Chapter I: The Apperance of A Mysterious Woman

It was a bright noon in the village of Sonne. At that time, coming back from their field, some of the villagers went into their home quickly and closed both window and the door. It looked like that there was something wrong happening in the village because they seemed panic and tried to hide.

When the villagers had hidden in their own hut, there was a girl running very quickly to her hut as she brought a very long and thick wood. Just like the other villagers, she seemed panic as if she were chased by monsters. When she arrived in her hut, there was a young man standing at the middle of the room in her hut. His height was about 175 cm and his hair's color was silver. He looked at the girl when she came into her hut.

'You've helped me so far. But, finally I'll be caught…' he said gravely.

Ignoring the young man's sentence, the girl closed the door and used the thick wood to prop up the door. Looking at the girl's behavior, the man frowned.

'Ryong….you can run away from this hut through the stove. The stove was broken. You can run by removing the stove.'

'Why….why do you do this?'

'Well…I don't know. It may seem funny but I'll try to keep the door close. So, the troops won't come in' said the girl.

'Open the door or we'll batter the door down!' shouted one of the guards gathering in front of the door.

'Hurry Ryong! You must save your life!'

The man said no more. Before leaving, he looked at the girl. Afterwards, he went out through the broken stove. After keeping the door for a long time, the girl finally lost her power. Consequently, she couldn't prop up the door any longer. When the door opened, one of the troops entered the room and took her out from her hut roughly and pulled her to the ground.

'General Yohm, I didn't find the God Emperor but I find this girl' He said.

'Hmm…I see. Take this girl to Astana! We'll make her as sacrifice to strike the God Emperor down!'

'Yes, Sir!'

The girl couldn't do anything. She followed the troops. She saw Fou-Lu hiding between the trees and grasses when she left her village.

('Ryong…..I hope you're safe.')

Arriving to Astana, the girl was investigated her body and he hand were bound.

'What's your name?' said a guard.

'My name is Mami' she said.

'You'll be a sacrifice for the God Emperor' said the guard again.

(God Emperor? Who is God Emperor? Is Ryong a God Emperor??)

'The sacrificial ceremony will be started soon. Do you have last requests you want to say? said general Yohm. There were four mages and two executors besides the general.

Mami didn't answer. She closed her eyes and hoped that a miracle would happen to her.

'The sacrificial; preparation is complete, Sir!' reported a guard.

'Good' said general Yohm.

'The sacrificial ceremony will be begun. I'll go to the controlling room to guide a guard to fire Hex to strike the God Emperor down.'

'AAAARGH…….'

'What's that? who're you?' asked general Yohm as he came into the sacrificial room. He was surprised when he found some guards, four mages, and two executors died tragically.

'You don't need to know who I am. I come here to save this girl from this silly sacrifice since I'm sure that the God Emperor doesn't need any sacrifices from human!' said a mysterious girl as she released Mami and threw a molotov to the general.

What will happen to Mami and who is this mysterious girl?
