The girl opened her eyes. She felt his body crumble. Her skin was covered with wounds. She grimaced.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
The deep voice startled her. The girl looked up. Dragging her body inched away.
"I told you you wouldn't be able to escape." The red dragon walked slowly. Full of intimidation. Her prisoner human girl once again escaped but again her efforts were in vain. The woman instead met a group of hungry fox demons. Instead of wanting to help the girl escape, the fox demons wanted to eat her. Human flesh looks delicious.
"You almost became food for the demons."
"I'd rather die than come back here." The girl said quietly.
Heise shook his head, smiling crookedly he said, "If you have to die. Die in my hands, Aira." Heise grabbed the girl's arm. One of his hands forcibly tore the cloth that wrapped Aira's body. So many bruises on her skin. Heise then kissed every inch of the girl's skin. Along with her touch, slowly the bruises and small wounds disappeared.
The human girl recovered. Her skin was clean and glowing again without the slightest scar. Heise raised the corners of her lips, "You know it's not a proper punishment if you dare to go against me."
Aira bit his lip. Surrendered when Heise fondled her again. Aira should have known that she would never be able to get out of the dragon's cage. She should still be an obedient girl. But again when she got a chance to escape, her senses said this was an opportunity. And she without a second thought ran away from Heise's luxurious mansion. But the ending is always the same. Fail. And at that time Aira had to prepare to face the dragon's punishment.
"Master, let me go!"
"No. Your place is here Aira." Heise muttered in between kisses, "After this, maybe I won't see you for a while."
Once satisfied. Heise straightened her clothes. He walked away leaving Aira huddled limply.
The time has come. He had to find the Falcon immediately. His soldiers had already traversed the entire Legendary Land. But the result is nil. No trace of the Falcon at all. Not even seen by the magic vessel belonging to the darkness.
Heise gathered his soldiers. Divide each legendary land area for them to sniff. The ranks of soldiers from various demons and monsters nodded their heads following the commander-in-chief's instructions.

Suwa was so full that eating a fish big enough alone made her stomach ache. Ludra, the Falcon doesn't seem interested in fish meat. Maybe he's more interested in human flesh. Get ready Suwa, when the time comes you will be his meal. Suwa gulped. The negative thoughts came back.
But before that happens, Suwa must be able to escape from this legendary creature. Either way.
Suwa yawned. It made her sleepy. Lying down by the bonfire wishing her a good night's sleep. But apparently she couldn't sleep. She glanced at Ludra who was closed. Her arms crossed with her legs crossed and her back leaning against the tree looked so comfortable.
Suwa tried to imitate Ludra's sleeping position but still it didn't work. In fact, it made her back feel bent. Snorting, Suwa twitched restlessly. Actually sleeping on the ground is not a problem for her. After all, she used to feel it too often. But somehow, tonight he couldn't sleep.
Suwa then glanced at Zie. The eagle changed the size of its body to be large. The white eagle also seemed to be sleeping soundly. Curl up on your stomach with your wings closed.
Suwa watched Zie. The eagle looks harmless when it sleeps. Ahh... Maybe it's a tame animal. Then her dark pupils surveyed Zie's fine white hairs. Suwa could feel the fur as soft as cotton when she rode it. What if the fleece was a silk blanket. Suwa imagined with a smile. She was so tempted. It would be very nice to sleep on feathers.
Suwa walked over to the giant eagle. She carefully stroked Zie's fur. Make sure that the eagle is awake. Hesitantly she climbed onto Zie's back. she curled her body into the curves of Zie's fur. It's really smooth and soft. This is the most comfortable mattress Suwa has ever stepped on.
"Zie you're a good eagle, right! I'm sleeping here okay?" Whispered Suwa. Smiling happily, he closed his eyes feeling that he would soon be able to sleep soundly.
As Suwa's consciousness disappeared. The eagle suddenly shifted its wings slightly. Covering Suwa with her broad wings to warm her even more.
Ludra opened his eyes. Since then he has not slept at all.
