Prince's Spell

Reunited

Ch-39

Darkness filled the forest and Jungkook continued his path, still unaware of the danger lurking nearby. The trees cast long shadows on the ground, their leaves rustling softly in the breeze. Jungkook walked cautiously through the forest, his pace slow and deliberate. A small bag slung over one shoulder held some fresh fruits, while a sturdy stick was clutched tightly in his other hand, providing a semblance of protection against any potential threats.

Jungkook soon stumbled upon a crystal-clear river, the sound of gurgling water filling the air. Sensing fatigue setting in, he decided to pause and rest for a moment. He knelt down at the riverbank, scooping up some water to quench his thirst and splash his face, relishing the refreshing coolness against his skin.

Jungkook's attention was drawn to a small squirrel perched beside him, busily lapping at the water, tiny droplets of water clinging to its fluffy fur. A soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he spoke out loud. "You're just a little baby, aren't you? What are you doing here all alone?" Jungkook chuckled and couldn't resist reaching out to gently pat the squirrel's head.

Jungkook's heart rate skyrocketed as he heard an odd noise in the distance, prompting him to swiftly rise to his feet. His eyes followed the path of an escaping squirrel, disappearing among the trees. As he glanced back up towards the sky, a bat soared overhead, causing him to release a sigh of relief. "Ah, it was just you," he mused aloud, taking a bite out of a crispy apple and settling back against the nearby tree trunk.

Despite being in the midst of a forest teeming with potential dangers, Jungkook remained unfazed as he munched on his apple. Snakes slithered through the undergrowth, animals prowled in the shadows, yet he barely spared them a second glance. Even as rustling leaves betrayed the presence of creatures nearby, Jungkook merely continued to savor his fruity snack. Jungkook's attention was momentarily drawn to another rustling sound, as if something were moving through the long grass surrounding him. Expecting another bat or bird, he paid it no mind, continuing to casually nibble on his apple.

Without warning, a chilling realization set in as Jungkook recognized the ominous sound of approaching footsteps. His grip tightened around the hefty stick in his hand, anticipating the arrival of some wild animal or beast. However, nothing could prepare him for the chilling sight that greeted him. There, towering above him, was a demon possessing an intimidating form. Razor-sharp claws gleamed in the dim light, its red eyes gleaming with menacing intent. Horror washed over Jungkook's face as he stood frozen in fear, his heart pounding loudly in his chest.

Jungkook's heartbeat thundered in his ears as he stumbled backwards, only to stumble back into a thick branch. The demon, sensing prey, fixed its gaze firmly on him, its speed and size creating a terrifying spectacle. Jungkook's mind raced, adrenaline pumping through his body, preparing to flee. But before the demon could close the distance, an arrow whizzed through the air and struck the demon's back, stopping it in its tracks. Confused, Jungkook's eyes widened as he looked around. When his gaze finally drifted upward, he was stunned to find a boy flying, with a bow and arrow. It was Jimin.

Jimin landed gracefully beside Jungkook, his eyes scanning their surroundings. Suddenly, Jimin tensed as he spotted two more demons approaching them. Jungkook's gaze darted between Jimin and the incoming threat, a puzzled expression on his face. He wondered why Jimin hadn't immediately counter-attacked, until his gaze shifted upward again. There, he witnessed another figure soaring through the air without wings, and then unleashing lightning against the demons. Meanwhile, a third man materialized from nowhere, brandishing a sword and engaging in fierce combat against one of the demons.

Jungkook stood in awe as three more figures joined the fray, each showcasing their unique powers. The demon that had been temporarily incapacitated suddenly stirred back to consciousness, only to be confronted by the fourth man, who unleashed a wall of flames upon it.
