After re-treating their injuries, they started to walk. When they approached, they became silent. Everywhere there was blood and the dead bodies of soldiers, hanging and lying.

  Nile’s eyes darkened in horror.

  When Noa was going to take her first step, Nile grabbed her arm.

  “Where are you going? Can’t you see this?”

  Noa tried to free her arm. Nile tightened his grip on her arm.

  “We are not going. I can’t lose you. I can’t lose my only family member.”

  Suddenly, they heard a sound of coughing. They saw a soldier who was still alive. They rushed to him and helped him sit properly.

  “Are you okay?” Nile said.

  The soldier nodded weakly. Noa and Nile bound his injuries, then helped him to walk.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Finally, they approached a small village. The villagers helped them take care of the soldier and started to treat him.

  Nile asked a person, “Have you ever seen any kind of creatures that look like humans but are very strong?”

  The person became shocked at his description.

  “Are you talking about Nickmans?”

  Nile rolled his eyes hearing the name “Nickmans.”

  “What’s that?”

  The person, an old man, cleared his throat.

  “It’s a long story. About 100 years ago, dangerous humans named Nickmans suddenly appeared. They started to destroy the country. But then two brave warriors fought with them bravely. They were called Dragon Masters.”

  Nile curiously listened to the story.

  “And then?”

  “And those Nickmans were disappearing. But 14 years ago, those Nickmans again tried to collapse everything.”

  “And then? The Dragon Masters weren’t alive, weren’t they?”

  “Yes. But then new Dragon Masters fought with them. But unfortunately—”

  “Unfortunately? What?”

  “They died.”

  Nile’s eyes darkened, this time with something about his own.

  “Hey, are you okay?”

  “I’m fine.”

  “And I think we need new Dragon Masters to stop them. But who are they?”

  “But I have a question. Who are called Dragon Masters?”

  “Dragon Masters are those soldiers who had the power of two powerful dragons: the King of Dragons and the Great Ice Dragon.”

  Nile stood up and stretched his clothes.

  “Thanks for the information. But now I have to go.”
