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.
