[Novel] The Mirror [Chapter 1 (1/2)]

Out of nowhere, a woman steps closer to them. She is wearing a long white dress and holding a weapon, which Myungwoo only ever sees in the movie or game, it's a morning star: a weapon consisting of a spiked ball mounted on a medium shaft. What an unmatched appearance, Myungwoo thought. She walks closer to them, so Myungwoo can see her more clearly. She is a young pretty woman with long wavy black hair, but her face is a bit pale.

"What's Element Guardian?" asked Minseong, "do you mean us?"

"Yes. I will explain more later. At first I thought I didn't need to call you this early, but the situation forced me to."

"What do you mean? What do you want us to do?" asked Minseong again.

"You all should go into training but we don't have time now, so let's just fight using your instinct. Here, grab your stone."

Suddenly, a stone the size of their palms flew from this woman's hand to the three men. A stone with bright white color flying to Myungwoo; bright red color flying to Bonhwa; and bright green color flying to Minseong. Myungwoo carefully stretches his arm to grab the stone and his body suddenly feels warm as the stone strangely is absorbed into his palm. He can see his body light out a bright white color for a few seconds as he feels warmer and warmer. He looked at the other two men, their bodies also light out the color of the stone they got. But something more than just the warm feeling got triggered inside him. Something that makes him feel like home... feels like it's him... feels like it's what he should do... feels like he is more than just the usual Kim Myungwoo. And as he stretches his right arm one more time, an ax miraculously appears on his hand: the ax is in gold color, with a brown wooden medium length shaft, and another gold metal part in the end of its shaft. As Myungwoo grabs the ax, he just realizes it feels heavy.

"What the hell is this?" asked Bonhwa, making Myungwoo look at the other two men again.

Not only does he have a weapon, so does Bonhwa and Minseong. Minseong has an ax too, its shapes almost look alike with what he has, but his is silver; while Bonhwa holds a longer weapon, it's a trident: a three pronged spear in gold color. 

"Okay so are you guys ready?"

It seems like Myungwoo was trans, but her voice makes Myungwoo's mind clear again, even though he still has a lot of questions in his mind, but her voice sounds in a hurry, so he decided to listen to her rather than ask her, for now.
