The lady and the dragon

There is an old legend that talks about a young beautiful woman in Korea that every man would fell in love with at first sight.

Even though there were so many contenders to her hand in marriage, she fell in love with the one everyone warned her about.

She ran away with him in his hometown in China where he showed to her his true self. She didn't get scared, but instead she chosed to remain by his side as the wife of the Dragon, the great protector of Asia.

She even waited for him several years to come back from war. When he arrived back he rewarded her loyalty by stopping the time for her. This way she could never grow old and die.

Their love story was something else indeed, cause it was pure and never corrupted. There was an eternal paradise for the two of them. They lived happily for decades.

Unfortunately, dragons age too. Maybe not in the same rhythm as humans, but they do.

The mighty dragon needed a successor for when he will no longer be. He explained to her how if she agrees to bear his child, he will have to make the time go again for her, so the baby can grow healthy in her womb. All these years will gather and eventually lead to her death in less then an year.

"It's ok. I stayed by your side for so long, but it was too much for a poor human like me. We, humans, are not meant to live this long for the simple reason that the longer we live, the lesser we appreciate life. Everything must come to an end. I'm just glad my end will be beside you and our child." was her answer.

She said it smiling and her husband couldn't help but cry while kissing the back of her hand.

They spent 9 months inseparable, living the little moments like they were the last ones they got. And they were.

On the 11th of August, a life was born while other was taken.

Poor Dragon mourned his wife for a year and ordered the servants to take care of his son.

After a year passed, he finally decided he needed to see his son. He raised him and loved him that he almost forgot the reason he wanted him in the first place.

The kid was the future ruler of China.

The child would sneak in his mother's room and stare at her portrait, amased by her beauty. He would also visit her grave every day and pray. She was his angel. Or at least, he believed that.
 
 

-Where is Changbin? asked Jisung receiving 5 shocked looks.

They started running through the house, checking every room.

-How could you lose a person? yelled Felix at Chan.

-He was there this morning. I don't know when he disappeared! And why the fuck are you yelling at me? Little bat got bold overnight? Just because I delayed your murder for the time we are trapped in here, doesn't mean I can't hurt you, he groaned through his clenched teeth.

Felix rolled his eyes and followed his enemy silently until he bumped into his back.

-Why did you stop? he asked confused before looking in the same direction as Chan.

He froze on the spot at the sight of Changbin.

Changbin was holding for his life, being trapped between the bricks of a wall. He couldn't move a muscle. Any vibration would cause the whole structure to crumble and to bury him alive under it. All he could do was to clenche his jaw and to breath slowly.

Felix called the others that had the exact same reaction as him when they saw Changbin.

-Oh my fucking God! That's worst that my crucification, said Jisung with his eyes opened wide in shock.
