Kapitel 39: Devious Dragonheart

"That's pretty much how it went," Julius finished his story.

For a moment, he was totally silent as he looked up at his father in awe. Amidst the recollection of the journey from Julius, he was so engrossed that he could visualize it for himself.

He wanted to experience it for himself; the mystery of an unknown land, traversing its obstacles, and overcoming trials.

"I want to go there someday," he said, looking at the fireplace.

Julius laughed a bit then stopped, looking at him, "Wait, you're serious, kid? I just told ya' how terrible that region is!"

"...It sounded more to me like you were recalling how amazing it was," he said.

Those words made his father silent for a moment before the man held a genuine smile across his lips, staring into the flame with his son sitting beside him.
