"I am also a prisoner,"
Jhope pov.
Namjoon's words sent a shock of anguish through my body. I jolt. "Jhope, you okay?" Jimin asks, Namjoon observing us. "Yeah, I'm fine," I gulp.
"Why are we here?" Jimin asks Namjoon.
"You humans ask a lot of questions." He sighs in response, "But it must be that gem you have,"
Jimin opens his hand and the gem is there, looking exactly the same as it did in "our realm".
"What does this have to do with our arrival here?"
"Someone or something left it in the human realm for you to take it."
"It was planned?"
"Yes."
"By whom?"
"I'm not entirely sure..." Namjoon hangs his head in almost shame.
"Well, is there any way to get back?" Jimin asks
"There is one,"
"This gem should get brighter, the closer you are to a task of sorts."
"A task?"
"One that the owner of the gem has left for you to do. It's like a game, you either leave with your life or you are trapped here forever, a slave like me,"
What the hell? I send a confused and worried glance towards Jimin. "How do we play this so-called game?" I ask.
"Travel to each task that you must complete."
"What tasks are there?"
"They can involve killing powerful beings, ones stronger than mere mortals,"
"And how do you expect us to kill them?"
Namjoon goes silent and shrugs at Jimin and I. "Just follow me," he starts walking towards a "town" it is filled with disfigured beings. Dark green lumps saunter down the grey dirt path. Indistinguishable conversations fill my ears as creatures walk in my direction. I increase my pace so I dont lose Namjoon or Jimin. I knew this was a bad idea. Why are we following this stranger? How can see trust something from this realm?

"Stand up pretty boy," the shadowed man orders. Jin stands up, knees weak,
"W-What do you want from me?" He fearfully interrogates the demon.
"Nothing much, but for now you are my humble servant," the being smirks and Jin. "You just do everything I say and I won't kill you,"
Jin gulps.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
"It wasn't a request,"
The demon looks ashamed of how pathetic this human is. He thinks to himself,
"It's time to play a little game,"

Jimin pov.
We continued to follow Namjoon for what seems to be a life time, until we finally the the unknown destination.
A maze?
My hand feels like it is on fire. The gem is scolding my hand. "Ah shit," I whisper under my breath.
"Why are we here?" I ask in a serious tone.
"It's your first game,"
