White Ghost flew briefly—
Then saw him.
A fat, messy-haired man collapsed like a corpse.
Beside him lay a dinosaur-like creature.
White Ghost smiled.
"Found you."
"Miskina Ahiye."
He landed.
"…Father?"
Olga tore free and ran.
She shook him violently.
"Wake up!"
White Ghost watched, amused.
Earlier she said let him die. Now look at her.
He tapped the man lightly.
Ahiye groaned.
Then opened his eyes.
"…Olga?"
SMACK.
He slapped himself.
Pain.
Real.
"OLGA—!"
He hugged her fiercely, sobbing.
"My daughter…!"
Olga grimaced.
"Annoying…"
But she didn't pull away.
White Ghost coughed.
"Ahem."
Ahiye snapped upright.
"Oh! Sorry!"
He bowed deeply.
"Thank you for saving my daughter!"
White Ghost waved him off.
"I know who you are. I know why you're here."
"…Pure gold."
White Ghost nodded.
Ahiye handed it over, desperate.
White Ghost felt it instantly.
His metabolism—
Stopped.
So it really works.
He stored it calmly.
"Your daughter's disease can already be cured."
Both froze.
"…What?"
"Two hundred years passed. There's medicine now."
He pointed toward the ship.
"One injection."
Ahiye trembled.
"…What do you want?"
White Ghost smiled.
"You stay on my ship."
"I need a scientist."
"…Yes, Captain."
Olga lowered her head.
"…There's more gold," Ahiye admitted weakly.
"In the Lantern Lord's lamp."
White Ghost blinked.
"I cut that off earlier."
Silence.
Ahiye retrieved his research notes.
White Ghost nodded.
"Good."
Golden scales erupted.
He transformed.
A dragon filled the cavern.
He grabbed them both—and the lizard—
And flew out.
