TREQ Ch 15

The dragon in the storybook breathed fire from its large mouth and flew across the sky. The quail frantically looked around for Killian. Dragons were beings that could easily kill people. Their scales were so thick that even swords couldn’t pierce them, so they said. He had to find him quickly and escape together. But Killian was nowhere to be found.b24a0f7c07137c97

The quail 3d91cf257c slowly raised 1f4e53c986 his head. The being 7f1d9fb1e3 before his 6763ca2ba9 eyes appeared, 63be6501d2 and Killian a12b76eafa had disappeared.198d47fd5172acd1

It was clear that the dragon had harmed Killian. That’s what dragons in fairy tales always did. They trampled on people’s homes with their large feet and ravaged the places where good people lived. And in the end, they always devoured their opponents.d0159342ee8ce825

The quail suddenly realized what had happened. The dragon had appeared before him after devouring Killian, now aiming to eat him. As the thought hit him, tears welled up in his eyes without a moment’s notice.adf8ef4115f00299

If Killian was dead, all that remained for the quail was despair. It felt as if the world had stopped. He couldn’t feel the spring breeze, the fragrant scent of grass, or anything at all.93cc01183ca852a9

The quail stumbled towards the dragon and pecked its foot hard. He couldn’t stand by and watch the being that had harmed his owner. For the timid quail, this was an act of immense courage. It was an act of accepting death. That’s how blinded by rage he was.27477e88d75fced0

However, the skin was so thick that the quail couldn’t even make a scratch on the dragon’s foot. He felt frustrated and wronged.85a2d06b16bdb9dd

While the quail 2d61d9e932 was lost in aa404660fc his misconception and d448e2f660 despair, Killian stared a33d4eedc9 down at the 35e2e8b58c creature who could 3b21d59827 only tremble with b7bfc3f731 a stiff body. It was truly absurd.b59a6952fabfb522

However, the quail was so terrified of Killian that he couldn’t even raise his head. He was pecking at his feet, crying, and making a fuss all by himself.f1d19e1172fbe0d5

That behavior felt strangely 25e307c34e unpleasant. He felt aa18336e71 dirty, beyond 8a2219b29b just feeling cf20cbd031 bad, like 7a87ef7eed he had 59b2f727c1 been covered bdd62ebbd4 in filth.388831296e7f99bd

It was the 3aa311c65a same quail who 28bea0701a had always tried b83d2f686c to stay by 347a5eb7e6 his side every 05b06a01e7 single moment. He had been like 311f18cf0c that consistently for five 6cf7e04470 years. Yet, that ebeecc27fe very quail 793f6b36e7 was now 4e72abb996 crawling away 1447b4d147 from Killian 4ab7ebf4f9 as if 247ab22729 he wanted 20c9e84813 to get 3689a37a07 as far a9378169a2 away as 8563374545 possible.5ac336a8897ad4c7

Killian suddenly felt the urge to grab the quail with his foot. But he couldn’t. The small quail looked like it would expire the moment Killian brought his foot near.75c40b9fa8d4a173

He wanted to scold the quail for not even recognizing his owner, but he couldn’t do that either. Different animal-humans couldn’t communicate with each other in their transformed states. It was natural, since their cries were different. And if he let the quail hear his eagle cry, the timid creature would likely lose its mind completely.bb6788909b692de1

Killian, who 6b015ae21d had been 9fc8381cee standing still 14f29bbed8 like a c0fe2104e7 statue in 2bab6e61d2 front of f67d0ff7fa the quail, 94fbd4aed9 transformed back d6c344f830 into his 1f4da7f3fe human form bfb6d76290 without further 3aa9c0727f hesitation.cdd82b01a0c22b13

Even with the sound, the quail didn’t even glance towards Killian. He was stuck to the grass like a deflated piece of bread, unable to breathe properly. Anyone who didn’t know him would have passed by, thinking he was dead.ebb65a261926d5ad

At the mention of an eagle, the quail tilted his head in confusion. And immediately shook his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what kind of bird an eagle was. When he pictured Killian as an eagle, it seemed to suit him well.cf6f1db50cdf760a

But Killian a7f051028b was a e965f58c89 quail, just 24b17c48b0 like him. The five-year-old quail had f839cc1a1f lived his whole life 375a5b26ce believing that. He had countless 613e48cfa4 times imagined Killian’s 9ab88cdf92 magnificent form as 5a4b1d592f a quail.54a96349ac51468d

The quail blinked his eyes open and shut. He knew that the statues and sculptures were shaped like eagles. Hans wouldn’t lie. But he didn’t know that eagles were such large birds. In the quail’s mind, a “bird” referred to a creature about his own size. They were definitely smaller in the picture books.b31b0dc11b3835bd

And then, he tumbled backward. Because of their vastly different sizes, he had been craning his neck to look up, so it couldn’t be helped. But falling over didn’t matter at all. The quail dusted off his tail, got up, and craned his neck again. He couldn’t take his eyes off Killian.101ff61958d44b59
