After having a late lunch, you decided to rest and relax for the whole afternoon. It would be dangerous to practice spells further, seeing as to what happened earlier. Remembering this, you excuse yourself from the boys, who are sitting and watching television.

"Guys, I'll just head upstairs for a minute," you tell them.

"Sure Eunji. For what though?" Jimin asks you, turning to your direction.

"I'll just call my parents. After what happened this morning, I could have a few words with them," you reply.

"Oh okay," Jimin says with a nod. He turns back to watching television along with the others.

Seeing this, you walk up the stairs and into the second floor.

==========>•o•<==========

You find your room and you enter it. The colors of your bedroom really help to calm you down. The purples and the blacks give off a magical aura.

Sitting at the side of your bed, you open the drawers of the side tables. You fish out your phone and you search for your parents' contact. Clicking on their number, your phone starts ringing

Riiiiing! "Hello, Eunji?" your mom replies on the other end.

"Hey Mom, how's your day?" you ask her calmly.

"It's been fine, honey. How about yours, did something happen?" she says to you.

You pause for a brief moment, recounting everything that happened today. Breathing deeply, you reply to your mom.

"You guessed it. Well you see, we've encountered a... what was it– a shade? Yes, a shade," you mutter.

Another brief pause as your mom takes in what you just said. You chew on your fingernails as you wait anxiously for her reply.

"A shade! But how? Shades have been locked up in the Underworld for centuries. Are you fine dear?" she tells you.

"I'm okay Mom. But then there's Jin, you know the Vampyr prince. After casting a spell, he became possessed. We managed to... eliminate the shade, however Jin lost consciousness," you say.

You hear your mom gasp in the other line. She clearly knows the danger of facing shades.

"Is he fine now? A transferring of essences is needed to wake him up, usually from the person he loves the most," your mom says with concern.

"We've done that. Thanks to a fairy tale you read me when I was young, we managed to find a solution. Luckily, the Lycan prince Namjoon agreed to... lend his essence," you reply, muttering under your breath.

"That's great. But I feel a lot more has happened," she guesses. You sigh and physically nod.

"You got it right again. Jin was teleported to a catacomb. He mentioned seeing nine statues, which we assume are the First Rulers. When he found his way back to us, he mentioned seeing the Book of Sages," you say.

You hear your mom standing up, followed by footsteps and a tapping on the floor. Then, she lets out a hum as she remembers.

"The Book of Sages... your grandparents told us a story about it once. After the war, a group of sages hid a tome within the Mae Estate. The book contains the future of the Union and what is to come," your mom says.

"So are you saying that the catacombs may just be under the mansion!" you exclaim.

"Hasn't your Auntie tell you?" she asks you.

"No, but now I remember the boys mentioning it. So we have to find it. Circe said the Son of Magic is free, and the Shroud of Light will help us. I'm sure it will– "

Then you hear an audible gasp on the other line.

"Wait did you say Son of Magic... and Circe. The goddess herself told you. Beware Eunji, did your Auntie and Jinsoo leave?" she asks.

"Yes, do you know why?" you ask, anxiety filling you again.

"To find the Son of Magic of course. If my intuition is right, the Veil of Darkness has corrupted him, and he will try to find you." she says grimly.

"Circe mentioned that. So I have to find the Shroud of Light. And, this Book of Sages will help me in doing so," you say.

"Yes. It is a good thing you called Eunji. We will be going there tomorrow. We will talk further when your dad and I are there, okay?" your mom says.

"Sure thing Mom," you reply.

"Okay good, stay safe dear. And for now, prevent Prince Jin from casting spells. We will see you tomorrow. Good bye," she says dearly.

"Good bye too, Mom," you reply before turning off your phone.

Now that you have talked to your mom, you feel less overwhelmed.  It seems that something bad may be coming, yet you feel relieved with the fact that your parents will be arriving. Tomorrow, you will ask for their help.

Thank you for being there Mom... and Dad. Without you, I don't know what I'd do, you tell yourself.
