The Seven Dragons
Not Dreams

"Huhffl..."

Srekkk srekk!

Taking a rough breath, Oregon sat by the river. Then clean his clothes and body. From dust and dirt that sticks. Some blood has also dried up.

Feeling sticky with sweat and dried blood, Oregon finally took off its clothes.

The byurrr!

He went into the clear flowing river, to bathe and wash his clothes. More comfortable when worn again.

Tecipak...

The sound of river water used by Oregon, became the center of attention of some animals around the place.

There are an_jing forest, antelope and some birds that come noisy. Because they feel disturbed by the presence and activities carried out by Oregon in the river.

Slupp...

Oregon's hearing caught the slithering animal, which is currently eyeing it. The animal was swimming in the river.

Quickly, Oregon jumped out from within the stream. "Hap!"

The drap!

As fast as lightning, Oregon was already by the river. By sharpening his sense of sight and hearing. Not to be caught off guard from distress, by the presence of animals. Which could be, the animal is very dangerous, so it threatens his safety.

It turns out that Oregon's estimate didn't miss.

The animal that was heard swimming and approaching the place where the bath, is a cobra snake. Which is up to three meters long. With her neck in perfect bloom. Showing a beauty wrapped in horror.

The cobra saw Oregon, shocked by its appearance. In fact, Oregon took a few steps back, to avoid it.

"Go cobra snake. I'm not going to hurt you, but you should also leave immediately. Because I want to take a shower for a while. Let go of the tiredness I feel."

The cobra stayed in place, then stuck its tongue out at Oregon.

Of course Oregon retreated again, for fear that the cobra would spout its venom. That would make his body paralyzed and unable to move.

But it turns out that Oregon's guess is wrong.

The cobra snake, actually lowered his head, after his neck shriveled aka not blooming again. In fact, his attitude showed that, he wanted to be treated by Oregon.

At first Oregon was still hesitant, when the cobra snake was soft in front of him. He remained vigilant, as it could be, it was a deceptive attitude. Because after that, the cobra snake could have easily attacked him.

But it didn't. The cobra kept its head down, so slowly, Oregon's hand touched the snake's head with its hand.

Thank you, Mister. You are our Master.

Oregon was stunned for a moment, hearing the word cobra. But he couldn't believe it, if it was the cobra that was talking to him.

I'm the cobra snake that's in front of you. Continue the journey, sir. All the animals in this mountain region, no one would dare to hurt you.

Hearing the words of the cobra again, Oregon narrowed its eyes. He could not believe what he was hearing and seeing right now.

'How can I hear the words of this cobra? Am I dreaming or hallucinating? what exactly am I already in another realm, dead from being bitten by snakes?'

Oregon actually thinks the no-no, with what he is experiencing at this time.

But it is only natural that Oregon cannot believe what is currently happening to it. Because all this time, he had never heard an animal talk to him. Although some of his days were in the forest, which was behind his house.

Over time, Oregon's eyes were tightly closed. It was as if he was being denina_bobokan cobra snake.

By the time he woke up, he was clean. With his clothes that he was washing and he had not been able to dry.

'Am I dreaming?'

'But why is it so real? And this...this, the wounds I have no more?'

Oregon was of course shocked, seeing his unharmed body. Because before he took a bath in the river, his body had some injuries. Both new and dry wounds.

But everything is now invisible.

His body seemed to have never suffered any injuries. Even his body felt fresher and lighter.

"Hahhh... What really happened to me? Couldn't it be if I was just dreaming?" muttered Oregon all by herself. And even more surprisingly, there were several scales of cobra snakes, which he had met nearby sitting at this moment.

"So..Everything I've been through wasn't a dream?" Oregon again asked, holding some of the scales of the cobra.

And now, when the scales of the cobra snake he held, it turned into a small knife, which looked soft. Not the same as knives of iron metal in general.

Armed with a strong belief, Oregon finally kept the soft knife.

"I'll use it in a desperate situation."

Afterwards, Oregon stood up and patted her own hands. Take a deep breath, then continue on his way again. Heading to the top of the volcano, which still remains the same. It let out a strange sound, with thick smoke covering its peak.

*****

The journey to the top of the volcano feels easier, compared to yesterday. Before he met the cobra snake in the river.

His body felt lighter, as he climbed a cliff and jumped to one place to another. Because of the rocks or the river.

Oregon really felt a striking change after everything she experienced yesterday. Because none of the animals he met on his trip this time.

'It turns out that something the cobra said was true. I can get there faster if it goes on like this.'

And moments later, Oregon could already see the top of the volcano that looked covered in thick smoke. There was not even any visible land or part of the top of the mountain, except for the thick origin that covered it.

With extreme caution, Oregon walked down a road that looked like embers.

What Oregon treads is no longer land, but embers, because this is near the top of the volcano.

"It's this hot, but why don't my feet feel the heat?"

"My feet are the same as stepping on ordinary ground. Just like at home."

Not to mention Oregon's shock at the state of the land he poked, he was again surprised by the blaring voice in front of him.

"Who are you! How dare I come to this place. Do you want to die?"

Oregon wagged its hands, expelling the thick smoke in front of it. Which obstructs the eye.

Oregon's shock grew again, when he saw a large dragon snake, which wrapped around the stalactites in the crater of this volcano.

But even more surprising is, the dragon is human-headed. With a face that is not unfamiliar to Oregon itself.

"Who are you?"
