求 - IG witness.
"It was Winter, a particularly harsh one. I was on night shift at the headquarters, when we received a sudden, emergency call for reinforcements from the leading guards of the village of JinTie village, in Fengshii county. Normally we wouldn't even know of such a place, if it wasn't the the Count of Fengshii and his family lived in there. It still haunts me... why in the world would the Count decide to live in such a Gods-forsaken, mining village? Why not live in the city of Fengshii?" The old IG shakes his head and sighs.
"We responded to the call and gathered a squad to reach the village as soon as possible, but it wasn't so easy. Who would have ever been to that place? There wasn't a single guard able to teleport us there, nor there were teleporters. It was a place literally nobody would be interested in visiting, not a trading place, nothing useful or particular..." He takes a breath. "It wasn't before dawn that we finally managed to find a man, a merchant who was born in that village but moved to Shiirhuang. He teleported us all there." Break.
"There was barely any light yet, since the sun had not yet rose. There isn't much light in those areas, anyway. It's always cloudy and foggy...
We were expecting the worst, since we arrived so late afre the call. Yet, the village seemed totally calm and tidy. Not a single sound, not a sign of battle or ruckus of any kind. But there was nobody. Not a guard, not a peasant. Where did the guards go? Was my first thought. They all died? There was a raid of some sort? I couldn't figure out. We were on our guard, there was something absolutely off in that whole matter and place... you'll think I'm crazy." The man rubs his face.
"We cautiously moved through the deserted village, a small place, less than 200 people lived there, including the children. We knocked on every door, made all the possible noise. Some smoke still came out of various chimneys, yet nobody coming to the doors. At that point, I have the order to break inside a few houses to see. I myself kicked down a door and walked inside. Nobody. Not a soul. Fireplaces still lit, there was even half eaten food on some tables... cold teas, messed beds... but not one, single, godsdamned person." He shuts his eyes.
"At that point, I went a little crazy. I ordered my men to search every inch, of over single house. It couldn't be possible. It was as if people had simply vanished from their houses. Not a sign of fight, not a drop of blood. Not a single clue that would point at a sudden emergency, an attack or whatnot.
While my men checked the average people's house, together with a few others, I headed to the Qiu residence." Pause.
"Needless to say, the place was just as silent and empty as the rest. No guards by the gate, no servants preparing the house for the awakening of their masters. It wasn't a good sign. Even if I loudly announced my arrival multiple times, nobody answered nor came to welcome us, thus we proceeded inside. That place was... eerie. A big residence, but not what you'd expect from Sacred Blood. There was a sense of decay, in there. It wasn't particularly clean or as luxurious as what you'd see in Shiirhuang. Yet, the Qiu have always been among the richest."
It's clear the old IG has some heavy feeling regarding Qiu family.
"Fortunately, we searched everywhere in that place too, because otherwise there would likely be no way in the world we could possibly notice them... the twins." He shakes his head, like about to say something even he would struggle to believe, if it had not been that he saw with his own eyes. "We found one locked inside the cellar. The other one was locked inside the attic. Two toddlers, how in the world did they end up in those places? Who would lock those small children alone in those dark and icy cold places? I still can't believe it, for the love of me." He hits the table with his hand. "They were 2 years old. Two toddlers of that age, locked alone in those terrifying places... not making a breath. Even the most quiet of all children would scream and cry their lungs out, they'd hit the entrance and try to catch anyone's attention at all cost... but nothing. They were silent and as quiet as ever... what kind of circumstances could make children that way?" So baffled.
"Those children were the only living thing we found in that whole village. Not even a dog, a cat or a damned rat. Only those two children. I tried to speak to them, see if they knew anything, but they were too small to even reply my questions. And they were freezing, so we urgently sent them back to Shiirhuang to be taken care of by some physician. We also sent a warning to their grandfather, but stayed longer to search more. A secret passage.connecting all the houses? 183 souls disappeared into thin air... we couldn't find a single clue. Nothing. If someone had attacked and threatened, why would nobody oppose resistance? There were weapons in many houses and no sign someone tried to reach for them. Besides, would the attackers give people the time to lock the doors? Nothing made any sense. We even searched the surroundings of the village... a totally deserted area, mountains, forests and nothing."
He covers his face with hands. "This case haunted me for years. I continued to investigate even when it made no sense anymore. When the higher ups decided to close the case, I still continued to investigate by myself in the free time.
When the twins were about 8 years old, I tried to meet with them to ask. If they had even just one memory.of that night, I needed to find out. Yet, their grandfather refused categorically to let me see them. And the next day, I got kicked out from the IG." Deep sigh. "General Zhendong lately gave me another chance, or I wouldn't be here otherwise. After losing my job, back then, I stopped to get involved. I feared Lord Qiu would attempt to my life or endanger my family, he was a powerful and dangerous man, apparently."
The IG looks at the interlocutor. "I'm surprised to have been asked about this. Only one person before you, ever came to ask about those twins: Captain Yung. I heard they have quite a bad reputation."
The IG concludes: "Should your curiosity lead you to the solution of that mystery, please let me know. I need to know, before I die, so that I will be able to rest peacefully in the otherworld."

好.
He opens his eyes and as every morning, it's him. He sits up and looks around, the room is totally dark. Nothing new.
He groans. The pain is so sharp that he regains lucidity almost right away. Almost every single part of his upper body burns like fire. He hurries to get up from the bed and each for the shelves where all the potions and elixirs are, in the bathroom. He drinks up a vial of painkillers, trembling and panting during the few minutes it takes to have its effects. What could have happened this time, to reduce his body to this state? What did WuQing do?
He returns to the bedroom, approaches the window and moves the curtains to let some light in. It isn't much, on that mountain there is always clouds and mist, the sky is never clear for long.
Like every morning, he goes to check the diary, with tail between legs. He hates to do it, but he has to know what the main personality has been doing while he was away. It makes him sick, in a way, but it has become an habit by now. And he needs to find out why everything hurts so bad.
WuQing writes everything he does or happens to him in a very detailed way, in his diary.
He turns the pages to the last he read and proceeds with the story. "He really got angry..." he mutters to himself while reading. "Not good."
Shockingly, among the sentences full of hate, anger and frustration, there is a portrait. The face of a young boy. | I'll catch him/I'll make him pay/I'll kill him no matter what... | And the sort.
He states at the portrait and gasps. Whoever that person is, he is in serious danger. He knows what WuQing is like.
Both himself and the main identity know of each others, but unlike him, WuQing is quite tyrannic. He didn't give him rules. To discourage him from doing anything when it's his time, he just tends to threaten, hurt and damage whoever he tries to approach. He is scared of WuQing more than he is of anything or anyone.
For that reason, he didn't leave that lonely residence on the mountain for a very long time, worried that he could be responsible of someone getting hurt. But this time it's different. That boy is probably in danger and needs to get warned before something tragic happens again.
He approaches the closet to get some clothes. It had been a while since he took off the night clothes. "Only black, as always..." The only colorful thing is the IA uniform and of course he doesn't dare to touch it.
He heads to Shiirhuang, to look for information about the boy. He knows that WuQing and another IA were after him, but they both failed to catch him and got defeated by the boy in a 1 vs 2, which caused the IAs to get punished and all the fury in WuQing. He also knows that the not was saved by the Prince and couldn't be imprisoned even. He just needs to find out where he is staying.
Searching around, he learns that Prince SongYu is on Earth with his father and sister, and thanks to a friend he has, he manages to get a portal right in the place. Someone is in danger, could there be a better reason to bother the Imperial Family during their holiday?
He brought WuQing's diary with him, so that he can show the portrait to ask for directions. He doesn't even know the name of that boy and he could, absolutely.not, tear off the page and bring just that one. He can't risk to let WuQing know he left the house and did something on his own.
When in Seoul, his friends points him to the house where the Prince is known to be and approaches it, with a bit of hesitation. Of course he is wearing Xhuanghen clothes, full black, he couldn't do otherwise.
He knocks on the door and waits.

The Kwak.
~ Family brief recap.
- Middle-class..
- Respectably wealthy.
- Moderately instructed.
~ Members.
• Kwak SuJin.
Father. 35 years old. Alchemist.
Looks: images.app.goo.gl/psW4e9kYAHc7GRQy8
Bio: He was raised by the Kwak family, ever since he has memory. In truth, he doesn't know that he was actually adopted by them and they aren't his real parents.
He grew up in Shiisung, in a family of traders, never lacking anything neither in terms of love nor wealth. He had a beautiful childhood and an as great youth.
He attended Tianlein high school and was a very brilliant student, although he was never too obsessed with study. He took himself and his life lightly and never forgot to have lots of fun in the process.
It's in Tianlein that he met his current wife, HyoLin. After being in a relationship for a few months, when he was just 15 - she is 5 years older - she turned out to be pregnant - lel, he aint's asexual for sure and has an army of children to prove it xD -.
They got married before the birth of their first son, but thanks to their very supportive families, they both could continue their studies and gradutate in Tianlein.
After that, not wanting to burden their families for much longer, both searched out for some masters to take them as apprentices and soon became an Alchemist, him, and a Potionist, her.
He works in an alchemy shop in Shiisung. He is not a famous alchemist in Xhuanghen, but he is a very valid one. Just not working somewhere in which he could come across the right people to let his work shine.
Since he grew up in a perfectly normal environment, he is a very balanced and good person, open minded and serious too. He never had any massive problems, no traumas, no complexes.
He is a happy husband, still crazy in love, and a totally proud father.
• Kwon HyoLin.
Mother. 40. Potionist.
Looks: images.app.goo.gl/7wBKUvysEPKsTAmG9 *She is taller than her husband of course.
Bio: Daughter of the prefect of the province of Shiisung, she too had a rather good and wealthy family to back her up. They weren't really rich, but never had problems with money either.
She was the very first girl to sign in in Tianlein and was one of the best students of the school, even when SuJin arrived as well.
Although a study lover, she too knew how to enjoy her life and never acted too seriously ever.
When she ended up pregnant, she didn't despair nor anything. For lower classes it's not so uncommon that couples have children even before wedding, although it's not exactly well seen by the most. For her luck though, her family didn't make any seen and neither did her husband's. SuJin took his responsabilities and the birth of their first child seemed to just strengthen their union even more.
They worked hard to not make the situation fall on the shoulders of their families and in the end, they built their little realm of balance and joy.
• Kwak SuHyo.
Firstborn. 20 years old. Student in Tianlein.
Looks: images.app.goo.gl/qZVY1rR51miXsMDt6
Of all his siblings, he is surely the one who spent the most time with their grandparents, since when he was born both his parents were still at school and then had to immediately start to work towards their future employment.
Beside that, he had nothing to complain about. His grandparents of both sides are awesome and despite some difficulties in the beginning, slight, when his parents moved to live on their own with him, things always went well for him too.
He is probably one of the most spoiled in the family, since he spent so much time with his adorable grannies! xD If he wasn't an auriold he'd be fat for sure.
He has never been a lover of study and school, but still was sent to Tianlein and is a proud member of the Order of Tiger, but also a diligent student in other fields, beside fighting and war subjects.
He often helps his father in his alchemy shop after school and they are very tied.
• Kwak SuBin.
Secondborn. 17 years old. Looking for a job to help pay her private studies.
Looks:
- before: images.app.goo.gl/EjHMM7rMDz5Vg7qf7
- after: images.app.goo.gl/XXBdxVLRbom5qWJC9
She was born male and spent her whole childhood and most part of teen ages as such, although always feeling an inner uneasiness. She didn't feel well and especially when she started to grow closer to adulthood, her discomfort turned into depression.
She has definitely been the most problematic of all her siblings, but that was due to something that not even her could understand at first. Her parents were desperate about her condition, because they couldn't figure out what the problem was and without knowing the problem, how can you possibly solve it?
Eventually, about two months before the current day, she finally had the courage to push herself to reveal what she truly felt, with all the terror and worries coming from 'coming out' as a transexual woman.
The response of her family, though, was absolutely positive and once again the parents just proved to be literally the best in the world. Not just they had absolutely no problems with that, but they also helped her with the transiction, in all the ways their means could allow, including providing her with oestrogens to make her voice and body more feminine - Yes, she has bobbies, but also all the 'jewelry' below - .
Just like her brothers, she too was attending Tianlein, but since in Xhuanghen there isn't really any kind of regulamentation about transexuality and thus there would be no way for her to at least change name, it was preferred not to let her return to school after the change. Tianlein is not exactly the most 'bully-free' environment and sending a girl who was a boy till few months before was a big danger to make her a target of the worst scum in the school.
For that reason, since the parents absolutely didn't want her to give up on studying, the options were to either send her to Heinmnehos or to pay a private teacher. Both very expensive solutions a little 'above' their league, but neither her mother nor father seemed too worried about the money they'll need.
Though, feeling too sorry at the thought of her whole family having to go through sacrifices just because of her, she decided to find herself any possible job to help pay for the private teacher - still cheaper than moving to Heinmenhos - and thus avoid to cause too much trouble to her family.
• Kwak SuLio.
Thirdborn. 15 years old. Student of Tianlein.
Looks: images.app.goo.gl/mhnbLroSccGo5pXK7
A bit of a black sheep, compared to the rest of the family, but nonetheless a very brilliant student and a rather sharp mind in general.
A bit jealous, a bit mommy-daddy-boy, sometimes a little unstable too.
Still a work in progress.
• Kwak SuYeon.
Fourthborn. 4 years old. Adorable baby.
** HyoLin is pregnant even now. xD
- Middle-class..
- Respectably wealthy.
- Moderately instructed.

They got married before the birth of their first son, but thanks to their very supportive families, they both could continue their studies and gradutate in Tianlein.
After that, not wanting to burden their families for much longer, both searched out for some masters to take them as apprentices and soon became an Alchemist, him, and a Potionist, her.
He works in an alchemy shop in Shiisung. He is not a famous alchemist in Xhuanghen, but he is a very valid one. Just not working somewhere in which he could come across the right people to let his work shine.
Since he grew up in a perfectly normal environment, he is a very balanced and good person, open minded and serious too. He never had any massive problems, no traumas, no complexes.
He is a happy husband, still crazy in love, and a totally proud father.

Looks: images.app.goo.gl/7wBKUvysEPKsTAmG9 *She is taller than her husband of course.
Bio: Daughter of the prefect of the province of Shiisung, she too had a rather good and wealthy family to back her up. They weren't really rich, but never had problems with money either.
She was the very first girl to sign in in Tianlein and was one of the best students of the school, even when SuJin arrived as well.
Although a study lover, she too knew how to enjoy her life and never acted too seriously ever.
When she ended up pregnant, she didn't despair nor anything. For lower classes it's not so uncommon that couples have children even before wedding, although it's not exactly well seen by the most. For her luck though, her family didn't make any seen and neither did her husband's. SuJin took his responsabilities and the birth of their first child seemed to just strengthen their union even more.
They worked hard to not make the situation fall on the shoulders of their families and in the end, they built their little realm of balance and joy.

Of all his siblings, he is surely the one who spent the most time with their grandparents, since when he was born both his parents were still at school and then had to immediately start to work towards their future employment.
Beside that, he had nothing to complain about. His grandparents of both sides are awesome and despite some difficulties in the beginning, slight, when his parents moved to live on their own with him, things always went well for him too.
He is probably one of the most spoiled in the family, since he spent so much time with his adorable grannies! xD If he wasn't an auriold he'd be fat for sure.
He has never been a lover of study and school, but still was sent to Tianlein and is a proud member of the Order of Tiger, but also a diligent student in other fields, beside fighting and war subjects.
He often helps his father in his alchemy shop after school and they are very tied.

She was born male and spent her whole childhood and most part of teen ages as such, although always feeling an inner uneasiness. She didn't feel well and especially when she started to grow closer to adulthood, her discomfort turned into depression.
She has definitely been the most problematic of all her siblings, but that was due to something that not even her could understand at first. Her parents were desperate about her condition, because they couldn't figure out what the problem was and without knowing the problem, how can you possibly solve it?
Eventually, about two months before the current day, she finally had the courage to push herself to reveal what she truly felt, with all the terror and worries coming from 'coming out' as a transexual woman.
The response of her family, though, was absolutely positive and once again the parents just proved to be literally the best in the world. Not just they had absolutely no problems with that, but they also helped her with the transiction, in all the ways their means could allow, including providing her with oestrogens to make her voice and body more feminine - Yes, she has bobbies, but also all the 'jewelry' below - .
Just like her brothers, she too was attending Tianlein, but since in Xhuanghen there isn't really any kind of regulamentation about transexuality and thus there would be no way for her to at least change name, it was preferred not to let her return to school after the change. Tianlein is not exactly the most 'bully-free' environment and sending a girl who was a boy till few months before was a big danger to make her a target of the worst scum in the school.
For that reason, since the parents absolutely didn't want her to give up on studying, the options were to either send her to Heinmnehos or to pay a private teacher. Both very expensive solutions a little 'above' their league, but neither her mother nor father seemed too worried about the money they'll need.
Though, feeling too sorry at the thought of her whole family having to go through sacrifices just because of her, she decided to find herself any possible job to help pay for the private teacher - still cheaper than moving to Heinmenhos - and thus avoid to cause too much trouble to her family.

A bit of a black sheep, compared to the rest of the family, but nonetheless a very brilliant student and a rather sharp mind in general.
A bit jealous, a bit mommy-daddy-boy, sometimes a little unstable too.
Still a work in progress.
