Seventeen: A Demonic Prophecy

A Storm

Boy, are you happy to see Echolysis. WinWin sits behind you, bandaging your shoulder.

Y/n-Oww.

WinWin-Damn, he bit you hard.

You send a small fire bird ahead to BLìñk.

The bird returns with a piece of parchment. You open the note.

To:Y/n.

It's a bit hard to see, sandstorm ahead. Rosé's coughing like heck. Rainęllè, Péarlgém, and Evergreęn are struggling to move. I think the sand's getting to them.

-Lisa.

Y/n-We'll have to make an emergency landing.

You send the Fire bird back.

A few minutes later. . .

Kun-My scales!

WinWin-Want some balm?

Kun-Please!

Lisa-Guys! We need to make a shelter for the night!

Vernon-I found some palm trees over here. Hyungs! Help me pick some of these leaves for the shelter.

The sand howls and you pull your cloak around your mouth to prevent the sand from pouring in.

You walk over to BlackPink who are struggling to unload their luggage from the dragons. The six beasts are restlessly pacing, several roaring into the night sky.

Jisoo-the dragons are going nuts!

Jennie-I can't blame them. The sand is really annoying.

She dusts her cloak off.

The boys have finished constructing a crude tent and you head over to them.

Wonwoo-This will have to do. Ladies you can take this one. We'll make another separate one.

Lisa-Thanks.

Rosé- Let's get settled in!

Rosé lays down two bedrolls, and lights the oil lamp. Jisoo and Jennie grab our bags and Lisa secures the camp stakes. You try to take a sip of water to flush out the sand, but it turns into a mushy clay in your mouth.

Y/n-Yuck!

Soon the BlackPink returns.

Jennie-Augh! My hair is a mess, my cloak is covered in stains, my boots are getting ripped, and I smell horrible!

Lisa-Jennie! We may die in this wasteland and you care about how you look?

Jennie-Of Course, if I might die, at least die in style.

Lisa rolls her eyes.

Rosé-wow the wind is really howling out there.

Jisoo-why in the world would you open the tent flap?

Rosé-It's too boring.

Y/n-Yeah. . .

Rosé-what's that?!

Lisa-what now?

Rosé-Over there. By that sand dune. Is that a serpent?

Jennie-move, let me see?

*a few minutes later.

Lisa-Well?

Jennie-It looks like a giant, red cobra. He's wearing some sort of golden plate on his head.

Jisoo-Is it spirit, or form of a god?

Jennie-Can't tell.

?????-Chaosssss. A ssssssstorm. Yessss!

Rosé- he's a talker.

You glance down at your necklace. It's glowing.

Lisa-Y/n?

Y/n-Guys we need to follow it.

Jennie-why?

Y/n-The serpent is Apophis.
