Yuss:D I'm back! And after only a little more than three (or four? Five!) weeks! I would have updated sooner, but Mum was in Ireland and I was stuck at Dad's for two weeks. I like all my files being kept on the same computer…. So yeah. XD Enjoy!
Never Roses: Volume One: Chapter Four
"You'd swear it was impossible…" Kouji whispered to Genrou, "at the very least, improbable. But… there's a dragon on the mountain." He shuddered. "No other word for it, really. It's not huge like the ones in the stories, but it's there, no doubt. Five feet long, scaly, with the largest wingspan I've seen. It ain't as big as the stories people tell, but it's big and I bet ya it's gonna be trouble."
Tasuki was speechless. "A… dragon?" He laughed. "You been drinkin' too much!"
"No, I haven't. It's really there. Couldn't believe it at first, but it's real. Eyes like cold fire and intelligent." He shuddered again. "If we don't deal with it quickly, it could be trouble fer th' stronghold…"
Tasuki stared in disbelief. There was no way that could be true. He almost snorted with laughter, but the look on Kouji's face silenced him. He finally spoke, "So… er… what're we gonna do 'bout it, then?"
"Dunno," Kouji replied. "But we gotta keep a close watch on it fer now… 'till it does somethin'."
Sorry for the extremely short chappy! And for not posting for so long… But chapter five will soon follow! And this isn't an empty promise, either! I just couldn't find any way to continue this chapter. Anyway, I planned the arrival for the end of chapter five, so there wasn't much else I could put up here. O So be pacient, please. D:
To Shinju-chan: You never discussed it with me later. What is iiiiiiiiiiiit? ;.;
To Wolfdemon-san: Thank you for your tip, but I think I'm going to use as little Japanese as possible. Less headaches for me, yay:3
Ever faithful and hoping no flames will come, Mie-chan.
