A Red Star Rises A Red Star Rises

I'm hungry.

Weird. I can't even starve to death.

Well, I don't care about anything anymore.

I don't want to stand back up again.

I wonder how many years have passed since then.

When the people of the castle started becoming disquieted because I didn't seem to grow old,

I assigned a successor priest and left the castle.

Before leaving, I gave the dragon crest to my successor.

The King's memento.

Without King Hiryuu in the castle, that crest, that symbol of the gods,

was needed to bind people's hearts together.

But shortly after I left the castle, the crest came back to me.

Was it the will of King Hiryuu?

Or was there some reason the crest had to stay with me?

One day, while wondering the lands aimlessly, I noticed something unusual.

I still felt the presence of the dragons, even after Gu-en and the others had died.

Tracing one of those sensations, I came upon a small, inconspicuous group of people worshiping a dragon.

They were gathered around a White Dragon I didn't know.

Who goes there?!

You see him?

No, I lost him.

I'll be waiting.

No matter how many years pass.

Even if I'm an old fart by then!

I'm so dumb.

Regretting it now won't bring them back.

Darn, I broke it.

Whatever.

You're awake.

Hold on, I'll get you some food.

I'm Kaya.

I'm glad you're still alive.

You had blood on your clothes, so I thought you might be dead.

Oh, about those clothes. I washed them, and they're drying now.

I stripped you and then dressed you.

I hope you don't mind.

Sorry if that's embarrassing.

What's the matter?

The necklace...

Huh?

Where's my necklace?!

Are you talking about this?

Um, sorry for taking it off.

I wasn't trying to take it.

Here, have some food.

You must be hungry.

Eat up.

I don't want any.

You'll die if you don't eat.

I want to die.

Hey! What's wrong?!

Sorry I woke you up.

I'm fine.

That happens sometimes.

What do you mean, "This happens"?

I live alone so I don't infect other people.

Sorry for not saying anything.

I meant to send you away after you ate something.

You should leave as soon as you can.

I-It's not a good idea to touch me.

It's fine. I don't get sick.

Don't laugh! I'll lose my strength.

Am I heavy?

No, I'm just weak.

I'm sorry. You shared some of your valuable food, and I didn't even thank you.

It's no big deal.

What's your name?

Huh?

Zeno.

Zeno, huh?

That's easy to remember.

I had almost forgotten it.

It's so many years since anyone said it.

If you feel like you're forgetting, just say it to yourself.

I live alone, so that's what I do every now and then.

I say "Kaya."

Like a kid speaking in the third person.

I've learned your name now, Zeno.

Zeno.

What?

Zeno.

Zeno. Zeno.

Zeno. Zeno. Zeno. Zeno.

I haven't talked to anyone in quite a while. It's nice.

Yeah. It's nice for me too.

Today was a good day.

Bye, Zeno.

Kaya!

What?

Huh? You're still alive?

Of course I am.

I was saying my goodbyes, because you shouldn't come here anymore.

You took care of me, so now I'll return the favor!

It's fine. You don't have to.

Don't make that face, Zeno.

I'm really happy to have someone to talk to.

Kaya!

Zeno!

Where'd you get those?

I worked extra hard, so the guy gave me some extra pay.

I'll cook something good with this today!

Yay!

I stayed at Kaya's place while working for some money.

Kaya, these veggies are cut pretty crudely.

And they aren't cooked through.

It's fine. Don't get hung up on the details.

Is it fine?

Sure.

Okay, whatever.

Kaya, I have a present for you today.

Ta-da!

Thank you.

It's cute.

Cute!

Ah...

If only time would stop.

Kaya!

Kaya!

I-I'm fine.

I'm getting crushed here.

I thought you'd be warmer with something heavier.

You're funny.

I'll be right back.

Ouch.

Here.

It so warm.

What is it?

I heated pebbles and wrapped them in cloth.

I'll make more when these cool down.

I'll make lots.

So keep warm and lie down.

Say, Zeno, you've done a lot for me.

It's enough.

You don't have to take care of me any longer.

You don't want me around?

Of course I do.

I enjoy every day you're here.

But you really don't know when you might catch my illness.

And I can manage by myself.

I told you. I don't get sick.

But you're overworking yourself to get money for my medicine.

I like working, so that's fine.

I want to stay and talk with you forever.

But I-

I want to be with you.

It can't be forever. I-

Kaya! It can't be forever. I-

Marry me.

Dragon God, why don't you come show yourself?

Please, show yourself.

Kaya... Save Kaya!

If you gave me eternal life, surely you can extend hers.

Please, save Kaya.

I want to be with her for as long as possible.

If that's possible, I don't need anything else.

I'll be fine with not dying.

I'll be your slave forever!

Dragon God!

Dragon God...

Save Kaya.

Please.

No matter how much I screamed, my voice didn't reach the god.

Zeno.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Let's meet again in the sky.

Yes.

I can't count how many centuries have gone by.

People are born with a vessel called a "body." They learn, then they return to heaven.

That's heaven's law.

Or something.

At times, the weight of extraordinary adversity caused searing pain to tear through my body.

It was always the dragon crest that calmed my torn soul.

The king back then had understood my fate.

He gave me a charm, hoping it would grant me the protection of the Dragon Gods.

After Kaya's death, I again wandered aimlessly for years.

When my emotions had finally begun to settle, I thought this.

No matter how many years pass and how much the world changes,

quietly but surely, the powers of the White, Blue, and Green Dragons continue to be inherited by a new generation.

Amazingly, even through periods of great crisis, the power of the dragons didn't disappear.

As if protected by a higher power, their descendants kept it alive.

Only the Yellow Dragon's power could not be transferred, because it granted eternal life.

The Four Dragons were supposed to be born and to die protecting King Hiryuu.

But King Hiryuu is not around anymore.

King Hiryuu is going to be reborn?

If there's a chance of that, I can meet the king again!

And the Four Dragon warriors may come together again!

If that happens, it's not like Gu-en and the others will come back.

But this dragon crest hasn't faded away after so many years.

Perhaps King Hiryuu really will be reborn.

A reason for me to be here.

No, for now...

for now, I'll watch over this kingdom, which was so precious to King Hiryuu.

For the chance that in hundreds or thousands of years, he'll be back.

One day. One day...

Hi.

Who are you?

Is this your reserved seat?

Sorry for taking it.

Who are you?

You don't look like a ruffian.

That presence you have...

I'm just a traveler.

Don't worry about me.

More importantly, look at that, kid.

It's the light of dawn.

I felt like that star was calling me.

Did you?

He's finally been born.

The light of our fire.

The light of fire...

Well, actually it's up to him if he'll be a light or not.

A thousand years? Two thousand?

Doesn't matter.

I've waited a long time. I can wait a bit more.

You really aren't a simple traveler, are-

You'll catch a cold if you bathe in cold water this early.

It's fine.

That's some serious stuff on your back.

But don't worry. The scars will fade with age.

These scars don't need to fade.

It's just that the people of the village become sad when they see them.

That's why I come to bathe here early, while they're still asleep.

I spoke too much!

You made me lower my guard to a stranger. Who are you?

White Dragon!

Where are you?

Oh, I have to get going, kid.

You! Could you be...

If fate decrees it, we'll meet again someday.

Wh-White Dragon!

Are you all right?

I think I see a suspicious person!

After him!

Don't.

Don't chase that man.

You can have it.

It's a present.

Th-Thank-

Uh... Um...

Blue Dragon!

Don't loiter around!

Ao...

Sorry for distracting you.

Be nice to that guy.

I am.

Let's play together if we meet again.

Who was that guy?

He gave me this.

A peddler?

No.

A yellow dragon.

Huh? What are you talking about?

If you knew about this, I bet you'd be mad, Shu-ten.

Fools.

No one can't bind the Green Dragon to the ground.

The soul of King Hiryuu has once again been born on Earth.

To protect the kingdom?

To create a new one?

Or maybe he returned for the Four Dragons who yearn for him.

I'll travel for a while longer.

Maybe I'll find the meaning of my existence on the path the new King Hiryuu takes.

And maybe my wish will be granted.

Oh, well, Zeno is good at waiting.

Zeno.

Zeno.

Zeno!

Zeno!

How much longer are you going to sleep?

The sun's way high up.

Are you hung over?

So many things happened. I guess Zeno was tired.

Let's let him lie a bit longer.

Guys, guys.

Come closer.

What is it?

Can't you move?

Closer, closer.

Wh-What?

Good kids. Wh-What?

Is this a game? Good kids.

Is this a game?

You're all grown up now.

You know, I lost sight of you at some point last night.

Huh?

I put away the dishes, I kept the fire going,

I went to get mountain veggies, I boiled rice, and I did the laundry.

Oh, if you need any clothing mended, tell me now.

The winner.

Huh?

The winner.

What?

No objections.

What?

Everyone, we have to do whatever Yun says.

My lord.

Goodnight

Man... Goodnight

Man...

Next!

Yes, sir!

Quicker!

Cover your side!

Too slow!

Hey, Hak.

Next!

What is it?

Would you sleep with me tonight?

General Hak hit for real!

Someone call a doctor!

A ghost showed up?

Yes.

That's just dumb.

Don't abandon me!

Last night, I woke up, and I heard weird voices.

And I felt heavy, like someone was holding me down.

Sleep paralysis, huh?

Should I call a court lady?

No. Nobody listens to me.

You're strong, right? If the ghost comes again, I want you to eliminate it.

Very well.

So my duty today is to sleep beside you.

Let's get to it.

That was a joke!

Why did you just snuggle in?!

You're a princess, you know!

I don't care. Just stay with me!

This is some tough training.

Should I send a message to Lord Su-won tomorrow that you need him to sleep beside you?

What?

He'll probably say...

Yona is having trouble sleeping?

Very well. I'll take on the task of sleeping beside her!

...and come running.

That would be so embarrassing. I'd die.

Besides, Su-won wouldn't say that.

I guess.

Oh? A ghost? Sounds like fun.

Let's all record when and where it appears.

That sounds more realistic.

So I don't want Su-won for this.

I want you to be here.

Sit here. Sit!

Man...

Is this all right?

Yes.

Also, let me have your little finger.

You want me to cut it off?

Nonsense.

Put your hand here.

This is weird, Princess.

Before the sleep paralysis, I had a nightmare.

Nightmare?

On a dark night, you and I were being chased out of the castle.

We kept running in the darkness.

But when I looked up, you were covered in blood,

and no matter how much I called you, you didn't get up.

Then when I woke up, you weren't there.

I wanted to scream, but my body wouldn't do anything.

I was so scared.

I don't want to feel like that again.

So for tonight, let me at least have your little finger.

I'll give you the whole thing, so sleep tight.

I changed my mind.

What?

Don't look this way.

What?
