The Tomb and the Traitor

Great pieces of stone fell around them. The Three Sages watched as Mushin's heir and the last of Hong Sokyun's disciples fled the tomb as it collapsed around them. In spite of their concerns, the disciple had put vengeance aside, sacrificing the opportunity to attain divine power for the sake of saving a life. Hong's disciple was walking the true Path of Hongmoon, and the Three Sages had successfully completed the task that the Divine Realm had given to them.

As the rubble continued to fall and fill the air with dust, Dokdan, Jakdan and Podan glanced at each other and shared uneasy smiles. They had helped guide two lost souls toward the light. Even so, they knew that deep shadows remained on the horizon, somewhere beyond the crumbling stones.
