When Sephia was a little girl, people always said a wealthy spring was in the dark forest. When people drop a bucket into the Wealthy Spring and pull out water from this spring, the water in the bucket becomes a lot of golden coins. People conquering the monster in the dark forest can own this spring. Before Sephia was born, villagers attacked the dark forest by burning it. They believed the beast must have died in the dark forest with burning smoke and high temperatures. But the answer was not. Instead of the monster dying, the revenge of the monster was sweeping through the whole village; too many people died in that disaster. The town chief negotiated with the beast, and then the revenge ended.
"I have a plan! First, find the Wealthy Spring; second, the monster will appear; third, catch it and let it help me to find poor Jone! How brilliant I am!" Sephia says to herself. "Yes, I must be a superhero! I can solve the beast and rescue everyone!" With fear, Sephia encourages herself.
Fog likes silk rounds Sephia. She walks carefully, silence around her, and the breaking sound of each branch makes her feel terrible. But she knows that she can't stop here. Unknown how long she goes, she sees a golden light cross the fog. How bright here is! She can see a silhouette in this fog as she walks towards this beautiful light. "Is this the monster?" Sephia speculates in her mind. "What should I do? Fight? Hide? Or stand here and be quiet? No matter what, I can't squeal like a stupid animal unless I want to die now!" With this thinking, she stops and finds if there is some vast stone for her to hide. "Who is there?" A voice like a young man says. Silence for a moment, this voice says again angrily:" Who is there? If you don't answer me, I will chew up your neck like a bloody beast!"

"Ok, my name is Sephia; what are you doing here?" Sephia stays vigilant and answers. "Emm, I love your voice, Sephia. It sounds like a crisp wind chime with some reecho. Do you mind stepping closer so I can see you?" A young man says. "I am sorry. I don't know who you are. And I am not sure if you are safe for me. By the way, do you see a boy who looks like a sixteen?" Sephia asks directly. "No. You are the only person I met today. " The young man says steadfastly. " What are you doing here?" Sephia asks. " Enjoy my lovely afternoon's bath." The young man says brightly. "I think I shouldn't bother you for your lovely bath time. Now I will leave, and you go on and keep on enjoying your relaxation time." Sephia wants to escape here quickly because she can't ensure this young man is good. "It's too late!" With the loud sound of water, a dragon appears before Sephia's front.
