Chapter 34 - Unknown killer

What are you three doing? How many times have I told you to feel the power in your body that is flowing with your blood. Calm down and concentrate. You all have powers but if your body cannot handle those powers then it can become a danger for you as well as your friends. We will do it once again. Come on, close your eyes and concentrate. You will have to learn to control your powers. Yama says looking at Suan and the twin sisters. "What happened, Dad? Why are you so worried?" Aurora asks, looking at Hikaru. "What were you doing inside the White Dragon Temple?" Hikaru asks. "I don't know, Dad, how I got there, but I keep having the same dream over and over again. In that dream, a girl is standing between two men. Suddenly, fire starts coming out of their mouths, like dragons, causing the girl to scream in pain. Hearing her screams, my eyes open," Aurora says, looking at Hikaru. "Don't worry, your mother is calling for you," Hikaru says, caressing Aurora's head. "How can this be? Just find out who killed our soldiers so brutally," Yen says, looking at Saito. "That's good news," Half Face says, laughing. "What do you mean? Someone brutally killed our soldiers, and you're rejoicing," Irish says, looking at him angrily. "You guys aren't seeing what I'm seeing," Half Face says. "What do you mean?" Yen asks. "You guys know that the only soldiers killed were those who were crossing the forest and heading towards the waterfall. Do you know what that means?" Half Face asks, looking at Yen. "It means the White Dragon Village is right there. This is really good news," Yen says, laughing and looking at his friends. After that, everyone else starts celebrating too."It's been a while since I met you, how are you and Aurora?" Yama asks, looking at Hikaru. "I'm fine, and so is Aurora. How are everyone here?" Hikaru bows his head and greets him. "Everyone here is living happily. It's because of you that we've all been able to live here peacefully for so many years. Thank you," Yama tells Hikaru. "We're all like family. You've helped me a lot, it's my duty." "By the way, I want to meet Guruji," Hikaru asks, looking at Yama. "Come, I'll take you," Yama says, looking at Hikaru. The two then leave to meet the lama. "What is Guruji doing here with these three?" Hikaru asks, looking at Suan, Sora, and Haru, who are fighting each other. "These three are participating in the competition this time, so Guruji and I are training them." "How are you, Guruji?" Hikaru asks, bowing to him from behind. You take care of all this while I'll talk to you," Lama says looking at Yama. "Let's sit there and talk. It's been a while since we've met. How is Aurora?" Lama asks while sipping water. "I need to talk to you about this." Hikaru then tells him about Aurora's dream. "What do you think, Guruji?" Hikaru looks at Lama worriedly. "You're worrying for no reason. That's fine, but Guruji, she's having this same dream over and over again. Is it possible that her life is in danger?" Hikaru interrupts. "Okay, you send her to me, I'll take care of it." After thinking for a while, Lama says to Hikaru. "By the way, Guruji, I brought you something. I saw this when I was at the market, so I brought it for you. I know you're quite fond of it." Hikaru says, pushing a beautiful wooden box towards Lama. When Lama opens the box, he is overjoyed to see what's inside. "This is Darjeeling tea. Thank you very much. I'm leaving, Master. I have to see to the preparations for the competition." Saying this, Hikaru bows his head and leaves. "Okay, you go without worry. By the way, this time you'll see a lot of new things in the competition," Lama says, looking at him. "What happened? Did you find out who the person who killed our soldiers is?" Yen asks, looking at Katana. "No, we haven't found out anything yet, but the soldier he left alive told us that the person who killed our soldiers has powers. He came with lightning speed and cut our soldiers like carrots and radishes." He was wearing black clothes and his face was also covered. Katana looks at Yen and says.Today's training is over, now you can take rest, Yama says looking at the three of them. Hearing this, Suan Sora and Haru lie down on the ground, anyone can tell by looking at them that they are very tired. Guruji, Suan's grandmother has come to meet you, a monk comes and tells the Lama. Okay, make her sit inside, bring tea made from special herbs for her and bring this tea for me, saying this the Lama gives Darjeeling tea to the monk, after that the Lama goes to meet Sohee. It seems your anger has subsided, the Lama says looking at Sohee. Why did you do this? You know everything about the circumstances we have gone through, even after that why did you do this to us, Guruji Sohee asks looking at him with moist eyes. You think I don't understand your sorrows, I wish I had some other way by which I could defeat Yen and his companions, then I would never have done this, but it is our bad luck that we don't have any other way, Lama says looking at Sohee. What do you mean by that, Guruji, Sohee asks. Just then a monk comes from the door with tea, after placing the tea he goes away from there. "Why don't we talk over tea," Lama says, looking at Sohee. Lama picks up the tea, its aroma bringing a slight smile to his face. He then takes a sip of it. "What a wonderful tea, I've enjoyed it," Lama says, closing his eyes. Just then, Sohee also takes a sip of her tea. With one sip, she feels the tiredness and pain in her body disappear. "So, I was saying, how long do you think we'll be safe here? Yen and his companions will reach here someday. It's just a matter of time. After that, we'll have no choice but to fight. I'm just preparing for that day," Lama replies. "So, for this, you're sending my grandson to his death. You know, Suan is our last resort. If something happens to him, who will we rely on to survive?" Sohee says sadly. "Why are you grieving for something that hasn't happened? First, take him back home." She misses you and Ah-seong so much. I want you both to teach her how to control her powers and how to use them. Whatever is meant to happen will happen, and there's nothing you and I can do about it," the lama says, looking at Sohee. "Okay, Guruji," Sohee says, leaving the room. "Grandma, please forgive me here. I've caused you and Mom a lot of pain," Suan says, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing this, Sohee's eyes also become moist. Suddenly, Sohee hits him on the head with her stick. "Why did you hit me?" Suan feigns anger. "Come home, I'll tell you then," Sohee says, hitting him again with her stick, causing Suan to run towards the house, with Sohee following behind. "Guruji, it's time for dinner," Yama says to the lama. Just then there is a knock on the door, come inside says Mausam Lama. Mausam gets shocked, after that he opens the door and goes inside. I was waiting for you only, so tell me how are you, Lama looks at him and asks. I am ready Guruji, whatever you ask me to do I will do it, Mausam bows his head in front of Lama and says. Come on, let's eat food first and then we will talk, Lama looks at him and says after that everyone goes to eat food."You've come at the right time. Come on, everyone, come and stand here except you," Yen says, looking at his friends. "Where's this smell coming from? It's the smell of petrol," Sikandar says, wrinkling his nose and sniffing. "Why is there petrol spilled on the floor?" Half Face asks Yen. "Before that, answer me one question: how much trust do you guys have in me?" Yen asks, looking at all his friends. "What kind of question is that? We all have complete trust in you," Katana replies. "That's what you say, my friend," Yen says, looking at Katana. "We all have complete trust in you," everyone else says, looking at him. "By the way, do you guys think this beautiful night is a good place to die?" Yen says, looking at the moon, "because it's a full moon." Yen's words shock all his friends. "What are you talking about?" Irish says, looking at Yen. "The petrol spilled on the floor is for us," Yen says, looking at them all, laughing. "What do you mean?" Sook asks Yen. "According to that book, we have to be reborn to gain new powers," Yen says, looking at his friends. "You're telling the truth, there must be something else," Jinsuk says, looking at Yen. "Yes, he's telling the truth, this is crazy," Saito says. "Richard, my friend, today we'll see how lucky you are. If we all survive, it's your bad luck, and if we die, you'll rule over everyone," Yen says, looking at him. "Come on, everyone, come here and stand in a circle. No matter what happens, don't leave the circle," Yen says, looking at his friends. After a moment of thought, everyone moves forward and stands in the circle. Yen then looks at Richard, then Richard takes a lighter from his pocket, lights it, and throws it at them. As soon as the flame from the lighter touches the petrol, the fire spreads all around, first burning Yen's friends and then Yen. The burning causes Yen and his companions to scream in agony, unintentionally. Their agonized cries can be heard from afar in the stillness of the night. Gradually, their voices fade, and after a while, everything becomes quiet, their bodies burning in the fire.
