Chapter 26
The breathtaking scenery of Kangcheon highlighted the ethereal blue haze, giving it an otherworldly radiance.
Beyond the hidden peaks of the city walls, it is said that a woman waits to greet wanderers.
Her hair, the color of faded stone, seemed to capture divine energy, while her violet eyes reflected a serene horizon.
The figure of this woman, clad in a flowing robe, was often described as a living embodiment of a mythical spirit.
This was the ancient legend passed down in Solum—the tale of the guardian of the plains, who had lived for over 800 years.
Nicknamed the "Ancient Serpent of the Plains," she now roamed the earth wrapped in blankets, moving slowly, her steps heavy with age.
“So sleepy… endlessly sleepy…”
Once a hero who had brought an end to an age of chaos alongside a king.
*Srrk.*@@novelbin@@
Once a provider, a nurturing figure to starving villages, wandering from one barren land to another.
And yet, history had forgotten her.
Abandoned by humankind.
She had been cast aside, eventually fading into obscurity, now reduced to an old relic—a forgotten "Imoogi of the Plains," Byakhyang.
An eternal, undying cherry blossom—unable to wilt, unable to truly live.
What do you think?
