This dragon eats memories
The world’s last dragon survives only by devouring the memories of the one he loves most—forgetting her completely after every meal. A hundred times, Elara has made him fall in love with her all over again through snowy nights, forged identities, and staged meetings just to keep him alive, only to watch him become a stranger every single time. She thought she was trapped in an unbreakable curse, until she uncovers the devastating truth: buried behind all his forgetting lies a cruel secret about herself.
Story Guide
Episode 1
A wounded dragon wakes to a stranger's hands on him, and his first instinct is violence. Elara has just pulled Kale back from the brink, bandaging his arm and refusing to let the stone take him — but the moment his eyes open, he orders her to back off, demanding to know who gave her permission to touch him. She tells him her name. He has no memory of her at all.
"Take one more step and you die," he warns. Elara doesn't flinch. For the hundredth time, the man she loves has looked straight through her, and she's still standing there, hoping this time will be different.
Episode 2
Mirror has had enough. Elara went after Kale again, and he nearly killed her — again. "He's a heartless monster," Mirror says. Elara's answer is quiet and unshakable: even if he forgets her a hundred times, she will make him fall in love with her again.
Her plan is reckless. She'll forge documents to get close to him, and Mirror warns that his petrification could relapse without new warm memories — he won't survive the winter. Meanwhile, watching from the fog, Lilith and her allies see an opportunity: a dragon's devouring power is the key to immortality, and they intend to force him to consume Elara's last memories in the mistwood.
Episode 3
Elara walks straight into dragon territory with a forged story: a scholar from the empire who stumbled through a stone door while searching for lost artifacts. Kale doesn't believe a word, yet something in him stirs — a feeling he's seen her somewhere before. He tells her to leave and never come back.
Aldrik finds her and delivers a colder truth. Kale's soul is riddled with holes; every time he forgets, he moves closer to annihilation. Her hundred rescues are only false prolonging. If she can't break the cycle, the next forgetting will extinguish both their souls. The truth of the wish she once made waits in the deepest ruins — but what was that wish?
Episode 4
Kale insists he remembers nothing, yet his body betrays him — his soul trembles at Elara's warmth. She takes it as proof that some part of him still knows her. He warns her to stay away or be turned to ash. "You're just scared," she tells him. "This isn't pity, it's love."
Their standoff breaks when a bleeding woman begs for help, and Kale moves to save her. Elara stops him: the woman reeks of dark magic, and there's no scent of blood. It's an illusion. The trap is sprung, and for the first time, Kale has to decide whether to trust the stranger he can't remember.
Episode 5
The enemy reveals the trick: southern puppet arts, built with a soul as their core, untouchable by ordinary blades. A taunting voice tells Kale that the last dragon's instincts are sharp, but not sharp enough. Then comes the order: devour the woman beside you, and you'll be free.
The array tears into Kale's mind. Every time Elara comes close, it hurts; he doesn't know who she is anymore. "Consume her," the voice urges. "Devour her, and you'll be free of this pain." Elara refuses to run, even as the thing closes in. "I am not leaving you. We survive this together."
Episode 6
The fight turns ugly fast. A blade comes too quickly to dodge, and Kale throws himself between it and Elara — "Get away from her." The strike lands on him instead.
Elara sees the wound and the truth in it immediately: poison, spreading. Kale tells her not to touch him, but she isn't listening. This poison is different, wrong in a way she can't name yet. She hauls him up anyway and drags him toward a hidden cave nearby, because staying in the open means dying, and she has already decided he doesn't get to die today.
Episode 7
Inside the cave, Elara burns an herb to suppress the poison and tells Kale not to move. He watches her cry and feels something stab through his chest — why does her pain hurt him? Were they close before? She lies and says no, just hallucination from the venom. He doesn't buy it. "My soul is telling me it doesn't want to forget you."
She's heard that before, and every time, he forgets her completely. Outside, the enemy closes in, certain the dark venom has already finished him. The net is set, the exit guarded. They only have to wait.
Episode 8
Elara tries to get Kale back toward town, but the venom is eating his strength. He begs her to leave him behind so he won't get her killed. She refuses flatly — and then Lilith arrives, mocking her for stealing the dragon as prey.
The bloodstone array slams down, and Lilith moves to rip out Kale's dragon core, which would destroy him completely. Elara throws herself into the barrier's path, holding it back by sheer refusal to move. Kale can't understand it: why would she go this far for him? "This time," she tells him, "let me protect you."
Episode 9
The mortals' stand ends with Elara broken on the ground, and Kale's control shatters with it. His power surges wrong — the array was supposed to suppress it, and now the enemy scrambles to reinforce the spell and seal his soul. They retreat, so close and still empty-handed.
Kale catches Elara as her body gives out, begging her not to leave him. If this is the price of fate, he'll pay everything. She tells him to consume her memories right now and live. And in that instant, he finally understands how he keeps forgetting her — and swears he won't again.
Episode 10
Elara holds Kale as he fades, telling him they'll meet again, and offers everything: if forgetting keeps him alive, then take all of it — every memory of them.
He wakes with no idea who she is. "Who are you? Why are you here?" A weak mortal has no business in these ruins. Elara accepts it the way she always has, because it's been so many times already.
Then Aldrik appears. She made it here after all. "Elara," he says, "come on, it's time you knew the truth."
