Yona and the gang head to a hot springs hotel, where they are greeting by the owner, an old women who always dozes off. Later on, Jae-Ha wonders why Kija has not entered the men's bath, discovering that Kija has a scar on his back shaped like claw marks and coming to the conclusion that the previous white dragon warrior scarred Kija's back. Jae-Ha does all he can to distract Hak while Kija washes up at a well. However, Kija exposes his back in front of his friends because a spider crawled down his back, and Jae-Ha painfully disposes of the spider. It is revealed that when Kija was born, he was attacked by his father, who was the predecessor. Kija was only allowed to see his father under supervision. When his father fell ill, Kija visited him alone, noticing that his father's dragon's claw turned into a human hand, and Kija embraced his father before he died. The next day, Yona and the gang leave the hot springs hotel and continue their travels.

The gang has a drinking competition around the campfire, in which Jae-Ha eventually wins by default. During that night Yona almost tell Hak that she likes him.

Gu-En is the first white dragon warrior, Abi the first blue dragon warrior and Shu-Ten the first green dragon warrior. Although Zeno possesses no combat skills, he has the power to heal very quickly. When Zeno demonstrates his power, King Hiryuu is shocked by this and gives him the crest bestowed by the dragon gods themselves. King Hiryuu and the dragon warriors are feared and targeted by more humans, who either perished or retreated due to the powers of the dragons. After King Hiryuu rests in peace, Gu-En, Abi and Shu-Ten give a heartfelt farewell to Zeno, who stays to look after the castle. As Gu-En, Abi and Shu-Ten disperse their separate ways for twenty years, Zeno realizes that the other three have died due to aging. Zeno takes out an entire army by himself as he mourns the death of his friends.

After many years, Zeno sets out to find the descendants of the dragon warriors for the sake of King Hiryuu. Zeno visits the villages of the dragon warriors, meeting a four-year-old Kija after he bathes, meeting a two-year-old Shin-Ah while playing with a ball and meeting a nine-year-old Jae-Ha sleeping while shackled at his wrists and ankles. In the present, Zeno wakes up in his tent to his friends and gives them a group hug, making them uncomfortable.

Yona requests that Hak sleep with her for the night, claiming to be seeing ghosts. However, she later admits to having nightmares of Hak’s death, prompting him to comfort her.
