Da-hye got a flashback to the secret about Uk's family secret that the leader was talking about. Could Uk have been born under the king's star. No, that could not be. But, wait, he achived Ryusu, Jipsu, and Chisu in such a short amount of time when his gate of energy had been closed for almost 20 years. His father had closed his gate of energy, was that the reason? Had he closed his gate of energy because Uk was born under the king's star?

"Even if he exists, the light he emits will be faint." Master Lee said. "And the energy of the seven stars surrounding him will not show yet. A power strong enough to defy the laws of nature and bring chaos to the word has returned once again." Master Lee said. "Thus, someone strong enough to stop it should also appear. That way, the world will be able to maintain balance." Master Lee smiled. "What I am trying to say is that there is not need to feel so anxious. I hope this helps calm your anxiety."

"Thank you for your words of comfort." The King said.

"Then I should leave now." Master Lee said. "As you refused to accept my gift, I will take Gwigu back with me."

"Your Majesty." The queen said.

"Do as you please." The King told Master Lee. The queen looked at the 4 of them with anger.

Master Lee, Da-hye, Dang-gu, and Yul bowed their heads. Master Lee left first, Da-hye, Dang-gu, and Yul followed behind him.

"No, wait. Stop." Uk said as soon as he saw them. "Are we leaving?"

"I saw everything that I needed to see." Master Lee said. "They revealed themselves after I instilled fear." So the Queen was, in fact, a soul shifter. But now the question was whose soul had shifted into the Queen's body.

"You must have been startled." Master Lee walked over to the dog. "Are you all right?" Master Lee asked the dog. Da-hye and Dang-gu walked to Uk to check on him.

"How did you get hurt?" Dang-gu asked Uk.

"The dog did not get hurt. But thanks to you, I did." Uk told Master Lee.

"Did you get hurt?" Master Lee asked the dog. "I cannot believe you got hurt fighting those goons." Master Lee told Uk. "He still has a long way to go, right?" Master Lee told the dog.

Uk sighed.

"Wait. I see blood." Master Lee spotted blood on the dog's fur. "Are you hurt?"

"That is my blood." Uk said. "He did not get hurt at all...wait, blood." Uk found blood on his hand.

"Ew, you are bleeding." Da-hye said. Da-hye did not like the sight of a lot of blood. It made her disgusted. That was ironic, though.

"Thank goodness." Master Lee said. Master Lee walked over to Uk. "Does it hurt?" Master lee shoved his finger on Uk's injury. Uk groaned in pain. "I guess it does." Master Lee said.

"It hurts." Uk whined. "My gosh."

Dang-gu grabbed Uk's arm to support him. Master Lee went back to petting the dog. The dog was actually cute. Da-hye patted Uk's shoulder understandingly. It was clear that Master Lee liked the dog better than Uk.

Dang-gu, Da-hye, and Uk looked over at Yul. He looked like he was thinking very hard about something.

"Are you all right?" Yul asked Uk. "You are hurt all over."

"I am fine." Uk said.

"But, you just said you were not." Da-hye said.

"That does not matter." Uk said. "Did you find the soul shifters? What about the ice stone?"
