♕Guardian Demon ∥ Yeonbin [✎]

Chapter 15

(Also, just a heads up, i think, because I want to incorporate more places and characters along the way, it may get confusing, especially when i update after a really long time, there might be a break in the flow and settings. So in the later parts of the chapter, I will be putting in notes as well as pictures with brief summary of the story up to that point for my dear readers to follow easily.!)

What, the fuck, Yeonjun mind echoed. What the actual fuck just happened? 

The ground rumbled a while more before quietening down, only the faint droppings of stones being heard. 

What the fuck?

Yeonjun gritted his teeth and squeezed the ground he held onto, his other hand still outstretched into nothingness. The rocks cracked under his furious pressure before the male threw himself up, swiftly turning on his heels with so much fury, a flash of strong wind whipped along with his actions, etching a stretch of cracked marks along the floor.

He considered jumping down as well but after clearing his churning mind, thought otherwise. 

Why wasn't he sobbing and crying over the death of his dear friend you may ask? That's because Yeonjun knew Soobin wasn't dead. Not that he can actually be VERY sure, but he has hope that the worst outcome won't be true. You see, the cliff, like the whole place they were in, holds magical powers as well. The reason why there's no sound below despite the falling water or the thousands of little rocks raining down, nor were there screams of death is because there was no really 'end' to the fall. Mid way through the endless hole was a type of, well in human terms, a 'teleportation' device of sorts, called Arc of Azure. 

The Arc of Azure, Yeonjun thought to himself, stopping to think of whatevery he should do next. It definitely, if i remember correctly,  covers the whole area below, so it's safe to assume Soobin could have fallen through it. And by having that here means...

Yeonjun traced his line of sight from below him to the castles beyond. It should bring him, there, in one of those homes. 

Yeonjun has gone through those magical entrances a few times in his life, since teleportation was not his speciality. The Arc of Azure can vary in size and shape, but it's mostly circular in shape, with swirling blue hues mixing around like shiny slime on the surface, much like a mirror. Once you step through it, you would end up in a different place, depending on where the maker had made it to be. Makers of these doors are rare as well, so to have this big of a scale means the effects of going through the door would be greater as well. 

The first time Yeonjun stepped through, it was like walking into a block of cold water, invisible waterless liquid dancing and enveloping his skin. Even if his eyes were open, there wasn't anything to see before specks and bits and pieces of wherever he ended up surfaced in his vision. It was nauseating to say the least and he almost barfed up his lunched after repeated crossings. 

"Soobin probably is unconscious," Yeonjun hummed and nodded to himself. Both from the height of the fall and passing through the door. The red haired boy clapped his hands, done with his thoughts and ready to proceed on with the plan. The most important thing now, aside from the meeting with the 7 heads, was to find Soobin. No use going for it without the main character. 

As Yeonjun sped-walked across the thin bridge, his mind suddenly popped up another question. In this big place (it may as well be considered another village), how the hell was he going to find Soobin in time? Not only that, most of the rooms are restricted to visitors. Breaking in once was ok, if he only does it once and was sure Soobin would be there. This could get him in trouble and the 7 heads won't be pleased with the situation now.
