As the anniversary of Sotchai's downfall approaches, a mysterious figure emerges, whispering prophecies of Sonaya's return and the restoration of magic to its rightful heir.

“Who is the Witch of the two? What gender did Sire say?” The Master requested in a voice so horrific that the kids became even more scared.
“None of us is a witch. We have grown without knowing or practicing magic all our lives.”
“How old are you?”
“I am fifteen.” Millan spoke up.
“I am twelve.” Muye also responded after hesitating for a while. She wanted not to answer but the faces alone of the men could not let her.
“Yes, my Master, it’s the girl, her age matches the night struggle.”
“No sir. She’s mistaken. She has not yet even made eleven.” Millan realized they did not have to say the right age. But it was too late. Realizing how late he was, he signaled her to run as he tries to escape.

MUYE AND MILLAN: THE QUEST OF BLOOD AND HURDLES

"My father is responsible for your parents' death. He was part of the Necromancy group that came to your town and he died in the battle." Kaisen mastered up the courage to speak the devastating truth while tears streamed down her cheeks like a river. The words became echoes in Muye's mind. She could not comprehend what she had just heard from one of the few friends she heard.

Her body began shivering and began to walk away from them heading to the water side. Kaisen, in fear of her doing something bad, tried to follow her but that was the mistake she made.

"Do not follow me. Don't you dare try to come near me ever again!" her voice was in its normal but icy and carried a dangerous threat that could shake the world. Kaisen stood rooted to her current position wondering how to turn away. Muye watching her actions thundered further making her shudder in fear.

"Go away. I do not know what I will do to you. I fear I won't be able to hold back."

"But Muye, I am not my father and I am your friend."

"Hold it right there! We are not friends! I cannot be a friend to the daughter of my parents' murderer." The words she spat out were so hurting and cold. Her body was trembling but only Millan could notice if he had paid attention but he was busy holding Kaisen trying to take her away from the scene to safe guard her from the storm that was rising.

At this time, he did not know that Muye needed him more than Kaisen did. Oblivious to the need, he escorted Kaisen to a safe place to calm herself down. Muye felt lonely as Millan walked away side by side with Kaisen.

"You've chosen her, Millan?" was all she could say before giving in to the darkness that enveloped her vision causing her to faint and fall onto the ground. But, before her limp body could kiss the ground, a pair of gentle hands held her safely and led her away.

"Papa, where did you send Dong Ji?" Souhee cautiously asked her father as they sat at a welcoming dinner for her brother. The expression of Holtrin shifted for a millisecond but plastered it faster like it came while Nagjari froze a bit.

"What will you do to make it up to our daughter once the truth comes out?" Nagjari could not help but ask him once they stood alone in the Queen's chambers. Holtrin was also disturbed at what will happen then. Contemplating at her question for a while, a sinister plan fell in his mind and a grin formed on his relatively thin lips. Shaking his head I agreement with his plan, he turned to his love of his life and made her calm as she felt that her daughter will not be emotionally hurt with his plan.

They would never let the breaking truth about Dong Ji to come to light to their daughter.
