Ken did'n know how long they walked. They had left their cars at the entrance to the forest and since then they continued on foot path. Ken was exhausted, he could not feel his feet, but he had to move on. His friend needed him. He was so much afraid to not being able to protect him. It was his role as a guardian to ensure the safety of Hakyeon. He was shocked when he heard that someone had stolen the soul of his friend. He turned his head toward Leo. The latter was also really tired, Ken thought. Leo had carried the body of his friend all the way. Ken wanted to help but knew that Leo would not accept to separate himself from Hakyeon. He shook his head. He felt so useless. That's when Ae Cha called him to come to the beginning of the path. Ken joined her. "Yes my aunt," he said. "Jeahwan ah, here ends my power to lead the group. From now it's your turn to take over. " she said. Ken understood nothing. How could he lead a group of people on a path he did not know and from a place that was unknown to him? "My aunt, I do not know this place, I can not help you," he said. Ae Cha put his hand on his shoulder and said, "has confidence in you and advance". Ken was uncertain of the situation and had no confidence in him to find the way. But her aunt seemed to trust him and they had to find Hakyeon asap. He walked straight ahead. After a few times, Ken felt that the environment was changing. The air was lighter, more familiar trees. He felt soothed as if he was at home in his house. A smile came to his lips. "My aunt I like this place," he said, but he received no answer. He turned around. No one. There was nobody around. Ken began to panic. How could he be alone in this place ?They were a group a minute before. He turned and started to run. It was absolutely necessary that he finds his family and friends. Ken saw no one around him in the forest. Yet after a few minutes, his body hit a human form. Looking at the human form, Ken realized that it was Ravi. In his joy to see him, he put his arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then he looked around. Everyone was there. Was it a dream? Why few minutes before, he was alone in this forest? Upon questioning, Ae Cha replied with a smile. Ken stood up and walked toward her. "Sometimes I was alone, I could not see you," he said. "It's normal, you were made ​​in a territory where we were not welcome. You have to invite us for us to come with you. Congratulations you found the way. " said Ae Cha. Ken was perplexed. Why did he need to invite people on a territory that was not his? Ae Cha still hid a secrets from him. He should have a discussion with her, but for now Hakyeon needed them. Then he fell silent and began to walk. Around him there were even more people. He was alone in the forest, but Ken had the idea. "Come in," he said. The next second, he saw all his friends around him. Ae Cha was right, they had just entered a new part of the forest. 

Ken continued to walk. He did not know if he was on the right path. Since he had invited the group to a new part of the forest, they kept going in circles. Ken felt desperate. He prayed to not get lost in this forest. That's when he noticed the presence of a blue butterfly. This butterfly, as this forest seemed really familiar. He began to follow the butterfly. He was not sure it was the right choice but his instinct told him to continue. After several minutes, Ken began to feel pain in his chest. The more he advanced the more he was in pain. Ravi had rushed to him and had asked the group to take a break. "No young man, we must follow the track as it is still there or we risk losing it. This is normal for Jaehwan to be like that , it means we're on the right road, "said Cha Ae. Ken did not take a rest. He wanted to reach the destination. Then he continued forward. He felt Ravi's arm around him. It was a comfort because the pain was becoming increasingly difficult to bear. He had difficulty breathing. Why was he the only one with this problem? he asked himself. He felt Ravi lifted him in his arms. "Show me the way, I'll carry you " he said. Ken pointed to the blue butterfly but Ravi did not seem to see it. So he gave him his instructions by voice. After several minutes, Ken could not speak anymore. His chest made ​​him horribly suffer. He saw Ravi make him a smile and say, "here we are". Ken turned his head and saw an old house with a fireplace from which came smoke. He did not take the time to look over this house. He had fainted in the arms of his lover.


"Finally you wake up," said a female voice. Ken opened his eyes and looked around. His friends were sitting around a table and were eating. "I'm sorry I have not lifted the charm that protected my home. I do not expect the visit of my nephew, "the woman said again. Ken looked at her. She was beautiful, in their forties and seemed happy to see him. He tried to sit up but he was dizzy. "Easy, it's still early to get up. I made ​​you drink a potion. In a few minutes you should feel better. "Said the woman. Ken realized he felt at ease in her presence. What she had told him? He was his nephew? Its entire existence, no one had told him he had an aunt. So this woman had to be called him by this term because she was part of the brotherhood. He also had the habit of calling Ae Cha by the name of aunt, even if they had no relation. He saw the woman stroking his hair and kissing him on his forehead. "I am so happy to see you. When my sister had informed me of your birth, I wanted to see you right away, but I could not visit you, "she said sadly. Ken looked at her with surprise. "You knew my mother? "He asked her. "Of course, we grew up together. I am Choi, the big sister of your mother. We had to separate when your mother chose to marry your father and live among humans. Her death made ​​me so upset and I blame myself every day to let her go in human world. Your presence today in this place is a gift for me. Welcome home, "she said. Ken had only heard about half of the speech of this woman. She was his real aunt ? For years he had prayed to see his mother or a member of her family and now his prayer had been answered. He threw himself into the arms of Choi. Since he had learned that the soul of his friend was stolen, it was his first moment of happiness. He heard someone coughing behind. "I'm sorry to disturb you but we have to help my son. More he will remain in the hands of Shia and more he will lose strength, "said Cha Ae.


Choï looked at the people around her. Ae Cha had told her the whole story about the child of prophecy and on the flight of his soul. She knew her sister well enough to know she was capable of this action. Yet the three of us had all grown up happy and loving each other. Then her sisters had fallen in love with the same man. That's when the rivalry began. As Ken's parents loved each other more and more Shia hated them and wanted to hurt them. She ended up leaving their family and join the army of immortals. Choï had ended up losing all these sisters: one in the enemy camp and the other in the human world until her death. She could not hate neither one nor the other because it was her blood sisters. That's why she was alone in the house, sheltered from the world. However, she could not let Shia continue to hurt people. She had to stop her and save this child. "My sister is my sister so I can not fight against her, but I can help you enter her territory and to escape" she said. Ae Cha nodded her head. "My nephew is related by blood to our territories so there will be no problem for him to get in and out of her territory, but this is not the case with other people. The safest way would be to send dream walkers. They would be present with their minds but not their bodies. ". She got up and began to go through the room. She stopped at Onew. "I feel a strong connection with you. Who are you ? " she asked. Before Onew could answer, Ae Cha said, "I brought the Leleki". "Are you crazy? If they die it will be the end to your community "shouted Choï. "If my son dies, it will be the end for all communities," said Cha Ae. Choi looked at her a long time before concluding that she was right. She turned and continued her observation. She stopped at Leo. "Why did he smell the same as your son? "She asked Ae Cha. The latter blushed. She knew very well how Leo found himself wearing the scent of her son. She was still seeking the words to give a polite answer when a loud noise was heard. People had just entered the house and they were threatening.
