The Velvet Junction Train station

@❇︎ Xiao Kein The train groaned, metal grinding against metal as it surged forward. Kibum’s sensors parsed the chaos—erratic heartbeats, hurried footsteps, the acrid tang of burning fuel. Yet, their focus remained razor-sharp. Across the shifting bodies, a silhouette emerged—a shadow draped in familiarity. Xiao.
Their systems faltered for half a second, a cruel glitch of memory overlaying the present. Then, a flicker of movement—a cloaked figure slipping through the smoke, closing in. Kibum recalibrated. Threat detected.
Their cybernetics whirred in response, calculations unfolding in milliseconds. The automaton in their grasp pulsed wildly, reacting to something unseen. Power surge. Unstable energy signatures. A trap? The air ionized. A pulse grenade.
No time.
Kibum lunged forward, overriding the train’s interface with a mere touch, rerouting the power surge into the automaton’s crystalline core. Sparks erupted, casting fractured light against the walls. The grenade detonated mid-air—contained, redirected. Controlled.
As the smoke cleared, their optics locked onto Xiao’s wide eyes. The past roared between them, unresolved, unrelenting. The train thundered ahead, carrying them both toward an uncertain reckoning.

@〄 Kim Kibum ¥ The velvet Junction. A means of transportations. A use that the fae used time and time again. Meeting people, finding them and understanding the way others came from all over. It was not suspiring Xiao had been sat inside waiting for the train engine to start. The destination already departing to the outskirts surrounding kingdoms around.

Dressed in denim jeans and shirt. The fae had been wondering if she ever would meet up with the person who she had once called her own love. The pain still ached, but the power she sought were two completely different things. But all the same in one. She wished she could have the means to control. However, without power, she couldn’t get anything. It was for that very reasoning where she would fight tooth and nail to get what she needed to help and protect those she cares deeply about.

Finding a place to sit down. Xiao couldn’t help but let those lingering thoughts eat her up. The very train roaring and blasting itself towards an unknown destination. But that is where their path crossed. Xiao could not help but glance towards someone familiar. A figure of shadow. Was it her imagination, or was it him? She wasn’t sure, but the sacrifice she did. Would he forgive her? She couldn’t even answer but sighed heavily as she sat on the train until people started to move as it approached the first destination.

@♆ Choi Seunghyun "Seunghyun?" Wooseok repeated the name and uncertain as he stared at the man before him. His internal systems worked overtime, scanning for any trace of the name, the face, or any relevant memory file that might help him place this supposed acquaintance. Yet, the search came up empty, as he had feared. He exhaled softly, a faint flicker of disappointment crossing his features, though his expression remained otherwise composed.

"You knew me well?" he asked, his tone both hesitant and hopeful as he reached out to take Seunghyun's hand. There was an eagerness in the way he held on, as though clinging to the possibility of answers. His gaze locked onto Seunghyun's, searching for some flicker of truth or familiarity in his words. "You're able to tell me about my past?" he pressed, his voice carrying a rare note of vulnerability. Wooseok found himself wanting, needing to know more. If this vampire truly had answers, then perhaps he could uncover something about himself, something beyond the blank spaces and broken fragments that plagued his existence.

@〄 Byun Wooseok ¥✔ The demon curiosity heightened by the echoing confusion in Wooseok's voice. It was delectable something he can magnified. He was just in luck as the Vampire Doctor have lived for centuries. "Come on now. Stop messing around. You know me. Seunghyun. Choi Seunghyun." He nervously laughed, soon followed by a hollow chuckle. The doctor eyed him head to toe and the pained actions of the man made him winced, stepping back. "You seriously don't remember, do you?" He whispered, brows knitted in deep thought. The demon inside having a blast. "Oh, how I am right about you, doctor. Your connections kept me full."

"It's..."Seunghyun sighed, shoulders dropped and grinned softly. "Don't fret. I guess it's been quite awhile since the last time we've seen each other. Too many faces that we might forget. Anyways." He exclaimed, poising himself as the gentleman his 'old friend' would be familiar with. "I am Choi Seunghyun. A vampire." He reached out offering his hand. "I know of your family and we were more than acquaintance."

@❇︎ Xiao Kein [Sorry I got carried away with the opening, p.s. please don't mirror my length if that's not your style. Happy reading and thank you for your patience.]

Kibum’s augmented fingers skimmed the etched brass console, their sensors alive with the rhythmic thrum of the Mist turbines. Velvet Junction pulsed with frenetic energy, a cathedral of brass and steam where Fae, humans, and machines collided in uneasy harmony. Yet, Kibum's focus was singular—on the automaton cradled in their hands. Its crystalline core pulsed faintly, each glow in sync with the humming circuitry that wove through their own body. Creator and creation—both unfinished, both volatile.

A voice crackled through the station’s latticework. “Boarding for The Arcadian Arrow begins in ten minutes.” The whistle of the train pierced the air, curling with argent mist, a herald of inevitability. Kibum’s grip tightened around the automaton as a wave of static tension rippled through their systems. Xiao would be here. The thought ignited a dissonance they couldn’t suppress.

Why had she left? Had she ever cared? Kibum’s breath caught—a stubborn human reflex that hadn’t faded—and they forced their attention back to the automaton, willing its steady luminescence to anchor them. Their sensors, however, betrayed their focus, parsing every motion in the crowd. The first shimmer of the Arrow emerged through the mist, its rune-inscribed hull a glowing promise of escape. Then, a flash of movement. A figure. Kibum’s optics zoomed in unbidden. The details sharpened: Fae features, an insignia glinting like a blade in the station’s dim light.

The platform erupted. A concussive blast split the air, shards of glass and molten brass scattering like shrapnel. Smoke thickened, clogging visibility and sending panicked travelers sprawling. Kibum’s arms locked around the automaton as their cybernetic systems absorbed the shock, muscles of brass and sinew calibrating to keep balance. Within the chaos, their optics fixed on a cloaked figure moving with deliberate intent toward them.

Not today.

Kibum’s legs powered them forward, every motion fluid, mechanical, unyielding. The train loomed ahead, doors sliding open in synchrony with its melodic whistle. The automaton’s core pulsed harder in their grasp, as if it, too, felt the urgency. Kibum’s systems registered sound patterns, voices cutting through the chaos, one of them sharp, familiar. They didn’t turn. Vaulting aboard as the doors slid shut, Kibum cradled the automaton closer, its steady glow a fragile promise amidst the rising storm.

@♆ Choi Seunghyun "You know me?" Wooseok's voice carried a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected anyone to recognize him, much less address him with familiarity. For so long, he'd believed that anyone who might have known him was either lost or long gone from this world. The hum of his core quickened as he studied the man's features. There was something in the tone of his voice and the other's recognition of him that stirred an almost instinctive response within Wooseok. Hope? Curiosity? Expectation? He couldn’t quite name the sensation.

Taking a step closer, Wooseok’s frame tensed slightly with a mix of eagerness and restraint. He wanted to know more, to ask who this man was and how he seemed to know him, but he caught himself before he could get carried away. He straightened his posture, calming himself down. “I… apologize.” he said, trying to tone down the swell of emotions that had risen. “I wasn’t expecting to meet anyone who might… know who I was." He said with a pause as he glanced down for a moment then back up to look at the other, his optics brightened slightly as he spoke again. “But I suppose I should ask… who are you?”

@〄 Byun Wooseok ¥✔ As the train rumbled into the station, a lone figure stood on the platform, dressed in a long, black coat with a crimson shirt underneath. He was a demon, but to the mortal eye, he appeared as a handsome and mysterious vampire doctor, with piercing eyes and chiseled features. The demon, whose name was Doppelgänger, had been watching the station for weeks, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

And then, he saw him - a man with a familiar face, now augmented with cybernetic enhancements. Seunghyun’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the cyborg, a man named Wooseok who had a history with the vampire doctor whose identity the demon had stolen.

Seunghyun approached him, a charming smile spreading across his face. "Wooseok, it's been a long time," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I see you're still..."

[post deleted by owner]

@♆ Choi Seunghyun The hiss of steam escaped the train as Wooseok stood by its side, the faint hum of his internal mechanisms blending with the ambient clatter of the bustling train station. His hands rested lightly at his sides, his metallic fingers still carrying faint traces of grease and oil from the machines he had delivered. Despite the crowd's movement, his presence remained steady, almost unyielding, as his gaze lingered on the imposing frame of the train before him.

Suddenly, a flicker of memory flashed through his mind. Marred recollections of his parents’ features, the desolation of leaving Marteria, and the overwhelming shift of arriving at Circuit City tugged at his thoughts. For a moment, his optics dimmed slightly, his head lowering as if shaking off the weight of the past. When he lifted his head, his optics brightened once more, focusing on the crowd. It was then his gaze locked onto a figure in the distance. There was something about the person that tugged. within him. His head tilted slightly, the faint sound of his systems whirring as they scanned the face, cross referencing it with his internal database. However, No logs were found.

I turn my eyes to the gentle tapping of the rain on the glass, soon accompanied by the rolling belt of lighting. The wind whimpers across the outside of the cart that didn't compare to the growling crack of thunder roaring overhead. 'Hi there, ladies, gents, and folks. We are now departing from Mystique Rainforest, and the next stop will be Undead Wastelands which we'll be approaching in 15 minutes. Please take your seats as we prepare for departure, and once again, thank you for riding the Central Coin Bullet train.' I let go a weary sigh attempting to exude patience, knowing that it would most likely be another 1hr and 45mins to Bahamut Summit, especially with weather like this. I just really wanted to get home and back to the castle, to Lord Ta_. I just really want to get home.
I tucked the cloak around my waist hugging my mid section from comfort. I should've known better than to hire an Airship pilot instead. I never really fancied trains, but had I known what was in store for me this evening; I never would've boarded in the first bloody place.

[Open to anyone.]

@† Kim Myungsoo Yooa blinked as she looked at him. His home land would still be gloomy and dark even when it was morning. She was a bit surprised by that fact, but at the same time not really. It made sense that courts would still be dark since the people who lived there couldn't go out in the sun. "Alright - that's good - but in the future, we get caught outside and turn to sunlight - we should make a plan to help you not get hurt," Yooa nodded, smiling as she felt him lay his head on her shoulder. She didn't want that situation to come up or happen. She would feel horrible if he got hurt because he was hanging out with her and pleasing her adventures to be outside or explore with him. She nodded again she was told not be weary or worried about bringing something. But, she thought that she should apologize to this Mr. Brendon for making Myungoso late - even if she wasn't the reason.

Yooa shook her head as she looked at him. "I come and go all the time even before she was my mom - plus this is still a pretty new dynamic between us. At first, she was just my dad's girlfriend and I saw her as a friend and someone I looked up to - so now her being someone who is responsible for me is a bit odd or not something we've worked out yet," Yooa reached up and scratched the side of her head. "But, honestly, I think our relationship is still something like very close friends," Yooa answered, not helping herself as she patted his head. She couldn't help but chuckle hearing that her being his friend was the best gift that she could bring his mother. "You? Getting into trouble - what trouble is that? Sneaking around into the unrestricted section at the library?" Yooa couldn't help but as she booped his nose. She knew that trouble was probably around his bloodlust - but she didn't want to bring that up. Plus, she liked teasing him - it was fun and easy.

She turned to look outside of the window as the train slowed to a stop. She quickly packed up the rest of her sweets and snacks, giving them to Rui to carry and hold for now. She heard the announcement that they had arrived in the courts which did make her stomach flip-flop and her heart raced for a moment before she in a breath then let it out. She turned to him, shaking her head. She followed behind him as they made their way out of the train and into the station that was used by travelers to the courts. "No, I am okay! I like new places," Yooa smiled at him as she reached out taking his hand again no hesitation in linking their fingers together once they had stepped off of the station.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ Rays of sun shine now peeking through the window as the train went over a huge body of water through the connecting bridge. The waters shinning as if millions of diamonds laid perfectly over it. Myungsoo on the other hand, scoot closer to Yooa, head resting on her shoulders. Despite being far from direct sunlight, the young vampire's body depleted of energy - a rare condition since his transformation. "Oh no." Myungsoo gasped, shaking his head. "Home is gloomy with dark clouds covering the sky. At this time, it'll be dark. Unless it is summer season where the sun shines brighter and earlier then it will difficult for me to go home at this time." He said tugged his bottom lip. "Please don't be weary. Mr. Brendon already awaits our arrival." Myungsoo added on and chuckled. "He'll be annoyed that I'm late but don't mind him." the train went past the mountains of Magnus Mines. He snapped a shock look at her and laughed imagining the royal guards huffing and puffing trying to catch the fairy. "Won't your mother worry you're gone for this long?" He clicked his tongue, gently poking Yooa's cheek. "It'll be ideal to bring something. But at the moment, being my friend probably is the best gift you can give my mother. She is frustrated that I always get in trouble."

As the train slowed to a stop, a sign flickered to life, illuminated by pale blue light. "Welcome to Lioncourt De Sovereign.” Someone announced. This was their first destination, a secluded station that served as a gateway for travelers to the vampire kingdom. Myungsoo stepped off, trying to maintain his composure amidst the striking charms of the station. "Nervous?" He asked the fairy with him.

@† Kim Myungsoo Myungsoo had done nothing to Yooa to make her afraid of him or anything like that - plus, she had been are more scarier people and things than him. Plus, she was banking on the fact that they were friends and maybe she wouldn't do anything to make him upset or mad at her to do something that would make her afraid of him. Yooa glanced over to where he was looking, see that the sun was already shining brightly. It made her worried that it would make it hard for them to get to his home if it was already this bright out. "Will it already being light out make it hard to get you home when we get to the courts? Is something we can do to protect you while we get to your parent's home?" Yooa asked him as she bit her lip for a second. She then nodded as he spoke about his sister and that those people that he mentioned were helpers of the house. "Okay, call them mister or miss - got cha," Yooa answered. "We do have them at the castle - but they really protect Bambi more than myself. Plus, I usually lose them after running around so much - they can't keep up with me. And, they are kind of annoying - they baby me and I don't like that," Yooa mumbled with a nod. She made another sugar cookie sandwich as they talked. Yooa then turned to Myungsoo. "Your parents won't be upset or offended that I am not bringing anything as a gift when I come. Isn't that like a respect or common thing to bring some thing to someone's home when you first go there?" Yooa asked, scratching her cheek.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ The young vampire had no explanation for his uncontrollable blood lust or the triggers. He is a recipient of the Dark Kiss and unfortunately for the man he is blood bonded by his older brother - a raging lunatic. His father may believe that their powers can be transferable, however he fears that Myungsoo would also adapt his predecessors traits. Despite Yooa's innocent actions, Myungsoo has a long way towards his prime years to give a proper reason for his desire. He was grateful that the fairy does not fear him like those who would run away upon seeing his crimson eyes. The murmur ceased. Concerned citizens already moved on. The sun reigned across the horizon, gracing the mortals and immortals alike with its warmth. Myungsoo briefly stared at it, but his sight remained sensitive. He nodded, "Yes I do have a sister. They never talk about her but I heard the helpers whispering nonsense." He pulled on his ear and hummed. "Ah yes. They are keepers of the house, in which, I should be addressing. them. Please do not call them lackey or servants, only members of the family can. They might take it as an insult. Mister and Miss should suffice. You live with royalties, don't you have guards patrolling around?" He asked.

@† Kim Myungsoo Yooa didn't think that her leaning over him would be a problem or trigger his blood lust. She was just excited about getting candy and sweets - one of the biggest food groups in her life. Flying and using her powers burned a lot of calories so she ate a lot. She blinked as she watched the ladies whisper and murmur as she gave them a look before turning back to Myunsoo, smiling at him as she ate some of her sweets. She rolled her eyes at the people voicing their concern for her as she shook her head not believing that he would hurt her. Besides they were friends now - plus she understood that he was still working on controlling his blood lust. She smiled as she looked at him, nodding. "Of course, I will get you blood anytime that you need it," Yooa answered as she unwrapped another turkish delight. She understood that they could eat but she also knew that it wouldn't be good if they ate a lot of human food. She didn't want him to get sick so she didn't offer him any of her candy. "Got it, Lord and Lady Choi. You have a sister? That's cool," She answered then tilted her head once he mentioned lackey. "What is a lackey? I don't know what that is - are they like maids or servants?" She asked.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ He observed the exchanged, not moving a muscle till Yooa settled back to her seat. “Strange.” He thought for holding her hand didn’t bother him, nor trigger him that badly. The ladies murmur still clear in his head as they move along the next carriage to serve the rest of the passengers. Few voices expressed their concern for the young lady with him, yet the witnesses just talked amongst themselves. Myungsoo on the other hand, lowered his head, patting his cheeks in hopes to calm his desire to drink her blood. “You’ve already got me few bags of blood.” He replied, putting his hands up. “But surely, I won’t decline the offer.” The young vampire stole a glance at his friend, she is enjoying the delightful treats that once he would die for to have when he was human. “Oh we do enjoy an occasional food. But it is nothing compared to—you’re aware of that. Let’s see.” He hummed, feeling his jaw relaxed. “Father is Choi Hae-il and mother Choi Sun Hee. But they prefer to be called Lord and Lady Choi. I have a sister who I haven’t met yet. And the family’s lackey Brendon and Eva. Besides those people, the rest are not really worth remembering.”

@† Kim Myungsoo He wasn't wrong about her room looking like that - adding tons of flowers, fairytale books, stuffed animals, and of course tons of clothes, shoes, and other things. Beyond gardening and collecting cute things, Yooa really liked dressing up, dressing in fashion, and dressing in clothes. She loved dressing up and putting together different outfits - it was fun for her. Yooa blinked as she said that they would take the whole lot - eh? Really, they would take the whole cart. She didn't think that she could eat all of that. "That's okay - I'll just take this - what I mentioned before," Yooa took what she had asked for. She made sure that only what she had taken was what they would be paying for. She took the sweets that she wanted and his money pouch back from the lady as she leaned back into her seat. She smiled at him as she handed him his money pouch back. "Thank you for buying me some sweets and candy - next time I will buy you some blood wine or blood drinks," Yooa opened up the tin of Turkish delights and ate one. "I wish you could have some of this - they are really good. Anyway, when we get to your home - is there any important people's names that I should know ahead of time? Like your mom or your dad?" Yooa asked him as she ate two more pieces of the sweet then started looking through the bag of taffies. She opened some of the taffies white in color probably vanilla and marshmallow flavored and pulled out two sugar cookies - making a taffy and cookie sandwich. She took a bite humming happily to herself. "Yum, yum, yum," She hummed to herself Not even realizing her being that close again would make him freeze or put them in another position that might end up in an accident that neither of them wanted to happen.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ In his mind, he pictured her room to be colourful, filled with shiny, sparkly things that one kept for years. He tried not to laugh at the thought but was soon cut off by her body so close to his. The thumping of her heart speaking louder at the young vampire. It is like a hypnotic melody that draws him when her neck pan into his view. His jaw rigid, sharp fang growing by the second as he leaned forward. The instinct of a killer staring at the large vein that serves as a channel to supply a large sum of blood to her brain. The hot yet sweet scent overpowers his will to remain unmovable. It is as if a of rose asking to be noticed. Inching forward, he opened his mouth but a lady gasped and pointed at his direction. Yooa turned to look at him, he froze, blinking. "He--re." He cleared his throat, giving his purse to the one attending the sweet treats.
"But sir, this is a lot." The woman said after seeing the amount of money inside the purse. He waved his hand and said, "Pardon me, but please give the lady what she desires. Or better yet, we'll take the whole lot."

@† Kim Myungsoo Yooa glanced over Myungsoo's shoulder as she looked out of the window watching the sky turn colors. She hoped that they made it to the courts before it got too bright and would bother Myungsoo. She turned her gaze and attention back to him as she smiled. "Yay, i would love to show you the summit and the castle - it will be so much fun!" She answered as she leaned on him a bit, hopping in her seat and thinking about showing him around the summit and the castle. Also, maybe even prosing when he did to have that sleepover that they talked about before. Yooa shook her head. "It's okay - no big worries," Yooa smiled at him. Yooa watched as he leaned his head out and smiled as the sweets the trolly was pushing. She leaned up and leaned over him to see what was on the cart - her chest inches from his face as she beamed at the sweets. "Uh, can I have some sugar cookies, some Turkish delights, sweet taffys, and some chocolate chip cookies?" Yooa smiled as she turned to look at him. Sweets and candies were like her main food group so ordering this much was light for her.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ As the sun slips below the horizon the soft muted colours of twilight begin to climb the western sky. Now comes the slowing down time, those long drawn-out moments between day and night, work and rest. It's time to sit, to think, to be. In those moments of imperfect clarity he foresee the shadow of this day. Myungsoo shifted far from the window in preparation for the light that will later on graced the land. The young vampire only hoped that they arrived safely - not him being subjected to the harsh rays of the sun. "I won't have trouble visiting you then." He said looking forward to travel to the summit and see where Yooa currently lives. "That's silly of me. Of course." He sheepishly laughed, rubbing his nape. Myungsoo stick his head out and noticed two ladies already going around pushing a cart filled with goodies. The young man let goes of the fairy's hand to grab few coins from his pocket. When the cart stopped next to him, Myungsoo greeted the ladies as they returned it warmly. "Which ones do you like?"

@† Kim Myungsoo ( lol, rui is a little robot dragon ))

Yooa gaze had turned to look out of the window as she had never taken this train track to the court before - so they changed to the more everglade forests and the sudden twilight landscape was something that she had never seen before - so her eyes sparkled at the new landscape taking it all in. She would have never traveled out this way if it weren't for Myungsoo bringing her out here so she was happy that he had invited her this way. She was also very excited to see the different flowers and plants that this land that wasn't in her native land. Her fingers stayed curled around his own hand as she turned her gaze back to him as he spoke. Yooa tilted her head to side as she thought about it then nodded. "Yeah, that sounds about right - the summit and meadows aren't far from the court just a bit farther out," Yooa then giggled a bit. "Rui doesn't need to eat - he's a robot. I usually just have to charge him every once in a while," She informed him as she thought about a snack that would be easy to eat on the train. "Hm, do you think that they would have some cookies or candy? Something easy to eat on the train would be fine - if not, then I can wait until later," Yooa told him.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ The moment the train began to move, the scenery outside transformed into a blur of colours that twisted and turned, a vivid blend of forest greens and twilight blues. Myungsoo smiled, his eyes wide as he marvelled at the landscapes passing by—each more enchanting than the last as if it was the first time. Maybe it is because the fairy is with him that he can truly appreciate this ride on his way home. So, despite few sore eyes turning to see a vampire and a fairy, Myungsoo never let go of Yooa’s hand. “Ah…sounds like a bit of travel. But it shouldn’t be that far from our realm then.” The vampire commented, brimming excitement because of this information. “Are you hungry?” Myungsoo asked, leaning forward pointing at the owl. “How about Rui?”

[post deleted by owner]

@† Kim Myungsoo Yooa smiled back at him, wanting to poke one of his fangs to see how sharp that they were. But, of course, that was part of him so she couldn't just poke it, plus she figured her bleeding wouldn't be good for either of them so she kept her hands to herself. She stayed by Myungsoo's side as they made their way to the train station, holding his hand and not letting go. She had ridden the train a few times - not too many. It was usually just going back to the castle, to the fields, or around heleo that she mainly stayed in. This would be her first time really outside of places that she knew like the back of her hand. She stood next to him while they were in line to get tickets. She had some gold coins in her hand to help pay for her ticket, but Myungsoo had already gotten their tickets. She did slip a couple of gold coins in his jacket pocket knowing that he probably wouldn't take her money even if she had offered to pay him back.

Yooa had always wondered what the courts were like since her mom was previously from there and was a vampire. She never talked about it with her since it didn't seem that important for their relationship or that important in general for Yooa to know about. That was a part of Bambi that would never affect how she saw the other. She also hoped that the older wouldn't be upset about her visiting a place that did harbor not-so-great memories for the other. She couldn't help but chuckle glancing over to Myungsoo and seeing him being excited to get on the train and head home. She wondered if she wasn't there with him would he still be excited about going home?

"I know, this isn't my first time riding the train," Yooa quickly followed him on the train. Rui kept himself perched on Yooa's shoulder the whole time, simply scanning their surrounding as they walked. She followed behind him glancing around at the more finer carriages and seats that were around them. She usually was in the back of the train where the other slaves had to ride or wasn't really paying attention to where she sat. She sat down next to him, moving Rui from her shoulder to her lap as they sat down. "That's not that long really, the meadows is a bit longer than that. The summit is a lot longer than an hour from here. She pulled up her legs in her chair to sit in a criss-cross formation, leaning back in her seat. She also hadn't let go of his hand either.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥✔ Myungsoo smiled, his fangs glimmering in the dim light. “You are right.”
And so it was decided. They ventured through the streets of the Central until they reached an old, train station, its platform overgrown with ornate details, large windows and decorative details of arches and turrets.Myungsoo learned that this train was not just any train—it was a mist powered transport that connected the realms. He glanced at Yooa, lining up at the ticket booth. A woman with a laced hairdress greeted them. Myungsoo gave four gold coins and said, “two tickets to Lioncourt De Soverie.” The woman nodded giving him the tickets.

As they waited at the platform, Myungsoo was thrumming with excitement and trepidation, a shimmering train appeared, its carriages cloaked in shadows yet glimmering within. It came to a gentle stop, the doors opening with a soft sigh of ancient wood.

"Quickly now, Yooa!" Myungsoo urged, leading her into the nearest carriage, which was draped in velvet and filled with the scent of fine perfume. They settled into seats that appeared woven from the very fabric of night itself. “Home is like an hour away. Fives stops to be exact.” He said, shifting on his seat trying to get comfortable.

“Thank you for riding the Central Coin Bullet train, and as we prepare for departure, please take your seats.”

I turn my eyes to the gentle tapping of the rain on the glass, soon accompanied by the rolling belt of lighting. The wind whimpers across the outside of the cart that didn’t compare to the growling crack of thunder roaring overhead. ‘Hi there, ladies, gents, and folks. “We are now departing from Mystique Rainforest, and the next stop will be Undead Wastelands which we’ll be approaching in 15 minutes.”

I just really wanted to get home and back to the castle, to Yooa. I should’ve known better than to hire an Airship pilot instead. Trains never interested me, but if only I had known what awaited me tonigh ;I probably would’ve never got on in the first place.
