An ancient love story ✔️

Dark spirits realm

Jin woke up early with a sense of anxiety, anticipating the arrival of his friends. He meticulously checked that everything was in order for their visit, hoping to ensure they would enjoy their time in his realm.

The king observed his son with concern, expecting that his son's relationship with the light spirits was nothing more than mere friendship.

Upon two days of traveling, the group consisting of three Masters, two teachers, and three students finally reached the base of the high plateau. However, due to the thick fog encircling it, they couldn't see the top of the plateau. Jack, perplexed, questioned how they would ascend the plateau.

Their thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of ten dark spirits, who surrounded them. Yoongi, suspecting a trap, readied his sword to fight, but to his surprise, the dark spirits showed respect by bowing and revealed that they were sent by King Chanyeol to safely escort them to the palace. Jungkook reciprocated the bow, expressing gratitude towards the King. The dark spirits proceeded to guide each person by grabbing their shoulder, and within moments, they stood on top of the plateau.

Their eyes widened, and their mouths dropped open as they scanned their surroundings. The place was nothing like they had anticipated. The sky stretched out above them like an endless canvas of vibrant colors, ranging from deep shades of purple, blue, soft pink, and orange. The ground beneath their feet was a velvety carpet of lush, emerald green grass, soft and inviting. The trees were adorned with exotic fruits and flowers, and the air was thick with the sweet scent of jasmine and lavender.

Leila gazed in amazement at everything around her as they followed the guards. "This is truly magical," she exclaimed.

Further ahead, past the trees, flowed a wide river that glimmered with reflections of the sky above. On its banks lay sprawling meadows, adorned with wildflowers of every shade. They even caught sight of a graceful deer drinking from the cool waters. In the distance, they could see the grand and opulent structure of the majestic palace, surrounded by crystal-clear water, almost as if it had been plucked from the pages of a fairytale.

Jimin mindlessly remarked, "It's no surprise that Jin is so beautiful. Growing up in such a enchanting place, one must become beautiful." Hoseok nodded in agreement, and Yoongi rolled his eyes, refraining from smacking Jimin on the head.

As they strolled through the realm, they encountered numerous dark spirits. Some ignored them, while others stared in disbelief or even greeted them with a wave.

Less than an hour later, the guests stood before the palace, crafted from sparkling white marble and embellished with glittering jewels and intricate carvings. The eight individuals had never witnessed such an impressive structure. The walls covered with shimmering golden leaf, and the floors were made of polished marble adorned with intricate mosaics portraying mythical creatures and heroic deeds. The entrance was composed of two colossal bronze doors engraved with intricate designs.

Leila expressed her amazement, "Wow, Jin grew up in such an impressive place."

Jack chimed in, noting the possible explanation for Jin's attitude, "He probably never had to lift anything heavier than a spoon."

Namjoon interjected, putting an end to their conversation, "That's enough, you three."

As they entered the gate, the grandeur of the palace's interior left them in awe. The great hall boasted high ceilings with walls of stained glass windows that filtered sunlight into a rainbow of colors. Plush velvet sofas, crystal chandeliers, and exquisite works of art furnished the hall.

In the center of the room stood the handsome stranger giving instructions to some servants. Upon seeing the light spirits enter, he dismissed the servants and turned towards them, as if anticipating their arrival.
