- Episode 2
There was no church in the village where the man lived. The papal palace is a building built in the capital of the emperor. The common people cannot even rub the hem of the Vatican priests' robes.
'After all, this place was haunted by ghosts!'
The man patted his knee and frowned. He was the convincing one that he wasn't crazy. The man smiled broadly, not knowing that the baby in his arms was looking at him with his gentle eyes raised.
"So, why did the priests come?"
"This mountain is cursed."
Boom, the smiling man's expression slowly hardened. The chatty onlookers whispered in low tones into the couple's frozen ears.
"A dragon's treasure fell from the sky, creating a pit this big."
"Dragon?"
"Dragon horse."
The wife's terrified gaze turned to the baby in her husband's arms.
"Dragons have been said to be representatives of God since ancient times. Although they had disappeared hundreds of years ago, there was a revelation that finally they could find traces of them, so there was a lot of uproar in the Vatican."
"But there is a shaman who killed the dragon guardian and stole the treasure."
There was a mixture of clicks and sighs among the bystanders.
"tt. The liver is too big, to steal the dragon's treasure. You deserve to be punished."
"Probably, once the identity of the person is revealed, his life will not be left behind."
"You mean? Perhaps the imperial court will kill him before the dragon becomes furious. Ten lives will not be enough."
The couple went down the mountain in a hurry to avoid people's eyes on that road. Not knowing what spirit they had returned home, they looked at each other and trembled.
I couldn't leave the baby.
can't kill
If you harmlessly harmed the dragon's treasure, you would be punished, and if you returned it and took it to the priests, it was obvious that your entire family would be executed as a treason.
"Hey, what should I do now..."
"Dad?"
"Terriot."
Her 15-month-old sister and her eldest son, Terriott, who had remained at home alone, were looking at them with sullen eyes.
The couple looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Come on, sweetheart. It's your new brother."
"Brother?"
"Yeah. Younger than Rosette."
"really?"
"Come closer."
At the call of his parents, Teriot let go of Rosette's sleeping hand and walked over.
The baby, who had been held like a small doll, turned around. Terry Ott, whose eyes met the starry eyes of the night sky, opened her mouth.
"name is?"
"name?"
"Name, what do you call it?"
"Ah, umm, so that's the name."
As the couple stuttered, Terriot touched the baby's hair in admiration.
"Wow, that's amazing! It's black and shiny."
In the meantime, Terriott saw the baby's face for the first time that day, as his parents had raised their voices and kept them away.
Hearing his son's admiration, the man involuntarily opened his mouth.
"Estio."
"Why do we have different names? Me and Rosette end in 't'."
Terriotte murmured, and the baby in the man's arms smirked. It was as if they knew my name.
Estello,
Starlight met in the dark.
That became the baby's name.
Chapter 10 Nothing
"......what's this."
The dream was still going on right before my eyes. It was like watching a well crafted play.
The party, who had been standing blankly like the audience of a play, watching the fast-paced scene, came to their senses one by one.
Contrary to the innocent expression of the young Teriot in her dreams, the grown-up Terriot held her father's arm with a wrinkled expression.
"What the hell is this, Dad?"
"My God, my God."
The village chief of Selvia, who was brought in by accident, was busy lamenting as he searched for a god he had never been looking for.
Hopefully, the couple's faces, which they didn't know would reveal the truth they had been hiding in front of everyone's eyes, looked as if they had seen a ghost.
As Teriot used evil, he summoned the two of them.
"Father! Mother! What the hell is that child!"
"MI......."
Instead of the mother avoiding the gaze, the children's father opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry, Estio. I'm really, really sorry."
"......"
"Forgive me! I really didn't know. No, I still don't really know. Who you are."
dump.
Looking at the kneeling father, Terriot clenched his teeth, and Estio did not respond. The old man apologized as he looked up at his dark blue eyes, who were still staring at scenes in his dreams without even giving him a glance.
"I couldn't let my whole family die. It wasn't that I resented or hated you either. As a head of the family, as a father...!"
Ugly tears warmed his cheeks. Estio then turned his head to look at the man who was his 'father'.
"I was just trying to protect all of you. The more you are exposed, the more dangerous everyone becomes."
"......"
"I wanted to protect you too. I wanted to consider you, who is growing up normally like other children after making a name, as my real child. By the way!"
The color of the child's eyes changed in an instant. The little baby copied his wife's blue eyes like a chameleon before people noticed. From her original eyes, which shone with a mysterious golden light, to a dark blue color resembling a woman.
"You weren't ordinary. You were just imitating ordinary people."
Human language, human emotion, and even human growth rate.
The child's growth slowed down after living in an attic and not meeting boys and girls of his age.
Since it was impossible to know the standard of what was 'normal', Estio stood still alone.
Even when I couldn't meet people, even when I was starving, even when I fell asleep in the freezing cold.
The next day, the parents were terrified to see the child waking up and walking around.
"Forgive me. I was wrong."
"......"
The child chose to remain silent until the very end, with the 'father' accusing him of wrongdoing only when everything was revealed in front of his eyes. The fact that even that apology was ultimately subservient to save the real family also naturally flowed into my mind.
'It would be better if I didn't even have to read this.'
Estio muttered to himself blankly.
"Estio......"
Neju was anxious and called him, and Estio raised his hand. Then he slammed into the air with his fist, as if hitting the wall.
Take it!
The dream that showed me the past was shattered and shattered. According to his will, the ability stopped being activated.
Upon waking up from the dream, everyone returned to reality. It was pouring rain outside, and water was still leaking from the roof of the village chief's old house. Dry beans were bouncing around the refreshments that Mubin had knocked over with her feet.
The village chief, who had been spread out over the big tree, got up and looked at his eyes.
Estio was still standing there with a posture that hit the air. The village chief swallowed dry saliva with a nervous feeling that his clenched fists seemed to be pointing at someone this time.
Only Rosette, who had fainted without being invited in her dream, tossed and turned alone and let out a comfortable breathing sound.
After a while, the silence was broken and Estio moved.
The first thing he did was turn his back on his father, who was ugly at his feet.
Startle.
Teriot, who noticed footsteps getting closer to him, flopped in place like a fish out of the water.
"Lord... are you going to kill me?"
There was no emotion in the dark blue eyes, but it was more frightening from the point of view of the person facing each other. She is cold without a single heart. The person he ignored so much wasn't really human.
'It's not just that I'm not human, it's a whopping......'
When he thought of the word "dragon" he had heard in his dream, he felt dizzy as if blood had drained from his entire body with his fingertips.
"I, I'm still your older brother, am I your older brother?"
Terriotte appealed to Jeong, completely forgetting about who she had been chasing before about who was your older brother. The dark blue eyes fluttering like the deep sea seemed to swallow him up at any moment.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong. I was wrong, so please help me!"
It was so easy.
They were such weak people.
Estio paused in front of Terriot for a moment. The apples they thought they would never hear in their lives were flowing out of their mouths.
It was a lot easier and simpler than he thought, throwing the chains around my neck off.
Just like Neju, who is now following him, can tear the chain around his neck like a piece of tissue paper if he makes up his mind.
'It's useless.'
I didn't even know what to do anyway, so I just got frustrated.
He passed the cold, settling gaze indifferently as if brushing the last time in front of Terriot. He was soaked in the rain and smelled like piss on the damp air.
The wooden door, even without a proper lock, opened with a rattling sound when pushed hard.
Outside, it was still pouring heavy rain. Without hesitation, he proceeded into the rain. As Estio left the village chief's house, the party who made him the focal point followed immediately.
The cat, Tsuki, daringly walked by his side despite the rain, and Parker followed him one step behind him, with his wet wings drooping. Neju, who was walking alongside Parker, protected the cactus by bending her back to keep it from raining.
And Moobin Heiga, who made the last request, followed slowly from the back of the group.
"......"
Moobin stared intently at the back of Estio, who was going ahead. Although his vision was obscured by the pouring rain and the gray fog, he was able to see with astonishing clarity as a dark-haired young man with the enhanced physical abilities unique to the family.
The purpose of coming to the village of Selvia has already been accomplished. Now, as Moobin, there was no reason to stop Estio wherever he went or whatever he did.
When no one stopped him, Estio ran and climbed the mountain following the path he had seen in his dream.
It passed between wet grass leaves and freshly bloomed wild flowers, and over slippery rocks covered with strong tree trunks and moss.
And the end of the mountain road that has passed without a mind.
Instead of a huge pit, there was a pond.
'The pit filled with water and became a pond.'
It has been nearly 20 years since the person who served as Estio's father stole the dragon's treasure. 20 years is enough time for trees to grow and water to fill the empty land.
He stood far away in front of the pond.
Raindrops fell on the water surface, causing constant ripples. Another drop of water fell on the stagnant water, and the sound was as strong as a raging wave.
I remembered a mysterious beast resembling a deer and a wolf I had seen in the man's past. There was no trace of the animal that threw itself away to protect its owner until the moment of death. obviously.
I've never actually seen it, so I didn't miss it, but I was a little curious.
'What was your name?'
