As Dorian grabbed the Heart Stone to bring it back, it suddenly lit up and sent a blast straight to Dorian's left eye.

Dorian did not retreat after being attacked by the heart stone. He just closed the left eye that was attacked by the heart stone. Even though his left eye was painful after being attacked by the heart stone, he held the heart stone tightly.

He knew how important the heart stone was. If he lost it, his father would be punished and possibly lose his life for losing the heart stone! He didn't want to see that happen.

But he could not resist the power of the Heart Stone, which seemed to have been carried down not by the spirit that had suddenly appeared, but by itself, as if something had drawn it and led it down.

# Dorian (as a child) "Ah --"

Finally, the path forest, who has just learned magic for a short time, of course can not fight against the powerful and mysterious magic of the heart stone, is brought into the bottom of the Tan by the heart stone...

"Dorian!

Gray and Morikawa left only two people worry about the voice echoed in this huge heart stone storage room.

After Dorian was carried to the bottom of the Tan by the heart stone, a white light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes. Unconsciously, Dorian closed his uninjured eye together.

When the light had passed, he opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the pool, but in... On shore?

His eye, which had been stinging from the heart stone attack, no longer hurt.

"By the way, where's the heart stone?"

Dorian realized that the heart stone he had been holding tightly was no longer in his hand. He got up from the ground and looked around in panic, trying to find the missing heart stone.

But found that not far from him stood a little girl with red hair and double ponytail, and the heart stone was held in the hands of the girl.

When she looked at him, her eyes were full of curiosity and excitement instead of the vigilance and fear that most people have when they meet strangers.
