✨THE REAL FINALE✨
LUHAN
I remember first meeting you back then at that store, where we bumped into each other, resulting to the start of everything.
I remember catching you play the guitar inside the music room and almost escaping through the window when you saw me watching.
I remember our awkward conversation by the falls and river in that paradise which me and my gang call as a hideout and your flustered face when you accidentally saw me shirtless.
I remember our little moments back at the academy, when you played the guitar in the garden and when we were walking back to the practice room.
I remember a lot of moments from back then.
The happy moments
The sad moments.
And that one moment when we first locked eyes for the first time after four long years of searching.
That look of a clueless person, staring at a random stranger.
I remember you avoiding me as much as possible and always calling me an ahjussi when you found out I'm older than you.
I remember you panicking when you came with us to SMTown and clung on to your sorry excuse of a boyfriend.
I remember clenching my fists whenever I see you comfortable in his hands but flinch when I try to touch you.
I remember you hiding in the garden, just to avoid me yet I caught you, which led you to run under the rain and me chasing over you.
I remember helping you when you suffered series of painful headaches, because your so-called boyfriend wasn't there.
And I remember being in a state of euphoria, after you told me that you finally remembered everything.
Now, I tell this to you, Yoona, that all these things that I remembered up until this day, there's one thing that I haven't forgotten ever since locking eyes with you for the first time.
I'll never forget falling in love with you.

"YOONA!"
I stare in shock as the woman before me suddenly swung her sword towards my direction, trying to aim my head. Snapping out of it, I quickly avoided it and skipped out of the way, before the flames from that scary ass-looking sword gets me or my clothes.
My breath falls into a hitch when realizing I stepped on one of her traps and before I could even react, tons and tons of vines already caught most of my body, preventing me from moving.
"And here I thought you're a master of skills, Luhan. Hate to break it to you, but I'm very disappointed." I hear Yoona's voice from behind me and before I could even utter a reply, a force from my sides silenced me, more veins sprouting out and eventually covered my entire mouth.
I glanced to my right and feel myself whimpering in despair, seeing Kris and the others defeated on the ground. I stare at them with watery eyes, saddened by the fact that I can't even go near to them without getting hurt by Yoona.
I shake my head. No. This is not Yoona.
This evil woman behind me is not her.
"You all are such f*cking retards. I can't believe you all thought I sided with you." This woman said in a menacing voice, her finger slightly gracing my chin. I didn't even notice her standing in front of me.
"Especially you, Luhan. I easily got you wrapped around my finger." She then smiled, a sickening smile.
"Yoona, snap out of it! You're under that old hag's spell!" I hear Jessica shout, her voice obviously hoarse and tired. I couldn't see her from where I am but I could guess that she's on the ground, injured and bruised.
"Oh Jessica, that's what you think." I feel my entire body grow cold when I see Yoona's eyes blaze with darkness. Her eyes weren't the usual brown anymore but they were black, dark and empty. There's a small cracked line of white in between, like that of a cat but scarier.
"I am Yoona. I'm the one hanging out with you guys. I know everything about myself ever since I was born. The thing is," She paused midway and let out the sickiest smile she ever did.
"I'm awfully better."
The next thing I knew, I found myself clinging on to the vines that entrapped me as rapid strong winds hit us by force, making almost everything fly away with it.
I clenched my fists strong, biting my lips as I endure this tragic moment. As the winds gradually get stronger, I force myself not to cry.
That's not something a man should do right now.
I quickly made myself stand, still clinging on to the vines, though they're slowly piercing through my skin, and pulled out a small dagger from my back pocket, aiming it towards Yoona's hands.
Her hands were stretched out in front of her, as she was realeasing strong waves of winds. So while she got her attention to that, I focused myself on the dagger and shift it towards her.
A success.
"What the f—" Before she could even curse, I let go and broke free from the vines as soon as the winds lost focus in their directions and ran towards her. I see her eyes shifting from me towards her hands so I took that oppurtunity to push her down. I took no mind of the blood that was seeping out from her cut that she got from the sharp object.
With our position, me on top of her, she has no escape. She gave me probably her most deadliest glare.
"You piece of sh—"
"I beg you Yoona, stop." I cut her off, my voice not as loud as it was like awhile ago. She stopped moving for a bit and faced me, our eyes finally locked with each other. Unlike those other times that we have done this, our gazes were speaking of different things.
Her eyes were that of anger. Mine were of sadness.
"Yoona, this isn't you. You're not being yourself." I slowly let the words come out from my lips, keeping my gaze strong on hers. "Remember what happened to you awhile ago, please. You were up in the air with Jezzy for a long time. She must have done something to you while being surrounded by smoke." I told her this, not noticing how desperate my voice came to be.
"Yoona please, Jezzy suddenly disappeared in the smoke and you turned into a person you aren't. There has to be a reason. Yoona, please."
For a moment, I noticed her eyes flick from anger to confusion. For a moment, I thought I saw worry etched in her eyes.
But that disappeared right away. Her glare was back and with just how fast her emotions changed, our positions did too.
For some reason, she was able to knock me off my legs, making me hit the hard ground harshly. A harsh choke came out of me as a response. She then straddled on top of me and wasted no time on pinning my hands over my head. She eyed down on me with a succesful smirk on her face.
"Whatever happened a while ago doesn't f*cking matter." And with that said, I felt another set of vines curling around my arms and entire body. I grunted loudly at how tight the vines were wrapped around my skin.
I panic when I see Yoona stand up from straddling me, and face the others who were still down on the ground. I feel myself growing cold as I notice Yoona suddenly bringing herself up in the air, her appearance changing.
"You guys are so damn annoying. Its so hard to keep up with all your useless nagging." She exclaimed with a flip of her hair. My eyes widen when her hair suddenly turned yellow after doing the said action, making me think of the worst possible outcomes.
Her hair eventually turned blonde, like how she looked like when she introduced herself as Yanna. Not long after, her clothes also changed. From her casual clothing, they all changed to form a black silky dress, her form resembling that of a villain found in children's storybooks.
Only that, she looked intimidating as ever.
"I'm tired of answering all your bullsh*ts. I guess I have to formally introduce myself." As she spoke, her face then was painted with black colors. Because I could only see her back, I can't see whatever was happening to her face. But I could tell it's bad news.
"Ever wonder what would be Yoona's real magic abilities if she wasn't cursed?" She asked, flying backwards, making me have to lift my head to see her. I'm then surprised by the amount of black make up that's tainted her entire face.
Thick black eyeliner and shadow, black lipstick plus thick eyebrows that are on fleek. She's completely changed her bare-faced self.
"Of course some of you would wonder, you're all born geniuses. Try to think about it, if I wasn't cursed by Jezzy, what would be my real magic? Would it be some fire skill or water?" She lift her hands, the right one showing fire while the left showed water.
"Maybe air and some nature ability." The air around us suddenly went furious for a minute, replaced by thousands of scary looking plants suddenly sprouting out from the ground.
"Probably mind skills like telepathy or of some sort too." She casually picks up a huge rock that was attached on the ground, throwing it towards the defenceless group of royalties. I screamed loud in worry, but thankfully Kris and Suho were able to slice it in half by their magic, making me sigh in relief.
"But actually, none of those were my real abilities." Her voice brought my attention back at her again. She then checked out herself, smiling triumphantly. "I guess my transformation's done."
"What's your real ability then?" I bravely asked, ignoring how the tension in my body seems to increase. She glanced at me with a smirk.
"Death, Luhan. My real magic ability is death."
"Lami, wait. NO!" Suddenly, Mark's voice took all of our attention. As I'm still being held captive by these strong stupid plants, I tried my best to lift my head up. I see Lami way up in the air, struggling and shaking so hard. I feel my whole body turn rigid as I watch her.
"Let her go noona, please!!" I see Mark running towards Lami and jumping high just to grab Lami's legs, but she's already way up in the air. Mark fell down and I could tell his fall hurt, so bad. "LAMI!" He shouted.
"Lami, dear," Yoona calls her name in a sickeningly sweet voice, and I know Lami is feeling chills up there. "Why are you siding with them? You belong to us."
"I never was one of you." Lami exclaimed, her hands trying to pry away from Yoona's strangling forces. "I only joined Jezzy because she threatened my life. She killed my only other family, what am I supposed to do?!"
"Getting quite angsty, huh?" Yoona side-comments. Lami was then pulled forward, making her face Yoona right in the eye. I can't make out what their expressions are but I could feel the tension grow worse.
"I know you know Jezzy knows about your parents."
"I don't have parents! They're both f*cking dead!" Lami screamed, her voice shaking. "How would that old lady know? I don't believe in her bullsh*t." She spatted out with an angry tone. Yoona scoffed loudly.
"Arrogant lady, you really know nothing." She said in a sinister tone. Suddenly, Yoona and Lami flew fast away, out from my sight, making all of us scream in fear.
"Lami!!" Mark's voice stood out the most.
I couldn't see where they currently are but basing on Lami's pained screams, I know it's not something good. I don't know how many times all of us screamed for Lami, but it was going on for awhile.
Until we all suddenly heard a chorus of cheers from afar, and hurried stomps that sounded like horses' hooves. The sudden noises caught all our attention, and I'm sure Yoona heard it too.
A figure suddenly stood in front of me and in a minute, I was free from the tight bounds of the plants. Out of shock, I sat and looked up, seeing a familiar face. I could feel my jaw suddenly drop.
"Amber, you're here!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, hey, we'll have time for familiarities. Get up," Amber said in a rush, lending a hand out. I grabbed it and she helped me stand up.
As soon as I was up, I could now clearly see what was happening. I looked at this brave woman beside me.
"You brought the whole army?!" Amber just gave me a side-smirk.
"It's the least I could do for all of you. And besides, I could probably get a recognition for doing this so, why not." She reasons. Though she sounded so boastful, I couldn't help but feel grateful.
Finally, a ray of hope is shining right now.
"Thanks for coming Amber." I told her, to which she acts bashful.
"Shucks, no need for that. We have bigger problems to face right now so," She then pointed upwards. "Act your role, superhero."
I look up and see Yoona looking so baffled out by the number of people suddenly coming to her way. I could tell that she didn't like it.
Lami was already back on ground, I noticed. Mark was already holding her tight. That's also when I noticed the others were already back up and started to fight, some being carried to aid their injuries. I could already see Jessica ordering the soldiers upon what to do.
Suddenly, my motivation to fight is back. I don't have to feel burdened anymore. I don't have to feel discouraged anymore.
I have my friends with me. And we'll fight this battle altogether.
"Amber," I called out to the woman beside me.
"Yes, Luhan?" She faced me with a sly smirk on her face, as if knowing what I was about to do.
"You and your army must fight Yoona's forces, magic, and all that she releases," I looked up and see Yoona looking at me at the same time, with her angered expression. This time, I don't feel scared.
"But I'll get her on my own. You copy that?"
"Well I sure did, Prince." Amber said as she laughs, already feeling excited. "We are just right behind you." I faced her when I suddebly felt her touching my shoulder. She looks at me with determination and trust in her eyes.
"Now go and save your girl."
~~~~~
"No. No. NO!!" I hear Yoona from above as she's slowly backing away from everything that's trying to stop her. "Its not f*cking supposed to be this way!" She grumbled out as she ducked down, barely avoiding a wind attack from one of the soldiers.
Without her knowing, I slowly but hastily clinbed up the trees, trying to reach her. She stooped a bit low than before so her distance from the ground is only like the height of an electrical post.
Her back faced me, and we're only 5 meters apart. Seeing this as a perfect chance, I tried to concentrate in releasing my own spell. And this one, must succeed.
Or else, we're all going to be dead meat.
"YOONA!" I shouted out, and jumped towards her, my hands up in front of me. She turned around and at that, I successfully got my arms around her. She screamed out of shock and before she could get off from her, I screamed back.
"I AM NOT LETTING YOU GO THIS TIME!"
A blinding flash of light suddenly surrounded us, and the both of us were gone in an instant.
~~~~~
THIRD PERSON POV
Yoona is greeted by darkness. Again.
She felt herself float in this blanket of darkness. Alone, and lonely.
'What happened...?' Her mind echoes silently.
She tried to remember past events that happened before being in this darkness, but nothing comes to mind.
That's when she noticed something odd.
She gasped when seeing herself wearing a dress. She gasped when seeing her hands and arms have swirls all around.
She screamed when she saw herself right in front of her.
"W-Who are you?!" She screamed, completely mortified. "I didn't even notice you awhile—"
"Shut up, weakling." Her other self talked back, which scared her. Yoona feels like breaking down.
"This is all your boyfriend's fault." She heared her other self speak, to which caught her attention.
"Boyfriend?" Yoona asks. "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? You know who I'm referring to, b*tch." Her other self (she decides to call her Sassy) rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "That Prince from Song Kingdom."
"Luhan?" Yoona says out loud. Her eyes widen, realizing the situation. "What happened to him? Where is he?!" She asked, panic filling her system.
"Do I know?" Sassy tsked irritatingly, and looked at Yoona straight in the eye. "I'd hope you will know, since I'm only doing what I'm told."
"I don't remember anything." Yoona confesses, her eyebrows furrowed as she tries to think. "I was at Carnation Kingdom. Jezzy and I fought. My friends came. And— I don't know." I groaned internally, hitting ny head.
Why can't I remember?
"That's because I took over stupid." I looked up and saw Sassy looking at me, straight in the eyes. "I was suddenly brought out of you."
"Who are you, exactly?" Yoona decides to ask. "I can't have a twin, I'm an only child as far as I could remember."
"I'm not your twin." Sassy assured, her eyes still holding that same, emotionless gaze. "But I'm you."
"Huh?" Yoona lets out, confused. Suddenly, she felt goosebumps when Sassy suddenly starts floating towards her. The both of them were now facing each other, distance only a meter apart.
"I'm a part of you, Yoona." Sassy said, her voice sounding a lot like Yoona. "Remember Jezzy's last words to you?"
Again, Yoona had to ransack through her memories, burying herself further until finally, she remembered.
And with that, Yoona started to cry.
"You're Death." The crying lady sniffled out. Death, could only look at her, no pity in her eyes.
"Jezzy told you to welcome me. You didn't want to, but somehow she brainwashed you. She controlled your thoughts, letting your poor self believe her fallacies, and let me out of you." Death poured her the information she needed, and that is all it took for her to finally break down.
The dark blanket that surrounded them was finally off, being replaced with a white one instead.
The both of them weren't floating anymore. They slowly were down, Death standing tall while Yoona was on her knees, crying.
"W-Why did I let her control me? I-I'm supposed to stop her!"
"There was nithing you could do, Yoona." The said lady looked up to her other self, as if in disbelief. "I believe something like that had to happen."
"What do you mean?" Yoona asked, confused than ever. Something like that has to happen? All of those fights, had to happen? For what?
"It says so in your prophecy Yoona." A man's voice boomed the whole area of white. Death looked ahead but Yoona had to turn her head to see.
And she did. She saw someone familiar for once.
"Kai?" Shocked, she stood up and stared down the person she least expected.
"Yep, its me." Kai gave her a loop sided grin. "And this will be our final meeting, unfortunately." He added in the last bit.
"Kai, please tell me." Yoona pleads, tears still flowing out of her eyes. "What is going on?"
"I believe your counterpart has already told you. And, you might now want to know what happened after that."
Yoona shakes her head and placed both her hands on top of it, ruffling her head in the process.
"I know this is a lot to take in, but I don't have a lot of time right now. Luhan couldn't last this spell any longer." Kai said, and as quickly as he finished, a box was on his hands.
He walked towards Yoona, gently bringing her hands down and placing the box on top of it.
"You can have all the time in the world, but right now, you can't. I want you to open this box when I'm gone, and I hope this will make you realize what you should do." Kai slowly lets go of the box, much to Yoona's dismay.
"Is this really our last meeting?" Yoona softly asks, her eyes still tearing up.
Kai only gave her a soft smile. He subtly looked at Death, and back to Yoona.
After that, he was gone.
Yoona didn't waste any time. She opened the box and was greeted by a scroll. The same one she saw when her grandpa visited her.
Confused, she picked up the scroll and let it roll down. Suddenly, a woman's voice came out of nowhere, reciting everything's that is written on it.
“Now it begins, Fate makes a twist,
A new chapter made, a perfect list.”
"This wasn't in the prophecy the last time I read it." Yoona mumbled. "What does this mean?"
"Jezzy, I believe, did that." Death suddenly speaks after beinf silent for quite awhile. Yoona turned around to face her. "She probably was able to change something in the prophecy, hence why you're here."
"But for what?" Yoona asked. "All this, just for a man who'll never love her back? I think trying to change the prophecy isn't even an option for that sort of revenge."
"It isn't. You're correct." Death agreed, and for the first time, she smiled at Yoona, which surprised the latter. "She tried to change it so the events would go downhill."
"Downhill?" Yoona asked, confused.
"Yoona, you don't know a lot , which is supposed to reflect to me since I am you. But no, that's not the case." Death spoke out every word carefully, making sure Yoona understood every bit of it.
"Your real powerful ability is indeed death, but Jezzy knew you also had another ability to which she tried to hide by changing the prophecy because if she didn't, she'll die."
Yoona stayed silent, waiting for her counterpart to continue. But seeing as the latter didn't, she decided to take a courageous step.
"May I know what's that?" Death smiles and gave her an answer.
"The ability of love and trust." She paused a bit, letting Yoona take the time to digest her words. "The wise men call this ability White Life."
"White Life?" Yoona repeated, shocked. She never encountered that kind of ability. "What does this ability do?" She asked.
"Actually," Death laughed a bit. "That's just mainly being you. Don't you ever wonder why you were always surrounded by loving friends and people? Why you are important to everyone, and why everyone is importnat to you?"Death reached out and clasped her hands with Yoona's.
"Its because of your ability, a natural ability that only you have. This is why Jezzy always persuade you to do bad things, and let me, Death, come out as a persona."
Yoona looks at Death— no, herself infront of her, their hands holding on tight to each other.
"This is the twist Fate made through Jezzy, to which she didn't realize. This is the new chapter that will be the start of a new you."
Yoona's eyes become teary yet again, finally understanding everything.
"Accept me, Yoona." Death said, her voice turning serious. "Accept me and White Life, and use our abilities to defeat Jezzy. This is the only way to cast the witch to Oblivion once and for all."
Yoona nodded her head and clutched on her hands. She slowly closed her eyes, ready to feel her magical abilities.
And this time, she knows that they aren't dangerous. She knows that these abilities aren't cursed.
Because it's hers.
~~~~~
"LET ME GO WEAKLINGS!! YOU ARE NO MATCH TO ME!"
Jezzy, the witch who suddebly appeard right after Luhan and Yoona disappeared, exclaimed. Soldiers were attacking her from different directions, preventing her from attacking any further.
One noticeable thing the soldiers see, is the fact that she seemed to slowly become old and wrinkled.
"Take her down! Never let her escape!" Suho commanded, pointing down the chaos surrounding the witch.
"Where are Luhan and Yoona? Do you think they'll be alright?" Taeyeon asked worriedly, her right hand clutching tightly to Baekhyun's. Awhile back, both her legs were severly injured because of her constant fighting back, so she's being seated on the grass, her legs straight right in front of her.
"Don't worry Taeyeon. The guys you are worried about are Luhan and Yoona. They're both strong. Believe in them." Baekhyun looks at Taeyeon straight in the eye. Taeyeon did the same.
"Trust them." Baekhyun told her.
"Luhan!" Kris shouted, the others looking at where Kris was pointing at. There, they see Luhan a bit high above the ground and then, he fell down to the ground, worn out.
"Luhan," Suho called, running towards him. Sunny then called some soldiers to help, while the others looked at the two in relief. "What happened man?"
"I did it. Suho, I did it." Luhan said, happily. The rest looked at him, lost in thought.
"What did you do?" Suho asked. Luhan let out, probably the biggest smile in the world.
"I saved Yoona."
"Look up there!" A soldier shouted out, noticing a bright light up above them all.
The bright light engulfed the entire field, making all of them turn away from it, including Jezzy. Suddenly , they heard a voice.
A voice familiar to almost all of them.
"Jezzy, the Revengeful Witch from the West!" A woman's voice spoke with authority, to which everyone believes it to be a royalty's command.
The bright light is now kept to a minimum, letting everyone see who owns the voice.
It was Yoona, looking much more stronger than ever. She wore a bright white dress and her black hair was back, flowing down beautifully together with the wind. She looked elegant, beautiful, and most of all, wonderful.
Like a princess.
"With this ability of the White Life, I order you," She pointed to the pale witch, her body frigid, scared, and out of her wits. "To never come to Carnation Kingdom ever again! You are sentenced to life imprisonment," Yoona takes in a deep breath.
"To Oblivion."
"NO!" Jezzy retaliated, not believing her ears. "You cannot and will never take me there!"
"Don't make me do this the hard way, witch. I dare you." Yoona said, her order a bit different from the usual her.
"I dare you, wannabe princess." Jezzy provoked.
And that's what Yoona did.
Jezzy suddenly finds herself trapped inside a confusing whirlwind of darkness. She felt blind, and that blindness led her to walk towards a portal, her motions and movements controlled by a force.
Yoona watches as Jezzy is being forced to the portal, which obviously leads to the said death world.
As soon as the portal closes, a chorus of happy praises came and all of them rejoiced to the fact that finally...
The witch is gone.
"Yoona!" Yoona swiftly lands on the ground and turns around to face the owner of the voice, but was tackled down instead.
"Hey Luhan—!" Yoona exclaimed but was cut off when lips met hers. Luhan kissed her deeply and breaks off for awhile, looking her in the eyes.
"Its finally over." Luhan said, smiling at her. Yoona can't help but smile too.
They shared another kiss, this time it's slow and steady, feeling the love and care that they have for each other.
They broke it off slowly, with the both of them smiling.
"Yes, it finally is over." Yoona said, her smile being the only beautiful thing in Luhan's eyes.
~~~~~
"Finally, the whole fiasco with Jezzy is over." The late King of Carnation Kingdom exclaimed, smiling happily at the sight before him.
"Hey, you still haven't told me the last set of the prophecy." Prince Jongin muttered from beside him, still feeling lost.
"I already helped your work, and I could finally rest in peace , but you still haven't told me the last part of the prophecy."
The late king laughed at the young lad's words, shaking his head.
"Well, let me show you then."
The king brought the scroll up his hands, and lets it roll down, the last part of the prophecy being recited out.
“And now the battle has finally ended,
Everyone can finally have their happiness implemented.
The decision will be made by the moon
No one dare force her to choose
Either star, sun or light
Happiness comes to their lives.”
"Star, moon, sun? Light?" The prince asked out loud. "What does that mean?" The king beside him laughed out loud once again.
"Those are symbols , dear Prince." The king explained, and went back to looking at the sight before him.
He smiled as the rest if the royalties surrounded Luhan and Yoona.
"And obviously, our princess, our own moon, is going to end up with the light of her life."
