Seoul's Soul

Chapter 3

It's beginning.

   "Brother....it has began" a male voice said with concern laced in his voice. "I know Hyun,I saw it last night too" replied another male voice much older. "Songjun-ah....don't You think it's happening too soon?" Hyun asked his companion with uncertainty evident in his voice. "Whether it happens now or later on,it would still happen,nothing can stop it,we must face it still" Songjun replied plainly. "Do I sense fear,hyun-ah" songjun stated as he looked at him. "....So do I" songjun interjected,and looked toward a wall.

 "What,you...fear..no way,for me everyone would believe,but..but not you" Hyun replied with a chuckle and nervousness. He couldn't believe that the songjun would be scared,he just couldn't.

 "Well believe me or not,we all have things that trigger our fear,but worry not brother,yes we were destined for this,we are The Protectors" Songjun stated in means to assure him. "That's what scares me the most jun-ah,our history haunts me every night,and the fact that it has began..it.." Hyun rambled with a shake,songjun is the only one he could go to and show he's true feelings. "Calm down Hyun,don't bent on it too much,you have me and the others" songjun effortlessly consoled him "and we have something that can help us,someone".

 "Come have some tea with me,you'll feel much better" songjun said with a familial smile. "Thank you jun-ah,I feel much better" Hyun replied with some loosen strain.

 Songjun has been the back bone of the protectors ever since the last fathers,he knows how to keep them intact,and now he couldn't help the fact that he was scared too,and knowing now that his past is resurfacing again strains him more. "This time would be different,it has to be different"Songjun thought with concern but also determination.

The protectors are a line of warriors trained and sworn in the arts of magic,leadership and protection; They are a line of generations chosen by blood and or by heart to always protect and guide people and the one who bares the mark,and an oath was made: "we are protectors,and with our blood we sealed our oaths:for togetherness,on our shoulders". For centuries they stood and hold against evil and all that try to surpress balance.

 "It's beginning again,and this time it must end".

  "Eomma.....EOMMA,wake up Eomma,Seoul....Seoul is missing" a distressed looking Jaekyun with tears pooling her eyes barged into her mother's room in all panic. "What..what...Jaekyun" Eomma woke up with a startle from sleep due to Jaekyun's screams. "What's wrong,why are you crying?" Eomma asked as she was confused and a bit shaken up from the state Jaekyun is in. "Eomma,Seoul...Seoul is missing,I can't find her...I've searched everywhere" Jaekyun choked out a reply due to the fear and stress she was under.

"What...no..She must be in her room" Eomma said also getting distressed. "No she's not,I've looked in there....Eomma where could she have gone" Jaekyun broke down crying,she couldn't hold it in.

 "Jaekyun...Jaekyun,it's Ok don't cry I'm sure she's ok,she's a smart girl,she'll be fine" Eomma tried to assure her,but it was herself she was trying to assure more.
