"Yup. It's really messed up. What we did."
"We forget to protect. What we didn't expect is by forgetting, we tried to kill each other."
"And someone ended up dead."
The day was supposedly stress-free. Here they are, sitting on a cafe. Under the shade of a giant tree. All seemed right with world, and yet, the rightness also felt wrong.
"I'm going."
"You just arrived, Tyrone."
"I remember I need to fetch something for my pet."
"Your pet dragon. Right."
"I'm not lying. I really do have a pet dragon. Will bring him someday, once I've trained him to like other humans."
"Well, looking forward to that."
It was true that he have a dragon, however, it was never originally intended to be a pet. The dragon was here to help them wake her.
But how do you wake someone whose body just suddenly disappeared. Her ice casket intact. No footprints. No trace was left behind. Nothing. Nameless.
Hoping the dragon will know, they asked, but the dragon just replied,
"Unknown."
It has been 7 weeks since they started searching. Every attempts failed.
He's tired.
He just want to stop.
February 20.
He started laughing. He also laughed that day when they announced they were going to commence a killing spree because he got nothing to lose, but now, he have something. Hopefully, she's not lost yet. For he had done heroic and terrible things just to find a cure.
He bumped into a stranger.
"Sorry," the stranger whispered. Voice's smooth and calm, a woman...
Familiar.
He turned around and the view of her face underneath a black hood made his breath hitch,
"Cirin?"
