The last time I dug Luna up my fingernails broke and was covered in blood to the point that my bones were virtually visible . The pain within, however, far surpa.s.sed the pain on my fingers . I tightly hugged the young girl, who wouldn’t ever open her eyes again, with my b.l.o.o.d.y hands and wailed .

The last time I had to dig her up, I dug the dirt up with my scales . The dirt felt wet and heavy . I didn’t know how long I dug for, but I kept digging until the sun went down . Little insects emitting light began to shroud the sky . The dim light lighted up the flower petals around . The entire area was dead silent . Not even an insect made a sound . The White Deer King silently stood behind me similarly to a loyal sentry . My dragon scales were incredibly tough . The dirt and stones couldn’t damage my dragon scales .

I didn’t bury Luna very deep last time, so I soon managed to make contact with the casket . I gently and carefully brushed off the dirt on top as though it was the side of Luna’s face that I was stroking . I widened the hole . I formed a fist, and then violently smashed down onto the wooden casket .

I was especially strong after having the dragon blood reconstruct my body . Thankfully, I was able to smash the wooden casket open with a single punch . I then ripped it open from the centre, thereby gradually revealing Luna’s body . Her hands folded across her chest looked so soft . They even glimmered as if they were pearls thanks to the insects’ glow . I shakily reached down and grabbed hold of her hands . Her hands felt so cold that I pulled my hands back as though I was electrocuted . The spot I held sunk down and didn’t bounce back up . Her soft skin didn’t react again, because she was gone .

I was genuinely afraid . I didn’t dare to look at Luna’s face . My hand stopped right in front of it . I couldn’t bear to pull the piece of wood away . My hand trembled intensely . I didn’t know what to do . Before I arrived, I was so eager to see her face when she was revived; I didn’t know why I was afraid all of a sudden . I must’ve been afraid of her death . Her death was basically the destruction of my world . Leading up to her death, I thought I could protect those around me, yet she died so pitifully .

I felt as though I was drowning in despair . I did so much, yet Luna still died because of me . I could see my powerless self when I saw Luna . A lonesome sense of despair gripped my heart and wouldn’t let go . I guess I was reluctant to accept the past…

I then suddenly felt an odd, warm sensation from behind . Surprised, I turned my head around to see the White Deer King touching me . She gently nudged me with its head as though it was trying to get me to move . I suppose she was encouraging me . I looked at the White Deer King with grat.i.tude, but she turned her head away .

“So, you’re rus.h.i.+ng me, not because you’re trying to comfort me, but because you want to return sooner…” I a.s.sumed .

I gave the wooden board a big push . Luna’s face was once again bathed in the moonlight . Mommy Vyvyan wouldn’t get her magic wrong, so Luna’s face didn’t undergo any change . She still had the smile she wore when I buried her . The smile on her face wasn’t her true smile, however . The smile she wore in her casket was a fake one somebody put on her . It was completely different to what I remembered . I didn’t want that sort of fake smile . I wanted Luna to be alive, and I wanted her authentic smile .

I gently carried Luna out from the casket . Her body was as light as a small pet, yet so heavy that my heart squirmed . I hugged her tightly in my embrace . My tears tried to surface again . I and pressed my face up against hers, but there was no warmth to be felt . All I could feel was the cold friction from my scales . I choked on my tears . Next to her ear, I softly whispered, “Come back . Come back, Luna . I’ve come to pick you up . I’ve come to pick you up from the death G.o.d . n.o.body can take those I care about from me . n.o.body…”

I placed Luna on the ground amongst the flowers . I then took out my dagger at my waist . My hands shook as I gently cut open her skin . That crazy b.i.t.c.h practically destroyed all of her organs . Her heart was ripped straight out . Her veins were torn . The sight of it felt as though my own heart was being stabbed . I almost puked at the sight of Luna’s pale body . I wasn’t scared of her appearance; I just… the sorrow hit hard .

I took out Luna’s insides . Fake organs were stuffed inside of her body so that her body could remain intact when she was buried . I tossed all the wooden stuff to a side, and then carefully took out the dragon heart and placed it where her heart was supposed to be . I took in a deep breath then checked to ensured that I placed it in the right location . I caressed her face . The dragon’s heart seemed to sense the veins around and began to beat . It extended things similar to tentacles to reconnect the veins, but it still wasn’t enough to repair all of her organs, for the reason that the mana was still missing a medium, namely blood . Luna had no blood left in her . I realised I had to use my own blood to activate the mana inside the dragon’s heart .

I took out my dagger and slashed my left wrist . Alas, no blood came out . There was a crisp clash sound then the blade snapped in two . One half of it flew to another side . I looked at my wrist with a dumbfounded look . My scales s.h.i.+mmered underneath the moonlight . I didn’t even make a scratch . My skin had been replaced with dragon scales . As a consequence, I couldn’t cut myself with a blade any more .

A hopeless realisation filled me with despair . I had no way of getting myself to bleed . I was covered in dragon scales . None of the weapons I had on me could damage my own dragon scales, and I couldn’t bleed . I s.p.a.ced out . The dragon’s heart was beating in Luna’s chest, begging for blood to revive her . Meanwhile, I was out of ideas .

I came all the way here just to lose to myself, I asked . How ironic . Others couldn’t hurt me, but I couldn’t hurt myself to save my lover, either . I kept on trying to revive Luna, and after going all the way to her grave, I, ultimately, became the obstacle from reviving her .

I sat on the ground and s.p.a.ced out . The heart appeared to grow impatient and stopped beating . Even the veins that had been reconnected broke off again, leaving just a purple heart and Luna’s defiled body there .

I was eager to go revive Luna the entire time . All the d.a.m.n time . I made it there . I came so far . I was just one step away, yet I couldn’t take the final step . n.o.body could hurt me, including myself .

“Aahh!!!!!!!”

His loud howl echoed through the night and scared off the insects around . A strong gust of wind containing grief and despair pa.s.sed by, shaking everything it pa.s.sed by . The clouds collected together . Thunder claps rumbled, and flashes of lightning flashed . One man’s grief and despair destroyed the peace . He was released his powerlessness and despair on every inch of the land .

I huffed and puffed . The lung-tearing scream literally drained all of my energy . I aggressively pulled over a rock and smashed it down on my left hand with all my might . The rock was completely shattered when it bashed my hand, but I was in so much despair that I couldn’t feel a tickle . I looked at my left hand that didn’t have a blemish on it .

“What do I do…? What do I do?!!!! What do I have to do to save my Luna?! What do I have to do to bleed?” I shouted in my mind .

I bit down on my lip as hard as I could to try and get a drip of blood on the dragon’s heart . It beat a few times, but then the drip of blood vanished within an instant . It was pointless, though . It just beat a few times, and then it craved blood more than before . However, the wound on my lip healed almost instantly . Was I supposed to bite my lip over and over, and then feed the heart one drop at a time? It wasn’t enough blood . Not remotely close to enough . I couldn’t provide the heart with enough blood using my lips .

I raised the blade again and stabbed my wrist . The blade crumbled to bits similarly to droplets of water or, better yet, tears of despair . I roared loudly as I watched the blade crumble to bits, leaving just the handle… and my pain of despair . I didn’t know what to do .

The clouds blocked out the moonlight overhead . The thunderclap and lightning accompanied a heavy downpour . I crawled over the top of Luna’s body to avoid letting it get wet . I covered her and looked at her with despair . The thunderclaps overpowered my roars . The rain ran down my face and dripped onto Luna’s face .

I panicked: “What do I do? What do I b.l.o.o.d.y do? I don’t know . What on Earth do I have to do . . ? My blood… I really want my blood… There’s no way to pierce the dragon scales . Only Xia can cut them and make me bleed . How long would it take for me to go to the North and call her here? I’ve already damaged Luna’s body, so her body will decay . Luna will seriously decay in her current state…

Moreover, she’ll decay extremely quickly . By the time I reach the North, all that will remain of her will be her skeleton . A dragon’s blood may be able to repair damaged organs, but it can’t turn a skeleton into my lover… What in the world… do I do…?”

I shakily raised my left arm . Owing to the rain, my scales had some creases, revealing my pink flesh underneath as well as a ditch . I suddenly had an idea… A very bold idea…

The last time I dug Luna up my fingernails broke and was covered in blood to the point that my bones were virtually visible . The pain within, however, far surpa.s.sed the pain on my fingers . I tightly hugged the young girl, who wouldn’t ever open her eyes again, with my b.l.o.o.d.y hands and wailed
