The weight on his chest seemed to drag his feet as he paced on the balcony. Jimin left both his best friend and his right hand man in the room while he tried to calm himself outside but the fresh air didn't see to help at all. If anything, it clogged his lungs and collapsing it. Upon hearing how it went down, Jimin lost his breath for a second before it came rushing back in, over expanding his chest with adrenaline. He didn't know he could get panic attacks but here he was, rubbing his stinging chest and blinking his hot tears away.

"She went to search for the Mutants for further study and even hoped to find antidote", his right hand man bitterly told him while the young captain begun to curse under his breath and gripped his hair as if he finally came to his senses of the situation and realize how bad it actually was. Out of everything he anticipated, this certainly wasn't it. He knew Venus might be traveling outside the walls but never for such insanely dangerous purpose. From what he saw in the footage, these creatures were sent by God Himself to demolish mankind like the Great Flood. They were the worst he had seen and that said a lot. And his wife is currently out there somewhere, being chased by one of them.

At that thought, his guts growled and swirled before pushing out his dinner from last night. He ran to the toilet and threw up in the sink. Thinking of Venus' possible death made his stomach crawled and skin tightened. He needed to do something quick but he didn't even know where to start with. None of them knew her coordinates as Venus herself was unsure of the places she's gonna cover. So everyone was left with the fact that she'd gone into The Forest with no tracker and on horses. It would take weeks to find them in that tree-dimension but he needed to.

But he knew someone who could help them. Jimin fumbled his phone out of his pocket and searched for a particular contact while he washed his mouth. The call connected and he spoke before the person could greet him, "Meet me at the Defense Sector".

Venera, Defense Sector - 45 minutes car ride from Pluto

She stood still but the tapping foot said otherwise. The news she just received shook her core and now she's filled nerves and anxiety while she awaited the arrival of North Venera's ruler who was also her best friend's husband. Just when she's about to call him again to ask for his whereabout, 'cause frankly she's about to explode from panic, a black Maserati rolled into the compound, escorted by military trucks. Shits about to go down.

"Eluna", Jimin greeted with a stoic expression as he always does. The girl didn't waste a second before snatching the piece of clothing from his hand and blew a high pitched whistle. A massive brown reindeer, almost as tall as Bear trotted around the corner, blowing puffs of air from its nose and gently shaking its dominating antlers as if it was brushing off the cold. "Binzo, track", Eluna ordered her reindeer, Binzo, in Mongolian.

Eluna and her other survivors friends from the village were the last of their kind, the Salkhiny Tribe, Riders of the Wind. They preserved their culture and capabilities of taming and bonding with a reindeer that chose them. Venus met Bear in Mongolia and had been stuck to the waist since then and Jimin thought precisely of this. Hence why he took one of Bear's saddle blanket to Eluna. Binzo might not be familiar with Venus' sense but he grew up with Bear, he was their only hope in finding Venus.

The massive reindeer took a sniff of the blanket and snorted loudly. It lifted its head and smelt the air before swinging its antlers and let out a distressed call. Eluna's eyes widened in realization before muttered a sentence of curses, "on your mount! We need to move! NOW!". The girl didn't waste a second upon seeing Binzo's reaction. Jimin had organized a hunting party and it only included Jungkook, Eluna and Jimin himself. Taehyung was ordered to stay behind as acting ruler while the others were gone. Jimin and Jungkook got onto their strong Dutch blood horses before riding off, tailing Eluna as they exited the protective walls of Venera.
