"My name's Harith, what's yours?" Harith asked as he walked behind Seo ling."Seo ling, you can call me ling" Seo ling answered."Seo ling, what a beautiful name. Where are you from?" Harith praised."North side" Seo ling answered shortly."The north side..." Harith muttered. He could think of any remarkable places in the north he had read of except the Great water serpent sect. "The Great water serpent sect?" He asked."What would you like to eat?" Seo ling ignored his question and asked."Ah that..." Harith scratched his head. "I don't really know the type of food they have here. How bout treating me to your best meal" "My best meal? Hmmm" Seo ling placed her hand on her chin and thought. "Aha, I know just what's best for you!" "Heh, what's that" Harith chuckled a bit."Rice cakes!" Seo ling said with bright eyes. "I know a seller just down the street who sells them on a stand" she pointed at the end of the street.Truly, Harith could see a stand at the end of the street but he co
The night was cold, although the hustle and bustle of central city still remained it wasn't as much as in the day and was a little bit on the calmer side. Most of the major shops seemed to be closed leaving only the small time vendors open and people still patronized them much.In the midst of all this, a young man walked with a bitter smile on his face. He held a unique hammer with red engravings.Harith thought on his days so far. First he had arrived a new city then he joined what was sort of a fight ring, got beaten badly but he met a cute girl. He spent the whole day with her, she gave him a gift after and disappeared like it was all just a dream."I hope we meet again" Harith muttered as he took out a rice cake he had kept in his jacket and ate it."oh shit" Harith slowly came to the realization that he was fucking lost. He was too busy chatting with Seo ling earlier to even keep track of the directions she took to Uncle jao's place. And he was far from Uncle Jao's place since h
*Click* The lock of the door opened and a very imposing man was revealed. He was dressed in a very fancy formal looking attire. All in polished white. Like the stain of the world couldn't even touch him. Looking to be in his late thirties and a sharp jawline to go with chiseles features. Hair slicked back and silky black with a smile that could charm even the most rigid. A charismatic business man!"Hmm Come on in" The man said and went back to his couch.Justin was too stunned to said anything. Never in his life had he been impressed by a man so much with just mere appearance.Cho cheong entered with confidence and she ran to the man and gave him a hug forcefully. "Big brother Jang!" She screamed with glee.Cho Jang gave a light chuckle and patted her back. "I've missed you!" Cho cheong buried her face in his chest.Cho cheong struggled to maintain the serious look he had earlier. Cho cheong, his favourite cousin, was always clingy with him. Ever since childhood, she would follow him
"Ahhh" Harith sighed as he stepped out of the building. He had never been more appreciative of the hot weather. The cold in the building was chilling, although he could handle it...he still didn't like putting himself in an uncomfortable situation just for the sake of it."Speaking of uncomfortable situations" Harith muttered as he reminisced on the whole wombo jumbo he had just gone through. From being lied to and pressured by a relatively scary looking man to abandoning Cho Cheong, his first real friend, it was really chaotic. He needed time to cool off and think......After spending a few hours sleeping and thinking about her next move, Cho cheong cleaned her tears and left the building, heading back to Heaven's inn. She had to get her stuff to prepare for travel back to the sect. Harith was no where to be found and honestly? She didn't really care again. No matter the circumstance and the reason the fact still remained Harith had abandoned her when she needed him. Real friends do
*Zoom!* The speed at which the light passed the bushes was surprising. One could even miss it if they blinked!What just happened?" One of the Cho siblings asked with a concerned look. They clearly had Cho cheong captured and ready to surrender just a few seconds ago and now...well now they didn't even know if she was still in the forest or not!"What the fuck do you 'mean what just happened'?! Get on you fucking ass and chase her!" Lee shin was like a raging dragon that had just gotten it's egg stolen. He was furious and swore heaven and earth.The others shivered and took his order immediately. They all left, going at their best speeds in hope of atleast catching up to Cho cheong. She had just left some seconds ago, she couldn't have gotten very far....On the other side.Cho cheong felt the arms of a man wrap around her as they moved through terrains and an incredibly fast speed. From below she couldn't see much of the man's face but with the small glimpses and the aid of the full
DarknessSpeeding windFear of the unknownAll these plagued Harith as he fell down the gap with Cho cheong in his arm. Just barely seconds ago he had swindled Lee shin and jumped into the fissure. He had chosen to trust Cho cheong's words rather than give the dew of Life. If she was so sure they weren't going to die then he could afford to give her some trust.But after over ten seconds and he hadn't come contact with any surface, his heart was starting to sway.The sound of a body coming in contact with a very elastic material was generated. Harith felt himself land on something and he was all to sure that his death had come. But he was far from dead. He had landed on something extremely light and flexible that actually adjusted to his weight, folded in and going down. Decreasing in speed as time went on before eventually coming to a stop.Harith opened his eyes and felt all over his body. "I'm alive!" He said with extreme happiness."I told you".Cho cheong said with a light smile.
Morning had arrived but the sparse sunlight that penetrated through the hole told little of the day. Morning in the fissure could be compared to the twilight.Although the place was hardly illuminated, a substitute for the Sun came in just the time. It was none other than Harith waving around his Hammer, seeming to spar with an invisible opponent.Cho cheong woke up, with nothing but an aching body. The stress from the earlier night had a very prominent effect now. As she tried to stand up she released a moan which alerted Harith."Oh, you're awake" Harith stopped waving his Hammer and looked over to Cho cheong.Cho cheong glanced at the Hammer for a moment. This was the first time she was seeing Jinwu with a weapon, one that looked to be of a high grade for that matter, it was surprising- but she decided not to pry. "Morning" She said."Hmm, how's your sleep?" Harith asked."My whole body's aching, what do you think?" Cho cheong sighed. "yours?" "I didn't sleep heh" Harith scratched
"Seriously?" Cho cheong laughed. "You could've warned me atleast" Harith tore a piece of his cloth and wiped his face with it. The blood of the murdered beast had spilled on him earlier."Save it for later" She said. "We have to escape before night falls or we'll get overwhelmed by their number" "Alright alright, I signed for this anyway" Harith shrugged.The cave the two walked through didn't have much paths, just the main path and another which clearly led to a dead end. Cho cheong seemed confident in her ability to navigate the cave so Harith wasn't particularly worried. If anything he was looking to have a little bit of action- That is, if he'll be able to avoid being drenched in blood and guts."I didn't know you could fight like that. I'm surprised" Harith said along the way."You don't know many things about me" Cho cheong responded with a half smile. She and Harith had bonded overtime in the sect but it was just on the surface level, they didn't really know much about each ot
