Love In The Last Holy Mountain
Ecidna

The plain of Thebes, that is the call for a region filled with valleys and forests, a little barren because it never rains. Now it is scorched with nothing left due to the rampage of the ruler in the region. The ruler along with his accomplice, the old dragon from the east is now busy searching for a beautiful girl who a few months ago met him. However, whatever effort he made failed. They lost track of the girl without any clue left. To vent all his anger, he hurt the dragon.

"For you sir. forgive me," cried Ecidna.

"This is due to your stupidity" said Apollodorus who continued to hurt Ecidna's body, until his condition weakened.

In this condition, it made him remember his old owner. It's just that they're different treatments for Ecidna.

#FlashBack On

"Haha. hahi..."

The small laughing voice of a child in one of the colorful meadows in the eastern region.

The girl was guarded by 2 guards from one of the large groups named White Wolves. The two men were accomplices of the previous king of Hong kingdom. They were both chosen directly by the king, and were officially taken from the white wolf group. Throughout their lives, they devoted themselves to protecting the princess named Hua Shanguang. Hua, adept at using arrows from childhood because of the guidance of both his mother, Wuji and Wuxian from the white wolf. Hua, also likes to learn to understand the science of traditional medicine and likes to read knowledge books about concocting medicine.

"Uncle, uncle, a tiny voice called out to Wuji by pulling his sleeve.

"Yes, princess..."

"Did uncle know? why is Hua not allowed to go to the red valley" asked Hua Shanguang.

The mention of this red valley is because, its place is formed from soil and red rocks without growing plants or trees that make it look arid. It was once a bloody battle between monsters.

Wuji turned his head towards Wuxian, where the two then humbled (squatted) while holding onto Hua Shanguang's two hands.

"Daughter. tomorrow we practice archery again right," asked Wuji.

"Yes." he answered.

"At the time when the princess is busy practicing archery with hunting. Did the princess see the game?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then where are the game animals."

"In a forest of many plants."

"good. Then, if the princess goes to a place that is not filled with plants and trees like in the forest. Will the princess find any animals...?"

"It doesn't seem to."

"At the time you were in the woods.what princess met."

"The animals are beautiful and funny. For example butterflies, deer, rabbits, and birds."

"Well, everywhere there is princess life including in the red valley. However, if the princess went there, what might the princess would find those cute animals. Which princess knows that, they live side by side in a forest filled with plants. What if it's the other way around...?"

"Ah, you're right uncle. I didn't think about it."

"The princess is very brave. But don't break the rules."

"Good uncle."

Wuji and Wuxian, always accompanied wherever Hua Shanguang went. However, one day Hua met a girl at the age of 15 years. The woman was named Zhu Wulan, an accomplished student from the middle class.

Once, Zhu Wulan and Hua Shanguang went into the forest and saw a half-sized dragon snake from a wounded adult human. Zhu Wulan initially forbade her from approaching because, they were both unattended from her two mother Hua. However, Hua insisted on continuing to do so and approached the dragon.

"Calm down.he doesn't have the strength to resist" Hua Shanguang told Zhu Wulan.

"Who are you" asked Zhu Wulan who was shocked as she brought the food.

"I'm Ecidna" he replied.

"Who," Hua Shanguang continued, asking.

"The dragon you helped a few weeks ago" he replied.

"You...?? Why you. You're what? you are either a human or a dragon snake," asked Hua Shanguang.

"Let's get acquainted and listen to me..." Ecidna, then get acquainted with them. He talks a lot. They met each other day after day until they turned 18 years old. At that time Hua Shanguang was in sports with his wedding which made him long not visit his friends.

Ecidna, who had long missed them, tried to enter the territory of the kingdom by passing through the crowds of residents and markets.

"Ecidna," exclaimed Zhu Wulan who had accidentally seen him on the street.

"Zhu.." he said, hugging Zhu Wulan.

"You're so reckless" said Zhu Wulan.

"I miss you guys" she replied.

"Hmmm... Hua is currently taking care of her wedding with the prince sebrang sea. Right now, I am preparing a wedding gift. So, I cannot accompany you," Zhu Wulan said.

"He's married?? That fast," Ecdina asked, shocked.

"Yes.he was betrothed by the queen."

"So so. All right. You're happy shopping."

"Yes.thank you. You be careful. Don't mind if there's a prankster in the middle of the road." Zhu Wulan said giving a message to Ecidna.

"Good..."

Halfway through Ecidna thought about what she was going to give little friend Hua Shanguang, until she saw an adult woman who had married and took her son who was carrying a dog who later, she was a little girl, dumped beside the garbage dump, Ecidna asked, "What is an aunt.." as she approached the woman in a soft voice.

"Dogs. He used to belong to me. When he was young he looked funny, now he is old not funny anymore. Now I'm married and have children so it's better that I stay here, if there will be a parent."

"Is he ignorant...?"

"No. It was because I was alone. I am married now. We used to grow up together, but over time the feeling of liking towards him disappeared. Moreover, I have married my dependents larger and already unable to take care of them anymore."

"Do you like it" asked Ecidna.

"Yes, it used to be.it's gone now."

"How does the characteristic feeling of like that turns to wear off" he asked again.

"Usually you will become indifferent, never see it let alone to just play," the woman replied.

"Ooh.good." Nod Ecidna, who then goes on his way.

Ecidna, along the way to the kingdom thought so long and muttered, "Hua... Hua, it's not going to be like that" he said making sure he didn't think much. The motorcade of the royal chariot was running to coincide with his footsteps that were going towards the Hong royal palace. He saw a red palanquin guarded by many horsemen, as well as palace servants.

"Hua...Hua.." he waved, "Hua... Hua...Huaa Shanguang," he shouted again which was then able to respond from Wuji and Wuxian.
