"This is your first time meeting Ik-su, isn't it?" Yoon hummed. I nodded, studying the beautiful area around us. We where heading through a valley, a forest before us and high cliffs above us. It was beautiful.

"I assume the priest? I've heard of him, but never have had the fortune of meeting him" I agreed, looking around in wonder. Much to the amusement of my comrades.

"I wonder how he is going, last time we saw him he wasn't in the best shape" Yona chuckled.

"That's an understatement..." Yoon muttered. We rounded the corner and a smile crept across my face. There was a small hut, surrounded by the cliffs and forest. It was very pretty.

"Ik-su, are you dead?" Yoon called, pulling open the door.

"What a greeting" I chuckled under my breath. There was a response, and then a somewhat teary reunion. We waited outside for them. I was eager to go explore the forest, to see more sights. It wasn't on the maps of Kouka, it was drawn as uncharted and unused area. But it was so pretty!

"My, what an honor" A familiar voice said behind me. A frown stretched across my face and I slowly turned around. My jaw dropped when I saw the man before me, causing the others to frown.

"Ik-su!" I gasped.

"You've matured so much" Ik-su chuckled as I ran over, jumping on him and hugging him tightly.

"You two know each other?" Yoon asked, confused.

"He gave me some food when I was in my old village" I beamed, my arms around Ik-su's stomach and lifting him up in the air and spinning in a circle, making him chuckle awkwardly.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Ik-su asked as I lowered him.

"We where wondering what to do next" Yona piped up.

"Hmm... Your sword and shield are yet to appear. But I suggest resting here for a while, all of you must be tired" He smiled, looking specifically at me. I sweat dropped, not really enjoying the attention he was giving me. He was studying me as if I might break down at any second, in anger or tears.

"Of course. Alright everyone, get to your duties" Yoon said. It was just as I predicted. There was nothing to do. Everyone believed in my skills, but didn't want me to struggle, even though it didn't affect my daily life that much... Never mind, It affected my daily life a lot.

"You've changed so much" Ik-su chuckled, ruffling my hair as I watched my comrades all depart, going seperate ways.

"You on the other hand, haven't changed at all" I chuckled, turning to him.

"Hmm... I think my hair as grown longer. Though you have turned yourself into quite a hero. Not even fate could predict your path" He said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, frowning at him.

"Nothing!" He quickly gasped, chuckling awkwardly. My frown deepened, before shaking my head.

"Anyway, I never realized you where a priest. It's an honor" I chuckled, bowing slightly.

"It is much more of an honor to meet you once again" he chuckled shaking his head.

"Why?" I asked, cocking my head in confusion.

"You are a hero, it is much more of an honor to meet you" he explained, chuckling slightly.

"A hero..." I muttered, frowning at my self.

"Of course!" He gasped, grinning at me.

"I think you over estimate me. I'm nothing impressive" I chuckled, crossing my arms and shaking my head.
