LE SSERAFIM's pov
"So, what is it?" Eunchae asked sitting down on the dinning table, the smell of breakfast woke the youngest up but they came downstairs because the unnies called them to come downstairs.
"Don't get mad." Sakura said putting a bowl of rice in front of them.
"Why would we get mad?" Kazuha questioned, picking up her chopsticks.
"We have to go back to Refugia." and the two youngests stopped, their eyes flashed their elemental color.
"I told you we should not have told them about this!" the oldest of the team said sitting down.
"For what?" the ether asked, eyes still glowing in a dark purple color as she looked at the oldest with a cold stare.
"We have to get a book from the Refugian library."
"Which book?"
"History of Refugia." Yunjin said taking a bite of her rice.
"Why do we have to go back for that? I'm sure we could find it somewhere else-"
"You know that Refugia is a closed world, only in Refugia we can find stuff related to it there." Chaewon said taking a sip of her smoothie.
"Why do you need that now?" Eunchae asked, stare the same as Kazuha's.
"Magic is in danger."
"Who told you that now?"
"I felt it." Sakura said taking a deep breath.
"What if you are just over thinking it?" the other Japanese girl asked.
"Have I ever said things that aren't true? It's real and we have to get the book, I'm afraid-"
"For what?"
"Have you all heard about the myth saying that the door of afterlife opens once every 24 thousand years?"
"It's just a myth-"
"How sure are you that it couldn't be real?" she stood up and walked to the mini bookshelf in the living room and came back with a big book covered in a blue leather.
She set it down on the table with a thud, almost making the leader drop her glass and opened a specific page titled, 'The door of afterlife'.
"Want me to read it or?"
"Please do."
"Alright, The door of afterlife :
When a soul leaves it's body, it travels around the universe for 30 days before going into the afterlife, but some souls don't make it to there next life, as they are stuck behind the door because of the evil in them.
They can't go through the portal of next life and is let to rod in the darkness, they can't get out unless the door is opened by a living being or when it's opens after 24 thousand years on its own-"
"Wait what?"
"Yes, it opens on its own."
"What do we have to do about it?"
Chaewon was a bit relieved that the youngers are catching on instead of saying no and throwing a tantrum.
"If we don't close it, the evil souls will come to earth and end everything because, people here don't have strange strength like them."
"What will happen afterwards?" Eunchae asked, open mouthed as she lean towards the girl a little in curiosity.
"They will go to the magic worlds, destroying them one by one as well as collecting more souls, so they can get more strong." Sakura explained.
"What will happen at the very end?" Kazuha asked playing with her chopsticks.
"The whole universe will be under the control of evil." that send shivers to the girls.
"Stupid of me thinking that all we had to do was singing and dance..." Yunjin said in sarcasm.
"OK wait, what are we gonna do about It?" the youngest asked in confusion.
"That is why we have to go to Refugia."
"Still don't understand."
"Listen here, smiling potato. I remember reading about this in the History of Refugia and I'm sure it will lead the way for us." the oldest sighed.
"This is nuts, ask pd-nim, if he let us go, then we go and don't forget to tell this to the boys, I'm sure they would help us." the younger Japanese said getting up.
"Aren't you eating?"
"No." and she walked away.
"I think she is pissed." the leader said.
"I'm gonna check on her." Sakura also got up and walked to where the other girl went, her bedroom actually.
"Aren't you gonna eat?" Yunjin asked Eunchae.
"Yes I am, look!" she took a huge bite of her rice.
Meanwhile, when Sakura reached Kazuha's room, she saw the younger sitting on the windows seat, looking at the blue sky, lost in thoughts hugging her knees close to her chest.
"Zuha?" Sakura called out the girl, who didn't even turn her head to the older girl, she slowly took her steps to the younger girl, she could feel the cold aura from the door but ignored it.
"I know that you hate there and it's okay if you don't wanna come with-"
"Did you forgot the promise? We promised to do everything together no matter what it is." Kazuha said, turning to face the girl.
"Then do you wanna come with us?" Sakura walked to the younger and sat down next to her.
"If it is important then I will, I can't let you guys do this alone, I'm a part of LE SSERAFIM, so I have to stay with you girls." she said and lean against little towards the other girl.
"Can you hold me?" Sakura's heart almost dropped to her stomach at that, the way Kazuha sounded like tiny baby is too cute to handle.
"You don't need to ask, come here." she said with open arms, welcoming the younger Japanese and Kazuha slide over to the elder and lean on the girl's chest, letting out a breath she was holding in.
The elder let out a giggle and patted the younger's hair.
"I don't know why but, being with you makes me relax a bit." the ether said, slowly as her eyes fell.
"I'm happy for that." Sakura planted a kiss on her head and let her slowly sink into her little nap.

"May be if you try your best you can get there!" one of them yelled, stomping his feet.
"Why are you here!? Shouldn't you be in your pretty little chamber with your little bitches!?" someone shouted.
There words made him wanna turn them into ash and their wicked appearance made him gag. The white eyes, rotten face and he swear one didn't even have an arm.
He was happy that he isn't like any of those lowly creatures, his only flaw was the dark purple veins that went from his chest to his forehead, which he got from a ether element's poison.
"Come on, why aren't you saying anything? Are you deaf?"
"Don't mind him, he is just sad that he can't make it to there afterlife." they smirked.
"Demons don't have that type of feelings." he said getting up from the rock he was sitting and pushed one of them away.
"How dare you push me!?" and a hard slap landed on his left cheeks making his fall on the ground, he forgot that he don't have his element anymore.
He was just like all of them now, almost like a mere human, a creature who thinks he is above everything but is at the bottom of the universe.
"All of your royalty is out of this door and let me break it up to you, You. Are. Never. Going. To. Get. Out. Of. Here!" one of them said harshly poking his chest, while he just bite his inner cheeks, not wanting to rip that creature's head off.
"Oh and if you wanna see your uncle, he is on the west side, better go see him as fast as you can and think about your next master plan." and they walked away while laughing, leaving him alone on the black ground.
Sitting there, he let out a deep breath watching those creatures shadows disappear.
"Oh Taeyong, did you forgot about me?" he pouted, after spacing out for some seconds, he stood up, dusting his pants and walked to where his uncle is, to the west side.
As he walked he reached a cliff, and saw a man standing there with his hands crossed and back facing him.
The man was dressed in black, his black hair with grey highlights flied as the wind from blow, the dark sky that never has a sun lit up with a single lightning bolt, thunder following from being.
"Master?" he called our for the old man.
"Do you know why I asked for you?" the old man asked, turning his head just a bit to sense the other.
"No?"
"He is planning."
"Planning what?"
"The attack." saying that the man turned around.
His face made the other step back a little, half of his face was burned with dried blood still present, both his eyes were black, with a smirk on his normal side of his face.
He never thought he will see the older man like that, all that glory and royalty just disappeared in one single day for that man, leaving him in endless thirst for revenge.
"He brought back his daughter." the man said taking a step to him.
"What?" shock hinting the other's voice.
"How is that possible, your highness? Isn't she dead? I thought they killed her-"
"She was never dead, she have always been with him." the older man stopped when he was next to the younger and looked up at the dark gloomy sky, with lightning decorating it from time to time.
"He will get you out of here and when you leave, I need you to do something for me." he continued.
"What is it, your highness?" the older man looked to his left to see the other already looking at him with exception of something big and happiness that his master asked him to do something.
He lived to serve the royal family, it doesn't matter if this man is now a king or not, he will do everything this man tell him to do, not even his now majesty can stop him.
"No matter what, make sure that he will never ever find that necklace, you know what will happen if he did, right?"
"I do and I swear on my life that he won't get it, I'll never disappoint you, Master."
"I know you won't, that's why I trust you more than my own sons, Johnny."
