The plane landed in a patch of flattened grass just outside of the forgotten lands. There was a thick wall of vines and trees around the perimeter, seemingly impossible to pass.

"What are we doing here?" Seonghwa pulled his coat closer around him. The air was beyond frigid, and Seonghwa wasn't quite developed enough as a vampire to combat it. Yeosang felt his own skin prickle from the cold, though he ignored it completely and wrapped his own largely oversized coat around Seonghwa's shoulders, making sure he was warm enough.

Yeosang used his nail to slice open his palm, gripping a large vine with his bleeding hand. "Going to see the witches and vampires? I told you this." The vines shifted to the side, allowing a passage for them to enter through. "Come with me."

Seonghwa gripped Yeosang's hand as they walked through the dense rainforest. "Don't sass me cutie pie. I just didn't see a way in."

Yeosang let out a small chuckle. "Let's hurry a little, we need to find TxT as soon as possible. Oh, wait a second." Yeosang stopped them for a moment, grabbing a rather thin, long vine and tying their right wrists together. "So you don't get lost."

"Thank you. Why do you have to find the witches quickly?"

"Because they shut their doors during the witching hour, so from twelve to four in the morning. And we have... an hour." Yeosang grumbled, doubting they'd find the coven in time.

A huge explosion of flame went off maybe a kilometre away from them.

"What the Hell was that!?" Seonghwa pulled Yeosang closer, though Yeosang only shook his head slightly.

"I see he hasn't changed... we're going there next." Yeosang continued forward, not caring that Seonghwa kept a firm hold of his arm.

"I swear I'm going to kill that- Yeosang?" A boy with pale blue-grey hair and glowing yellow eyes stopped before them. He was rather tall, with broad shoulders. His clothes consisted of a pale silver cloak and a pitch black shirt with matching pants. "It's been so long!"

"Hello to you too Soobin." Yeosang bowed respectfully to the witch, earning a bow in return. "This is Seonghwa. We were actually looking for you."

"Oh really? And it's a pleasure to meet you Seonghwa. Did you need another curse to be analysed?" Soobin led the pair of them back the way he'd come, lifting his cloak so it didn't catch on the tree roots below their feet.

Yeosang shook his head lightly. "No, I am here for Seonghwa. We need to talk to Yeonjun about speech therapy." Thankfully Soobin didn't ask further, only nodding slowly before silence stretched between them. Soobin didn't talk much, and nor did Yeosang.

"So what do witches do? What do I need for speech therapy? What happens in speech therapy? Where do you go?"

Even being mute didn't stop Seonghwa from rambling.

"Everybody, we have guests." Soobin declared a they arrived at the witch coven. It was a huge dome made of thick twigs and blooming flowers. That's why witch coven homes are usually referred to as nests. As Soobin neared the structure leaves and sticks crunched and shifted to reveal the entrance. Immediately sensing Seonghwa's worry, Yeosang sent him a reassuring smile and offered Seonghwa his hand to hold.

He had a feeling it was all going to be very overwhelming for Seonghwa that day.

Taehyun, Beomgyu and Hueningkai all appeared out of nowhere, nervous before realising who it was.

Taehyun had simmering red hair that shifted like the flames of a campfire. His eyes almost perfectly matched his hair, the colours always blending in various different shades. He wore a matching outfit to Soobin, as all witches usually did. Though Taehyun had short sleeves, various runes and spells on display. He specialised in illusion magic, using the runes to help him with what mostly looked like boring mortal 'magic'. Yet, in reality, he was able to make objects vanish and teleport surprising distances.. He was rather talented in his field, most of TxT were.
