[Kalisto Pendragon & Herrace Pendragon]

____________

The hatred and agony I felt with the death of my brother was enough to make me go insane literally. The pain shot through my bones wanting to go ballistic. All I wanted to do was kill. Kill and kill. Red was all I could see. Seething in anger,I killed whoever crossed the forest that day. Even the knights who tried to help me were murdered by me as a result of my bloodlust.

I couldn't go home like that. If I went home,I didn't know what I would do. I would even harm my own children. Thus,I stayed in that forest until my bloodlust calmed down. I didn't know the time as I stayed in the forest as a rogue. I was looking like a barbaric animal who only needed blood. Time wasn't flowing in my mind.

When I finally came back to my senses,I went back only to see that I had spent 4 years in that forest as a blood thirsty demon. No one had questioned my disappearance as one of knights had managed to escape from my grasp that day to inform the imperial Palace about my emergency situation.

Soon I took over my position as the grand Duke and returned to my life. I had an emotional blockage in my head after everything. I let my children grow up as they wanted and never interfered in their lives which was the biggest mistake I did. They grew up to be the most dangerous and villainous people out there. Because of my ignorance as a father, I couldn't see what was happening in their lives. Some got involved themselves with crimes,some were falsely accused for murder,some were desperately trying to save our family,some were seeking power insanely. It was a mess.

A girl named Eva was the cause of everything. She wanted take revenge from Yoongi. And Jungkook kidnapped that girl just to torture her for messing with Yoongi. And Eva's brother messed with Jungkook and as a result he got brutally murdered by Jungkook. The hatred of that girl grew more. Meanwhile Taehyung was seeking power as he lost the position of tower master. He killed the previous tower master and the current tower master who happened to be the prince Leo's cousin Ezra. 

As a result of their crimes,an anti Pendragon organisation was born. They killed Seokjin's wife and son making him go ballistic. He went on and began a massacre in the capital. And that Eva girl was the one to put a stop to his unreasonable killing that day. She had Lucian's blessing or else she would have never been able to stop Seokjin. She was chosen by Lucian as his messenger and the new guardian of the kingdom receiving the power of God.

At that time,I got to know about a girl with red eyes. Only Pendragons inherited those eyes so how? I definitely knew who she was. Herrace's daughter,Hazel Pendragon. But when I tried to reach her,it was too late. She got killed by the prince Leo's blade.

Jungkook,Taehyung,Yoongi and Seokjin were announced as traitors of the kingdom. They were sentenced to death. Taehyung had escaped somehow. Jimin,Hoseok and Namjoon had tried rescuing their brothers secretly but had to face Leo and Eva. That day,they tried killing Leo and Eva but Eva's god given power over powered them. For treason of trying to harm the imperial family member,they were put in jail and sentenced to death as well.

That's when I came out of my own world. I realised how terrible I was as a father. I didn't do anything as I was dwelling in my past. I was trapped in my own failure of failing to protect my wife and brother but I didn't realise I was losing my children too. They never came to ask for help. They never tried to rely on me. And they never saw me as their father. I was just a stranger to them. How much of an asshole was I to them. I wasn't there for them when they needed them. The situation was too terrible at that time that I was forced to do nothing by the nobles. Even Lucian came down just to tell me it was time to pay for our crimes for the last time. The curse would end with our lives. He said that we needed to accept our fate.

Bullshit.

Utter bullshit.

I didn't want to lose my children.

Not again.

So I started a rebel against the imperial family but Lucian had appointed new guardians with God power. A greater power that surpassed Pendragon power.
My efforts were in vein.

And my children were beheaded infront of all the citizens. At the same day,Taehyung had opened the hell door after falling into a despair as he also failed to protect his brothers.

The hell door didn't last for long when Taehyung lost the will to fight. After watching the kingdom getting destroyed by the hell creatures,he let Eva kill him after admitting defeat.

I was sent to jail as well. The kingdom was celebrating the deaths of my children. They forgot to pay attention to that one Pendragon who was still breathing in the jail,me. My father who was still very well alive in another isolated land,came to rescue me. He rescued me and left me saying I had to accept my fate. He was also going to die as it was the last generation of Pendragons. Thus,he had no intention of helping me to take revenge.

He never helped me. He never bat an eye when Herrace was sentenced to death as well. Well,how am I different from him? I was just like him for my children. I kept my ignorance until it was too late.

I had no excuse to redeem myself. It was my fault. I lost everything because of my own selfishness.

But the hatred and sorrow I felt that day was not like the day I lost my brother. This time,it felt like a dead sea hiding the storms inside it. I was clear headed. Instead of acting on my carnivorous desires,I decided to do my part as a father.

I determined to gain what I lost. No matter what it cost.

If heaven can act up on its own desires,then I have no choice but to turn to hell.

I worshipped the worst and heinous hell King anyone could worship. A wicked devil no one would want to mess with. Digging up Taehyung's grave,I took out his spiritual core and inserted in myself before opening a hell door. I found the prisonned hell King Orpheus. I gained his favour by releasing him from the prison.

I wanted him to turn the time back.

And he did it. I didn't expect him to agree so soon but maybe he found it fun,that's the only reason I could guess seeing his excited expression. I remember him mumbling something about screwing Lucian or something.

While he was turning back time, a soul interrupted him. Hazel's soul. She refused to go back. I was surprised seeing her. How did she manage to interrupt the spell? Orpheus said she had a strong mana inside her. And it literally acted as a soul shield acting upon her wishes. If she didn't wish to he born,then it will interrupt. If she were to go back in time,she wouldn't remember anything. And would fall in love with Leo,she said. She didn't want that.

So she said she'd bring back her sister instead of her. I was surprised to know that there was another child of Herrace. They were twins. I remembered Herrace's last words. The child was take to somewhere she could never return back by Amani. So,she was taken into another parallel world by her mother. The child of destruction?

Orpheus helped Hazel to bring back the soul from another world and replaced Hazel's soul. That was Nabi Pendragon. Herrace's youngest daughter.

Another soul interrupted. Taehyung. He was also powerful enough to interrupt the spell. But he said nothing. His soul only looked at me before letting us do the spell. He had this sorrowful expression which said how much he was hurt. He wouldn't remember this moment as soon as we turned back time. And don't worry my son,this time,I will take care of you all. I will not allow you all to die like that. I will sacrifice my own life if it means you all could live.

And I successfully turned back time. Found Nabi who was replacing Hazel's soul and brought her back home. This time,I will keep my brother's daughter safe too.

Hope you enjoyed (sorry if this backstory is a bit boring. Just bear with me until I get back to the main story)

And do tell me if you want side stories regarding Nabi's parents' love story. I might do some side stories to fill some plot holes after ending the story.

But hey,the story is not ending soon. There will be more chapters.
