IT'S BANGCHAN'S BIRTHDAYYYYYY [not in Korea anyway
GIVE THIS CHAPTER A LIL STAR IF YOU WANNA MEET BANGCHAN!!!~~
On to the story:
Tsukiko was surprised to hear this. She had always been taught by her mother and father that the Five Major Clans had always existed in peace and loved each other as they loved their own people. But it seemed that was not the case.
"But...why?", she asked.
Miyuki seemed to have understood something and looked at Jae-sung. He saw this and stood up, carrying his book.
"I have something to show you, both of you", he said as he started walking towards the staircase. Tsukiko and Miyuki followed closely behind him.
Upon reaching the second floor, there was a seemingly normal, rich family hallway which had a family portrait consisting of Jae-sung, his mom and his dad, the current leader of the Aoiro Hikari clan. He looked just like Jae-sung only that instead of both his eyes being black, one of them was blue.
Tsukiko stared dazedly at the blue eye before being brought back by the sound of moving stone. Jae-sung had somehow triggered a mechanism that opened up a rectangularly shaped opening in the wall. It was a secret passage!
Jae-sung urged them in and closed the opening behind them, submerging them in darkness. However, almost immediately after this, rows upon rows of lamps sparked into blue flames, instantly dispersing the darkness.
They continued down a long flight of stairs before reaching a stone wall. This time. Jae-sung tapped on of the bricks and a device with a camera came out. It scanned Jae-sung's eye and with a ding, it turned green and opened the wall.
Jae-sung stepped inside first and once again urged the two girls to come in which they did. Once inside, Tsukiko couldn't help but gasp at the room she had just entered that seemed like a whole new world. She spotted rows and rows of books that seemed to go on forever. The smell of paper and history filled the entire area. In the middle of it all, was a large blazing blue flame kept in something that resembled a cauldron. Strangely enough, the presence of the fire didn't exactly make the room warmer, instead it felt somewhat cooler.
Miyuki was also in awe of it all, more so than Tsukiko.
"So, this is the great Aoira Hikari family library; Aoi Seiiki", she said.
Jae-sung replied, "Yes, that's right. Years and years of the Five Major Clan's history is kept here and taken care of by the older members of this house."
With that, Jae-sung removed a book from one of the shelves and placed it on a nearby table. On the cover were the emblems of the Five Major Clans: blue fire, cold moon, black swamp, drifting clouds and twisted dreams. It also had written on it; "The Five Friends"
Tsukiko was confused by this.
"Five friends? The Elders...were friends?", she thought. Never had she ever heard of The Five Elders being friends but as she thought about it, Tsukiko started to think that it made sense.
Tsukiko grew more intrigued by the book and looked at Jae-sung, waiting for him to explain what it entailed.
With that, Jae-sung carefully opened the first page of the book and began narrating its contents.
"In a land were apparitions and demons roam free, magic seeping out from every corner, there were five human friends: Aoira Hikari, Tsumetai Tsuki, Kuroi Numa, Hyoryu Kuma and Yuganda Yume. They had been raised together and grew up to love one another dearly", he stopped.
