The Dragon Hermit's Love

Eternal Snow Mountain

"hopefully you'll be fine, buddy"

inyoko said to the white tiger as she passed away continuing her journey in search of the blue rose on the peak of the eternal snow mountain.

Inyoko walked quickly through the wilderness, passing a path that would not be easy to pass by humans especially with the ability as owned by Inyoko.

along the way there have been countless numbers of times inyoko had to run and hide from the target of wild animals in the forest.

indirectly this journey hones the sharpness of instinct, physical strength and survival ability for inyoko.

after 2 days of walking with a rest, tinyoko arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"hmmm.last I arrived, please old man ho soon the blue rose I will bring you, I beg you to endure the elder"

whispers in his heart.

inyoko does not yet know the name of the science of lightening the body, so she really only depends on her physique to climb the top of the mountain.

not an easy climb, because the mountain is very steep.

not infrequently inyoko who began to get tired almost fell from the mountain cliff that was climbed by her because of slipping.

only his great spirit and desire made him still strong enough to endure, to obtain the blue rose.

almost half a day, finally inyoko to the top of the mountain.

at the top of the mountain inyoko found nothing, just a few peach trees there.

inyoko looked far around the top of the mountain, far from where she stood visible line of 6 towering mountains.

"chr.aaaaaal....."

"this is not the highest mountain peak"

"this is not an eternal snow mountain"

inyoko cursed with emotion,

after seeing in the distance a mountain higher than the mountain he had climbed.the top of the mountain was seen a snow-white expanse that decorated it.

"there's no time to complain"

"i should be able to get to that place immediately"

whispers in his heart.

inyoko again rushed to go down the mountain she had climbed.

several times inyoko had fallen and some injuries he got.

the day was getting dark, the foot of the eternal snow mountain was almost visible, while the pain from the wounds on his body was starting to reach its limit, he tried to find a place to shelter and rest,before continuing the climb tomorrow.

on the foot of the eternal snow mountain inyoko found a cave, she decided to rest for a moment in the cave.

until inside the cave with conditions that are quite tired inyoko immediately collapsed unconscious.

it didn't take long for thisoko to wake up from her fainting, she was made aware by a scent in the cave.

inyoko opened her eyes slowly, the cave that originally when she entered in the dark, now visible to her there was a light source from the deeper part of the cave.

"what is that ?"

whispers in the heart.

not finished thinking....

"you're a young man"

the sound broke the silent atmosphere within the cave.

"si..si..who are you?"

inyoko was a little scared and curious to hear that there was another human voice in the cave.

in an instant the source of the voice was already in front of Inyoko.

an old man, even looking older than elder ho.

the old man smiled then took inyoko's sword and attacked inyoko.

inyoko was lucky to escape.

"hahahaha" the old man laughed

"hey, you almost separated my head and my body"

"what's my fault with you, old man ?"

inyoko asked

"for decades I have inhabited this mountain, I have found many greedy humans who come to this mountain, but you are the most foolish"

the old man said to inyoko.

"what do you mean ?" answer inyoko

"you who do not have the ability are very presumptuous to enter this place"

"even your success up here that doesn't have the ability is a fortune from the sky"

"but sorry young man, your journey can not be continued, I have the heart to finish you, then immediately return to where you came from"

"and don't even think about going back to this place !!! "

"or you'll be the skulls that accompany me in this cave"

said the old man while pointing at the skull that had been washed away by the cave wall.

inyoko gulped her saliva, from the beginning she was unaware of the existence of an overwhelming number of skulls on the cave wall.

"what do you mean ?"

"why did you ban me ?"

"i'm the eternal snow mountain keeper"

"i will finish off the greedy humans who want to take the blue roses on this mountain"

"and I know you're different from the greedy humans I've killed"

"you're brave enough to come here even if you don't have the ability"

"that's why I want to treat the wounds on your body"

"so now there's no reason for you to go!!!"

the old man's orders to inyoko.

"i know I don't have the ability"

"i wouldn't dare challenge you either"

"but please permit me to go to the summit of eternal snow"

"the most important person in my life right now is dying, he desperately needs the blue rose from the top of the eternal snow mountain to heal him"

inyoko told the old man.

"is he your family"

the old man interrupted

"family ?"

"even I don't know what family is"

"since childhood I have lived a kara, all my life I have always been humiliated and demeaned because of my circumstances"

"but a few days ago there was an old man I didn't know at all who changed my life"

"that man never looked down on me, he was the first person closest to me in life"

"i promise to serve and be near her for the rest of my life"

inyoko said sadly.

"haha"

"you think I'm gonna change my mind with the story you made up young people"

the old man mocked inyoko

"whatever you think, it doesn't matter to me"

"in any case I should bring the blue rose to elder ho"

answer inyoko

"all right I'll give you permission to climb to the top of the eternal snow mountain"

"to reach the peak of snow you have to pass through 5 levels of this mountain"

"you must pass my 3 exams for each of his levels"

the old man made an offer to Inyoko.

the old man was aware of this ability, making it impossible for his sense of inyoko to reach the summit of the eternal snow mountain.
