The Fated Souls of the Blue Dragon

Description

Brief Summary: During the Dark Dragon and Happy Hungry Bunch's adventures, Shin-ah meets Lin while out scouting the area. Shin-Ah can't help but stare at the beauty named Lin as she flings him across the yard, when his blood boils once more and he doesn't know what's happening. Confusion and dramatic retellings ensue withn the bunch of dragons and romance develops between two awkward strangers, who were fated to meet in order to unlock the Blue Dragon's power of protection. Together, they share the same goal of protecting the Crimson Dragon but emotions get in the way and the lifespan of the current Blue Dragon hangs in the balance. 

Genre: Fluff, Action, Romance, bit of angst (because tragic backstory of Shin-ah), Fantasy

Ships: Shin-ah X OC, Hak X Yona 

 

Characters: 

OC: Lin is the cousin of the current General of the Fire Tribe who was distant friends with Princess Yona several years ago. She is the fated other half of the Blue Dragon who has to unite, whatever that means, with the current Blue Dragon, Shin-ah. She's described as rather fiesty and direct by those who first meet her, but the death of her parents at a young age and medical condition have caused her to mature beyond her age. She easily empathises with the people she meets and has a real heart and determination to make a change. She was prophecied for incredible changes but is held back by her own demons.

Shin-Ah: The current blue dragon, in this story he is the same as he is in the Manga, Yona of the Dawn. He's slowly learning social norms after being exiled away from society in the blue dragon village where he lived in a cave and only had a squirrel named Ao as his friend. 

All other characters in the fanfic are from Yona of The Dawn including the way they act, I tried my best to profile the characters based on the manga works but I may get it slightly off sometimes. 

Foreword

The scene starts off right as the team heads back from the sudden war between the Fire Tribe and Kai Empire where they are welcomed into the castle of the Fire Tribe General. 

 

Author comments: Hello everyone, i'm excited to start writing fanfic again as my otaku self has been revived after watching Yona of The Dawn (should really check it out on Youtube if you haven't already), But while I waitf or the next few chapters of the manga to be released, I decided to expand the story myself based on a seperate character arc of an original charcter and Shin-ah. I liked how the author of Yona of the Dawn created the backstory of the original dragons and wanted to stem it from there. I also wanted to create another strong female character within the group, someone to help Yona during her current emotional crisis with Hak. I really appreacite the level of detail the authors put into the mange and anime and wanted to convey that here too.

For example: Lin uses a kyoketsu shoge which looks like the one in the picture below. With some background research, I learnt that it means "to run about the fields and mountains" and I felt that it tied in with Shin-ah's character arc nicely as he is slowly transitioning from being captive in a cave to running around with his arms open in the world. It also fits into Lin character arc of wanting to help the farming of the fire tribe and learning their way.

If you want to see how this is used in combat, these were my source materials:

I wanted Shin-ah to get a love interest and also a mentor for his powers that would help him move on from Ao. So I decided that an OC that was some form of destined match would suffice. I wanted to go for the vibe of us against the world but more constructively in the form of, we're in this together and i'm the only one who gets you and will go through it with you. I personally also really like Shin-ah as a character as his backstory is rather unheard of and would be interesting to play around, given his extremely kind nature and personality. I feel like this story would be rather slow-pace because I like those sorts of story where the build-up happens. I also wanted a relatable female character who would cut through some of the bs that has been done by characters in the series that weren't really called out.
