**The Hero Warrior, Fighter of the Unknown – Episode 06**
**Gateway to the Unknown**
**Scene 50 – "Heart of the Galaxy, Dark Clouds Planet" – "Outside the Walls of Nodia Kingdom"**
*Ray Raad always goes out, forming his shield and carrying his weapon, to take a walk at sunrise, and sometimes at night. Nodpark knew that he always visits a beautiful meadow filled with purple flowers and deer… yes, even butterflies.*
*Note that flowers, butterflies, or any other charming creatures cannot survive on the Dark Clouds Planet because it is dangerous, and they would die instantly—unless they exist within a protected area like Nodia Kingdom or the Kingdom of Thunder.*
*The presence of such a wonderfully beautiful place here, unprotected, with flowers that the planet's toxins have not killed, amazed Ray Raad. He loved the place and started visiting it often.*
*As previously mentioned, his master monitored him and noticed that Ray Raad protects the meadow's deer from monsters trying to prey on them.*
*Nodpark spoke to himself while looking at the beautiful meadow:*
*"The lush garden… its flowers feed their roots from the continuous lies one tells oneself… and they quickly collapse when their roots are destroyed, and the earth dies."*
*"Does this mean it's a false beauty reflecting something evil? A manifestation of someone lying to themselves?"*
*When Ray Raad returned to the castle and opened the main chamber door, on his first step inside, he collided with Master Nodpark, who had been waiting impatiently, his eyes radiating intense anger.*
*Ray Raad lifted his head and smiled, but he was immediately struck by a fast, powerful punch from Nodpark, sending him flying backward.*
*While Nodpark continued striking his student, he said:*
*"Do not smile… do not smile."*
*He struck him for a long time, then drew his sword, the Mist Sword, almost finishing his student. But just as the sword was about to pierce the boy's forehead, Nodpark stopped, closed his eyes, expressing deep sorrow, and then headed to his sitting room.*
*What could be the reason for all this anger…?*
