Cordolium

Arc 2 : Chapter 3 (10)

The boys stumbled out of the portal, falling to the ground. Minho groans as he catches the others fall, safely cushioning them. Minho grits his teeth as Changbin helps him stand up.

"Seungmin," Minho mutters, looking at where the portal once was. "Should've known that the domain would still follow him," Minho whispers looking around trying to figure out where they are.

"You have a lot of explaining to do," Changbin says from where he's standing with Felix.

"What the fuck is happening? Reincarnations?" Changbin scoffs in disbelief.

Minho ignores Changbin and continues to look around. "The arena..."

Minho started walking towards the arena but something or rather someone stopped him. He looks back and sees Changbin holding his arm.

"Explain what the fuck is happening," Changbin glares at him. "You've been hiding too many secrets. We're not moving until you reveal all of it. And when I say all I mean every single one of it."

Minho stares for a bit before he starts laughing. At first it was a quiet chuckle before it started turning to a maniacal laughter, "So NOW you're doubting me?"

Minho stops laughing and glares, "So you're also prioritizing this over Chan? How funny, weren't you the one who was desperate to save Chan?"

Changbin doesn't back down and glares back, "I'm only protecting everyone in this group. For all I know your archon friend is not actually the pyro archon, or even, if he is, who's to say that he won't hurt anyone? We all know what he did in the past."

Minho growls and grabs the man by his collar, "Better watch what you're saying boy. Despite what he has done in the past, Seungmin is still my brother in all but blood. Besides, how can you say all that. You weren't there when it happened. All of you have not even been born yet and even Chan knows better."

Changbin was about to reply when Jeongin shouted, "Can you two stop fighting!" Minho silently stared at the boy before letting go of Changbin. "Where's my brother? where are we? What's our next move? We should be focusing on these things instead of fighting," Jeongin says. "And they tell me to listen to people who are older than me," Jeongin mutters under his breath.

Minho sighs, "Seungmin is probably still at where we left him. As for where we are...probably the arena. But someone must be fighting inside cause the barrier is up. As for the next move...our only way out of here should be to fight in the arena. I'm not sure, Seungmin knows the place more than I do."

Changbin scoffs but doesn't say anything. Minho started walking towards the barrier to observe.

"What the?" Minho exclaims. No one was fighting inside, but one man sat in the middle.

"Chan?"
