It was the night of the eclipse and my brother Jisung and I were playing Minecraft. Today has been rough, Jisung might of had failed his exam in chemistry class. But me, I almost got fired from the museum because I was about to throw hands with a patron. she was really all up in my grill trying to correct my history! So it was one of those nights where we play video games and sulk. We were also eating chicken and drinking alcohol but thats not the point.

"Are you on Creative because how the fuck did you find diamonds already!?" He yelled.

"I'm just lucky." I said going into my settings and changing it to survival.

We played until three in the morning. Which will make me more miserable tomorrow since I still have to work early. I got a solid three hours of sleep and woke up Jisung to get to his university. I ended up being switched to inventory instead of tours. But I really need to keep this job to pay the bills. My archeological dreams ruined, my passion for history diminished!

I walked through the storage of artifacts from art, items, and display models. We were soon gonna have a exhibition on old kingdoms so I was in charge of procuring the items. This job is really making me work the extra mile. I am going to be so buff from carrying all this stuff. I had to make sure if the last artifact is ready to hang up. I began to search for it with out no luck. I go out of the back and go to the person in charge of this new exhibit.

"I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you transported the art for the new exhibit?" I asked a curator.

"Someone already put it up. It is the only one hanging up on the wall over there." The Person replied.

I check it off the list and take a closer look. Man I could not believe I am that dense not to look here first. Then I could hear footsteps next to me.

"These are wonderful pieces." The person said next to me.

"Yes they are." I agreed.

"They say that the art comes to life during the eclipse." The person replied.

"Oh well thank goodness it's the day after right? Are you the new curator?" I said to turn to face them.

"Indeed. Nice to meet you." She says putting a hand out for a hand shake.

I return it and began to question her about all her knowledge on old Korean kingdoms. Sorry to nerd out but it's super interesting since my field of study is Egyptian history. Jisung calls me and I excuse my self from the conversation.

"What's up?" I greeted.

"I'm heading to the museum." Jisung replied.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" I whispered yelled.

"I'll explain I'm heading over to you." Jisung said with a pause.

"Stop using find my iPhone on me!" I replied.

"You know not everyone is tracking you, plus you said you had to work today idiot." He retorted.

We both hang up then I turn to the curator to see her focused on the art and then Jisung walked in. I walk over to him and was about to bring him to back to talk. But the curator turned around and moved towards the both of us.

"Who is this?" She asked.

"This is my little brother, professor." I replied

"Nice to meet you. You like Korean history?" They asked.

"Indeed, I particularly like the moment in Korean history where you give Me your number." Jisung replied.

"Interesting." She said and turn around. "I feel like you both will really fit in with the times. I'll be right back."

"She is really pretty." Jisung spoke up.

"She is like way out of your league. Why are you flirting with her? What about your girl friend know huh? Trouble in paradise?" I asked.

The next thing I know this girl comes back with a tray with tea. She really knows how to impress. I don't even think tea is even anywhere in the museum. She offers Jisung and I cup but I'm wary because we hardly know her. You don't take stuff From strangers kiddos. But she has been nice and we bonded over history. We both took a cup and both took a sip. My surprise when this was just green tea I was so happy. Fear washed over my face when I started to feel nauseous and my esophagus was burning. She poisoned us for what ever freak reason. I dropped the glass and went to help Jisung who was about to fall to the ground. I held him in my arms and then everything went black.

I wake up on the dirt ground which was different from my original place at the museum. Am I still alive? I'm so ready to kick that bitches ass. Where is Jisung? I try to sit up but I have a mysterious stinging on my abdomen got worse. My clothes were heavy like I was wearing armor so I moved it around to and made the worst mistake trying to touch it. I looked at my hand and saw that I was bleeding. I screamed and fainted right into the dirt.

"You think she's still alive?" A voice asked.

"Better be or off with our heads." Another voice replied.

"The crown prince has broken everything in his study because of her disappearance. So imagine what gonna happen if she is dead." Another person replied.

I open my eyes and see a group of people swarmed around me. I looked at all of them with widen eyes. THIS IS PRANK RIGHT HAHA. I really hope I have not been kidnapped! Where is my brother? All these questions swarmed my thoughts.

"Lady Han, you're awake!" One had replied.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the Palace." They said worriedly.

"The palace?" I asked confused. The closest thing to a palace is documentaries.

"All that blood you've lost must have you fatigued. Please rest while we get the crown prince." One of the people said.
