{Chapter 2-Tower Patroller}
The sun slowly rose up from the hill to greet the next day.
Taewon stepped out of the house and breathe in the fresh air. He looked around to see if father and mother were around. Nope, they already left for work and Reina was still sleeping. The young lad headed into the yard to look around for a while.
A rustle was heard from the bush. A shadow figure from yesterday appeared once again.
It came up to the Sung's home and entered it quietly. It slowly walked towards Reina's room and looked at the sleeping girl.
"Finally… The part power of goddess is here! Now I can just take her and consume her!"
Reina woke up and saw the figure. She made an attempt to get away but was caught easily.
"Who are you and what do you want?" she asked.
Taewon was sitting at the yard and held a small bird. He smiled at the bird while the bird stared back at him. It sang a song which Taewon could not recognise its language but of course, it is a bird.
"How do you do, little one? It's nice to see birds' here." said Taewon.
He let the bird go and watched it flew away to the sky. His eyes were brilliant pair of ruby orbs and the sun shine glitter his eyes. The morning was peaceful until an abrupt scream was heard.
The scream belonged to his sister.
Taewon quickly dashed back into the house and he saw Reina on the floor..
"Reina, what happened?!" cried Taewon.
He kneeled down beside her to check his sister. Reina half-lidded opened her eyes. They were cold and dull eyes. She stood up on her own, not paying any attention to Taewon at all. She suddenly walked out of the house and ran.
"REINA!" shouted Taewon.
Taewon chased after his sister. The two ran across Derun Village market place and ran past Ossera's house. Ossera saw the two running across from her window.
'Why are they running…?' she wondered. Then, it hit her.
She went out of the house and went after the two, panicking and worrying.
"WAIT!" she cried.
Taewon ran and ran after Reina and both ended up at the West Orbis Tower. Both of them just climbed and climbed up the stairs while Ossera was about few minutes behind the siblings.
"REINA, STOP!" Taewon cried as he continuously chased his sister. His voice didn't seem to reach her ears.
Time seemed to have flown so fast. The siblings were at the top of the Orbis Tower and dashed through Orbis, the town. The sky was blue and soft cotton clouds floated across the sky. The buildings had wings and some buildings were floating.
Taewon did not care about the magnificent surrounding of Orbis; he just wanted his sister to stop running. It was only then Reina turned around, taking out a bow and shot light arrows at him. Lights blinded the young lad's eyes for a while until he regained his sight. He lost his sister. Taewon panicked and ran across Orbis. Without thinking, he ran straight towards the East Orbis Tower.
Ossera saw Taewon from the distance and she knew where Reina went.
'She's heading to Tower of Goddess!' she said to herself.
Taewon went towards the East Orbis Tower. He growled.
"Where did she go? What is going on, seriously?"
A very nasal voice was heard.
"I know where she went, human."
Taewon turned around and saw a short fat fairy with such tiny wings. This fairy was carrying a giant leaf. The young lad, without thinking once again, asked the fat fairy.
"Where did she go? Please tell me!"
"I am Wonky the Fairy, human. Give me a food first and I shall tell you." said the fat fairy called Wonky.
Taewon was disappointed. He didn't bring any food at all.
"What's the matter, human? Didn't you drop that apple over there while you were running? I'd like to eat that." said Wonky as he pointed at something.
Taewon was confused and looked where Wonky was pointing at. There was a blue apple lying on the ground. Taewon picked it up and wiped it clean. It looked ripe as well.
'Who dropped this…?' he wondered.
Near the entrance of the East Orbis Tower, Ossera stood there. In her thoughts, she begged Taewon to give the apple to Wonky in order to quickly stop Reina from getting into the Tower of Goddess. Yes, she rolled the apple to Taewon and hid herself before Wonky arrived.
Taewon gave the apple to Wonky. The fat fairy ate it and pointed to the wall.
"That female human went that way."
He looked at the wall.
"Dude, that's a wall…" Taewon murmured.
Wonky walked up to the wall and went through it. Taewon gasped at the sight. Wonky then came back.
"It's only an illusion, human. Now have a good day!" said Wonky. The fat fairy walked out of the tower whilst Taewon went through the wall.
After Wonky left the tower, Ossera quickly went after Taewon but at the same time, not trying to reveal herself.
Taewon saw Reina in the distant. She was walking. He ran after her. Ossera cast a magic on Taewon. The young lad didn't realise the magic and was running even faster now.
'Hurry! Stop her before she enters the tower!' said Ossera in her thoughts.
The siblings were almost at the Tower of Goddess. Taewon kept running after Reina and nearly caught up with her.
"REINA, SNAP OUT OF IT!" he cried.
Just as he almost reached out for Reina, a blue electric beam strike down between the two. Taewon jumped back and Reina went inside the tower.
Ossera saw Reina going inside the tower. Her heart pounded.
'NO!' she mentally cried. Then she remembered something from Spiruna.
"Not only is she going in there… other three will be entering in that tower. Only one of them will face death!"
The maiden was about to make an attempt to stop Taewon from entering the tower but she stopped her actions as she saw someone else. That 'someone' is her best friend…
Taewon was stopped by a man in blue. He looked like a young adult. This man was a demon. He had brilliant emerald orbs, a fine blue tail and blue hair. He held his cold-looking metallic staff as the wind blew against his robe.
"You shall not enter the tower." said the demon as he pointed his staff to Taewon.
"Who do you think you are?" he asked in annoyance.
"I am the Tower of Goddess' patroller. A task that was given by from Her Grace." the demon replied.
Taewon frowned.
"My sister went inside that tower! I have to go in and find her!"
"Silence you human! Her Grace called your sister in. I heard Her Grace's voice that your sister has to enter the tower. I cannot allow any else to enter." the demon growled.
Taewon had enough of it. This morning was a very bad morning to start off with. He grabbed his sword out and lunged towards the blue demon. The demon dodged and cast out ice beam. Taewon successfully dodged all his attacks.
Ossera couldn't help but watched the two fighting each other because the young lad was fighting with her friend. Taewon was getting frustrated as he was aware that the demon is also a skillful fighter. He tricked the demon firstly and quickly ran into the Tower of Goddess' entrance. Ossera was shock as she watched Taewon running in.
"COME BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE BRAT!" the demon shouted. The blue man chased after Taewon into the tower. Ossera came out of the hiding spot and ran towards the tower.
"RAIKU, NO! DON'T ENTER THE TOWER!"
It was already too late. Not only Reina entered the tower but Taewon and the demon called Raiku entered as well. Ossera, who was filled with worry about the siblings and Raiku, immediately entered the Tower of Goddess.
Deep inside the Tower of Goddess, a figure stood in the dark. It showed a menacing grin in the dark.
"So, we now have four people in the tower, huh? This game will be lots of fun… Let the game shall begin!"
Spiruna was right after all. The other three people were Taewon, Raiku and Ossera.
