"You humans really like asking questions dont you?" Yoongi asks sarcastically,
"Y-yes," Jin replies.
Yoongi lets out a short-lived laugh before he sips the drink that Jin prepared. "What did I make? It just looks like milk."
"Soul juice,"
Jin shivers.
"Im joking, who the hell would let a soul enter them in this realm? Idiots perhaps?"
Jin chuckles quietly, finding what Yoongi just said amusing. "You like my jokes?" Yoongi says after inspecting Jin, raising an eyebrow. The human nods.
Yoongi pov.
I like this human, I chose the right one to serve me.
...Oh, Jin is looking at me.
"What do you want mortal?"
"What would you like me to do now? You havent given me as many orders as I thought you would," Jin replies.
"Ah yes, I want you to massage my feet while I watch your little friends,"
Jin sat, legs crossed at my feet. His warm hands touch my bare feet. I watch his expression closely, his eyes close tightly as he touches me, "you're really cold, sorry,"
I just smile at him and he begins massaging my feet.
Closing my eyes, I concentrate on the humans and their guide.
-
Jimin pov.
I look around, trying to find anything out of the ordinary.
Can you count this as ordinary?
"What are we actually suppose to look for?" I ask Namjoon,
"Things to do with the second task,"
"Thats simple enough," Jhope adds.
"Lets not split up,"
We walk past stalls and stores which look exactly the same. The types of stores are the same as the ones in the human realm. Focussing on the signs, I spot a shop which looks different from the rest. Instead of the sign being in a black font, it is in a golden font which makes it stand out amongst the many shades of red and purple.
"We are going in here," I pull Jhope inside with me, Namjoon sauntering in behind us.
No one else is in this particular building, just an elderly troll. Her hair was long but thinning, raven black with gold beads scattered around her locks. A small beaded head band sits snug on her wrinkled forehead, giving her some liveliness. Murky green skin contrasts against her bright red eyes.
"Hello," she says in a raspy, yet comforting voice.
"Hello," Jhope replies.
"What brings you here young ones?"
I shuffle forward, so I am closest to her. "What is that around your neck?" Her eyes light up,
"Its an opal,"
"Where did you get this?"
"We found it,"
"May I have a closer look," the female troll holds out her chubby hand, waiting for me to place the opal.
I glance over to Namjoon for approval. He nods.
I remove the opal and place it in her hand.
-
Yoongi pov.
"What the hell?" I burst. Something is happening with my vision.
Jimin handed over the opal.
He didnt let her have it, it is still in his ownership, but this troll. Merida. She knows what this is. She is going to tell the humans, its inevitable.
All I can do is watch.
-
Jhope pov.
I watch the exchange closely. This troll knows what the opal is, I can tell she can, its displayed for everyone to see.
"Darl' do you know what this is?" She asks.
"Not really," Namjoon butts in.
"Namjoon, I know you do, but they dont, i shall tell them since you cannot."
I looked towards Jimin and we shared confused glances once more.
"Boys, I know what you truly are, and I know who brought you here. Not why, but I know who," she explains.
"Who is it?" Jimin and I ask in unison,
"Yoongi."
"Who is that?" I ask.
"He is the overlord of this realm, the high demon if you will."
"But why?"
"I dont know," she sighs, "but I know that he wants you to fulfil his wishes."
"Tasks," Jimin states.
"Yes, and you are looking for the next task right now."
I hum a response while looking at Jimin.
"Just keep searching, I believe you will find it soon," the Troll says. She hands over the opal.
"Can you fasten this for me Hobi?" Jimin asks, struggling to fasten the necklass. I walk over and tie the golden string into a knot, making sure it is secure. "Thank you," Jimin says as we leave the darkened store.
