On those merciless heights of the mountains, a week had now passed for Albim being trapped in the rock. All around there was only the noise of icy winds and there was no way for Albim to escape from here. And therefore, in these passed days, he Prayed to the 'God of Wind', 'Aetherion'.
Albim believed in the God of Wind and therefore there was so much pain and a true call in his prayer, which attracted even the God of Wind toward itself. Seeing such devotion of a mortal human, the God of Wind 'Aetherion' sent a Messenger to Angel Yun. That messenger had this simple Order of his that Angel Yun should set Albim free, because there is a lot of responsibility upon him and he cannot waste any more time.
But Angel Yun, blinded by the intoxication of power and love, directly cut the order of the Wind God. She kept her stubbornness even above the law of the gods and she said, she will not set Albim free until Albim becomes ready to stay here with her forever. Hearing this audacity of an ordinary angel, the Wind God 'Aetherion' became angry. And he gave one day's time to Angel Yun. This was the last warning that if Angel Yun did not set Albim free in the given time, then its consequence would be very bad.
Hearing this, Angel Yun certainly became a little scared, the dread of that superpower was born in her mind, but time passed and she did not set Albim free. Stubbornness had put a veil over the intellect,
The consequence of which was that... the sky suddenly turned black, the winds which until now were calm,
Now had taken the Form of a quite large storm, which was uprooting everything from the trees of that mountain to the rocks. The wind was so fast that everything was being destroyed, due to which Angel Yun herself had to come forward to face that storm. With the help of her powers, she tried to stop the Destruction being caused by the storm, in which she was also successful to some extent.
But she was applying her full strength just then the trunk of a tree moved toward her while flying and went across her from its pointed side. But the trunk of a normal tree could not at all injure an angel, meaning that this meant that this attack had been done by the Wind God himself. Due to the strength of the God, the pressure of that attack was so much that it blew Angel Yun away to a distance due to which she, while flying, falls directly in front of Albim.
Her condition now was very bad, that tree trunk was still stuck in her stomach, blood was coming out from her stomach and mouth, which was giving evidence of her defeat. But in this destruction, one good thing happened for Albim. From the effect of the storm, that rock also had shifted in which Albim's leg was trapped. Now everything had flipped; Albim was now free and he was now standing in front of Angel Yun.
Where the wind even now was trembling from the anger of the 'Wind God', Angel Yun had fully accepted her defeat. She had realized this that before the willpower of a mortal and the intervention of the god, there remains no existence of her stubbornness now. She slowly stood up at her place, and without losing that supernatural beauty of hers, and without bringing any expression on her face, with a jerk pulled out that tree trunk stuck in her stomach.
In that icy light, that hole made in her stomach could be seen clearly, which was looking terrifying like some deep wound. But now blood had stopped coming out from it. Like a high-category existence, perhaps Angel Yun was now able to Heal herself from this injury. In her eyes now was not that earlier passion, but rather a void.
Then she looked toward Albim, but without speaking a single word from her lips, she handed over that tree trunk to Albim. As soon as Albim's hands touched that rough wood, he experienced a cold and fast energy. Albim had come to know that in this trunk is the Blessing of the Wind God; this now was not merely a piece of wood, but had become a 'special item'.
He caught that trunk with both his hands and by doing Prayer, thanked the Wind God for helping him. His voice resonated in that mountain silence. After which he made that trunk the companion of his journey and resting it on the ground like a stick, set out further on his journey taking it.
In the mist of the mountain, Albim's figure began to slowly vanish,
And leaving the icy winds of the mountains behind, Albim now had come quite far from the Yun Mountain Range. In his hand now was that divine wood which he now had even given a name— 'Mediator'. And rather he had kept such a name because according to Albim this trunk is directly connected to the Wind God and it can reach his prayers to the Wind God. This wood now had become a medium between him and the deity.
While walking, Albim had reached a small village, from where he gets a little more information of the path ahead. After which Albim again sets out further on his journey. The path now was increasing toward desolate forests, where Albim sees an old man sitting under a tree ahead in the journey. In the wrinkles of his face was worry and he had his head bowed.
Seeing which Albim goes near that old man and asks about his trouble. That old man looks toward Albim with his tired eyes and asks that, "This young person, after all who are you?"
On Albim's face was the self-confidence of a king and the humility of a warrior. Albim gives his introduction to that old man, he says, "My name is Albim and I am the king of the 'Ryzen Kingdom'."
And when this talk becomes known to that old man that Albim is a king and a warrior, then knowing this he says, "Oh! So you are a king? Then you perhaps will be able to help me."
Hearing this Albim is surprised that after all what is such help which only a king can do? For a moment Albim felt perhaps this old man would want help of money, but that old man tells Albim about a danger coming ahead.
His voice began to tremble when he says that ahead in this same path a 'Naga' is sitting having fixed its abode, due to which passing through this path has now become impossible. Expressing his helplessness while further telling his trouble he says that his house also goes through this same path, but he cannot pass through this path because the Naga can kill him on the way. The old man knew that Albim is a powerful warrior, so he can help him in going from here.
But Albim dived into deep thought. Albim hears his full talk and he thinks that he has heard about 'Nagas'— Nagas' upper body is of humans and the body below the waist is of a snake. But Albim had never seen them, due to which he did not know this that how he can defeat them and he also did not have an estimate of how powerful it would be.
But now he too had to go passing through this same path, therefore he decides that he will take this old man also along with him. And he tells this talk to that old man also that he is ready to take him.
And hearing this talk that old man becomes quite happy and he says that if Albim makes him cross safely from here, then he right at this moment will give all his capital to Albim. Albim just tightened his grip on 'Mediator' and increased his steps toward the danger. He did not have the greed for wealth, but to protect people was the duty of a king, no matter of which country he might be.
