            A city full of skyscrapers, no lights on the streets since the fires that appear in the sky randomly light up the Kingdom enough. Not just red flames, there was green, violet, and orange flames that looked magnificent but too scary to touch. The castle was breath taking, it was fancier than the High Jungle Kingdom's castle. No wonder Nolland wanted alliance with them. Their knight's armors were golden with flames drawn on them. You would think it's really hot since there is fire everywhere, but the weather was actually cool. Making the blonde boy's hair shift, revealing his strong eyebrows and his forehead.

   "Welcome," none other than the high lord of the Flaming Kingdom greeted them, "to my home." He gazed at each one of them, tilting his head towards the other high lord, "the groom looks great."

  Jimin shifted his head away from him annoyed as Haven nudged him with his elbow as a cheer up gesture. And it did a little bit, having Haven on his side wasn't so bad. After what they experienced together in the forest, it made them closer. He knew he can trust him with his life. "When is the wedding?" Nolland asked, dryly.

   "What's the rush?" Hoseok asked with a giggle in his tone, facing Jimin again, "I want to show off my Kingdom since he's my guest today."

    Jimin lifted up his chin as an agreement, he was going to agree on anything that will distract from the fact that today, Nolland was getting married. He hated it with all his heart, he thought it was ridiculous that it was the only way. He was mostly jealous too. He was his lover yet he never showed him off to anyone, he always kept their relationship a secret when they were in public, and that made Jimin feel bad about himself.

   "I'll come too then," Nolland stated but Hoseok's reply was faster than the speed of light.

   "You should go see the bride, you don't want to see her for the first time in twenty years when your exchanging rings in-front of the entire Kingdom." He opened his hand gracefully for Jimin to hold, and Jimin did.

   Nolland looked at them holding hands, his blood boiled, possessiveness and jealousy occupied his eyes. "Be careful," His face shifted towards Jimin.

   The human didn't bother to smile and to reply, he was showing his bitterness and it was only fair for him to do that. Haven knew he couldn't join Jimin either, he had duties regarding the wedding. "Shall we go?" The fiery red haired boy asked Jimin.

   Jimin gave him a nod as he stared at his lover, off to see his bride, his business bride is what Nolland called her before. And as for Jimin and Hoseok, they vanished and got summoned on a bridge. Flames of different colors were on the sides of it, making Jimin slightly gasp in fear.

  "These aren't real flames, right." He asked just to make sure.

    Hoseok smiled, "if they're not, what do you think they are?" He asked curiously.

   Jimin parted his lips, but he thought about it for a moment, "Firelighting," he smiled, "also called fire making or fire craft and it's the process of starting a fire artificially."

    Hoseok nodded impressed by him, "a lot of guests and even some of the Fae's here don't know that. You are quite impressive." They started walking down the bridge.

  Jimin's lips tugged upwards because of what Hoseok said. "I truly have wisdom." He joked with him.

  Hoseok chuckled softly, that sweet laugh of his made Jimin's heart warm. "Your confidence reminds me of someone." He mentioned casually.

   Jimin felt his heart stop beating for a moment, "who?" His tone was quite stern, and he knew exactly who he meant.

    The high lord opened and closed his mouth, he just smiled at Jimin. "You don't know him." He said.
