Author's POV

Somewhere in the soothing atmosphere of an enchanted place, the Wisler sat under the cherry blossom tree with the four girls sitting around it with him. The cold breeze gently blew around him as he opened his eyes. White meant pure, but not in all things, his eyes were white, although the old man was blind he had the power to see things closer than any ordinary eye could. 

All he saw were two long sparks of light racing around him, one was black while the other was white. Both lights zoomed straight and then twisted together with each other before forming a circle like a Yin and Yang. 

"History is about to repeat itself." He said as he got up.

"What will happen to them? How will they solve the problem?" The shortest yet oldest asked as she slowly stood up.

"Well, that's for you guys to see and it's up to them to figure out."


Taehyung's POV

It's been quite some time since Y/N's been in the garden. She said that she'll be back in a while. Where is she? Did she try to escape?

I went out to the garden by myself. The black crows in the garden were rather restless today. What is up with them? The sky was also glowing orange and grey as if the lava rain was about to begin. How weird for a day like this? The wild weather came in with a booming roar and a gust of dusty wind. My hunch told me that there was something bad happening.

Following the path around the garden, I found a body ever so still, lying on the ground as if he were sleeping. 

"Jungkook!!!"

I ran over to his unconscious body darting my eyes immediately on the large trails of bright red burn marks on his body. 

Lasers

He was attacked.

But where is Y/N?

My eyes fell on a bundle of death flowers, these were black roses that bled when you plucked them. Something was up. Under the death flowers was a little scroll. Looked like a royal scroll and just by looking at the fine golden designs and claw patterns on them, I knew who they were from.

Trevor...

I opened the scroll and read the message written.

I knew nothing more. How dare he come to my palace uninvited, attack one of my team members and walk away with what's mine... I mean my prisoner. 

I closed my eyes and zapped my mind to summon Jimin. Soon, my surroundings had a different aura. The force of the wind changed from a strong storm to a soft breeze as I opened my eyes to find a golden portal appearing before me. The Lord of Lust stepped out and stood in front of me with a smile ever so gentle and mischievous. 

As his eyes trailed down to Jungkook's body on the floor, his smile slowly disappeared and a thin line took its place. 

"Y/N?" He questioned.

"Trevor." I replied to his question as he furrowed his brows in anger.

"That filthy bastard. I'll make him pay for this." Jimin walked over to the unconscious body of Jungkook, gently taking him in his arms as he slowly shook him awake. "Hey bud, you ok?"

"Trev- Trevor, I think he took Y/N. Someone carried her away before I completely passed out. It's got to be him."

"I know Jungkook, he left a note calling Taehyung over."

"Then let's go." The younger man panted as he tried to get up. The Dark Lord put his hand on his shoulder forcing him to sit back down. 

"I'll go alone. You need to recover first."

"Are you crazy man? You're really gonna go there alone? Not at all. I'm not letting you go there." Jimin looked up as his tone overflowed with concern. 

"I'll be fine. Just get Jungkook up to the sky. He'll heal better in his surroundings. If something does go wrong, I'll call you. Just be on stand-by."

"Jeez, you always tell us to be on stand-by but you hardly call us no matter how bad it gets."

"Just do it this once."

"Fine." The Lord of Lust nodded his head as he opened the portal to the Sky Kingdom and took Jungkook with him. 

Taehyung stood and watched as the golden portal closed behind the two. "Let's get this over and done with."

He went to his room and started preparing for his departure. All that he could think of was what would happen at Garzooka. He knew that he was strong but competing with the Garzookan King was also no joke. The role of being a king or a ruler is determined upon strength, power and resilience. And Trevor had all of those. But that's not what bothered him, what bothered him was that despite the fair deal of the fight, Trevor would obviously try to get around his way off the book.

He was finally set to go to the realm of Garzooka. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Taehyung kicked the door of Trevor's palace open and there he came face to face with countless numbers of soldiers. Looking at the crowd, he closed his eyes as black and green smoke arose and covered him. As the smoke collapsed, his true demon form was exposed. His demon form and presence was enough to tell the soldiers who the real boss was, his eyes blazing green and his huge wings as deep as the night warned each and every one of the soldiers that they are in for huge trouble. 

Clicking and clattering sounds soon filled the palace, swords hitting each other filled the air as the Dark Lord made his way around the palace, fighting off the soldiers on his own.

He came in contact with the prison guard, a short but bulky man who wasn't ready to give up any sooner. Their face off was intense as both attacked each other in an attempt to win. Taehyung finally defeated the man as he tripped and fell to the ground after a strong blow from The Dark Lord's sword. 

He picked the man up by the collar and asked, "Where is Y/N?"

"She's not in any ordinary cellar, she's kept in a special cases room. That way." He said as he pointed to the direction of the most secure room in the palace.

Taehyung let the man go as he lifted his sword over his head and brought it down in a fast motion, cruelly slicing the life out of the prison guard. He stepped over the body and made his way to the special cases room kicking the door open.

He found Y/N injured and chained up, sitting in the corner of the room. He walked up to her and swung his sword on her handcuffs, breaking the locks free. Y/N looked up at the tall man in front of her whose eyes changed from its dominant green to smooth brown colour. 

"Wow, you're actually here to save me from Trevor? Why would you, I know you don't care about me, it's your royal position that you care so much about."

He crouched down and held her face in his hands in silence. He ran his thumb over her injured lips and asked, "You okay?"

Y/N was too stunned to speak as she continued to look into his eyes. He slowly let go of her face and hugged her, wrapping his arm around her waist. They stayed like that for a while before Y/N slowly hugged him back. 

(graphic drawn by WLOP, you should check the others. It's so amazing)

She didn't know why but she liked it and hoped that this moment never ended. It was like she was floating and that she was free from all the cruelty around her. On the other hand, Taehyung didn't know why he hugged her but he felt warm and... Assured. He didn't know what kind of assurance he had, the fact that he would take Y/N away from Trevor or the fact that she was safe and still alive. 

"Let's get out of here" Taehyung said as he let go and Y/N nodded her head in agreement.

He helped Y/N stand up on her feet as they walked out of the cellar. 

"Can't you ever play fair and according to the deal Taehyung?" An unfamiliar voice spoke up from the corner of the main hall.

The sudden approach of the person caused Taehyung to sharpen his demon form and blaze his green eyes again. He panned his eyes around the room to search for the voice. From behind the pillars, the Garzookan King emerged. 

"Trevor." Taehyung gritted his teeth as he continued. "You are going to have to pay for it. You entered my kingdom and attacked one of my rulers. You WILL be paying for all this."

He sat Y/N down and walked towards Trevor in his demon form, drawing his sword in preparation for the fight. 

"Let's end this once and for all."

"Indeed"

The flaming light streamed in through the palace windows as the sun hung low on the horizon of the Garzookan realm, creating long shadows. The two Kings, each cunning and determined to win, watched each other fiercely as their swords gleamed in the light, and the heavy air crackled with suspense.

The Dark Lord carried the burden of previous battles. The sun's dying rays shone off his broadsword, carved with runes that told tales of innumerable victories. The Garzookan King moved like a skilled duelist, with a fluid grace. His two short swords glinted with a deadly charm, extending like extensions of his limbs.

Without warning, the clashing began. With a booming roar, Taehyung charged forward, his broadsword slicing through the air with complete strength. Trevor retaliated with quick, deliberate blows, dancing around his attacks with his short swords a blur of skill. The sound of steel hitting steel reverberated throughout the hall, a war symphony that matched the ferocity of their competition.

The two danced frantically, switching between assault and defence while their blades became a blur. Trevor's skill and Taehyung's raw might clashed to create an exciting battle for supremacy. With every clash, sparks burst forth, lighting up the place like a whirlwind of vanishing stars.

As the sun began to set, the hall was bathed in shadows with flashes of sword glinting in the light. The fighters continued, using a combination of cunning, instinct, and unwavering resolve to propel themselves forward. With every feint and thrust, their past was bearing down on them; it was a story inscribed in the abrasions on their swords and the sweat on their brows.

In an attempt to terminate the duel with a crushing strike, Taehyung delivered a strong overhead swing as the fight approached its peak. But Trevor made a bold move, evading the onslaught and unleashing a barrage of quick blows. The Dark Lord faltered, his barriers cracked, but he recovered with one more push of strength, trapping the werewolf in a tight situation.

The fighters, panting heavily, were far away from each other, engaged in a silent but intense glare-fight. The two monarchs' resonant breaths were the only sound audible in the quiet arena. A tribute to the clash of talent, will, and the unwavering spirit of Kings in the last vestiges of daylight, the intensity of the sword fighting scenario lingered in the air. 

Taehyung looked over his shoulder to take a glance at Y/N when he was struck by Trevor.

"My dear friend Taehyung, you should always have your eyes on the opponent's blade and their next move. You never know when you will be struck. You're so young and naive, how are you even a King?"

Taehyung fell to his knees as a crimson dark thick fluid leaked from the cut.

"Oh no, are you bleeding?..." Trevor's mocking tone echoed from Taehyung's left ear to his right as he stepped over him and walked over to Y/N harshly gripping her face in his hand.

"Look, he came to save you but looks like he needs saving first." He looked up from Y/N's face to Taehyung's. "Now as per our contract... what was it?.." He pretended as if he were recalling their deal.

"Ah! Yeah, the one who wins keeps the girl and the one who loses, well, loses his life. Are you ready to die? Hehe, you're already dying. Who's gonna look after the girl now?" Trevor asked as he eyed Y/N, trailing his eyes from her face down to her body.

Y/N punches him in the chest but her hit was nothing compared to the size of the King, especially when he was in his werewolf form.

He harshly grabs onto her hand as she turns her head in disgust and her eyes fall on Taehyung as he collapses after losing consciousness.

"No, Taehyung! You can't do this. Get up you idiot, get up!" She lets out a painful cry as she screams to wake the unconscious man up. 

Taehyung laid completely still and limp on the marble floor of the palace as Trevor smirked in victory and started dragging Y/N away. He held her wrist harshly as she struggled with all her might punching and slapping the man to free her. 

Her heartfelt cries and sobs rang in Taehyung's ears as vivid moments of her smiles played before his eyes. 

Thump.... Thump.... Thump...

Small fluttering impulses started playing in his chest. His heart which was never supposed to beat again played its quick rhythms. His eyes flicked wide open as he took in a large gasp of air. 

"The fight is not over yet. I never gave up Trevor." Taehyung said as he used his sword as support to stand himself up. 

Trevor turned around and snarled as he looked at The Dark Lord. He took Y/N by the arm and brought her closer to him as he placed his clawed hand in her neck. 

"Drop you sword and kneel or this girl will never see the light again."

"Bro, who are you even telling? He would rather have me dead than kneel. Just kill me already, you're wasting your time." Y/N, who knew that Taehyung never kneels, advised the werewolf to end things quickly.

"Fine." The dark Lord said, attracting Y/N's attention back to him. Surprisingly, he dropped his sword and slowly started lowering down to the floor. He was about to kneel. The Dark Lord, Ruler of Hell was actually about to kneel for a normal girl like Y/N.

Taehyung lowered his head as a smirk appeared on his face. Y/N caught the idea and realisation hit her that it was his trick. Right before his knees touched the floor, he lifted his hand and his sword flew back to him as he lunged at Trevor separating his claw away from the girl's neck. 

He drew his sword back with a swift movement, he lodged his sword into the Garzookan king's chest. "I NEVER kneel." He said as he smirked and harshly pulled out the sword which caused his silver werewolf blood to spray on his face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Taehyung closed his eyes and summoned the Lord of Lust who was on stand-by the whole time. 

The golden portal opened as Jimin stepped out of it. 

"Are you ok-" his words stopped in his mouth as he looked around at the piles of bodies around the palace. His eyes then fell on the Garzookan king laying lifeless on the ground.

"This is why I was on stand-by this whole time? Do you know how many times I chewed on my nails hoping that you are okay? When you summoned me I thought that it was something REAL bad. I'm never going to be the one stand-by again."

Taehyung looked at the beautiful man steam off before he interrupted him. "Let's go back home Hyung, I have to tell you something very important."


As Y/N walked into the portal, she was quickly transported to the Dark World. As Jimin stepped in with Taehyung, he turned to him, 

"Yeah, what was the very important thing that you wanted to tell me?"


Just as the portal started closing, Taehyung spoke up, "My heart's beating again" 

"Oh Fuck..."
