THE MISSING VISION

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the quiet field. A-yeon stepped back, breathing unevenly, her grip tightening around the dagger in her hand. "Again," Yu-jin said coldly. "I just did—!" "Again." She flinched but rushed forward anyway. Their blades met. Sparks flew. A-yeon's movements were fast… but not enough. Yu-jin knocked her weapon aside in one clean motion. She stumbled but stopped herself from falling. "…You hesitated," he said. "I saw something…" A-yeon whispered, gripping her head slightly. Gun-woo, watching from the side, narrowed his eyes. "…A vision again?" A-yeon nodded slowly. "It was… this place… but different…" Silence fell. Yu-jin lowered his sword slightly, his gaze sharp. "…Then don't trust it." A-yeon looked up. "If you rely on something incomplete… it will get you killed." Gun-woo stepped forward, voice gentler. "Don't force yourself. Your body hasn't caught up to what your mind is seeing yet." A-yeon exhaled shakily. "…I have to get stronger." Yu-jin turned away. "…Then stop doubting your next step." Gun-woo smiled faintly. "Looks like someone's being harsh again." A-yeon looked between them… then tightened her grip on her dagger. "…Again." This time she moved first. To be CONTINUED...
