Haechan lands on the rock platform, just in time for the anger in him to transform him from bat to human vampire. He stands up on his feet and gazes forward, into a rocky-dome-shaped lair. He can see in the center, a mysterious and ominous glowing orb of red energy, alive and churning. Occasionally, it shoots off little clouds of steam or smoke.
Haechan sneaks to one side of the arc entrance and slips inside, into a throng of dark shadows that conceal him instantly.
Immediately, his eyes land on Tae-il, who's been tied up like a pinata at a children's party. One of his hands shoots up to his mouth to cover it and he feels fury bubbling within him once again.
I can't transform though. If I do, a bat will not hold out long against a bigger dragon. Haechan keeps his spot in the shadows, looking at the distressed hostage he knows as his boyfriend-subject.
Thinking that the shadows aren't enough, he ducks behind a tall podium-like object and peers around it to see the four mythical creatures prodding and snarling at Tae-il. His Tae-il. His teeth poke into his lip, itching to sink into one of them.
"Where's your little full sun vampire boyfriend at? 'Coming to rescue you, huh?" the fox-like chick with nine-tails sneers.
"Now that you know about each of us," the hell hound barks, "It's our time to have a little fun with you before Yong-sun finishes you off."
Tae-il wriggles in place, the ropes preventing him from moving too much. "Leave me alone!"
"Oh, come on now, my friends," the deep voice of Yong-sun snarls. "I didn't order you to have any fun with him."
Haechan watches as the tall scary horned guy stalks out of the shadows opposite of him. His staff is in his hand.
"Step away from our magical moon sacrifice now," Yong-sun carries on.
The dragon guy stops before him and closes his eyes. He takes a sharp inhale and then spins toward the red glowing orb. "Ah! Mark Lee, it is rather a nuisance that you've chosen to return. I sense your presence."
The four mythical creatures grumble amongst each other.
Haechan can make out some of the words that they say, "Mark Lee?! Mark Lee is back? Did WinWin contact him? Should we be scared? Mark Lee on Jeju again, Yong-sun-ssi will surely strike him down this time."
"LET ME GO!" Tae-il screams out.
That's enough!
Haechan slaps a hand against the rocky wall and stands up straight. "WRONG! You don't sense Mark Lee. You sense Lee HAECHAN!" He walks out of the shadows and bares his teeth. "And I am a VERY pissed off vampire!"
Yong-sun whips to him, his eyes flashing brilliantly. Then a smirk comes to his mouth.
