Eternal life

Chapter 34

It was an autumn already. For the evening it started to get chill, as the wind came and some heavy clouds. It started to drizzle, as they finally got to the car and set the coordinates into the car navigation.

An hour and half of driving later, they got to the place. It was a hill, with a meadow and a dirt track crossing it. In the distance they could see the glow of the city. They stopped in the middle of it and got out of the car to look around. The grass, soaked with water and waving on the wind was tall, locking them on the route. It was getting dark and no sign of a temple or shrine could be seen around.

Shaman pointed at her nose. 'Something's fishy here. In the description it said, that they trapped her in the mountain, in the forest, right?'

'Maybe I translated wrongly? Beside some time passed...'

'No, things like that don't change. There should be something...' She noticed some lights in the distance. 'Look!'

The lights were coming from the car climbing on the road from the other side. Young Saeng noticed it and they both walked out of the car, waiting. The car stopped in front of them, blinding them. All they could see was a man walking out of the car and stopping in front of his bonnet, as he leaned on it.

It was no one other than the mad, threating man, which Young Saeng wanted to kill on spot. He waved his hand. 'Hi! Here I am!'

Young Saeng recognized that voice. The shiver went through his spine, he got goosebumps. He wanted to run to that man, but was held by shaman. Unexpectedly she had a strong grip. 'Don't go near him.'

He wanted to tear loose. 'But he is the person that is responsible for ruining everything!'

'If he is a human, in general. His aura is off. Don't go.'

Everything could be heard by the assailant. He grabbed his chest and took few steps forward. 'Touché, woman! Who is she?' He pointed at shaman. 'Another future victim?'

'Don't you dare.' Young Saeng almost spitted those words.

His nemesis giggled. 'You changed your taste, I see. Now older women are preferable by you?'

'Who the fuck are you?! Answer on my question finally and stop meddling in my life!'

But again, as an answer he heard laugh. He added also a little of sarcasm. 'Don't scream at me like that! You called me here, yet you still don't know?

'How would I know?!'

The playfulness disappeared from voice second man's voice. 'Did you even summon me?'

'If I would know who you are and how to find you, believe me, we wouldn't be in that situation. Tell me, before I kill you.'

'Go on!' Man spread his arms to the side. 'It couldn't happen in past hundreds of years, but maybe today might be your lucky day!'

Young Saeng had enough. Every conversation with this crazy person included some unbelievable words. 'What are you talking about?! What years?!'

The man tapped at his beard with his finger. 'So you really still don't know... Not you mention, my memories are still fresh and vivid... Then who left a note in my house? 'I remember' note? It's definitely your style to do something so cringey.'

'Are you even listening?! No... I have enough... You need to be shut! In hospital... in prison... I don't care!' Young Saeng took out his phone to call for help.

As he was shouting on the mysterious man, their distance was becoming smaller and smaller. Suddenly, in between them, Aeri appeared. She wore a solemn face, as well she held a dragger. Shaman gasped in surprise, but Young Saeng showed relief of his face and tried to catch her arm to pull her onto his side, but instead he was grabbed by the spiritual help of his.
