Eun Ji Hae and her two bodyguards left the school. Among the sunyinya of the night, they stayed awake while the others were asleep. The three of them had somewhat moved away from the crowd around the school, heading towards one of the forest on the hillside.
It is said that it was the only road they could cross to get to Orton. It would be too dangerous if they passed the sea lane, waves that are always unpredictable can threaten it at any time.
His name is Eoduun Soup, which if interpreted then the real meaning is Forest of darkness. The forest is located along the hillside of Jeoju Eondeog (Hill of Curse). As I said, if every region has a border in the form of hills or mountains.
It is in this forest where all the nations of darkness live. The sun never made it in here. That's because the lush foliage that covers the entire side of the forest is like protecting the eternal inhabitants of this forest. They were made up of several clans that ruled over the darkness. For example, the most famous clans are the shadow clan and the vampire clan.
Eun Ji Hae stopped the steps of Pegasus that she was riding at that time. Now they were right in front of the entrance to that forest. By gathering all the courage that had failed, Eun Ji Hae finally decided to stay in. Again he confirmed this in his own heart. He did all this not because of his aunt let alone his sister. Eun Ji Hae is willing to do all this for her right to freedom. Although he had to sacrifice his own life when he had to pass through this forest. There will be many challenges and temptations from the residents of this place.
Just a few steps from the entrance they had just passed, there had been a less friendly reception.
The Griffin who had been walking hand in hand beside them, immediately advanced to the frontmost position to guard Eun Ji Hae from the unexpected attack.
The girl spontaneously instantly used the power of her flaming and blazing flame on top of her palm. He was trying to light up the streets that were starting to feel clean. His eyes agilely examined all the places around him. Staying alert will keep them safe.
"Let's continue the journey again" Eun Ji Hae told the two animals.
The girl kept on lighting a fire that came out from one of her hands in anticipation of the unexpected things beforehand. Until suddenly in the middle of the journey, a group of long and sharp fanged humans stood in front of them.
Although the vampire herd only consists of three people, still it does not rule out the possibility to threaten them. The group of vampires grinned while highlighting Eun Ji Hae with a deadly look.
"Ench that light!" the orders of one of them.
"Why should I put it out?" ask Eun Ji Hae.
Griffin and Pegasus were in a position as if ready to attack anyone who tried to play around with them. These two animals will not wait for Eun Ji Hae's instructions, they will immediately attack when they feel their position is threatened.
"Your light is troubling us. You know if the clan of the dark does not like the light" explains the others.
"Alright," Eun Ji Hae replied then immediately complied with their wishes.
Pegasus immediately stomped his front two legs shortly after Eun Ji Hae extinguished the flames. It was the same as willingly surrendering to a ridiculous death before them. Of course Pegasus disagreed with that, and tried to protest against this girl's foolish decision.
But who would have thought if Eun Ji Hae was much smarter about tactics than these two animals. His thoughts were always one step ahead of anyone.
He immediately rekindled the fire, but now the light was much brighter than before. The vampire spontaneously took a few steps back. Eun Ji Hae smiled with satisfaction when she managed to trick the herd of cunning vampires.
Eun Ji Hae had already guessed the plan they were going to do before. This swarm of cunning vampires will come forward to attack them secretly. They deliberately asked Eun Ji Hae to put out the fire so that the vampires could attack freely.
Suddenly a woman came from nowhere. The parasites are beautiful. She wore a short white knee-length dress with a robe that was also white. Her skin was smooth white, her hair was jet black. She braided her hair on one side.
"Wait Griffin!" Eun Ji Hae tried to prevent her from attacking the woman first.
"Who are you and what do you want from us?" eun Ji Hae asked without further ado.
This girl directed that fiery red light towards the woman. He tried to clarify his view between the dark atmosphere. But strangely, this woman was not like the shadow clan in general who was afraid to see the light. He must not be part of them.
"Follow me, please.." said the woman.
"Where?"
"I'll take you all somewhere safe enough to rest tonight."
"Are you part of them?"
"I'll explain when I get there."
Without a second thought, Eun Ji Hae immediately trusted the woman. He believes that one will not harm him. Moreover, he offered them help for free.
They followed the steps of the woman from behind, leaving this place. Leave that bunch of fucking vampires. The woman took Eun Ji Hae and her animal friends to a remote place deep in the forest. There was a cave there, though the secluded place was much better than the one before.
"Please enter!"
The woman let Eun Ji Hae and the others in. This girl came straight down from Pegasus. Now he feels safe in this place. Eun Ji Hae believes she can trust this woman.
Eun Ji Hae entered the cave while observing her surroundings. There was a small hole that led straight to the sky. He could clearly see the full moon up there. That means sunlight will also enter this place during the day.
"Let me light the fireplace for a while, it's still too dark here" the woman said.
"Let me help you" Eun Ji Hae replied.
The girl directly grabbed the pile of dry wood in the middle of the cave with her strength. Then they sat around the fireplace.
"Actually who are you, why help us?"
