Seoul's Soul

Chapter 5

Seoul in Seoul

"Seoul is the one who bares the mark" Yunji finally but strainly said after a short pause, as she accepted her plight....and let go.

"What" both shikyun and Jaekyun loudly stated,shocked to their core as fear and despair gripped their beings too.

"Seoul-ah....no this can't be" Jaekyun stated as she stood up.

"..you mean 'The One who contains Two' " shikyun added,disbelieve and utter shock and fear could be heard in his voice as he spoke.

"I know....that's why I've been running,you remember the night she was born,when those people....those protectors came and took her...I couldn't let go,they took a lot from us that Line,and knowing the fact she will face them one day just broke me" Yunji stated as fresh tears threatened to fall again.

"Yes I remember,we ran so much,it was hell,the war around and we ran" shikyun replied as he stared into space with pain evident in his eyes at the horrible memories.

"No....we can't let her go back there,I'm sorry,but I can't let you go back to 'Dae Han Min Guk',Eomma please we can't let her" Jaekyun yelled as she was still standing,her voice diminishing at every word,sadness and anger was her being right now.

".....I know,Jaekyun,shikyun.....but...she has to go" Yunji broke the bridge as she looked at the Prince,and then at them.

"Ma..." shikyun started,but Yunji's reaction ment it was final. All they could do was sigh hopelessly. As all this went down Seoul just sat there motionless with many thoughts running in her mind.

"No...I can't be,it can't be,please,but why those it oddly feel right...Eomma,Jaekyun,shikyun....what do I do...how am I calm yet shaken" all these were going through her mind as everyone looked at her for reaction.

"Seoul-ah,are...you ok?" Yunji asked as she faced her to see her rigid posture.

"How can she be alright when she just found out she is a threat and a bait" shikyun yelled this time,he seems to be showing more emotions.

"Shikyun,Jaekyun.....I understand,believe me,I don't want this as much as you do...." Yunji sighed as she held them closer to herself and held their cheeks.

"But if we stop this....the world will fall,and this time.....it won't rise again,it's on our shoulders...she is hope,a way,the way to make everything right again" Yunji finished as she quoted the Prince,giving them determination.

"We understand...but.." Jaekyun replied as she sniffled and shikyun only nodded in agreement.

"But she hasn't said a thing since" shikyun added as they all looked at her,the Prince remained silent just waiting.

"Seoul-ah....I'm sorry it has become this way...I wanted to protect you,and I will always,we all will,I'm sorry...please say something" Yunji knelt down and held Seoul by the shoulders tenderly and looked at her in the eyes.

"....I understand Eomma...I've been different,even I know it,but I didn't know it was this.....I'm just scared,I'm more scared because in here and here...." Seoul tapped her heart and mind and added. "It feels right".

"I'll do it...,but I need you,you all" Seoul interjected as she accepted her fate with some tears on the brim of her eyes and looked at them all including the Prince.

"I'll do it...for all" Seoul added with more confidence.

"Ok...ok...we are with you,it's your destiny,you will fulfil it.....and make them pay,bring balance to the world" Yunji replied with a nod and a smile;they all gathered in for a tight family hug and Yunji looked at the Prince as if saying join us.
