Fear is a virus that can infect, weaken, not only fairies, but also entire dream worlds. It's a virus that takes away your voice... a demon that wraps itself around your neck like a lasso over a gallows and darkens your vision like grinning death it...
I glanced at Hyuka, who was still worriedly biting his lip while watching Beomgyu's receding silhouette, then I stood up and put my hand on his shoulder to cheer him up.
"You did your best. He was scared... Don't let that behavior hurt you too much..."
The blond head nodded lightly and Kai got to his feet as well.
"Are we going to find him?"
"Yeah... come."
We went back into the forest, this time even deeper to find the place, where the unconscious fairy lay.
Heeseung was still sleeping there with his wrists tied. After quick checking up his breath, aura and irises, I untied them.
"It's gone, he's safe...," I announced the verdict, before picking him up on my back.
"Shall I take him over?" Hyuka offered, while I was already walking back down the forest.
"You're still tired... and I'll need you to carry him across town. We can't bring him back home in this condition..."
Kai took a deep breath, breathing out slow: "I see." Then he turned his palms upwards to charge his magical powers through the sunlight. It was always more effective for him to recharge under the starry sky, but that wasn't possible tonight, since he was taking care of Soobin... enlightening him with his love.
When we reached the town, Huening Kai took over Heeseung in his arms and we activated our magic.
"Just make sure you both stay invisible. I'll camouflage the sounds and cover you if necessary."
"Rely on me," Hyuka assured me with a faint kind smile, before the picture of him and Heeseung waved under the sun rays, breaking due to his manipulation, until they became invisible.
Nobody could possibly see them, besides my open third eye able to see energies... but it remained close now. I was aware that we were both pretty wrung out, but our house wasn't that far away. We should be able to do it without any problems - that's what I thought focused and walking faster in front of Kai... but then suddenly one complication jumped straight into my way.
I reflexively raised my palms to stop my boyfriend.
Damn it, we didn't count on this energetic bolt...
Not now, Hiyyih... I heard Kai pleading from behind.
"Ohh! Did I scare you? I'm sorry~" Kai's younger sister Bahiyyih quickly bowed to me, noticing my surprised stare.
I barely opened my mouth.
"Didn't you hear a kitty crying? It was pretty loud... it seems to be lost," she brought up the reason why she attacked me. I could feel she's quite upset about the animal.
"Lost kitty?"
"I know, right? I've never ever seen any lost one here... each of them have their owners and safe home. That's why I'm so worried," Hiyyih pouted, looking around.
"Are you sure it wasn't just someone imitating the sound?" the weird joke slide of my mouth just like that.
Bahiyyih rolled her eyes sighing and I felt Kai kicking my heel.
"I'm sorry," I chuckled nervously.
"Whatever, I just thought you can hear things better as a mind fairy of cosmic voice," she said, playing with my status a little bit annoyingly.
"It doesn't really work that way," I smiled shyly and started to explain automatically, "it's more like I can see or read what the others ca-"
"Shush! No more words needed, Magician."
Another person appeared in front of me in the flash. Hikaru winked at me with a playful smile, sparkles falling from her finger put on my lips. Then she hung herself on her higher girlfriend's shoulder.
"Anyway... it's not just the kitty. It seems like we're still missing something since yesterday," Bahiyyih sighed.
"Yeah~ First it was just ordinary things like a toothbrush, but today I couldn't even remember where I put our fairy dust. It's making me crazy! Like- how can I lose such a thing?!"
Oh no...
"I know really~" Bahiyyih pouted again hugging Hikaru's arm.
"Yeah... I really wanted to sprinkle your wings this morning, Charmy..."
They began to sadly admire their fairy gems-alike wings, which were losing their beautiful glow and ability to fly.
Till then I watched them waiting for the right moment, but as soon as they looked in each other's eyes, I temporarily froze their minds in those thoughts and worries among themselves.
I sighed in a relief and came even closer to the frozen couple.
"You didn't meet me today," I suggested to them in a cool tone. I didn't want to do such a thing, but there was no time to spare.
"Let's go...," I whispered to Huening Kai and stepped forward. We couldn't linger, as he was still carrying the other body.
"Will they be okay?" He was understandably worried about his younger sister and her girlfriend.
"Sure, they are practically just enchanted by each other..."
"... but if the fairy dust is gone...," I hesitated... tried to avoid the fear biting my stomach. I have to stand it.
There was a short silence between us filled with sounds of my steps and shallow breathing.
"We are losing them as well, am I right?" Kai asked softly.
Even our beloved families...
I clenched my fists. I believed the prophecies were hiding something important besides the greedy fire, but the spirit stole everything that could help us find the right solution.
There must have been a reason, why the universe showed us what's happening... we had the chance to reverse it before we found ourselves in this chaos of emotions.
Our dimension was already falling apart even before Yeonjun disappeared, but everything began to vanish faster since that night when the star fire was taken away.
"We just need to hurry up and find him, Hyuka."
We'll find Yeonjun, fix our world and everything's gonna be alright...
I tried to stick to that affirmation.
