"Qianxi! Watch out!" their leader yelled as he saw a creatures that seemed like a human but with a distorted face with a wide grin on it's face along with long sharp limbs.

Immediately, Qianxi-known as their youngest jumped out of his position just in time as the said creature had pierced it's sharp limb pierced through the ground before it let out a ear piercing screech. Qianxi scrunched his nose in disbelief at it's skhht before taking out his sword from it's sheath that was slung across his back. "What kind of creatures do you think are these, Yuan? They aren't the same as those we fought before, " he commented.

"I have to agree with you on that," the shortest-Yuan spoke as he took out his own sword while their leader is already face to face with one of the monsters. "Quit talking for a bit guys and focus. They're increasing already!"

"Sorry/Will do, Junkai!" the two chorused towards the eldest before charging towards the unknown monsters.

As Junkai swung his own sword, he chanted under his breath-and without a second wasted, blue flames covered his sword and slashed through three creatures infront of him.

The three creatures let out a loud screech as blue flames engulfed them before they turned into ashes. "Down you go," Junkai grinned and charged towards the others.

Yuan on the other side had did so as well-as he chanted words of his own, what appeared out of his own sword were light of green streaks that shielded his body and his sword glowed. "Farewell," he spoke as he swung his own sword at the monster without even having it (the sword) come contact with the monster.

The monster was sliced up into pieces as if the wind simply pierced right through it before disappearing into thin air.

Qianxi, on the other hand-who obviously did the same, had his sword sending out red sparks or more like small lightning as he swung it towards his own opponent which was the creatures who had attempted to pierce him with it's sharp limbs.

The said creature was electrocuted as it came contact with the lad's own sword causing it to scream a devillish one before turning into dust.

Meanwhile back in the Palace, inside Yangmi's Chambers...

Yangmi's PoV

I paced around back and forth inside my room before settling myself down uneasily on my bed.

Something isn't right.. It feels as if that it has started already. I thought to myself before letting out a sight.

Gazing out of the window just across me, it felt like the moon was calling me. And so, once again I stood up and walked over it. "Mother..?" I called out with a small voice and I could feel the wind as it enveloped me with a weirdly warm breeze-as if hugging me. I smiled because of this.

Physically, my dear Mother-the Empress is no longer present. However, her spirit remains mostly within the Moon and the Wind.

"I am not wrong with my visions, right? What should I do? Is there anything we can do to prevent the destruction?" I continued and stared up at the Moon.

As if on cue, the Wind blew once again-this time stronger but it was towards the small pond by the small flower garden I had. The wind caused the water in the pond to splash onto the growing wild weeds near some rocks on the edge.

I pursed my lips, thinking of what it could mean when an idea struck me.

"Where can we get help.. Can you give us signs, Mother?"

This time.. The wind blew and something small flew and had found its way into my room.

I looked towarss the object and blinked before walking and bending over to pick it up.

A four leaved clover?
