"Ah, damn it!"
He accidentally steps on a big root and he falls down backward. He can feel his left palm stings because it hits the uneven ground. But the steps in front of him are getting closer, and it's too late for him to run now. There is nothing he can do as he finally sees a glimpse of the thing in front of him as his lantern lights on it: a bull's head.
"No... no way..."
Kichul's voice sounds trembling as the crystal ball turns into black color.
"Joochan..." Sungmi is kneeling in front of the crystal ball.
"So he meets him faster than he should be," said Prince Bialaer, more to himself than the others.
"Who do you mean?"
"The minotaurs general, Soulling."
"You made Joochan meet him?" asked Sungmi, her voice's tone going higher, "you know he is living there and you expected this thing to happen?"
Sungmi is standing up quickly facing Prince Bialaer. She made her morning star appear on her right hand. The situation was intense all of a sudden. Myungwoo can't feel the peace this forest brings to him, now the forest is being more quiet and he can't see the fireflies around them anymore.
"Princess Sungmi, you know the rules in my forest."
