For the rest of the day, the six travelled through the forests and lands of Wings, and only reached the Seom Sea after evening fell, with the sea roaring. When the carriage was stopped, Yoongi heaved a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we've arrived."

"What are you talking about, hyung?" Namjoon asked, his confused face mirroring the rest's. "We still have miles and miles to go before we reach Bangtan."

"Don't be a twat, Joon-ah," Yoongi said, rolling his eyes. "Doing that would take at least two whole months to reach Bangtan. We're not doing that. We're taking a shortcut instead."

"What shortcut?" Taehyung groaned, having had enough of the general's secretive behaviour.

"You'll see," Yoongi smirked, pointing at the nearest cave by the sea, a beautiful, rocky one. "That's the Haegeum Cave, as we all know. The first thing we do is get in there."

"Uh, all right?" Jimin said hesitantly, as Jungkook and Seokjin shared identical confused looks, as if wondering whether Yoongi had lost his brain cells or not.

Nevertheless, despite not knowing what was about to happen, the young men followed Yoongi in, Taehyung and Jimin unstrapping the horses from the carriage and taking them in with them, since it'd be inhumane to keep them out in the approaching sea storm.

Meanwhile Namjoon, Seokjin and Jungkook respectively carried Moni, Jjangu and Tannie, Bam following them easily with his long legs. Whatever happened, he was one of the special guests of his uncles' wedding after all, so Jungkook brought him along.

It was pitch dark in the cave, but Yoongi would not let them light a fire. Instead, he told them to hold still for a moment. For a moment, nothing happened, but then the general began to explain in the darkness.

"I guess you all know about the sea battle between a ship from Persona and another from Baepsae about seven years ago? Well, I was in the one from Persona, coming back from some work in Lights. I survived it, and drifted off to the shore of Seom Sea on a broken piece of wood after being at sea for about a week. I was too weak from the lack of food and energy, and crawled into this cave somehow."

"We were devastated when we got the news back in Persona, though," Jimin added. "We didn't know that Yoongi hyung survived."

"I did, thanks to my husband," Yoongi said, and though nobody could see anything but his silhouette, his voice was full of gratitude and love. "I suffered a lot that night, lying half-dead on the ground after I reached the coast, but Hoseok found me in the morning, and took me to his home in Hope Valley."

"But how?" Was the others' question.

"Hoseok's family were the mages from the kingdom of Arson, but later, they moved to the Hope Valley for a quieter life. But they did miss their old home and sometimes visited the kingdom, which is about twenty miles away from here. To make their journey easier and shorter, they created a shortcut in this cave."

"Where is the shortcut, hyung?" Namjoon asked with interest.

"Right here before us." Yoongi smirked. "We need to say a code word, and a boulder here will immediately move away on it's own, leading us directly to the Hope Valley. Only Hobi and I know it, and now, so will you. But it has to be a secret between us seven. You can't share it with outsiders."
