Chapter 11

Warrior/전사

They all continued falling for a very long time.

The fall continued until they all landed in a heap in a flower bed.

"Whew," said Eunkwang, "I'm glad you guys are alright!"

"Same," the rest answered.

They all looked up, and realised that they all fall inside a cave, lit with torches in every single corner.

"This place is........." said Minhyuk.

"Interesting," said Yookyung.

"Let's explore," said Chorong, "There may be a way to get us to the Mingyuntaek Camp,"

 

The fourteen started making their way through the cave. As there were torches everywhere there was no need for them to worry about sources of light.

They walked the rocky walls and dodged the stalactites from the ceiling until they eventually came to a huge patterned door.

"Wow!" they all exclaimed.

"What a door!" said Naeun.

"It looks as if there is some sort of secret code on it," said Namjoo. "Donggeun, can you understand what it means?"

"I can't see," said Donggeun, "Just a minute, it's too dark I need a torch,"

He grabbed a torch and lit it towards the door.

"I never heard of this language as the writing system is so unfamiliar, but I'll try to help," said Donggeun.

 

"Well," said Ilhoon after a while. "What does it say?"

"Just give him time," said Hayoung, "I think he's trying to concentrate,"

"I think I recognise it now!" said Donggeun, "It says something about the Mingyuntaek Camp!"

"Tell us! Tell us!" the others squeaked.

Donggeun began to read out.

"The Mingyuntaek Rebellion was formed......uhhhhh......thousands of years ago. After they uhhhh.....were formed, they tried to overthrow the overnment of Goguryeo, but have always been second to the governments and dynasties since. They were dissatisfied with the government and the kingdom has several times declared war with the rebellion. Despite the majority of rebels having been killed in the battles, several still remain. Since the year 1492, the rebels have started to reform the Mingyuntaek rebellion and collect other individuals to join the government in order to take over the kingdom's ruling. Having been proficient in magic, they have used the Crystals of Nature to control life in the kingdom, such as crop growth, water flow, weather and soil richness. Their camp is currently in the second meadow on the fourth hill to the north, after this point,"

"So that means we are nearly there!" said Eunkwang, "We are not lost after all!"

"But how do we get out?" said Eunji, "We're not gonna be stuck here forever,"

"Wait!" said Donggeun, "I sense a code on how to get out. To open this gate, you must say the following words in order: Pilseung.......Joongseong.......Seungri....Yooyeon......Youngwoong.......well, are we all ready?"

"I am," said Hyunsik.

"Me too," said Sungjae.

"Me three," said Namjoo.

"Okay," said Eunkwang, take note of the translation by using his sword to carve the words into the stone ground, "On the count of three, we will all say the secret code out loud, okay?"

"Okay," they all said in unison.

"Three, two, one........." said Eunkwang.

"Pilseung! Joongseong! Seungri! Yooyeon! Youngwoong!" the fourteen all chanted in unison loudly.

 

With a stumble, the door slid open, sideways, revealing a dark tunnel.

"This is dark," said Eunkwang, "We'd better grab one of the torches. Minhyuk, hand me that one,"

Minhyuk handed Eunkwang a torch.

"Okay," said Eunkwang, "Here we go,"
