« Now it's your turn Sago ! Tell us a story better than the one of Sasuk. »

« Are you crazy ?! »

« Don't you know Sago never talk ! »

« Stop bothering Same Yu, brat ! »

But then they heard a strange sound

« I have a story. »

' She spoke !!!'

« Don't do it if you are uncomfortable... »

But the ghost like woman seemed like she as settled her mind

« The story is about- the birth of the horses. »

Everyone  went instantly silent

« In the grasslands behind the Great Wall... In the infinite plain there are shallow lakes . »

It was quite rare to hear this girl talk so much

« The infinite sky ... the clouds reflect on the lakes. The white horses of the sky used to came on earth through the reflection of couds in the lakes. They came to eat grass... »

It seemed like she was searching the best way to put it into words

« Men... though they are beautiful, and powerful, and living blessings... They tried to catch them... But they were fast, and they always returned sky through the lakes before... men catch them. »

« But men managed to catch them, Sago ? »

« Men... understood no rope could restrain the white horses. Their king... the son of the sky became interested on this heavenly beings... if strength couldn't prison them, magic would. He asked a shaman to catch a floc of it for him. »

Baek Cheong was looking at Yu Iseol in disbelief. As she was talking, she started to smile, looking at the fire with warm eyes. He blushed subtly

« So the shaman summoned devil spirits to dry away the lakes... And when the kings'men went to capture them, the horses could no more reach the sky... The king has his white heavenly horses, and the shaman has his gold... but there was no water remaining on earth... and humankind paid the price of greed for the first time ... »

Chung Myung muttered

« Horses are justice... Sago, this tale is not from the central plains, it is not ? »

Yu Iseol shook her head

« My mother told me it... she- from behind the Great Wall... »

« Actually I heard that sort of story already.' There is in the Far East a lake so deep and so pure you can stand on the ice that cover it every winter and feel like flying. From the sunshine hitting the mirror like water, emerged a golden spirit horse. Since it's birth it seeks for the light he comes from and it want to return to it. So it galoped without rest toward the east, trying to reach the land where the sun rise. But it stopped in Diangciang, where it has found a being that recalled him the sun..."

'Jin Yang, the errant sun, the best hope of her sect back then... Oh my, I was so fucking in love...'

« Did it stood in Diangciang ? »

« Yes, until it's master died... »

She was the first well known warriors to die because of the demonic cult... That's why her sect was hell bound in fighting them...She died two years after they met, and he was stupid enough for not to confess... wasting this two years heaven gave them...
