Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 107]

Haku asks what Yun meant by everyone is gone, and what’s going on. Flustered Yun says that he doesn’t know. “Shina suddenly went into a rebellious stage that he started causing trouble by chopping down the tent with a knife. He would even go laughing haha. Kija called for an emergency meeting. Then, Zeno collapsed that I.. I..” With a deadpan expression, Haku tells him to calm down because based on what he heard, it seems that they are having some sort of fun. Yona tells Yun to tell things in order. Yun says ya..Shina became very strange.. Flashback: Everyone is surprised when Shina suddenly stood up. Yun asked how come the paralysis didn’t take effect. Zeno wondered out loud what’s going on, is it possible that because Shina’s power doesn’t have an effect on him so the opposite reaction is also comparatively small. Jeha said that means if Shina fights against Zeno, the two would be a stalemate. Zeno told Jeha that is correct and even if Blue dragon’s power doesn’t have effect but if he doesn’t get seriously injured, then it will simply be a staring meeting. Kija is surprised when Shina emits a pressuring power. This made everyone have a headache except for Zeno. Zeno shouted for Shina to stop. Shina asked how come he can bear that kind of power. Zeno told him that he’s too inexperienced since it doesn’t have an effect on him..

To Zeno’s surprise, Shina suddenly took some rope and tied him up. Kija and Jeha can only call out to Zeno as Shina starts to carry Zeno off. Zeno said that he suddenly used this trick, and honestly, he doesn’t have any trick if Shina do this kind of thing because he is very weak. “Hey, I don’t mind a bit if you want to viciously chop me down with a sword, okay? Hey- where are you going? It is forbidden to lend Zeno out.” Yun groaned in pain. End flashback. Yun tells the two that he lost consciousness afterwards and when he woke up, Kija and Jeha had also disappeared since he didn’t see them around. “I totally do not know what to do, I.. If I go and look for them, perhaps Yona and Haku would have returned at that time so what to do.. So, for the meantime, I cooked food and waited for the two of you to come back.” He holds a bowl of cooked rice. Yona claps and says that no wonder it is Yun. Haku comments that he is a model mother. Yun shouts that he isn’t a mother. Yona tells Yun to cheer up for look, she got a bear for him. It seems to be a bear cub. Yun lamely says that she really hunted for a bear. Haku says that in short, they know that the current situation is very bad. Yona says that it isn’t a small issue for Shina to use his power. Yun says that even if it seems that Shina isn’t aware of it but he took away Zeno. But because he lost consciousness, he doesn’t know where they went. Yona says that perhaps the others chased after them so they have to quickly catch up to them.

Yun tells them to wait, he will quickly make some onigiri [packed rice ball] that they can bring with them. Haku tells him to give it up, his way of thinking has become like a mother’s. While walking in the forest, Yona is calling out to the two dragons. Haku asks if he can say some bad words about White Snake. Yun asks why. Haku says that it is because he felt that if Kija hears those bad words, no matter what situation is, he will have an unyielding fighting spirit and do his best to come back. Haku explains that Kija has already gotten used to being called ‘White Snake’ and right now, Kija always calmly answers him. Yun agrees with him but what about Jeha. Haku says that if he said bad words about Jeha, it would be like praising Jeha. Yun comments that illness is serious. Then, Yona sees unconscious Ao on the ground near a tree. Haku says that Shina’s mask is also dropped here. Carrying Ao, Yona tries calling it but there is no response. She worriedly asks what to do for Ao won’t move. Yun says, eating time!! Ao suddenly sits up. Yona exclaims that Yun is amazing for Ao has revived. Yun tells her that if one wants to wake up Ao, just say eat or perhaps, acorn and that will do it. Yona asks Ao if he knows where Shina is. Then, Haku notices the beheaded dragon statue. While he and Yun check it out, Haku notices some stairs leading downstairs. They find it weird and wonder what’s below. Yona says that Shina and the others might have gone inside. Haku tells her to wait and he’ll make some fire.

Soon, Haku heads down and Yona follows. Yona says that it is very deep and she doesn’t know where it will lead. Still outside the door, Yun heard some sound at the side. He turns towards the noise and mentions it to Yona about it when Yona suddenly calls out to him. Yun is surprised that the door is closing. After some panic, Yun throws down something to her. It is an onigiri. And, the door totally closes. Outside, Yun wonders what to do for everyone is shut down below. Haku tries to push the door open but it won’t budge. Yona suggests that they go inside for perhaps they can find a way out there and besides, it is possible that they’ll find Shina and the others.. Haku says that it is obviously that there is a possibility that they are caught which is a very bad situation so how can she be so calm. Yona says that it is because just now, Yun threw the onigiri at her so instead of becoming anxious, she wants to laugh out first. “Besides, with Haku at my side, I’m not afraid of anything.” After a pause, Haku asks if she can repeat what she said one more time. Yona repeats about Yun throwing the onigiri. Haku interrupts by saying about that, he already knows it, ah, forget it, it doesn’t matter. Yona blushes and think that she said some strange things a while ago. Then, her vision becomes a bit fuzzy. To Haku’s surprise, Yona falls unconscious. Haku calls out to her but there is no response. He is relieved that she is still breathing. He curses for what is going on and the entrance won’t open. He looks at Yona and thinks that right now, he can only go search for those guys inside that place.

Meanwhile, Kija and Jeha try to destroy a wall using their punch and kick but it didn’t break. Jeha comments that it won’t break even if they used their power but then, on the other side, they can sense Shina and Zeno. Kija suggests that they look for some other route for it is already certain that those two are here and they’ll definitely get those two out of here. Jeha says that he knows but could it be that there is no other route aside from this one. There are some black figures with eyes crawling out of the path, the wall and the ground. Kija asks what the matter is. Aghast Jeha asks doesn’t he see those things. Holding his hand up his eyes, Kija asks where, where is it. Aghast Jeha asks if he’s the only one who can see it though before, he can vaguely see it. Kija kept on asking what he can see. With a black figure on his shoulder, Jeha says that they are heavily pressuring down his shoulder that it give him a rotten mood. Kija asks if it is the same feeling when they confronted Shina. Jeha asks if he really doesn’t feel anything. Kija says that right now, there is nothing. Jeha says that he feels that if he relaxes his mind a bit, he’ll lose consciousness. Kija tells him to relax for if that happens, he’ll use his dragon hand to give him a sturdy punch. Jeha says that before he loses consciousness, he might lose his life first. Then, Kija notices a crawling centipede. He freaks out over it and asks Jeha to hit it.

Jeha says that with Kija around, he doesn’t have the free time to lose consciousness. Then, the centipede went behind a skull. Kija shouts that it hid behind the skull. Jeha comments that he should be shock over the skull. He wonders out loud if that will also be what will happen to them in the future. Based on the sword near the skeleton, they think that it is from a far off era and perhaps, there was a dispute there. Holding a mask, Jeha says that doesn’t this look familiar. Kija says that it is indeed similar with Shina’s mask. At that other room, the black figures are crawling all over Zeno when he suddenly wakes up with a start. He exclaims that unexpectedly there are many of them here. He notices Shina and calls out to him as Blue Dragon before correcting himself that he is someone similar with Blue Dragon. ‘Shina’ says that he is Blue Dragon and he is Yellow dragon, he knows because they are both dragons. Zeno says it turns out to be like that, the one in Shina’s body is a departed spirit of an ancient times’ Blue Dragon. He felt it since he can use Shina’s power and this place is a former site of the Blue Dragon’s village. ‘Shina’ says that is right, and besides that, it is the tomb where the souls of the past Blue Dragons have their eternal rest. Zeno says that even if it is a mishap but it is triggered by the current Blue Dragon so he apologizes to him on Shina’s behalf and it is almost time for them to bring Shina back.

‘Shina’ says how it can be a mishap. The dragons here who are in eternal rest, have always been oppressed and trampled. They always want to go above ground, throw away their mask, and be free. Free to control this power and the greatest vessel has finally arrived!! And, this is fate. Grabbing Zeno’s hair, ‘Shina’ says that Zeno’s body seems to be very special and it will be a vessel that can be given to them. Zeno says okay. And, the past Blue Dragons reach out for him. Zeno opens his eyes and says but, it is still better to give it up. This surprises ‘Shina’. Zeno explains that for several times, and for hundred times, his heart got stabbed and his body got chopped up into pieces, for hundreds and thousands of years, he pondered on how to destroy himself. Even if he already couldn’t remember but he had already got himself scattered and smashed. If he can give it to him, then he can take it but his life is a monster, and he is afraid that even if this world disappears, he will also definitely not die. The black figures back away. ‘Shina’ asks if he is telling them that they cannot bear the burden of having the Yellow Dragon’s body. Zeno sadly smiles. Then, ‘Shina’ looks at the side and says that there are four people who infiltrated inside. It is White Dragon and Green Dragon, and a couple of humans. They are advancing towards this side, and those people are comparatively easier to take over.  

Comment: And, my ‘Black Dragon theory’ goes kaput. It turns out to be just some Blue Dragon spirits who have grudges over the awful lives. Since Zeno hinted on the possibility that Yona will free him from his ‘power/curse’, maybe those spirits will finally have peace and move on if they saw Yona, Hiryuu’s reincarnation. But then, since they have grudges, they might actually attack Yona for giving them such an accursed life. ^^; And, she probably fainted from the ill-will. And, I’m wondering what are the chances that they’ll go tomb hunting later on for the White and Green dragons so that they can all ‘move on’ as part of Yona’s goal here as Hiryuu. ^^;; And, she’ll be Yona the exorcist. =P And, if it is Blue Dragon vs Yellow Dragon, Blue Dragon wins. Apparently, this guy isn’t that stupid and maybe, Zeno should have asked the others to slice and chop him down instead. ^^; Yona revealed a bit about how Haku is her strength but she seems still clueless about why she said it. Hm..I guess since Kija is pure and stuff like what Zeno mentioned, so he cannot see the grudge spirits, unlike Jeha. I do wonder how exactly they possess people. Was it like what that spirit is doing to Jeha? Trying to make him fall unconscious then possess him? So, was Yona already possessed? But then, they don’t seem to have an effect on Kija. And, why does it seem that Zeno implied that if they possessed him, they can no longer get out of his body? And, based on what the ancestor is saying, it seems that Blue Dragons can use their power while inside someone else’s body. As if, the power is built-in within the soul rather than on the body. And, he seems to imply that they are going to wreak havoc above ground for they want to freely use their power. It will be interesting if the others can have their own powers plus Blue Dragon’s power. And, I almost hope that it was Suwon and others who made that noise that distracted Yun. What would happen if Suwon and others go down below, too. =P I guess this is a ‘rest-goofing around-comedy’ arc after a serious arc since I’m also making up some silly theories ^^; Anyway, the last part of this three part arc will come out after a month from now...

We all need a sense of humor! The ability to laugh at yourself is a great asset. He who can’t laugh at his own mistakes, or take those of others with a sense of humor, has too severe a sense of life. ‘Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
