“ You, the intruder. Look at me.”, the dragon growled.

Hesitantly, I looked up, trembling.

“ Raon. Why have you come here?”

Astonished, I gasped. No one has known my real name since I changed it when I
became a martial arts wizard. In a flash, I looked down to the ground again.

“ I stumbled across this place, Oh, Great Dragon. I did not intend to head here, I
was just taking shelter from the danger outside.”, I said as my voice shook.

“ If you do not need anything, leave.” It said calmly.

With all my strength, I tried to stand up. But I couldn’t. I crumpled my fingers
into the ground as I tried to break off this pressure.

Suddenly, I heard a voice. ‘Stay. When you get better, you may leave.’, it spoke to
me in my mind. Telepathy. Telepathy was one of the hardest magic in the world. I
was surprised but my mind turned blank. “Thud.” Dust flew away as I fell onto

the ground.

When I woke up, I was sleeping on something soft. “Mhmm…” I moaned, resting
comfortably.

“You’re up?” a loud voice echoed.

In shock, my body sprang up immediately. ‘Where, how, what happened?’
Thoughts came rushing into my mind. Scanning my surroundings, I was sleeping

on a silk cloth, and everything else was dust and stone walls. Then my focus came
back to the dragon. Its eyes looked so tired. ‘How long did it live in loneliness?’ I
stare back in pity.

“I don’t have all day. Get up. I am going to teach you magic. ”, the dragon said.
