"The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all."

You were awakened by a sound. A voice, to be more accurate. Your eyes opened slowly, and the first thing they focused on was eyes. "Kora," Kris murmured grimly; his hand was holding yours tightly. You stared at him for a moment before responding. "...Kris?" He smiled in relief and gave your hand a squeeze. "Thank the Spirit you're okay!" He pulled you up from the bed you were laying on and hugged you tightly.

You blinked. "What's wrong?" you asked, still not fully aware of what had happened. You looked around as he held you. You were in a cold, almost freezing room. Light blue lights glowed on the walls: fire, the most brilliant blazes of fire you had ever seen in your entire life. The iridescent glow was breathtaking. "We were, apparently, the preferred meal of a Yeako," Kris answered, releasing you. You tilted your head. "What's that?"

"This is the creature that attacked you," said an oddly familiar voice. You turned your head and gasped. It's the angel... Indeed, it was he, and by his side, was the Yeako, in a petrified state. The angel smiled brightly at you. "Thank you very much for helping us catch this one. It's been a while since we've gotten such powerful, potent poisons from its kind," he said.

"O-oh...  N-no problem," you replied, nodding slowly. You were still in shock by the appearance of the creature that had attacked you. The angel stared at you for a moment. Mmm...

Your face became hot. "Uh..."

"Hey! Get away from her!" Kai yelled angrily as he separated the both of you. Tao grabbed your hand and pulled you back, staring at Baekhyun with a murderous glare. "Yeah! I don't care if you did save our lives; don't lay a finger on her!" Luhan said angrily. Baekhyun looked at the three of them and suddenly began laughing. Kai furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you laughing about?!?" Baekhyun managed to suppress his laughter and bowed his head. "I'm sorry for my outburst; this situation is just humorous to me. Ahem, I was just asking for her name," he said, looking back over to you. "If I may?"

"Kora," you answered softly. He smiled upon hearing you. "Kora... What a beautiful name. Perfect for a beautiful girl," he complimented, giving you a bright smile. His eyes even seemed to sparkle. "Alright. You know her name; now keep your distance," Tao said, a sharpness in his voice. Baekhyun chuckled, still smiling, and nodded. "Okay, don't mind me. Oh!" he exclaimed as he motioned to someone. "Irra, my lady, please come here."

You turned around to see a beautiful woman stride up to you. You weren't sure, but when you saw her, you felt a jolt of fear wash over you. Perhaps her appearance was making you f
