I get Ingrid settled into my home because she has nowhere else to go or live. She can’t live in the royal capital, so I just brought her here to my home. She was happy that she had a home; she was grateful to me that I rescued her from that man and I accepted her gratitude. I tell her I have training today and to be careful, “I’ll be gone for just 3 hours, Ingrid. I’ll bring home dinner when I come back, okay?” I arrive at the royal capital for more training and I have yet to perfect holy magic. Daniel teaches me and tells me that, “you have to let go of all of the bad things of your past and that’ll help you master holy magic.” I try to follow his instructions. I tell him that it is difficult because I feel like I’m letting go of the past but at the same time It’s still there just haunting me. Daniel said “I believe in you John, I mastered it and so can you.” 

A few hours later, I almost mastered holy magic. I was just about to get it but then out of nowhere A royal guard shoved the door open and informed us that the King collapsed. The guard then hastily says “Please follow me and hurry.” We rushed to where the king collapsed and we put him in his bed. Daniel asks, “What’s wrong with him?” The guard responds, saying, “Before he collapsed, He said that for some reason the seal was weakening.” I was shocked. “I thought we had five more years.” Daniel urges his father to wake up. He woke up an hour later. The king was sick and he explained to us what happened. He said he could’ve been wrong and based on how he was feeling right now, he will come back in 2 to 5 days and urges us to train a lot harder for these next few days. I will be ready to face him and I have to be. Or else everyone dies. I will be ready.
