Finally, it was Yunho's turn.

Jaejoong slowly turns to his final sacrifice, the still weak half druid who was recovering from having most of his arcane mana drained after being used to put up the barrier.

He weakly stumbles back and away from the vampire that was walking towards him with a bone chilling look on his face. His grey eyes looked like two crystal marbles. Bright and ice cold.

Yunho shivers and continues to back up whilst holding his side. His platinum hair appeared damp from sweat and skin a sickly pale like he would collapse soon.

"Get away from him!" Sehyoon screams out from where he stood beside Wooyoung. He tries charging forward but the prince quickly holds him back. "Let me go!" He snaps his head at Wooyoung briefly before looking back at Jaejoong who only kept up his slowly march towards a trembling Yunho. "I said get the fuck away from him!!"

Sehyoon successfully pulls away from Wooyoung but 2 more druids hold his arms back from either side of him, one of them being Ioda. "Sehyoon" The older man's deep gruff cuts through the wind around them. "Calm down-"

"-What the fuck are you talking about?!" He cuts him off as he fights in their hold, tears beading at his eyes. "Yunho! Get away from my him you son of a butch!! Let me go! He's gonna kill him" The man now bawls as he watches as Jaejoong now stood in front of Yunho who only watches him in the eyes with tears glossing up his vision as well at the sounds of his brother shouting for him on the other side of the barrier of fire.

Jaejoong raises a hand to place on the boy's cheek and Yunho flinches. Jaejoong couldn't help but smirk in amusement at his jumpiness. "You're afraid" He comments. Yunho only swallows, refusing to falter but it was proven futile when a single tears slides down his cheek.

One of the drow soldiers tries charging at one of the witches chanting in the corner of the catacomb to try and take at least one down but all it took was one glance from her and his head spins a full 180 degrees. The sickening crack echoes above the wind the next thing that follows was his body dropping to the ground, dead.

"Don't fucking touch him! Stop!!" Sehyoon wails as he fights in the men's hold. "Let me go! Please.. Y-yunho" His vision blurred with tears as he watched the Jaejoong stroked his little brother's cheek and Yunho only stared back like a frightened child.

"Sehyoon you can't go through the barrier, you could die!" Ioda shouts to him.

"I don't care!! I have to protect him" He pleads as more tears come flooding down his wet cheeks.

Jaejoong holds both sides of Yunho's face, staring him dead in the eyes. "I know you're scared and sad. You've been a great help to me Yunho. And for your help I'll make your death as painless as possible. So... sleep" He says earnestly and like a hypnotic cue word all emotion left Yunho's face and he stares at Jaejoong blankly.

No fear in his eyes. No more tears sliding down his cheeks. His lip wasn't trembling with fear anymore. He was completely stoic as he stared the vampire sovereign in the eyes.

"Good" Jaejoong smiles weakly at him. He drops one hand from the drow's cheek and then shoves it into his chest. But Yunho doesn't even flinch, just stared blankly forward. Sehyoon's faint shouting can be heard in the background but Jaejoong pays little attention to him.

He holds Yunho steadily and pulls his heart out and the drow takes in a sharp breath as he collapses in the man's arms. The gut wrenching sounds of Sehyoon sobbing loudly as Jaejoong slowly drops Yunho to the ground.

The drow was an indescribable mess having just witnessed someone kill his one and only last family.

San crumbles to the ground as silent tears streamed down his cheeks. His hands shook and his chest felt tight. He leans forward on the cold ground as more tears dripped onto the hard stone ground. He gritted his teeth and dug his nails into the ground, splitting his skin and causing him to bleeding but he didn't care. Junkyu. Yeji. Yunho. The hundreds of other innocent lives that were taken that night. He felt so weak, so completely helpless. Everything hurt so bad and his head felt someone was hammering away at it.

He closed his eyes and sobbed silently when he felt a pair of cold hand place over his on the ground. He looks up and was met with the glossed over eyes of Wooyoung who doesn't say anything but envelopes him in a tight comforting hold.

"The time has finally come!" Jaejoong's voice rips through the wind and sniffling from a few of the crying men. "Afters decades. I've done it" His voice was triumphant as he places the last heart in the bowl, his hands wet with blood. Thick and a deep red.

"Dresrak will finally awaken. And I will use his power to begin a new regime" He announces with glee and watches as the head witch, the one that stood at the altar and looked to be in charge, began shouting a out a spell. Her voice loud and drowning out the low chants of the other witches. The wind picks up even harder causing a few people to stumble.

Just then the witches that were stood along side the walls were swallowed up by stone, bringing the spell to a halt and the fire barrier came down.

Down the stairs and into the catacomb was Junho, his eyes glowing a luminescent white like that of a light bulb. His hair was held up in a bun but wisps of his dark brown hair came loose and whipped around his face.

Jaejoong and the woman at the altar stare at him with horror. A strong wind picks up around Junho as he made his way toward the vampire king. The witch immediately tries to jump in but was held still by stone slowly encasing her lower half, causing her to be stuck in the ground and creeping up to completely cover her.

"You.." Jaejoong's eyes were wide and Junho takes him by the neck, holding him very tightly. The wind around them causes his hair to come loose the long locks whip around his head.

"I've been waiting nearly 200 years to kill you with my own bare hands, Jaejoong. For what you did to my family. My people" Junho's voice comes out deep, gruff and menacing. His blinding white eyes squints over a little.

"H-how-" Jaejoong manages to choke out still in complete shock at the fact that a full blooded druid was right in front of him. But then it slowly dawned on him that this must be the druid that got away and procreated, birthing Yunho as a result.

"I was the last survivor of the butcher you initiated on Fladow. For years I've known about your psychotic plan to awaken a war mongering extinct species that died off hundreds of thousands of years ago. And I knew that because you always have your circle of witches always protecting you it would be hard to kill you so I waited..

..I waited till the moment was right. I knew that right after taking the hearts of your sacrifices your witches would have to stop whatever protection spell they have that has kept me from killing you all this time. I knew you'd be the must vulnerable" His voice was laced with layers of deeply rooted hatred. "You're going to die here today Jaejoong. With the amount of blood you have on your hands no amount of repentance will save you"

Jaejoong's stares at him with anger and gritted teeth, his eyes glancing at the other witches around the room who were all now stone statues. Then he laughs. He laughs like a maniacal deranged psychopath. "You fool!" He cackles through the hand still tight around his neck. "So you allowed me to kill your own son just so you could get your revenge?" He mocks and Junho felt himself falter.

Jaejoong cackles again. "You can kill me but that won't bring your people back. That won't Yunho back. You'll still be all alone. As you've always been. Nothing is going to change that" Junho jaw clenches and his bottom lip quivers as his grip on Jaejoong's neck tightens causing the vampire to choke and gasp for breath.

"Don't kill him!" Wooyoung calls out to the druid through the heavy winds. But Junho's face slowly scrunches and his grip grew tighter.

"Give it to me!" Junho demands at Wooyoung. "The dagger. Give it to me"

Wooyoung's eyes widen as he remembers the small vampire prison dagger he had in his belt. He hastily pulls it out and tosses it to Junho who grabs it in the air without even looking then in the blink of an eye Junho pushes it through Jaejoong's chest.

The man gasps with widened eyes as his skin slowly turned grey and lifeless. His eyes a black void, lips a dusty grey and skin turning cold as ice. Junho drops him to the ground as the wind around them slowly stops. Junho's bright eyes flickers off and returns to his warm chestnut colored ones. Except they held so much contempt and sadness as he stared down at Jaejoong's lifeless body with the dagger sticking out of his chest and dead soulless eyes.

He stands up straight and turns to the room, everyone else staring back at him with complete and utter disbelief whilst Wooyoung and San smiles weakly at him.

Seonghwa's sniffs echoes in the room as well as Sehyoon's sobs as he quickly ran to Yunho's body on the ground. While Seonghwa held Yeji's limp corpse in his arms. He silently sobbed, holding her tight as he sat on the ground and stared down at her restful face, rocking back and forth as his tears fell down to he'd face.

Junho shifts his gaze away from the werewolf siblings and to Sehyoon who cradled Yunho's head against his chest. He felt a dull ache in his chest as he stared at Yunho's dead body. "Why didn't you save him?" Sehyoon's voice cuts through the silence. "You knew" He glared up at the newcomer.

"You knew that he was going to die and you did nothing. Y-you knew that m-monster was going to take him away from me" Sehyoon struggles to get his words out as all he wanted to do was cry his eyes out.

Junho doesn't say anything for a moment. "I needed to make the sacrifice" Was all he said in a flat voice. "Millions more people would die if I didnt stop him"

"I don't give a fuck!" Sehyoon cuts him off. "I. don't. care" He gasps weakly, another tear running down his cheek. "He was all I had" His voice was broken. Another silence settles in the room. They had managed to subdue Jaejoong but the loss dealt was too great to celebrate.

He silently steps up to the altar, everyone snapping their heads up to him. "There's an old forbidden technique native to nature oriented druids" He says calmly as he takes the knife from the stone slab. "Resurrecting a late soul... in exchange for the caster's. A life for a life" He says grimly and Sehyoon snaps his head up at him so fast. His eyes were wide in anticipation.

"Y-you can bring him back?" Sehyoon asks with a shaky voice and Junho nods slowly.

"In exchange for my own life, yes" He bitterly laughs to himself. "I've gotta be the worst father in the history of fathers. I abandoned him and his mother in search of revenge. I wanted to leave my old life behind and start anew in Lloth. But I just couldn't control the anger.." He grits his teeth and watches Yunho painfully. "...and rage and bitterness at all that I had lost. I was blinded by revenge. And even after it all I still feel a sense of emptiness and loss. He was right..." Junho says with a shrug.

"Nothing's going to change even if I did kill him" He sighs deeply. "But maybe, maybe I can give Yunho... my son, a second a chance"

"No" Seonghwa's voice echoes and bounces off the wall. "Bring back Yeji" He looks up with a fierceness in his eyes. His cheeks were wet and his eyes blood shot red from all the crying. His hair a disheveled mess and overall he was inconsolable. "Bring my sister back"

"Seonghwa-" San starts weakly.

"She didn't do anything do deserve this. She's just-" He chokes up. "She just came here trying to find me. Why did she deserve to die? What was the reason?! Huh?!" His voice increases in volume. "Please bring her back. Please" He chokes out through more tears.

Junho's brows knits with anguish. He shifts his eyes to the ground and tightened his grip around the hilt of the knife he held.

"I know he's your son and it's too much of me to ask of you but.." Seonghwa hiccups. "It's my fault she's gone. If-if I had just stayed back in Boulia. She wouldn't have come looking for me" He bit his bottom lip hard. "It's my fault" He whispers the last part to himself as he looks down at his sister's face through his blurry vision.

It was quiet for a moment.

"I'm sorry" Junho's voice was grim. "I'm sorry that you got wrapped up in all this. I'm sorry your sister was killed. I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything to save her. I'm just- I'm sorry" His words were like a hot knife in Seonghwa's heart. She was really gone. His sweet little sister whom he loved with everything he had was really dead. And there was nothing he could do about it. It all hurt so bad. He squeezes his eyes hard and broke down into sobs. Holding her tight.

Junho turns back to Yunho, squatting beside his body whom was still craddled in Sehyoon's arms. The druid tucks his long dark brown hair behind his ear and away from his face then he brinks the knife to his palm, quickly slicing it open.

He brings his bleeding palm to Yunho's lips, forcing some blood past his closed mouth. The room was silent as they watched. "When he wakes up, tell him I'm sorry. For everything. In my cave, back in Naex, he'll be able to find everything he needs to help him with his druid powers. Please.. just take care of him" He mutters solemnly and before anyone could say anything his eyes flash bright again like before and his neck snaps back as he stares up at the ceiling. He was holding Yunho hand tightly.

His body began convulsing and he's muttering incoherent words at the air. A slight breeze picks up around them. Blood trails down both his nostrils and towards his neck. Then a few minutes pass before his bright eyes flickers off and he collapses to the ground in a thud.

His once dark brown eyes now blank and dead, staring off into nothingness. The blood continues trickles out his nose.

Sehyoon gasps in shock and shifts his eyes back to the male that still layed dead in his arms, waiting for him to open his eyes. After what felt like an eternity but was only about 5 seconds, Yunho grunts and his eyes flutters and slowly slides open.

The room erupts in light sighs and gasps and Sehyoon laughs weakly and hugs Yunho's head tighter to his chest. "You're alive" He breaths.

"I can't breathe" Yunho complains at his brother's smothering, pushing his arms back a tad. Sehyoon simply laughs again, hugging him even tighter as more tears slide down his wet cheeks.

The tiniest of smiles stretches on San's lips but he draws his attention back to a quiet Seonghwa who was just staring off blankly at nothing and holding Yeji against his chest. And the smile on San's lips drops and his gaze shifts to the ground.
