Frozen Heart (3)
About two months ago.
Winter has come to his senses.
It happened shortly after the conflict with Calamity Phoenix.
Winter, who was conscious, first contemplated his own consciousness.
‘I…’
Even while he was dumbfounded.
I sensed my own spirit continuing the accident.
‘I… Am alive?’
Why?
He was prepared for death.
And indeed, the heart of winter was already completely shattered.
But now.
Winter He was still alive.
For some reason, I can’t feel my heart beating.
Except for that, all the senses of the body were alive and well.
It meant that his body was not dead.
Just.
Nevertheless.
Winter couldn’t even budge.
‘Ooh, I can’t move.’
It felt like being turned into a stone.
* * * *
“How.”
Her Yuhwarin.
As the mother of winter, she appeared every day in this deep subterranean realm where winter resides.
Yuhwarin was the boss.
The leader of the pack of werewolves, in charge of all twenty-four packs, including his two sisters.
Originally, she had to go through a busy day without a break from early morning to afternoon.
But, nonetheless.
Maybe she could be here…
‘Perhaps… You forsaken the responsibility of the group. Because of me alone.’
It’s a pity.
That must be true.
She abandoned the responsibility and responsibility given to her and appeared here.
“How woong.”
My mother Yuhwarin appeared every day before winter.
She stroked his thick front paws, stroked his ears, and stroked them gently.
She sometimes pulled the winter as if it were a straight line.
It’s like something you’d see in a hospital.
As if touching the body of a plant human being, he caressed his body here and there and relaxed his muscles without a break.
Of course, even if it is.
There was no situation in which Winter could move.
‘Mother.’
Winter felt the warmth of her warm mother Yuhwarin.
She appears every day, touching the motionless winter here and there.
He felt with his whole body that he wanted to open his eyes as soon as possible.
‘Mother.’
The senses that I thought were all destroyed in the previous encounter were alive.
Only his body, like a hard stone, did not move at all from its place.
“How-u-.”
She sounds like a wolf howl.
It sounds like a human cry.
She let out a long, melancholy cry and wept as she faced the motionless winter.
Even while watching it right in front of you, there was only one thing Winter could do.
‘I’m sorry, mother.’
Just like that, a day passed, two days passed-,
Another month has passed.
‘I…’
Georeum was still spending a day over and over again with her body intact and conscious.
‘I am still alive.’
There was no predation, no sleep, or anything that a living thing should do.
But he was still alive.
‘It’s never a normal situation. Then again, this is-…”
The reason was the kind that even Winter could understand.
Because I could easily feel that good feeling from inside his body.
Gooh Oh-.
Already his heart.
It’s like being able to see it only from higher level monsters.
In other words, it must have been because he had become an insider.
Jeongseok. In other words, it is called the inner end,
A supreme energy crystal formed by gathering the energy that grows from the inside of a monster over a lifetime.
‘Why is my hem in my body?’
Until now, an inner secret, which is difficult to encounter even once in a lifetime, suddenly grew from the inside of the body.
That too, as a substitute for a heart that was alive, breathing and beating.
I couldn’t even know or recall the reason for that winter.
But he knew only one thing.
‘Maybe. It is possible that my heart itself, which was used as a medium for natural forces beyond its limits, became internalized.’
Even Winter himself can never be sure, and even the origins of it cannot be found.
That was all he could think of.
‘Because at that time, my heart had already completely collapsed even its shape. I was just forcibly holding on to what was no different than a broken fragment with the magical power that brought out the elemental power.’
Perhaps the aftermath of the effects that the winter tried to keep at that time.
It might have played the role of a medium that forced the body of winter, which should have already died, to be maintained and continued until now.
In the case of monsters such as unicorns that actually use some of the natural attributes.
This winter was famous for using the heart itself as the role of an inner altar.
Of course, by living without consuming any substances all year round.
‘Just like me now.’
Maybe winter too.
It might have turned into a body with a similar structure to those of them.
While he continues his thoughts in the midst of boredom.
Koo-ung!
A strong vibration that shook the ground came from the other side in the darkness.
It’s a familiar vibration.
It was a sound I had heard many times before.
Soon, she.
The figure of Yuhwarin, the mother, began to emerge from the darkness on the other side.
‘Mother.’
You came today too.
This is a dark underground place where the only light is the soft glow of his winter body.
The appearance of her mother Yuhwarin in such a place was the only routine that allowed her to know that the morning, the beginning of the day, was bright.
* * * *
From noble mtl dot com
A day. Two days. One month.
And-.
Kooung-.
As usual today, Yuhwarin appeared.
With a vibration that shook the ground.
After falling from the ground far above to this place, she sat next to Winter, accustomed to it.
With her appearance, Winter recognized that the day had begun again.
It was morning.
‘It’s already been two months.’
When winter had already counted more than sixty times.
He suddenly felt a rather strange feeling.
For some reason, the atmosphere was a little different today.
She gave off a different feeling than usual.
‘What is it?’
Her Yuhwarin was sitting next to Winter as usual.
But she didn’t make any effort or action to bring the winter up.
Instead, she didn’t say a word, she sat beside him and she just held his front paws.
Soon after that time passed morning and passed noon, when the sun went down and it became a dark night.
She stood up quietly from her seat.
She looked down at the winter gloomily for the last time, then slowly turned her back.
Georeum watched her like that.
‘Mother?’
Why?
Something strong inner instinct began to rise.
If we let her go the way she is.
She has such a strong instinct that you’ll never see her again.
‘Mom, wait!’
Winter shouted, spitting out a cry that didn’t come out.
Of course, it was just a silent clamor.
Still, Winter couldn’t move at all, and not a single voice came out.
‘Mother!’
I called Yu Hwa-rin anxiously.
She did not look back at him for the winter.
Instead, it disappeared into the darkness without a word.
I also felt the winter implicitly.
Perhaps today will be the last time she will be able to face her.
Because I couldn’t let it go like that.
‘Move!’
He shouted at his motionless body.
‘Move!’
It was fine no matter what method was used.
The spirit of sacrifice to sacrifice for others was also considered acceptable.
But still,
I couldn’t just stare at my mother Yuhwarin, who was so stupidly far away from the observer’s gaze.
[May this body move once again.]
With such a strong longing, Winter yearned strongly.
That moment.
From that cold sky.
Snowflakes as white as the faded white fur of winter fell down.
Sarak-.
The moment the snowflakes, brimming with cold air, landed on the tip of winter’s nose.
Winter absorbed the cold in an instant, like a sponge sucking up water, with such a force that it swallowed it into its own body.
The ring.
In front of his eyes, the window of the system that he had not seen for a while came up again.
[The body has moved out of suspended animation and entered the recovery phase.]
And finally.
[Arrure-.]
His neck, which had been tightly closed, began to leak from his insides as his neck trembled.
But somehow, Yuhwarin’s mother.
She didn’t seem to hear the sound.
She was only moving forward into the darkness on the other side of her, with an unwavering gait.
Because he is.
Keying-.
As if turning on a fire in the heart that had been sleeping firmly inside.
In an instant, the energy of the marble-shaped inner layer was raised, and the surrounding eyes were rounded and united.
And then.
f*ck!
In one breath, she threw the snowball at the back of her Yuhua Lin neck.
“Hiyat?”
Is it because of the cold air?
If that’s not the case, why else?
Yuhua Lin let out a cute voice that she had never let out before, and she was startled.
At once, looking back at her as if embarrassed, her eyes met Winter.
Toward her.
Her winter quietly opened her mouth and called out to her.
[Aww-.]
His body, which had not been able to move so far, began to move in this world again with the coldness.
