"The 11th dragon warrior is never meant to be born…" the black suit boy calmly reading the story, Miya not making any sound only listening story behind the tree.
Looking at the boy, holding book sad eyes, but a pleasant aura covering him.
He continues the story. "Their meant to be only 10 Dragon warriors in a world, however, the boy became 11th dragon warrior because the purity in his soul, the clan of 10th dragon warrior are shocked, not believing as he leaves his physical body."
Miya shocked as she feels the same way 15 years ago, she sat behind tree not making any noise. As the boy read last line.
"Are you happy now. GOD asked 11th dragon warrior who's crying in his arms. He finally meets his end, entering on of the 2 spiritual realms free from cycle of death."
'Close book'
'sigh'
The boy smile looks at the rising moon, mumbled. "Do you really think this, story is true." He smiles, feeling the cool breeze and the scent of flowers around him.
Miya behind the tree still there but she crying, covering her mouth remembering her childhood friend. She thought ("are you really Leon?")
She stands gathering courage herself, the night start taking place the sound of wind, smell of flower gives pleasant feeling.
"uhh…hey?" she goes infront of tree finding the boy is sleeping, she shouts a bit. "HELLO." The boy awakes, at first, he didn't look at Miya, slowly open his eyes.
"Hello sir...?" Miya spoke but he didn't respond, as he saying don't disturbed me.
"Hello, I'm Miya…can I ask your name?" the boy shock to see her. He didn't say anything for 30 sec waiting to Miya reaction. "Hello?" she whispers again, worried face, shaking hand.
'stand'
"Hi, my name is Hyce." His face expressing is calm, looking as he not expecting her.
Miya get sad hearing his name, she thought she finally meet her friend, she thought. ("he is not leon…").
'bow'
She bows apologize to Hyce, saying. "I'm sorry to disturb you sir, I thought you are my friend."
Hyce not anger, not showing any expression, stand tall looking Miya. He whispers "it's okay, you can go."
"Thank you." Miya start walking back, sad face, but before she goes Hyce ask something to her.
"Hey, what is your friend's name?"
Miya turn and spoke. "Oh- it's Leon." Miya goes back home. Disappointed.
On other side Hyce froze, don't believing himself touching his cheek, whispering under breath "Miya?"
Hyce then whisper. "We finally meet but." He looks at his both palm, sad tears start showing, fall into ground, look at moon from the trees leaves. "Why now, why Miya. I can't meet you now."
Hyce is sad, not believing Miya saw him again. He closes his eyes falling into sleep.
Meanwhile Miya, slowly walking toward home, sad. Whispering under breath. "I thought we finally meet, I still remember your voice, Leon." Leon voice was warm and comfortably.
However, Hyce voice was cooled chilled. As he not wants Miya to get close to him, walking under the moon light, like she walked many times with Leon when they were kids.
Remembering the moment. in Miya mind she sees.
Young Leon and young Miya, holding hands walk back home at evening, smiling little mud on face.
Young Miya asked Leon. "Hey leon, After Duke parents die, what he did then?" Leon smile, answering Miya.
"After his Parents die, he inheritance their land and everything and gain the title of. Youngest northerner duke. But he is not happy."
'excited'
Miya ask again, her eyes shining. Leon giggles and answer. "I tell you tomorrow, let's go home for now."
They both then go their home.
Present.
Miya walking at same path, but this time she alone.
After sometime she finally reached her home, however on the gate her mom waiting for her, ready to scold Miya coming home this late.
Miya enter her home and a wave of scold reach to her, her mom scolding her coming home this late, after scolding she check her, if she ok.
She saw tears in eyes; her mom gets worried thinking she scold Miya too much.
'hug'
"Sorry Miya, but you should at least give me a call, you know how much I worried." Her mom sharp voice turns into sweety and worried, she said a bit because she thought Miya crying because of her.
Miya smile to show she is okay. Her mom gets a relief, kissing her forehead saying. "Go and get fresh, dinner is almost ready sweetie." Miya put a smile on her face, whisper. "Ok mom."
Her mom go into kitchen preparing for dinner, her dad was in hall watching tv.
Miya go upstairs into her room. Take out her Novels from bag and adjust them on shelf, placing her phone on study table.
Looking at the photo of Leon, she starts remembering Hyce. She mumbled. "Their voice is so similar."
Miya go into washroom and then bathroom, after 30 min she come out wearing night dress goes into dining room, her dad still watching news and mom almost done with dinner.
On the tv there was a news about a gang who get encountered by police, her dad smile shouting. "That should happen to them, good job guys." Her dad was also in police.
He is happy to see the gang finished now, Miya smiling at him but deep inside her heart sad.
We see Hyce laying on ground, sad face, but after a second, he smiles as if his wish come true.
He stands up and puts one hand on tree, whispering.
"Thank you, sir."
The wind around him feels more and more pleasant, the moon ray feels like a blessing.
But deep inside he also sad, as if he knows he can't do anything other than watch.
