Summary

Based on the latest chapters, a continuation

Do I have to wait another 2000 years for the next crimson dragon king to be reborn?

Zeno asked emotionlessly.

I.

Can't.

Take.

This.

Anymore.

"ZENO!" She had found him in her dreams, and she would find him in the next world. She
would take it up all upon her, because she wanted to be reunited with everyone, no matter
what future she would face.

"COME BACK! I'M COMING TO GET YOU!"

"Don't come closer."

"I won't," Yona said, edging towards him. "I went back in time and spoke to King Hiryuu
earlier, the original king. As his incarnation, I told him to not end the cycle, that I would find
you, and make sure you stayed with me."

"Why?"

"It was always -- it-- was always going to happen, Zeno! Zeno, didn't you--didn't you have
fun with everyone?"

"PRINCESS!"

Hak dove; Zeno struck him, and Hak fell in front of Yona's eyes... the same way her father
had died.

Yona couldn't believe what had just occurred. She collapsed to the ground.

"...Ha...h..."

She couldn't say it. His name.

His face, no longer full of color, eyes closed, blood pouring from his mouth.

Hak was... dead.

And the man who had stabbed right through him the whole time... the man who would kill
Hak...
It... was...

"Ze..."

"Little Miss, I warned you."

"Why..."

She could barely look up. The yellow dragon was no longer recognizable.

"Because it was all you. You were the reason that the cycle continued... all this time... huh?"

He looked at her with steel eyes; the same look Soo-Won had given her when she had lost her
father, when she had been about to die.

"And you could have ended it. By not existing, Little Miss."

A look of mercilessness, a look of hatred towards something out of her control.

"...B-but you... you just killed..."

Yona couldn't say it.

"HOW--" the sword was in Zeno's hands, and he edged to her.

She grasped at it, out of his clutches, and stabbed Zeno right in the heart.

"COULD YOU? YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HAK! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO
THIS!"

Yona stabbed him multiple times.

"I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS! YOU CAN'T KILL HIM! I WON'T EVER LET YOU!
YOU MONSTER!"

Zeno collapsed, clutching his bloody chest.

"Thank you... thank you, Miss..."

Words weren't coming from him. Nothing was making sense.

Two people were about to...

"I can finally die..."

Two bodies lay before Yona's feet. Two members of her family.

Both dead.

All of them were dead. Disappeared.

Surely Soo-Won was next. Soon, the Crimson Illness would take him too.

Yona was all now... all... alone.

Set to become the Queen... set to lead the troops.

She screamed.
