Instead of finding respite, he is quickly entangled in an old promise to wed a local god! Rin, the water dragon god to whom Chiharu has been betrothed, can be disarmingly friendly and charming, but inside lurks an animalistic ferocity. Can Chiharu escape Rin's protective embrace, or is his fate already written?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChiharu's journey back to his hometown was not what he expected. He had hoped to find some peace and quiet to recharge his creative energies, but instead, he found himself trapped in an old promise he had made to marry a local god. The god in question was Rin, the water dragon god.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRin was a charming and friendly creature, but Chiharu could sense a darkness lurking beneath his surface. He had heard stories about Rin's animalistic tendencies and was wary of getting too close. However, Chiharu was drawn to Rin, and he found himself unable to resist his allure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs time passed, Chiharu grew closer to Rin, and he began to see the beauty in him. Rin was kind and gentle, and he had a deep love for the world around him. He showed Chiharu a side of himself that he had never seen before, and Chiharu felt a sense of belonging that he had never experienced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as Chiharu's feelings for Rin grew stronger, so did Rin's animalistic tendencies. He became more and more protective of Chiharu, and he would often lash out in anger if he felt that Chiharu was in danger. Chiharu tried to talk to Rin about his concerns, but Rin would always dismiss them, saying that he was doing what was necessary to protect his beloved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day, Chiharu's worst fears came true. Rin attacked a group of villagers who had been disrespecting the natural world. Chiharu was horrified by Rin's actions and felt that he had lost everything. He tried to confront Rin, but Rin was too powerful, and Chiharu was forced to flee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChiharu was lost and alone, and he didn't know what to do. He felt that he had betrayed Rin by running away, and he didn't know if he would ever be able to forgive himself. But then, something strange happened. Rin appeared before him, and he apologized for his actions. He told Chiharu that he had been consumed by his animalistic tendencies and that he didn't know what he was doing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChiharu was skeptical at first, but he could see the sincerity in Rin's eyes. He realized that Rin was not a monster, but a creature who was struggling with his own demons. Chiharu decided to stay with Rin and help him overcome his animalistic tendencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was not an easy journey, but Chiharu was determined to help Rin. He spent countless hours with Rin, teaching him about the importance of respecting the natural world and the importance of compassion. Rin slowly began to change, and he became more and more like the gentle and kind creature that Chiharu had fallen in love with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears passed, and Chiharu and Rin lived happily together. They traveled the world, helping people and spreading the message of love and compassion. Rin had finally overcome his animalistic tendencies, and he was a better person for it. Chiharu was proud of Rin and grateful for the journey that had brought them together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, Chiharu realized that his journey back to his hometown had been more than just a forced marriage to a dragon god. It had been a journey of self-discovery and growth, and it had led him to the love of his life. He knew that he would never forget Rin, and he was grateful for the lessons that he had learned from him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 183 x 128 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781974734153\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meguru Hinohara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44284365537530,"sku":"9781974734153","price":7.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1686925208194_book.jpg?v=1687006500","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-dragons-betrothed-vol-1-9781974734153","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
