"You have to come back before dawn" an old woman shouted from inside of the house which looked more like a hut with the state of it "don't worry mother I will be back before the dawn" a boy in his early age shouted running out of the house

he checked the money after counting it again he put it back in his pouch that was made of cheap cloth

He ran his eyes through the village everyone looked busy in their work he looked up at the sun that was not showing any mercy to the poor villagers, he sighed wiping the salty sweat off of his milky white skin,

After walking for hours he finally got to his destined place. He went into the shop with a bright smile on his face "good afternoon miss Joanna" he greeted the shopkeeper lady with polite manners bowing down his head "good afternoon jiminie what brings you here darling?" the Old lady greeted him back-patting his shoulder "look at you, you're growing up so well my boy" she complimented

Making the boy smile in proudness he's been working on his muscles and sword practicing a lot and finally when someone complimented he can see the results and now only if I can test my sword and fighting skills too "thank you" he shyly replied fidgeting with his pink hanbok

"Mother asked for the same thing" she nodded her head going into the separate storeroom that was attached to her shop she came back with some medicinal herbs in her hands and handed them to jimin "take a little more amount of it from now on since you're growing up" he nods his head taking out the money

"You can take it since I'm having a good sales it's a gift from me to you," the old lady said pushing jimin's hand back "no no it's fine miss you don't have to" the boy tries to give her the money "no-take it, you do so much work for me every time you come I can at least give you a little gift" jimin sighed in defeat and put the money back in his pouch

"Okay I'll take it and now tell me is there anything I can do?" Jimin asked for anything he can do to return the favor "hmm...." The lady thinks for a moment and then spoke up "can you bring me these from the forest?" showing him the little sample of the medical herbs "they grow up on the high mountain and my old bones can't climb the high"

"Of course I will bring them" he took the sample and tugged it in the belt of his hanbok, he walked out of the shop remembering his mother told him to come back before the dawn he glimpse up at the sky there was still plenty of time left if he makes it quick, he can go back to his home before the dawn

Jimin looked up at the high mountain "you must be there" he talked to the herbs that he tugged in his hanbok as he started climbing the mountain, which was connected to the dark forest that was spread across miles with tall trees and long bushes and all kind of animals and monsters

"There you are" he picked up the herbs that looked the same as the lady gave him the sample of, he sighed taking a lot of the herbs with him, he quickly jumped down climbing down the mount as he took a glimpse up at the sun drowning through the puff of the clouds

He slowed his steps as his ear perked up in the direction of the unknown sound coming from, he took slow steps towards the sound's direction and it started being visible that the sound was coming from someone's shouting

He pulls out the sword that was well hidden in his hanbok as he positioned himself to attack taking slow steps towards the voice, he removes the bushes that were covering his sight,
