62 – Freedom Deprived

The village of nameless dragons.

There lived a young dragon named Yor.

Black hair with a fine texture that looks as if it has been combed for a while, and black eyes that are half-closed but emit a light more beautiful than any jewel.

She looks like a human at first glance, but her long ears, tail, and wings clearly distinguish her from her human counterpart, distinguishing her from a race other than her own.

Yor always had doubts about the dragons trapped in the village.

“Why did the dragons lock themselves up?”

A barrier that separated the village from the world.

It was created by the dragons themselves.

It was none other than a barrier created by his father, the head of the village.

The girl always had doubts about that.

One day, she mustered up the courage to ask her father about the barrier.

The family who heard Yor’s words pretended not to hear them and ignored Yor’s words.

As the days passed, Yor’s doubts grew.

I could not understand my compatriots who had taken away their freedom and chose to live a life confined to the village.

“What are you doing here?”

At that time, it was Maya who appeared in front of Yor.

Maya was a dragon called the other half of the village.

He has unusual hair, with red and white hair divided between the crowns of his head, and both eyes are odd, with red and white eyes.

She is a girl who appears to be about 17 years old in human terms.

Although she has a beautiful appearance, her village shuns her.

Not for any other reason, but because she is a half-dragon with half human and half dragon blood mixed in.

A half-dragon with half dragon and half blood from another race.

Because their very existence denies the nobility of dragons who value lineage, they cannot help but become objects of avoidance.

Yor also followed the words of her elders and did not get close to her and ignored her.

“Hey… Aren’t you being too dismissive?”

When Yor tried to avoid Maya, she followed him and started talking to him.

Continued, Maya, who had run away to the river or hid deep in the mountains, came to visit.

She couldn’t help but be a nuisance to Yor, who wanted to have some alone time.

“Why on earth are you following me like this! “Can’t you just leave me alone!?”

Yor eventually reached the limit of his patience and became angry.

“You’re finally looking at this side? “I wondered if I had become invisible again.”

Maya easily ignored Yor’s ticking and placed her butt on the rock next to her.

“I heard dragons are so mean~ They openly ignore people~”

Yor no longer had the energy to be angry at Maya’s shamelessly relaxed attitude.

“……That’s because you are half of our race, insulting our bloodline.”

“Ha, did you teach a child to be half-hearted? They are really so… “

Maya clicked her tongue and lay down.

“Why am I following you around? My family will scold me so much if they catch me talking to you?”

“It’s just that you look like you’re worried. There’s something you’re worried about, but you don’t have anyone to talk to, right? What about me? I’ve lived longer than you, so I can answer kindly based on what I know.”

Maya caught her Yor off guard.

Already, the family ignored Yor’s words, and when the topic of conversation changed, everyone in the village smiled shyly and walked away.

The more she did, the more her doubts grew.

“… I wonder why my own people created a barrier and tied their own wings.”

Yor finally opened his mouth.

It seemed like there was no one except Bansang that would listen to this story.

“Ah~ That? I guess it’s just to make it easier for the leader to manage us?”

“Management…?”

“Yes, management.”

Yor was dazed for a moment because Maya’s answer was unexpected.

“As you know, the dragon race was a creature that only acted individually a few centuries ago. Living together like this was unthinkable by the standards of that time.”

“That’s… Right.”

This is absolutely correct.

Dragons are literally the most exclusive creatures in the world.

It does not refer to the entire species, but refers to individual entities.

As the saying goes, dragons are individual beings that do not need the concept of society or group.

“But your father, the Chief, brought us together and created a dragon society in this small village. What an amazing thing!”

“What a fuss… So, why did your father create a barrier?”

“Just think about it. Dragons are inherently free-spirited creatures, so they can’t live in small villages like this. No matter how great your father is, he can’t stop the dragons if they rebel as a group.”

“No way…” “

Maya nodded loudly.

“To manage us like that, your father set up a barrier.”

Of course, no matter how great the father is, it is incomprehensible that he brought dragons together to create a ‘dragon society’.

Wouldn’t the dragons whose freedom was restricted by the system of society rebel?

No matter how strong the father is, if two dragons unite, they will surpass him.

Then, did my father really create a barrier and trap the dragon in the village?

“But…” “By that logic, it would be impossible for my father to create a barrier that would trap multiple dragons.”

Dragons have an upper limit to their strength.

Because all individuals of this race are superior, there are slight differences, but their armed forces are similar.

So this barrier cannot be created by an individual.

They all have similar powers, so how can one entity create a barrier that binds them all?

But Maya laughed after hearing Yor’s question.

“This is not magic that someone created. “The power of Mother Nature is almost like a mystery.”

Mystery! Why had I forgotten that!

The conditions for entering and exiting the barrier are ridiculously strong.

If you consider them, the nature of that barrier is close to a mystery.

“It must be a twisted mystery since it was used by an individual, right?”

Maya shook her head in response to Yor’s question.

“The Twisted Mystery is a power that cannot be used even if you try. “Even the leader can’t handle mysteries.”

“Then how did you create a barrier with mystery?”

Maya placed her hand on his chin and thought deeply.

And perhaps he realized something and said, “Aha!” I shouted.

“Perhaps your father spread the rumor to the dwarves outside. ‘Dragons deep inside the volcano cannot leave the village.’”

“The rumor spread by the dragon must have quickly gained the trust of the dwarves, and the dwarves’ faith gathered together to create a mystery!”

Certainly Maya’s guess was more likely than Yor’s poor guess.

Yor was able to understand the reason for the existence of the barrier.

“Yor, can you listen to my story now?”

“Huh? Why me?”?”

“If something goes, there must also come. “I listened to your concerns seriously, so please listen to my request too.”

Dragon society is definitely give and take.

Since Yor owed her favor first, it is right for her to repay her favor.

Yor nodded her head a little disapprovingly.

“Yor, don’t you want to feel free?”

“Freedom… ?”

“Yes! Freedom! “Reject the pretentiousness of society and the law, and feel the primal freedom that we dragons deserve!”

Maya seems excited and spits out her words roughly.

Yor agrees with her.

Why are we deprived of our freedom and live together in a small village?

This is no different from putting a whole pig in a small bowl of soup.

“But how will you gain freedom? “Our dragons can’t leave that barrier.”

“So you naturally added me to ‘us’?”

Yor was embarrassed.

As I chatted with Maya, I suddenly came to think that her half-dragon was her kin.

“I’m sorry, but contrary to what you think, dragons and half-dragons are completely different species. And that is the loophole in that barrier.”

Maya stood up from her seat, dusting off her butt.

“The barrier could not deprive me of my half freedom. Rather, it has become a special entity that can go out with the dragon with whom it has formed a relationship.”

“The leader also recognized this and prevented a relationship between me and the dragon.”

Maya offers her hand to Yor.

“How about we escape from this prison-like town and travel the world together? “Just once, if you call me Maya, we can pass the barrier.”

After thinking about her question, which seems like an eternity and a moment, Yor soon uses his short tongue to speak a language with a clear meaning.

“Ma, Maya… “

It was a language with a truly undesirable meaning.

After hearing her own name pronounced cutely, Maya nodded her head as if she was satisfied.

“Okay, with this, a relationship has been created between you and me called ‘Knowing older sister and knowing younger brother.’”

Maya held out her hand for a long time, but she snatched Yor’s hand, which he did not hold.

“Come on! Let’s enjoy freedom together! “Little brother!”

Maya runs out of her barrier, dragging her with her.

Yor felt guilty for not telling her family that she was leaving the village, but with rising anticipation, she decided to forget about them for a while.
