'You know, there's somebody who lives down here in these ravines. She's a good friend of mine, wanna meet her?'  Jimin asked as you both strolled through the dark ravines.
'Sure! You really do know everyone around here'  You replied.
'Yeah, whenever I'm not at work or home, I just explore the town and I meet some great people'  He said, smiling.
'I guess meeting me was a real pain'  You giggled.
'What? No way! All my life I have either been stuck at my tiny house or working in a mining shaft so this is probably one of the most exciting things ever!'  He yelled, jumping up and down as he did.
You laughed at this having no clue how he was enjoying this stressful situation but you weren't gonna ruin his spirit, it was the only thing getting you through this.

'Oh, this way! She lives up here.'  Jimin said, making a turn into a narrow tunnel.
He then stopped at a door and knocked on it.
'Eudora? It's me Jimin!'  He shouted, still knocking.
Suddenly, the door opened to reveal a beautiful woman. She had long black hair tied back with a silk veil, deep green eyes and cute rosy cheeks. She wore a white t-shirt with a black bowtie, a black miniskirt and chunky black boots (which were a bit muddy).
'Hey, Jimin! Please, come in!'  She yelled with a huge smile on her face.
You both went inside into a huge lit up room. It had a bed, kitchen appliances, a small little TV, a large sofa and it even had a seperate bathroom.
'Did you build this place yourself?'  You asked.
'Sure did! It took a lot of work to make it just right'  Eudora replied, turning on her kettle. 'I have never seen you before, what's your name?'  She asked.
'Oh, my name is Y/N, and yes I don't really come from around here'  You said.
'Cool name! Well, I'm Eudora, nice to meet you!'  She said, taking and shaking your hand.

'Eudora here is also a mass believer in Laputa, aren't you?'  Jimin said.
'Oh hell yeah! Such a beautiful land, I wish to go there one day.'  Eudora replied.
'Did you know that Y/N here is actually of royal Laputian blood?'  Jimin asked.
Eudora's mouth dropped as he said that. She stayed silent for the next few seconds until a huge smile planted on her face.
'No way! That's amazing, you're so lucky! Laputa is such a gorgeous place, I never thought I would meet a real true Laputian!'  She yelled, pulling you out of the seat and hugging you.
You heard Jimin giggling but you still embraced her back.

After she placed you down, Eudora started pouring hot water into teabag mugs.
'So, how come you're here with Jimin?'  She asked, placing down hot tea on the table.
'Get ready for this, Eudora.'  Jimin said, looking at you.
You began to tell her the whole story from the very beginning just like you once told Jimin.
'Ultimately, that's why we are running away from both the pirates and the military'  You said, ending the story and sipping some tea.
'Wow, I can't believe you have to go through all that stress, I can simply only applaud you for still getting through it all'  Eudora sighed, leaning back in her seat.
You thanked her, she was honestly great. She was a kind soul and a beautiful lady, you thought that Jimin was very lucky to have a friend like her.
'It's not over yet though, we still need to figure out where to go'  Jimin said.
'Well, I won't hold you up any longer'  Eudora said, getting up from her seat.

'See you soon, Jimin! Take care of this one, alright?'  Eudora said as she hugged Jimin.
'Will do, thank you, Dora'  He replied, going outside.
Eudora suddenly grabbed you in the tightest hug ever.
'You be careful now, Y/N. Don't get yourself into any trouble'  She smiled.
'Thank you, Eudora! I will try'  You said, nervously giggling.
You both then left and continued making your way through the ravines, twisting and turning through the dark corridors.
'We should probably get some fresh air, I know an exit around here somewhere. It is pretty deep into the fields so hopefully we won't be spotted'  Jimin said.

Jimin stopped at an exit, a huge opening that showed blue skies and endless green fields.
He then poked his head outside and looked around.
'Come on, the coast is clear'  He announced.
You clambered on out after him and made your way up onto the more higher parts of the meadows, constantly on lookout for pirates or military guys.
'I need a breather'  Jimin panted, flopping down on the grass.
You sat down next to him and you both looked up into the sky.

'Look there! That cloud!'  Jimin shouted, pointing up.
The cloud was a huge thick sphere in the sky, constantly rotating around and around.
'Laputa!'  You yelled.
'I can't wait to get up there'  He said, relaxing down into the grass. 'Hey, you should come with me, you know!'
He shot up from the floor.
'It would be awesome! We both can experience Laputa together for our first times! Plus, it makes sense if you are of royal blood.'  Jimin yelled.
'I would love too!'  You replied, smiling.
You both spent the next few minutes making arrangements for Laputa and talking about how much you both wanted to go there.
Looking at Jimin who was going on and on, you knew that you could trust him. Despite the short time of you being friends, he seemed extremely trustworthy, so you decided to spill one of biggest secrets with him.

'Jimin?'  You asked
'Yeah?'  He replied.
'You know, there's something I should tell you, one of the two things is already a bit obvious but, oh well'
He looked very intrigued so you went on.
'When the crystal got passed down to me, a role came with it, making me next in line for the Laputian throne.'  You said.
Jimin smiled.
'What?! No way! Thats so cool!'  he yelled, grinning.
