26. Blast to the past

Dahyun:
"okay mom!"

Chaeyoung:
"o-okay mom!"

Mother:
"Puriegra"

Dahyun and Chaeyoung were immediately being showered and cleaned by their mother's spell

Chaeyoung:
"Ah! It tickles!"

Dahyun:
"Mommy!"

Mother:
"there. there" she smiled

The girls laughed as their father fixed the camp for for tonight's camp out.

*a child's cry*

The father heard this as he fixed the wood for the camp. The child kept crying trying to find it's serenity.

Father:
"what was that."

Dahyun who was already done washing up walked towards her dad.

Dahyun:
"Papa. it sounds like a kid crying"

Chaeyoung followed her older sister

Chaeyoung:
"a kid c-crying?"

Dahyun:
"Chaeyoung! careful!"

Chaeyoung slipped and got her knee bruised. She cried as her mother carried her. The crying went louder and louder. enough for a loud roar to fill the forest. It was different. The father then decided to follow the cry.

Father:
"you girls stay here."

Dahyun:
"Papa I wanna come.."

Chaeyoung:
"I wanna come too! Mama! put me down!" she cried and fussed

Dahyun:
"no. it's dangerous."

Chaeyoung:
"I.. I wanna come" she pouted

Dahyun:
"but.."

Chaeyoung:
"Unnie..."

Dahyun:
"Papa.."

As she turned her father was already on the verge of leaving.

Dahyun:
"ah! okay! let's go!"

She carried Chaeyoung from her mother's arm as they waved to their mom.

Mother:
"Girls! take care!"

Dahyun:
"Papa!"

Father:
"Dahyunie. careful."

Dahyun:
"Papa. it's getting dark."

Father:
"but that child seemed helpless. we gotta find it."

They walked through the woods and followed the cries. They turned and followed which instantly lead them to the center of the woods. Filled with green grass and was a high opened area where a single tree is found in the middle with it's arc shaped branch covering everywhere. It looks serene and myterious.

Dahyun:
"Papa.. where are we.."

Father:
"I don't know.."

They walked forward and found the source of the cry.

Father:
"ah.. there you are little one."

Chaeyoung:
"I wanna see! I wanna see! put me down unnie"

Dahyun:
"okay. okay."

Chaeyoung was placed down as she ran to the little girl who was crying. She smiled and patted her stomach.

Chaeyoung:
"hee hee! she laughed unnie!"

The child smiled and stopped her cries. The father looked around to see if someone owns the child. He yelled to ask if anyone was there and there were no response. He grabbed the child up and the girl smiled.

Father:
"poor you..- should we bring her to mother?"

Chaeyoung:
"Yes! Yes!"

Dahyun:
"let's go papa! Mom might be worried."

They smiled and brought the child out of the tree center back to their camp out. They adopted the child as of it was their own.

*End of Flashback*

Dahyun:
"2 days later, news came out about Ellingwe Woods.."

Chaeyoung:
"It burnt down, from a meteor strike I believe."

Dahyun:
"Ever since then, We never found out if Tzuyu was a Wizard or a Sorcerer.. but we always thought she is different when it comes to magic."

Jihyo:
"I see.. Ellingwe Woods huh.."

Sana:
"Ahh! T-Tzuyu?!"

Tzuyu happened to be shivering more and her body seemed as if someone was ought to strangle her.

Dahyun:
"W-What's going on?!"
