After leaving the village we headed to the direction a villager gave us. He said he has seen that gate when he was a child. It was a top of the tallest mountain. And it wasn't easy to reach there due to high altitude and frequent snowstorms.
-----
We kept walking throughout the day and found a place to camp at night. We continued walking for two days then we reached at mountain peak. Despite of the heavy storms we managed to come here.
-----
After reaching at the peak we saw a very unusual sight. There were signs of people more like army soldiers Noir sensed that as well. At far distance we saw light , upon getting closer we saw a wooden shed.
-----
I told noir to wait for me at the stairs. I knocked at the door. A girl opened the door, she seemed like same age as me. Her white hair were resembling the snow.
She asked me "who might be you sir". I replied - " i am but a humble traveller passing through here."
I asked her " do you know about any gate leading to dragon land here?" I knew how strange it sounded.
-----
She said " no I don't know anything about any gate"
Then I said - "if you'll be comfortable can we stay at night here ?? I have a child with me so. We'll not bother you". She said ( sarcastically) - "you seem younger to be a father but who am I to judge?"
-----
"He's more like little brother to me" i said. as she agreed I called Noir. When she saw him she was surprised. She hugged him and Noir also seemed to know her. She said - " thank God you're safe Noir, i looked everywhere for you."
Noir said " i am alright sis, I am safe thanks to big brother " she looked at me and I was kind of embarrassed.
-----
She said "thank you for keeping my little brother safe" I said -" no i did nothing he was the one who helped me"
Turned out she was Cousin sister of Noir. And an ice dragon (ofcourse).
She said "let's talk inside. I never asked your name, iam Yukinia flameborn by the way. You can call me yuki." I said " my name is "AUGUSTUS VELLION. You can call me Aug."
