Ordio's Troops

20 years ago. . . .

@Yeongdam Forest

"Asahi!!! Asahi!!!"

Yikyung was seen running so hurriedly while shouting Asahi's name, intending to call her by name. Upon seeing Asahi with Johyuk, Yikyung immediately came over to her.

"Asahi, it's bad!" she said, breathing heavily.

"What's wrong, Yikyung~ah? Speak slowly."

"There's an Ordio Squad here!" she continued.

"What? The Ordio Squad? What are they coming to Yeongdam for?" asked Asahi who was starting to look annoyed.

"They want to judge Anata, your sister."

"What?" shouted Asahi in disbelief.

Hearing the news brought by Yikyung, Asahi immediately went to find Anata; her sister, along with Johyuk and Yikyung.

"What are you doing in my house?"

Asahi burst into the crowd and stared at the Ordio troops, who wore dark green robes and carried their sun staffs.

The Ordio Squad was a squad of exterminators of mythical creatures that were quite troubling to humans. Where the people of the court; a place of judgment between the realm of mythical creatures and the human realm, could punish anyone who had broken the rules that had been made and agreed upon.

"We are here to try and punish one of the mutants in Yeongdam forest who has broken the rules. Where he killed innocent civilians and ate their souls," said one of the big men who was the leader of the Ordio army.

"Not a single mutant here has broken that rule." Asahi answered with conviction.

"Are you sure, Asahi?"

Kang Taeshin, who appeared and opened his voice, immediately stepped forward as he took off his cape and looked at Asahi, as well as the other mutants to come surround them.

"I'm sure. We have also made a special rule for anyone who wants to live in Yeongdam Forest, must abide by the rules we made. If they violate them, they will be expelled from Yeongdam Forest on the spot."

"Then what is this?"

Kang Taeshin gave Asahi a sharp look and showed him a white shadow. Where, that shadow was the incident that had happened two days ago.

The incident at that time was when humans were killed by someone believed to be a mutant from the Yeongdam forest, and broke into ChungIl village.

The mutant killed the humans in ChungIl village and ate their souls until it took the body somewhere. Upon seeing the shadow, Asahi and the other mutants were shocked. Because the shadow showed that the mutant was Anata; Asahi's biological sister.

"No! That can't be Anata, my sister!!!" shouted Asahi who still didn't believe that it was her sister.

"You still don't believe it? The facts already prove that it was Anata, your own younger sister!"

"No, it wasn't Anata, it wasn't her!!!" she yelled in disbelief.

"Calm down, Asahi. We're sure it wasn't Anata, try to calm down."

Johyuk, a mutant man who was a close friend of Asahi's, tried to calm her down. However, Asahi was too shocked and tried to continue to rebel.

"Call Anata here right now. If necessary, drag her here!" Taeshin ordered his men.

"No! Don't do that!"

Once ordered, one of Ordio's men immediately searched for Anata. Once he found her, he dragged her away by roughly pulling her clothes.

"Anata!!!" screamed Asahi upon seeing her sister who had been dragged away like a criminal.

"Noona, what happened? I'm innocent, Noona!" she said, looking terrified.

"Noona believes in you, Anata. You're innocent, you couldn't have committed that crime."

"Noona, help me!!!"

"Let go of my brother, Kang Taeshin! She's innocent."

Kang Taeshin smiled sarcastically and grinned. He began to roughly pull Anata's clothes off and exposed her pitiful face on the ground.

"Look at the Yeongdam forest residents, Anata. Look at the consequences of what you have done. You made your people suffer and endure shame. And, you should be ready for trial today."

Taeshin began to pick up his sun staff. He held Anata's head so tightly that both of her balls turned red from crying and pain, while staring at the faces of her brother and the other Yeongdam forest residents.

"I, Kang Taeshin, the prime minister of judgment of the Ordio army, will judge the mutant Anata of Yeongdam forest. You, will be burned by the fire of immortality and will be returned to the true owner of your body. May your sins be forgiven by the Gods."

Kang Taeshin immediately struck Anata's heart with his sun staff, then pulled out the heart inside her body and burned it with eternal fire, as well as her body which was immediately burned at that moment.

Seeing Anata on trial before her own eyes, Asahi screamed hysterically. In her wrath for killing Anata in her own home, she attacked Kang Taeshin with her divine lotus flower wand.

Likewise, the other mutants started attacking Ordio's troops and ravaged Yeongdam forest. After the attack of Ordio's troops in Yeongdam forest that day, Asahi had vowed to avenge his innocent brother.

However, a shocking news came from Yeongdam residents, that Johyuk who was a close friend of Asahi, disappeared and was taken by Aeshin. After 3 days of Anata's death, Johyuk disappeared and was taken captive by Aeshin.

"Why, why did all this have to happen to me!!!" screamed Asahi near the sacred Waterfall Valley.

"Asahi," someone called out, making Asahi look back.

"You? What are you coming to me for? Do you want to kill me?" Asahi shouted vengefully as she saw Taeshin approaching her.

"I'm sorry, Asahi. I made a mistake. Apparently, the one who killed and ate the human souls in Chungil village was not Anata, but another mutant from Yeongdam who had disguised himself as your brother. I and the rest of Ordio's troops will return to investigate this case. And, I am here to apologize to you."

"I will never accept your apology. Your apology is useless and cannot bring back my brother's life. Until I can kill you, I will never forgive you. Just wait for my revenge! You'll never be able to live in peace, Kang Taeshin."

After finishing his sentence, Asahi walked away leaving Taeshin shrouded in guilt. And, for the next 20 years, Asahi lived a life full of vengeance and always tried to kill Kang Taeshin. However, his efforts always failed. Taeshin was so strong and so mysterious, he could never defeat him.

In fact, as a form of accountability, Kang Taeshin resigned as the prime minister of judgment of the Ordio army. Now, he has been living as a wanderer for the past few years.

However, even though he is no longer a part of Ordio's army, his life is never at ease. Because no matter where he is, Asahi is always nearby trying to kill him.

Having proclaimed him as their eternal enemy, they always attacked each other every day, until now they have become traveling companions along with Ling Fei, Han Yuram, Lee Gon and Yeongwan.
