Monarch [BL/Chanbaek]

21.

It was a night of suffering.
I groaned in the pain of darkness.

"Don't let go of my hand. I'm always by your side. Now, look here. This isn't the place you knew. Do you miss the shaman in the back room? Don't call his name. You'll never be able to say his name with those pretty lips."

Baekhyun picked up a small magic stone and put it in a small ceramic bottle.

"Why are you shaking so much? I didn't do anything."

The bracelets, more than twenty in number, that were on my arm turned black and fell to the floor one by one.

'The shaman will have circled the pond by now, heading toward the small statue. I left his toy there. It's very small, but it's important to him.'

"Did you take the bell?"

"I took the egg inside that bell. The Seven Star Bell is useless if it doesn't ring. Why? Go tell her."

"who are you."

'...............'

"You mere mortal dare to do this to me. Explain why you are doing this to me."

He did not lower his voice even though he said he was just a small creature.
Perhaps it was because it took the form of someone he knew, or because it was a being he could not lower his voice to.
