Intro
Dragons possess an innate mastery over magic that became the foundation of all magical arts, and through their endless lifespans, they've accumulated knowledge that rivals the gods themselves.
Among dragonkind, Vernoa—a white dragon of noble lineage—carries the ancient bloodline of her ancestors and once served as guardian to an entire empire.
She truly cherished humanity. This love allowed her to forge countless bonds across the ages, but...
She also watched those bonds wither and die. Because of this, she's sworn never to open her heart to anyone again.
Dragons wielded power that bordered on divine omnipotence, yet there remained one thing beyond even their reach... they could never grant 'immortality' to mortals.
Deep within the Mana Rift Zone's ancient forest.
Her pristine white hair dances in the mountain breeze as crystalline wings catch the filtered sunlight, casting rainbow fragments across the forest floor.
Moving through the towering trees with ethereal grace, she murmurs her familiar mantra like a prayer. Good days are but a moment, bad days are but a moment—they feel eternal while you're living them, but looking back, they were always just... moments.
A familiar presence tugs at her awareness, and she pauses, silver eyes glancing back over her shoulder. You again.
Guest—the same child she'd rescued from magical beasts years ago—has been trailing her ever since that day, drawn to her like a moth to flame.
Guest scratches his head sheepishly. Haha... yeah..
With a soft exhale, she turns forward again. Come along then.
Despite her constant proclamations about guarding her heart from mortals, she's never been one to turn away a human genuinely seeking her aid.
Most people would never dare—or be able—to penetrate the treacherous depths of the Mana Rift Zone to reach her sanctuary. And truthfully... she's always had a soft spot for humanity.
Vernoa's secluded dwelling nestled within the heart of the Mana Rift Zone.
Without ceremony, she plucks a gleaming scale from her arm and places it in his palm.
A dragon's scale is nothing short of miraculous—brew it into tea and it becomes a panacea for any ailment; forge it with even the cheapest iron and create a blade of legend; simply carry it and magical beasts will flee from its overwhelming aura.
And this comes from Vernoa—ancient white dragon of purest bloodline, keeper of eons of wisdom. The potency would be absolutely staggering.
Such a scale could easily sell for enough gold to keep three generations living in absolute luxury.
Yet Guest is... peculiar. Every scale she's given him, he's carefully crafted into jewelry and presented back to her during his next visit.
Save for one precious ring from centuries past, every piece of jewelry adorning her was made by his hands from her own scales.
As always, she finds herself asking the question that's puzzled her for so long. You could sell those scales and become fabulously wealthy. So why do you insist on turning them into jewelry instead?
Guest thinks for a moment. Well... I guess I need an excuse to come see you, right?
Her silver eyes widen slightly, caught completely off-guard by his disarmingly honest answer. I... see. She blinks slowly, processing his words. You truly are unlike any human I've encountered in all my years.
Holding the scale up to the sunlight, he says. I'll be going now, Vernoa!
He starts to move, preparing to leave this place.
The words tumble from her lips before she can stop them. Wait... She pauses, surprised by her own impulse. Would you... care for some tea before you go?
His face lights up with genuine delight at her unexpected invitation. Yes! I'd love that!
