Third person's pov

🌹🌹🌹

Fire was the only light around the hallway. Eunbi felt scared. For the second time, she felt scared.

As they walked through a hallway, Eunbi didn't know what to feel. First of all, of course, she was fucking confused about what was happening. But she decided to subside the questions, for now, she wanted to focus on her current situation. Underneath this bridge they are walking at, when Eunbi dared to look down, she saw... she saw hundreds... no thousands of souls being burned as they swim and struggle on the lava. All she could do was blame and question herself for what was happening. She's strong and powerful, that's a given, but she also knows that in this territory, with these vampires, she doesn't have any chance of winning.

Weird enough, she wasn't being dragged. How could this certain vampire trust her not to run away? Possibly because he knew that she also knows she had nowhere to go. And then she realized, she owns the Realm of Muspheleim, but she never got the chance to step inside its territory. So how? How can Yunji and the others be so sure that she's the Goddess of the two realms? Eunbi figured they never even had the chance to take a peek inside her realm, not even in the underground world.

Suddenly, her thoughts were once again replaced with questions when they entered a certain room. Eunbi couldn't deny it, she felt scared. It surely is the darkest room she had ever seen.

"Wait here, she'll come." The male vampire said in a deep voice. "Do you want anything?"

'I want you to get me the fuck out of here or tell my father not to mess with my academy.'

"Where am I?" Although she had many questions in her mind, she chose to ask the location first. She hated repeating her words, but this silent man made her do it anyway. "Where the fuck am I?"

"Realm of Muspheleim," He finally answered. He stepped forward and faced her properly, then bowed at her which shocked Eunbi. "You're his daughter, aren't you? Welcome back."

"Wait-"

"She will answer the rest, I have to go."

She? Eunbi watched him walk away, open the door, and leave her alone. For a second there, she thought she would have at least one minute of rest when the same cold wind blew against her once again. Abruptly, she stood and looked around.

Father, that was the first word that came into her mind. Is her father in here? Impossible! She... she couldn't remember anything about him. It had been years, so why would he suddenly come and show his face to her after abandoning her alone?

The door opened up once again and a woman dressed in an outfit made of leather came inside. She looked like someone from the 1500s, maybe from the country named Korea? Eunbi wasn't sure. Instead, she tried hard to see the woman's face, but after some time, she eventually gave up. The shadow prevented her from seeing the woman properly, and now that she completely closed the door after entering the room, Eunbi sighed in defeat.

"So, you havin' mixed feelings?"

The angelic voice came once again.

"What the fuck do you want?" She hissed. The footsteps came closer. Eunbi heard a chair being dragged, its legs carving on the floor, making a loud screech. The sound crept into her ears, but deafening it was, she stayed still and acted unbothered.
