The Dawn of A New Sky - DISCONTINUED

XLIV

Calm

I immediately awoke as soon as I had felt the bloodlust in the air. It had been coming from Elder Mundok. I quickly grabbed his hand as an attempt to stop him from falling into deep anger and the need to kill someone.

"Elder Mundok." I called out his name.

His bloodlust and anger disappeared just as quickly as he turned to face me.

"Princess Yona." He said my name in relief although I could detect a hint of guilt in it.

I pleaded as I gripped his hand tightly. "Please quell your anger and reign in your bloodlust, Elder Mundok. I have no wish for you to fall into a frenzy of wanting to or even attempting to kill Soo-Won when you arrive at the palace. There is no need for that as of the moment."

He sighed and that was when I let go of his hand. "My apologies, Princess Yona."

I gave him a small smile. "That's alright. Please do not think much of it, that will be mine and Hak's problem to deal with. I just wish for you to protect the Wind Tribe, that is all I ask from you."

"I understand." He eventually answered although his tone was still slightly hesitant.

"Thank you." And then I turned to Hak. "Now, where is the food? I feel quite famished after our long trip!" I said in a-matter-of-factly tone.
