Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 : Fear

"Just who is she ?"he muttered as he paced back and forth in his room . A grand luxurious room, fit for the crown king . The Joeng clan went extinct centuries ago , when witches were dispelled from the western kingdom, Phaedra . Even his father is aware of that , he was the general supporting the southern kingdom , Colonia with the war. The Joeng clan died. All of it ,even the baby that was left by the great Eun-ho, are witches back trying to pose as old descendants? If so then he should have just killed her . But her blood ,it was pure and sweet . "Pacing back and forth cause of a girl or coronation?"his right hand man ,Theodore said, and Ryun stopped on his tracks ,Theodore had the ability to turn invisible without his heat signature detected ,even powerful kings from other kingdoms could not power over him . He even had more than that .

"Manners ,Theo you can die for that ."warned ,Ryun chuckling slightly. Theo rubbed his neck ,"I keep on forgetting you're going to be the new king. My bad, so which is which? Girl or upcoming coronation?"asked Theo with a grin on his face ,making Ryun glare at him. " Useless things do not apply to me. I do have a quest for you ." Ryun said , sitting down on his bed ." Do tell. " replied Theo ,his eyebrows raised. "I need information, on the Joeng clan ".

"They died centuries ago ."said Theodore.

"I know , there's something I need to confirm." Ryun replied closing his eyes.

"Should I tell the king or not ?"Theo asks him. "No , not until I confirm it's real."that is how Ryun replied finally closing his eyes and with the stretched silence Theo left his best friend's room.

But what didn't drift from Ryun mind, is the girl from before. Her power was immense especially for a blind person. Meanwhile for Akia,she went back home . Her home was connected to a cave , with a fire place . Her room ,covered in leaves and a warm blanket . It was a cozy house for a person living alone , and decent for a blind one, good thing about her she used her blindness to gain new skills. With her ability to hear from afar, she fixed her fire place and shivered while sitting next to the fire . Luckily before she left she made fire and now it was more warm. Who was that man ? She asked herself .

He was rude ,and powerful . Does he know her ? She heard footsteps and she knew who the visitor was , quickly getting up with a warm winter blanket around her . "Tax payment."the person yelled from outside knocking on the door . She opened the door , "I only have a few silver coins enough for a week can you please wait a little longer ?"she tried to reason with the man . "And if I let you off the hook so much then will you let me warm uo your sheets,young lady ?"he said, his name was Balitomore. The taxation officer in the village. He was rude as he came, although she couldn't see him but she could feel his evil intentions . He always harassed people who failed to pay tax on time or even before that . Based on your status and no one even dared to confront him cause hia father was known as the head count of the entire village underneath the Duke order and the King himself.

She clutched her warm blanket closer to her chest. Everytime he tried to forcefully make her sleep with him she used her abilities to chase him away . And today would bs no other way since the herbs she needed fod her clinic weren't there . Her wind ability was something she mastered but sometimes she couldn't pin point which other ability she has cause she'd wake up sweating from seeing a random figure . In her dreams she can see but to her disappointment in reality she couldn't. Baltimore took the coins from her ,"I'll come back again after you made enough from your pateints . " he said and she sighed in relief , but he put his foot between the door . "And if you don't then maybe you can give in. You're one beautiful girl. Many men crave you . " he said smirking.

She waved her hand in the air and soon gushing cold wind blew him away . Making him hit every rock there is . He never learns . Sighing in relief she put her coins into a safe patched bag , and hid it underneath a pile of rocks near the fire place. Her clinic was out of herbs and today that man disturbed her . Yes she was sad for a moment but he couldn't just watch and then disrupt. Who ever he was she hated him . She was never exposed to many people cause of her blindness, her aunt raised her but she gave up on her see no after a white witch said that she could possibly see in future. Her aunt filled with greed and expectations , she thought she would see faster than lightening bolt . And then after she turned fourteen her aunt left her after stealing some of the coins she made from mixing herbs .

Yes her life was pitiful ,she hated it but shs didn't ask to be born . As she grew up on her own she managed to learn how to use her hearing ability besides working towards seeing with her eyes. Made herbs , healed wounds ,she even went as far as to learning through touching things. Her power amazed her too cause at first she thought it was jist a gust of wind until she realized that she was the one controlling the wind .
