When I walked along the corridor I heard a voice behind me.

"Yi yi stop there and wait for me." Heeseung was coming after me.

"Brother, I thought you already went to the study." The younger son of my uncle; the emperor.

"I don't dare to. Don't know what punishment he is about to give me." Heeseung always acted mischievously but, he was so kind that he always ended up in trouble while helping others. Though he never showed off them as his partner and sister I knew his deeds well than his own brother.

"Let's go and see," I said and moved on after he caught up with me.

When both of us entered Crown Prince Lee and Uncle were waiting for our arrival. "I called both of you here regarding the matter we have discussed already in the court. I think you got what I ordered you to do." I realized that the uncle was asking that from me when he turned to me when no one answered. "Ye_yes" The reality was that I was getting more and more confused. Even though I had many questions I was strong giving others an impression of know it all.

"You must gather all the Warriors back again to defeat that evil monster because it is impossible for anyone to defeat him except the seven of them." I got that I had to find all of them no matter how hard it was going to be. It was concerned about the safety of everyone in the three realms. I was held responsible for minimizing such hazards and I had the feeling that this might become my last mission for this life.

"Why did you call me here father?" I almost forgot that he was also standing beside me for a while by that time.

"Because you are one of them." I felt proud that Heeseung was getting a chance to prove his true worth. Everything he had done had gone unnoticed but, this time he would shine among others and I would make sure of that.

"Father, do you mean the warriors? But he is still too young for that. Let me do it. I am strong enough." Crown Prince always loved his brother so dearly that he never wanted to see his brother be in any danger in his whole life. He was always the one who guided him to become the strong teenager he had grown up into.

"Not everyone is destined to be a part of it. He is one lucky lad to have the honor of it." Not that I didn't notice the sarcasm in the lord's voice. I always wondered why he never saw the real Heeseung hiding behind that playful mask.

"You are never allowed to be a part of it because more responsibilities are waiting for you to complete. That is why you are the crown prince to take the throne after me. The tasks that are given to both of you to determine the future of the realms." I felt and saw how serious he was and I knew that we were bound to this task. I knelled and my brother did too.

"We will both obey your commands, Lord." That was how it was one could never go against the lord's words.

The two grand doors were closing behind them while the other two were carried away by a conversation of their own inside the double doors. It felt like we skipped a few years of our life and got some maturity or Maybe not!

"Yi yi, can you even believe it? I am a warrior." He was happy like someone who won a battle against his brother_the friendly matches he had with his brother which Heeseung very frequently as his brother let him.

The news had reached far when we went back. Some had expectations however few seemed to be insulted as they were not a part of the journey.

The days flew faster and we were about to leave and I might have taken my final farewell from the world there.

"Father, don't worry I am going to be good. Heeseung will be there to look after me." I replied to my father's worried face. He looked vulnerable and it wasn't that I couldn't feel his worries. His most beloved and respected person grandma whom I never met and I understood how and why when I grew up. "Grandma devoted her life to this a long time ago. Now it's my chance. I hope that you will believe me. Do not worry I promise to return to you as soon as possible." I gave him a very warm hug knowing that I would miss both of them. "You must take care of yourself. I know how hard this is because I have seen these a millennium ago." Father said. According to the legends most of the time Gods of War gave their lives to save us. That simple sentence showed the huge role I had to play against the great villain. That made me afraid and hesitant even though I looked brave on the outside. Amongst all the heroic activities I have shown to the realms I was still a girl who was even younger than Heeseung

"I know that you can hear me, dear. You are the best granddaughter. I will be looking at you and your friends during the upcoming journey. See you soon my dear." She floated away from me. "Grandma" I woke up surprised and I couldn't go back to sleep because I was excited and curious about the challenge that was going to start the next day.

"I saw him yesterday." That was the first Heeseung said when we started our journey of fate. "What do you mean?" I thought he was talking to himself because he usually did that when he was too sleepy."I mean the next warrior, I think I saw him last night." When he paused I gave him a questioning glance. Even though he didn't notice it he continued. "I didn't see a person but a beautiful forest." That's when I knew it was a clue to our next stop. Wherever it was we had to reach there soon. A voice in my mind kept saying that he had already found our intentions but, I never bothered to know who that was. Maybe I would get to reveal that secret as well. "Wait, you mean you saw just a simple forest. Wasn't there anything special about it?" I had come to my senses when he mentioned that we were headed to a forest. "No, I think it was just a simple forest. There was nothing special about it." The king said that the warriors can sense each other's presence and I have witnessed it by then. That was miraculous to see many people didn't get the ability of telepathy but, they have earned it. He thought for a while before raising his hands up in celebration. "I remember there were flowers. I mean a lot of them. They were pretty and rare I guess." There was only one place I could think of when he said that. "Flower Kingdom!" Both of us shouted in unison and took off to the Flowere Kingdom.
