Min Yoongi sat on a broken bench that gave you the most perfect view of the dead garden behind his room. The tones of grey and black are something he had always been used to seeing, but something lately seemed so lack luster about the mixture. The bright sunflowers that Hoseok had accidentally brought to life and refused to kill caught Yoongi's attention and he got up from his spot on the bench to walk over to them.

They seemed beautiful, yet out of place. His nature told him he should touch them and end them of their miserable existence in the garden of death, but they gave him a warmth he had only known once before. Just as he had made up his mind and was slowly reaching his fingers towards the bright yellow petals, a dense purple fog wrapped around the flowers and they withered instantly. Yoongi sighed at the now blending colors as they slowly took over the once bright ones. "Sorry, were they your pets?" A teasing tone of voice came from behind Yoongi and he instantly knew who it was.

"Damier...always a pleasure." Yoongi said sarcastically as he turned around and acknowledged his guest.

The king of the goblins looked just as disgusting as he always had. His oily black hair clung to his pale face in the most sickening way as he bowed. "You summoned sire and I have chosen it worthy to answer."

Yoongi gagged at the smell of rot that wafted in his direction. "Yes, well...I have a job that I feel only you can handle."

"Let me guess." Damier stepped closer and the smell of old blood and dead earth consumed Yoongi's space. "You want me and my children to help you find the lost light prince. The same light prince you failed to kill by yourself. This must be such a disappointment to you to let such an enemy go. Have you been able to sleep well with such a failure as that, I wonder?" He cackled.

Yoongi let his teasing slide as he rounded his shoulders and tried to appear like his words hadn't angered him. "You spend your life in the darkness and shadows. I am giving you the chance to leave such conditions and I find you being mocking. Maybe I should have considered other allies." Yoongi turned away from Damier and made his way back towards his room.

Panic filled Damier's eyes as he quickly grabbed a hold of Yoongi's shoulders and turned him back towards him. "Now, Now. Let's not be so hasty. I was only joking. I thought such a generous sire would have some sense of humor." Unable to stand the stench that was burning the inside of his nose, Yoongi quickly pushed Damier off him and straightened out his coat.

"I think I have made a mistake in calling you and your minions." Yoongi sneered. "You may go home Damier and I hope this is the last we see of each other."

"But sire you haven't paid my price yet." Damier laughed.

"Price?" Yoongi's eyebrow raised in confusion.

"You see, sire. I don't like to be disturbed, we goblins live a quiet life and as you may know we hate having visitors tread on our underground without gifts in hand. You however, sent a messenger without paying said price, then you ask me to come out of my darkness and to you. The land of light does horrible things to the skin and eyesight of my precious children."

"Get to the point Damier." Yoongi insisted.

"My point sire is that I will leave as you ask of me, but I must inform you that because of your rude behavior, I will be choosing the gift myself." Damier snapped his fingers and a swarm of small disfigured creatures came from out of the shadows carrying something on their backs. Yoongi instantly recognized the unconscious and bloodied Jimin.

"You wouldn't." Yoongi seemed to growl in anger.

"You more than anyone know I would, unless..."

"Unless what?" Yoongi asked.

"Years before my time, the fairies used to rule in peace. Your father became jealous and broken and decided he wanted sole rule. Your father had his chance to call on my people, but he didn't take it. You now have such an opportunity; I suggest you take it. Give me my orders and I give back your brother. Easy as that sire." Damier smiled wickedly.

"What does helping me give you?" Yoongi asked. Before Damier could say anything else, the goblins dropped Jimin roughly at Yoongi's feet and Yoongi rushed to check on him.

"Just give me my orders." Damier demanded.

Yoongi put one of Jimin's arms around his neck and quickly picked him up into a standing position. "Go to the human villages and see if you can find any information on the whereabouts of prince Seokjin."

"Very well my sire." Damier smiled again as he bowed in Yoongi's direction. Just as he was about to turn to leave, Yoongi called out to him.

"Again, I ask, what do you get in return."

"Don't worry about my victory prize sire, just be ready when I return the news of it. Until then, please rest as easy as you can."

Yoongi couldn't help but feel like he had made the biggest mistake as he watched Damier and his gang of goblins disappear in the darkness.
