"The only place we could count on probably. The Capital of Fuga, my homeland" ...
The Capital of Fuga is also known as The Wind Tribe, the homeland of Son Hak. Hak was adopted by Son Mundok, the retired general and leader of the Wind Tribe. The adoption made Hak the former general and chief of the Wind Tribe. Located behind the mountains, the Wind Tribe borders the southern land of the Fire Tribe, the eastern lands of the Sky Tribe, and the Water Tribe, and the northern land of the neighboring southern country of Xing.

It didn't take the three long to reach the Capital of Fuga. Finally reaching the top of the stairs, they found themselves looking at two boys slacking off from their duties. A blonde and a black-haired guy. Not only were they slacking off from the job－but they were sleeping. Sitting in the middle of the entrance without a care in a world.
"These tribe guards seem to nap instead of doing their job?" Hak questioned while kicking the sleeping guards to the ground. Waking up from the kick, the two turned around to see a surprising face.
"Master Hak has returned?!"
The two guards loudly announced Hak's sudden arrival. An announcement which spread like a wild fire throughout the village.
"Hey stranger. Has it been ten years?" The black-haired guard wondered while yawning. "Did ya get fired from the general's post?" The blonde guard was also curious about the young lord.
Their attitude made Hak sigh as the both didn't seem to change at all. "It's been three. I see your laxness hasn't changed." This made the two show the laziest smile on their face. With their lazy smile, effortlessly the two waved their hands in a worm like manner. They say that the movement was supposed to imitate a wind's flow though.
"We're the wind clan. We live freely as the wind." The blonde guard explains before the other continue. "We sleep when we're sleepy." The two made Hak sigh even more.
Within minutes, villagers of both genders flocked around Hak excitedly. They were happy that their young lord had returned after three years. Compliments and warm words of "welcome back" were said by many.
"Please, talk at once." Hak insisted. Soon enough, the villagers' attention changed to Yona. "Oh, who's this little girl?" A middle-aged woman asked. "Perhaps, your women?" "No. These girls are court ladies in training." Hak sternly rejected the idea that Yona was his girl; it made Kanna laugh. "These? There's another one?" The question confused Hak and Yona. 'Did they not notice Kanna?' They both furrowed their eyebrow in confusion.
"You all must've not seen me since I was behind Hak's tall back. Sorry about that!" Kanna's small body peaked out behind Hak's back. Everyone was confused as they muttered quiet words of uncertainty.
"That's weird how'd we didn't notice her?" "I didn't see anyone behind Master Hak." "Isn't she kinda scary?" "If we didn't notice her, doesn't that mean we won't be able to notice other unknown things?" "I don't trust her."
The whispers continued. It was like their whispers turned to loud talks now. Everyone was calling monstruous names to Kanna. Their face showed terror. They were scared of the unknown. They were scared of Kanna. It suddenly stopped though. Everything was quiet. Their eyes became dull as their face expressionless. They became like dolls.
"Don't you think this situation suits you better, Inui?" Now Infront of Kanna was a face of the one who started everything. It was the face of her first love.
All nostalgic he looked. The face she desperately tried to forget. It felt like time stopped. The black hair that barely kept the back of his neck warm, his lifeless eyes which felt like he could see through Kanna...She felt cold, painful. It was as if someone was squeezing her heart. An itchy suffocating pain in her chest.
"I enjoy the face you're making right now, Inui." His voice, his face; everything about him made her shake in fright. "Calm down, ǝ̶̷̶ʞ̶̷̶𝓷̶̷̶𝓼̶̷̶ı̶̷̶ᗡɐ̶̷̶, is forever dead." The male smiled as he came closer to Kanna. "Did you think the heavens would allow such a foul human to roam Earth?" He raised his arm, creasing Kanna's cheek. "Such a shame a foul human like him infected our pure Inui. Now you're filthy like him-" "
"SHUT UP!"
She was furious. Now the heavens sent a henchman to check up on her－and they thought it was a marvelous idea to send the one who resented her the most? It's hilarious, no ridiculous. "Look at what he made you. Now you're acting like those humans, my dear." Kanna's eyes glinted with anger. "When I see that person's face, do you know what I want to do?"
Lifting her arms, she placed them on both sides of the man's neck. "I want to kill him." She used all of her strength to squeeze his neck. "I want to torment him like how he did to me." The veins in her arm started to appear. "I wanted to betray him like how he did to me." Kanna's face darkened as her hair started to cover her face.
The man tried to stop Kanna, trying to pry her hands away from his neck. Since he was too busy caring about his life, he failed to notice her lie. The lie that covered all of her emotions underneath a cloth.
She didn't feel hatred toward ǝ̶̷̶ʞ̶̷̶𝓷̶̷̶𝓼̶̷̶ı̶̷̶ᗡɐ̶̷̶. No, she just couldn't.
"I just wanted him to love me back." Kanna wailed. The tears she desperately tried to hold in came pouring out. Her grip weakened as the strength in her legs gave out. "No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried to satisfy him－he still didn't hesitate to betray me." Kanna cried while he coughed and gasped for air.
"He never cared about me." Kanna sobbed uncontrollably. Repeatedly, Kanna asked why a million of times. All of the emotions she hid, she now expressed it. The tears worth of two thousand years or so. The pain from losing her first love.
The henchman weakly chuckled, finding the scene humorous. "Who would've thought the heavens asked me to care for such a wretched woman."
The two then passed out in the black space.
