Chapter 62.1
Orc Hero Story
With a snap, Eye woke up.
What? I didn’t die…? She was supposed to be dead. The sword of the green human should have decapitated her. The body of a Newt was more fragile than that of a dragon. How is it possible that she didn’t die? What? Are my wounds healed? She looked and saw that her body, covered in lacerations, was clean. Her claws were still in bad shape, but the wounds on her fingertips and the holes in her wings had disappeared. Furthermore, her crushed eye and the wounds on her neck had healed. …Was it a dream? If so, it was a terrifying dream then. She dreamt that a green human suddenly came to her nest, beat her up, and was about to kill her. In the end, he cornered her and brandished his sword to finish her off. He was a terrifying human. Oh, her heart pounded just remembering it… She was ashamed to say that she even used Newt in her dreams. She had never done such a thing. However, when she woke up, she realized that it was just a dream. Because it was impossible for such a human to exist.
“Hm, you’re awake.”
“Biip!” Upon hearing that voice, Eye made a strange noise and tensed up. When she realized, he was right in front of her. It was the green human! It wasn’t a dream!
“Are you cold? Are you hungry? Do you want to drink water?” The green human crouched right in front of the tense Eye and gently wrapped her in the fur he had been carrying, offering her warm water and what seemed to be food. She looked back and forth between the food and the green human, confused. She didn’t know what to do. “Won’t you eat?”
However, with those words, Eye immediately took a bite of the food. Maybe it was because she thought he would kill her if she didn’t do what he said.
“…”
The food was unexpectedly delicious as the green human watched her. Maybe it was because she was hungry, but Eye devoured all the food in an instant. The amount wasn’t enough for a dragon, but it was enough for the smaller body of a Newt.
