"What do you know about my father?"Jinn inquired urgently as she offered him a sit ,
"I had my suspicion the moment I saw you" she sighed
"A long time ago Bai Yu ,the founder of the Holy Gate died mysteriously along side seven of his men. Ever since then there have been a group of young men ,devotes raised to purify the city from evil". She paused as her face turned suddenly pale.
"what's wrong" Ailin placed a had on her mothers shoulder.
"I just need a cup of water, get some tea for our guest" she smiled tapping Ailin.
A lin walks away while Jinn waited patiently for the Lady to resume.
"These men where however very skilled in a particular aspect worthy of appreciation be it Sword skills, Art, Beauty,Knowledge ,Creativity, Smarts,Music...they where perfect men all together, never had one envied the other- they were pure of hearts_"
"wait" Jinn stared at here for a while "how does any of these have an answer to my question? did my father _" he turned to Ailin who returned with a tray carrying a glass of water and hot tea.
A lin grinned "He's very impatient" she gushed at her mom "just like his father"
He looks at her and back at her mum "Am getting there" the lady assured.
"Taeh!" Zi Hua yells Taeh runs into the streets he turned his head like he was searching for something.
"where" the strange voice growled and Taeh bared his teeth.
Ruo Bai rushes towards Zi Hua, "He's probably looking for Jinn...Damn! we need to take him to the hospital".
Zhang Kai nodded as they rush after him the others following behind. Reaching him they slow, Taeh began to yell something but they couldn't figure what it meant.
"He's not ok" Zhang Kai whispered as he takes hold of Taeh hand which was inhumanly cold, Zhang Kai turned pale immediately as strange power slams at him and he falls to the ground.
They all turn to Zhang Kai i. shock and Taeh stumps off.
"Your father, Fei Bai was bestowed with unimaginable beauty but during a ceremony they took yearly at the temple". She took a sip of water and continued "Van Gocci was very sick so he couldn't perform. he'd began dealing to deep with what he called the magic of painting, we discovered that the previous artist among the previous seven, Banten looked into this magic and so he decided to figure it out.A diabolical technique of painting which he was going to perform. It was black magic"she stuttered feeling uneasy "it affected his health few days before the ceremony and as such he couldn't perform.Your dad and I hid this from the priest, Fei Bai decided to save the face of his friend and fill in for him, He created such a beautiful work much better than Van Gocci could ever 'A Beautiful Artist'." she looked up at him
"The Beautiful Artist was one of Van Gocci painting he never talked about, An artist with a charming eye exactly like that of your father and same grace, He fell in love with the artist that could never be him. When the news got out about the painting that day ,Van got afraid Fei Bai's painting was a nightmare to him.
He confined himself to his workplace in the temple,he grew in envy and hatred for his beloved painting and for your father he wasn't supposed to carry such thoughts in heart_".
She looked confused and whispered something he couldn't quite grasped all he heard was "not right"
"We'll stop here" she apologized and Ailin squinted at her "you have to get going it's getting late your friends are probably worried" the Lady walked quietly away Jinn sat for a while finishing his tea and then he left.
On his way back to the apartment, he sees Taeh almost lifeless on the road with his friends around him.
'He wished Jinn would forgive him later in the future and hope everything would be ok.A lonely and undesired battle awaits him, the evil had taken over' now he could only hope.
