That night everything was dark. A thin white mist covered the cold forest. The small twigs on the ground were sharp, making the feet of the young man who walked on them hurt and bleed. A small moan was heard from a girl who felt her body feverish, as her calf began to swell from the wound caused by the sharp stone scratches.
"What will happen to us? Will we die?" asked the girl in a low voice.
"You will live, Yoona. I will make sure of it." said the young man determinedly. His energy was almost gone, his big wolf body had now turned into a human body. His running speed was also starting to decrease. Now, the man could only hope that his energy would be enough, at least until they arrived at the place. The misty castle.
"Intruders! What are you doing? What are you doing in our territory!" two girls came carrying lanterns, their eyes bulging with vigilance.
"I beg you, protect her. Take this magic crystal, take it as my payment and sincerity!" the young man hurriedly begged after finding the two castle residents caught them inside the castle territory. His body was already weakened, he did not wait for an answer from the two people, then just left. he ran away from the castle, heading into the dark, lightless forest.
-The Hidden Five-
Everything has a hidden mystery, and they are there for a reason.
...
How does it feel to be a different creature... to have to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing world? Standing amongst the crowd, as if they were the same.
"Yoona! We're coming!" in the middle of the rain that was so heavy that people didn't dare to come out for fear of getting soaked. Yoona, standing to take shelter at the haltebus, smiled and waved as she saw her four friends coming. They, whose hair didn't even move in the wind, walked so casually under the rain while the rain that fell on them bounced off and not a single bit of water hit them.
''Come here! I've cast magic around you!" said the girl with the sweet smile named Aluna, who stretched out her hand for the girl to join. The girl named Yoona stretched her hand out, and the rainwater completely missed her. They then walked away, laughing casually while people were freezing, drinking a glass of hot chocolate in their homes and waiting for the rain outside that never stopped.
"It's a good thing we have Lune, so we don't have to be afraid of the rain!" one of them babbled while jumping up and down merrily. Nudging their friend whom he had called Lune earlier.
"Don't be childish!" the others grumbled as the water around them shook as Lune almost fell over from Bella's nudge.
"Hmph!" Bella snorted in annoyance, starting to sulk.
"You guys just calm down. As long as I'm around, the rainwater won't dare touch you!" the girl who had just been called Lune smiled as she balanced her body. Fiddling with her fingers, she cast magic on the rainwater so that it would turn around and not wash over them.
The five girls walked on the quiet street while talking and laughing. Their crisp laughter could be heard breaking the silence between the sound of the rain falling heavily.
Now they arrived at a lonely, pitch-black forest. The five girls stepped into an old, unkempt castle. The castle looked so creepy, both from the outside and the inside. However, that didn't stop the five girls. They pulled one of the books off the shelf, and suddenly a secret door appeared from behind it.
Krak!
As the door opened, a clean, luxurious room filled with modern furniture appeared. This scene was in stark contrast to the dirty and dusty castle before.
"Lune, ask for some water! My basil tree is about to die!" pleaded a girl anxiously. Lune then stuck out his finger, and instantly water gushed over the basil tree until it looked fresh again.
The five girls were not ordinary people, in fact, they were not even human. These five beings from different worlds lived under the same roof, and tried to blend in with human life as if they weren't foreign.
They had lived on earth for hundreds of years, accustomed to supporting and protecting each other. The five of them: Aluna the Water Princess, Yoona the Vampire, Suzy the Angel, Bella the Galactic outsider, and Liza, a former demon.
They have different pasts, and the names they use today are not their real names, but pseudonyms they use to interact in the human world.
Aluna or Luna, often called Lune. Her real name is Aquaria De Atlantic. She used to be a princess of the water kingdom of Atlantis. One day her kingdom was destroyed by a storm, and she was dragged by the waves to the human world. Meanwhile, her kingdom still doesn't know what its fate is.
Atlantis is now just history, for him and for humanity. No one knew exactly where it was, only that it was a mysterious island, with no idea what it looked like.
When her kingdom was destroyed, Luna was stranded in a fishing village, until she met Suzy and Liza, and stayed with them.
The second is Yoona, or with the real name Yvloona Theore. She is the only princess of the Vampire kingdom, the Odora clan. Five hundred years ago, there was a war between the Vampires of the Evil clan and the Odora clan. Not to mention the Wolf nation that suddenly also attacked, leaving the Odora clan's Vampire kingdom in ruins.
Many of his family perished, his mother asked him to leave the kingdom, and entrusted him to his uncle. But on the way, his uncle was attacked by Werewolf poison. It made her thirsty for Vampire flesh and blood. Fortunately, Yoona was saved by a young Werewolf, who then took her away to Liza and Suzy's Castle.
Then the third is Seretta Lewzy or commonly called Suzy. She used to be an angel in charge of recording the last request, before someone dies. But one day he made a mistake, which is considered a great sin. Then he was brought down to earth and he changed his form, resembling an eight-year-old girl. Until she was adopted by a lonely human single mother.
And the fourth is Liza, she has the real name Lilith Agrant. She used to be one of the elite members, from the demon kingdom's army. Until he later felt uncomfortable, and did not like the way the devil worked, which he thought was too cruel and had no conscience.
Then he openly opposed and said he didn't like the way the devil worked. Until finally he was expelled from the demon kingdom, and he descended to earth in the form of a nine-year-old child.
Then coincidentally adopted by a human mother, who also adopted Suzy. Not long after their mother died, Liza decided to invite Suzy to live in an old castle that she accidentally found in the middle of the forest.
The last is Rubella Ecra or often referred to as Bella. She is a galactic being who comes from a planet called Verigo.
One day her kingdom was attacked by dark energy that made her planet shrouded in fear, and suffering. Until finally he accidentally found a magical portal, which brought him down to earth. And by chance he fell in the backyard of the Castle, owned by Liza and Suzy. And until now he still doesn't know what the condition of his planet is.
They live together and live life like normal humans. Like going to and from school together. Girls with different pasts, want to live a new life by blending in the human world.
"Suzy, I think we should add another pot of water to that noodle stew, to make it taste better!" Luna pleaded with sparkling eyes.
"Lune, I know you really like noodle soup, but we only boiled two packs of instant noodles, and you already put in a pot of water, earlier. Do you want to add more?" Suzy couldn't believe her eyes.
"Hey! Where are my frozen pies?" Liza asked, because she couldn't find the milk pie that she put in the refrigerator, this morning.
"Umm... I just heated it up in the microwave!" said Yoona as she took the bowl containing the pie from the microwave.
"Why did you heat it up? And didn't leave any for me, either!" Liza was upset at Yoona.
"Never mind Liza, you just eat my ice cream in the refrigerator, I know you're allergic to hot food." Suzy suggested, while devouring instant noodles without the sauce, because Luna had asked for all the sauce.
"Mmm... This is so good, what seasoning did you add, earlier? I feel like crying, huhu..." Suzy held back her tears that were about to come out because of her shock, the girl would cry easily if she ate food that she thought was too good.
"That's right, it's delicious. I bought it at the supermarket this afternoon, if I'm not mistaken the name is MSG!" Luna replied enthusiastically.
"Hey! You took my basil plant fertilizer again, huh?" Asked Yoona while ruffling her waist glaring at Bella. It was the umpteenth time she found her plant fertilizer sack empty when she was about to use it.
"Yes, I took some earlier. My chili plants rarely bear fruit these days." Bella replied indifferently while spraying her chili plants. She wished she could have magic to fertilize plants.
Since coming down to earth, they had developed their own appetites.
Luna likes to eat too much noodle soup the most. Liza who is allergic to hot food, Suzy who will cry if she eats too delicious food. Yoona the lover of basil leaves, and Bella the queen of spicy food. Even her lunchbox contains chili, everything.
And they live happily living their daily lives like humans. But they knew all this would not last long. Even so they are ready to face whatever will happen, later.
