"The Dark War was one of the most unforgettable events in our history…well before our clans were wiped off from the books." Lady Ning Gwang starts as she crosses her legs and starts picking on her nails. "Long ago, when there were still nine clans, people believed in their power and ability to maintain peace. So in order to continue to praise them and be on their good side, people built temples for them and offered them mana or any kind of magical item that boosts the nine clans mana."
"But I thought magical items were rare. How come people give them off just like that?" Mi Young asks. She has both of her legs on her sides and her palms pressing against the mattress, so close to where Kwang Soo's legs are.
