"Listen to me! You are not sending our youngest boy there!" A man screamed loudly, shaking up the whole house, unaware of the current strength of his unstable power.

A colder and calmer voice replied, "How else will he learn about life that we must all coexist with? Limbo is the best place and only place for that. He's already past 80, he's no longer a child."

The man seemed to have calmed down but continued to argue with the other man. "He's still a young adult! He doesn't even know how to control his ruts around others!"

"Regardless. I'm sending him there. He needs to be there on behalf of us demons and learn about the other civilisations out there."

"But Namjoon!" The man pleaded for his child, refusing to let him go there with no knowledge of what happens there.

Namjoon paused in his tracks, black taking up all the white space in his eyes before they returned to their original state. "Soobin. Come here." There was dead silence in the room as Seokjin frowned as his youngest son appeared from behind the wall of where Namjoon stood in front of. "You heard us right?"

Soobin nodded once before sighing. "I'm just gonna go pack. There's really no point in me staying here ma. You heard ba. I need to learn and eventually explore. I'm just 83." He shrugged, expressionless and bored. True what he said but did he really have to leave and go to a place with other creatures.

Seokjin sighed, giving up. He came closer to his son and pressed the pad of his thumbs into Soobin's two sharp fang-like canines, drawing out black, black blood. Soobin stared back at his ma with a tired look, sucking softly at the tangy taste of bitter black blood. "Okay. Your ba will send you off later tonight then. I have a reaping session then." Soobin nodded, after Seokjin pulled out his thumb, already healing before making his way up into his room.

He blankly stared at his room. So cold and dark like a cave. Like he liked it. He walked around thinking about if he should take this or leave that. There were essential things he should definitely take with him; a long black transparent piece of fabric, blood supplies, books on curses and death, his experiments on human flesh. Yeah. Those things.

After a good ten minutes of packing and 35 hours of resting. Oh sorry. There's 50 hours in your average day in hell because you can't really tell time with no source of light. Just complete utter darkness everywhere. If it's one thing he has to prepare for, it's probably the amount of sunlight that will burn his eyes, which is why that black fabric from earlier will be used as a blindfold.

'See no evil,' ha...more like; 'See no light.'

"You ready, son?" Namjoon leaned against the doorframe of Soobin's room, canines of fangs peering through once a nod confirmed. Namjoon was a bit surprised by the lack of luggage but it makes it easier for the trip to Limbo then. He led Soobin out of the house into a webbed carriage before lightly chuckling. Soobin stared at him, an expression reading of 'what is it?'

"I guess I'll have to explain shit about limbo." Soobin rolled his eyes at him, his ba not minding with the 'normal' attitude before they both relaxed into the cushiony seat. Out of the window of the carriage made of bones, Soobin saw the creatures of hell staring back at them, ripping each other's skin and tugging bones and one of the vampire lords impaling a sinner on a stake before waving it around in the dark sky like a white flag. He laughed along with his dad about how fucking stupid that was because now, the vampire lord ended up being jumped on with all the blood thirsty creatures of the burning life of hell.

"Limbo, a place where all civilizations coexist and 'try' to live in harmony. Though accidents happen every now and then." Soobin snickered as Namjoon grinned, "Us demons are the first creatures selected from hell to join this newly found social experiment and you're one of the few along with your older brother and some people you've seen around the place which is why, you're gonna have to show them that we're honestly not that bad." Soobin smiled at the sarcasm leaking through every word.

"A lot of them will obviously fear you and tremble in your presence and instead of enjoying it. Try to be humble and ugh—kind. I guess you have it in you though." Soobin frowned but nonetheless remained silent. "I don't know what else to say but there are rules set up there and one of them for us is that anyone who walks into the dark woods is basically prey. So feel free to feast on one of those freaks." Soobin nodded, still lost, but he'll know sooner or later.

A lot sooner than he thought.
