I looked around me as I breathe harshly. A waterfall? 

"Are you awake now, Yue-san?" I heard a man's familiar voice.

I looked behind to see a man with a curly blonde hair, bangs covering his face...and really dirty clothes. He's on his knees, sitting straight while looking at me.  

Wait a minute...he's the traveler who gave me Tentetsutou!

"Oh! You're that man!" I said loudly as I pointed at him.

"It seems that you're fine, Yue-san." He said kindly and smiled.

Oh, right! I tried to recall everything that happened to me. 

I remember getting stabbed...slashed...and fell of the cliff!

I looked down to my clothes filled with blood from the injuries I got. 

I stood up, expecting tremendous pain but It didn't hurt. 

I quickly untied my outer robe and quickly looked inside of my shirt. 

What? 

How come I'm not injured?!

Maybe I'm already dead after all? 

"You're not dead, Yue-san..." 

I stopped. "How did you know my name?" I don't remember introducing myself or even now, nor did I know his name.

"The Gods have told me...I'm Ik-Soo, by the way." 

The Gods? Huh?

Then I remembered that we were looking for a priest. He can't be the one right?

"A-are you the priest?"

Ik-Soo just nodded, shyly rubbing his head. 

Huh? He doesn't seem like one... 

I looked at myself again. "How am I still alive?" I whispered. 

I was sure that I was going to die already back then.

"Did you heal me or something?" I asked

"Not really, Yue-san. I don't know how..." 

"Then...did you do some magic or whatever to me?" I crossed my arm suspiciously. 

"I don't have any powers, Yue-san..." He said nervously. 

No? Then what kind of priest are you then? 

"Then it must be the Gods, right?" I said in sarcasm, joking. 

Ik-Soo smiled. "I don't think they need to do that at all, Yue-san." 

Huh? This man's confusing me. 

Then I remembered Hak and the Princess!

Shoot! Where are they?! 

I looked around, panicking. Did they got away from the Fire tribe? Are they alright? 

Hak that idiot! Also, Yona-hime! 

I picked up my katana ready to search for them. 

"Where are you going?" The priest said in a friendly tone.

"Finding my brother and his master..." 

"Oh? Come with me, I'll show you the way!" He said then joyfully ran towards a direction.

Huh? 

I don't know why but I just followed him. I must be an idiot...

Then we arrived to a small hut in the middle of the forest, not so far.
