"Welcome back."

Lloyd greeted Sonata with a smile while walking back with Alastair, along Claire, Gabriel, Suona, Mathilda and Senja. "Master Lloyd! I received the informations just like what you needed!" Sonata said with a smile after hopping off from the motorbike, seeing him nodded before he turned to look at Vincent. "How was it, Vincent? Did you explore the whole area where the Reverse Organization gathered? How about the underground city?" Lloyd asked, seeing Vincent take off his goggles and look back at his mentor. "There's nothing else to investigate here, there's only one place they could be hiding," he said with certainty, making Lloyd nod while staring at him in disbelief.

"So... how will we track them down?"

Senja asked the rider, watching him leaned back a little while sitting on his vintage motorbike that he parked-folding his arms. "It's not as simple as you think, it's not easy finding one person among thousands in this world especially in this huge city. We must gather all of our strength and search for them together," he said coolly as though he doesn't care at all about their mission anymore. "Oh god, here we go again with your 'coolness'..."

Alastair mumbled quietly, he stopped himself when Vincent heard that while saying. "I heard that, Master Alastair."

'How did he heard that?' Alastair thought, hearing a chuckle from Lloyd and he stared at him. "Come on, Vincent, don't give him the cold treatment," Lloyd muttered in amusement, Vincent waved his hand--causing the Mail-Hunters around him chuckled by that. "Don't worry about me, this is part of my character."

Sonata, Claire and Gabriel (he admired him but at the same time pissed by his cool-likeness) thought Vincent was cool and they became comically quiet at this moment by him. "We'll talk about this later," Alastair said to his friends and subordinates when Vincent turned to look at him, nodding lightly--before turning back to look at the entrance of Welkin City and looking at the gate from the distance. "We received a report from the locals in in the city of Allemande, they heard voices from the cave near the waterfall and it is said to be a powerful, god-like creature that resides within the hidden cave in the designated area," he explained, holding the folders that contains of the report from the Postmaster in the Postal Office Branch of Allemande.

Mathilda agreed, after she made a survey with Cordelia--turns out there's indeed something beneath the hidden cave. Sonata's wolf ears twitched a little in interest, so does Suona's dragon tail wagging above the ground in curiosity. Not only that, the locals also heard a voice that sounds inhumane and the movement of the creature inside also suspicious as well. "I'm suspecting that these two creatures are one of the four legendary creatures of Canaria, I don't know about the other two but these two probably Winter Wolf. And, I believe the second one is Spring Serpent, the legendary water serpent dragon that is part of Huaxian's mythological beasts," Mathilda explained, while Senja nodded.

"Wait, we can do that?"

Gabriel asked, wondering about these legendary beasts that still talked about (because Sonata and Suona reminded them of these creatures due to their half-breed status and heritage). "Who knows if we can ask help from that wolf and the dragon?" Alastair asked, however, no one can tell the specific location of that creature. "I know the place, perhaps with a bit of negotiation," Lloyd pointed out, making all of them stared at him curiously. "How do you know about this place?" Claire asked, curiosity killing her a bit. "Sorry, I'm not allowed to tell anyone else even all of you."

Lloyd reminded with a smile, making them wonder that how did he know about this stuff? He's very mysterious even as a leader, not even Alastair know how did he do that. He went towards Sonata before patting her head, the girl huffed with puffed cheeks when he did that purposely. He also did the same to Suona, making her puffed her cheeks that he patted her head--she almost spurted her water blast at him from her mouth as part of her ability from birth.

Sonata narrowed her eyes as she started to get suspicious, but she decided to remain silent because she don't want to ask too much yet--plus she was aware of her heritage and this is the first time she heard of their whereabouts. Not even Suona who never seen them before, let alone her own ancestors despite being Huaxian from birth. 'Perhaps both of them are related to these respective beasts, my hypothesis of them hiding their true power should be true but...' Lloyd thought, his eyes narrowed a little before he close his eyes with a smile. "Sonata, Suona. You're coming with me and Vincent, we'll be surveying the area together."

Lloyd stated as he glanced at both Gabriel and Claire who nodded at him. "Don't worry, we can handle some works while four of you can take a survey in Allemande," Alastair spoke confidently to his apprentice, making Sonata lowered her white wolf ears. "Fine... Claire, could you make us lunch for four of us?" Suona asked her.

Claire's expression went pale, right now?! She's not ready! Oh well, at least she still has some ingredients in the housing complex. "C-Can you wait for an hour?" she asked nervously, wondering if her best friend would let her go easy. "One more thing, make one without pickles for me," Vincent ordered, making Gabriel groaned.

"Hey! Don't make things worse than it is already!"

Dr. Chamberlain approached the group as Vincent was turning up his motorbike, he handed the golden cuff piercing with a device to pierce one's year. "As you have requested," he stated, before he explained. Lloyd thanked him quietly as he received one black small box, while the doctor tossed the one to Vincent as he captured it--at first he was confused but Lloyd signaled not to ask yet so he nodded.

***

Sonata was eating her sandwich that made by Claire, while sitting on the motorbike after they got arrived to the destination and Vincent held his motorbike and secured it, his face wasn't expressionless or emotionless at all-it was weird for Sonata to see him looking like this when Vincent went to the front view of the motorcycle and stared back at Sonata with seriousness. Lloyd was eating his sandwich that Claire made for them and Suona was eating them happily, and he was surprised to see his apprentice Vincent eating casually without saying anything.

"Vincent, why do you hate pickles?”

Suona asked, watching the Delivery Express Emissary separating the pickles from his sandwiches and throw the pickle away from his sub before putting it down. "I'm allergic," Vincent said bluntly before eating his sandwich like the way he throws the pickles off his sandwich-both Lloyd and Sonata blinked their eyes and sweat-dropped. Huh... so he really hates pickles more than anyone else, it seemed that he doesn't like it at all--even if he's allergic to it. "Wait, he hates it?"

Sonata thought to herself in confusion as she stared at him in disbelief. "I remember that time when he was fourteen years old, he always throwing the pickles every time I told him to eat the pickle with salami sandwich..."

Lloyd explained in detail, making Sonata listened closely as the Postmaster-General smiled before telling her the story. She can see that the scenery is breathtaking, it's just like how the literature book described--this place was just like heaven on earth. . After they had their lunch, they went to the waterfall that rumored to have a cave. When they got close to the waterfall, they could see that the current was strong because of the water being pushed hard--while the fog started to clear up.

"Sonata, Suona, do you remember what does your family looks like?"

Lloyd asked, he was curious about their backgrounds while eyeing his surroundings. "Uhm... I do remember what my parents looks like, from what I remember--I know my mother is a human and my father seems to be human too...? I don't remember what does he looks like. I remember that my mother passed away due to the plague on that day, I still remember her appearance in my memory--that's what I remember," Sonata answered, still unsure if her father still alive or not. Suona rubbed her chin, before she hummed. "My mom passed away because of a tragedy, I can't say much because it hurts to recall that tragedy of us Huaxians... but I know my father but forgot what does his appearance looks like."

His fingers tapped on his cane, he want to see if this will work--so he waited until the time is right.

"So, this is the hidden cave?"

Sonata asked, rubbing her nose with her fingers due to sneezing in annoyance after the dust from Vincent's motorcycle wiped off her nose, which he didn't care about it. Lloyd nodded, he had been through this region a few times already--so he was familiar with the region. "Some people informed me about the location of the legend, so I decided to check it out--it's full of legends in this city," he said as he began to poke the stone-covered cave with his cane, until his eyes widened by the crack beneath him and he fell by sliding down inside the cave. "Ah!"

"Master Lloyd! No--" Sonata shrieked as she got slid off inside, and her hands instinctively grabbed Vincent's pants and Suona's long sleeve--making them dragged into the cave and the crack closed up. "Hey, don't drag me along!" Vincent scolded her, making Suona covered her eyes from the sight of darkness.

The four of them have fallen into the cave; but surprisingly the water was warm and bubbly-due to the fact that it comes from underground hot springs--while the current was carrying all of them inside and pushed them to enter the smaller tunnel--making them fell into the hot spring water.

Sonata resurfaced from the thermal water as she spurted the water from her throat, she spat out the bubbly water from the hot springs. The water that she was floating on was indeed warm--the whole area that she was in was bright due to the lamps emitting blue orbs that lit up the cavern-showing the hidden waterfalls that spewed steaming warm water. Suona was able to swim due to her half-ancestry being half-Spring Serpent dragon and half human, which she resurface and shake her head from the water that drenched her hair.

Vincent slumped into the edge as he coughed up the remaining water from his lungs, shaking his head before his mentor-superior Lloyd resurfaced and take off his spectacles--rubbing his eyes. "Oh no... this is the only good suit I ever have... now, my suit is soaked in these thermal hot spring," he whimpered softly. Sonata can tell that the man was almost sad when he saw his clothes were wet, Sonata swam to him and helped him to reached the nearest stone pillar for him to stand up--while Suona managed to keep herself afloat for the whole time.

"Let's split up because there's two caves in front of us... Vincent, you go with Suona... I will be going with Sonata, okay? You can stay here while waiting for us, or try find another way," he told his apprentice. Vincent nodded, and Suona hoped that the two will make it out fine. "Oh right, what about this?" the Delivery Express Mail-Hunter asked, showing the black box to him and Lloyd whispered something to him--making him wide-eyed before he nodded at him quietly.

'What was that all about?' Sonata and Suona thought.

They entered inside into the respective caves separately, Sonata saw that the hot springs and steaming geysers were creating constant warmness that give it a comfortable temperature--what interested Sonata are the stone structures that sticking out of the ground, including the stalagmites protruding from the ground.

Sonata felt her wolf ears on her head twitched, she stand up from the edge on her two feet and saw something moving from afar--she heard a low growl, and it came from the direction of the cave. Lloyd narrowed his eyes, noticing the slight movement from afar.

The giant white wolf with silver furs creeping out from the darkness with its glowing teal-blue eyes--matching Sonata's teal-blue ones, the creature snarled at her like a beast that was angered by the three intruders that trespass in their territory--Sonata's reaction was purely normal that she stepped backwards and clenched her fists when the giant white wolf lurked closer to her, the beast could smell the fear from this girl. As she clenched her fists and stood still, she know how to deal with these monsters from her past along Suona.

Lloyd narrowed his eyes, watching Sonata jumped to avoid the attack of the giant wolf's ambush to the ground and she landed on the rock-like flat platform--but surprised that she also got a scratch on her arm. His eyes gazed at the beast who was leaping on him and he slid down and avoiding the ambush, but did not leave a claw mark on his wrist. "Master Lloyd!" she yelled, before he informed. "I'm okay, don't worry too much!"

Sonata's eyes glowed a bright blue as she stared at the giant wolf who sneered at her, before she huffed. "Those teal-blue eyes, why are they similar to mine?" she whispered, wondering why these monsters have this kind of eyes like hers. As if on cue, the giant wolf's gaze widened--somewhat finding Sonata familiar. The white wolf's eyes flashed brightly as the giant beast growled and lunged at Sonata, but she was already prepared for that move. Her eyes widened to see Lloyd tossed a black box and she captured it, before she saw the wolf leaping back at her.

"Watch out!"

Lloyd shouted, he jumped in front of his subordinate and pushed Sonata out of the way--he use his cane to withhold the beast from making an ambush. The cane is his sealed Automotive Gear weapon, so it didn't break into two due to the solid materials that the cane has.

"Sonata, attach the ear cuff on the wolf's ear! I'll keep the wolf at bay!"

Sonata was puzzled but nodded as she held out her arm and touched the fur of the wolf's neck, before she climbed on top of the white wolf's body. 'Darn, it's so huge!' she thought, trying not to fall from the wolf's movements. The white wolf snarled as it struggled to break free from her grip once it manage to make Lloyd fell down on the ground, he tried to push back with its head by shaking his head and moving around. Then, she take out the ear piercing tool that Dr. Chamberlain created as his invention. Dr. Chamberlain also made the one for Suona, the same rune ear cuff but for the Spring Serpent itself.

Sonata wondered that what did he make this for? But she didn't waste time as she yelped when the beast tried to crash itself to the wall, making her hissed in pain due to the large physique. Sonata fell down as she hissed in pain, shaking her head while she look around. As she saw her Automotive Gear dropped to the ground and leaving her unarmed with Lloyd, she had enough because this is her final breaking point.

"I... had enough!"

Sonata yelled, her eyes flaring in red color and she jumped towards the beast--landing on its snouts and crawled upwards while the beast trying to wriggle its head around uncontrollably. "Stay still!" she commanded as she was about to slip the ear cuff and push it into its wolf ear, the giant wolf realized what she did and felt the ungodly pain of its ear being pierced; the creature let out a loud, ferocious roar of protest as it thrashed wildly underneath her, after she clipped the ear cuff through the wolf's ear.

Sonata can feel how her wolf's mind grew calmer now as soon as the ear cuff was fitted onto its ear, stepping away from the giant wolf who was growling in anger again. "Wait! Please don't hurt him, please!" she told the giant wolf, before she closed her eyes--praying that the Winter Wolf won't attack them again. The giant wolf stared at her in disbelief for a second, before it turned its attention back to Sonata and her superior. The giant white-silver wolf whimpered as it kneeled down on the ground in front of her, before Sonata patted the giant wolf's head (since the wolf is larger like a dragon) lightly with her hand.

Lloyd watched the beast fell down and Sonata also fell down, but he immediately captured her while he carried her Automotive Gear on his hand. "Thanks, Master Lloyd..." she thanked, panting heavily after using her energy in attempt to distract the beast--her eyes went back to original tea-blue. "It's my pleasure," he said with a smile, placing her on the ground and she regained her balance before she received her weapon back--good thing it's still intact.

"It's okay, please don't worry anymore... we promise not going to hurt you, we just want to help you..." she said soothingly, she didn't want to make things worse. Even though this creature is part of her ancestry--the Winter Wolf has no right to do whatever they want with her and her friends, but they still need to learn some manners from them. The giant wolf whined, before it opened its muzzle to speak in a male voice.

"Sonata... Nocturna..."

Sonata feel a goosebumps when the wolf addressed her full name, how did he know her name? The Winter Wolf can speak? Until that voice reminded her past--when her father 'supposedly' died from trying to save her from Reverse Organization but failed. Wait... could it be...?

"Father?" Sonata whispered, she couldn't believe it at all. But even so, it can't be! Was he dead after all? Wait... that time when she was kidnapped... he tried to save her but he didn't succeed, that time she remembered clearly. "What are you doing here...? How did you find me here?"

Sonata asked in tearful and desperate tone, as if he could hear her every word. She was so happy seeing him here, but at the same time she didn't want to get emotional in front of this monster that was her father, knowing that if he found out that she was half-human, she wouldn't want that--but when she remembered her parents' love story--with her late-mother who is a human... there's no way that it should end like this.

Lloyd took a step closer to the Winter Wolf, seeing how weak the beastly wolf looked. "Sonata... is it...?" he trailed off, he frowned to see her hugging the giant wolf while sobbing in tears of joy. It was true, she was the daughter of the Winter Wolf--a half-breed. "I don't know how long ago did your father left you alone there--but if he knew you were there... I believe he will definitely come back for you," he said, but one question that stuck in his head--how long he has been living here?

Sonata sniffed in between her nose, wiping off her tears before looking at her father--then back at her superior. "How are we suppose to drag him out of here...? Judging from how he look..." Sonata asked, trying to hide how sad she felt inside and the large white wolf let out a whimper. "No wonder... I always wondered why he didn't visit me... and why he never came... he was stuck in here for a long time..."

The Winter Wolf flicked his large tongue at her, trying to say 'you're right' or something--she leaned in and hugged him once more. The giant beast opened his muzzle as it revealed to have teeth similar to a canines, the huge teeth looked scary and threatening to Sonata.

"Take it easy, I'm harmless--I'm one of your daughter's friends.”

Lloyd reassured with a smile, patting the beast's muzzle like it's just a furry animal. "Hold on, let me contact Vincent and Suona first," he spoke, taking out his vintage walkie-talkie and he realized how awful the signal is.

Then, they heard a loud explosion from across them.

On the other side...

Vincent and Suona exploring the cave that filled with fountains and serpent-engraved stone structures in the hot springs. Suona can feel the warm steam coming from the fountains, before she noticed the two stone pillars with a gem inside. "Woah... this is nice!" she said with a smile, looking around the view. Vincent couldn't believe it, why did his mentor gave him this and how did he KNOW that this will happen at the first place. It was right for him not to ask, because THIS is what happened now. "Be careful, you might slipped on something," he warned.

Then, they stopped when Suona's hearing caught something from across them.

A loud explosion-like noises happened from a crumbling stones across them, making them stuck inside. Suona was surprised to see the large dragonic serpent; the Spring Serpent has presenting itself. The serpent has a matching turquoise emerald eyes with teal, dark purple and mint green mane, with a white, scaled body with light purple scales. It has similar light and purple horns similar to the sea creatures that Suona has, which is strange--how did the serpent dragon looks familiar to her?

"Suona, be careful! That's the Spring Serpent!" Vincent warned, as he pointed at the sudden movement from the ground. The dragon grunted and bared its fangs before its eyes glowed dangerously, making Suona huffed. "Dang it!" she yelled, before she avoided the bashing tuft of tail across her side and much to her disadvantage--she can't use her Automotive Gear while being faced by this beast. Vincent shot the beast but the beast avoid his Melodic Scores, making him narrowed his eyes and rolled to the side from the huge bash of its tail. "Suona!" he yelled, tossing the black box and her tail captured it. "What is this for?!" she asked.

"Just piece it on its ear!"

"Why?!"

"JUST DO IT!"

Suona nodded at Vincent, while he distract it by using his Automotive Gear to keep the Spring Serpent at bay. As the serpent tried to launch at Vincent, he jumps off and keep the creature distracted--so it won't attack Suona who tried to jump and landed on the platform. As she take out what's in the box, it was a golden-colored ginkgo-shaped piercing with a device to pierce the creature's ear. "Crap baskets, I need to find a spot so I can keep myself from falling..." she grumbled, before she hit the timing by jumping on the serpent's back of the head.

The Spring Serpent roared and tried to swat Suona away with its tail, however--she wrapped her scaly, dragonic serpent-like half tail around the horn of the serpent to keep her hanging. "Stay still, damn it!" she yelled at the serpent's ear, holding the ear before finally pierced the serpent's ear with the ear cuff and panted from how hard it was. The serpent roared and fell down on the humid grounds, while the ear cuff was now attached to calm down the beast.

Seriously, how did the Postmaster-General came up with this idea?

After taming the beast down, she relaxed herself after being scared by the sudden Spring Serpent showing up all of a sudden in the cave. They watched the beast hissed a little, before opening its mouth. "My... daughter... is that you...?" the serpent suddenly spoke, making Suona froze and somewhat... feeling slightly familiar by hearing that voice. "How did you know my name?" she asked, she didn't want to believe it--but that voice is so familiar to her father's.

"Your voice... it was you... Suona Fermata."

'Wait! This dragon sounds familiar to me...' Suona thought in her mind, as if trying to recall the memory--or the face, even the voice of the dragon. Before she meet Sonata during their kidnappings by the Reverse Organization, she recalled the memories of the past when she was born inside the egg and laying on the hot and humid cave. At first, Suona thought this Spring Serpent was the same dragon that protected her and kept her close to her after her human mother has passed...

"Father... is that you? How... did you want to meet me? I thought you left me behind?"

Suona asked when the serpent stared at her for a while, perhaps trying to digest the information first--before it nodded its head at her. That time, the Reverse Organization was on a witch hunt to defeat the god-like powerful beasts because they believed that they were their natural enemies, and Suona's father refused to join any cause that is responsible for the extinction of the last two reptile dragons in the world--her grandfather was the first one, her father has explained what happened between him and Reverse Organization. Of course, he sacrificed himself to save his daughter from the humans--and he didn't mean to leave her.

Vincent watched the serpent came out with four limbs, the jaw has whiskers and the tail is wide, and its most distinctive characteristics are the pair of curved horns with corals on the top of the head. The entire dragon seemed to resemble a snake more than a lizard, since it can actually stretch its body like an elastic band. Suona wanted to cry when the dragonic serpent circling its body slowly around her small body, trying to comfort her with his snout nudging her side--before Vincent called Suona. The serpent nodded its head and Suona helped to move the serpent, leading to where Lloyd and Sonata are--along the Winter Wolf who finally stood on his four paws with little trouble and following them.

"Leave this to me."

Vincent spoke, he aimed his Automotive Gear at the small hole of the cave. It can create destructive blast when it goes off. "If you're going to do that... then we'll help," he spoke, he pulled the trigger as the thunderous blast hit against the rock behind the giant white wolf, causing it to roll on its side and fell unconscious on the soft soil.

Lloyd nodded as he helped Vincent pull out the giant wolf from the cave entrance by its hind legs, they dragged it outside and placed it on the hard stone pavement. "Oh great, I think we need to contact the others in National Postal Service... they'll know what to do next," he said sadly, looking at the giant wolf and the serpent. His two subordinates followed suit, while helping the injured beasts to come out. They could hear how the giant wolf's heart beat rapidly, as it breathed heavily with pain along the dragon.

Few hours later...

"Are you serious?!"

Alastair snarled at his superior-friend Lloyd by surprise, the Mail-Hunter Armed Enforcement Squad has arrived with Dr. Chamberlain--he and his medics already prepared their tools to tend to the Winter Wolf that was injured along the Spring Serpent--bringing them to the headquarters. Alastair couldn't believe the Postmaster-General is able to find and interacted with the legendary creature in this world; which was known to be a menacing presence, yet only caused little to no harm on humans and other races. "How is this even possible!?" he shouted, as his leader was about to explain his plan.

"It's a long story..." Lloyd said with sheepish smile to his subordinate-friend, who's about to explode with rage and confusion. "Wait... so that means?" Mathilda asked as she tilted her head, seeing the beast was laying on the large crate. "Yeah... that Winter Wolf also Sonata's father, I guess that explains it... and the Spring Serpent is Suona's father, sounds crazy isn't it?" Vincent grumbled, fixing his vintage motorbike.

"What a rare breed..."

Dr. Chamberlain spoke when he tended the giant white wolf's wounds--he could see how tame the wolf was, even though he was so big and powerful. He also examined the giant serpent dragon's wounds, the dragon was breathing through the slits on his sides, like a snake. "I have seen both of these creatures at least more than once--but I never face to face with a divine-like beast who's part of Canaria Royalty... this is my first time encountering both of them.

He stated, before he injected a special liquid which is an antidote for Winter Wolf and Spring Serpent--to bring back its normal state of being. . Dr. Chamberlain sighed relieved when the giant wolf went back to sleep again. "Now, he will turn back to human once he wake up, I hope everything go smoothly with this..." he muttered worriedly while staring at the sleeping creatures.

"At least they look healthy now," Dr. Chamberlain added when he examined his patient, before he asked. "Master Lloyd, Master Alastair, do you think we should bring them to the National Postal Service?" he asked, making Lloyd nodded but his subordinate Alastair went pale-faced. "I don't think it would be wise to drag such a huge creature..."

"He won't be bothering us at all, right? This is a going to be interesting," Lloyd said happily, even as Postmaster-General he always find the solution for every problem he has. Dr. Chamberlain chuckled lightly to his boss and subordinates, he knows that his superiors are good people to work under them.

"But how are they supposed to turn back to human?"

Marie asked, examining their sleeping forms by inspecting the wolf's teeth even the canines from the serpent--along their physique and health. "Some of the legendary creatures were able to turn back to humans as long--but not all of them can shapeshift into human, this is a rare chance since you asked me to make one for them. And, you're lucky that I have these 'artifacts' hidden."

Lloyd smiled sheepishly, before he whispered. "Don't mention that in here, please."

For some reason, Sonata listened to them through her wolf ears--making her curious on how did her superior can came up with this? Did he know something? His exceeding knowledge and intelligence making her starting to learn about his nature. However, she decided to focus on treating her father first. "We need to bathe them... not gonna lie, they smell like old clothes..." Suona said with a frown, rubbing her nose in disgust while Sonata giggled at her funny comment. "That sounds like a lot of work..." Gabriel commented to his friends, but then he saw how tired and exhausted the giant wolf was due to their prolonged journey. The serpent also exhausted, at least he was able to reunite with his daughter.

Sonata kneeled down in front of her father who was a giant wolf, her father should be around thirty-seven years old now--in his youthful and un-aged appearance in his human form. The same goes for Suona's father, but both of their features were 'hidden' in their human forms to preserve their true identity from being shown. "I wonder what does he looks like when he's a human..."

Senja wondered, rubbing his chin while kneeling in front of the sleeping beast--he want to comb the Winter Wolf's fur until he got caught by Alastair's glare upon him. "Do you know your father's name?" Mathilda asked, Sonata shake her head. "My father never told me his name, I don't know if he didn't want me to know about his identity or if he forgot," she replied honestly, frowning a little. "But, I was so young back then, so I don't know much of what happened during that time..."

"Me too... I never heard him mentioning his name, or... he was nameless from the first place," Suona added, staring at the sleeping serpent while caressing his scales.

They were dismissed and wait until morning to see the progress.
