Dryxmar Academy (Iz*One Version)

Chapter 17: Finding The Girls

•Third Person View•

Two girls sat at the end of a branch looking towards the same Icy Forest they've been staring at for hours. They were really worried thinking anything could've happened to their friends. They were the two moms of the group and yet, they couldn't protect them now because they can't handle the cold.

They were worried and at the sane time, they want to have faith in the girls. Eunbi being their leader and the oldest, she was pacing back and forth thinking of all the possibilities that could've happened.

She couldn't feel the hunger and tiredness since she was too busy thinking about the other girls. Just then she felt her heart skip a beat. "Something is wrong Chaeyeon-ah." She said while clutching her chest.

"Unnie, you know, you don't need to worry about them. Minju is strong and can protect them right? Besides, Kkura is there along with Hyewon and Yena." Chaeyeon said making Eunbi turn to her with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, I think they might be introuble." Chaeyeon said after realizing the 3 oldest girls left with them. Eunbi then didn't think twice to run into the forest and sped off. Chaeyeon was taken aback by her actions but quickly recovered upon seeing a shadowed figure trailed Eunbi.

She ran after her and didn't think twice to save her unnie. She followed the footprints on the snow and followed them quickly before the shadowed figure gets to the older. She ran and ran until she saw Eunbi talking to the shadowed figure.

She was confused. If the shadow wanted to kill her unnie, then, it shouldn't have appeared and made a conversation with her. She then slowly walked toward them and saw the face. "Chaewon-ah?"

Both girls were startled and looked at Chaeyeon. "Unnie." Chaewon called her. "Chaewon-ah. What are you doing here?" Chaeyeon asked her but instead of answering, she questioned the two girls back.

"It doesn't matter unnie. But, what are you guys doing inside this forest?! You could get killed! Come on, I can warm you guys up a bit." The two girls didn't question the youngest any longer since they were really freezing. They had thick coats and thick boots but ut didn't stop the cold from penetrating through their body.

The ran towards the youngest and cuddled closely to Chaewon. While Chaewon used her arms to wrapd around her friends and used her powers to warm them up.

She then lead the two girls through the forest. The real reason Chaewon was following Eunbi was because she needed to talk to her. Chaewon was heavily injured after saving Yujin so she couldn't fight properly. Although she was injured, it didn't stop her from following the other girls.

She was now worried and wanted to talk to Eunbi about it. It's because she saw more than 50 figures following the girls. As they exited the forest, chaos was the first thing that greeted them.

They then saw figures at the distance and went towards it. There, they saw their friends. They ran towards then hoping to save them but it was too late. They were already gone.

Minutes tuned to hours, hours turned to days and days turned to weeks. It has been 2 weeks. They couldn't find them. Even with Chaewon's help and her powers, it seems like they are using a barrier. A barrier that was made out of Chaewon's only weakness. Oblivion.

Oblivion the darkest of the darkest powers. It is banned along with blood magic. Only 3 people with this power are alive and these people mentioned are the 2 lost king and queen and their only daughter.

The lost kingdom is the only thing that regulates the power of oblivion but now that it's gone, the power goes haywire making their minds corrupt and crave for more power.

They searched and searched endlessly. They were supposed to be back in the academy 1 week ago but they extended the mission for 1 month without telling the reason to the HM.

Currently, they were sitting on a tree branch resting. They looked for 20 hours without rest for the girls but turned up with nothing. Eunbi and Chaeyeon were devistated to lose their friends and Chaewon felt sad for them both.

So she did something she might regret later. She hopped off the branch and the two looked at her in confusion. She then began to sway her hands and dance like an elegant swan. (Like swan swan swan hehe) With her hand held up the wind started blowing harder than usual while the trees danced along with the waves of the nearby river.

Then she opened her eyes to reveal her right eye glowing white while the other, darker than the night. She then dropped her hands began walking into a direction where the winds whispered.

Chaeyeon and Eunbi followed her with confusion but didn't question. The both girls were amazed when they reached their destination. It was a large castle. Larger than all the castles in the dimension combined.

Lots of guards were outside while archers are guarding every corner. It seemed impossible to infiltrate but they have to. The others' life depended on them.

Slowly but surely, Chaewon lead the girls into a gap where no one was guarding. As they entered, they were met with 3 guards. They immediately covered their mouths and knocked them out.

"Looks like we have something to wear to blend in."
