Jin Yong-sun stands on the edge of a rock platform that juts out from the rocky-mountainous side of the infamous small island, Udo. His staff glimmers as he gazes out at the raging water below him. In the distance, he can see the larger island of Jeju.
"Hyung!" a gruff voice cries out behind him.
Yong-sun spins around to see four of his close mythical comrades: a red-eyed, white moon rabbit (known as Daltokki), a fire dog (Bulgae), a Korean Goblin (Dokkaebi) and a gorgeous young nine-tailed fox (Gumiho).
The voice belongs to the Dokkaebi.
"Yes, Sagikkun?" Yong-sun greets the Korean goblin creature.
The Bulgae places a burning paw ahead of him and appears to kneel down to Yong-sun. "Master of Jeju, I have news on righting things and bringing peace to our precious, magical Jeju Island."
Yong-sun cocks his head to one side, lifting an eyebrow. "Jiog, speak more on this matter."
Jiog the fire dog snaps his head to both sides of him, where the red-eyed white rabbit stands up on hind legs and the young woman with nine-tails sprouting behind her with glowing blue eyes stands tall.
"Everything is always about the moon," the woman grumbles with a roll of her eyes.
"Jealous, Yeo-u?" Sagikkun snarls with a smirk.
Jiog and the rabbit chuckle in unison.
"Hush, Yeo-u! Tell me, Jiog!" Yong-sun snarls.
Jiog's flaming eyes return to the dragon lord, "You spoke about this in your curse, a foretelling...a sacrifice must be made!"
"Yes, yes, I know that. But who or what?" Yong-sun drills, jamming the staff in his hand into the cold rocky ground.
The goblin snickers and sneers, "Well, it's not the stupid unicorn that's for sure. You should have never wasted your time or effort with that singing pink horned horse." It folds its massive arms together across its chest.
"Yes, WinWin was a mistake," Jiog agrees with a nod.
"WinWin is not important. As soon as you tell me more information, we'll have our peace and not have to worry about any stupid idols or the unicorn," Yong-sun says. "Now, quiet, Dal, Sagikkun and Yeo-u. Let Jiog speak."
Jiog begins to recite a prophecy: "Born under a blood moon, his name contains lunar origin. The sacrifice to end all the bloodshed and war and return the Island to peace once more."
"Moon Tae-il!" Yong-sun exclaims. "I knew it! He makes the perfect peacekeeper candidate. How did I not realize this before?"
"But what about the vampire?" Dal the white moon rabbit questions.
"Yes, he might propose a small issue...but it's nothing that a trickster spirit or hell hound can't handle," Sagikkun grumbles.
"Or an ominous, seductive lurer of men," Yeo-u remarks, twisting a strand of her dark black hair around her index finger.
"Well, release the hounds then so-to-say," Yong-sun declares. "Fetch me Moon Tae-il!"
