Chapter 7

Attack of the Dragons

The audience is reacting chaotically at the sight of blue lights emanating from the foreigners and TOP.

“How long will the light stay?” asked Faha

“It will fade in a while.” Said Master Cha

Faha suddenly appeared at the center of the Arena.

“What an outstanding show we are witnessing from our visitors. Everyone, welcome our friends.” Said Faha

Everyone went silent. Why do they have foreigners in their land?

“I hope you’ll treat them all well while they are there.” Said Faha.

Faha motioned to Ariyah.

“Let’s go. We need to leave.” Said Ariyah

Ariyah led Chanyeol, Kris and Sulli out of the Arena.

“Minho is still inside.” Said Sulli

Minho’s brow went up…He’s been walking behind them since the group exited the arena.

“I don’t move as slow as humans.” Said Minho

Sulli immediately looked back shocked!

Minho caught up really fast!

“If you’re going to spring up in split seconds like that, some of your human circle members will suffer a heart attack.” Said Sulli

“We can’t afford that now…we can’t lose a member until we call the next bloodline.” Said Minho

“Exactly.” Said Sulli

“But you’re the only human who got shocked…and you’re not part of the Circle.” Said Minho

Sulli’s eyes narrowed…this man….is soooo IRRITATING!!!!

Chayeol went to Sulli putting his arm around her shoulder.

“Don’t worry Sulli. If something happens to you, Master Cha and I will most probably not care what happens to the Kingdom anymore.” Said Chanyeol “So we still need to make sure you’re ok.”

This Lion always protects the human girl. Minho shook his head…

TOP stands before Master Cha and Faha.

“When did you first saw the Mark?” asked Faha

“When I was younger…Around 15 years ago….I was flying across when I felt the intense pain in my arm…And then blue light…I…didn’t know then what it meant. And then a week ago….during the night…I felt it again….” Said TOP

“It was the call…the circle was called after the King’s death.” Said Master Cha

“You will need to go with the Circle TOP. To find the next bloodline.” Said Faha

“No Elder Faha…Why do we have to comply with what they want? They are not part of our world and we are not part of their world.  This will stain our clan.“ said TOP

“If you care about the clan…then can you start your leadership training for our clan?” said Faha

TOP could not answer.

“If you are going to stay…it will be hard for you to just be a normal member of the clan with your strength…you will surely look for more…just like what you did in that arena when you challenged the visitors. “ said Faha “If you’ll end up going out of the clan to look for more…I would rather that you stay with the Circle than roam around alone…You have the Circle to protect…and they will be there to protect you too….”

“I do not need anyone’s protection.” Said TOP

“You have never gotten out of the world, TOP. You saw how powerful that Man you fought with earlier. There are others….who are like him…You can’t trust your own strength alone.” Said Faha

Master Cha nodded

Master Cha can see the rebellion in TOP’s eyes…he doesn’t want to follow Faha’s direction….he clearly did not want to join the Circle…But TOP should know that Faha is right…

“That man…I fought with…what is he?” asked TOP

“We are yet to find out.” Said Master Cha

“I have a feeling I know what he is…but I need to get proof first…And I need to win against him…” said TOP “Only for that reason…to win against him... will I join your circle.” Said TOP

Master Cha smiled…Who would’ve thought the warrior of the Dark will be the one to lure the white dragon…

----------------------

Sulli walked around the house they are staying at….she can’t sleep…a lot of things in her mind…TOP is the white dragon of the prophesy… Will they be able to convince him to join them? Where do they go from here?

Sulli saw Minho standing out…he’s not sleeping?

“A human should gather strength for the next day.” Said Minho

He felt her? She’s 5 feet behind him.

Sulli walked towards Minho.

“Don’t you sleep?” asked Sulli

“I don’t… usually. It’s such a waste of time to just sleep when…..” Said Minho

Minho stopped himself. He’s speaking too much.

“Sleep is rest. One should recharge after a tiring day.” Said Sulli

“A human Yes.” Said Minho

“And you? What are you?” asked Sulli when she was already face to face with Minho.

Sulli is intensely looking at Minho.

“I am your worst nightmare. ” Said Minho

“You are cold…and strong…to the point of being scary…but I don’t think you’re my worst nightmare…there is something about you…that makes me think there is something more…something within…something that you would see beneath if I only look closer…something I want to dig….” Said Sulli

Minho felt odd…it’s like she’s trying to look into his soul with her eyes. Is that possible?

Minho looked at the human…her curiosity will bring her trouble…

“What do you see so far?” asked Minho

Sulli reached Minho’s neck and touched the place where the mark usually shines.

“I see someone who is important to this Kingdom…someone who is strong…His strength enough to protect the people…” said Sulli

Minho felt a sudden quickening in his chest. And he doesn’t like it.

“My loyalty is not to the Kingdom.” Said Minho

Sulli looked away. For a while there…she felt like she was looking inside him…she felt so close to something…something about this shadow man…

She wants to know…what is he…who he is…She wants to know him.

“I can
