➷(3) INTRUDERS

"We have intruders!" A shout cut through the silence. Da-hye's eyes fluttered open.

"Intruders!"

Da-hye and Dang-gu looked at each other. They ran outside along with other Jeongjingak mages.

The first thing she saw, was a ton of intruders. Da-hye unsheathed her sword. She focused on fighting off the intruders. Her best guess was that these were Naksu's men. They have came to retrieve her body. They looked like assassins. They were dressed in all black.

Suddenly Yul, Da-hye, and Dang-gu saw some sort of bright light in the sky. The three of them looked around clearly confused.

"Yul, what is going on?" Dang-gu asked.

"The training center is on fire." A mage shouted.

They looked at each other and ran towards the training center. Da-hye was worried, what did these intruders want? And who were they? Had they come here in an attempt to harm the leader as payback for Naksu?

"Uncle, are you alright?" Dang-gu asked the leader

"The intruders all left." Yul said.

"Jeongjingak is empty." The leader said making Da-hye realize that this was all a setup .The intruders set this all up, they wanted Naksu's body. Da-hye should have known better. She placed her palm on her forehead.

Once they arrived in Jeongjingak, Naksu's body was gone. Da-hye blamed herself, she should have known better than to leave Jeongjingak when the body of a deadly assassin was there.

"Find them." The leader said.

"Yes, my Lord."

All of the Songrim and Jeongjingak mages, including Da-hye, ran out hoping to catch the intruders who had taken Naksu's body. They couldn't have gone too far.

Da-hye walked around hoping to find the intruders. Eventually, she heard noise. She could only see the silhouette of a person. She got closer making sure to not make any noise as she moved the hanging cloths out of her way. Once she was close enough, she moved the last cloth and drew her sword at the person.

Only to find out that the person was Dang-gu. He jumped away from Da-hye's sword. "What....what are you doing?" Dang-gu asked confused yet shocked on why his sister was pointing her sword at him.

"I thought you were one of the intruders." Da-hye explained, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.

"Me? Why would you think that?!" Dang-gu asked, he was a little bit offended. In Da-hye's defense Dang-gu was standing very suspiciously which made Da-hye think that he was one of the intruders.

"Why would I not think that when you are standing there looking suspicious?" Da-hye asked. "What are you even doing here?"

"Suspicious?" Dang-gu scoffed. "You are being suspicious!"

"I am not." Da-hye said.

"You are." Dang-gu frowned disapprovingly.

Da-hye scoffed and walked away. Even though, Dang-gu was her twin brother, he was annoyingly stupid sometimes. Da-hye guessed that he got that from their uncle being slow.

"Wait.....wait for me." Dang-gu said as he followed after her. Da-hye and Dang-gu searched around together until eventually they found Yul, Uk, and someone else.

"Uk?" Dang-gu said as he saw Jang Uk. "Hold on. Why are you here?" Why was Uk here? What was he doing here? Did he know about the intruders? Who was the girl next to him?
