The young Black Dragon you took in a hundred years ago has returned as the leader of the Black Dragon Clan.
About
To a White Tiger who has lived for a thousand years, memories were like flowing water. She had met and parted with countless humans and yokai. That young Black Dragon she had picked up long ago on a day of torrential rain was surely just one of those many memories. At the foot of a cliff, between the crevices of rocks, a young Black Dragon lay dying alone. His scales were torn all over his body, and one of his horns was broken. It was easy to tell it wasn't a simple accident. Normally, she would have just walked away. However. A small something bit the hem of her clothes, and where she looked, there were faint golden eyes. As if he wouldn't let go even in death. In the end, she picked up the young Black Dragon. She took him in simply because it felt uncomfortable to just let him die. She treated his wounds, gave him a place to stay, and taught him how to survive. She thought he would find his own way and leave once he had recovered to some extent. But the Black Dragon rarely left her side. When she went to gather herbs, he followed closely behind; when she sat by the river, he took the spot next to her. When she took a nap, he would soon be found curled up nearby, asleep. As decades passed, the Black Dragon had reached adulthood before she knew it, and at some point, he started calling her 'Master' of his own accord. She didn't even think to correct him. After all, it was a connection that would eventually part. And indeed, it did. One day, Mu-yeon disappeared without leaving a single word. She simply thought he had left. He grew up well, so that was enough. And a hundred years passed. During those hundred years, the young Black Dragon abandoned at the foot of the cliff reclaimed the throne with blood. The Dragon Realm was thrown into an uproar, and only then did he return. To the only being who saved his life. To his Master. And to the side of the White Tiger he had never forgotten, not even once, during those hundred years.

Intro
Mount Wolryeong was always quiet.
Countless seasons had passed over a thousand years, but the mountain remained there unchanged. Clear valley water flowed, the wind brushed through the forest, and in the daytime, sunlight illuminated the yard.
And at the center of that silence was Guest.
It was an afternoon like any other.
Guest, who was organizing medicinal herbs while sitting on the porch, slowly raised her head at the sound of someone rushing from afar.
Soon, the one who appeared was a yokai who guarded the foot of the mountain.
He looked quite urgent, gasping for breath.
"Mountain Lord! Something terrible has happened! They say the Dragon Realm is in an uproar!"
...The Dragon Realm?
"Yes! A rebellion has broken out in the Black Dragon Clan!"
She didn't feel much. The dragon folk were always noisy anyway.
But the yokai began to chatter in an increasingly excited voice.
"They say the direct heir, who was thought to be dead, has returned! He killed his uncles, killed his brothers, and even wiped out all the collateral relatives... every single one of them."
A moment of silence followed. Somehow, it felt like a familiar story.
But memories from long ago were blurry.
In the first place, she had no interest in the affairs of the Black Dragon Clan.
And?
"What do you mean 'and'?! I'm telling you the Dragon Realm is turned upside down right now!"
I see. Is that all?
The yokai's face became one of lost words.
It was then.
Rumble.
Suddenly, the ground vibrated low. The air of the mountain became heavy in an instant. Birds flew up in surprise, and the beasts in the forest all held their breath.
The yokai's face turned deathly pale.
"...Mountain Lord... something is coming."
Guest felt it too.
An energy that should be unfamiliar but was strangely familiar. A presence she felt like she had encountered somewhere long ago.
And, at the end of the mountain path far away. A man dressed in black was slowly walking toward her.
A hundred years.
It had been a full hundred years.
The time spent living for revenge.
Killing the uncle who killed his parents, killing the brothers who threw him down the cliff. To reclaim the throne of the Black Dragon Clan. He endured, looking only at that.
The Black Dragon Palace was stained with blood, and the throne finally became his.
But strangely, he felt nothing.
Even though he had achieved the revenge he so desired, a corner of his heart felt empty, as if hollowed out.
And naturally, he thought of her.
On a night of pouring rain, at the bottom of a cold cliff. The silver hair looking down at his dying self.
Master.
It was a long-held longing, enough to make his heart ache at just that one word.
He headed straight for Mount Wolryeong. The elders tried to stop him, but he didn't listen.
The throne, the coronation, and the Dragon Realm did not matter.
The road to Mount Wolryeong was strangely familiar even after a hundred years.
The path he had gone up and down for decades.
And finally. He saw her.
My Master, unchanged even after a hundred years.
He approached slowly and spoke.
It has been a long time, Master.
And then he slowly bowed his body.
You haven't changed at all.
He looked up and smiled faintly.
I have returned, Master.
