The journey of Yin and Yang

"So what happened?" Yang asked as they sat around a dining table with different dishes.

"Have you been told about the killings of our people by feral beasts, rascal?" Blaze picked up a round dumpling filled with hot tofu and munched on it happily.

"Yes, mum said that you traveled to the Beast Realm for an explanation from the Beast Emperor."

"Well, that was the plan but we never made it that far. We ended up in the town Eden just by the borders, before splitting up with the rest of our people."

"Why?" Yang thought it was weird to do so on foreign grounds. Wouldn't it had been better to stick together?

"Because high leveled feral beasts were attacking the inhabitants there and we decided to intervene." Magma decided to comment, since Blaze's mouth was filled with food.

"After a while, the leader of the beasts abducted a small girl and escaped with her. The two of us chased after while the rest of our party was tasked to stabilize the situation in Eden."

"Distraction tactic." Yang exclaimed and used his chopsticks to pick up some duck meat to eat.

Magma nodded and continued.

"But at that moment we couldn't just abandon the child even if we suspected that it might be the case."

"Such a f*cking mistake." Blaze chimed in.

"Don't swear in front of Yang Yang, brother-in-law." Ember said sternly as she gave him a glare.

"He's not a child anymore, sister-in-law." Blaze defended himself and rolled his eyes as he took another dumpling.

"You didn't managed to save her, uncle?" Yang interposed in order to prevent his mother and uncle from arguing further.

"We did manage to save her, but she didn't want to be saved. Or rather we should say that she was an accomplice all along."

"Accomplice?" Yang also took a dumpling and surely, it tasted heavenly.

"Yes, because when we subdued the leader and decided to bring him back with us for further investigation, the girl f*cking released him when we weren't observant and fled." Blaze realized that he swore again and casted a glance at Ember, who glared back at him.

"When we chased after them, we stumbled upon a trap created by a forbidden spell. It's called the Water Dome of Doom."

"Water Dome of Doom?" Ember was frightened but also relieved that they managed to escape.

"What's that?" Yang asked out of curiosity.

"It's like the name suggest a giant water sphere that traps the victims within it. Direct contact with its walls are deadly, since they will drain any water they find."Magma explained.

"So dangerous!" Yang now understood why his mother had been aghast.
