Wake-up Call

After the ecstasy that I felt during the dance, Sojin led us to a door. It was an immense door made of stones with intricate patterns. It has a shimmering crystal at the center.

As Sojin pressed the crystal button, the glow of the crystal flowed down to the patterns like a stream, but something colored it green. My eyes sparkled in amusement. The door creaked as it opened.

A cozy room welcomed us. It surprised me to see something normal in their place. The tile of the floor was radiant. They placed a king-size bed at the center, and a lampshade to the left side.

“Suit yourself. Tomorrow, you need to wake up early,” Sojin said.

“Wait. May I ask why you have this kind of room?” I asked.

“We built it especially for humans.”

I gaze from side to side to look for the three pirates.

“Where are the pirates?”

“They escaped.”

“What? I didn’t notice.”

“They brought some emerald stones with them, which we forbid here.”

I saw a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
