Chapter 5

The Great Shrink of Hwinsan is where the Queen communicates with the gods. This shrink is in a large cave and brightly lit even though it was midnight, because many torches and candles lit it. In the middle of the cave there is a fire that burns and never goes out, even long before Asa Cho built this kingdom. In this place, the sacred trial will be held to prove that Tanya is fit to be queen. Now she is standing facing the fire.

Asa Ron with the Hwinsan elders and religious servants had gathered. Not only from the Hwinsan kingdom, the kings and important people from the other small kingdoms under the authority of Arthdal ​​also gathered, accompanied by bodyguards from each kingdom. And of course Tagon, who will soon become the king of Arthdal ​​and as the guardian of Tanya all this time, was also present. Mubaek, Tagon's bodyguard, and Yangcha, who are still status as Tanya's bodyguards, were also there.

"Let's begin, what are you waiting for?" Asa Ron said.

"I've learned this spirit dance dozens or even hundreds of times in my 'prison'. I can do it," Tanya thought.

She closed her eyes, her hands clasped to her chest.

"Mother Asa Sin, if I really am your daughter, help me to be able to prove it to them."

Tanya also began to dance according to what Mumyeongjin taught since she was a kid. She did step by step correctly, without any mistakes.

Meanwhile there was a strange flutter that started tickling Yangcha's heart when he saw Tanya's graceful dance. Just one word to describe his current feelings, fascinated.

Suddenly Tanya's perfect dance stopped. Everyone began to whisper. Tagon began to worry.

"What's wrong, young girl? Did you forget?" Asa Ron taunted.

'Cough ...' Tanya coughed while holding her neck.

She suddenly made a sound like someone who was suffocating or choking. Her hands seemed to choke her own neck and she sat down. Tagon got to his feet when he saw that.

"Asa Ron ..." Tanya hissed in a voice that sounded like the voice of an old woman.

"Th ... that's the voice of Queen Asa Sakan ..." cried one of the elders.

And everyone was shocked, especially Asa Ron.

"Asa Ron ... how dare you ... kill your own mother!"

Tanya coughed and paused for a moment with her head bowed. Everyone was still watching her closely, and was immediately surprised when the girl suddenly screamed and cried.

"Why are you doing all this to me, brother? WHY ???"

This time, the voice of Asa Sin.

"You killed my mother ... you killed my husband ... and now you want to kill my child?"

Tanya got up and finished the dance, not the gentle dance she had danced before. The dance this time seemed to be firmer and stronger, the same as Asa Sin usually did.

Her hands raised pointing to a hole in the ceiling of the temple. Suddenly all the candles and torches goes out. The shrink became dark, only lit by the moonlight from the roof hole. A firefly entered through the hole and landed in Tanya's hand.

There was a woman's voice, which they had never heard before,

"This child is the last mission I gave to Asa Sin. Through her, I will return everything as it was in the beginning."

The torch and candle lit miraculously again. And Tanya was lying unconscious in the middle of the room.
