Horang, her 13dba36faf veins bulging ffb20c6f38 as she 0afbe26987 gripped Mark’s 62011dff71 collar, suddenly d9b95c9521 released him 30e8341873 with a 45e9b2613a forceful toss a142cb88e5 and waved 01f83eef13 her hand. The Bone Dragon, previously c9326f9e19 soaring high above, plummeted aaa8cd74d5 towards them. A powerful wind, 676ce5ddeb generated by its 6c4f409d06 enormous, skeletal wings, fde7caa410 swept across the 53820a2a81 ground, causing some 227fd95adb expedition members to 44c5be0d66 stumble.

Perhaps it was instinctual, 5b77aa3e09 but Horang invoked the 8dc0ea11a5 classic Korean promise, “Let’s 833aa58703 have a meal next 8ee94a704f time.” The expedition members, 70659fbd07 bewildered by her sudden 997d5fbfd6 departure and the cultural 7290d94a0d significance of her words, 91dbc52c90 wondered when there would 186480d1f2 even be a ‘next 74631ab0c4 time’.77157a84b4ad67a3
