ACT 8 Stabbing Ark to Death

Rain poured from the dark skies.With an abrupt roaring, thunder and lightning flashed among the dark clouds. While following a shadow, lightning ripped through the darkness.Black and white shadows were seen flying through the sky.

Kaaaaaaa-!

Four stingrays were flying through the heavy rain.

Sheesh, this weather is insane. Guran!

Ark shouted as he clenched the stingrays reins tightly.

It the thunder hits then a serious incident will occur. Lets fly lower between the valley.

I understand. Hiyah!

Guran twisted the reins forcefully and the stingray folded its wings and shot downwards.The rest of the stingrays followed closely through the valley. Ark could hear Buksil and Sapjil screaming from behind him.

Hieee, were falling!

Hold on tight! I-I-I-If they miss then its the end!

Kikikiki, look at those faces crumple. Its just like looking at a balloon deflating.

Dedric cackled and laughed.Yes, Ark and his companions were flying through the air on stingrays..lets try to explain how this happened.If we revert to the moment Draken stole the carriage away, Ark sent Dedric chasing after it. But after a while, Dedric returned with a tired face.

I made a mistake, Master. It is impossible to catch up with it.

This good for nothing fellow!

While Ark was berating Dedric, Guran interrupted him.

I know where the Draken is going.

You do?

Yes, the crest of the Nakujuk clan was stamped on the Drakens neck. Obviously the Nakujuk had been breeding the Draken. Then he must be going to the Hill of Despair. The Nakujuk have a base there.

Do you know the location of that place?

Of course.

Guran nodded and added.

But no matter how fast you are, itll take two full days on horseback to reach the Hill of Despair. Furthermore, there is a steep mountain that blocks the path and it is too dangerous to cross it. The Nakujuk clan arent afraid of threats because of that mountain.

Damn.

I have a way. But I have to return to the village in the valley.

So Ark returned to the valley with Guran.Beseutyu also heard that his grandson Bona had been captured by the Nakujuk.

Aaaaah, I knew it! I knew it would be like this! I shouldnt have let him go.now its all over. Ah, Bona!

Beseutyu was plucking his hair and crying when Guran said.

Please relax Teacher. Its not the time for this.

How can I calm down now? Huh? This is all because of you. You couldnt defend Bona..

Ill receive any punishment you want. But before that, dont I need to rescue Bona-nim?

You idiot! You think you can rescue Bona from the clutches of the Nakujuk?

It is possible with that person.

Guran looked at Ark with eyes overflowing in trust.

I saw his skills with my own eyes. A normal Myutal cant compare to that persons unusual martial arts ability. Hell definitely be able to rescue Bona-nim from the Hill of Despair.

After Gurans description, Beseutyu wept and grabbed Arks hands.

Oh, yes. I can only believe in you now. Please rescue my grandson.

Dont panic. Ill bring him back no matter what.

Ark nodded and the quest information window updated.

Quest has been updated.

Beseutyus Worries= Rescue Bona!

Although you have found Bona in Hagel Forest, he has been kidnapped by the Draken of the Nakujuk clan. Beseutyu is on the verge of insanity worrying about his grandson Bona. He might really go crazy. If you want to obtain information from him, you should chase after Draken and rescue Bona. But this mission wont be easy. Since the Hill of Despair is the base of the Nakujuk clan, there is no guarantee that you or your colleagues will live.
