Summary: The flames looked at each other and at Yoochun
The flames looked at each other and at Yoochun, he was their master, the only one allowed to order them around and Yoochun nodded, the flames moved aside and jaejoong taking a deep breath stepped his foot into the mist
The flames rushed to Yoochun and hissed:' he'll freeze'
'He won't, he's the successor of Aresad. He owns the book' Yoochun explained as he was kneeling beside Junsu and hugging him to his chest:' why is he acting like this?'
'The fairy is connected to the magic; he hears the souls of every evil creature ever vanished into the fire, but never before we saw a fairy react this badly, usually they could feel something odd but that's it… he's different' the flames hissed to each other but Yoochun heard
'What souls?' Yoochun ordered
'The evil souls always get vanished into here; they yell in agony for the end of time, they're trapped in the fire itself, they fight each other for survival and so they swallow each other, and by the years one huge soul formed, a mix of all badness, the evilest soul of all, and it began trying to break free, it wasn't powerful enough yet but just then a wizard arrived, he was seeking the book which wasn't his, he came too far and in his desperation to get it he casted a spell, a powerful spell that weakened our defenses, a part of the souls were able to escape too, and he, feeling guilty decided to seal the crack in the imprisoning spell with his own body, till now he's still there glued with the spell and fighting so no more souls will escape'
Yoochun's mind began to overwork, the wizard, the souls that escaped, the king, the book, the prince, the lover and everything, they all seemed to fit together now, in a way he never imagined, it was so easy and right in front of him, it made sense now, everything made sense for him
'Jae! Get the book already!' yelled Yoochun, if he was right then they had less time than they thought they had
Yoochun held Junsu to his body tighter and sighed, looking at jaejoong who was taking one step in front of the other only a few steps away from the book
•´¯¥¯`•❤•´¯¥¯`•
Jaejoong held his breath now, he took another step forward, he could hear Yoochun yelling for him to go quicker, but he didn't understand, jaejoong was going the fastest he could, but as he had to fight against the spell in every step he took, to fight against desires and images showing in front of him, showing him what he wanted most or feared most so he'll panic, so he'll stop and get trapped in the mist, he had to fight giants images of changmin doing THINGS to his baby brother which only made him want to kill the boy even though he knew they were only his imagination, and images of him and yunho safe and sound, both sitting together hugging or kissing or even more, images that he wouldn't have liked anything more than to stop and watch, if it wasn't a lie, if Aresad hadn't told him before about the spell and what's does to people's minds
Finally jaejoong reached the book, reaching it he felt a soft wave of electricity run though his hands and to his body as his hands went through the golden light to touch the book, he passed the last protective spell, he knew that the second he touched the book, it laid in his hands powerlessly as he turned around, the mist and everything was gone, lava, burning lava replaced it and jaejoong wasn't able to move now, any step and he would burn to death
•´¯¥¯`•❤•´¯¥¯`•
Yoochun too saw the lava appear surrounding jaejoong and trapping him, he knew the only way to help him is by going there to save him, looking at Junsu who seemed a little bit better now Yoochun sighed, he laid Junsu so his back will be against the wall and rushed into the lava to jaejoong, the lava felt like a stream of warm water against his body, he was in till his waist, but couldn't feel the heat, just a soft warmness and so he reached jaejoong
'Hop onto my back' Yoochun spoke as he turned to give jaejoong his back, jaejoong pouted a little, he would like it to be yunho here and not Yoochun, but as yunho was still trying to stand up he knew Yoochun was his only choice, frowning he hugged the book with one hand and jumped on Yoochun's back circling his legs around his waist and one hand around his neck
Yoochun frowned a little feeling jaejoong land on his back, he walked back to the other side of the chamber where the floor was made of stone and not lava and kneeled down so jaejoong could get off and run to his lover while he looked around for Junsu, he was nowhere in sight! Right now Yoochun began to freak out, running everywhere looking for his lover, when he noticed Junsu at the far, other end of the chamber, past the lava swamp and at the thin stone floor walking through a hole in the wall that Yoochun was sure wasn't there before
'SU!!' Yoochun ran after Junsu while worried jaejoong and yunho slowly followed them
Yoochun ran after Junsu as the fairy walked down a very old snail like staircase to another level, there was the scariest, weirdest thing Yoochun had ever seen, and trust me he had seen a lot as a hunter, even yunho and jaejoong gasped as they finally reached after them
There, in front of them was like a huge net made out of lava in the middle of the dark room, inside the net was some sort of a cage where some weird black things yelled and swam, evil souls, everyone guessed that by now, but right there in front of them was a man, a young man not older than them by a lot, he was glued to the net blocking the evil spirits from going out as behind him seemed a rip in the net
As he looked at the man Junsu shivered, he was about to fall down, but Yoochun was quick enough to catch him and pull him back up
'Su baby?' Yoochun shook Junsu a little, Junsu opened his eyes a little and looked at Yoochun, at his lover, he smiled weakly and reached his hands circling Yoochun's neck trying to pull himself upward a little as he whispered:' chunie… I wanna go home~'
'We'll honey…soon' Yoochun kissed Junsu's lips shortly and assured him, looking at the two flames he was about to ask, but then he remembered and the question faded, he didn't need to ask anymore but then another question formed in him mind:' isn't there any way to fix the net, to free him?'
'Only if the net is fixed, but even us will burn if we get near it, everything will' the flames hissed stepping away from the net
Yoochun frowned, looking at Junsu's eyes he sighed and walked to yunho, he seemed stronger now, he was able to stand straight at least:' here, hold him for a second'
Without asking yunho held onto Junsu and watched as Yoochun walked to the net, as he did the tattoo on his bare back began to glow red. Yoochun stepped closer and closer to the net till he was standing right in front the man, as he did so the man opened his eyes wide so suddenly startling everyone as he stared at Yoochun right in the eyes with a solid scary look, Yoochun waited to see if he was going to talk, but he didn't, instead Junsu held his head tightly and yelled in pain again, the whispers were filling his mind again as he began to whisper:' mustn't… free the spirits… mustn't… mustn't…'
Yoochun frowned, he knew what was the reason of his lover's suffering now, with his both hands he held the man's shoulders and pulled him forward and as if skinning him off the net, he pulled him free opening up the rip in the net, spirits rushed to the rip at once wanting to escape, but Yoochun had reached and grabbed one side of the ripped net in each hand, it felt hot, but yet it wasn't unbearable, he pulled the two sides of the net and tied them together making a big tight knot before dusting his hands and turning to look at the flames:' there, good enough?'
The flames only watched the tight knot and the spirits trying to escape and nodded, they couldn't break through the knot, it was safe
The man fell on his four as he panted, his back was all bleeding with red burnt marks of the net on it, Yoochun walked to him and pulled him up, the man shivered a little, but Yoochun didn't wait, he spoke at once:' now get out of my baby's head and allow him to relax'
The man opened his mouth, it was obvious he didn't use his voice for so long because as he tried to talk only a cracked whisper escaped:' I... needed…help…'
'And now you're free. Leave my baby alone!' hissed Yoochun as he released the man and walked to Junsu at once holding him in his arms, Junsu looked more relaxed now, he was able to stand by himself too
'Open a portal, we're going to free the prince and then we'll get home' Yoochun frowned, the man looked at him with a pleading look and Yoochun frowned as he spoke:' we won't leave you here, Aresad said to bring you both home with us'
The man smiled weakly and rushed to Yoochun's side while eyeing the book in jaejoong's arms, he was about to ask, but his voice prevented him from doing it and wanting to focus on his baby, Yoochun didn't bother to answer still
Jaejoong raised his hand and mumbled something, the same magical circle appeared and the portal appeared in front of them, they all walked through it, even the tired man, they reached the all darkness, once again the cave was the only source of light in front of them, they all rushed to it, Junsu was more alive now, a lot more alive, as he was away from the fire, as they entered they were greeted by the same view, the waterfall in front of them and the voice, this time it was a thin female voice and not the prince's
'You want to free the prince, you must go through the impossible first, one of you'll fight and if he won then you'll be able to try and free my prisoner'
'I'll go' everyone spoke together, they all eyed each other, but then Junsu spoke:' chunie, yunho and jaejoong, you guys can't use your magic here, you won't be able to fight and snowflake isn't here to help, you sir…' Junsu pointed at the young man ' you're still too weak, I know you won before, but you're too weak now, I'll go'
'NO!!!' Yoochun yelled at once, he wasn't going to allow him baby to go fight god knows what without him there to help
'I'll be fine chunie~ and if something bad happens go outside the cave and jaejoong can reverse the time' smiled Junsu weakly, Yoochun was still not convinced, but Junsu walked forward:' I'll fight'
'Very well then' the thin voice spoke, the water in the green waterfall froze a little, they went to go upward against nature after three seconds, but a light appeared from it, a light that went straight into Junsu and he vanished as Yoochun tried to catch him, to hold him back, but failed, and now he had to watch as Junsu fights alone
•´¯¥¯`•❤•´¯¥¯`•
Junsu looked around him, he was on a beach? It felt so nice here, but yet weird, the breeze of air felt so heavenly refreshing after the heat of the lava dimension, but the water felt odd, the waves felt so shallow and it didn't feel right to Junsu, it felt fake?
Junsu walked on and on, he could feel eyes on him watching his every move, yet he kept on going forward till he saw it, as big as a mountain, and scarier than everything he saw, there was a Skelton dressed in a black robe and holding a sand watch in his hand. Junsu was afraid to go on, but he did, he went and stood right in front of the creature and then he saw it, the person inside the Skelton…
