When we arrived I waved goodbye to my sister taking the address she had given me. She had already paid the first three months rent and told you that if I still wanted to live there then to keep paying, if not find somewhere else. Finding my apartment it was above a vacant shop that had a for sale sign on it. Humming I just unpacked and looked around before realizing there was only one bedroom, a living room a bathroom and a kitchen. Where would Taehyung sleep, the boy who was bonded with my soul.

Deciding to get to that problem when it arrived instead I sat down and opened the grimoire deciding to reread up on the summoning I had performed that had summoned and bonded Taehyung's soul to mine.

Soul Bonding

Many think that you've binded the demon to your soul, meaning that if you die so does he and vice versa but that's where they're wrong. You didn't bind your soul to them, you've split your soul.

When performing this ritual you summon a powerful demon and bind their soul to yours in a sense, what really happens is that their soul consumes half of your soul, splitting it, leaving you with half a soul and they replace that missing half.

This is extremely dangerous as you now have half a soul, half of you. Their personality might start to rub off, if you were shy and quiet and the demon who split your soul was loud and violent, well you might attain some of those attributes.

After the soul splitting the demon bound to you will start to feel a tug in his chest when you or they are far away from each other. They'll also start to become more protective and, fond of you in a sense.

Beware, never fall in love with the demon who split your soul, as it then enables them to consume the rest of your soul and you'll be permanently bonded to them instead of the other way around. Currently you're able to control them if you find out the language they spoke before they came to be, but if they consume your entire soul you'll belong to them and they have free reign to do as they please with you.

Never fall in love with the demon who split your soul.

Reading the passage my eyes widened, so I didn't bind Taehyung to my soul, I let him consume half of my soul. Well that was, comforting. The last line was a warning in the extremely short, "Never fall in love with the demon who split your soul." I murmured to myself before shaking my head, "as if I'd fall in love with Prince Tea." I muttered rolling my eyes and closing the grimoire.

Instead of job hunting I just decided to get my new home in order, organizing things and getting new dishes out and such before realizing I hadn't seen Taehyung in awhile. "Taehyung?" I called as I wandered through the apartment, but there was no sign of him anywhere. After thoroughly checking the apartment it was confirmed that, Taehyung was gone. I didn't know where he went or why he disappeared but he was just, gone. Sighing I just shook my head and walked back to the kitchen to continue unpacking dishes.

Suddenly I was hit with a blinding light and immense pain in my skull dish crashing to the floor and shattering.

After the pain faded I blinked, a tall male was standing in front of me, on fire.

"You have some explaining to do."

And then I was gone, spinning out of control darkness around me before groaning as if I had fallen down the stairs. Rubbing my head I stood up and looked around, I wasn't in my apartment anymore that's for sure, rather in a fairly large castle. Quietly walking to a window I peeked out of it curious only to see flaming pits and pools of lava, and there was screaming.
