Knight Of Valhalla

The Myth

As the setting sun's rays broke through the remaining gaps in the clouds after the intense battle, Jin Tae Kyung walked slowly towards Heda, who was sitting under a large tree. Jin Tae Kyung's face was filled with concern for Heda, who appeared tired and had wounds on his body.

"Are you okay, Heda?" Jin Tae Kyung asked, full of concern.

Heda looked at him with a thin smile, trying to reassure Jin Tae Kyung. He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm fine, Jin Tae Kyung. Just minor wounds that are common in this battle."

Jin Tae Kyung felt relieved to hear Heda's answer. He sat next to Heda, leaning closer to show his care. "I was so worried about you, Heda. This battle is incredibly dangerous, and we don't know what will happen next."

Heda smiled and replied, "I know you're worried about me, Jin Tae Kyung. But we have to stay strong and support each other in situations like this."

Jin Tae Kyung fell silent for a moment, observing Heda's resilient expression despite the difficult circumstances. He felt compelled to share his experience during the battle with Heda.

"Earlier, I had the opportunity to lead the troops for a while," Jin Tae Kyung said humbly.

"I don't know how it happened, but I tried my best."

Heda noticed Jin Tae Kyung's modest demeanor. He smiled and nodded. "I heard about your impressive performance, Jin Tae Kyung. You're truly extraordinary. Our comrades must be very impressed with you."

Jin Tae Kyung downplayed himself and replied, "I was just doing what I had to do. There's nothing special about me."

Heda gently held Jin Tae Kyung's hand. "Don't underestimate yourself, Jin Tae Kyung. You have proven your abilities on this battlefield. We are here together, and it seems luck is on our side."

Jin Tae Kyung smiled, moved by Heda's support and words. He knew the importance of friendship and support amidst the challenging battlefield. Both of them drew strength from each other in facing difficult situations.

"Perhaps you're right, Heda," Jin Tae Kyung said, tightly gripping Heda's hand. "We must stay strong and build the reputation of this legion. We are not just individual soldiers; we are part of something greater."

Heda nodded in agreement. "Our unity is our strength. Let's continue to fight together and ensure the legion's reputation grows stronger."

They both sat under the large tree, allowing the silence and warmth of their friendship to fill the air. They knew this journey was not yet over, and they would face even greater challenges. However, with mutual support and genuine care, they were ready to face them together.

Jin Tae Kyung and Heda arrived at their destination after conversing about various things during the journey. The gentle afternoon sunlight illuminated the surroundings, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

With a mysterious smile, Heda suggested completing what they had started in the morning. Jin Tae Kyung, somewhat puzzled, looked at Heda and asked with curiosity, "I'm sorry, but what exactly did we do this morning?"

Heda smiled and patiently explained, "You must remember, Jin Tae Kyung. We are in a profound learning process. We need to explore ways to develop your Myth and understand the essence of that Myth itself."

Slowly, Jin Tae Kyung's eyes showed a transformation from confusion to admiration. Heda's words turned out to be true. They had embarked on a fruitful journey. Jin Tae Kyung had successfully defeated the giant gnoll that morning, thanks to the development of his Myth.

Witnessing Jin Tae Kyung's success, Heda enthusiastically challenged him, "Now, show me the Myth within you as the first step towards a greater journey!"

Jin Tae Kyung felt a bit nervous hearing the challenge. He sat next to Heda, scratching his cheek with a hesitant gaze. He realized that this was an important moment in his life's journey.

"I've actually never shared this Myth with anyone before," Jin Tae Kyung whispered softly.

"But perhaps this is the right moment to share it with you, Heda."

Heda's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing Jin Tae Kyung's words. She felt honored that Jin Tae Kyung entrusted his story to her.

"I'm very grateful, Jin Tae Kyung. Come on, start telling me your unique Myth. I'm ready to listen attentively."

Slowly, Jin Tae Kyung began to narrate his Myth. He carefully crafted his words, allowing every detail and emotion to flow in their conversation. Occasionally, he gazed into the distance, reminiscing about the events that had influenced his life, while conveying the messages and meanings contained within his Myth.

Heda listened to the story earnestly. She was captivated by the beauty and power expressed by Jin Tae Kyung's storytelling. The story was more than mere words; it reflected the soul's journey and growth that Jin Tae Kyung had experienced throughout his life.

After the story concluded, Heda applauded and smiled widely. "Jin Tae Kyung, that was an extraordinary Myth! I could feel the courage and sincerity emanating from every word you uttered. Your Myth is truly captivating storytelling."

Jin Tae Kyung felt relieved to hear Heda's praise. The previous feelings of uncertainty slowly faded away. He felt more confident and ready to face new adventures that awaited him.

Nightfall arrived, and the two of them were still in that secluded place. Under the twinkling starlight, they continued their conversation.

Jin Tae Kyung sat tensely next to Heda, while Heda's sharp gaze made him feel anxious. He felt trapped in a puzzle of how to show his Myth to Heda. Jin Tae Kyung pondered whether Heda only needed an explanation or if he should read it aloud. However, he realized that Myth was not just about reading, but also involved a complete story to explain why the Myth was famous.

Heda responded to Jin Tae Kyung's question by taking out an iron feather from his waist, showing that he already knew the question would arise. With great attention, Heda handed the feather to Jin Tae Kyung. In his heart, Jin Tae Kyung wondered what the meaning of the feather was.

"Heda, what should I do with this feather?" Jin Tae Kyung asked, trying to express his confusion.

Heda smiled faintly. "Hold the feather tightly and think about what you want to show me. Although I may not see as much as you do, I believe I can get the general idea."

Jin Tae Kyung gripped the iron feather with one hand. As he felt its cold texture, flashes of ideas started to emerge in his mind. He furrowed his brow, trying to find the right way to express his Myth.

A few moments later, Jin Tae Kyung released his grip on the iron feather and looked at Heda firmly. He began his story with great enthusiasm.

"Heda, let me tell you about the power within my Myth," Jin Tae Kyung said with a confident voice.

"This is a story of a warrior trapped in boundless darkness. He fights against fear and the haunting nightmares, with a strong determination to protect his loved ones. In the perilous battlefield, the warrior unleashes extraordinary power. Bright light radiates from his body, dispelling the darkness and giving hope to those trapped in uncertainty. He is a hero who embodies unwavering courage and strength."

Their conversation paused for a moment as Heda gazed at Jin Tae Kyung with admiration. Heda's initially stern face softened and became understanding.

"Jin Tae Kyung, your story is truly touching. I can feel the power and spirit emanating from it," Heda said with a heartfelt voice.

Jin Tae Kyung smiled relieved to hear those words. "Thank you, Heda. My Myth may not be physically visible, but through this story, I hope to inspire people and give them the strength to face life's challenges."

Heda nodded in agreement. "You have proven that strength is not always seen directly. Sometimes, our greatest strength lies within the stories we build in our hearts."

They both sat in silence, reflecting on those words. Jin Tae Kyung felt relieved as he successfully showed the essence of his Myth to Heda, while Heda felt inspired by the power and spirit radiating from Jin Tae Kyung's story.

From this conversation, Jin Tae Kyung learned that it isn't always easy to show one's abilities to others. However, by using a strong and emotional story, he could convey his message in a more meaningful and captivating way.
