A week has passed since the whole ordeal with Kai and his six witches. With almost Leukos getting defeated but luckily won because of Jimin who appeared and helped them win the fight, that eventually died because of a phoenix who showed up unannounced, burning him alive.

Or so they thought.

"He could've survive if only some or one of us still have enough strength to pull him out from his place before that bird appeared," says Taehyung, still mourning the loss of his possibly good mentor that he might have had.

All six of them nods in agreement.

"He was so strong that he was able to summon a portal alone even when his body was already at its limit," Jin adds, as he watched Boongi wobble its tentacles beside Yoongi, "He also saved Boongi like it was his own."

"But don't you think how everything was... I don't know, perhaps unbelievable? I still couldn't comprehend the fact that a witch like Jimin survived and decided to remain in Leukos instead of fleeing to Erebos like the others did. And the fact that, the moon's color that night was the first in all colors the moon has ever shown. Let's also not forget about the fact that a Phoenix showed up. A Phoenix that's almost one in a billion lifetime to let itself be seen by mortals!"

"I wonder how he kept himself hidden though, after everything that happened here before and the fact that Yoongi did an extensive search to make sure no witches had survived?" exclaimed Hoseok and waved towards the kids that were waving on the palace's window. They giggled as soon as they got their much-wanted attention from him and scrambled away.

"I beg to disagree with that, Seok. We can't just assume he was from Leukos just because he showed up all of a sudden during the battle. What if he was birthed from Erebos and fled here thinking it was safe when it's the opposite for his kind? Only if that happened before during the—, you know what I mean. Or, the possibility that there is another kingdom here in Aidios that none of us have discovered yet?" says Namjoon, earning a nod from all of them, especially Jungkook.

"Exactly what I remembered he told me! He said he wasn't from here and that he wasn't a witch but a mere bookkeeper. I don't know what he meant by that. Perhaps, it's a type of witch his kind is called but of a higher rank." Jungkook chirps.

"But it's a shame he died. We no longer won't be able to make use of his knowledge to teach Tae and thank him for saving the villagers and Boongi," says Yoongi, finally breaking from his silence and daydreaming of Jimin during that day.

He doesn't understand why he was daydreaming of him in the first place. Perhaps because he was impressed of his sword skills? The way he speak to a King? His eagerness to save Boongi even though the blob and the war might nothing to do with him? But then again, he reminds himself Jimin is a witch albeit Jimin told him he wasn't, but a mere bookkeeper.

"I doubt he's dead," says Jungkook enthusiastically.

"Son,"

"What? He cannot die just like that, Appa! A strong witch or, uhm, bookkeeper like him can't die just because of a bird burning him alive. If he's able to summon a portal spell even with his body being weak, I'm certain he's not just some kind of typical witch."

"But we all saw it, Kook," Jin reminds him.

"Well, I refused to believe he's dead. There were no ashes seen, no burnt marks tracing a body so how could you be sure he's dead? Besides, the cloak he wore was untouched like it didn't go through fire at all."

Taehyung nods, taking into consideration what Jungkook had said but does not want to keep his hopes up.
