CURSED LOVE

WITCH'S LAIR

Hue of different shades of grey covered the whole sky. Dark abyss making every being's bones tremble as they step inside the viny Fotress. Moon full on its peak, shone upon silvery waves of ocean. Dead of night made every small step echo across the barren land. Jeonghan trembles at the heavy feeling in surrounding. "Damn what's with the cold atmosphere?" He whispers. "We're in a witch's lair. That's to be expected." Joshua whispers back.

Jeonghan looks around himself, walking at a steady pace. He stares at his right where the vast forest covered the biggest part of abandoned land. Snarly voices filled the air, making it more chill. Jeonghan shudders. "I hate this place." He mutters under his breath, right hand tightly holding his sword, where it was sheathed on his hip. While left hand was placed on Joshua's scaly skin. "Trust me. Same here." Joshua mumbles. Looking to his left, he finds a castle, hidden behind vines and bushes. Blood stained walls, and dead meat smell wafting all around it. Jeonghan covers his nose. "It smells bad." ...."well, she's killed many people you know."

They both walk with soundless steps. Taking the left, and making their way to the castle. Jeonghan frowns, it was odd. No one was here. No lackeys, no servants. Just an abandoned castle. Broken walls, with ripped earth. "What's this? Why isn't anybody here?" He turns towards Joshua. "When the witch attacked our palace. She had an army. Now no one is here." He questions. "Don't you know? She kills her every server she deems useless. And looks like we arrived in right time. Now we only have to kill the witch. And no one else." Jeonghan nods. But something didn't settled with him.

Maybe he was just overthinking it. They both quitely made their way to the obnoxious castle. Cold on feet, Jeonghan whimpered. "What the Fuck? it's cold." He says, not evening trying to hide their presence. "You know what. Now a days I'm starting to doubt your authenticity of being a prince. You use too much foul language to be one." Joshua replies instead. "You really have to insult me like that?" Jeonghan answers. He wonders why the hell is he so clam, when they could be walking into death's mouth anytime. "Yeah." Joshua sasses.

Jeonghan huffs under his breath and they both enter a room or should I say hall? It looked eerily similar to that of a throne room. If the throne in the middle of room itself wasn't a give away. "My my my~ who do we have here? Graceful Highness Prince Yoon Jeonghan." High pitched voice snarls. Unpleasantly loud. Jeonghan averts his gaze towards the direction of voice. A tall lithe figure, claded in black cloak from top to bottom was standing beside the throne. Dark black painted nails grinding the edge of chair, red luscious lips glinting in moonlight coming from the corners of broken ceiling made Jeonghan take a step back in fear. Feeling cold sweat gathering on his forehead he takes a deep breath. Calming his nerves down he focuses on the lady once again.

"Are you the witch?" He asks the obvious. And Joshua stares at him as if he has asked the dumbest question ever. But honestly he did. It was so fucking obvious that the Lady standing Infront of them, cladded in all black with red bright lips is the witch they have come to kill. "Hahaha. Oh my! You're so cute, asking me like that." She laughs. Jeonghan rolls his eyes. Hands instinctly going towards the hilt of his sword. "Going back to start. It seems like you know me. And if you do. Then you know why I'm here." Witch hums in response as she stands Infront of her throne. She stares at him for a while then sits on the chair. Legs tangling with each other she puts her hands on both armrest as she looks over at them in amusement.

"Try it." She says. As soon as her words roll out of her mouth. The place started to crumble. Ceiling falling down, floor rifting apart. Jeonghan stumbles but soon wides his eyes. Catching the sight of ugly creatures, some with four arms, some with two mouths and others coming out of the ground Jeonghan backs up. He stands beside Joshua and immediately informs the Dragon. "Joshua, there are creatures coming out of ground." Joshua also wides his eyes seeing the big and monstrous creatures charging towards them.

He immediately pushes Jeonghan back and stands Infront of him. Inhaling he breathes fire, burning up the creatures. It seemed no end to them, as they kept on coming back up. "Jeonghan, we can't defeat them unless witch dies. I will create the path for you. So please go and kill her before one of us gets hurt." ...."but Joshua you?" ....."don't worry about me. I can hold them down. Now go." Jeonghan stares at white scales for a while then slowly backs up. He turns around, entering the hallway attached to the throne room. He runs towards the throne, but stops when a creature stands Infront of him.

Jeonghan unsheathes his sword and attacks the creature. The creature regenerates quickly, leaving dirty prince shocked. Jeonghan once again strikes it, this time beheading it, but to hi dismay the creature once again regenerates itself. Before he could give it another blow, a big wave of fire burns the creature away. Jeonghan's eyes catches Joshua's and the dragon nods. Jeonghan smiles, thanking him internally as he makes his way to the throne.

The witch watches, amused, from her throne. Eyes rolling with Every blow of fire. "What an idiot. He knows they won't die until I do. Nothing can stop them. He will only die." She muses to herself. "Not really, if I kill you first." Before the witch could take any action, Jeonghan jumps from the back of throne and beheads her off, along the upper part of throne. Loud clang of metal throne hitting the ground fills the place as creatures starts to turn into dust. Joshua looks at the throne and smiles upon seeing the coal cladded prince. Jeonghan smiles. "I did it." He whispers. Eyes getting heavy he losses his consciousness. But before he could hit the ground Joshua flies towards him and holds him with his feathers.

"You did a great job." He says, eyes watering when he sees a big gash on blonde prince abdomen. 'he did got hurt in that fight. Should've come sooner.'  Joshua thinks to himself and hosts the unconscious man on his back. Flying out of the castle, he makes his way to prince's kingdom. Finally the long journey of Prince Jeonghan came to an end. Now all that Left's is for Joshua to find his only one.
