Crown of Broken Promises

The Wanted Poster

The sound of crunching was all he heard as he walked down the pathway, he gripped tightly on the reins, his knuckles turning white. His head hung low as his blonde locks fell in his eyes, he'd already been neglecting a haircut for a while, it was probably long enough for him to tie some of the front pieces back. Jimin looked up at his horse as the two walked the path, Jimin didn't want to ride while in the city.

⟟ Glimmerdeep, Eidoria

Jimin hadn't been walking 20 minutes, as he arrived into the capital, Jimin walked down the main streets, they had been paved with cobblestone, and the buildings had been so ornate, though Jimin wasn't admiring the beautiful architecture of the capital. His eyes were widened, as he saw a few people on the streets asleep. Jimin was reminded of his guilt. Jimin knew he couldn't keep beating himself up over it, but he couldn't help it.

Jimin looked up, the thought that if he didn't see it, he couldn't think about it, foolish, yes. As he looked up however, he saw a wanted poster. Jimin walked over to the page on the lamp post. It read;

WANTED
Jeon Jungkook
Bounty: ₩1,000,000

On the page had a rather good drawn of the said man, There wasn't color as it was only a drawing, from what Jimin cold tell, the man had dark hair, it was shaggy, and long, a little bit longer than chin length, he had double eyelids, but from the limited detail from the picture they looked maybe brown or black. Another detail he could pick out was that the man had a lip ring, and an eyebrow piercing.

Jimin recalled hearing the name Jeon Jungkook, Yoongi had mentioned him in conversation once.

Jimin was looking at his sword handle, sweat brimming on his forehead as he sat on the bench within the palace walls. "You must have such interesting experiences outside of Glimmerdeep." Jimin said, trying to make small talk with the Lieutenant.

"You could say that." Yooongi said cleaning his blade with a wet rag.

Jimin looked up at the man, admiring his ashy blonde hair longer than he should've, "Any of note?" Jimin asked, staring at the man in anticipation.

Yoongi just gave Jimin a sweet look, "Curious, are we?" He teased, which caused a soft blush to reach Jimin's cheeks. "There's a pretty scary gang of bandits that love to rob unexpected travellers around the smaller villages of Eidoria. Their leader, Jeon Jungkook, and I actually met once."

Jimin nodded following along.

Yoongi continued, "He ambushed me once when I was scouting. Tried to steal my shit. I fought back, the fucker got me though, cut my arm. I got out though with all of my things too, I still don't know how I managed it. But I suppose I was lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it. He wasn't with his caravan, but I was also alone." Yoongi pulled up his dark sleeve and showed Jimin the scar. Jimin's parents normally didn't approve of crude language being used around him, but when it was just them, Jimin wouldn't condemn Yoongi.

Jimin looked at his arm, a mixture of shock and surprise at the mark, "that's so crazy. So, he got away?"

Yoongi nodded, "Unfortunately, I had lost so much blood, I wasn't in any position to fight. He was gone. And I couldn't track him."

Jimin looked up from his map, the sight of a small village and the sun setting in the distance. It was likely best for him to rest up for the night, as Jimin got closer to the village, he got off his horse and held him by the reins, "I suppose I didn't ask your name." Jimin said, petting his mane. "I should come up with one then." He mumbled and saw people, this was good, this likely means that the sleeping curse only affected Glimmerdeep, at least as far as he knew.
