A time to take

Chapter 3

He quickly took power and left far from the tree but despite this, the feelings did not go away.

There has been no other moment where power manifested. It was now time for Choi Han to arrive in Henituse County.

He had planned to meet him in advance, he prepared a bottle of wine and some food. Choi Han later on had arrived after climbing a wall and came across two cats.

He gave the food to two hungry kittens that were near while he was watching the Korean. He couldn't help but think about how he ended up like that. But then, his vision blurred and he could see the destruction of the Harris village with the villagers being murdered and the village burning as Choi han returned from the forest. There was a strong smell of fire and blood remained, he could see Choi han turning towards him observing him with a dark look. He probably thought he was an assassin too but it ended like just likethat and he was right back in the dirty alley.

He had a strong feeling of nausea, this landscape and these smells reminded him of the earth. He quickly tried to stop himself from thinking, he didn't want to relive his own memories.

Fortunately or unfortunately, a sword brought to his blow took him out of his thoughts.

"Who are you ? Why did I see you that day?" The swordsman seemed very angry, he was about to attack him.

"I do not know what you're talking about." He didn't know what else to answer, even he couldn't explain how all this was possible.

"When they destroyed the village, you were there watching, why didn't you do anything?!" The more he spoke the angrier he got, his aura was manifesting. If Cale didn't speak quickly he would end up getting killed too.

"There's nothing I can do, I'm sorry. I don't understand how my power works. I tried but..."

"What are you talking about, what power?" He was not calmer but he at least listened.

"I seem to have the power of time but I don't know how to control it. I tried to change a past once and it got even worse." Cale seemed very sincere, even saying it with a look that was almost desperate, which was a bit like the case. This power allowed him to see things he didn't want to while he couldn't even act, he did feel so helpless.

"I'm sorry..." He apologized one last time while bowing slightly his head. Hoping he wasn't going to take offence and hit him.

Choi han wanted to be angry at this person but he couldn't, he could see that he was really desperate and he himself knows what it's like to be helpless in a situation where you really wanted to help...

"*sigh* I believe you." He could see the man's body fall in relief as he crouched on the ground in front of him.

" Are you doing well ?" Choi han asked with slight worry.

" Yes I am fine thank you." His face gradually turned pale now that the stress of the situation had passed, the feelings they had felt before came back stronger. It seems that his power doesn't even let him breathe a little.

"How did you survive?" Cale asked with a shaky voice.

Choi han just furrowed his brows in confusion.

"I... I can feel people's feelings in the moments I see... it was overwhelming, suffocating... you were angry but deeply sad..."

Now Choi han almost felt pity, the man in front of him seemed lost, he looked at those eyes they seemed distant.

"For them, I have to take revenge, I want the people who did this to pay with their lives." He provided the only answer he could give.

"I understand, I can help you a little if you want even if it's not much. I am the son of the count who administers the territory of your village, I can introduce you to him. »

" Really ?" He asked with a little hesitation but at the same time hope.

"Yes, come with me." He looked at the swordsman's leg before continuing, "Do you need help?"

"No, I can do it alone...thanks." He couldn't ask someone who could barely stand to help him walk.

Cale started walking followed by Choi han towards the domain, on the way he was quite relieved that the meeting he had with Choi han was different than the one the young book master had with Choi han.

"...not yet..." Choi han could hear the words of the man in front of him before feeling the same power as before, the air distorted around them. Except that nothing changed, they simply returned to their path.

"What-" He was about to ask but he could see the person in front of him start to sway so he quickly grabbed him by the shoulder to keep him standing and faced him.

" What has happened ?" He asked again, before seeing blood flowing from the nose of the noble in front of him.

"I don't know, it was going to happen again but it just stopped, I don't understand..." He really seemed as confused as he was, so he couldn't ask anything else.

"And the blood?"

"This is what happens when I use it several times, whether intentional or not. » He felt tired but he stood up straight and continued walking, wiping the blood from his nose with the sleeve of his shirt.

The swordsman didn't say anything and just followed him silently until they arrived near the mansion. The guards moved away from the door with just one word from the young master.

He asked another butler to take care of him once he was inside a strong looking old man unlike the weak person he had met. The young master apologized to those around them saying that he was tired, he simply left when no one was looking at him. Choi han didn't really know why but he felt a form of sympathy and pity for him.

He didn't meet him until the next day, he had already been able to meet the count and talk to him about the incident. The count assured him that the inhabitants of the village would receive a decent burial. It was more than he had hoped for.

He asked to meet the young master one more time to thank him before leaving, he still had revenge to accomplish and he seemed to have found other people who shared his plans.

Arriving in front of young master Cale's door, as he had learned earlier, he knocked and after agreement from the young master to enter, he did so.

He was standing not far from him now, he was sitting on his bed not looking or doing anything in particular but his expression was still as tired as the day before, he vaguely wondered what this power would end up doing to a person like him , feeling other people's feelings especially so painful could do to someone's mind, even he wouldn't want something like that.

"I came to thank you for your help." Choi han spoke cutting the silence in the room.

Cale is just looking at it before seemingly making a decision on something.

"Are you planning to leave with Ron and Beacrox for your revenge."
