"AHHHHHH!" cried Jiyoo as she woke up. She was sweating and shaking with fear. Her twin brother, Minjoon, rushed into her room.
"What's the matter? Were you dreaming that dream again? You know, the one with the battle between the Kumiho and the Dragon?" said Minjoon, "You really need to stop screaming. Aren't you used to that dream by now?"
Jiyoo glared at Minjoon and sighed, "I know, but it seems so real, and it feels more real every night."
Just then, Master Lee, the head of the Black Death rushed in.
"Jiyoo, are you alright?" asked Master Lee.
Jiyoo nodded, "Yes sir."
Minjoon stood up, "It's the same dream sir, just like every other night."
Master Lee sighed with relief, "Well, if anyone isn't attacking my best student, then I shall be on my way back to bed. Oh and Minjoon, a word please."
"Yes sir," replied Minjoon, "Jiyoo, go back to bed, or I'll knock you out."
Jiyoo laughed, "Ha, like that's going to happen."
Minjoon smirked and walked out. Master Lee then gently grabbed Minjoon's arm and took him where no one can hear.
"It's getting worse every night. It's been 3 weeks since she started to have those dreams," whispered Master Lee.
"I understand sir, but master, do you think these dreams mean anything? She keeps telling me that it seems so real," said Minjoon.
Master Lee sighed, " I'm not exactly sure. Let's keep an eye on her for now. Go back to bed, you have training tomorrow."
"Yes sir," said Minjoon.

Dongmin was practicing his fire powers quietly in his backyard.
"Turn, then put my hand forward, and shoot," said Dongmin as he shot a small fireball at the wet target.
He then felt a hard slap on his neck.
"Ow!" he cried.
He turned around to an angry Haru Halmi.
"My dear, what did I say about practicing your powers in the open, and without my supervision. What if you got hurt, or worse, taken away!" yelled Haru Halmi.
"Yes, I understand halmi," sighed Dongmin.
Haru Halmi was baffled, "Well if you understand then do what I say. Do not, I repeat, do not EVER use your powers without my supervision. I know that your abilities are a part of you, but you need to be careful, and know when to use it."
"Yes halmi," said Dongmin.
Haru Halmi looked at Dongmin, "My ganagaji, I know you feel empty when you don't use your powers, but you must understand. I don't want to lose you to the Black Death. When they find out that you have powers, they will take you and train you to be a ruthless assassin."
Dongmin sadly looked at Haru Halmi, "But halmi, you said that the Black Death eliminates the bad guys. Isn't that a good thing?"
Haru Halmi sighed, "Yes, however I never agreed with their ways. Please promise me Dongmin. Promise me that you will be careful. I cannot bear to lose you, my ganagaji."
Dongmin smiled sadly and held Haru Halmi's hands, "I promise halmi, you don't have to worry about losing me."
