Author's POV

Necromancers, unlike the Magians, are the ones who uses dark magic to raise the dead to life. They can also control the souls of the living ones. Right now, one of them uses her dark powers on Jiae.

Jiae just simply went on her trail to the necromancer's hut. She ignored everything that comes on her way.

*meanwhile with the others*

Mijoo, Kei, Hoseok, Jimin and Suga rushed to Professor Jung's office. When they reached the door, they barged in and went straight in front of his table. The professor looked at them confusedly. He saw the worriedness in their eyes.

"Sir, where did you send Jiae for her punishment?" Suga quickly asked.

"Why did you ask?" Professor Jung said coldly.

"Please, sir. She's in danger. Where is she?" Kei asked, almost burst out in tears.

"I sent her to the Forbidden Forest. The creatures within the forest knows I sent Yoo Jiae there so you don't have to worry. They will not harm her."

All eyes widened. They all looked at each other.

"We have to take her out of there." Mijoo said.

"Then let's go." They dashed out of the office and went straight to the garden.

While running, Hoseok telepathed his mind to Namjoon's and spoke to him.

"Namjoon, get our friends and meet us in front of the Forbidden Forest. We need your help. Go with them. Right now!"

After that, Hoseok closed his mind. They stopped their tracks and waited for the others.

Not too long, their friends are already there.

"What's happening?" Asked Myungeun.

"Jiae is in danger. We needed your help to find her." Suga said.

"How can you say she's in danger when you're not with her?" Sujeong frowned while asking.

"Long story. We needed more people so I called for Namjoon."

"What are we waiting for? Let's get our asses into the forest and save Jiae." Seokjin said.

Then they ran into the forest.

*with Jiae*

She's already right in front of a wicked hut.

The blackness of her eyes disappeared and she fainted.

A pale lady with dark green dress and dark purple eyes came outside from the hut. She smiled evilly when she caught a sight of Jiae lying unconsciously on the ground.

She moved roots from the trees using her magic and used them to place Jiae in a big wooden cage.

The door of the cage was locked by itself with strong roots binding the two wooden bars.

"Captain, I have her." The necromancer talked to her captain in her mind.

"Great job. We're gonna get the stone now." Doyeon said to her.

*with Doyeon*

One of Doyeon's scouts checked if the tree to the shack is guarded. He didn't see any signs of human around the tree so the scout signalled her to come forth.

The tree twisted itself and revealed a portal to the shack. Doyeon entered the portal and she's in the shack right now.

The Sacred Stone floated as always. Doyeon stared at it and smiled in an evilly delighted way. She quickly grabbed the stone and as she was about to rush to the portal, she caught a glimpse of something sharp and shiny.
