ROYAL GARDEN (Corrupted Version)

Journey to the Nation of Glass

When we departed from the city ruins, I asked Donghae which nation we should go first and he decided that we should go to the Nation of Glass because it was closer to us.

"Hey, Donghae if you don't mind me asking, but what did the old knight say to you?" I asked

"It was about you, it's a secret that only a few know about but it's better if the Queen of Solarium tells you." Donghae replied

I started to think what that secret could be, but I just gave up on it. The journey was going to be long so it was for the best that I forget about it, until we reached the Nation of Glass. While we traveled I was amazed by the world around us.

The beautiful valley was so vast and filled with wildlife, and more beautiful since the sun was setting, so we made camp on top of a flat hill.

"Okay, we'll set camp here, we should be safe from any predators." Donghae said as he was putting his bags down. "You, should get some sleep we'll be starting your training in the morning."

As, I laid my wool blanket on the ground, I looked up at the dark sky filled with many stars I was completely mesmerized by the view. That I still couldn't believe that this was my real home, all these times I've been living in a completely different world.

Where everything is more civilized and modern and here is the complete opposite you have magic, kingdoms, queens and kings, like living in a fairy tale.

Shortly after I closed my eyes, everything went dark.

As, I opened my eyes I felt heavy, my vision was blurred, my surroundings were different I was no longer on the hill with Donghae. I was in an area that was completely empty, everything was dead. I then noticed a person in the distance I tried to call out but I couldn't, I didn't have a voice but I could still hear. The person seemed normal although I couldn't see their face, the person then slowly started to walk towards me, I tried so hard to move but I couldn't. I felt so much pressure on me, that caused me to stay still I felt such a dangerous aura around the person, then the mysterious person started to speak.

"So, your the missing heir." As the person approached closer

Telling from her voice, it was a female but I still couldn't see her face because of the hood she was wearing and for being really dark.

"I don't want to hurt you, mostly because I have no reason too."

I couldn't see her face but I knew she had a smile and then suddenly she was behind me, I didn't even see her move. As she was behind me she put her arms around my shoulders and whispered in my ear.

"We both want the same thing....Hyunjin.." She then started to point in front of me while remaining behind me.

I couldn't see anything until I heard footsteps, I was shocked by what I saw in front of me it was a large scale army and they were all dressed the same just like how the person who tried to kill me was.

She then reappeared in front of me again an instant and said "Once, everything is over I'll be back."

I was then pushed back and fell back into my wool blanket.

I then awoke with a loss of breath and hurried to go see Donghae about my dream or if it was a dream.

"Donghae! Where are you?" I shouted 

Donghae then showed up carrying some type of small animal in his hand, once he saw my face of worry he started to ask what was wrong. As he prepared the small animal to be eaten I slowly and calmly explained my dream to him.

"Hmm..it wasn't a dream" He said with a focused look

"What do you mean it wasn't a dream? If not then what?" I replied back slightly agitated slowly starting to think he wouldn't believe me.

"A vision" He said with confidence "But, with you it wasn't just a normal vision it was more than just that."

Donghae then started to think what it could have been until he realized something that gave him a shocked expression.

"What is it? You figured something out?" I said

"It has to be clairvoyance..." As he looked at me "Anyway, let's just eat and start on your training so we can move on."

"Okay...let me get my things real quick." I replied back

When, I approached my sword I got a really painful headache and I heard a familiar voice. "You'll need more than a sword, unleash your true power, only then you'll reach your goal."  

"Donghae, I'm ready to start"

We spent almost all day training, I was exhausted but we had to keep moving so we packed our wool blankets and continued to move on towards the Nation of Glass. Donghae also mentioned that every nation is separated by a vast valley like the one where we made camp.

But each valley is unique, they each have different properties like different kinds of animals, minerals, and plants. He, also mentioned that every nation is very cautious about outsiders, especially to those who look suspicious.

"Okay, were here we have arrived to the Nation of Glass." Donghae said

 "Are, you sure this is the place we just entered another forest." I replied back

"Of course I'm sure just look around you'll see crystals everywhere." He said as we continued deeper into the forest.

He wasn't lying about crystals being everywhere, I wonder why considering that crystals were found underground. But here there everywhere in the trees, in the ground, there were some really tiny ones just floating around.

It was such a beautiful sight, even more beautiful during the night because they were glowing different colors, some were blue, white, green, yellow and even pink. I was completely mesmerized.

"Okay, since were near the kingdom." Donghae stopped and turned around to look at me " We'll set camp here near one of the main roads leading into the kingdom." 

I can finally relax and sleep, hopefully nothing goes wrong and I can finally get some answers once we enter the kingdom and meet with the King and Queen.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
