ᴊᴇᴏɴɢʏᴇᴏɴ ꜱᴀᴛ ᴀᴄʀᴏꜱꜱ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ꜱᴀɴᴀ, her mind still in disbelief. The forest of Agora Hills, where Mina resided, echoed with the haunting calls of distant owls. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, a chilling reminder of the town's forgotten past. Agora Hills, once a bustling hub, was now an abandoned ghost town, its eerie silence broken only by the rustling of leaves underfoot.
The moonlight filtered through the skeletal branches overhead, casting an ethereal glow over the dilapidated buildings. Shadows danced on the cracked pavement, adding to the town's uncanny charm. Despite its desolation, there was a comforting familiarity to Agora Hills, a sense of home that clung to the air like the morning mist.
"Sana," Jeongyeon began, her voice barely above a whisper, "I saw you...on the news. They found...they found your body." She choked on her words, her gaze never leaving Sana's face. The silence that followed was deafening.
Sana broke the silence with a soft sigh, her eyes reflecting the moon's soft glow. "Jeongyeon," she began, her voice steady and calm, "what you saw on the news...it wasn't entirely false."
Jeongyeon's eyes widened further, her heart pounding in her chest. Sana continued, "I did die, in a sense. I gave up my human life to become something...different."
She gestured around at the abandoned town, the spectral buildings bathed in moonlight. "Agora Hills is not just an abandoned town, Jeongyeon. It's a sanctuary for beings like me, creatures that exist between the veil of life and death."
Sana's revelation sent a chill down Jeongyeon's spine, her mind reeling with questions. Yet, she couldn't deny the sense of peace that radiated from Sana, a tranquility that seemed to seep into the very air of Agora Hills.
"But why?" Jeongyeon finally asked, her voice barely a whisper. "Why give up your humanity?"
Sana looked at her, her eyes filled with an ancient wisdom. "To protect," she said simply. "To protect this town, its secrets, and the creatures that call it home. And to protect you, Jeongyeon."
