Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting

After a few hours, the star was gone. Seuntak feels bad seeing that he probably caused all these problems.

-Do you think it will get better? - Seuntak asks apprehensively.

-I don't know, but I hope so-Xiang responds obscurely, a little upset about their situation now.

Seuntak and Xiang stay quiet for a while, hours pass.

-How many hours are we going to stay here? - Seuntak asks in a huff.

- We can go now. - Xiang speaks in such a way that it seems like he hadn't even sat in a dark place for hours.

Seuntak accompanies Xiang to an unknown place.

-Here we are. - Xiang points to a large trunk with glass windows. They walk to the entrance, entering an elevator made of branches and magic.

-Is this your home? - Seuntak asks a little intrigued.

-And yes. - Xiang seems more serious than usual.

Seuntak waits for the elevator to go up, when they arrive at the desired floor, the elevator doors open and they go straight to a door. Carved and carefully crafted with branches. They enter the door, Seuntak looks at everything around him.

-Your house is very beautiful. - Seuntak speaks while touching the chairs and other furniture.

- Thanks, I guess - Xiang looks a little sad.

You could hear screams coming from below, it sounded like people running away from something.

-Help! - The voices screamed.

Xiang soon got up and went to look at the window. The screams were coming from sorcerers being chased by lifeless wizards.

- There is someone asking for help, we should help - Seuntak says apprehensively.

- Even if we go, there won't be time. In fact, we are wasting time now. - Xiang looks at the sorcerers without any intention of helping them.

-But, what are you saying? They are in danger. - Seuntak's breathing becomes shallower, barely able to breathe.

The screams increase, it is possible to hear the magic being released, but instead of seeming harmless, it seems to want to kill.

- Peng-Xiang, please. - Seuntak looks desperate. Xiang looks at him with a contemptuous expression.

Xiang walks to a wall with a wand and throws it through the window, hitting one of the sorcerers. Which ends up exploding. Seuntak's eyes widen.

- What is this? - Seuntak seems to be at a loss for words to describe what he just saw.

Sorcerers also don't know how to react. They leave their own wands.

Seuntak looks at Xiang apprehensively. Wanting to say something.
