"I have lived the miracle of human's creating with the birth of my children. I experience every morning that I wake up and breathe a miracle."

Evanthia Magnis, Greek writer and lyricist

Finally, King Joo-Nam rose from the throne and walked to the altar where the ceremony took place.

He took a final look at his grandchildren before addressing the others.

"Everything said in this room will remain in this room."

Without a second word, they all made one last inclination and left the throne room.

Nothing would be the same anymore.

That night it was difficult for Prince Il to sleep. He sat on the edge of the bed, observing the spring full moon from the bedroom window. The words of the Priest were repeated in his mind again and again, unable to come to a reasonable explanation.

For Yona.

"Darkness has fallen upon the land.

The blood of the dragons will revive once again,

and the ancient pact will be kept.

When the four dragons are gathered,

the sword and shield which will protect the king shall awaken,

and the Red Dragon shall restore the dawn at last."

And Kaya.

"Two different worlds.

Two unfulfilled lives.

One desires Death.

The other wished Life.

A love that did not get caught up and a promise never met.

What they called * End * is actually * Beginning *.

Because the Yellow Dragon has already signed a new contract with the blood and tears of the Iron Servant.

The Messenger of Hope will at last fulfill her destiny. "

Βut even more strange was the behavior of the king himself.

"Everything said in this room will remain in this room."

Why so much secrecy? What do these prophecies mean? What do they mean for Yona and Kaya? Does the King know anything more? And if so, why not share it with anyone, especially Il and Sui-Feng? What good is going on here?

Il turned and saw his beloved wife. She had a very exhausting day today: to give birth to twins and to attend the ceremony with all her strengths remaining. She slept as soon as they arrived in their common room. She really needed it.

Next to her, in a protective embrace, Yona and Kaya slept peacefully. They do not care what's going on around them. Without being concerned with today's events.

The sleep of innocence.

The prince could not but smile at the tender scene in front of him. He married a wonderful woman and Gods blessed them with two healthy children. In itself it is a miracle.

He stood up and wore a light robe over his nightclub before going out of the room.

Walking along the corridor, his memory returned to Sui-Feng, Yona and Kaya. Whatever God's future is, they will face it united.

With a smile engraved on his lips, Prince Il was heading for his destination.

After all, he needed to pray.

The Temple of Four Dragons was an imposing temple of miào or diàn, built on the eastern side of the Castle Hiryuu. Exterior was decorated with red walls and black tiles with golden details. Internally, jade, white marble and azurite dominated. The very arrangement of the temple and the decoration of the garden represented the five tribes of Kouka: Fire, Wind, Earth, Water and Sky.

According to the legend, the temple was built at the point where the Four Divine Dragons appeared and stopped the execution of King Hiryuu.

The point that started all.

The point where the foundations of the religion of King Kouka came in.

For some, however, it would be the point of great revelations.

The Royal Priest prayed at the altar. For some reason he could not understand, the Voices of the Gods were more active at night. And only then could he clearly hear what they were saying. So he was able to offer a better quality of life to people in his own way. He loved what he did and would not change it for all the gold in the world.

He was still kneeling and praying for the prosperity of the royal family and its citizens. In the warmth of the psychic of peace , he did not expect visitors in the middle of the night.

He smiled.

"A night like this, where the truth succeeds the momentum, is the ideal to talk to the Heavens. Do not you agree ... Prince Il?"

The priest turned and saw Prince Il in the center of the room. From his gaze he realized he was quite troubled. After the events of today's day he could not offend him.

He wanted answers.

And he wanted them now.

"How can I help you, your Highness?"

"I came here because I believe that only in this place will I find the answers I am looking for, only the Heavens can shed the light of truth into the darkness of my concerns, please, tell me, Priest, what is the fate of my children? "

In these words, the Priest smiled broadly. Because in front of him stood "Father" Il, not the "Prince of King Kouka". Regardless of this evening's revelations, he would protect his daughters at all costs.

"What would you like to learn first, your Highness?"

"Everything about my daughters, what do these prophecies mean?"

"Please, follow me."

Prince Il followed the Priest at the entrance where the church communicated with the garden. The blossoming cherry trees that surrounded the temple and the blue lake symmetrically filled the image of an "Earthly Paradise". But the reason they came out was not on Earth.

When they reached their destination, the Priest looked up into the sky without saying anything.

Il followed his gaze and then he saw it:

A bright red star stood in the sky of the capital of Kouka.

This put a new query on his list.

"I know what you think, your Highness. Indeed, there is no such star in the known astral maps."

"Why did you bring me to see it?"

"The Red Star stirred the constellations and broke their alignment, which is more than rare, it is unique, a sign of the Gods."

"But what does this have to do with me? My family? My children?"

"There are only two cases in which this phenomenon has been observed," he said. "Today, it was the birth of the twin princes, but according to historical records held in the Temple of the Four Dragons, the first a view of Red Star is recorded two thousand years ago. On the day King Hiryuu renounced his immortality and became a mortal."

"You mean ... ?"

"Yes, King Hiryuu was reincarnated to your first-born daughter, Princess Yona."

Deep within him, Il knew the truth, but he hoped it was all in his imagination. He had understood it from the moment he saw Yona. His daughter was born with red hair and purple eyes. He wanted to believe it was a simple coincidence and had inherited the characteristics of a distant ancestor.

Surprisingly, the latter did not abstain much from the truth.

With all his courage left, he returned to his discussion with the Priest.

"Why? Why now?"

"It is only Gods who know about it, but the only thing that I have trusted is that the return of the Mythical King will bring radical changes to Kouka, woe to anyone who stands in his way!"

"And Kaya? What are the plans for God for her?"

"I do not know, while her presence is directly related to the current incarnation of King Hiryuu, her role and mission will be revealed over time, but for one thing I am absolutely certain."

"And what is it?"

"Princess Kaya belongs to the Yellow Dragon, and only to him."

Having all his questions answered now, Prince Il smiled with relief. Despite what he has learned, his love for his daughters has not fallen to a minimum. He would protect them by all means.

"Thank you for everything, Priest."

Throughout their conversation, no one noticed the lonely figure that stood in the shadows.

Hello, friends readers !

Who do you think was the mysterious figure who watched Il and the Priest? Any opinion is acceptable, so do not be ashamed.

Two more chapters come in a few days. Make some patience.
