Chapter 2: Fated Meeting.

Shin Nong stood staring at the tiny figure in front of him. It was a little girl. A human girl. "How can a human find their way here?" Shin Nong had doubts. He had many questions that need to be answered but at that moment, all he could see was those purple eyes of hers. It was beautiful. Too beautiful. Shin Nong was drawn in, like a special flower, she caught his attention.

"Is this… a dream?" The little girl asked with a soft voice.

"What is your name, little miss?" Shin Nong turned his head slightly to get a good look at the girl who interested him so much. She had black, wavy hair. Judging from her clothes, she looked like she was born in a middle-class family.

"I am called Yun Hee. What about you, mister? You are really beautiful… are you a God?" Yun Hee's eyes sparkled when she said those words.

Shin Nong wondered why the little girl was not scared of him – who was much taller and appeared totally different from the human she knew.

"I am the Fire God. How did you find your way here, Yun Hee?" Now that he thought about it, how did she manage to find the path lead to the Imperial Place? Even though he came toward this close, he couldn't sense her God power. Could it be her Spiritual Power? Shin Nong had never seen anyone with high Spiritual Power entered the Royal Gate. He heard the plants saying Yun Hee was special because she had never killed a single plan or insect. She lived on eating fruit fallen from trees. While he was deep in thought, she answered.

"A God! I thought I was dreaming… I went to sleep, when I woke up, I found myself in this place." She stared at Shin Nong for a while. A God, she wondered whether he was a good God in fairy tales or a bad one that harmed human. "You are not a bad God. You are gentle, aren't you?" She answered the question she asked herself innocently.

"Can you tell?" Shin Nong replied. He was still in deep thoughts. There were two possibilities. Either the barrier was weakened or someone opened it from the other side. Even so, how could she found the Gate on top of the highest mountain? She said she was sleeping. She probably travelled here unconsciously, she was just a child, she wouldn't do any harm to the world – Shin Nong soothed himself.

Shin Nong didn't notice the little girl seemed uneasy. She said at last: "I've got to go. Someone is calling me back." She looked at the Door to the Human World, where she came from. However, it was not like you could meet a God every was just a child, she wanted to stay longer. "Can I come again tomorrow?" She could tell it was her mother who was calling for her, the only person in the world she could not refuse.

"I will be waiting." Shin Nong knew it would cause uproar if a human girl entered the Imperial Palace all by herself. But… what was this feeling inside him? He was not able to read her emotions, her thoughts. He was not able to see her future. This worried him a little. Could it be…there was no future for her? Or her future involved with special Gods? Either way, he felt like he should be the one to protect her. He learned that she came here as a spirit. Her spirit wandered around and ended up in this place, which was the best explanation Shin Nong came up with. Was it conscience? Was it fate? In this path way full of flowers and plants, she was the only thing caught his attention. He wasn't able to see the ''Loneliness of the Night'' that rarely bloomed, or the Blue Lotus grew by the Goddesses from Yin Yang mountain. The path to the human world was lighted up by the guardian stars that protect human. Even though the stars shone brightly, it was still dark. Shin Nong took a deep breath, wondered why he wanted to go to the human world all of a sudden. He looked back, planning to return to the Imperial Palace with a small wish of seeing her again.

A funny thought came to Shin Nong's mind. Dong Wang Kong was the first person he told about this encounter. Shin Nong- being cautious as he was, did not mention the fact the girl was a human. "When I was at the path to the human world, I met a little girl". Shin Nong confessed.

Dong Wang Kong, on the other hand, saw this matter in a different way. Shin Nong and girl just did not go well together. Dong Wang Kong was getting worried at this matter. This was the first time Shin Nong mentioned a girl in his speech. Funny though, to Dong Wang Kong, the fact that Shin Nong met her-at the-special-pathway never crossed his mind. "Listen, Yeom Jae…I will be honest with you because you are my dearest friend".

What was he talking about? Shin Nong was totally confused. Did Dong Wang Kong hear him wrong?

"Yeom Jae, since…when…did you turn into a weird pedo?"
