Despite their best efforts, Joong and Pond couldn't locate the elusive monster, forcing them to retreat to their clan empty-handed. Back in the safety of their celestial realm, Joong couldn't shake the memory of the mortal he had encountered in the forest. After much contemplation, he decided to lead a small troop back to the forest the next day to continue the search.
The next day, preparations were made, and the troops were divided into groups to cover different areas of the forest. Joong took one side, while Pond took the other. Determined to find the monster and ensure the safety of the mortal realm, they moved swiftly through the dense woods.
As Joong ventured deeper into the forest, he stumbled upon a charming cottage nestled amidst a sea of vibrant flowers and a well-tended garden. The sight of such beauty and tranquility in the heart of a dangerous forest took him by surprise, and he froze, captivated by the scene.
At that moment, the cottage door creaked open, and a mortal being stepped out, carrying a small watering can. Instinctively, Joong cast an invisible barrier around himself to avoid being seen by the mortal. He watched as the mortal moved gracefully, watering the plants with care and attention.
The mortal then gently set down the watering can and brought out the small rabbit he had rescued. With a tender smile, he released the rabbit, allowing it to hop freely around the garden. Joong was mesmerized by the mortal's kindness and the evident bond he shared with the animals.
As he observed from his hidden vantage point, Joong felt a deep sense of admiration and longing. The mortal's beauty and gentle nature stirred something within him, a connection he couldn't explain. Despite the dangers of the forest and the mission at hand, Joong found himself drawn to the mortal, unable to look away.
Joong's thoughts were interrupted by the faint sound of rustling leaves. He realized he needed to refocus on his mission, but the image of the mortal lingered in his mind. With a final glance at the peaceful cottage, Joong turned and continued his search for the monster, determined to protect this serene haven and its gentle inhabitant.
As Joong moved through the forest, he couldn't help but wonder about the mortal who had captured his attention so completely.
