章 96: The Lost Islet of Tethyt 

Ryu shook his head and the water droplets flung to the sand. There were ringing sounds, and he tilted his head and tapped her ears to get the water out from it.

After that, he shook his head one more time and looked over at his surroundings.

W-where am I? The light was scorching hot and glaring. Ryu hovered his hand to block the blaze and swept his surroundings. 

He saw a beach with gentle waves and soft flour-like white sand. Getting to his feet, he looked at the horizon. There was nothing there but an endless sea, and when he turned back, nothing greeted him but the lush forest.

"You're awake?"

Not far from him, a woman was casually sitting in the sand with her palms on her cheeks. She then stood to her feet and dusted the sand from his butt as she smiled.

Her face was beautiful with overflowing waves of golden hair and tantalizing eyes of blue. And when she flashed a sweet smile, it was like the backdrop blurred, and all focus went on her.
