Fire and Ice

Chapter 1

Donghae walked into the hall with worry and panic as he thinks about what he’s going to tell his father and grandfather of the errand they had sent him to do in the human territory. He pushed open the double doors to the enormous dining hall. He scanned the rather dim hall and found two silhouettes at the far end of the table. Donghae approached them and bowed.

          “Father,” Donghae started, “they’re gone. I’ve searched the burnt house and I even questioned the filthy ogres loitering around the place, but they know not where the twins are.”

          The man on the right stood up and approached Donghae. Moments later the sound of a hand making contact a face resonated in the empty hall.

          “How could you let this happened Donghae? They are your siblings! They are of great importance to our race and this chaotic world of ours.” The man said in an angry tone.

          “That is enough!” shouted the man sitting at the head of the table. He had been listening to the rather intense conversation of his son and grandson with a hint of annoyance on his face.

Donghae loved his father very much that he followed every order his father has given him and his latest order was to find his half brother and sister left in the human land. Saving them meant sharing the love and attention his father and grandfather has been giving him. He never knew his mother but his father has found love again from a fire mage living amongst the people of the middle lands. Their love has bear fruit to two powerful offspring, a half mage and half dragon.

As the ruler and lord of the middle lands and high kingdom, his father is sure to have enemies and those enemies has tried to kidnap the twins to use against the Lord of the sky, as everybody calls him.

“Donghae is still your son as much as those half-breeds you had produced, Ji-Hoon.”

“Father! I will not hear these insults of being half-breeds said to describe my son and daughter.” Ji-Hoon snapped back at his father’s comment.

“Fine then. I will have every tracker we have in the castle to search the human world as well as the middle worlds. Those twins are still my grandchildren and I will not let those filthy demons have them.”

But Ji-Hoon was not satisfied with his father’s plans, he knew there was another dimension other than the one they are right now; a world totally ignorant of the existence of dragons and magic. He had been there once, but it was impossible to enter that dimension without the help of a priestess and he knew just the right person to ask for help.

“Victoria,” Ji-Hoon approached a woman in a white hooded robe. They were in a room up in a tower in the castle. There were glass-like portals turning and every time, a different image of other dimensions shows.

“My Lord,” Vitoria turned around and bowed at her visitor.

“This is a rather unexpected visit. How may I be of service to the great Lord of the sky?” the priestess asked and gave him a sweet smile.

“I want you to search for my children in the human world. On earth.” Ji-Hoon said with pleading eyes. “Can you help me?”

“Of course my Lord, I live to serve you.”
