The ground shook when soldiers from both sides charged into the field with strong roars of aggression and swords swinging in the air. Blood thirst was vibrating their throats and lacing their voices especially those who wore crimson red and golden armory. The mixture of sand, fire and earth was gassing the air with dust and toxic, burning chemicals breathed in by angry soldiers yet it somehow fuel them up like wildfire. This might have something to do with the new and shocking discovery of their young king's superior power that gave them a fierce determination to bring him a victory from the war, to bring him up to a greater throne.

Even Jimin could sense the sudden burning passion of his own army and it fueled him as well but he choose to stand his ground first rather than charging in with his mind-possessing power. He figured he should stay back observe the battlefield first and not expose his power just yet though he was itching to screw those nincompoop up. His eyes scanned the battlefield which undoubtfully was being conquered by his army judging the way crimson red and golden armored soldiers were getting closer to their line of officers who were swooshing around with their powers, desperately trying to push the Infernos and Araks back.

Then something caught Jimin's eyes. At the far back of Fern's army was where the royals were supposed to be chilling with their popcorn but Jimin noticed their cold yet wary expressions while they intensely stared at the war. However, the young king didn't fail to notice their quick glance to the sides as well as if they were anticipating for something to happen, something that might bring them their last hope in this seemingly losing war. Jimin squinted his eyes at the royals of Fern in much suspicion and felt a crawling feeling in his guts, getting his guard heightened as he observed those royals.

As if on cue, a figure sprung into the air from behind the royal, raising its arms before a massive wave of water crashed into the field out of the blue. It didn't kill any soldier but it did something worse. The crash of water had drained the army of Inferno and Arak's power as it extinguished the once bursting flames and the hardened the sad soldiers from transforming or shifting as soil became muddy and lumpy. Even Hoseok was hesitant in using his power since there's a high risk of electrocuting himself. Now the allied armies are at utmost vulnerable with only their primal strength while the opponent now gained a new source of power out of nowhere.

Kishore immediately dismounted from his horse stepped closer towards the field with jaw and fist clenching, getting concerned for his soldiers. The young prince of Arak might be a clown and carefree most of the times but when his people is in trouble, he won't be tolerant and forgiving anymore. Whoever or whatever summoned that gush of water will not only be facing Jimin but also Kishore's wrath.

Jimin dismounted as well before standing shoulder to shoulder with Kishore as they glared at the battlefield, anticipating for a reveal of the unexpectedly guest that apparently have allied with Fern by the stupid victorious grin of the enemy's royals. But it became a fair game now that both Fern and Inferno brought in a secret weapon.

The field was filled with groans and hisses of soldiers who lost their powers while the opponents visibly strengthened themselves by absorbing the water in as if they were watering themselves. Freaking photosynthesizing in the middle of a goddamn war. In the midst of soldiers' mourning for their powers, the unknown slowly made its way into the battlefield as if it was a runway before fully revealing itself.

At the frontline of Fern's army stood a slim figure of a dark blue haired girl dressed in royal blue armory who wore a cold sour face. Her posture was stone cold and showed no emotions at all. A clear reflection of someone who Jimin was extremely familiar with and he couldn't help but to point out the many similar features that the blue haired girl shared with his General....too similar. The only major different was the pouring blood thirst that caused her lifeless eyes to sparkled which Jimin was also familiar because he too looks like that whenever he get dead set on killing someone for fun with his power. With one single glance, Jimin could almost guarantee that whoever the Fern brought into the field was surely a maniac or worse, a psychopath.
