The sound of multiple bells chime throughout the house and echo through her ears. She slowly open her eyes as the sunshine greets her from peaking through the thin curtains. Its very sunny today, hopefully it will be a good day?

She sits herself up out of bed yawning and her feet meet the ice cold floor, she flinches for a few seconds before fully touching it and accepting it as is.

For a moment it felt like something was missing, a feeling lingered in the pit of her stomach. She couldn't quite pin point exactly what until she looks down at her wrist seeing the number thirteen engraved into her skin. I always wondered what it would be like if I met my soulmates, if that were to ever happen, I haven't thought of it too much though.

"Mi-hi!" Her mother calls from downstairs which pulls her immediately out of her thoughts and back into reality again.

"Coming!" She says. Her morning voice taking over as it sounds a little bit more crackly than it should.

Mi-hi stands up finally walking out of the room and heading downstairs meeting her family who is sitting at the dining room table, her mother who hands out what smells like eggs and bacon, she places them on all of their plates.

"The King sent an invitation" she says while putting away the left overs.

"He probably needs me to do another quest for him" she smiles to herself as Mi-hi has been receiving these invitations to the castle more frequently. It's nice to know that I can be of help to others.

"Come and eat before you go and get changed after your finished" she sends a sweet smile and she nods quickly before sitting down between her two younger siblings who are digging into their food already.

Yeji who's sitting on her left side turns towards her mouth full of food, smiling ever so brightly with a thumbs up. Mi-hi's lips curve up into a smile making her grin so hard her cheeks start to hurt, Yeji was always there making her smile.

Then she turns to her right side, Hyunjin who's sitting there rubbing his stomach from scarfing down his food relatively quickly. She couldn't help but laugh at his goofiness.

"What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Hyunjin asks as she shakes her head trying not to laugh. "Do I have something on my face?"

"Yeah you have something right here" she points at his forehead and flicks him lightly. That's what I call a love tap.

"What was that for?"

"That was obviously me expressing my love for you" she says while ruffling his hair. She chuckles at his reaction as he scoffs. He knows I love him to death.

"Me and Hyunjin are gonna go down to the village today" Yeji chimes in and she turns her head in curiosity.

"We're just gonna run a few errands"
Hyunjin says and she nods her head.

"You two better be safe and look after your sister. Don't take your eyes off of her"

"Okaayy" Hyunjin groans and Yeji giggles.

eventually everyone finishes up their breakfast and Mi-hi heads upstairs to get changed into her uniform that the King especially made for her, as a reward for successfully completing past quests. I wonder what kind of quest he'll give me today?

"Bye Yeji, bye Hyunjin! I'll see you two later, remember to be safe when you both go out to the village" she calls out reminding them once more. They nod their heads in sync. That's good enough for me.

The corners of her mouth lift up into a smile. They really are her favorite people in the entire world.

she makes her way down the bricked steps that leads to a carriage sent by the King himself. The coachman opens the door for her as he bows in respect.

——

The King's guards lead her to him. The castle was beautiful, everything made out of silver and gold. He surely was a rich man.

He was sitting nicely on his thrown. Everyone bows to him and waits for him to speak.

"Miss Mi-hi, You've already done so much for me and yet I keep asking for more."

He bitterly laughs. She could only stare barely nodding her head agreeing with what he was saying.

"However" he pauses and then continues "I trust you with all my heart that you won't let me down with this special quest" For a moment he stood up from his throne thinking carefully of what his next words were going to be.

"Perhaps I'm putting too much weight on you?"

She didn't say anything nor did she agree.

"Give her the scroll" he commands

The Kings right hand man makes his way towards her placing the scroll in her hand. I have a feeling that this one won't be as easy as I think.

"May you be safe on your Journey Miss Mi-hi. When you return you will be rewarded with the most valued item you've ever layed your eyes on" he laughs confidently.

"Thank you" she bows showing her respect and leaving. I already have everything I need I just need to know what is in that scroll that he has given me. What's in it exactly?

"Make sure to never show anyone but yourself. Never trust anyone." That's what his words were right before she left. Now it made her even more curious as to what was in it but the question is, why should she not trust anyone at all?

When she got back inside the carriage she took out the very scroll he had given her. She looks from side to side to make sure no one was seeing what she was about to see. So far so good.

She slowly opens it up peaking at the first couple of words. Is that right I'm not seeing things am I?

"A wisp?" She immediately covers her mouth. What in the world, there are a few more words underneath.. it sounds like a riddle.

"A place that is full of greens where the flowers blow in the breeze, you will find the Wisp when you need it the most."

The Flora Meadows? A place full of greens and flowers, that's really obvious is it not?

It's settled, that's where shes going to head first!
