...Flower of Evil...

The sky turned dark as a loud thunder hit the ground. Smoke rose up from the ground and in between the smoke, three figures walked out. They wore a suit of armour with swords in their waist hilts. Their long hair were tied up into high pony tails with golden ribbons. The built bodies were intimidating yet their faces were like beautiful jaded statues from heaven. They stood infront of Prince Yoongi who was standing next to the river of demons.

They were the heavenly officials of heaven who had come down to escort the Prince Yoongi.

"Your highness, time to go back",the guy in the front said.

Yoongi's eyes were unfocused as he spoke. "G –Give me some time. I –I need to find her"

"We apologise for your lose. But your time is up. You promised heavenly Emperor that you'll come and receive your punishment"

Yoongi, "Did I say I'd run away?! I said I need time! My sister ....she is missing"

"Missing or dead?"

Yoongi looked at him and glared. "She isn't dead"

The heavenly official smiled slightly. "I can already see what had happened here. These traces shows that she was dragged into this river. We both know what will happen to her if she was thrown into the river"

"General Huabin, listen,if she is really dead,then I have my ways to bring her back to life. So,please,leave me alone now. I'll be back when I'm done",Yoongi snapped.

General Huabin, the heavenly official in the front  was a General from a long destroyed kingdom. He is a senior God for Prince Yoongi.

Huabin, "Heh,don't tell me you are gonna find a way to learn the first forbidden spell of rebirth. It's called forbidden for a reason, your highness"

Yoongi looked away without a word.

Huabin, "Alright, let's say you can learn it. But are you sure you can bring her back? To bring her back,atleast her soul should be unscathed. When someone dies,that person's soul get divided into three parts. Two of them go to the netherworld immediately while the last part remains in the place where it died. It will stay in the human realm for seven days before returning to the netherworld to join the rest of the souls. Then it will again be completed"

Yoongi knew what he is trying to say. Iseul's soul. Part of her soul should be in the place where she died. It only has been hours since she died.

"Did you find her soul? You are a heavenly official. You should be able to see her soul. But did you?"

Yoongi's eyes turned red from the unshed tears. He was in denial. How could he accept the fact that her soul had been eaten by the demons? He could hear Seokjin's wails from afar. He wished he could cry like that but he felt like if he cried,then it means he accepted her death.

"What if she is still alive? Isn't it possible? If her soul isn't here —"

Huabin, "Aren't you trying too hard to deny the reality? Look,try to throw one of your brothers to this river and see if he'll be able to survive? Humans like them can't survive in this river,no matter how strong you are"

Yoongi looked at the river which seemed to be calm but deep inside,it is like a volcano. Veins slowly popped out from his neck as he gritted his teeth. Taking out his spiritual fan,he flew towards the middle of the river before diving in.

Inside the river,he opened his eyes and they were completely blue as he used his powers to slaughter every demon who came to kill him. He had invaded a territory of a demon clan. It is their vow to kill only when the demons come out to the human realm but now,a heavenly official had broken the vow.

Huabin cursed under his breath seeing him going berserk inside the river. Unsheathing his sabre,he jumped into the river before fighting his way to the insane god. Comparing to Yoongi's strength, Huabin is ten times stronger than him. He pulled Yoongi and swam upwards. He flew upwards and dragged Yoongi along with him before pushing him to the ground.

Yoongi laid there with a blank face.

Huabin, "You got a list of punishments ahead of you,your highness. You probably will be banished after the imprisonment"

Yoongi's eyes released a tear as he stared blankly at the sky. He failed. Je failed to protect his sister. He regretted. Regretted everything. Why did he fail? Because he is weak.

Prince Hoseok walked towards them and saw his brother lying on the ground. Around him,there were three men. He knew what it means. It's a time they needed yoongi. But,

"It's okay. Go", he said. His tears hasn't even dried but he smiled giving Yoongi some comfort. "I'll take care of them"

Yoongi's lips trembled as he was trying his best to suppress his sobs. He felt ashamed to look at Hoseok.

Hoseok,"Come back soon. We'll be waiting"

Huabin sighed. He pitied the brothers but he could do nothing. He closed his eyes and the next second, they all disappeared.

The screen showed Namjoon who was crying alone in his room. The room was dark and gloomy. His attire was messy as his hair. Broken mirror pieces were everywhere. He punched the floor like a wounded animal and wailed. No servant dared to come closer as they were scared of him now. A deaf body was next to him as he had killed a servant who tried to calm him down. He is a completely different person now. The kind hearted gentle Prince had disappeared with the news he got.

The mistake he did was grave and his sister had to pay for it.

The scene changed and showed a drunken Jungkook in a bar. He hasn't returned to the Palace for days now. His day to day life was spent in this bar. He would get drunk until he get knocked out and when he wakes up,he would drink again. At night, when insomnia hit him,he would cry his eyes out in a room. His handsome features had changed a bit due to his distressed state. He looked matured and tired.

Seokjin had gone cold. The kind crown Prince wasn't there. He worked and worked like a maniac. If someone did a small mistake, he would order to flog them until they passed out.

Taehyung spent his days in the sparring ground with his arrows and bows. He would practice archery till his fingers get wounded. When his fingers are wounded, he would change for a sword. He didn't shed tears like others. He only sweat to express his pain.

Jimin spent his time in the pavilion where they used to play. He would sometimes sneaked out to look for Jungkook and when he found him,he would end up in disappointment and miserably when he saw Jungkook. At this rate,Jimin was scared thinking he would die from overdose but Jungkook wouldn't listen at all.

Only Hoseok was sane. He spent his time in library, trying to find a way to find the demon Nian. He had a hope in him telling him that Iseul is alive. If he could find the demon,then he could be able to find Iseul.

He travelled through the Kingdoms in order to find any information about this demon. So,most of the times,he wasn't in the palace. And gradually,he stopped coming back and disappeared.

During his absence, a lot of things happened in the palace. One time,Seokjin tried to plot against the Queen to kill her. He wanted to avenge Iseul. But it ended up in a terrible way.

Queen had Jimin's life on the line infront of Seokjin. Queen's spiritual device, the thorn tree had trapped Jimin and his body was pierced by the vicious thorns. He was made into a blood hour glass. Like the meaning of hour glass,he was held in the air and with every passing second, blood drops would fall onto a basin.

The thorns went deep inside Jimin's body,almost killing him. Blood was dripping down from everywhere on his body. Just like how Queen held Xie Ming in the thorn tree.

Seokjin had no choice but to retreat. After that,he appointed Jimin and Jungkook as Generals in Jeju island and sent them away. In reality, they were not in jeju, they were sent to China secretly. Seokjin planned this to protect the two brothers from his mother. If only Iseul could leave like this,then things would have been perfect. But they had no idea about how things got messed up.

At last,only the three Princes from the Queen yejun stayed in the palace. The Palace had no light anymore. It was gloomy and dark.

During this time,crown Prince got a lot closer to his wife. But unfortunately, she fell a sick. An illness no doctor could cure.

Three years had already passed. The Palace only got worst. No laughter was heard. The illness of the princess Ji-eun had run upto her bones now. She couldn't even move properly.

Crown Prince was depressed every day. His mind was a mess.

And when Seokjin was not in the palace, princess Ji-eun left the Palace,leaving only a letter. She didn't want to trouble her husband with her illness. Seeing her everyday only made him sad. She felt like a burden. And she refused to die infront of him so she had asked her father,the minister of war,to take her away from the palace.

When Seokjin read the letter,he laughed bitterly. He laughed and cried and laughed. He felt like he was going crazy. He felt like dying every single day. Ji -eun was the only hope he had but she also left him. He understood why she did it. She was in love with him and she couldn't see him sad because of her. She didn't want to be a burden to him.

Another year passed and she finally heaved her last breath. She wasn't alone that night. Seokjin had found her and spent her last day with her. His wife died in his hands.

Few months later,Hoseok came back. He wasn't alone. Jungkook and Jimin were with him. They came back to the Palace together.
