Chapter 1 - MARKED BY THE MOON

CHAPTER 1

Forest trees dances to the wind that passes as the morning sun shone brightly.In a cave,Sihyun yawns and wakes slowly seeing Yuhyun sitting beside him

"How are you feeling?"

Sihyun gently sat up straight as Yuhyun placed his hand on Sihyun's forehead

"How many tattoos now?"

"18...and you're already stronger"

Yuhyun said and handed him a wooden cup

"Here...have some water"

Sihyun gulp from it and spoke up

"Let's kill the humans and burn

down the village"

"Great...here we go again... we'll

be going into town to get some food

Can you walk?"

"You mean steal some food...and you

need my help for that"

"Keep silent and take this"

Yuhyun gave him a small bottle that contains an ointment

"Can I just stay here?"

"And run away before I even come back?

No thank you"

"You know how much I hate taking that"

"And you know how much trouble i went

stealing these at the black market...

It helps you concealing your tattoos while

We're in public"

Sihyun gave Yuhyun a long stare and grab the bottle from Yuhyun

CHATTER

The marketplace bustle with people,the scent of fresh bread and sizzling of meat fill the air,Sihyun walk behind Yuhyun wearing a black and red durumagi keeping his hood up blending in with the crowds.A poster on the wall caught Sihyun's attention

"Yuhyun...over here"

Sihyun called,Yuhyun halt and walked over to Sihyun

"A reward to anyone who can find and

brings in a young blood demon sorcerer

Signed...his royal majesty"

Sihyun read aloud,then smiled at Yuhyun

"Let's surrender and then burn the

Palace to the ground"

"We are here to get food then head back"

Yuhyun drag Sihyun along with him

"Stay close to me"

Yuhyun moved swiftly,slipping a few stolen buns into his sleeve

"We should leave"

Yuhyun whispered darting his eyes around but Sihyun was nowhere to be found

"Please let me go...I beg of you"

A young lady cries out who was been drag along by bounty hunters in a corner

"Take her along...She's mine tonight"

The leader said as they all laughed

"Let her go"

Sihyun appeared out of nowhere

"Whoo...what do we go here?"

The leader said walking up to Sihyun and the rest follow leaving the young lady behind,she got up and ran away with fear

"What's a pretty face doing here?"

They snicker

"What?...do you wish to take her place?"

Out of the blue,one of them jumped ready to hit Sihyun with a big axe,but Sihyun's eyes glows red and a rope appeared,tying his leg and hanging him upside down on the roof top of a house

"Whoa...I think we just hit the jackpot

A young blood demon sorcerer coming

straight to us"

The leader said backing away slowly

"Take him alive at all cost"

He whispered to his men

They all came after Sihyun at once,Sihyun's eyes continues glowing as small knife flew the air stabbing them differently on the body

Suddenly,Sihyun's right hand lit up with flames,he blows it out to them and they were on fire,screaming and shouting

Sihyun curves a evil smile

"Die you filthy..."

Sihyun let out a sharp breath as cold metal wrapped around his neck from behind,his body locked up as his magic was completely sealed,Sihyun fell on his knees to the ground

The leader laughed out loud,the whispers into Sihyun's ears

"Sorcererchain...you filthy sorcerer"

They hit Sihyun hard on the head and he past out

"Sihyun!"

Yuhyun's voice rang out

"Ah...you can tell they are identical

He must be his other half"

Yuhyun grit his teeth as he fist tightened

"Let him go"

"He must be a demon sorcerer too...

Double rewards...take him out"

Yuhyun unexpectedly got knocked out from behind and he past out

THE ROYAL PALACE

Sihyun grunt slowing waking up,he looks round and finds himself in a dark cell,he tried moving but a metal chain click round his left leg that prevents him from moving

He tries to invoke magic but it wasn't coming forth

"Yuhyun!"

Sihyun calls out

"Yuhyun!!"

"Will you be silent and let me think?"

Yuhyun voice came at the other end of the dungeon,grunting quietly

"I thought you died"

Sihyun said feeling relief

"Where are we?"

"In the palace dungeon"

Yuhyun answered

"I can not invoke magic...my magic is

gone"

"You are on sorcerer chain...it helps

seal off magic"

"Did they use it on you too?"

"They think I'm a sorcerer also"

Sihyun scoff

"When I get out of this chains...I

shall make them suffer"

"Sihyun...be quiet"

"What?"

Sihyun asked in confusion,suddenly the dungeon door click open and the palace guards walked in unlocking Sihyun's cell door

"You are been summoned...demon"

They drag Sihyun up

"Let go of me...you humans"

Sihyun struggles,they did same to Yuhyun dragging them both out

"I swear..you will all feel my wrath"

Sihyun's voice faded

Jin Muwon stood by his room window staring outside blankly with hands crossed backwards

Lee Dohyun,son of the prime minister and Jang Taejin,son of the General barged in at once but Taejin kept his composure

"They found a demon sorcerers"

Dohyun blurted out

Muwon slowly turn his gaze on them

"Demon sorcerers?"

Muwon asked in a calm and lowly tone

"They are probably two..I think

You can just get rid of one"

Taejin added in a calm manner

"They are probably getting questioned

by his Majesty and the shamans"

Dohyun added but Muwon remained calm

"We are pleased to see a demon sorcerer

For our childhood friend"

Taejin said feeling joyful and relief

"We slaughtered their kind..didn't know

We shall need one some day..what if

she hates us humans?"

All of a sudden,Dohyun burst into laughter,Muwon looks in surprise

"She?...it a he"

"He?"

Muwon asked surprised

Sihyun and Yuhyun was chained to a chair at the center of the palace interrogation room

His Majesty,the king and the two shamans stood in front of them as Sihyun grit his teeth in anger ready to pounce on them

"One of them is human...your majesty"

The woman shaman predictably said
