Somewhere in a dreamscape….
Hana woke up in a white room, feeling confused.
"Where am I?" she said.
She then stands up to walk around the room. On some part of the walls, there are writings in a language that she can't understand.
While looking at the writings, a female voice can suddenly be heard from behind her. "Hello there, Song Han-yue," the voice says.
She flinched at the sudden appearance of the voice and she turned around to look who it was.
When she turned around, she could see a woman with blonde hair and yellow hair dressed in an outfit that a goddess would wear.
The figure then speaks, "Sorry for startling you, my child. I will introduce myself first. I'm the Mother of Sanctuary, Seraphyne. Nice to meet you, my child."
"Mother of Sanctuary…. Seraphyne….?" Hana repeats the name. She then asks, "Why am I here and where am I?"
Seraphyne speaks up, "You're in my sanctuary, the Sanctuary of Aeihisheart. And the reason you're here is because I've chosen you to be my vessel."
"'Vessel'?" Hana repeats.
"Let me explain to you what a 'vessel' is. A vessel is when someone or something is residing in you. This can also make the vessel borrow their powers. That's basically what," Seraphyne explains the concept of vessel to Hana. "To make it short, I feel like you'll need my powers in the future so I'll be giving you my powers until you awaken and you're able to fully control my power."
Seraphyne put the tip of her index finger on her lips while thinking about something to say.
"To put it simply, when you receive my powers, you will be what people in your world call 'Irregular Hunter'," Seraphyne says.
"So you're just going to give me your power until I fully awaken and manage to control your full power?" Hana asks Seraphyne.
"Sounds about right. So? Do you want to accept it? You can decline if you don't want it, of course," Seraphyne says, telling her she can decline.
Hana thinks for a while before she speaks up, "I'll accept it. I'll make sure to use your powers for good,"
"I'm sure you will. I can tell from watching you all this time that you're a kind-hearted soul. Well then, I'll give you my powers, my child," Seraphyne says before a light flash and Hana wakes up in her room again.
Hana is a little dazed but she shrugs it off. She then goes ahead and checks the time on her phone. "It's already morning? Was that a dream? I wonder what Jae-hoon is doing right now…. I should message him."
She message Jae-hoon but it's left in sent instead of read.
"Maybe he's still sleeping. I shouldn't interrupt him," she says before closing her phone and putting her phone on the table.
She then stands up and goes to take a shower. While brushing her teeth, she suddenly had a rush of information about something in her head. "Ugh!" she groans because it's causing a headache for her. She drops her toothbrush in the sink and grabs her head trying to hold the headache. After the headache goes away, she's huffing really heavily because the headache took a toll on her.
"What was that? That sudden rush of information out of nowhere…. That hurts," she asks herself about the rush of information.
"Oh. I know now. Maybe it's information on how to use the power Seraphyne gave to me," she remembers about earlier encounters and she assumes it was information about how to use her power.
"I shouldn't worry about that for now. I'll think about it later. I should just take a shower and wait for Jae-hoon to reply to my texts," she says before finishing brushing her teeth and goes to take a shower.
After a while, she finishes up and gets into her casual clothes. She checks her phone to see if Jae-hoon replies to her texts yet or not. "He didn't reply yet. What's taking him so long? I should check my schedule for today."
She then checks her schedule before she mumbled to herself about a schedule for today, "Oh yeah. I need to tutor Seo-yeon's sister. She asked me to tutor her today. I guess I'm going now."
She put her phone on the table before changing her clothes to a more proper one. She then takes her purse to put her phone and etc. in before leaving.
