"What??" Namjoon questioned Irene. 

"You are THE Guardian Cosmic Witch. The most powerful Cosmic Witch! There has to be a way!" Jason screamed at Irene, emphasizing her greatness. 

"Do something!!" Namjoon shouted at Irene losing the content that he was able to preserve for so long. 

"Guys, don't get hyper at Miss. Irene." Mark said trying to calm the two down. 

"What do you expect?? She is dying before us and we can't do anything!" Jason screamed back at Mark. 

"Why can you not undo this curse?" Eunwoo enquired trying to understand the situation in detail.

"It is because Jennie will never get older than her current age, the Cursed Witches gave her the curse of Youth Death and her age stops here. She will have to die and because it's not her time to die yet, the curse keeps going on, killing her endlessly until her fated death kills her or till her soul dies! No one can undo this curse." Irene explains. It took moments for everyone to comprehend this situation but Eunwoo chose to act up before any further thought.

"I am sorry, Miss Jennie." Eunwoo says as his heart ached. He walked towards her and grabbed her by her shoulders. He starts to heat her. The heat wasn't to give her body warmth but to kill her. Jennie screams; her screams echoed in this dark forest owned by the goblins. She tried to free herself from his firm grip. A tear rolled down his eyes, the pain within him crushed his soul. Was his soul affected by someone's loss or was it the guilt of killing an innocent being in front of him? Whatever it was, it was unbearable. His teary eyes met Jennie's, as her body started to thaw, killing her water aura and burning down her ice powers. This sort of death was more painful than any dagger's shot. Eunwoo's eyes were burning, the blue fire within was now controlling him.

Jason pushed Eunwoo and screamed, "Are you insane??". Eunwoo fell to the ground on his knees. Jason punched him away as his chest touched the ground. "Do not touch her! You are killing her!! I won't let that happen" he screamed furiously grabbing Eunwoo's collar. 

"I know what I am doing, I will kill her so that her soul doesn't die and therefore she does not vanish from this world forever!" Eunwoo said fuming and pushed Jason away.

"Clearly you dumb nut. Didn't you see when her head hit the stone, she didn't die forever and that's because she cannot die until her soul dies or it's fated to? You are just wasting her energy and power. You cannot change the fate." Jason said almost throwing hands with Eunwoo. Even though Jason was a playful guy, he wasn't weak when it came to strength both physically and mentally. Jason was done with Eunwoo. Eunwoo was now standing face-to-face with Jason. Both, towering over each other and throwing daggers with their piercing eye contacts; only if their eyes could shoot lasers we would be seeing two lasers brawling for dominance.

"If you can't help us find a way to help her, don't cause more trouble." Jason said pushing Eunwoo. He moved a step behind because of the force exerted on him. Before he could react they were interrupted. 

"Eunwoo, she is destined to die by you but she is not fated to die now." Miss Irene unveiled prognostication sustaining her calm.

"B-By me?" Eunwoo was taken aback by learning about the future.

There was silence once again. Namjoon looked at Jason already knowing how he'd react, he grabbed Jason's shoulder knowing he will now kill Eunwoo. Jason was a very emotionally attached person even though he was good at hiding the pain of his losses. His nature of beholding deep-seated loyalty towards his friends was certainly a rare trait. 

"W-When?" Jennie asked holding her tears, she was indeed a strong warrior who didn't fear her own death for the greater good. 

"There is a reason why humans don't know when they are destined to die, and it should remain that way." Irene said. 

"Just so you can take a sigh of relief if you dodge this curse, not anytime soon." Kai awkwardly laughed and tried to calm the tense atmosphere. "Right, Miss Irene?" he questioned her still feeling awkward. 

"Yes." she said with a straight face. 

"Well, I don't think you should have told them about the who's gonna kill who part." Kai said, Irene with a frown.

"My bad." she said bowing at him a little. "I am sorry, I couldn't help you this time but I do see a chance of your survival, work together and you might just survive." Irene said looking at Jennie. "Destiny can be played with for no one's better or worse, do not drive yourself to your extinction, bend it for your triumph." she whispered and vanished.

"Where did she go!?? What are we supposed to do now!?!?" Jason screamed in thin air. 

"She could do that here? I wasted my energy running about so much!!" Mark screamed at her gone figure "and did she just leave without answering all of our questions? What was the point of getting here?" Mark shouted.

Eunwoo fell to his knees in front of Jennie, "I am sorry, I was just trying to help you out." he said looking down, apologizing for his previous actions. Jennie bent down to his level and lifted his head so their eyes could meet. As their eyes met, Eunwoo was torn again, he couldn't stand the guilt of something he didn't even do yet. This was an emotional roller-coaster for him which was driving him restless and his actions insane, and he couldn't do anything about it. "I will not kill you, I don't plan to! I don't want to. I will just not. I cannot kill you." he hysterically cried and confessed. Jennie hugged him, "I trust you." she said as he continued to cry. He broke the hug and asked her, "Why? Why do you trust me above the prophecy?".

"I don't, but my heart does." she smiled at him and wiped his tears with her hand.

"Yeah, her stuff is not as accurate as the Simpsons you know?" Kai laughed awkwardly and everyone looked at him confused. He looked perplexed and tried to explain them about the American television show The Simpsons which were famous in the human world about having hidden prophecies and popular in GenZ lately.

"The Simpsons, the yellow mango looking, poky head cartoons...." he said eyeing the others in confusion. "Nevermind." he said sighing.

Namjoon took a deep breath before saying "We are going to find a way out of this and Jennie, you are going to be alright." he assured her with a small smile. "Buckle up guys this is not the time we get drowned in any sort of dilemma, it is time to act up wisely!" he announced. Everyone tried to cheer up and walked towards Namjoon and stood in a circle. 

"So what is the plan? What did Miss Irene tell about the curse again? The curse of Youth Death... right?" Mark questioned. 

" Hold up, if this is the curse of Youth death, which means they stole her age"  Jason said. 

"Please tell us something we aren't aware of." Mark taunted him. Jason rolled his eyes and continued.

"Then... why don't we get her the Bless of Old age? Plus they are into witchcraft, they can definitely do something about this." Jason said with a shine in his eyes as his brain started to function, contemplating the need of the hour. Jason was the smartest and one of the strongest students in his class. His knowledge wasn't a gift of the Gods, it was his diligence and hard work. 

"You mean, you want to get Jennie to be blessed by the Goddesses of the Old Age so she doesn't lose her life by the Curse of Youth Death and continues to have her original destined death as she continues to age." Kai reframed what Jason had just mentioned. 

"Exactly!" Jason snapped his fingers at him, connecting with exactly what he wanted. 

"Is that possible, Young Goblin?" Namjoon questioned Kai.

"Ugh... Yes and No?" Kai said scratching the back of his head. 

"What is that supposed to mean?" Mark questioned. 

"Well basically, the good part is, what he says, does make sense because their blessing is going to overpower the curse since they are Goddesses and will obviously be more powerful than any of us, however, the bad part is, it is not possible to get it done from them as they simply do not care about our problem. I am not quite sure how we are going to get this done from them?" Kai explained.

"Well that is true because we are literally dealing with a GOD" Mark stressed 'God' and continued, "so what's the other plan?" he looked up to see the others looking at each other with determination. 

"No- guys, you are gonna get us all killed!" Mark shouted at them holding his head. 

"Also, my lovely friend that will be three Goddesses for your unkind information", Jason added.

"Just getting WORSE. Why do I have to deal with Gods and ghosts, why not people or guardians our level." he groaned.

"Young Goblin, will you be joining us?" Namjoon asked Kai to plan his further course of action.

"Duh, of course, Jennie is my responsibility since Soobin hyung is not here." he said.

"Great. We head right now!" Namjoon announced.

"Where?" Mark asked again, really clueless which was not alike his organized self. He could never function with an unorganized environment which was crucial for a leader. 

Jason looked at Namjoon to know the team's next move. Even though Jason hated the dean for not showing justice while electing Namjoon as the leader of the Academy and not him despite his merits proving him a better option than Namjoon, as he began his journey with Namjoon and the others he realized why the dean was right with his decision to choose Namjoon over him. Jason could be the smartest person if he wanted to but he was not the best leader, and learning this reason himself, Jason knew exactly who the best leader was.

"I know where we are going to get this information. We need to get the book 'Oi ellinikés theés' which has all the information about Greek Goddesses." Namjoon said confidently. 

"Where exactly are we going to find it?" Jennie questioned. 

"The restricted area of the Academy." he said with a confident smile.

"Another heck of a problem." Jason sighed. 

"I bet, not bigger than what we have right now." Mark said sighing along. 

"Okay guys, we will first head to the Palace where there is a secret passage that connects us straight to the academy and because of the current alert all the students are sent back home for safety, so it's not going to be hard to get in their." Namjoon said leading them outside the forest. 

"How will Jennie leave the forest?" Jason questioned. 

"She is cursed into the forest because of the bound created by me so, I will create a smaller bound around her, this vague bound will trick the spell to believe she is still in the bounded region of Golbinorest and she could leave the forest, I believe, that should work?" Kai said and started to mumble his spells again. He opened his eyes within seconds. 

"If you could do that then why did you make me run outside to get Miss. Irene." Mark groaned and shouted at Kai. 

"Oops, I guess because you didn't ask me?" Kai said and hi-fived Jason laughing as Mark rolled his eyes at them punching the air in annoyance.

"So who are these Goddesses of Oldage again?" Jennie questioned Jason as they all started to head outside the forest.

"Oh right, did I mention? They are your sisters-in-law." Jason laughed confusing everyone. 

"What the heck did you say?" Jennie asked him with a question mark on her face. 

"Well, they are Jimin's sisters. He seems to be big on family, you know, just Greek God things." he continued to mess around with Jennie. 

"Good one" Kai giggled and joined Jason with his stupid jokes. 

"By the way, Jennie I wanted to ask you an important question." Jason turned to Jennie with a serious face. 

"What is it?" Jennie questioned.

"You are a royal blood and Jimin is a Greek God what would this make your kids?" Jason busted out laughing as Jennie was turning red, it was hard to figure out if it was because of being shy or angry; either way, Jason was in trouble.

"Lee Han Jason." she said grumpily. 

"Yes ma'am." Jason was startled hearing his full name after so long and stood in attention with his chin up. "Sorry ma'am" he saluted as everyone else laughed at him and continued to walk.

"What is the name of these Greek Gods?" Mark questioned. 

"The Graeae" Namjoon responded.
