anything if I’m hungry, okay? Don’t you have any snacks that you can buy from your skill? Like an ice cream or something?” He whined.I grimaced at him. “I see what you’re on about. You’re trying to coax me into buying you an ice cream, huh? I won’t buy anything until we save Carter-!”GGRRROOOWLLL….The surroundings went silent.Clairmont bashfully pursed his lips and rubbed his belly. “…I told you I’m hungry.”His statement won another grimace from me, because I didn’t expect for him to be honest. He’s usually either sly, or strange. But he
(Saviour) Carter The hammering in his chest rendered his fingers to tremble, while also numbing his senses towards the surroundings. The people’s chattering, the slightly chilly atmosphere, and even the bright sun seemed to cancel out in the presence of this unknown girl. What is this? Why was he feeling this way? “Tell me, who are you?” The female stopped chatting with what Carter presume her teammates, and turned to look at him with a thin smile on her rosy lips. The wind was gently blowing against them, making the side bangs that framed her face flowed softly. Carter felt choked of his own words, and looked down in embarrassment. The toned-down atmosphere became even quiet. “My name is Minerva, Minerva Lyle Williams.” She rested her hands on her hips, and widened her smile. “Now that I’ve introduced myself, might as well give me your name.” Carter instantly froze. The hammering against his chest didn’t seem like it will stop soon, and for some reason, he was feeling pretty b
(The end. Yeah right.)(Suna’s POV)In an instant, the two of us stayed still, patiently checking Carter.“…He really is walking away from us.” I repeated, while turning behind my shoulders to look at Clairmont. The glinting hue of deep gold in his eyes indicated the activation of his power, and by his nodding, he seemed to feel the same.I returned my focus to my radar. The Carter in my radar looked more like a circular dot tinted in light green, meaning that he’s an ally. Otherwise, all the dots in my radar, which represents other existence, is either white, for neutral creep or weak enemy, or red, representing an existence of severe hostility.For the time being, I zoomed in my radar to see Carter up close. His dot turned into the close-up view of him walking through the forest, like a CCTV camera or something. His transcend through the forest looked unstable. Like he was walking without a destination
(Upheaval)CarterWhile the ground shook every once in a while, and loud and shrill shrieks could be heard filling the forest, Carter was anxiously scanning his surroundings. It all started when Suna told him via telepathy that she would be sending something in his way. But the problem was, he missed the chance to ask what it really was. He remembered guessing whether it was an enemy or not, but she just told him not to worry.Which made him even frantic.Carter is in no way prominent in fighting, nor even guarding, so he was sure that this wasn’t a great idea, for whatever thing one of his benefactors asked to keep an eye on. However, he was also not that prominent in magic to be able to bridge a telepathic communication with Suna to respond to her.For the countless amount of time, Carter swallowed nervously. He was starting to feel pain from his oesophagus, as he was swallowing only air for how wary he was towards his surroun
(A battle begun)Suna“Huh?” Carter started to panic after hearing that. “Wh-What should we do about them?”I passed my glance at Clairmont.“Do I look like that to you before?” I asked.Clairmont grimaced at me. “Well, just like that, but whinier and louder.”I shielded my face and proceeded to memetically mouthed an OH. That was a pure insult, but I have nothing to say because I can be gross sometimes.“We do nothing, obviously.” Clairmont said, replying to Carter while taking off his cloak and placing it inside his inventory. Following him, I did the same before adjusting my braid.For some reason, white tunic, black pants or skirts, and a pair of brown leather boots have become a go-to outfit for both me and Clairmont. Maybe because it’s easy to acquire them, even though I could buy a myriad of outfits from the [ONLINE SHOPPING
Repeat after me: Flick and SpankSuna“Hey, Clairmont.” I muttered to him, without giving him a glance as I etched my eyes on the chieftain’s shenanigans of opening and closing his mouth. Those armor looks heavy, especially that contraption-something protecting his neck. “I think my eyes are playing tricks with me.”Clairmont shot me a side-eye. “You’re saying?”“I am not the only one who sees her, didn’t I?” Clairmont glanced to the chieftain again. “Oh, you’re right. There is a girl beside the goblin chieftain…” His voice trailed off; shock laced his tone little by little.“Why?” His face scrunched into a puzzled frown. I don’t even know, Clairmont, so that confusion didn’t help me much.In the entire spectrum of panorama my eyes could see, this greenish and crude view in front of me is intervened by the un
SunaFrom architectural sense, Varain is quite different than Rustaval. Probably because it’s a town governed by mostly humans, I can say, it fits exactly what a stereotypical medieval town would look like. Bustling streets with a little less hygiene and livestock frolicking about, wanting to be sold, hawker yelling the freshness of their products, less magical looking adventurer guild, and…Goblins.“Ugh…” I unconsciously scowled.Now don’t get me wrong there. I don’t harbour any hostile intent towards the race people called ‘goblins’, I just deeply… despise them. You know, like when you don’t know the truth and blindly dislike someone you barely even know?Yeah, like that, netizens.Another reason why those greenskins irked me to a certain degree, was because the insurmountable amount of mangas and animes stating their notoriety. Imp-like creature that likes
