They disappeared into the woods.

"Aist ... Tanya stop it!" Eunsom shouts in between. He tries to evade the stones she hurls at him. He starts to grin. The moment was just so familiar.

Tanya grabs more stones. She looks around and he is nowhere to be seen.

She treads slowly looking around hand ready.

"Oh come out! Scared of my stones? Coward!!" She felt like grinning. This was them. The old them.

She shrieks when somebody grab her from behind. She tries to hit him but Eunsom hold is strong.

"Hey, I am sorry

"Hey, I am sorry." Eunsom relaxes his hold at Tanya. She stops hitting him. They stare at each other, beginning to laugh. He suddenly hugs her.

"You are safe. It's been so long. I thought I would never see you again." He felt so relieved seeing her now.

She looks accusingly at him. She hit him softly.

"Why?" She said sounding hurt. He knows what she meant.

"I couldn't come back. After all that happened," he remembered everything painfully.

"It was my fault! More lives were lost ..." he couldn't continue. He was so naive back then. Thinking his ideas would work. After each try, he failed.

"I failed. I failed the Wahan clan ... I failed you.. " he said bitterly. He heard her sigh.

"Nobody blames you for it," Tanya tried to reassure him. She heard about what happened in Doldambul. She wanted to hear it from him but knew it was too hard.

"A lot has happened. We are not who we used to be," Tanya said sadly. He nods.

"So, you are the high priestess of Arthdal now," he said cautiously. He looks at her. She looks so different from the Tanya he knows.

She is wrapped in some silky flowing material that hugs her body and flow beautifully. No more is the braided hair and smudged face. She became more beautiful and serene.

"Yes ... " she said quietly. They have a lot to talk about.

"I tried to free you in Doldambul, but I was too late. They said you escaped. I didn't know where you went. I couldn't send anybody because Tagon might notice."

"I found my way here because of promises and friendships," Eunsom started. Without them, he might have lost himself with the burden of his failures. They were walking back. He wanted her to meet these people who welcomed him, believed in him.

"I found hope and strength here, that I might be able to save you this time ..." he tries to smile. Tanya feel her heart break at his words.

"I need your help," she looks at him. "Can .. you accompany me ... back to where I was captured?"She looks hopeful. She had to know what happened to Yangcha.
