"could be a rat or something, the backside of the cart is filled with all kinds of old stuff," yuan said confronting Xin who was looking at the backside of the cart in a confused manner, especially the mysterious box which they found in the river.
"Yeah, maybe..." Xin mumbled uncertainly.
"It's almost nighttime now and the the road is pretty bumpy too. It's quite unsettling to drive, we are indeed late" Yuan muttered as he drove the horse cart towards the city of Solana which is situated few miles away from their current location.

Meanwhile, inside the coffin, a pair of dark blue eyes flickered in pitch-black space. When those eyes opened, the surrounding aura became cold and chilly, birds started leaving their nests, and wolves started howling as they sensed something unusual in their surroundings. Various kinds of extraordinary things started happening out of nowhere at once.
Yuan halted the cart and exchanged glances with Xin. Both of them were clueless about the sudden changes in their surroundings.
"What is happening here? Everything was normal a few moments ago, why I am feeling this kind of uneasiness and it's not even rainy season then why did the sudden changes in weather" Yuan look at the man sitting beside him and told him after noticing the dark clouds in the sky.
"Brother yuan something dont feel right, it's a bad omen"Xin muttered in low voiece and he looked behind in the direction of the casket and nervously swallowed mouthful saliva. He felt something unusual. Yuan noticed that different kindss of expressions on Xin's face and he understands what kind of thoughts his partner having right now, he cleared his throat.
"Maybe the storm is coming. We have to reach the city as soon as possible. this is indeed very odd" Yuan mumbled.
"Yes, I don't want to spend the night outside the city. This forest is a dangerous place and various kinds of monsters are lurking in the dark. At the same time, we are also carrying this damn thing.I am not getting good vibes from this mysterious casket" Xin patted yuan's shoulder, telling him to drive the horse cart.
"You are right. There is no point in stopping here." Yuan responded as he started driving the horse cart again,unaware of the happenings inside the coffin behind his seat.
Both barely traveled a few hundred meters when a lightning bolt struck the cart. The entire cart was blown away along with the two fishermen. They were propelled a few meters away along with the coffin. It happened so fast that they weren't able to understand what just happened.
Fortunately, yuan was all right but xin were crying in pain. A few moments later, Yuan got up on his feet and approached Xin in hurry to see his partner who was crying like a woman who is about to deliver a child.
"Hey mate, are you all right?"
"ahhh fuck,just help me get up. Ugh, I think I broke my fucking leg." Xin responded. Hearing him, Yuan gave him a helping hand to get him up on his feet.
"Damn it, what in the world happened to us? Did that lightning bolt hit us? How are we still alive after getting hit by that lighting strike!?" Xin exclaimed and cried in pain.
"Who cares? We are alive. That's all that matters, otherwise who would feed those children of mine?" Yuan said differently as he looked at Xin's leg.
"Don't worry, even if anything happens to you, I will take care of your wives... I mean, I will take care of your children. You can trust me."
Xin chuckled but at the same time he groan in pain Upon hearing him, Yuan gave him a cold gaze and a moment later, both of them broke into laughter.
Suddenly, something caught their attention as they heard some kind of sound.
"What the hell was that?" Both of them said in unison as their gazes turned toward the coffin which was laying in the middle of the road, apart from coffin their entire cart was destroyed.Both of them exchanged glances and nodded as they slowly started approaching the coffin.

"How much time has passed since I went into hibernation? It must be a very long time…"
A figure with short silver hair blasted the coffin's lid and got out of it lazily. He had a handsome white face and a bright smile which was making his beautiful feature more refine,He stretched his hands and yawned.
"A young kid~~~"
Suddenly, these words echoed in the surrounding,
Upon hearing those words, the young silver hair kid turned his head and looked at the two figures who were standing a few steps away from him.
"Humans..."
That figure whispered as he looked at the two middle-aged men with a surprised look on his face. Those two also looked at him in a baffled manner as they didn't understand how this handsome young kid who dosent look more than seventeen-year-old ended up inside the coffin. Both of them were surprised to see him.
Observing those expressions on their faces, the mysterious figure smiled and ruffled his silver hair. He could understand that those two were surprised to see him. He took a few steps towards them.
"My name is William. Who are you people? More importantly, what are you doing with my coffin?" William asked as he looked at Xin and Yuan who were looking back at him in confusedsed manner.
