《The Summoner》Chapter 4: The Cave of Sorrow

Lee Hyun
The following morning at dawn me and Hyun Jin arrives at the main gates.
Hyun Jin greets the three representatives with a cheerful voice while I just
lazily wave my hand while letting out a big yawn.
Dal Rin looks at us amusingly and then asks
"Lee Hyun, you sleep late? You seem to be drowsy still"
I glare at Hyun Jin who just turns his face sideways while whistling. Last
night right as I about to go to bed Hyun Jin came and knocked on my door.
Being tired, I decide to ignore him and go to sleep. After a few moments I
hear a large *BOOOOOM* and see that the door has been kicked open. Hyun Jin
walked in and interrogates me for hours about Dal Rin. He seemed very
interested as I have never shown any interest a girl before. After he seemed
satisfied from his interrogation, he declares that it is almost dawn and
that its time to head to the gate. Damn you Hyun Jin, you stole my most holy
sleep time!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyun Jin
As Lee Hyun continues to glare at me, I secretly laugh inside of my head.
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!! HAHAHAHA! Ever since he has found out I have
feelings for his little sister, Ji Hyun, he has been nagging me non-stop to
ask her out on a date. Being shy I have been waiting for the right time and
have been terrorized by him. He has even made me promise to go on a date
with Ji Hyun when we get back! Sigh....
While these thoughts are going through my head, Dai Rin begins to introduce
the other two representatives.
"The dwarf over here to my right is Hades, the commander of the dwarven
forces."
"How yall doing, I heard what you did to my little brother at the Council

yesterday."
Shit, that dwarf yesterday was his brother?!
"BWAHAHAHA no need to make that kind of face lad. I'm actually thankful for
teaching that dung a lesson in manners."
Whew, at least he didn't demand a duel or something. Dal Rin then continues
her introduction with the human on her other side.
"Then the human here is Joseph Kaizer. He is the commander of the human
forces and is called the "Unbeatable Lion" for never being defeated in a
battle"
Joseph greets me with curtesy but when he turned to Lee Hyun he seems to
become nervous and begins to stutter.
"Good...Good Morning Mr. Lee Hyun. It...it is an hon.. honor to go on a
mission with you"
Dal Rin and I curiously look at Joseph Kaizer before turning our gaze to Lee
Hyun. He just shrugs his shoulders with his arms out in answer of our
questioning face. Dal Rin has begun to put her pack on and states "Alright
Gentlemen, it is time we start to head off. We will be heading to the Dark
Forest and go to the Cave of Sorrow. Once we arrive there we will test our
heroes' strength. Even though the monsters may be a little stronger than
what we'd normally test with, since we are there to provide assistance if
needed, we should be fine~~" Joseph looks dubiously at Lee Hyun when Dal Rin
said they would provide assistance as needed to us. Hmm, it seems like I'm
going to have to have another interrogation session with Lee Hyun.
The trek through the Dark Forest wasn't that bad. I thought it'd be a creepy
place full of dangerous beasts, but we've only ran into a couple of beasts
that I took care of quickly. When we reach the entrance of the Cave of
Advertisement
Sorrow, we decide to take a break. Dal Rin then begins to explains about the
Cave of Sorrow to Lee Hyun and I.
"So the Caves of Sorrow is a caved filled within high level beasts such as
sphinxes and Terror Bats, but since the three representatives are here, I
want you all to know we won't let you guys die. Also the actual owner of
this cave is a Green Dragon named Galahad but he has holed himself within
the lower level of this cave and never comes out. We will only stay on the
top floor so we won't see him. Now are there any questions?"
"Nope", "We'll be fine" Answer the both of us. After a few more moments of
rest we all get back up and begun to walk within the cave. The first group
of beasts that we run into were six terror bats. Lee Hyun steps up front and
lazily says "I'll take care of these weaklings, so you guys just rest~" Both
Dal Rin and hades seem surprised at Lee Hyun calling terror bats weaklings,
but Joseph and I just look at the terror bats with sympathy. They won't even
know what hit them.
Lee Hyun softly calls out "Dance of the Moonlight" and becomes a blur. Hades
opens his eyes wide in surprise as Lee Hyun seems to have vanished into thin
air, and appears suddenly in the middle of the group of terror bats. The
terror bats seems startled by Lee Hyun's sudden appearance in the middle of
group. They quickly gain their focus and rush at him from all sides.
Dal Rin shouts out "Lee Hyun, get out of there its dangerous!" with a
serious voice but I just watch with a bored expression as Lee Hyun states
his next sword art.
"Moonlight Sword Form Two, Twin Crescent Moons"
Within the middle of the terror bats, the semi-circular white light appears
to create a full circle. Lee Hyun then begins to put his sword hack into his
sheath which confounded the already confused representatives when suddenly
something falls off from the terror bats. The representatives mouth drop
open wide when they see it's the terror bats' heads. Joseph begins to start
blurting out something weird.
"But... But aren't you a..."
*glare*
Lee Hyun glares at Joseph and he immediately shuts up. The rest of us looks
at this with confusion as we were curious what he was about to say but it
looks like he won't finish his sentence. Dal Rin then goes to carnage area
to study the terror bats. She notices that the cuts are so cleans that there
is hardly any blood. This surprise her greatly and looks at Lee Hyun with
shock. Curious the rest of start to walk toward them when we suddenly hear a
large sound.
*CRACK* *CRACK CRACK*
... All of us looks around confusedly before we see the cracks around the
area Lee Hyun and Dal Rin are. Lee Hyun quickly grabs Dal Rin who becomes
surprised at the action but it is too late. The floor collapses and the rest
of us watches as if in slow motion as the both of them begin to fall in the
hole.....
"LEE HYUN!!!!!!!!!!!!"
