One-Two Millennia Isn't Very Different than Before

Chapter 15: Fourth

Jessica's POV

After our introductions, Jae-ha and I walked alongside each other until he leaped off to find dinner. He was back in an instant with a huge fawn over his shoulder.

Yona and Yoon took to cooking dinner while I went to find sticks for the fire. I was gone for a while, but when I returned, our three dragon companions were huddled around each other while Yona, Yoon, and Hak were sitting with a visitor. Then, Kija brought me over to their group, "Jessica-san. You know who the Oryuu is, don't you? Just like you knew us."

"Yes, that is apart of the job assigned to me," I said nodding.

"Then, you can tell us for sure who the Oryuu is?" Jae-ha inquired.

I raised an eyebrow looking between the three, "I believe I just said that."

Shin-ah spoke softly, "Then, he," he pointed to our blonde visitor, "is he the. . . Oryuu?"

As we all looked in The general direction of the other group, Yoon spoke up, "Oi, you four! How far are we from the Oryuu?"

I decided to speak this time, "Well if you're talking about yourself, you're about two feet away from him. If you're talking about us, I'd say more about seven feet away."

"Eh?"

"Ara? Are you talking about Zeno?" the stranger said. "Zeno's being good and sitting while eating."

Jae-ha slightly twitched, "Are you the Oryuu?"

"Who, Zeno?" Zeno pointed to himself. When Jae-ha nodded, Zeno continued, "Yes, Zeno's Oryuu. Oh! And Zeno's name is Zeno!"

Yoon looked at the new company and wondered aloud, "What kind of introduction was that?"

I sighed with a sweat drop, "You'd think he'd mature at least a little bit."

Yoon glanced to me seeming to catch my murmur, "You know him, Jessica?"

"Jess-chan?!" Tears were in Zeno's eyes as he looked upon me.

Quickly, Zeno was hanging off my shoulders in a lopsided hug, and I proceeded to answer Yoon, "We grew up together. Zeno and I were training together to be a priest and priestess respectively, but I was the only one who finished."

Yoon nodded, "So have you changed a lot from then? Must have if your childhood friend didn't recognize you."

"You could say that."

"Jess-chan has changed a whole lot. She hardly ever spoke to anyone, although that was mainly her parents' fault," Zeno spoke on and on until I gave him a pointed look.

"You're weird, Jessica," Yoon stated bluntly.

"Thank you, I know."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Without the slightest idea of where to go next, we ended up heading to this priest's (his name was Ik-su apparently) house. Yona told those of us who had never been to where we were going, basically all of the dragons and myself, stories of the priest and little Yoon helping him out, "That's cute, Yoon."

"Shut up, Jessica."

"Oh, but it is! Your experience with your priest, Ik-us is better than any run-in I had with any priest I grew up around!"

Zeno nodded speaking up, "Yeah, those guys were mean to Jess-chan and Zeno. They hit us with books, telling us we needed to be more 'holy'."

"Eh?" Yoon questioned.

I nodded as well showing my approval of Zeno's statement, "Not nice at all. BUT! Your priest sounds nice."

"Thanks, Jessica."
