Jimin, Jhope and Namjoon continue following the unstable gravel. Trying not to trip over loose rocks, Jhope looks up. His eyes are locked on a mesmerising bolt of lightening. The light radiating from the bolt illuminates the red-hued mist, leaving a silhouette.

The lightening travels across the sky instead of towards the ground, as if to say "come this way."

"Jhope," Jimin asks, gaining both Namjoon's and Jhope's attention,
"Yes?"
"Watch where you're going."
"I am!"
"No you're not," Namjoon butts in.

Jhope sighs heavily and everts his eyes from the sky, to focus on the wide dirt path.

-

"How much longer do we need to walk Namjoon?" Jhope asks,
"Its there," Namjoon points.

Jimin pov.

My eyes follow Namjoon's arm, just infront of us seems to be a town. I tilt my head and look at him as Jhope stops walking instantly. "What the hell is this?" Jhope asks, panicked.
"Its a market place,"
"A market place?"
"That's what I said isnt it?"

I gulp.

"W- wont they realise we are human?" I ask.
"Definitely, they hate humans!" Namjoon says, "they can smell your fear!"
"Shut up Namjoon!" I exclaim as I look towards a panicked Jhope.

Namjoon notices this.

"Jhope, can I be honest with you? I was just joking, but can you just listen to me," Namjoon places his hand on Jhope's shoulder.

"Yes," Jhope mumbles, kicking a crumbling block of mud.
"I have this thing that I need you both to drink, it-"
I cut him off, "we arent drinking anything weird Namjoom, we arent stupid!"
"You clearly are, I am here to help you, not to hurt you." He glares at me, "when you drink this, none of the creatures from this realm can tell you are human,"

Jhope looks towards me, "we're drinking it, it will make us safer,"

I agree and watch Namjoon pull out a deep aubergine-coloured bottle. Inside is a emerald green liquid which both Jhope and I swallow unstantly.

It didnt taste like anything.

"Come on, lets go." Namjoon signals.

-

Jhope pov.

We arrive in the middle of a crowded area. Different creatures chatter amungst themselves as they rush by.

The most common creature seems to be trolls.

"What are we doing here?" I ask,
"We need to pass here to get to your next task." Namjoon stated.
"There's more?" Jimin butts in.
Namjoon hummed a response.
