"I swear if you try to hurt her..." Jungkook struggled with Namjoon, Jimin and Hoseok stopping him from approaching the field where Athena sat across from Mykena, surrounded by Miss Parania, Mr. Kosari, Tyra, Tenari, Kira and Yoongi. "Calm down Jungkook, Mikena wouldn't hurt Athena, besides, your Guardian is the one who asked her for help" Jimin tried to stop him.

I know that Athena wanted Mykena to penetrate her mind, she thought she needed help, but I didn't agree and yet, Athena organized everything, secretly from me. I also know that if I get any closer, one of the other guardians will try to stop me, the tutors are there, they won't let Athena get hurt, I know, but I still remember what Mykena's last attempt to challenge her did to her and that scared me, i couldn't just stand by and watch my girl suffer!

"Athena!" I'm late, damn it, how did I let Athena fool me? What should I do, how should I stop her, don't touch her, everything in me is screaming that this is a mistake, that I shouldn't allow it. I also know that I am wrong too, as a knight, I should support my guardian's decision, but as Jungkook, how can I stand meekly and wait for her to suffer?

"Relax and imagine that your mind is soil and you dig into it. How deep you go and what you see depends only on you, I will guide you, but for you I will only be a voice" I nodded, I know that Mykena's power has only one limit and that is the mind of the person on the other side. I also know that I'm probably going to see things I don't want to know, so Kira is here in case I lose control.

I'm sorry Jungkook, I know you don't agree, but I have to do it, for me, for us. So I ignored his screams, even though my soul was tearing apart, and allowed Mykena to enter my mind. The feeling is strange, I have control, but it's as if I'm not me, while before my closed eyes pictures from my life, memories, forgotten events, laughter, crying, pain, joy passed.

"We can't let these kids walk free!" who was this woman, she looks like a shaman or an elder, but not exactly. Fear was written on her face and I looked at the five women beside her, all dead and babies lying at their feet, crying and demanding a mother's attention. They were all little girls, so beautiful, but their eyes were strange.

My dream, many times I had dreamed of their birth, but I never managed to see the babies, nor how the women die. They die, that's when I wake up, when the woman through whose eyes I look died as soon as her baby was born. I turned to the shaman again, she was talking to two other men, dressed almost the same as her, white robes, attached to one shoulder with something like brooches or precious needles. All three looked extremely old.

"We can't even kill them, we already tried, they protected their mothers while they were still in their wombs!" one of the two men insisted and I looked at the babies. Their eyes were shining, something was pulling me towards them and I approached, ignoring the conversation of the three adults. That glitter, those babies and their eyes? These were them, the first five, the first guardians, but how, where could I have such memories?

Green-earth, blue-water, white-heart, gray-air, red-fire. My predecessors, the ones from whom I had inherited my powers. "They are demons, children of demons, we have to do something!" children of demons, what was this man talking about? I looked at the babies again, despite their eyes, they looked so innocent, how could the beginning of a life be bad and corrupt?

"The Sakrans have been stealing our women for centuries, we have to stop this, the only way is to use their children against them! They control their powers, just because they look like us doesn't make them any different than their fathers!" insisted the second. Are the Sakrans their fathers? Are the first Guardians descendants of both races? But if that's the case and the Sakrans have been abducting our women for centuries, why exactly were these five so important that they were the only ones who gave birth to children?

I felt something pull my body back, then I sank into a chute, a tunnel of colored light. I crawled into a kind of ice cave, but at the same time its floor was lava, I feel the wind penetrating my body and it was as if my bones were shaking. Monster-like huge giants were moving around, these are the Sakrans, I remember looking at pictures in a book as a child, my father had shown it to me after he had told us a story about the Guardians.

In one corner I saw five of them chained to the wall and several others were having fun harassing them, I tried to understand what they were saying, but I don't know this language, maybe long before us, the Agoran studied it, but for us it was already dead . My body was sucked in again, the feeling was even stranger than having your brain poked.

The three adults? Why was I with them again? I looked around the meadow, five little girls were playing, the babies? Had I gone back, but forward in time? One smiled, smirked at her sister, twirled her finger and her sister floated up into the air with a laugh - the first air guardian? But their eyes were no longer shining, therefore, their beauty was incredible, irresistible.

The three adults watched them play, but there were no smiles on their faces as they should have, there was fear, horror, suspicion, they were scared, every time one of the girls used their powers, it was as if regret could be seen in the eyes of the three. Is that what I am,a monster?Is that why the others on campus looked at me with fear?

"Do you think we made the right decision? What if they use them as weapons?" what were they talking about, the little girls? "And they will understand, we almost made the same mistake, we wanted to kill them, remember?" Is that why they looked at them like that, felt guilt, fear that the children might turn into weapons? "I know, but look at them, we have never seen anything more pure and noble, their fathers may be demons, but their children are angels" what were they talking about?

"If we fail to hide them, everything up to this point would have been pointless" to hide them? "We must continue, the Agoran will accept them, they will take care of them, and we will be able to repel the Sakrans, without worrying about the girls" aren't they Agoran? A friendly race? "This is their only chance, in time, their blood will merge with Agoran and they won't be able to find them" so the First Ones were not Agoran, their blood mixed with ours, that's how the Guardians appeared.

I was sucked in again. "We are not monsters, Fire, you know that, our parents loved each other, but love does not exist for the Sakrans, that's why they killed them!" are these the Firsts? "Mars loves you, Fire, give him a chance" who is Mars? "Then why does he want to change my name, why does he want to change me?" four of them looked happy, why wasn't Fire? "Mars doesn't call you Venus because he wants to change you, Fire, he gave you this name so you don't feel different from the others" explained one of the women, I wonder who she is, I've never seen such a gentle smile.

So the First Ones were children of another race and the Sakrans, that's how they got their powers. Their blood mixed with ours, so we got ours. But even children of the Sakrans, they were pure and gentle, brought up the right way. Venus, the first fiery Guardian, so Jungkook is my Mars? Are they the fire fairy and the king of my dreams?

I opened my eyes and found myself face to face with Mykena. "I'm sorry, I couldn't take it anymore" Mikena apologized to me, Jimin looked tired too. "How long was I..." not sure about the expression, under hypnosis? "Almost two hours" Mikena answered and Jimin helped her stand up and I looked for Jungkook. I smiled, he was still struggling with Namjoon and Hoseok who finally let him go.

"Athena?" she turned to Mykena, who was leaning against Jimin. "You're not a monster" Athena's eyes watered, she should have guessed that Mykena wouldn't hold back and peek into her mind. But she was grateful and nodded to her silently but smiling."Are you okay?" Tyra looked at her sister with a newfound respect, to withstand Mykena's power and smile at her afterwards was extremely rare. "Great, I feel great" Athena nodded.

She's fine, she looks fine, she's not hurt, she doesn't look tired, she's fine, that's all that mattered, as I ran towards Athena, those idiots finally let me get close, I'll deal with them later, now I just want to make sure she's okay. "Athena!" god she is so beautiful i don't know what she saw but her face is shining. "I'm fine" I hugged her, I don't care who's looking at us, while my hands felt all over her, she's so cute when she blushes like that, but more on that later, she's fine, she's fine!

"Jungkook, they're watching us!" to watch, dammit! I can't take it anymore, I surrender! I kissed her, there in the field, in front of everyone, I press her and kiss her, that's it, I declared that she's mine in front of everyone, yes yes, I'm selfish, yes yes, but she's mine! And it's good, it scared me so much! I deserve the kiss, but later, when we are alone, I will find a way to punish her.
