89🔥 Prophecy

"So, hun, I love that you visited but I can't help but wonder why," Shinhyun began as she sat on the couch, her legs folded towards her side as she held a mug of peppermint tea. 

The sun had risen to display the start of a brand new day, Jin having slept on the couch since he absolutely refused to sleep in the same bedroom as his marshalle. Sure, he was gay, but he wasn't comfortable sleeping in the same room. Plus, the couch was actually pretty comfortable.

As of now, Shinhyun, Fera's mother, was seated on the single couch and Fera and Jin were sitting on the couch across from it, both holding mugs that held different liquids from her moma. Shinhyun wasn't a heavy coffee drinker since she was naturally hyper, while Fera and her father needed it to properly start their days, Jin the exact same.

Fera rubbed eyes a bit before talking to her mother, Jin just observing as he drank his coffee, "During that last attack- you've heard about the attacks, right?"

Shinhyun nodded, a serious expression on her usual cheerful features, "Of course I have, everyone here who has a child in the academy has a mini heart attack when they hear of another attack," she sighed, looking at her daughter, "I get worried too, Fera."

Fera curtly nodded before continuing, "During the most recent attack, one of my fire babies unfortunately died-"

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry-"

"That's... That's not the problem moma, we brought him back-"

"Using my whisp," SeokJin interjected, ShinHyun's gaze shifting to him.

"You have a whisp?"

Jin nodded, Shinhyun doing the same before looking back at Fera and urging her to continue.

"Eversince he's been back, he's been acting really off, he gets angry easily, and doesn't know-"

"Fera, when you were brought you acted the same," Shinhyun interrupted, Fera sighing to control her annoyance since her mother kept interrupting her.

"It's different, Moma," she insisted, leaning forward to put her mug on the coffee table, "did my eyes bleed red and have orange flames in the shape of wings after I was resurrected?" she asked, knowing the answer would be a whopping-

"No," Shinhyun shook her head, concern showing in her hazel eyes, "never."

SeokJin began speaking, the mug now on the table, "Well that's what happens to him. Recently he burned someone really bad and his eyes showed that design and color. His behavior is erratic and it gets harder for him to control his emotions, especially his anger or annoyance." Jin explained, worry creeping in his veins when he thought about the others.

He hoped they were all okay.

Shinhyun pondered on his words for what felt like hours to Jin, before she nodded her head and asked some questions, "Is your friend- what's his name?"

"Hoseok."

"Hoseok, does he have a shadow soulmate, do you know what that is?"

Fera nodded, "Yes, and yes he does."

"What element does this soulmate wield?"

"Frost."

A look of fear and realization passed over Shinhyun's eyes, her hand moving to cover her mouth as she gasped. Fera and SeokJin sharing a glance with furrowed eyebrows before looking back at Fera's mother.

"Moma, what is it?"

Shinhyun couldn't help but exhale a breath of what seemed like excitement and curiosity, "Your friend is the phoenix."
