That night when Taehyung and Jennie were supposed to return to their chambers in Aquarious Pier, they ended up going somewhere else far, far away from east.
And funnily, while attempting to discover new places in Chaedu-ri, they ended up getting lost in the woods. It was a deserted forest that looked like it did not belong to any of the four Realms.
Nevertheless, it was beautiful.
The more they walked further into a forest, the more a mysterious glowing light was shone, and finally the captains came to realize that it actually belong to a sapphire-coloured bonfire.
And strangely, the fire didn't felt hot at all. Instead, they actually felt cooler the closer they went towards it. In the middle of the fire sat and little creature with a witch hat, chanting towards the fire.

Jennie immediately slapped Taehyung who snickered because he found the scene somewhat funny. They must've been so loud that the creature stopped whatever it was doing and turned around.
The captains shutted their mouths and stared at it. Is that Tyrian? Wait no, a chibi Tyrian? Like a.. half-mushroom-half-human Tyrian?
"Yes, it's me," Tyrian confirmed his identity. "Would you like to take a seat?"
"Ah, yes." Jennie said, approaching the bonfire with Taehyung behind her.
It was awkward when they sat at the opposite of the Tyrian; as the hybrid leader began to chant his prayers once again, raising his hands up high as he did so.
Taehyung: "I have a question."
"Ask ahead."
Taehyung began, "When we first entered Chaedu-ri.. why did Rai only specifically chose me to drag me into a river? Why did Martis wanted to kill me the minute he saw me? Why is Eilonwy was so cold especially towards me? And how did Seraphine and Septimus' parents died?
Taehyung, "Is there.. something wrong with me?"
Tyrian paused for a moment before he spoke. "Yes, there is, indeed, something wrong with you."
He jabbed his tiny fingers at him. "You are the reason that everything has happened, boy. Every hybrid here is either hating or fearing you. For you have never known; you are capable of doing terrifying things."
"What things?" Taehyung asked. "Is it something to do with me being a Zhang?"
