Divine Move

TWO

Yangcha feels at lost. He doesn't know what to do with this situation. Should he tell Tagon? Does it matter that she can hear his thoughts? He could tell others, if they can understand him at all. He never had tried talking to any of the Daekan warriors. Everyone just let him be. And it didn't bother him. Until now.

Was he cursed? Or does she have some super powers because she is the direct descendant of Asa Sin? And to add to that, why does she start talking to him. He was better off when she just does her thing and he follows her around.

"I should be more careful next time." Yangcha thought. She might use my thoughts against me. Until he knows her plans, he would keep everything a secret for now.

Tanya receives her callers and talks to them as patiently as she can. They all want some blessing for their actions, reassurance that Niruha will pray for them.

Yangcha noticed that the priestess always listens, looks the people in the eye and smiles reassuringly.

"She is pretty, more so when she smiles." Yangcha thought then suddenly looked at Tanya if she heard him. But the priestess continue to talk with the visitors. He relaxes. Maybe she can't hear me when she is talking with others, or when I am far.

He looks at her noting the smooth skin, the expressive eyes, the body silhouetted by the white gown and bathed by sunshine from the windows. Like an angel. He sighs, just like last time, he can't stop beginning to admire her. He checks again if she is hearing anything from him. Aside from the blush on her cheeks that he thinks is from the heat, she looks normal.

Acting normal was the hardest thing Tanya had to do at the moment. She was trying her best to listen to the conversation with her guests but she could feel the Daekan warrior's gaze on her. It wasn't helping that she can actually hear his thoughts. She can handle curses, whacking, torture but compliment. It was a first. Nobody has said that about her, even Eunsom. She was respected as the future mother of Wahan, but to hear him say those words made Tanya warm inside. She could feel the heat spreading to her cheeks.

"I think I am bit tired, " she said hastily. Yangcha took it as some order to signal outside that nobody enters and close the door behind him. He remained at one corner standing guard, with the priestess within view.

Silence.

Tanya looked at Yangcha and started blushing. She can't be like this for a few compliments.

"What's wrong with her? She looks feverish..." Yangcha wondered when he passed a look at her.

"I am not! " I am just feeling hot being here so long, lets go outside," Tanya hurriedly said going to the door.

Outside, Tanya didn't know which way to go and decides to visit her father. Seeing her father would distract her from this nonsense thoughts. But her father was nowhere to be seen in Fire fortress. They said he was called to somewhere. Tanya found that odd that her father didn't tell her anything.

She decides to visit the other Wahan members, but can't find any of them too. Tanya begins to panic. She feels something has happened to them. When they reach her room she goes to the window, scanning Arthdal.

" Where are they?!" Tanya said in frustration. She looks at Yangcha. "Do you know anything? Did Tagon order something? " she cried. Yangcha shakes his head.

"Yangcha, I need you to look for them. Please.." she pleaded to the warrior.

Yangcha saw the worry in her eyes.

"I can't leave you. I am ordered to guard you." Yangcha thought.

"No, this is more important than my life. I can't let anything happen to them. This is an order Yangcha!" Tanya said hysterically. She can't think clearly. My Wahan people. There are so few of us already. She could feel the tightness in her chest. She is feeling dizzy.. the darkness starts to engulf her..

"Niruha, breathe!! " Yangcha catches the priestess as she fall. He doesn't know what to do. He contemplates calling the servants then decides to carry her to her bed. He took a wet cloth and placed it on her face, cooling her.

"She is a delicate one, why she worries for others. She should worry for herself," Yangcha thought flatly.
