Devastating The Murim with My Little Sister-Chapter 144: Who Is She?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The following night, the moon shone bright, blessing the land and trees with soft grey rays.

Bathing in this light was David, sitted on the cliff above the village where he and the children used to meet before their village was destroyed.

He sat with his legs crossed in a lotus position.

His breath steady as he flowed in deep meditation.

Slowly he takes a deep breath and gently exhales as he slowly opens his eyes. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He raises up a box which contained a pill, looking at it silently.

" I miss her..." He utters as he wore a depressed look on his face.

" W...who is... this her???" A voice stammers from behind.

David slowly turns to see Hwa fidgeting nervously as if scared behind him.

He smiles as he heaves a sigh.

" Come sit with me..." David says as he pats the soft ground beside him.

As he says this her face brightens with a smile as she eases up.

She quickly walks over to David and sit beside him.

" I'm talking to all of you, come sit with me." David says as he looks towards the tree on the cliff.

The children slowly come out from behind the tree after being caught.

They slowly walk towards him and sit around him.

" Were u all that worried about me that you made Hwa come question me?" David asks softly.

" We... we didn't make her, we played a game were the loser get to be the one to..." Ae-Cha replies timidly.

" Why are you all acting so gloomy, did I look that scary yesternight?" David ask looking at each of them.

They all nod their heads in agreement which David wasn't really expecting since killing people shouldn't be something new to them.

" We've never seen you that angry before Master..." Nari says softly.

" You looked really angry and scary..." Conan says softly.

" You looked like you were in pain, but there was no wound on you.." Hwa says with a caring voice.

David couldn't helped but be touched that his children were so worried about him.

He gives off as smile as he pats Conan's head.

" So, you all want to know right?" David asks with a little smile as he looks at all of them.

" Y...Yes..." They all reply.

David smiles as he takes in a deep breath.

The wind combs through his white hair as he looks up at the moon with a sad smile.

" Have any of you heard of the term rebirth? or reincarnation?" David suddenly asks with his gaze still fixed on the moon.

The children look at him with a puzzled look.

The sudden question ringing in their heads.

' Rebirth?? Reincarnation?? '

" These two term though aren't exactly the same thing and could mean different things in different context, in a way bear too much similarities to be differed at times.

So... have any of you heard of this terms?" David asks again as he looks down from the moon to his children for a brief moment.

" Well I've heard stories of incredibly powerful martial artists being reborn after they die or being reincarnated in a different person." Conan says.

" Yes, but isn't that all just folk lore?" Nari states.

David gives of a smile at Nari's question.

" Yes...Yes it is, or rather it is supposed to be..." David says as his children look at him confused.

His gaze slowly returns back to the moon.

" You see... this two abnormal and supposedly mythical phoenominas happened to me..." David says and the look of confusion on the children faces intensifies.

They remained silent, waiting for David to explain and clear their confusion.

David's gaze shifts down again as he looks at his children.

He gives off a soft smile as he begins to speak.

" I've never told anyone this, you all would be the first to hear what I am about to tell you...

You see, I am originally not from here.

I came from a place I have no idea how far from...

I do not even know if it's a distance of space or a distance in time...

Or maybe both traveling through space and time.

I wasn't the only one who came here though, it was I and my little sister Diana...

My real name is David..."

As he says his name the children shudder for a moment.

David notices this and asks...

" Do you all know that name?"

The children nod their heads up and down in response.

David smiles.

" Are you..." Beom speaks but is stopped by Nari.

" Don't ask something stupid Beom, how can he be that David?" She says.

" But the name David is so uncommon that only one is recorded in history, at least thats what my Grand Father once said." Hoon says.

" Yh and that David was..." Hwa speaks before stopping herself by covering her mouth.

David sees this and is a bit confused.

" Why did you cover your mouth?" He asks.

" I was about to speak the name he is most known as but we were taught to never say the name." Hwa responds.

" Yes, I was once beaten by my aunty for speaking that name, it brought so much fear to people just thinking about it." Nari says holding her arms as her spine shivers.

" B...But that... that David is dead right?" Byeol states watching her words.

" That's what is said but can anyone truly kill Sangdaejong??" Ae-Cha says and just then, as the word ' Sangdaejong' comes out her mouth everyone freezes in fear as the all look at her.

She also realizes that she had just said the word and begins to panic.

The children began to carry a horrid look on their faces.

" Wh...why did you say the name???" Nari questions as she trembles in her spot.

" I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry...I'm sorry." Ae-Cha says frantically.

" We are going to die." Hoon says in fear as he and Conan pull out their swords, in anticipation of an attack.

All the children begin to get on guard even though they were incredibly scared.

David sitting there an watching this has only one thing crossing his mind...

" Was I That horrible?"...
