King of the South
Chapter 2
Gong Yoo sighed as he approached Sally and Orr. Sally is still weak. She just recovered from severe injury from the battle against Kong a few days ago.
"How is Bogum?" asked Orr
Gong Yoo shook his head.
"He still hasn't accepted the fact that his father is now dead. And now the evil monster who was behind the deaths in his family and his people are residing inside him." Said Gong Yoo
Right after Prince Hyun Bin died, Bogum felt a strong force enter his body. Bogum immediately looked for Gong Yoo because of the unsettling feeling he had. And found Gong Yoo sitting on the ground by the wall, holding Hyun Bin's dead body.
"The Prince is not taking everything well. I can't blame him." Said Gong Yoo
Orr sighed.
"Are you sure you are both fit to travel?" asked Gong Yoo
"We need to." Said Sally. "We have to keep searching for the Lion King's heir."
Sally looked around.
"It seems our number decreased." Said Sally
"Some of the people went back to their clans for now." Said Gong Yoo
"Does that mean the Prophesy is going to spread among the people of Vishox?" asked Sally
"That's a possibility. Some of our members would probably want to encourage the others. The prophesy is a strong reason to join the Order." Said Gong Yoo
"I am just afraid enemies will be alerted." Said Sally
"I get why you're concerned. Don't worry. I will try to diffuse the news about the prophesy should it spread." Said Gong Yoo
"There is something I have not told you yet about the prophesy." Said Sally. "Something I have only remembered this morning."
"What is it?" asked Gong Yoo
"Before I saw the Kings rose on the thrones... I saw the moon... It was the color of blood. I think it must be the sign. Once the moon turns red, that means the prophesy is starting its fulfilment." Said Sally
"A blood moon." Said Gong Yoo
Sally nodded.
"I will surely remember that." Said Gong Yoo.
Sally held Gong Yoo's arm.
"In the instance that the beast is released..." said Sally.
"Prince Bogum will never allow that. His grandfather's murderer... his father's murderer... the enemy that can destroy Vishox... How can he allow that beast to freely roam?" said Gong Yoo
Sally shook her head.
"I mean Bogum's son. Bogum's son does not know how evil that beast is. He would not know the pain of losing Prince Hyun Bin and King Max because he never had a personal relationship with them..." said Sally
"You mean he can break the seal... he may seek his pleasure." Said Gong Yoo
Sally sighed and handed Gong Yoo a wooden bracelet. The bracelet has ancient writings on it.
"We had a very long discussion before Sally and I decided to give you this." Said Orr
"What is this?" asked Gong Yoo
"Orr and I will be protecting the East as its Elders. We will continue looking for the Lion King's heir... in case the beast is freed, we may not be around immediately to help you. That is why... we are leaving you with this bracelet." Said Sally
Gong Yoo held the bracelet and felt a strong force coming from it.
"It has a spell... It is a strong spell. If the beast comes out, you will need to seal him back yourself, Gong Yoo." Said Sally
Gong Yoo's eyes widened.
"But I am not a sorcerer." Said Gong Yoo.
"The bracelet will enable you. It will give you the power you need to seal the beast. I will give you the chant you need to make. You have to memorize it. When that day comes... you will be able to seal the beast back to the heir's body." Said Sally
Orr and Sally exchanged a wary glance at each other.
"But...Starting today, you have to wear this bracelet so that when the time comes that you will need to use its power... it will obey you." Said Orr. "However...it has a consequence..."
"What is the consequence?" asked Gong Yoo
"While you are wearing the bracelet... it will weaken you. It will make your body age very fast. A month will feel like a decade... it means your life span as an ancient creature... will be shortened substantially." Said Sally
"We are giving you this so you can choose, Gong Yoo. You can ignore the bracelet. Your life will not be put at stake. Maybe Sally and I are just too paranoid about this matter. Who knows... Bogum's child maybe able to control his sexual desires." Said Orr
"I will think about this... But rest assured the future of Vishox... the Demanix Order will always be first." Said Gong Yoo. "I appreciate that you are being proactive, for the protection of Vishox."
"Take care of Prince Bogum." Said Orr
Gong Yoo nodded.
"Once you have news about the Lion King...." Said Gong Yoo
"We will surely look for you." Said Orr "Until then... please keep safe."
