This dragon was known as Hiryuu. Very few knew the story of another dragon who also happened to find humans interesting. Unlike Hiryuu, however, she wasn't particularly fond of them. She was simply curious about the species that was responsible for so much destruction yet so much beauty. This dragon was known as Momoiryuu She felt no need to descend and walk among humans or even give her blood to a human as she had watched four certain dragons do. Momoiryuu was satisfied with simply observing, and it stayed that way for many years. It stayed that way until she came across a certain girl. A girl that, in time, would become her one and only friend. A girl that, in time, would find herself blessed only to find herself cursed. ****** Disclaimer: I do not own Akatsuki no Yona

(Shin-Ah x Female!OC, Jae-ha x Male!OC) It's human desire- companionship. And yet, the warmth of a hand or tongue is oft a defiance. For the doll set to erode, it is distraction enough, and for the beast abandoned and feared, it is worth every second. For the martyr doomed to rot, it is a delightful tether, and for the crane ringed by fate, it is a worthy sacrifice. For even as tragedy comes with daybreak, they have each other. All they need. **Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, places, or story related to Akatsuki no Yona.

"But please...don't tell anyone, okay?" "Don't tell them that you're lonely...?" I guessed. I didn't want to keep reading their minds if it was that unusual. It was a good thing that I could just read their minds if I wanted to. "Yes," he breathed out. "Why?" He was about to say something but I sensed that he gave up on his reasoning when he said, "...Because it's true, Zara. I'm lonely."

"I have no other choice," I looked down and wiped the tears from my eyes. "You have a choice," he placed a finger on my chin and tilted my head up. "You have a choice to stay with us because you can," "You'll hate me," I responded. "You'll hate my curse that is a part of me."

"They lead an immortal life...sometimes they don't know what happiness feels like," he explained. "What if they got attached to humans? It's a pain to live while you see them die with your own eyes. It's a pain to not be able to be with them forever," With his explanation, I got more curious than before. "Zeno, why do you talk like you already experienced it?" "I did," he smiled sheepishly and that made my eyes widen.

"Are my eyes beautiful?" he asked me. His question was full of wonder. It was like he was afraid of my answer at the same time. I used my hands to hold his hand that was touching my face. "Yes," I smiled a warm smile at him. A smile that wasn't to cover the pain, it was just a pure warm smile from my heart. "I see..." and then he smiled.

❝Because we are young and we are fools, and we only learn when we make mistakes.❞ ≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺ Kouka's royalty is comprised of sinners. King Il abandons his people to starvation and occupies himself with indulging his daughters in wealth, Queen Kashi leaves behind no memory save the birth of a red-haired princess, Princess Yona lives in ignorance deep enough to be incriminating, and Princess Aeri's sin lies in her apathy. The crown sits upon the unworthy, and it's not nearly soon enough when it is wrenched away. But, so what? Aeri's pride is in her blood, in the warmth of her mother and the love of her father. Her pride takes root in the people she loves, in her family. And, even if she turns the castle into a shelter for the weary (one, then two, then three - since when has there been so many people she loves?), her father will always stand above them. Not the King, nor any bearer of the crown. And certainly not any usurper of it. The castle is home and it always will be. No one can change that. Aeri will make sure of it.

A modern college AU short story collection for Yona of the Dawn | Akatsuki no Yona. Hak x Yona, Zeno x Kaya, Shin-Ah x OC, Yoon X OC, Kija X OC, Jae-Ha X OC

Fire runs in their veins and calls to each other. Lien is a flickering flame while Shin-Ah is a soft silver glow. Shin-Ah doesn't expect affection, warmth, love, especially not from someone outside of his group of friends. But this girl gives him all these things willingly and happily. Shin-Ah/OC. Disclaimer: I don't own Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn.

Yun-Leo was just 8 years old when he was adopted by King Il. He was the quiet type and hard to approach making him being the mysterious all the time. He was hiding the fact that he's a forgotten being from Yona and the others. Yun-Leo ended up befriending Hak, work as a guardian for Yona and an acquaintance of Soo-Won. But what will happen if Soo-Won betrays Yona and Hak? Will Yun-Leo remains siding with the princess of Kouka? A/N: This is just based on my imaginations. It's for fun. And the characters is not mine, it belongs to Kusanagi Mizuho sensei. :)
