Lives Beyond Those Eyes 4 - Curiosity

Sari remained in the hospital for a week before the doctor finally declared her healthy enough. Of course, she still needed to make sure her wound didn't reopen. So she was given medications to make sure she would fully recover. It was a good thing that her work hadn't started yet so she still had time to rest, just as the doctor demanded it.

As much as she wanted to know more about the dead body she saw that day and even the incident that put her in a hospital, she had no means of knowing any of them. In fact, during her stay in the hospital, she had not met the man she saved again. But Seoha explained that the professor went to a conference outside of town and won't be back for a week.

She didn't want to feel desperate to see the man again. But for some reason, the desire kept getting stronger. To be honest, this had never happened before.

Sari busied herself with folding clothes that she still hadn't removed from the suitcase since she arrived. She placed it inside the closet and it didn't take long for her to finish. After that, however, her mind started conjuring images about the vision she saw in the professor's eyes that day.

The Seventh Moon 16 - Parting After Meeting

As much as the incident happening in front of Risa scared her a lot, she managed to turn around to see who it was. She couldn't help frowning for some reason, though. A man was standing a few feet away from them, wearing a black cloak with a hood covering half of his face.

But there was something clear about him. He was ready to kill with the way he held his sword tight.

"Who are you?" The knight in front of her asked and poised to a fighting stance.

Even with all that, Risa could only watch. It was strange that she couldn't remove her gaze away from the cloaked man. Then again, she couldn't help feeling that she could trust him.

Lives Beyond Those Eyes 3 - Four Lifetimes

Sari couldn't believe it. The stranger she saved from getting stabbed earlier was the man that kept appearing in her dreams together with a woman.

It was the thought that lingered in her mind as soon as she woke up in an unfamiliar room. Her back seared with pain. Maybe the injury she sustained was deeper than she thought it was.

"Sari! You're awake."

She turned to the source of that voice, which turned out to be Seoha. As she looked further around, she saw Sejin and Riyoung, as well.

The Seventh Moon 15 - Another Trouble

It was Risa's turn to harvest herbs and potatoes that day. Jehan remained in the house to prepare for another potion-making task that he had to do as the Master Mage ordered. She soon learned that aside from the two elements that Jehan could use, he was also a talented potion maker. It was one reason why the Master Mage decided to take the young man in as his apprentice.

"Are you sure you'll be fine on your own?"

Risa could seriously roll her eyes many times that day because of the way Jehan would ask that question over and over.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I'll be alright? I'm already 26 years old. You don't have to treat me like a child, you know."

Lives Beyond Those Eyes 2 - Rider

"Sari!"

It wasn't a shout, but it was enough to snap her out of her thoughts and make her face her friends. It startled her to see them with a worried look in their eyes.

"Sorry..." was all she could say before grabbing the coffee she ordered and having a sip.

Riyoung groaned and even scratched the back of her head. "Of all days for that murder to happen, why does it have to be now? It's making Sari even more distracted than she ever was a while back."

The Seventh Moon 14 - Explanation

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Risa shook her head with a smile when Jehan asked that with worry. The mage-in-training learned what happened because of Lady Enlari who was able to sense it using her wind powers. However, he couldn't have gotten back in time to the Master Mage's house because he was dealing with Jehan's father at the time.

It was only through the Master Mage and the Deputy Mage's interference that the matter of not disturbing Jehan anymore even if he still carried the Ellanher clan's name finally came to a close. Of course, when Risa heard that, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her friend. But upon looking at him, he looked... relieved.

"The Master Mage's dragons did their best to protect me. But those creatures tried to keep me from entering the barrier, for some reason. Both Lord Shuren and Lord Elross said that the creatures were after me."

Lives Beyond Those Eyes 1 - Return

If Yoon Sari was going to be honest, she had only known this so-called "gift" to be a curse. All her life, she had to do her best to keep her ability a secret. But she didn't mind if it was discovered in some way. She wouldn't be able to stop it from happening, anyway.

Or at least, she thought of it that way at one point.

Sari sighed as she looked around the compound where a big Greek-style building stood proudly. She knew she'd be working there next week. And yet, she still had a hard time trying to settle her thoughts.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nose before continuing to look at the campus ground. This place reminded her of what she once dreamed she could experience before her father's disappearance changed everything. But she wasn't going to blame him for what happened. For what she chose to give up for her to know the truth.

The Seventh Moon 13 - Third Prince

"Are you alright, Miss?"

But the words didn't fully register in Risa's mind yet as the shock from what had happened earlier still got her. Not to mention, the sudden arrival of another stranger in the vicinity made her unable to say anything in response. In her opinion, it was highly unusual if she was to base it on the location of that house she was residing at.

'Who is this guy? And why is he here? He looked like a noble with the way he carried himself, by the way.'

As much as she wanted to voice out those questions, her body wouldn't let her do so. It wasn't until both Qilrun and Frindall had landed and roared to call out to her that she was able to finally come to her senses.
