The full moon night in Gwachang showed a horrific scene. The whole place was filled with blood. A war took place in Gwachang for whole day. The lake nearby looked like a red lake because, the blood of the soldiers died in the battelfield mixed with it.
Many soldiers were lying there lifeless. Some soldiers didn't have a leg or hand. The flesh of the soldeirs were scattered here and there. Same as the soldiers, many horses and elephants are also dead and their bodies also seen everywhere. Totally, this is a place of horror.
Vultures were flying in the sky to get food. Their shadows fall on this horrific place adding more and more creepiness.

In this horrific place, with the help of moonlight, a human figure can be seen lurking around. That figure kept looking around carefully.
If we look closer, we can see that figure is a monk.
He worn a brown colored dress and had a white long beard. He had a mischievous glow in his face. He was also a well built man. By his looks anyone can easily get confused, whether he is a monk or god himself?
What is he doing in such a horrific place?
Who or what he is searching for in this place?
As the monk kept walking, he saw a big gigantic figure like a little hill was walking towards his direction. It is the Royal Elephant of Silla army.
Seeing that, the monk got little hesitant and stood there like a statue.
There were many wounds on the elephant. It kept limping while walking. The elephant took careful steps not to step on any dead soldiers. It kept brushing its trunk everywhere, like it is searching for something or someone.
Soon it reached to what looked like piles of dead soldiers. The elephant started to take the dead bodies one by one slowily and kept aside carefully.
Monk kept watching this silently. He got curious and stepped a little closer to the elephant. He hid behind a coconut tree that stood near the scene unfolding.
The elephant kept doing this. Finally it stopped and looked at a body for a minute. Then slowly it brushed its trunk on the body's face for 3 times.
Then it limped its way away and
raised its trunk towards sky. It split in the top of its lungs. The monk sensed a undying love amd sorrow in that sound. With that split, the elephant laid on the ground. Soon it stopped its breathing. A dead silence covered that place.

The monk came from behind the tree and went to the place where elephant saw something. He saw the body of King Namjoon laying there.
He sat near the body and touched the forehead and chest. He sensed the slow beating of heart and also a little heat in the forehead. He took Namjoon's head in his lap and took a waterbottle and splashed it on his face. He also gave some water for Namjoon to drink.
Namjoon opened his eyes weakly and saw the monk. He looked closer and asked, "Sir! Who are you?". His voice was hoarse.
"I'm a follower of our lord Buddha dear. I heard about your bravery in the war took place today. So I thought to come and see the man of the day. Namjoon! You are a pure brave man. Your bravery will be never forgetten in the history." Saying this the monk patted Namjoon's head softly.
"War - What is the result of war sir?" Namjoon asked. His pale face shinned with such an excitement in knowing the result.
"What are you doubting about Namjoon? Hear closely...... did you hear the victory sounds of Goryeo army?" Monk asked.
Namjoon scoffed. He again asked, "I'm not asking about that sir. Did anyone from Silla......" he trailed off.
Monk smiled at him and said, "No. No. No one from Silla army returned alive. And no one bowed or surrendered to Goryeo army. All the soldiers have gained the heroic paradise my dear."
Namjoon eyes were filled with joy. He grinned like a child who got candy. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Silla is surely going to have a bright future. Sir! you have said a big big happy news to me. But what can I do for you in this time?" His eyes glistened again.
"I don't need anything from you Namjoon. I always help pure brave men like you. If you had any unfilled dreams, say me. I will help you to make them fulfilled." The monk said and the smile in his face never left.
"Really? Wow...... I got my luck in my last minutes. I have an undying desire in my heart sir. That is Silla. I'm worried about Silla. I want it to get its glory like the old days. I want Silla's flag to fly on other countries across the sea and land. I want it to happen atleast in my son's period. Jimin should grow as a great man. Silla's glory should be only his aim and dream of his life. Life or comfort is not important. But self respect and bravery are most important. This should be teached to him. He should not bow to anyone. I'm asking this help from you sir. Will you do it?? Will you take care of my son and teach him??" Namjoon asked him with expectation flooding in his eyes.
The monk kept his usual calmness with a smile in his face and said, " I will fulfill your wish if I'm alive. I promise you."
"Wowww...... thankyou sir. I'm so glad to meet you in such a time. But who are you??? Your face is glowing so much? Are you the lord i worship- "Namjoon was so excited even in his death bed. He asked the monk so eagerly. The brave man who fought in a war was now laying his head in the monk's lap and looking at the monk like child who is confused.
Monk smiled at Namjoon and said, "No Namjoon. I'm not the lord you worship. I'm just a person like you. If you really want to know who i am, then see."
Saying this, the monk removed his fake beard and showed his shinning face with a beautiful smile.
Namjoon kept looking at him with surprised eyes we without blinking. "Sir, is that really you?" His voice held an undefined emotion.
Namjoon smiled at the monk. He now completely believed that his dream will come true. Soon his eyes closed.
Namjoon saw all the happy moments of his life like a movie. He saw how he spent his life with jin, how they passionately loved each other, how Jimin born, how He played with his happiness who is un form of a child(Jimin). He smiled at those memories and wishepered an weak "I love you my lovelies" and his breath stopped.
The monk looked at the lifeless body of Namjoon and said, "You are such a brave man. I will help you with your dreams."
