Their hands froze, a cold ache penetrated all the way to the bone. They stood stiff, fixated on staring at the Phoenix statue. His fear grew so real as slowly the layers of this stone began to crack on various sides. The mood is getting gripping.
They're trying to fight my fear of trying to control themselves. Until finally the entire layer of hard rock was successfully knocked out. The Phoenix began to try to move his stiff-looking body after years of never moving at all.
They took a few steps back, giving this creature a little space.
The phoenix in Egyptian mythology is a kind of sacred legendary fire bird. This firebird is described as having very beautiful feathers in red and golden colors. Phoenix is said to live for 500 or 1461 years. After living that long, the Phoenix burned itself.
Oliver was amazed to see his charm so stunning. It was so beautiful, he had never seen such a beautiful bird before. The most often he saw were black crows and sparrows that were never absent every day. Usually the little birds fly around the school, then stop for a moment on the roof, roof top or even on the edge of the window.
Ga Eun ventured to approach the creature while remaining vigilant. But it seems that this one Phoenix has complied with Ga Eun and does not consider the people around her a new threat to her.
Slowly Ga Eun gently stroked the body of the Phoenix bird with great care. His eyes closed while casting a spell. A moment after that, there appeared a woman with a face that was no less beautiful.
The woman immediately hugged Ga Eun tightly while whispering something that Jongdae and Oliver could not hear.
"I'm sorry Ga Eun's aunt."
Ga Eun cupped the woman's cheeks with both hands. His eyes turned very serious.
"I freed you to follow Very to Orton" said Ga Eun.
"Will I be a statue again after all these years?"
"As long as this task I give you is well done, I'll set you free."
"But why am I following mom to Orton?"
"Your sister is at risk for her life."
"The kid at the time? What made you leave me here alone? Nah! I'm not gonna do it."
Basically Nhea and Eun Ji Hae suffered the same fate. They were both abandoned by their parents since childhood. The brand both grew up and grew up under the tutelage of Ga Eun. But this is the harsh reality they must accept.
"I beg you Brother Ji, please save Nhea." said Jongdae while kneeling before the woman who looked older than him.
"Who are y'all? Oh. I know, definitely the eighth generation. Ever since I was convicted, I never knew what was going on around me. Everything feels empty. Like being asleep in a very long time," said Eun Ji Hae.
"Already! Follow my orders or I'll give you back to your original form" Ga Eun threatened.
Hearing a snapping sentence from her own aunt, made Eun Ji Hae think twice about refusing her orders. Actually he was not at all willing to help the sister who brought him to the misfortune. But this was the only chance for this girl to break this curse for good.
"Alright," Eun Ji Hae replied with a heavy heart.
"Bring this letter and tell Vallery. Meet him at Orton, Vallery and Wilson are attending meetings there. Make sure you actually deliver this letter to their hands," explained Ga Eun while giving a piece of paper that has been rolled up and put in a glass bottle.
"But let some Pegasus and Griffin come with me" Eun Ji Hae bargained.
Of course he also needs transportation to get there.
"When will I get it?"
"Since I cursed you, that power has been in your body. You idiot!" said Ga Eun while pointing at Eun Ji Hae's face.
"really? Oh, well no problem. But please let the two creatures come with me. Dad and mom can't go home with their own kids as their vehicles, right?"
Ga Eun hisses angrily then orders Jongdae to release one of the Pegasus from his cage. Meanwhile, he himself called out to a Griffin who was standing guard at the gate.
Every entrance to this place has indeed been guarded by a minimum of a Griffin. These animals are usually also needed during the final semester evaluation for students. Usually they will try to conquer this one creature.
A few minutes later, Jongdae arrived with a Pegasus with him.
"Go with Eun Ji Hae. Get Vallery and Wilson. Bring them back here immediately" Ga Eun explained to the two animals.
Because they are mythological creatures that live in this school environment, it is very easy for them to digest and understand every human word here.
Both of them immediately understood.
"Already, go with them," said Ga Eun.
Eun Ji Hae nodded quickly then boarded the Pegasus as her ride. A moment later they left the place with a mission. A mission that involves the life of a person.
The wind around felt so strong due to the flapping of their very strong wings. His blow made the surrounding trees sway down. Even their own robes almost flew into space.
"It turns out Brother Ji is still so pretty. He still looks so young. Though our age difference must be very far away," said Jongdae while amazed.
Oliver directly hit his brother who suddenly became flirtatious like this, "Basic!"
"Madam, are you sure that this task will work?" ask Oliver.
It was obvious that doubts were still in his mind.
"We leave it to them" Ga Eun replied so calmly.
"If they fail how?" Jonghdae started to take things seriously.
"Then that means we have to let go of Nhea" Ga Eun replied with a wry look.
"meaning?"
Now Oliver's eyeballs are perfectly rounded.
"We must give up Nhea like a hero who died on the battlefield. He was willing to sacrifice his own life for the safety of the entire school" Ga Eun explained.
"No! Madam can't say that. I'm sure Nhea will survive" said Jongdae.
"If later he will leave us all, then we must prepare a tribute ceremony for him" said Ga Eun.
