Memory 6

[backstory]

Memory Six
( Chapter 132 & 133 )

Things to Note:
- All names have been redacted, but dragon titles are intact, so people can hear "Seiryuu" and Hakuryuu", etc.
- Everything should be from Leviathan's perspective. Any scene that he is not in should be considered absent from the memory.
- The memory ends abruptly after he loses consciousness.

Summary:

- Leviathan and friends leave a tent to go shopping for ingredients and head into town. There, people are lively and the street food looks inviting and delicious. There seems to be increased security all around, however.

- Seiryuu warns Hakuryuu that someone has been watching them. When he turns to in the direction he's warned not to make eye contact but it's too late. That person rushes over there quickly, coming nearly nose to nose with Hakuryuu. Suddenly he's asked a very serious question...! How does he maintain his skin? He's also asked shortly after how he maintains his hair, and much to the stranger's frustration, Leviathan tells him he does nothing and simply washes with water.

- It seems the conversation is going alright until the stranger comments that he'd like to see their abilities. At this point, they look for a way to exit the conversation and leave but are suddenly interrupted when another stranger comes flying out of nowhere and nearly removes Ouryuu's head. Seiryuu manages to save him, but the new stranger blows their cover, revealing that they are the 'Monsters of Kouka Kingdom'.

- The townspeople murmur about the individuals present-- apparently called 'The Five Stars' and everyone becomes restless, backing away from the 'monsters'. The violent stranger proclaims once more that Ouryuu is immortal and moves to attack him once more, but Hakuryuu has had enough. His claw expands, blocking him entirely, and with a swat sends the man flying to the ground. Everyone begins to scream that it's the 'White Monster Of Kouka', and that they had been spotted staying with princess ******.

- Once grasping the situation the man who originally asked about skincare goes on the offense and immediately attacks Ryokuryuu. Ryokuryuu dodges while the others go on guard. The stranger proclaims that they must have come to the country to destroy them under the orders of King *******. Realizing the situation, Ryokuryuu tells them all that they mustn't fight back because any move they make will be seen as an act of war.

- The stranger continues to attack Ryokuryuu, who tries to explain that they aren't there to harm anyone, but he isn't believed. At the same time nearby, the other man attempts to attack Ouryuu again. Seeing this, Ryokuryuu's attention is distracted for just a moment. Hakuryuu tries to warn him to look out, but there's no time for any other action. He throws himself in the way to absorb the blow. It strikes hard across the head, shoulder, and chest, and almost at once, everything goes black.

Commentary:

- Apparently, they are in another country
- Kouka seems to be on the brink of war
- People outside of Kouka Kingdom are aware of the dragons
- One of these people knew about Ouryuu's power
- That al kind of sucked

Effects: Mostly just lets him know that there are some major political tensions. And it looks like the dragons are in a difficult position due to that.
