The weather is cloudy, the forest around the crater is now back to silence. Somewhere nearby, a Master and his disciple are venturing inside the forest.

"huff..huff..."

"Master Muller!"

"Master Muller, wait!"

"Wait!"

"huff..huff.."

"you huff..huff.. are huff..huff.. moving huff..huff.. too fast."

"Wait, huff..huff.. for a minute huff..huff..will you!"

Liam Hofmann, a fifteen years old boy who recently started working as an Apprentice for Dr. Lukas Muller, who is a renowned Alchemist in the Kingdom of Helvetia'.

"hurry up, Liam."

"keep up with my pace, will you."

"We don't have a whole day, you know."

"And how many times do I have to tell you to call me, Doctor!"

"huff..huff.."

"But, Doctor Muller, the tools huff..huff.. you told me to carry huff..huff.. are too heavy."

Lukas Muller, a Young man in his thirties, yet he looks like he is in his late twenties. He and his apprentice Liam were hunting for some research specimens when they saw a bright light heading towards the Dragon Valley.

"You should have said so earlier, Liam."

"Don't forget, it was you who decided to carry all the equipment by yourself, remember?"

"Let us wait here for now so that you can catch your breath."

"here, drink some of this."

"It will help you decrease your fatigue."

"Thanks, huff..huff.. Doc."

"gulp..gulp."

"anyway, doc."

"Why are we heading towards the Dragon valley?"

"isn't it filled with Vicious Dragons?"

"Yes, I know, Liam."

"Why do you think I told you to bring My gear along with the tools,"

"And Besides, I have heard rumors that the Dragons Have started to leave the Valley."

"A recent survey of the area suggests, only a handful of them still live in the Valley."

"And the Intriguing part is, no one knows why?"

"Just recently, I was given a request form the Guild to investigate the valley for the same reason,"

"The Guild was very concerned about the current development,"

"They think that A new monster has taken refuge there,"

"But Doc, don't you think A monster that even the Dragons fear will be will be ever more Deadly,"

"I mean Dragons. They are no joke, even a juvenile can eradicate a small town within seconds, and you are saying that Dragons are leaving the valley because of a new monster."

"Exactly, as you said, Liam."

"I will be the one to investigate. you will be the one taking Notes here."

"I was planning to go there with a raiding party assigned by the guild but, the Light form earlier forced me to change my plan,"

"Anyways, hand me the other bag, will you."

An hour later, both Master and Pupal reach the site where the Light had vanished. The terrain was high and treacherous. Lukas asks Liam to wait At the bottom while he went on climbing the hilly slope.

"Hey, Doc!"

"Did you see anything yet?"

"Nothing yet, Liam!"

"Except for a crater and Fogg, nothing so far!"

While Lukas was looking around carefully, he saw something hidden underneath the thick mist.

"I think I see something!"

"Wow!"

"Is that a person?"

"Liam!"

"Come here!"

"quick!"
