The Blossom: The Oharai Blade.
Only a chosen person can break the curse.
Before you begin:
The following tale is a continuation…
Lumi and Kaito got to know where Umi was, and they left the palace in search of Umi… to the Mountain of Mayoi-michi.
In yama kingdom Prince Kaze thinking a way to help Umi. At the same time, he noticed a letter falling on the ground. It was the same letter that Umi had given by grandmother Oshi.
He picked that letter and opened it. The letter started like this:
“The opening of this means the two gems came together. It occupies the young innocent’s body and is asking for their soul. It won’t leave it.
It can only be destroyed by the Oharai sword that only a chosen person has. We have to destroy the locket with the sword, and then the evil spirit will leave the person’s body.
Go find the chosen person.”
—Oshi
Kaze held his sword tightly, and a gemstone in it shined. He remembered the day when an old person gave him that sword for saving his life near an old temple and told him it’s a divine Oharai sword. The sword was the reason why it was difficult for anyone to fight against Kaze.
Kaze, holding the sword tightly, left the palace in search of Princess Umi. By the time, Umi’s skin was all dark. A red pattern formed on her skin. Her eyes turned blood-red. She kept saying,
“I’m sorry. I’m the reason behind everything! I’m responsible for all this! Now it’s in my blood!”
She kept whispering…
The evil spirit almost occupied her mind, and making a person guilty is the first thing any evil spirit would do because uncontrollable guilt means loss of control over the mind.
Kaze called Umi, and Umi got scared…her hands were trembling… She screamed,
“Don’t come near me! I will harm you. I don’t want that. Please go away!”
Kaze didn’t hesitate. He kept moving.
Umi held her sword in her hand.
she screamed,
“Don’t come near. The evil in my head has control over my body now. Go away.”
He kept moving, and he whispered slowly,

“Don’t worry, Princess. I’ll save you…”
Her hand moved and attacked Kaze with the sword. Kaze moved to the opposite side, but still the edge of the sword cut Kaze’s skin, and it started to bleed…he stepped back.
Then a voice fell on Umi’s ears.
“Umi, where are you? ” (it was lumi’s voice)
Umi got scared.
“It’s Lumi! Kaze, I beg you, take her away. Don’t let her come here. My body is controlled by evil, and it will hurt her. Take her away, please!”
And Lumi saw Umi.
She ran towards her sister, and Umi screamed, her voice trembling with fear.
“Stop there! It’s my choice. Don’t come near!”
Lumi didn’t listen. She kept moving forward.
Umi was scared. Her hands held the sword tightly. She came to know the next move of the evil spirit.
Then she started to cry for the first time in a while by seeing her own condition.
She whispered,
“I don’t want to do this… please help me!”
Lumi got tears in her eyes. She stood there without moving. Umi fell to the ground, crying so hard.
lumi closed her eyes she kept her hand on her chest,
Then Lumi hummed in melody…Remember the night when we were small
i was scared of the dark and you held my hands.
You said stay close to me and the darkness will get scared,I’m here,
I’ll always stay.
You were my light, in the darkness...my strength in the Weak days
You’re not broken, you’re not alone
Comeback home ... let us help you...
Slowly breathe with me once more like before…
Hold my hands you’re safe once more.
I’m here now… It’s okay now…
let me help...let me heal...
Open your eyes and trust me once more
Look at me...it’s still you...
my sister umi...
Umi’s anxiety decreased slowly her soul got strength and then kaito removed his flute and played a healing melody… his magical healing melody✨
Umi’s eyes slowly turned light brown again...
Kaze saw the moment and he grabbed the locket from umi’s neck, he destroyed it with his sword!, The locket broke into 2 pieces and black dense fog of evil spirit came out of the locket and finally the gem started shining again and light from it went up and touched sky and it started to rain .
Everyone were happy in tears and the scare from the umis body vanished.
She got control over her body once again
She cried heavily and Lumi rushed towards her and hugged her tightly
She softly patted her head and said it’s gonna be ok. Everything is going to be normal again,trust me.
They came back to the palace and they had shocking news that King Aka left castle many days ago and still didn’t return! no one knew where he had gone!
What happened to him where he went? the mystery continue…
