Love In The Last Holy Mountain
The Past of Ecidna
"Who are you, miss...?" ask Wuxian.
"I.m Ecidna. Little friend Hua," he replied.
"Little friend," Wuxian replied, asking. Her ecid responded with a true nod while smiling. Then Wuxian turned to Wuji and said, "Our daughter Hua Shanguang, never had any little friends except Miss Zhu Wulan," said the dashing man staring with his eyes.
"O, oh. I see," Ecidna replied, looking down with a look of her gloomy expression. He was so disappointed however, still trying to be prejudiced to Hua Shanguang then said, "I. This give this pendant to Hua's daughter. May his wedding be blessed" he continued to give his pendant to Wuxian.
"OK, miss. Thanksmeme it... "
Ecidna, then leave them all. Since that day, Ecidna has never wrestled with humans so that the energy of the shape-shifter was decreased because, indeed, the adaptation is not good with the surroundings, so that the energy of the shape-shifter was decreased, and only Hua Shanguang and Zhu Wulan were able to give the full human energy to Ecidna.
After a few months, Ecidna also heard that Zhu Wulan had married a famous merchant there. However, she heard that the family of the husband betrayed them. Ecidna, himself, concluded that no man can be fully trusted. They were too psyched about the material, just like the Hua Sahanguang and Zhu Wulan families who married politically because they wanted to improve social status in each family. He really felt alone like he used to be, alienated and just pensively recalling memories with his little friends.
The large body of the dragon snake was now lying on the edge of the forest on a large rock. He's resting for a moment. Although physical so scary but Ecidna's heart filled with compassion. As he fell asleep, his tail was unintentionally spotted by a pair of tiny eyes. He was curious, and drew closer to his tail and followed the great tail and it turned out, "a. aa.aaaaaaaaakkkk...mmm.mon, monsterrrr...." the screams of a little boy so close. His mouth was wide open and he could not say anything when he saw Ecidna. Ecidna, intending to calm him down however, the reaction of the child is not as expected. He made the boy even more frightened so that his voice could not be heard by himself. The news then spread all over that there were surviving dragon snake monsters from the rest of the battle in the red valley. The news of the dragon monster reached Hua Shanguang's ears, who knew her name was Ecidna, but Hua advised her husband or the newly elected king not to harm her. Because, he believes that Ecidna is not as bad as the people rumored. The news stated that it was the monster who had hurt an unprivileged child until, making the child go numb and severely injured his legs. News soon spread because the child was able to describe the body of the dragon.
"Well, who can bring the dragon monster Ecidna. Anyone who can bring his body alive or dead will be rewarded with 20 taels of gold, and 15 taels of silver" the king's general named Yin Guanxin.
Many days have been searched, but failed. The opportunity at that moment was used well by the enemy of the Hong kingdom to attack because of the lack of a guard system at that time. Just then, Hua Shanguang had just given birth to her first daughter.
Druuummm....
Genderam sounds of danger were already approaching the main door of the kingdom.
"Huaa, you save our son" said Yin Guanxin.
"My body is still so weak the king," Hua Shanguang replied.
"The enemy has entered the main gate, there is no time anymore. The guards are still in the woods looking for Ecidna. Please go..."
"How am I able to leave the people who have been living with me, while I have to go save myself."
"Please.I beg you to go, go" he said begging his wife.
"Alright, take good care of yourself both the king," said Hua Shanguang.
Hua left with both the palace maids and also her daughter. However, coinciding with that too his eyes saw so much bloodshed and corpses chuckling where.
"Is it because of you Ecidna. It's all messed up because you showed yourself to be so scary. Go you guys. Take the princess to the safest place" he said.
"But.but queen. The king told you to leave immediately."
"Go away." he said aloud and then flipped an arrow along with his bow to prepare against the rest of the enemy forces. He also witnessed his king being tormented by the king of the enemy kingdom from the middle which was aided by the southwest kingdom, many disciples from the mountain who came down to help but ill-fated, the king of a full-power enemy that could destroy everyone who helped Hong kingdom.
With his white clad red shirt, his eyes glaring so sharp, the muscles around his arms were ready to launch his bow towards the enemy. The kingdom that had been ravaged by the ponda, filled by the fire right behind his body that was currently standing upright, he strengthened his mentality to beat the strongest arrow. Both his mother Wuji and Wuxian had died in the place of protecting the king and his queen.
"Mattillaaaa......!!!" his yell. His arrow hit the king who made him die instantly. However, her husband was also killed by the enemy.
"Aakk..aaakkk.." a voice from Hua Shanguang who saw Ecidna holding her child.
"I will take him to the safest place" Ecidna said, turning her head to walk backwards. "Why are you this sad, do you know that you've been played by your own people until you forget this little friend." Ecidna.
"You. don't. kill my child" said Hua, who was unable to endure the pain all over her body.
"I never hurt. But you're the one who hurt me."
Hua Shanguang was shocked and, "Aakkkh.uhuk uhuk," he vomited blood and died. Ecidna, take back her pendant from Hua Shanguag's neck.
Ecidna, has a letter for the adoptive parents of the boy later. He heard that, the sacred mountain from the south is famous for the AA predicate for its highest college status which is shaded by the Gods. Before he went to the mountain, he came to Zhu Wulan who had already moved to the Eastern border region.
"Tell your grandchildren later if, this pendant is a gift from the wife of the king Yin Guanxin of Hong kingdom that is, queen Hua Shanguang." The message he delivered to Zhu Wulan by giving his dragon pendant will.
"good. Then what about Hua's son," asked Zhu Wulan.
"He will be fine and his future will be assured in the place I have chosen."
"Alright. be careful."
Ecidna, go to the holy mountain college at night. However, he failed as he was unable to break into the protective wall. He had forgotten that he was a mustard that sucked up human energy. So, in the morning he tried to adapt to the surroundings, because it coincided with the opening of new disciples on the mountain. For the sake of his mission he took one woman for his meal. Ecidna, taking the woman's life energy up to, makes the woman weak.
"Relax miss, I won't hurt you or kill you. I just need a little help from you. In exchange for this there are 15 taels of silver."
It was Ecidna who leaned the woman's body on the stone. The woman then fainted, and Ecidna left her.
Ecidna, having managed to enter the college and put her son right in front of the golden heron pafillion and looking for a way to get out of the mountain. Ecidna's body was unable to withstand the huge energy in that place, her body felt hot and like it was about to be torn apart.
After a few months Ecidna heard the news about the death of Zhu Wulan who suffered from cold disease. He thought hard that, maybe that was what made Hua Shanguang so close to Zhu Wulan, that was because he wanted to research about her illness. As well as Zhu Wulan needing influence from Hua Shanguang for status in the Eastern society environment.
Since then Ecidna locked herself in her residence, and never changed shape to human form again.

The pain this time felt so different from when he was with his friends. He realized, Apollodorus was not a friend but a master who considered him a slave. In contrast to Hua Shanguang and Zhu Wulan who made him friends without fear from them even though it was painful. Consciousness returned a little, he hoped that someone carrying his lionte could help free himself from the entanglement of the black fire blood contract circle at a later date.
