Capítulo 54: WE COULD NEVER MEET OUR DESTINY IF WE DID NOT SET FOOT ON THE PATH
"But our injured men, I am concerned about them," she was little hesitant to continue journey like this.
"We will slowly advance forward and will look after them as well," he himself was injured, there was cut on his shoulder but he knew there was no way to back down no second choice either so he steeled his courage, before morning, they on their way to advance forward.
They were walking between woods, Henan was lost in her thoughts of certainty and uncertainty but if she did not do it then what she was supposed to do.
None of them was aware of what was ahead of them.
The life span of twelve honey bees is consumed to produce one spoon honey, decades are necessary to establish a Kingdom, learned academic years are needed for the doctorate degree, sometimes thousands of lives are sacrificed to maintain the freedom of a country.
Fate decided to take nine years to reunite father and daughter.
Wishes are never granted unless we work on them. We could never meet our destiny if we did not set foot on the path, dreams are fulfilled only by struggle.
The ultimate guidance to drive a human toward perfection was never limited with the words but sincere actions.
They walked for two hours and saw a water source.
...…
Today a man with long unkempt hair, loose unkept robs, was wandering at the edges of Belle Forest.
His eyes were filled with curiosity, he was looking at each and every detail of his surrounding, and it was his habit to look at everything as if trying to find something important.
He rarely wander too far from hills range but today he managed to sneak in, he thought that his daughter was in this part of forest and why those ugly men stop him from coming here was because they did not want to let him meet his small daughter so whenever he found chance he would sneak in this part of forest.
Her guards stopped at water source while Henan and Wan Hu were looking at their surroundings, five assassins jumped in view suddenly.
Wan Hu dodges by moving aside while Henan dodged by crossing down the legs of assassins, she valiantly stabbed again and again without considering hit points while Wan Hu was in head-on battle now.
She accomplished to injure one assassin while two more surrounded her.
Wan Hu was also facing two, she ran in one direction though it was day dark clouds in the sky made it look like fall of evening.
Seeing the sight Wan Hu put all effort to get rid these two assassins.
Henan was running wild, suddenly she moved direction and with the aid of near tree, she jumped up and thirsted her dagger in the neck of the baffled assassin and jumped backward and began running again another direction.
Her figure was neither thick nor thin so she had enough energy to run and enough stamina to face the last assassin.
Wan Hu finished two assassins as soon as possible and run toward the direction where Henan was supposed to be.
He had no time to catch his breath, he was running madly looking around, finally he shouted "HENAN…!" and she was sitting on the chest of the last assassin, stabbing madly at his chest, seeing dead she jumped and stood against a tree with short of breath, killing was not her passion, it was necessary now, he took many moments to regain her composure but still she was standing there just she changed her position behind this big tree, not hiding only not see the dead body of assassin.
Her hands were quivering, uncontrollably.
Wan Hu saw the first dead body and started to search the surrounded area and shouting her name.
At this time, he did not want to see anything of this world but Henan.
He saw the second dead body of the assassin and fell on his knees, it seemed he had lost his strength, he screamed out loud his lungs calling Henan.
It was so loud and painful that Henan felt a dagger pierced through her heart.
The man wandering on the edges with unkempt hair heard this scream and looked that the one he was searching all these years came to life, his daughter which fell in the deep well was alive, *in reality, she never fell in the well, it was King Shang who used emotional weapon to stab General Zhong* he was in trance state for nine years because he loved his daughter very much and When King Shang related that he had thrown his daughter in the dead well he could not stand it and now this scream dragged him up from his trance.
Henan with numb footsteps came out from the tree trunk, looking at Wan Hu with uncertainty filled eyes.
She never knew what Wan Hu felt for her because he never told her and it was also that she was always possessed with one idea.
If he loved her that much, how she could pay back without the sliver of happiness in her heart.
Seeing her in front, his energies came gushed back and he ran toward her as someone run for life. He stood in front of her as to gaining his senses.
Henan lost her all strength to reach him saying, "Wan'er," he immediately supported and gripped her in his embrace, "Henan!" hearing her name again with such affection, and tears started flowing from her eyes.
****
More affectionate yet full of anxiety, the voice echoed calling her name, "HENAN!" it reached their ears and they looked around.
Wan Hu was the first to recognize the voice, "MASTER!" she looked at Wan Hu, "GENERAL ZHONG!" he voiced but did not received an answer.
