19: New Land

Previously...

"Shit, Captain Man Hul!" Mi Na and the soldiers quickly kneeled down, looking at him. "The injury....it-it's severe, he's leaking too much blood. Someone get me some medical equipments. Anyone! Any medics here?" Mi Na looked around, raising her eyebrows when all the soldiers shook their heads.

"We only had two medics, they died..." they hung their heads low in grief.

"Goddammit why must it be like this?!" Han Sou yelled in angered disappointment. He turned to face gis father, holding Man Hul's weak body with trembling hands. "Abeoji, just...just hang on, arachi?" Han Sou stuttered in fear, holding Man Hul tightly. "W-we'll get there soon enough, and when we do, we will find you the best doctor there is. Trust me, abeoji, just hold on, please." he shut his eyes tight, tears threatening to fall. As he was about to pull the dagger out his chest, Man Hul quickly grabbed Han Sou's hand, stopping his son.

"D-don't, my son...." he groaned, blood starting to fall from his mouth. "I don't have much time. Besides, I can already hear Sang Gang calling for me. I can.....I can hear him whispering to me, he's calming me down." he chuckled before coughing out blood. He looked at Han Sou, reaching out to caress his son's cheek softly. "The Cha family never gives up, Han Sou-ah. Remember what we came here for, to make a better future for our kingdom. Be strong, d-don't let my death hinder your quest.." he stated, releasing his last breath as his hand fell to the floor. Man Hul's eyes soon closed, and Han Sou could feel his body weakening, the warmth slowly disappearing. He widened his eyes and hugged his lifeless father tightly, crying silently.

"A-abeoji...." he sobbed, almost choking on his tears, still hugging the dead body with full love, not wanting to let go of it. "Fucking fucks! It should've been me goddammit!" Ji Won looked at the scene with teary eyes, cupping her mouth, she was too pained to witness this any longer, and so she quickly turned to her back, mourning on her own. Mi Na clenched her fists, her breaths were unstable and she was panting. This made her hate The Horn even more, and it further increased her motivation to kill them all. Soon, Ji Won saw something, and she quickly patted her sister's shoulder, earning her attention.

"Unnie, unnie!" she gasped.

"What is it?" Mi Na asked weakly and turned back, only to be greeted by the sun that had rose up and shine brightly, making a huge and wide land visible to them all. Mi Na widened her eyes and moved closer, looking at the many houses and tall buildings and structures she could see clearly. This land was much larger compared to Gariya, and she already knew where they were.

"W-we're here!" Ji Won raised her eyebrows, looking at Mi Na before looking at the soldiers.

"Hwangmo" Mi Na whispered upon arriving on the totally new land.

-

"We're finally out of Gariya. We're on a new land." Mi Na widened her eyes, holding onto the rail on the ship, standing on the deck while looking at the countless buildings, the numbers of small birds flying around the huge towns, and the boats sailing across some other rivers too. She then looked at her sister Ji Won, the both of the sisters surprised at the fact that they had finally entered a new world they had never went to. Upon further notice, Mi Na squinted her eyes as she caught a glimpse of the docks, and there seemed to be guards around.

"Judging by how many men there are, and the way they are armed, I am guessing we need permission first before we get off board." Ji Won breathed out and folded her arms in disappointment. "We can't just say we're the princesses from Gariya. This is not Gariya after all, this is Hwangmo, a totally new land, a totally new world with no king to rule." she huffed.
