You placed Wendy on her bed as she fell asleep in your arms, you look at her full of sadness. Her breathing were weak and you were very worried about her wellbeing.
"Please don't look at Wendy with those sad eyes" Frimora said
"We must prohibit her from using her powers for it will kill her, we will do everything to free her and be able to use her powers once again." You said
"I know you will" Frimora said
"How did she get cursed?" Yeji asked
"Let me tell you" Wang sat on the chair "It was way back when they are battling the powerful demon lord named Colossus. Just like you kids, Miss Son Wendy is a member of the first hero party but they weren't part of your world."
"So they were born with gifts?" Beomgyu asked
"Well we are. The members of the hero party were Me, Frimora, Garsiv, Wendy and The White Knight named Roderick" Wang said
"Really?! So you guys are the first hero party?!" Huening Kai said
"Yes they were" Ryujin said
"Oh my god! I didn't know that my teachers are the first hero party!!" Huening Kai said
Wang smiled
"How did Miss Wendy got the curse?" Yeji asked
"Yeah about that, We were battling the colossus and we had a hard time dealing with him for he was so powerful and even the white knight were struggling to defeat him. We charge altogether and out of all of us the most powerful member of the Hero party is not the white knight" Wang said
"Then who?" Yujin asked
"It was no other than The Blue Sapphire Priestess, Son Seung Wan or you must've known her but the name Son Wendy" Frimora said
"Miss Wendy?!" They all said except you, ryujin and winter
"Yes Miss Wendy is the most powerful member of the hero party, what you saw earlier on how she apprehend the uncontrollable Felix? She wasn't even using the five percent of her powers, she was the most treasured human of this empire and she must be protected." Wang said
"And colossus came to know about her capability so he planned on cursing her because he knew he cannot kill her with his own powers so he decided to use her own power to kill her. At first he was aiming at the people then she prepared herself to protect the people but it was just a distraction his real motive is to curse her by catching her off guard which he manage to be successful and this weakens our powers" Frimora said
"Wendy were about to die by in colossus hand but the white knight Roderick decided to use full force just to kill Colossus, we are all at our limits and Roderick is the only one who can fight but he cannot do it alone." Wang said with sadness
"Roderick spoke his last words and wishes before breaking his own limits, he gave his energy to Wendy so that the curse won't kill her so fast, he gave us the final energy to fight so as the other kingdom to fight, we all gathered together to kill colossus. We manage to kill him erasing his existence in this world, we were victorious but we lost Roderick. He sacrifice his life to protect this world and to save Miss Wendy." Frimora said with sadness
"The curse.... Does it have a cure?" Wonyoung asked
"Roderick told us that there was a sword that can remove any curse" Wang said
"Where is it?" Yeji asked
"It was located at the heavily guarded labyrinth, it was taken by the demons so it won't be easy to break through plus there's no member here in this hero party who have a lot of experience on battling demons in the labyrinth" Garsiv said
"There is" You said leaning on the wall with your arms crossed "We do have a lot of experience on fighting labyrinth monsters"
All of the members look at you and Winter
"Did you forgot that we fell in labyrinth? To the part they call the abyss?" Winter said
They were stunned
"Plus I already conquered a labyrinth" you said and your eyes glowed red
"What?! How?!" Soobin said
"Conquering a labyrinth will only happen if the headmaster gave it to you or you killed him in the battle" Wonyoung said
"Well I did kill him, I wasn't planning to but he just really asking for it" you said
They started to get scared and they knew how powerful labyrinth head masters were and seeing one person manage to kill a headmaster means they are way above level 500 and powerful enough to face the strongest adventurers ever existed
"Don't scare them honey" Winter said
"Oh sorry" you said "Well, Wendy noona's curse were called "Death Seal". It is a curse that limit the power usage of a person, making him or her be unable to go full burst for their powers will break their spirit if they ever try to go way beyond the limit so if you were powerful before, you will become weak and unable to fight like how you used to be and it is really a huge bothersome" you said
"Y/n is right" Wang said
"How did you knew about this?" Taehyun asked
"Well, I read a demonic book before back at the labyrinth on where we fell and met one of the demon generals but we didn't manage to fight with them for they already fled" you said
"You met with one of the demon generals?!" Ryujin asked
"Yes, and she is very powerful" you said
"We saw her aura and it was really strong and demonic." You said "her aura isn't something belittle with"
Ryujin look at you "have you ever seen your aura?"
"Well I don't pay much attention to it but I think I'm quite.... Strong?" You said
Winter chuckles and the other hero party shook their head in disbelief
"So where is the map?" Huening Kai asked
"Well should we all go together? I can stay and guard the palace" Soobin said
"I'm afraid that all of you must go" Frimora said
They were surprised
"But the kingdom" Beomgyu said
"You need to fight the labyrinth demons and gain experience and I will entrust all of your safety to Y/n and Winter for they are..... Much powerful than us and the kingdom has its way on protecting the people plus demon invasion is unlikely to happen any time now for they were still gathering troops and planning so take this time and save our Beloved Member Priestess Son Wendy, who's our friend and your teacher." Frimora said
"Please find the sword" Wang said
"We beg you Sir y/n, Miss Winter" Frimora said
"You can count on us Sir Frimora and Sir Wang" you smiled
Frimora saw the smile of the past white knight on you and he cannot help but to show his sad smile. You went inside Wendy's room along with winter so as the other hero party. Wendy were sitting on her bed staring at the window.
"Noona?" You spoke
"Oh y/n" Wendy look at you
"How are you feeling?" You asked and sat on the chair beside her bed
"I'm doing fine, you don't have to worry about me" Wendy caresses your hair
"Don't you dare do that again Sister Wendy" Winter said and sat beside you
"Oh does my student loves me too much?" Wendy teased
"Of course we do!" Yeji said and sat beside winter
"Oh this is touching, I feel so old now" Wendy said
"But still beautiful right?" Ryujin walk towards her
"Oh you bet I am" Wendy said chuckling
The four of you smiled
"Y/n-ah, you don't have to go that far for me... I don't want to expose you in much more danger" Wendy said
"I'll do anything to make you feel better and be able to use your powers to protect yourself and the people you love, I'm not always here to protect you Noona, you see.... I'm a demon now and I can't enter the kingdom back and forth, I want to be sure that you will be safe after all you are the most treasured person in this kingdom and your presence is crucial to kingdoms safety and you are my only family I have." You said holding her hand
Wendy smiles and caresses your hair
"What did I do to deserve someone so special like you?" Wendy said "Come here" Wendy hugged you
"No matter what happens, you are always welcome here. I am always on your side and I will pray that you'll get through everything and my arms are always open for you. After all, you are my dearest student and also my most treasured person" Wendy said
You smiled and hug her back. Frimora were watching you, Wendy, Winter, Yeji and Ryujin laughing together and this reminds him of the day where he was still young and part of the first hero party. Frimora, Wang, Garsiv, Wendy and Roderick, the three grew old but only Wendy stayed young for priestesses stop aging when they hit their final form and they lost one of the beloved member which is Roderick, the white knight and Frimora started to fear that he might also lose one of his friend again, Son Wendy.
When Frimora saw you and winter fell to the abyss he was depressed, he cannot stop blaming himself for failing to protect you and winter, he remember that time when roderick bid his farewell to them and seeing how your and winter's fall affected Wendy greatly and when he found out that you and winter survive made him feel so relieved but also guilty.
"I will hone their skills to the next level and make sure that if you see us again, you will be surprised on how powerful we will become" You said
"Really? Also I want all of you to be safe" Wendy said
"We will, trust me noona" you said
"I will always trust you" Wendy said
You chuckles
"Now that's my precious student" Wendy said
"Now that's called bias" Yeji said
Wendy chuckles "oh no dear it's not"
"What about us?" Yeji pout and lay on the bed
"Of course all of you are my beloved students" Wendy said
"Yeji and her childish behaviors" Winter said
Yeji laughed
"There's nothing new about that" Ryujin said
Yeji pout.
"Miss Wendy really loved her students doesn't she?" Yujin asked
"She does" Wang said
"It must've really made Miss Wendy depressed hearing about their fall huh?" Wonyoung said
"It did.... She didn't leave her room for weeks" Wang said
"I guess that Miss Wendy is so pure" Taehyun said
"Wendy is full of Kindness, Thoughtful, caring, sweet, and humble." Wang said "Losing her will break everyone's heart and all of the kingdom will lament and mourn. I have foreseen her death before but it all disappeared a certain person appeared and I don't know who it is."
"I'm pretty sure I know who that is" Wonyoung said as she look at you
Wang look at her and saw where she was staring at and he chuckles and nod his head.
"I will entrust her life in your hands now y/n, please free her from the curse" Wang said in his thoughts
