The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian
Chapter 35: Shouldn’t Be
Crystal’s POV
“Who are you people! Are you here to kill us too?! Then you should kill me first before you can kill my child!”
I spit out the dust that went inside my mouth when I flew away. This demon’s power is powerful.
As I raised my head, I was met with a pair of resentful dark brown eyes. I was startled and almost stumbled a few steps backwards. Fortunately, Jethro helped me in time and stabled me on the ground.
He whispered, “I think the sparrow mistook us for assassins.”
“It looks that way. Who would want to kill her?”
Jethro shook his head, and I know that as well.
I dusted my clothes and put back the map inside the pocket of my clothes, slowly approaching the angered sparrow. All her feat
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 36: Gorrum and the OlmaCrystal’s POV Before entering the gates, Draven gave us a masking spell that would hide our smell from the orcs. Although they are known to be affectionate towards other creatures, they don’t have the same reaction towards immortals like us.Since orcs don’t have the ability to shapeshift and stay in their true form, almost all of the immortals despise them for their outward appearance. That is why orcs don’t feel that close to others. They like other animals more and treat them better.If they knew that immortals like us entered their sacred village, they’d surely be angry and attack us.Seeing this village for myself, I realized that the things I learned from reading recorded history in books aren’t accurate at
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 37: AgitatedThird Person’s POV The crunch of dried branches and grass echoed from the silent forest. The soldier orcs went to find the source of the sound but when they got to the place, they only found a rabbit munching on a carrot.“It’s just a rabbit,” one of the men sighed, squatting down and patting the rabbit on its head.The rabbit liked his touch and rubbed its head against his palm. Their captain saw the rabbit and eventually softened his expression. He took the rabbit from the ground and lifted it up to his chest.There was a smile on his face as he went back down and told the other soldiers to look for Gorrum. It was only a false alarm and they thought that it was an enemy.Right behind a tree where they found the r
The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian Chapter 38: A First-Time Clown Crystal’s POV I could only see the darkness in front of me. I tried waving my arms in the air, but I couldn’t. It feels like a heavy weight was put on my entire body, making me unable to move. I tried blinking my eyes, but nothing happened. I tried moving my feet against the cold floor, and it seems like I am finally moving. But it doesn’t quite feel right. There were small thorns under my feet, and I could feel them slowly prickling me. However, I don’t feel hurt or pained at all. It feels quite comfortable. What is this place? Where am I? [Crystal… Crystal…] I could hear a cool voice coming from a distance. I don’t know where it was coming from, nor do I know where I should go. I followed the voice blind with directions. I kept following that voice until I saw the faint light coming from in front of me. I ran and ran and ran, trying to get to the light but it only exhausted me. I slumped on the ground, having tired
The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian Chapter 39: For Love Third Person’s POV The trio – Oliver, Jethro and Draven – left as soon as they finished eating. On their way though, they met the group of orc soldiers looking for the orc named Gorrum again. The one they called Captain standing in the middle approached Oliver, looking at him up and down. “Hmm… are you new here? The three of you are unfamiliar to me.” “Sir, we are only here to gather some herbs. We heard that this mountain has many herbs useful for cultivation.” The Captain raised his eyebrow, “What herb are you looking for? Those you see in dramas are fake though.” Oliver smiled and shook his head, “We are looking for the Thousand-Year Heart Foundation Mountain Water Dew Buried Ginseng.” The Captain furrowed his eyebrows, “The Thousand- what?” Oliver repeated, “Thousand-Year Heart Foundation Mountain Water Dew Buried Ginseng.” “…” Draven and Jethro looked sideways at Oliver, their eyes both expressing confusion like the Capt
The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian Chapter 40: For Her Third Person’s POV Gorrum evidently froze on his position, but his eyes never wavered as they stared at Oliver’s pair of brown eyes. There was persistence and determination to not back down no matter what happened. Gorrum’s hand balled into tight fists and grinding his molars. He took the cup in front of him, and it broke in his hands. The pieces of the ceramic glass fell helplessly on the floor, as if mimicking how his heart broke thinking of his daughter’s condition. However, the secret he held in his heart was something that shouldn’t see the light of the day, or else his whole family would die. ‘But what if…’ he looked at the three men looking back at him, ‘what if these three men could help me? What if the Thousand-Year Heart Foundation Mountain Water Dew Buried Ginseng was really the cure for my daughter?’ His worries were as much as his huge size. Gorrum closed his eyes for a moment, “If I tell you who I heard this from, ca
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 41: Not Good! Oliver’s POV “You’re really amazing, Oliver! You managed to make Gorrum tell us the truth.”“That’s not what’s important right now. We need to return as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling.”Jethro tilted his head, “Like what?”I didn’t answer and instead quickened my steps.Ever since we met the group of orc soldiers and Gorrum, I kept on having this ominous feeling inside my heart. For some reason, I feel restless. On any other ordinary days, I wouldn’t be feeling this way. But I wonder why today.I thought back to Gorrum and his wife. Even though they never had it easy with their daughter, they still stayed together. Each one of them was unwilling to leave the other. What was their secret in staying together for a long time.The more I think about it, the quicker my steps become. It wasn’t because I wanted to see a certain someone as soon as possible, but something was pulling me like a magnet to that direction.Suddenly, Drave
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 42: Saying Something Oliver’s POV“In three days, we will find you the cure to your king.”In an instant, the expression on the Captain’s eyes changed. It seemed like I had the right guess.“How presumptuous!”It was late when I noticed that he took a big rock in his hands and threw it in our direction. I grabbed Crystal’s shoulders and swiftly turned to the side. When the rock fell on the ground, the dust flew everywhere and some of it got into my eyes.Crystal’s small hands helped me remove them and when I opened my eyes, the first thing that I saw was her pair of worried eyes. I wanted to stare at them a little longer, but another rock flew to us.I peeled away my eyes from her and turned my head to the Captain. It seemed like it would be a little difficult to persuade him. Then the more reason I should do this.In the first place, the fire cannot harm me and Lumara at all. In any case, I only need to safely take my teammates out first. If not,
The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian Chapter 43: As Human, or as Dragon King? Crystal’s POV The hut was just as what we expected when we first came here. There was the strong scent of medicine wafting in the air. Oliver told us while walking that Gorrum indeed had a sickly daughter, and he used olma that was said to treat any diseases. “But his daughter’s condition was suspicious. Think about it. She suddenly fell sick with a perfectly healthy body, and Gorrum coincidentally met that peddler.” Snow cracked a melon seed and handed it to me and Nayara. Lumara was helping the men cooking our food. I wanted to help, but they all stopped me. So I had no choice but to sit down and think of how we could find the cure for the king, and about Gorrum. “We all know that devils live among humans. That peddler must be one of them,” Nayara said. I nodded my head, “If he’s under the disguise of a peddler, then we can find him by the city walls. It’s also possible that he’s at the mouth of the forest,
