Crescent Night

Chapter 6

It was dark and Haru Halmi was sitting on the porch, making her grandson a hanbok. When she looked up, a man with mask come towards her house. 

"Who goes there?" shouted Haru Halmi.

The man took the cloth off of his face revealing the king himself.

"Tejong, what are you doing here?" asked Haru Halmi.

The King explained what had happened to his son.

"Omona, how...I did everything I could to keep it away from her. Her magic must have gotten stronger over the years. But, what do you want me to do about it? It's not like I can fight her or get your son back with a flick of the wrist," said Haru Halmi

The King looked at her with desperate eyes, "I need your grandson, he is a powerful fire user, he could help the Ko twins."

Haru Halmi glared at him, "No, that is a bad idea, Tejong. He's just a boy."

"Haru Halmi, he is 20, an adult. He is no longer a boy. He is a man. I've trained him until he was 18. Dongmin is a strong young man with so many capabilities, I saw it in him," said the King.

Meanwhile, Dongmin was eavesdropping on their conversation. 

"Yea Halmi," he thought, "I should help."

Dongmin walked out and revealed himself.

"Dongmin, my boy, you have grown so much," exclaimed the King.

Haru Halmi shook her head, "Dongmin, go to your room, right now."

Dongmin stood firm, "Halmi, let me help them. I am strong enough to help them. For years, I've been trapped here in this town and never got to experience the world. I want to go out there...and fight for our kingdom."

The King nodded, "You heard the boy Halmi."

Haru Halmi looked at the King, than she looked at Dongmin. It was then when she finally realized that the boy she raised for all those years, had finally grown up.

She sighed, "Oh alright, but Dongmin, Guhyeon is a dangerous creature, you must be aware of your surroundings, and you must be alert at all times. Don't ever let your guard down, do not ever trust anyone except the twins, and most importantly...be safe my dear ganaji."

Dongmin nodded, "Yes Halmi, and don't worry, I'll be fine."

Haru Halmi smiled, "Go get your stuff and then go with Tejong."

Dongmin then hurried to his room to pack for his long journey.
