"The Sacred Eyes of a Dragon"
💎

[ N A W U ]

It's been two weeks since the incident with the Shiu Clan and I'm surprised how calm Jadira has been ever since. We stopped every now and then but I still feel someone's eyes watching me. Who could it be?

The mountains were drawing nearer and I could sense the blue dragon. Seiryuu...here I come!

I had finally approached what I believe to be Seiryuu's village. Small entrance des were built in the mountains along with rope bridges. I hushed Jadira to sleep and cover her with a thin blanket. Walking through the entrance carefully, I saw more openings, however they were covered with interesting designed carpets draped over.

"We have a guest?"

I was started to see an old man carrying a cane appear out of the carpets, along with masked villagers behind him.

A tenant? So there really were people living here

I managed the sweetest smile I could offer and asked politely, "Do you perhaps know of anyone by the name 'Seiryuu'?" They looked at each other and shook their head. "I'm sorry, there is nobody with a name like that. You must have the wrong location. We are merely just a small, poor village that wish to live in peace."

"Ah, I see," I smiled with my eyes closed. Bullshit.

"However," I opened my eyes. "I have a young child with me—" I removed the blanket to reveal a sleeping Jadira. "—And we've been traveling for days. I was really hoping and wishing that we could rest here. May we, please?"

"That must have been difficult," the elder spoke. "As you can see, we are a poor village. So we cannot provide special treatment. But you are welcomed here."

"That is alright," I waved it off.

As I walked in, I noticed that most villagers were wearing a mask. "Um, excuse me," The elder turned. "If you don't mind, may you explain as to why some are covering their faces with a mask?"

"It is a custom."

My eyes darkened for a minute then returned back to normal.

"Those who are unmarried do not show their faces in front of others. It is probably an astonishing thing from your point of view."

I placed a finger on my chin, "It is quite interesting..."

"Oh and my guest," He spoke again.

"It is like a maze when you enter this place. Do not wander far," His expression soured and darkened. Quite astonishing.

"It is not our responsibility if something were to happen." And with that, the man left. This place is quite strange, don't you think so, Momoiroryuu?

I have to be honest with you, it is suspicious. But fear not, Seiryuu is here.

I guess so...
