@jeongguk ₂ dazed.

things happened too fast that linong barely even registered. as quickly as the man came did he leave, being dragged away after attempting to run off. it was as if linong was frozen on his spot for a while, too shocked to even move. only when his butler helped him up did he snap back into reality, slowly getting up from the ground.

"are you alright, master?" linong hears him ask, the worry that had been evident on his face etched into the creases of his forehead. he could only quietly nod to the question, eyes glued to the direction where the spinel had been as the figures and their voices have gone further and further away from his line of sight.

it's obvious that the spinel is a runaway, but he's so beautiful. his eyes that reminded him so much of the moon- just like his pendant his parents have given him. linong reaches out for it, but he ends up grasping on air instead. worried, he checks once again only to look up at his butler helplessly, not listening to what he was saying at all.

"i'm sorry about that, we'll make sure he doesn't bother you again, sir." he hears this man speak. linong barely hears his butler introduce the man, the feeling of panic just keeps rising up each second, checking the spot around him, hoping that his pendant was just accidentally pulled away.

to no avail, the pendant is nowhere to be found. "my pendant. it's gone."

memories from his youth come back rushing, the day his parents have given him his necklace was on a full moon too. it's the only thing he has left and he couldn't bear to have it gone.

has the spinel taken his pendant from him?

-

"would you want me to take it for you, sir?" the slave merchant spoke as he unlocked the door to the chamber open. it would probably be better if he didn't, but he cannot afford to lose the pendant. shaking his head, he quietly declares that he'd go retrieve it himself.

the sight before him surprises him when he enters the chamber, however. there were spinels, many of them locked up behind bars. barely clothed, no beds or any other necessities around them. so different from how he lives his life.

disgusting. linong thinks, passing through the cells and seeing these helpless spinels.

they stop at the room right on top of the stairs, the door opening with a loud, piercing creak. only the light from outside illuminates the room that linong could barely see anything but the spinel who's kneeling right in the middle of the room.

linong takes a step inside the room, gaze meeting the spinel's. "spinel," he spoke, "are you the one who took my pendant?"

@linong Catastrophic lazulite orbs casted heavenwards, cloudless black expanse where Selene's infinite effulgence comen after a light drizzle leaving behind the pungent smell of petrichor. The star-crossed creature panted breathlessly as he dashed through the thicket, until the soles of his feet were caked with mud. Dark purple contusions around his wrists and ankles were evidences of his persistence to escape from the hellhole. Perhaps he was hallucinating because he could still hear the metallic chains echoing in his eardrums as he ran with all his might.

Until...thud-!
He lost his footing upon stepping on the flattened cobbled path and collided with something or someone, to be precise. His olfactory was blessed with a sweet floral fragrance as his gaze descended on the beauteous mien of the stranger that the runaway spinel had tackled then pinned down on the cold floor.

"Master, are you alright?"
Jeongguk peered over his shoulder, once he'd spotted a very concerned elderly man enquiring followed by the slave merchant and he immediately got up to his feet then bolted. A quick sleight of hand amid the commotion and the dark haired spinel had effortlessly extracted the male's pendant before escaping.

"Lord, we caught the spinel."

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

The narrow serpentine corridor was interrupted by a multitude of heavy doors held intact by large locks which led to a dark dungeon containing a single prison withholding more than forty spinels cramped in a tiny space. Lifeless, unfocused orbs rivetted to the floor appearing as if they were nothing more than puppets whose strings had come undone.

Alas.
Jeongguk thought, as he once again, found himself forcibly kneeled on the damp floor that smelled worse than an underground sewage, no outlets for entry of natural light or fresh air. The rusted silver shackles wrapped around his wrists, once again, lifted above either side of his head.
"It hurts like hell." His hoarse voice said as he rubbed his cheek against his shoulder, still aching from receiving a furious kick across his face. "I thought I could run away this time." He muttered, laughing mirthlessly.

Contradictory to the stygian confinement, the spinel desperate yearned for his native place, a kaleidoscopic world full of golden sunshine, primrose sands and beryl foliage.

Creak. Creak.
The door squealed eerily announcing the arrival of more strangers while Jeongguk flinched instinctively.

@jeongguk ₂ many times had his butler come to him and ask him whether it's alright for him to come to the gathering- whether he's feeling okay. linong isn't specifically a fan of things like these- noise, huge crowds and most especially fels showing their spinels off to other people. they treat those people as if they were mere accessories or trophies to show how powerful they are. it would forever be a distasteful thing for him in one reason or another. perhaps it's because that's how his parents raised him, to treat spinels just as he would other fels.

since he arrived at the gathering, linong hadn't spoken a word. not even half an hour passed and it already feels tiring that he finds himself leaving early, boarding his carriage and asking to be sent home as soon as possible despite knowing that people wanted him to stay for a bit longer- at least he thinks so. he just doesn't want to bother with it anymore, there weren't much reasons for him to stay as he was only observing all these people in the end anyway.

it had been raining when he left. the soft pitter-patters that hit the roof of the carriage have slowly quieted down halfway to his home, linong finds himself asking the carriage to stop, to which his butler reluctantly orders. to ease the worry off the older man's face, he gives him an assuring smile, a small "i'm alright, it wouldn't take a while" was said so softly, squeezing the man's hands before he takes a step outside.

linong takes his time to admire what's right in front of him, from the trees to the blue moon that shines brightly on the skies above- just like the pendant his parents gave him, the only thing he has left from his late parents.

there was rustling right by the bushes, he turns around and the next thing he knew is that there's a man pushing him down and hovering right above him. his eyes are reminiscent of the moon.

it's beautiful, so beautiful.
