Ghomin's POV
My crimcrim is truly beautiful.
Whenever I see her gentle face, I just want to stop this mission.
I don't want to hurt my crimcrim Soon, I told them I wanted to quit.
My crimcrim is now asleep.
I hugged her tightly; I don't want to leave her side either, maybe I won't be able to handle it.
I stared at my beautiful crimcrim's face.
I admit it, I love her now.
I never thought I'd fall for her. It's like all my problems disappear when I see her goddess-like face, but I know it's not possible.
I kissed her.
I don't want to leave her side If there really is a god, why must this happen to my first love?
I hugged her again... My crimcrim seems to be dreaming. I wiped the tear off her cheek.
"Please don't leave me," she said and hugged me tighter.
I was stunned and looked at my crimcrim's face again.
I'm sorry, crimcrim
"Let's go, we need to go back there," I looked at Ghosper and Gholyx and then at crimcrim again.
I slowly released her embrace, stood up, and kneeled on the bed.
"Remember, no matter how far I am, I'll always stay by your side... my crimcrim, please take care of yourself," I whispered and kissed her on the forehead.
I covered her with a blanket and left a letter stuck to the pillow she bought for me.
"You love her," said Ghosper.
"Yeah, I love her so much that I need to leave her..." and I smiled weakly.
"I think they will be gone for about three days..." Ghosper said.
"I don't want to leave Drellyn... I love her too... I'll talk to Dad and beg him to stop," Gholyx said.
"I love Shine too... she shines my dark world, I hope Dad will understand us," Ghosper added.
I changed back to my true form, yeah. That was all fake.
We are not ghost guardians, we never were ghost guardians and about the curse thing... that's a lie.
Everything was planned, from the moment they met us, that was planned too.
Our white hair reverted to jet black with red strands.
Our ash-gray eyes reverted to the feared red eyes.
"Let's go... we don't have much time."
And we left.

Crimson's POV
I'm awake, wait, where is Ghomin?
I saw a letter on his pillow.
"I'll be gone."
I was stunned.
He left me
I looked at the clock.
It's two o'clock.
Knock Knock
The two of them entered.
"They're gone," Xian said.
"Xian, I don't feel good about this," I said.
"Could it be that the curse has been lifted and they've returned to their real bodies?" Xian asked.
"If that happens... they will not remember us," Sharlene said sadly.
.
.
A long silence.
"Guys, it's 3 PM... let's go" Xian said, and the two of them went out.
Please, Ghomin, I'll wait for your return, I will accept your reason
Just please come back to me!
I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU GHOMIN!
"You're so stupid, Crimson! Sob He was right beside you and you let him go! You're so stupid!"
I buried my face in the pillow and cried.
I really am stupid!
I wiped my tears.
I slung my backpack over my shoulder.
I feel so weak, it's like half of my body is missing.
Why now?!
" Our eyes are puffy," Sharlene said weakly and clearly faking it.
Oh yeah, they cried too but Xian was quiet not the usual her.
The three of us sighed and walked towards the gate.
They still weren't there, it was early because the meeting was supposed to be at 4 PM.
I bowed my head while kicking stones as I waited for them.
I was losing hope, I could feel the sadness in Xian and Sharlene too.
"My crimcrim! I'll always stay by your side... promise! "
"My crimcrim is so cute! I'm the only one who can call you crimcrim, okay? My crimcrim!"
"My crimcrim, if the time comes that I have to leave you, what will you do?"
"My crimcrim, would you be mad if you found out that everything was a lie?"
"My crimcrim, always take care of yourself and remember that even if I'm not by your side, I'm in your heart..."
Ghomin's words flashed through my mind.
He really left me...
"Where are those triplets?!" I looked up, they were already here.
HM wasn't there, they probably didn't see us.
We waited for about an hour here.
I didn't even feel like joining in.
"They are the ones who are weighing us down! And they're the ones who are late!" Cheska said.
"Calm down girls maybe the triplets backed out " Prince Poltair said.
"We'll leave them here if HM arrives and they're still not here," Ace said.
"Why did they leave us?" I heard Xian whisper.
They were getting impatient....
We decided to just forget everything.
From the beginning, there really was no place for love for being like us I fell in love with the wrong person at the wrong time.
We stayed here for a long time.
"Okay, it looks like everyone is here," HM said smiling as he arrived.
"HM, are you blind?! The triplets aren't here!" Cuesha said.
"What are you talking about, Cuesha? They've been here for more than an hour Hey! Why are you all in the dark?!" HM noticed us.
We walked towards them while they were shocked.
"Y-you've been there for a while?" Cheska asked.
"You didn't even notice, it's only 3 PM, they've been here since 5 PM," HM said.
They looked at each other and couldn't look at us.
"Okay guys, your mission is to find out what your mission is," HM said.
"What?! Wait, that's confusing, HM," Cuesha said.
"Explain it, HM," Prince Ander said.
"Hahahaa I'm just teasing you... here it is,
You will all go to Laprisiana Village. It will take you two days to travel there, and the next step is for you to find out what your mission is when you get there... hahahaa You can do it!" HM said with a grin.
He created a portal at our feet, causing us to fall through it.
We landed on our feet while they landed on the ground.
I looked around.
We were in a forest.
"Ouch! Stand up guys! You're heavy!" Dia said.
"s**t! Hey, Spade! Get off me!" Ace said.
"The hell! Ander! Stand up!" Prince Xander said.
They stood up and looked around.
I looked at my hand when it glowed.
The same happened to Xian and Sharlene.
"We will come out, Ms. Crimson, as guardians, we need to accompany you on your mission," Rodexia said.
"What the hell! Your tattoo is talking!" Kurt said.
"Let us out, masters!" Bluperrin said in unison.
"Okay," Xian said.
We placed our hands on the ground, and it glowed.
Rodexia came out in a wolf form.
Our companions cursed.
"What the heck is that?!" Prince Xander said.
"F*ck!" Ace said.
"Damn!" Prince Poltair said.
"Waaah! How cute!" Cuesha squealed and tried to touch Rodexia.
Rodexia got angry, making Cuesha step back.
"Oh, she doesn't like you, girl. By the way, she's my guardian. Meet Rodexia," I said weakly.
"This is Bluperrin, my guardian," Xian said.
"Ychesia," Sharlene said.
"Bluperrin, just fly around," Xian said.
They transformed into eagles.
"Yes, masters," they said and flew up.
"Cool..." Ace said.
"So what do you know about Laprisiana Village?" Cheska asked.
We just listened, we didn't know anything about it.
"Laprisiana is a village of healers. It will take us two days to get there: one day in the forest and another day in the town, then Laprisiana Village," Spade said.
"That HM is really confusing! What could our mission be there?!" Cuesha said.
"Hey! Don't be slow, we'll leave you here!" Dia said.
They walked on, while we, Xian, and Sharlene looked at each other and then started walking out of the forest.
"Weird Be careful , this forest isn't ordinary," Xian said.
"I noticed too... we should warn them," Sharlene said.
"Hey guys!!" I called, but they ignored me.
Dia and the others looked back and then turned away again.
"Hey!" Xian called.
"Shut up! If you have nothing to contribute, just stay silent!" Ace yelled at us.
"We don't need help from the three of you," I heard Prince Xander say.
They started walking again, completely unaware of the lurking danger.
"Tsk. Tsk. It's like they're really mad at us," I said, looking at their backs.
Kurt was holding a map, and they were using it.
"I think we're lost s**t! How unlucky," Kurt muttered.
"Uhm-"
"Don't talk, Red, you have nothing to contribute here! " Prince Ander snapped at me.
So, I just stayed quiet.
I knew a way out of this forest, though.
They huddled together, discussing things.
" They treating us a burden " Sharlene said
"Let's climb up the tree and let them be, they said they don't need our help," Xian suggested.
We walked past them.
There was a large, tall tree in front of them.
I jumped up first, followed by the other two.
"What are you doing up there?!" Prince Poltair yelled.
"We're not here to have fun, so get down from that tree!" Dia ordered.
I extended my hand.
"If I were you, I'd climb up the tree," Xian advised.
"Grab my hand," I said.
But they swatted my hand away, so I climbed up higher.
"Suit yourself... be careful down there," I warned.
And climbed even higher.
"They really didn't sense it," Sharlene observed.
"Hahaa I can't wait to see their faces begging."
We rested there, and I closed my eyes for a moment waiting for them to scream
It's beautiful here.
"AAAAAHHHH!"
Here it comes.
We looked down.
They were slowly being swallowed by the ground.
The earth was sinking like quicksand, and they were knee-deep already.
I almost laughed when the girls hit the ground, causing their hands to sink too.
"Oh, what are you doing down there?" I asked, pretending to be clueless while smiling mockingly.
" Look at your faces," Sharlene laughed.
"You?! You knew all along, didn't you?!" Prince Poltair accused.
"Why didn't you warn us?!" Ace yelled angrily.
"Get us out of here!!" Prince Ander demanded.
"Waahh! It's eating me!," Cheska wailed.
"WE'RE SINKING!" Cuesha and Dia screamed.
"f**k this mud!" Kurt cursed.
"How can we get out of here?!" Spade panicked.
They kept moving, making their sinking faster until they were waist-deep.
"Move more and you'll sink faster," Xian warned.
They looked at us.
They were about two arms' lengths away from us.
"Get us out of here, Blue!" Dia shouted.
"Why are you just watching us?! Get us out of here!" Prince Xander demanded.
"Wow! Is that how you ask for help these days?" Sharlene said sarcastically.
"What?!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Beg for our help and you said before you didn't need us," I said, sitting on a branch and swinging my legs.
"Why should we beg?! You're not any help either! " Spade retorted.
"Poor you guys..." Xian said.
We looked at Sharlene as snakes approached her near the tree.
"Look guys. the snakes say you're being punished," Sharlene said with snakes on her head, shoulders, and some around her neck.
"Wait, why aren't they biting you?!" Prince Poltair asked.
"Hahahaa you're tickling me ah, they're nice. you guys should be afraid of what's behind you " Sharlene said.
"AAAAAAHHH!" They screamed, Dia's voice rising above the rest.
There were many snakes behind them.
I realized that snakes guarded this forest.
They were mythical creatures and responsible for the sinking ground.
"P-please, get us out of h-here," Cheska said weakly.
"What? Did you say something, Cheska? I think I went deaf," I said mockingly.
"H-help us!" they said weakly.
"What? Louder, please" Xian demanded.
" I don't think i hear anything " I said
"PLEASE HELP US! " they screamed and I laughed , Look at those faces
I dropped down and landed on my feet.
I wouldn't sink here because I could control it.
I walked toward them.
"Wait, why aren't you sinking?!" Prince Ander asked.
"Are you messing with us?! Are you behind this?!" Cuesha demanded.
"Tsk. Do I look like that kind of Firisian?" I said.
They were now shoulder-deep, with their hands raised.
I sat in front of Prince Poltair.
"Do you really need our help?" I asked, looking at Sharlene who was walking.
She was stepping on the snakes, so she wouldn't sink.
"It doesn't seem like it," Xian said, walking like me and not sinking.
Sharlene was holding snakes.
Now, Cheska and the others were surrounded by snakes.
"R-remove these snakes, please," Dia begged almost crying.
"Ahhh! Snake go away from me, please help us," Kurt pleaded.
"Hey, little snakes, the guardians of this forest... they've realized their mistakes and they're asking for forgiveness for hurting your fellow snakes earlier," Sharlene said.
"Sssssssss!"
"They won't understand you! " Cuesha said.
"You... You won't understand them but Mother Snake says they forgive you," Sharlene said to Cuesha face
Mother Snake appeared in front of Cheska and the others, causing their eyes to widen.
"Ssssssss!" Mother Snake hissed.
"Next time, don't harm snakes that aren't bothering you... your actions caused significant damage," Sharlene conveyed.
"You understand them?!" Ace asked.
"Hayst! You're so slow, obviously," Sharlene replied.
The snakes left, but they were still sinking.
"They forgave us, right?! Why are we still sinking?!" Prince Xander asked.
"Mother Snake said you should find a way out of there yourselves, or you'll be swallowed by the ground," Sharlene said.
"Waaahh! Get us out of here!" Cuesha cried.
"What is the magic word?" Xian asked.
"PLEASE!!! "
Hahaa This is Fun!
