The Dark Lord of North
Last Updated:
2021-09-22 22:36:43Lord Yong and the other members of his bureau were huddled over a map at a tea stall. They all used to discuss serious matter at that place only.
They were contemplating on the matter of finding the location of the dark lord of the north — the only person who supposedly knows about the book that holds the key to break the curse.
The followers of Lord Yong tried their best to find him but all in vain.
Lord Yong had been looking for THE DARK LORD for a very long time. The man was a really renowned personality in the world of black magic, besides practicing black magic, he could even see the dead. There was one thing that made him different and more respected from others who practised black magic, he only used his powers and knowledge for helping people.
It is said that when The Dark lord was in his late 40s, a group of black magicians did something awful to the noble man out of pure jealousy. After that incident he had vanished. Nobody even from his village knew where he was.
It seemed next to impossible for Lord Yong to find him until one day the Dark Lord's disciples came in and shared his whereabouts.
“I must apologize for eavesdropping on your private conversation. But I can help you,” said the young disciple.
“Who are you and how can you help us?” Lord Yong questioned. He was dubious about the young man who suddenly appeared in front of them claiming he heard their conversation.
“I know about the Dark Lord. He is my master.” The boy replied with a dejected face.
“Alright. Tell me everything about your master." Lord Yong saw his mournful eyes and decided to believe him, as eyes never lie. The young man's eyes were expressing the concern he had for his Master.
“The Dark Lord is hidden in the Zorus Kingdom right now.” The young man answered with utter distress.
“Hidden?” Lord Yong asked.
“Yes. A group of black magicians cast a powerful spell on him. They cast a deadly spell on him. The Dark Lord is a powerful wizard so it was not possible for them to kill him with their powers. So, they cast a spell of leprosy on him, as it was done through dark arts it was impossible to cure it.” He continued to narrate the whole mishap happened with his master.
“The spell made him look horrible, the blisters and scabs popping out from his body with a pungent odour. He never wanted people of his town who loved him and respected him so much, feel pathetic towards him, therefore, he walked out of there and now lives in a dense forest where no one can find him.”
It was something beyond the bound of possibility to everyone as they had familiar with the glory of Dark Lord.
“But he is a powerful wizard, couldn't he remove the spell?,” asked Lord Yong.
“Indeed he is a powerful wizard but when a group of black magicians come together and sacrifice one of their body parts the spell becomes so strong that nobody can cure it,” the disciple explained.
When he said the sacrifice of a body part Lord Yong thought of Mi-sook as she didn't have her little finger in her left hand.
“Was Mi-sook involved in this sinister act?” asked Lord Yong.
“How do you know about that wicked shaman? She was the one who provoked the other wizards and afterwards, she killed them.”
“She wants to ruin the royal family of Noam. She even tricked our Queen and at present she is serving in the palace. Her bad deeds are the reason behind the curse. This is the reason why I have been searching for the Dark Lord for so long, only he can tell me the solution to break the curse,” Lord Yong disclosed.
“In that case you need to reach him as soon as possible. Master is on his deathbed. I had been taking care of him for so long. One day he told me to go back to my town. He said that he would always be grateful to me as I truly cared for him. I did not want to leave my master but he insisted that I go back. I left my poor master with teary eyes and a heavy heart,” said the disciple sadly.
Lord Yong decided to start their journey for Zorus the very next morning. He was silently praying to God for the wellbeing of Dark Lord as he was their last hope. If something happened to him, he wouldn't be able to save his beloved daughter. He wouldn't be able to free her child from the deadly curse.
Lord Yong and one of his followers Nyang headed to the Zorus Kingdom to see the Dark Lord, next morning. They took some essential stuff as the journey was long. It takes them four nights to finally reach the Zorus Kingdom.
On their way, Lord Yong mind was clogged with thoughts of sin committed by Mi-Sook. It was her actions that resulted in the destruction of the royal family.
Somewhere, Lord Yong was relieved that Si-ri was in asafe place and living her life in hidden. It was difficult for little Si-ri to live in that abandoned Mansion but soon she understood and became strong enough to live all alone in tha mansion. He didn't want Mi-sook to know learn the truth.
Mi-sook's suspiscion on Lord Yong's frequent visit to the dark forest made him restrained to visit Si-ri. At times, the wave of sharp pangs jolted Lord Yong's heart whenever he thought, how would Si-ri sleep lonely at night. At that time, he used to curse Mi-Sook for the pain his daughter was enduring between his silent sobbing. That time was really ardous for both Lord Yong and Si-ri. A lot of things had been changed with the passing time. Si-ri became matured and brave to handle any situation.
When the quilt of starry night covered the sky, Lord Yong decided to halt somehwere as he and Nyang both were feeling exhausted from the tiresome journey.
Next morning, they again began their journey in search of Dark Lord.

The Girl of an Old Mansion Zorus Province
The Zorus province was a part of The Kingdom of Noam, which was built amidst the windy fields of gentle grasslands and is truly a state-of-the-art sight. Its allure was matched by the backdrop of rich, luscious fields which had helped shape the city into what it was today. Zorus itself looked beautiful. With its maple wood rooftops, maple wood walls and white, sandy beaches, it had a pleasant atmosphere. The main attraction was the guard tower, which had been built fifty five years ago and designed by barbarians. It had a feeble economy, which was mainly supported by fishing, jewel crafting and leather working. But their biggest strengths are refined carpentry and rare wood production. Lord Yong and Nyang entered the province without wasting time. They asked some people for directions to the forest then headed straight towards it.

Golden rays of sunlight peeping through the window, tickled Min-ho to get up frombed. With half open eyes, the young man yawningly walked towards the washroom to continue with his morning routine. Looking around the house, anyone would say that the house was small yet beautiful. There was only one bedroom attached with a kitchen and one washroom with a big porch, more than enough for a single person. However, the thing that can make anyone’s heart flutter was, looking at this small house's garden; beautiful cherry blossoms surround it. With the blowing wind, the cherry blossom sheds its pink leaves over the roof like it’s raining blessings over the small house. Min-ho got ready and walked towards the gambling house.

Lord Yong and his disciples had finally reached Xinjiang province. The Xinjiang province was built on the banks of a large natural harbour and was truly an extraordinary sight once. Its elegance was matched by the backdrop of lush fields of grass. But the frequent sandstorms had destroyed the beauty of the province and made the fertile soil of Xinjiang sandy. The province was a desert where greenery was nowhere to be seen. The place that was once fortunate and affluent many years ago now looks miserable and hapless.

The Girl of an Old Mansion Epilogue
So, this was the tale of a cursed girl who finally earned her freedom. The journey of this prisoned girl was not easy. She never knew that lifting the curse would cost her to lose her loved ones. The story depicts the dominance and vigour of a curse. No matter how much you try to escape or seek resilience, the curse will destroy you. Just like the queen lost her beloved son as a result of her own misdeed. How can we forget Mi-sook, the nasty shaman who had authored the heart wrenching and destructive saga of pain with the pen of her vengeance. The moment the curse lifted it backfired Mi-sook. She too met with the same agony that she once had chosen for Min-shi, the poor girl. Along with the twins, Min-shi cursed her to die a painful death by the backfire of her own dark art that she always used for her banausic deeds. Nyang too stabbed her at last. Her corpse didn't even get a proper cremation, maybe her rotten carcass was destined to be the food for the cluster of dea

“Don't worry your son will be alright. You just need to give him this energy on a regular basis until he recovers completely,” Si-ri assured the poor man about his son’s health.The man thanked her for healing his son’s long-term disease and blessed Si-ri with all his heart.Si-ri stretched and stifled a yawn. “Huh, quite a busy day.” She walked towards the window to grab some fresh air. Upon opening the window, she felt the sharp coldness of the winter breeze. She inhaled the crisp, cool air. In no time, the snowflakes started pouring from the sky. Her breath became feeble against the numbing air but she rather enjoyed it, she blinked thoughtfully as the frost patiently kissed her face, captivated by the soft, dusty illusions of light that sat heavy on her eyelashes. She adored the snow, more so when it was falling and unshackled her hands to play with the snow. After a few minutes, she lifted her eyes to the sky and smiled.

Si-ri and Nyang cremated Min-ho’s body near the cherry blossom tree. Two days had passed, since she had last eaten or slept. She used to cry all day and night sitting in a corner. Nyang tried his best to placate her to gulp downthe bitter truth but she just was too numb and fragile. She was craving to meet Min-ho.She soon made a sleep potion for herself in hope that Min-ho would probably come to see her in her dream and consumed the potion. The potion worked well and Si-ri finally fell asleep. She fell asleep in this world only to awake or enter a whole new world. The World of…dreams.Si-ri’s POV“I opened my eyes to a whole new place.

Next eveningNyang came back to the shrine. He was positive that he had lost the piece of paper somewhere.“This day is going to be the last day of my life.

So that he’ll get peace,” Nyang mumbled in thought.Min-ho greeted him. Nyang noticed a little weirdness in Min-ho’s expression but in the heat of nervousness he just ignored his thoughts.The nightfall brought a welcomingcoolness yet the feeling of fear was present in all three of them. Even though the sky was glittering with the twinkling stars and the shining moon, for Si-ri it looked gloomy. She wasrestless and somewhere still battling with the negative thoughts lingering in her mind. On the other hand, Min-ho and Nyang sat outside si

Nyang became agitated when he couldn't find the torn out piece of the Devil’s book that he and Lord Yong kept secret from Si-ri. He was not concerned about losing the piece of paper; he was more concerned about Si-ri knowing the whole truth. Lord Yong never wanted Si-ri to learn about the last part of the solution to lift the curse; he knew that if she found out, she would sacrifice her life.“What are you looking for, brother?” Si-ri asked, after noticing Nyang in jittery.“Nothing special, sister.” He saw Min-ho coming. “Min-ho is here, I need to go home for some urgent work. I might come back by tomorrow,” Min-ho greeted Nyang with a smile and told him that he is certain that the boy will be cured. “That’s nice. I’m heading to the town, so you two need to be more cautious," he said beforeheading to the forest.Min-ho came closer to Si-ri. “Finally, we are alone,” Min-ho said,

Nyang and Min-ho told Si-ri the whole incident of the boy and his sufferings.“Do you have any remedy for that? Can you treat that boy?” asked Nyang.“I can treat him, I guess. I have read about astral awakening and activation in the book of the devil.”“If that boy is not treated immediately, he may undergo a lot more disastrous experience. The bright lights coming from every personis called aura, every object on the earth emits an aura and this will become a hurdle for him to see faces; he'll only be seeing bright colours of people and not their faces. Without any spiritual teacher this type of activation or building connections to other worlds can harm the person. The novice performer of preternatural knowledge can get stuck between the never-ending phenomena of phantom cognition. This will always be followed by sharp pains and almost constant headaches.

Three days laterThe palace had become aware of itself, of the misery that echoed within the walls.In the morning, sitting in front of the mirror, Ruyi looked at her insipid face. The face, which now lacked freshness, radiance and most importantly a smile. The smudged kohl had left a dark hue beneath her gloomy eyes. She stared at her reflection for a minute thinking. She now no longer had a reason to dress up well as there was no one to adore her now. It made her happy to doll up for Jian, every day. But he is gone now and so was her reason to primp and preen too.While recalling his last words, she came to know that he wrote a letter for Ruyi. She started looking for that letter and pounced up at her jewellery boxes to find the letter. Finally found a piece of paper. She opened it with her shuddering hands.ToMy Love, RuyiToday I felt like writing something for you, as day by day my condition is worsening. Even now

“I knew about his condition, brother Nyang told me about him. Yes, I am sad hearing about his death but I never felt any affection toward him as we never met. He didn't even know my existence; he was like a stranger to me. But still, it would be an arduous state for everyone in Noam, especially for his parents. Noam again became heirless. I can feel their pain, as everything they did was to give an heir to Noam and now, he is gone. It's really heart wrenching.” Si-ri said in a weak voice.Just then Si-ri saw Nyang walking towards the cave. Nyang looked tired as if he hadn't gotten any sleep since several nights. When Si-ri got the clear image of his face she became scared. His eyes were swollen and his overall appearance was inkling that something terrible had happened.Nyang stood mute in front of Si-ri looking at the ground. Si-ri’s heart was thumping fast looking at Nyang’s bizarre demeanour. She came close to him and asked him apprehensively
