Jeong Su stood under the vast night sky, his silhouette illuminated by the flickering campfire, "I walk the path of darkness," he began, his voice echoing through the silent woods. "A path fraught with peril, where light is but a distant memory. Yet, there is no return. I don't need to return. This is the path that I take, the path that defines me."
Jeong Su paused looking at the dark sky.
"The path that defines me... Did I really choose this path or am I just a pawn to that old hag?" Jeong Su sighed, "nonsense." Jeong Su smirked.
Jeong Su extended his arm in the direction of the campfire, "manifest." he chanted with commanding authority. A creature of living flame surged out from his outstretched hands and consumed the campfire's flames. He clenched his palms and the creature dissipated in thin air.
Jeong Su smirked, "what an overkill."
Jeong Su clapped his hands together and aligned them with his dantian, "Eagle Of The South," Jeong Su extended his arms, Manifest!" An eagle of pure Qi surged out of Jeong Su's body, "Yeon-in is still pretty far from the west. I don't know how Jeo-gun traveled it in 2 weeks though," Jeong Su grabbed his chin, "he sure is lucky to be born with a heavenly body, but that brain of his is holding him back..." Jeong Su smiled, "good for me!" with a confident leap he mounted the eagle ready to soar through the skies.

Jin looked around Kosdae's room, full of color and too luxurious for him. He sighed, "man I wish I was this ric—"
Plop!
—you fell again?!."
"The last step is kinda confusing... I don't know how to spin like you..."
Jin stood up and held Kosdae's hands.
"First you step here."
Jin demonstrated the steps slowly, his movements fluid and precise, "see it's all about rhythm and balance."
Kosdae nodded and she attempted to imitate Jin's movements but she—
Plop!
—always fell.
Frustrated by this she stood up towering over Jin, "let's play outside I'm growing tired of this."
"Okay..."
Kosdae grabbed Jin's hands and started running through the halls startling the disciples.
"Lady Kosdae you can—"
They keep running.
"Stop Lady Kosda—"
And running.
"Lady Kosd—"
A smile escaped Jin's face.
And soon they laugh.
As they strolled through the garden, the sound of their laughter filled the air.
"Lady Kosdae, you're
unstoppable!" Jin exclaimed between breaths, his heart racing with excitement.
They played and played until sunset when it was time to say goodbye.
Jin returned home with a smile on his face.
