The trouble

Chapter-6 The trouble

The sun shines lightly, as if it's welcoming us to our old home, it was my mother's mother.

Grandmother warmly welcomed us , but I didn't see my grandfather.

He might be busy with his clients , I guess.

The house is decorated nicely as always ,

Flower garden on the left side bees , butterflies on the flowers.

Grandma brought us to their living room and it's nicely decorated too and she served us with their special old

Ancestral tea and cups, and the teas were too good.

As Yuko and I were drawn by the sights of the old ornaments, the joy in her eyes I could feel that she was enjoying.

Just as we were watching the sights of the place, she was for short in daze at the sight of a little flower , I remember what it's called a star flower.

And a voice appears

"Don't touch that"

I was flinched to see who it was.

As i turn around I saw a old man coming' towards us, for moment I thought it was someone, but as it draw near and nearer i came to see it was my grandfather.He was wearing a traditional violet dress, and hands in back, by looking at him it looks like he is an scowling person.

I was lightened up to see him again after a long time, as it was like seeing the fresh scene again.

As my grandfather came near he also recognised me.

He gave a smile and says:

"My child you have finally reached here, Ihope you didn't have to problems while coming here"

"No grandpa"

"Well, seems to hear that" he says in an energetic voice, and after that he looks to Yuko.

"Who is she"

"Umm…she is–"

"No need, I can understand"

I forgot, that my grandfather is an well known priest, people used to say he has supernatural Powers , but i don't think it's true.

Then my grandfather continue saying

"I said don't touch this flower because it's an old flower that bloom only after 4 years a time and today is that day"

"Oh its must be special so" yuko says

"Yes, it's–"

"Lunch is ready come fast"

As grandfather was about to say something,grandmother called us for lunch.

But as we were heading together I noticed something in my grandfather that he was going to say something important apart from that special ability of that flower.

After a brief walk through the house, we were brought to their old dining room, where the delicious aroma of lunch filled the air.

The Table was made with thick woods. All the things in this house are made up of wood only.

The lunch looks so tasty and yummy and it's the signature dish of this place, it's made up of egg and rice with tomatoes and capsicum.

In the afternoon, We had just finished dinner and were sitting on the balcony.

Then grandfather appears in front of us and says something that I didn't expect.

"Feng, come here for a bit."

"Okay!"

He invited me to his own personal meeting room, which was made with Polish redwood pillars like structures on the sides, and he gave me a seat.

"You know, To whom you are really with right now?"

"Yes, with yuko and girl, why ?"

"Mmm…..not a normal girl, in–front of me you can't hide anything, not from me, not even a thing"

".....,uu ….yes she isn't normal"

"Yes, I guess it's right, so there is something you need to do , a very…important thing, to own your own or otherwise you will be in trouble, or maybe not only you."

"What are you saying grandpa? I didn't understand a thing."

"Listen, you remember your locket that your father's parents gave it to you, you have it?."

"Ahh, yes, so is there something connected within?"

"Yes, a very special thing"

"What kind of thing"

"It's not simple or hard to tell, yea but it's a little complicated.

Well, the scene goes to your father's parents. They were the greatest alchemists of that time, even some of the gods came to make weapons for them, because their weapons were too strong and good enough that also attracted the highly emperor god's too, and among them there was an god, people use to call him the charm, he wears a white hanfu and the robes were all over flying near him,there is no more information about his looks now and he was selfish too, one day he asked your father's parents. Oh, I forgot your dad didn't tell you, his parents name right ?"

"Certainly, yes when ever I try to ask him he always reject to tell, I only remember their glimpses in my memory and whenever it come fill up grandparents name they always fills your and grandmother,that's all"

"Mm, as i expected"

"So listen carefully, what happens next, when God comes , he orders them to make a sword which is light and can fly within him and has the sharpest edge that can kill every enemy in front of him, he also gave them the materials and be wanted it in a 10 days, every people on the world knows that this god is almost strong as the main god in heaven and everybody respect him to, but your parents said something different to him, they said to him:

"Umm sorry but we have to apologise for this , because it will take 2 months to make this sword, because others are also waiting there , for their swords to be made, and the material you gave me is a little different too."

"You telling me to wait that shit long, do you even know whom do you are even speaking to, such an absurd people, you know what I can do with you right now"I

"Sorry we can't do anything about it."

On that times out of anger he grabs your grandmother neck and threats him that if he wants to save her , he have to make it and left with your grandmother,with no choice he has to make him a sword that he wanted , he struggled day and night , making that sword, and when he finally he came , he gave him the sword and got back his wife, after getting sword it was like he went crazy and disappeared somewhere in the sky.

A few months later, news reached the heavenly gods. One of them, known for his wisdom and power, approached your grandfather, asking about the sword's creation. That's when your grandparents realized something terrifying, when he was asked,what the material he used to make the sword was, he then explained it was like an black metal with a dark purple colour that he gave it to him to make.

Then the god's stumbled for a moment

"No it can't be , how could it be , Mó Lié metal that he gave you"

That ….

It was then he realised where that god could have gone.

It was a place that everyone knows the underworld, he directly teleported there and what he saw there was a terrifying scene.

Down there… he was capturing humans , hunting them and preying them, starving them and some of them were even children. They look so thin and was starving from hunger…the god couldn't resist it and he did that nobody expected , it was likely that underworld doesn't belong to him and if he trap him also that someday he can escape so he created the different universe and use his all of the strength and sealed him there.

After a while your grandparents got a baby that was your father and rest you know."

"Yes, I know, but what it has to do with locket"

"Oh, i forgot to tell, it was like back on that time there was some monsters spawning in mortal worlds where your grandparents live and on that time that locket played significant role on that time you will get to know it later but for time being i will tell you in short ,it's the key where you can go that universe, you, and her.. come to that garden today night".

"Okay grandpa".

It is night now. I reminded Yuko not to sleep early and there is something we need to do.

It's time now yuko isn't sleeping too.

"Hey , yuko it's time to go the garden where grandpa called us"

"Oh , ok".

The night was cold and we went outside and there we saw grandpa standing tall in the garden gazing at the sky.

We walk towards him.

"Grandpa"

"You are here,it's important and now you two have to deal with something that will risk everything…..I mean..I can't say … I am Sorry, but i didn't mean to, also"

"It's alright grandpa" we spoke

".....no , it's not gonna be ..it's hard"

"We will be alright , i can help with it ?"yuko said

"Yes.."

"So ... .grandpa what's the matter ?"

"It's like where the yuko that girl came from that place is ruined right now and that monster is back there killing everyone of them. So i need to make you two this right you two ready, of you are"

"I'm ready, but... what exactly am I supposed to do once we get there?"

"...Yes?"

"Once you get there you head to a town that yuko belongs to she might know she will lead you to that town and there you to a god general there name Hotosmio

He will ask you who are you ? Just tell him I am the locket owner and rest ge will tell you and be careful kids, it will be along journey and Li feng my child not to lost that locket at any cost"

"But how will we get there?"

"Your locket, use it , I am going for now it's on you pls make it a safe journey,but remember not to take off that locket, and i will take care of here matters"

"Mm,yes".

Grandpa said it was a locket who can open the way but how ?

"Don't worry 'Li' , just think of the universe that you want to go ahead and that universe way or portal will open and we can jump there"

Think of different universe, means like way

It's hard.

It's been a long time that no one every said me to think of different place that I don't even belong to, but why , is that place I am thinking held some memories of it that I had , or something different?

It's not like–

"The portal is opened" yuko shouted if it was pain in the air and the portal was making a great force coming from the through it creating a massive message we couldn't hold it and she grabs me with her and jump off through the portal in the sky.

As we entered the world the portal behind us closed.

As we stepped through the portal, everything around us seemed to hum with unfamiliar energy. The air was thinner, the sky a brilliant shade of blue we had never seen before. The trees swayed like they had a life of their own. We weren't in our world anymore."

I remember once,grandpa said we need to do something here,but why only we now, I am little bit confused,the sky is dazzling and beautiful, yuko beside me said something:

"Oh you got tails and fox ears and you look good in that dress"she said smirkingly.

Then I look at her , her fox ear has also come out and has a white long fluffy tail. Her skin was white , for days I thought she was a real girl but I just remembered that she is not what I was thinking of.

There was a narrow stream where we landed. When I walked forward to it it was a clear stream that is not like in the real world, andAnd then I saw myself clearly in the water. I was having fox ears , with fox ears it was so real.

Then yuko comes behind me and says it's because of the locket you are wearing, otherwise you wouldn't have these things.

It's likely true I guess because grandpa said not to take out the locket at any cost.

"Li feng"

"yes?"

"It's not like the place you have seen in your world , it's different…..a very different world that exist, there is also a family that exist in here , everything is different so be careful, the first objective that we need to do here first is to find a village make "Young hung" it's a big town, with several people with several different types, it's about west side and 25 km long from here .

"Okay"

"So you ready for a long journey , ahead us"

"Yea , I am ready"

"So let's keep going to the west"

It was going to be a journey like a river nile ahead of us , it is different they all told , but it's like something trapped in a deep dark shadow that needed to be unveiled soon.

It's been 2 days now we are almost near to our destination for that town.
