Chapter 12- Alliance of the Clans
Who would ever imagine that one day I will be riding a whale, sandwiched between two gorgeous demigods? What were the odds?
The wind cut through us as the Borawhale swims through midair, it is occupied carrying three of us in his back. The other two are at ease, as for me, I am tightly clutching to Jungkook's robs with fear that I might fly off. Yoongi on the other hand is enjoying the view beneath us. He coos as the snowy clouds wrap around us, gladly welcoming us with their gentle touch. Our ride isn't steered by anyone, all that has to be done was a stroke between its eyes and whisper our destination.
I am confounded yet muse that I will be encountering more of this bombshell.
It's Hwa we are talking about after all.
My hand slides under the abdomen of the male seating in front of me, while my other hand rests on his shoulder. The position kind of makes me awkward, the jet-black silky bangs brush my face as they struggle with the wing. Maybe I'm too close to him...
I promptly distract my mind by peering at the scene underneath us.
Wrong move.
It is a heck of a landscaped vista, no doubt about that. But there is a teensy bitsy problem. Only I have a great fear of heights.
I feel my head spinning, and the edges of my eyes get dark as I was about to faint. I breathe shakily trying to calm myself down. My teeth grit together.
"No need to fear Y/n, you won't fall, you won't fall.." I start counting backwards, "Ten, nine, eight, oh shit..." I mumble as I get even more dizzier. Suddenly I feel the grip of my hand loosening. The woozy feeling isn't helping me, not at all...
But then a fist caught me, balling my palms with his. Assuring my safety, Jungkook is holding me tightly. I wind my arms around his tiny waist and rest my head on his muscular back. It feels so warm and protective, also I feel something funny like this has happened before.
A sudden nostalgia hits me.
I wince my eyes and hold my breath as some scenes start playing. I am not sure what I am witnessing but it looks like I am seeing someone's memories or a vision. Nothing is clear, I can't recognize where it was, and the background is smoky and dark. A familiar sound echoed, I thought hard.
What is that sound? It's like wood clattering together.
Then I saw someone, he is an infant, a newborn baby boy cuddled under soft blankets. My fingers run through the ebony smooth hair. Pair of orbs turn to me, the tiny human wraps his small fist around my finger. A warm tear rolled down my cheek and spotted the baby's blanket. Am I crying? I am sure that all of this is just happening inside my head, but they all feel so real that those eyes look intimate, with a woosh, the boy vanishes from my vision, instead, I see a tall man standing in a distance.
"Y/n.." an unclear voice calls me. I try to walk toward the figure, but the voice from far keeps irritating me.
"Y/n, wake up" someone calls out loud, my body is moving because of a hard shake of pair of a steal-like strong arms. As I flicked an eyelid, the vision that dwells in my mind ceases to exist.
"At least she's not dead, " I faintly discern the raspy and irony-coated voice of Yoongi. I palm my forehead, squinting my eyes before resting my back against the rough surface of the tree behind me. I am laying on the dewy grass with two pair of bulgy eyes staring at me.
"What happened?" I questioned abruptly.
"We are the ones who should be asking that , you kind of passed out during the ride," Jungkook says, stretching his hand, helping me to get on my feet again.
Did I pass out?
"Passed out?" The raven-haired one nods.
"So it was only me then, only I saw that vision" I mutter myself, still addled by the thing I saw earlier. What was that all about?
"What are you mumbling?" Yoongi questions. As a reply, I shake my head sideways. "Nevermind, it's weird, really weird." And I spare a minute to look around.
"Are we there?"
"Apparently," Jungkook motioned his finger towards a big castle which stood against the rocky ground. The shimmery white staircase that is soaring up to the building that stood among the clouds took us to Kim's house. Both ways, it is patterned by crystals that dazzle the path.
It's like a fairytale come true, well naturally it seems like that.
As the three of us step to the foyer, I coo in awe, espying the imposing lion head that is the entrance to the hallway, it surely shouts out loud of the ego of the residence. I am aware of the fact that they were the most powerful clan among the five clans.
An unfamiliar figure walks in from another direction, as he sees us, he turns his heels and walks towards us. We meet him in the centre of the Great Hall.
Damn, I bet anything that he's another demigod...
A slim body with a nicely toned skin colour approach us with a grin spread on his long face. My lips parted by seeing how handsome he is. The blonde hair matched the light colour robes he wore, which also gorgeously matches his razor-sharp slanted jaws and thin eyes.
"It's almost time, everyone is here," he says in a mellow voice. And he scans me up to down twice like he's examining a weird object, in a second his plumpy lips twist to a smile.
"I see that you have brought us company, who's this pretty lady ?" He chimes I blush at his smooth talk, eyeing away to escape his gaze.
It's hot in here.
" You will know soon Jimin," Yoongi gives him a friendly push, "We have so much to focus on, " suddenly the male, Jimin's face clouds with darkness, it looks more disturbed and agitated than before with the fellow's words.
"I heard that Hoseok hyung hurt himself while fighting one of the Yoki," Jungkook enters a conversation. A worried sigh escaped from Jimin as he said, "Terrible things are happening Kook, it's getting worse day by day. Our only shot is to have faith in the prophecy" There's a grim silence between us as we quit and start walking along a corridor which is decorated with spectacular paintings.
Things happening here doesn't sound so good, even though I'm not a local, I too feel the tension that smothered the kingdom.
I am starting to get concerned about these strange people I've met.
If things are so awful as they say, what will happen to them? What will happen to this dynasty?
I am merged deep down in my thoughts that it takes me a few minutes to notice the presence of some new faces that immerged. Jungkook stands next to me as the others gather around as a circle around an oval marble table. The room has only this table as furniture, which means it's specially dedicated to handling meetings, what they call the court. I split a glance at the encountered men in the court.
It is funny how my trip to Korea ended up standing together with some seven heavenly-looking demigods in a hidden unknown kingdom, Hwa.
A heel echos the silent room, I feel tense that I kind of hedge myself behind Jungkook as the rest joins us. Regardless of their unique beauties in each other, there is no word other than perfection for their looks. All of them are dressed similarly to Jungkook, except for some small differences.
I already know Jungkook, Yoongi and Jimin. I peer with curiosity at others. A deep voice clears his voice.
" Who might this be? Is she with you Jungkook?" A tall man with snow-like white hair asks, his forehead covered with a headband that has a red ruby in the centre. I gulp in nervousness.
"She's a stranger who had invaded my area-"
"For the record, I did not freaking invade Mr Jeon, I just happened to get stuck in here, " I blurt out cutting him off. He purely ignores me and continues,
" I'm not sure if she's dangerous or not, maybe there's evil inside her, I'll let the court handle her, " the man says, not caring about the death glares I send him. I swear to god...
Dragon-shaped eyes of the tall guy land on me.
"What's your name stranger?"
"Cha Y/n," I bluntly say, still pissed off about Jungkook and him calling me wicked.
"And how did you get here?" The guy keeps interrogating me. I shake my head, " I wonder the same" he arches an eyebrow at me in surprise and wrinkles his forehead.
"Well she's a piece of work isn't she," another figure who has light pinkish hair with a handsome face butts in. He looks like a carved statue, so tall and mesmerising features add more beauty to him.
" It looks like a job for you Taehyung," the deep voice talks to the guy next to him. Him, Taehyung, I can hardly believe that people like him exist, he looks like an anime character. Those lavishing eyes could pierce someone with their dreamy gaze. Thin lips of his curve to a mischievous grin as he steps towards me.
My heart thumps loudly as he stands in front of me, slightly lowering his head towards me. My breath hitches when his long fingers caress my face. His tongue touches his lower lip as he does it.
Why do I feel like he's seducing me? I promptly shrugged off my thoughts.
"Look into my eyes," his deep and raspy voice whispers to me. When I look into them, the hair on my skin salutes, giving me goosebumps.
"You can't lie to me, look straight into me,"
Light purple pupils dig into me,
A fire inside them lights up.
How can I lie, how can I ignore, he's so tempting ...
