TBML 20
With trembling hands, Yeon brushed the leaves off his leg and let out a sigh of relief, his face twisted in pain. At least the bottom of his trousers wasn’t soaked in blood. He untied the cloth wrapped around his ankle and rolled up his pants to check it. It was hard to see clearly in the dark, but the pale skin of his leg was discolored at the ankle, swollen and dark. It didn’t look good. Yeon’s expression darkened like the sky above. There was no way he could make it down a rainy mountain at…-

Was Ja-oh trying to exact revenge on the human in the black tiger’s place? Struck once by the tiger, the crow grew more unruly, as though offended that a mere crow had been hit. If he could have, he would’ve jabbed his beak into the unconscious Yeon’s throat without hesitation. The crow’s endless tantrum grew so tiresome that the tiger didn’t even bother lifting a paw anymore. Instead, he began waving his tail back and forth like a fan. He swept it widely across Yeon’s face to block…-

The crow landed squarely on the black tiger’s head, but it didn’t fold its wings right away. Instead, it flapped them as if smacking the tiger’s head with each beat. With eyes blacker than the darkened forest around them, the crow blinked slowly and stared at the human the tiger had rescued. Rumble— a sound like a tiger’s growl rolled through the sky. The thick scent of the old leopard’s blood gradually faded, replaced by the damp stench of soaked earth. Tap. Drip-drip-drip. A…-

At the thunderous roar that seemed to command the entire mountain, the deer jerked their heads up, ears twitching. Though their mouths continued to chew the grass and their nostrils flared toward the sky in alarm at the thunder, they sensed no real danger from the natural sound. Now. Yeon held his breath—one, two, three. Just as he was about to release his fingers from the bowstring, the deer suddenly bolted in every direction, all at once slipping from his aim. It happened in a flash—too fast…-

TBML 16
Yeon’s feet sank deep into the thick pile of fallen leaves, soft as snow, but he pressed his lips together tightly and stepped lightly, yet with force. Having set out early, he planned to go farther than usual today. His heart was anxious—his coin pouch had run dry from the frequent visits of those debt collectors who came to snatch up what little he had. It was then that a passing hunter had shared news: not a tiger with long stripes, but a beast with rounded, spot-like markings had been seen in…-

“Just a little farther down, and we’ll reach the path. Just hold on a bit longer, sir.” Despite his words, Yeon bit down on regret, chewing it over in his mind. He’d gone and made trouble for himself again. All because Hyeon-hak had been sprawled near the tiger snare, and because his face looked younger than expected. Blood may not have tied them, but like father like son—whenever Yeon saw a cast-off child, his sleeves rolled up on their own. Even if the scholar had lost his wits, maybe…-
