thump, thump.
An unfamiliar sound resounds in the quiet room. It’s a small, soft beat that a newborn bird could play, hard to hear even if you listen closely.
The most primitive music that the heart can hear.
A unique beat of a life with a regular rhythm and unique variations that extend from it.
In that rhyme, Tirkanjaka opened her eyes.
Tirkanjaka hurriedly woke up like a child who had slept for too long. Tirkanjaka, who was staring blankly at the darkness, soon followed his body and face with a bewildered expression.
“I… When did you fall asleep?”
Clearly, he had his eyes open halfway through. In front of him, he could be seen sitting with his eyes closed. It was evident that he was doing something, but Tirkanzaka had no idea what he was doing even from his previous experience.
So Tirkanjaka lay still and watched him.
Tirkanjaka was used to waiting. Otherwise, it would not have been able to survive so long. There were times when I looked at the flowing night sky for no reason all day long, and if I wanted to, I would dig underground and sleep for about a hundred years.
It wasn’t a problem to just stare at people’s faces for a few hours or days.
It wasn’t even that boring to rip his face off.
At one point, he, who had been sitting as if dead, moved. While Tirkanzaka was puzzled for a moment by the unexpected action, his hand slowly approached the card he was holding.
His finger touched the card and then Tirkanzaka’s body.
At that moment, Tirkanzaka lost consciousness.
I don’t know how long I slept. What woke her up was the regular beating of her heart in her body.
Like a wanderer who returned home after a long time, it was an unfamiliar yet unfamiliar shaking that seemed to naturally melt into the landscape… .
“center… page?”
The moment he realized that, Tirkanjaka hurriedly put his hands together on his chest. She felt the beating quietly with her palms folded, and then she exclaimed in astonishment.
“The words… no.”
heart is beating For sure, without a doubt.
not slow either It’s not as regular as a machine.
It was so natural that even Tirkanjaka did not notice it for a while, and at the same time, it was a nostalgic tremor that evoked nostalgia from the distant past.
It’s not a flash that wakes up and fades away, like when electricity flows through your heart. This was, obviously, her beating.
I have played in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Tirkanjaka knew it by instinct.
“no way. Are you really doing it… . How the hell?”
Tirkanzaka checked her body. Having reached the ultimate goal of hematology, she was able to control every single blood in her body, taking care not to damage her heart, and traced her traces.
If I had been an ordinary person, I would have never noticed. But after 1200 years of honing his hematology and manipulating the blood outside his body, Tirkanzaka quickly found out what had happened.
And then I was in doubt.
“Blood… alcohol? How about not being a vampire? I obviously only taught Shay… .”
Hematology is not impossible if you want to learn it. Tirkanzaka learned while he was still alive, and Shay learned it quickly in a matter of weeks.
In terms of roots, hematology was a kind of qigong based on understanding.
However, no matter how much you learn hematology, it is usually limited to controlling the blood in your body. Shay knew that, too, and focused only on stopping the blood loss or strengthening her body. Like Tirkanjaka, it is almost impossible to extend the art of hematology to other people’s bodies unless talent, chance, and experience come together to bloom.
However, he changed Tirkanjaka with hematology. That too.
“What I threw away… . In the past, things that were thrown away in order to survive… .”
A long time ago, things she had to throw away just to survive.
Things that were left behind for eons and left behind in the memory.
It’s been so long that I even forgot that there was such a thing.
All of that was on a single card in his chest. Like an old diary kept in a corner of a chest of drawers, like a treasure chest buried deep in the ground with memories.
A distant perfume passed through Tirkanzaka’s chest.
Tears came out.
This, too, was obviously lost by Tirkanzaka.
Shedding tears of joy and longing, Tirkanzaka repeated it in a watery voice.
“Thank you. Thank you so much. Really, you did… .”
Of course, there were many questions.
Why did he discover the memories of his body that he had no choice but to forget about himself?
How was it possible to put it on a single card and engrave it on Tirkanzaka?
How can I use hematology that I didn’t know about?
I was curious about everything… because it was secondary.
“Thank you. How should I repay this favor… . You just want to talk.”
bubbling tears. Bringing the once-forgotten thing to the corner of her eyes, Tirkanzaka said to him with a bright smile.
“If there is anything I can give, I will give it to you. tell me.”
He bowed his head as if tired, and nodded and fell asleep.
I want to let you sleep like this, but I won’t be able to sleep very well in this place without a decent bed. Tirkanjaka reached out, thinking to wake him up.
hand touches his shoulder. In response, he raised his head. Blurred eyes met Tirkanjaka.
“… please.”
Tirkanjaka waited for the words to come out of his mouth, willing to accept any request.
What he gave her was so precious.
“who… please?”
But.
A moment of affection.
Even Tirkanjaka couldn’t help but be stunned at the words that came out of his mouth.
Shay hadn’t slept well for several days and was monitoring the underground arsenal.
It had been three days since the instructor said that he was going to have a ceremony with Tirkanjaka. Since that day, that solid steel door has never been opened.
Even the slightest sound could not be heard from the inside, and it was impossible to see through because the inside was made of steel. I just had to wait outside when the door opened.
‘What are you doing? I hope it’s not harsh… ?’
Shay shook her head.
it’s a bad idea In the first place, the vampire felt no desire for anything other than the desire for vampires and the love for blood wine, and he had never shown any suspicious attitude until now. That is the leap.
However, to be honest, the instructor was also responsible for Shay’s growing suspicions. What the hell kind of ritual are you doing to be so arrogant?
‘Cheet… ! If you’re going for three days, I’d say go ahead and give a more detailed explanation! I was so curious that I couldn’t even sleep properly!’
I can’t get rid of this stuffy heart, so I’m just blaming him for nothing.
“Woof woof!”
Aji came with a ball in her mouth. While the regressor sat in the yard and watched the door, Aji, who was bored, regarded it as a harbinger of play and asked Shay to play with the ball.
Shado, who wanted to maintain a good relationship with Aji, responded whenever such a request came.
However, the process and results of playing were a little different from what he usually did. Shai, who was holding the ball, lifted the cheoneng with the other hand.
“The Thousand Swords, the Wind.”
“bruise?”
Aji couldn’t even react, Shay swung his chin and threw the ball away. The ball wrapped in the wind soared or fell on its own and flew all over the yard.
It was time for Shay, who had so much free time, to stare at the closed door again.
Without even thinking about chasing the ball, Aji sat down and tapped Shay’s feet. Shay’s gaze turned to Aji again.
“Azi? why?”
Then Aji shouted with a disgruntled face.
“bruise! you don’t play! Only play!”
“uh?”
“Woof woof! bum bum! You are no fun!”
“No, no, wait.”
Complaints seem to have piled up quite a bit. Aji, who had been quietly disappearing while playing on her own, this time, barked nonstop at Shay as if she was determined.
The king of dogs who are infinitely friendly to humans.
Facing the king’s displeasure, Shay couldn’t easily respond.
“No, I am. Well, to make it a little easier.”
“Dong Mum Mum!”
Was it too easy to see him as the king of dogs who are friendly to humans?
It didn’t seem like it was supposed to be like this. Shay sighed and called the ball. The ball flew through the air on the wind and was caught in Shay’s hand.
“okay. From now on, I will throw with my hands without using any holding technique. So are you satisfied?”
“Wow! Nope! Wow!”
Aji barked once and then turned away from Shay. Shay, who was rejected by the good-looking dog king, had no choice but to stare at him stupidly.
Shay mumbled as she messed up her hair.
“… ugh I do not know. How the hell did he get along with Aji so well?”
It’s hard to say this, but Shay was secretly hoping he would come back. It was because there was no one else who could solve the many questions that were scattered around, and there was no one else who could solve the immediate problem.
She’ll never admit it, but maybe she’s been a little sympathetic.
That was then. The door opened.
