Puzzle Of Destiny [Jikook ABO]

✨24✨ A friend or a Foe?

As the sword slowly cooled down, Jungkook ran his fingers along the intricate details of the blade. His touch lingered a moment too long and the sharp edge nicked his skin. A single drop of blood slid down his finger and fell onto the steel. The moment the blood met the blade, a spirit materialised before them, emerging from the sword.

Startled, all of them raised their swords, pointing it towards the mysterious figure. To their surprise the figure bowed deeply before them, "please accept my gratitude, Your Highness" he said, remaining in that position, awaiting a response. Silence filled the air untill Suga broke it "Who are you?" his sword never lowering. "My name is Cheonsu" the figure replied, his tone calm and respectful "I'm not your enemy. I was imprisoned within that sword for 5 centuries, thank you for setting me free" he gave another slight bow, his eyes sincere, "and why should we trust your words, why were you trapped inside the sword?" Namjoon asked, his tone sharp and suspicious, Cheonsu's gaze remained steady as he answered "You have no reason to take my word alone, but if you doubt me, consult the scroll in your possession". He nodded toward Jungkook, his finger pointing at the paper scroll tucked inside Jungkook's pocket, "it will tell you the truth", they didn't understand what he meant, Cheonsu understood seeing the confused expression on their faces, "that paper scroll has the power to answer any and all questions except the future, you just have to think the question in your mind and open the scroll, it will provide you the answer, you came here with the help of that scroll didn't you? You must have been thinking about a way to find Prince Jimin and it showed you just that" he said confidently, they were astonished once again, 'how does he know so much, who is he?' They thought.

Jungkook took the scroll in his hand and opened it, his eyes widened in shock, "h-how?"

The other three looked at him "what is it Jungkook?" Suga questioned waiting for an explanation, before he could speak Cheonsu smiled at them softly "though the scroll answers to it's rightful owner, it's words are visible to anyone, mother Luna must have told you not to open the scroll" he said with a knowing smile "that's because it doesn't like being opened by anyone except for it's owner. But rest assured you all can read what's written inside" his gaze swept across them.
