Summary: From another window the kind stood watching them silently
From another window the kind stood watching them silently, looking at his son and not knowing if he should be happy to see him this hard working or sad to see him fighting with the Great Saga, to see the two people he's willing to give up on his life for fighting and willing to kill each other, it just broke him on the inside, he never felt this weak and depressed before, ever since the day he met the Great Saga first…
For the rest of the day, which wasn't many hours, the gods tried to figure out how to obtain the master's powers. By night time they were all too tired. The news came from the castle, the attack was blocked successfully for the time being, but many more people were coming to the capital from all over the kingdom, when they arrive and attack again the castle won't survive. No news about the king was heard.
Yoochun looked outside the window, thinking of his lover, he was so worried and weak. He didn't think he could go on with this. He needed junsu; he needed him by his side to be strong. Hell, he only came to this world because of him, and now he had to stay calm and watch him hurt, he couldn't do this, no matter what, he couldn't do this.
Walking out of his bedroom he sneaked downstairs, Kyuhyun and changmin were the only two left up, they sat together looking at a piece of leather with drawing on it which looked somehow like a weird map, they were pointing at some spots and drawing circles at others
'I think it's enough for the night, we must rest to set out and search for the master's powers tomorrow's morning' Kyuhyun finally spoke, stretching out his hands ' let's go to bed'
Changmin nodded, he rolled up the piece of leather and left it on the table as he and Kyuhyun both left to their rooms
Yoochun hid behind the corner so not to be noticed and waited five minutes after the pair went to their rooms before he climbed down the stairs and reached for the piece of leather. He unrolled it and looked, the waterfall was drawn somehow to the north and behind it the cave was showed, the cave where the jerk kept and tortured his poor lover
Unable to stop himself yoochun folded the map and placed it in his pocket; he was going to save his lover at any cost, even if he had to die while doing so he was willing to die.
With that decision on his mind yoochun sneaked out of the front door and to the nearby stable where the horses were kept. As the stable's door creaked when being opened yoochun feared the others would hear him, but lucky him they didn't. No one came rushing out of the front door after him to try and stop him; no one moved in the house, all was quiet.
Walking into the stable yoochun took the rein of the first horse he saw, the horse was wide awake, as if waiting for him to come. Holding the rein yoochun led the horse out of the stable and walked, he didn't ride it yet, he feared that it would let out a sound and others will hear, he held the rein and gently led the horse away from the house
When they reached the markets and yoochun was sure they were far enough and safe enough he jumped and straddled his horse at once, looking around him for anyone who might be watching, no one was there. The market looked abandoned; the people were camping outside the castle's walls waiting for their friends to come soon so they could attack the castle once again
Taking advantage of the empty place yoochun shook the rein softly while pointing the horse to the north and the horse began running. It ran faster than the wind and yoochun had to stop it every now and then and check the map again, it was hard to tell where they were in the darkness, he could barely see anything around him. But he also knew that he must take advantage of the night to reach the place and attack. By morning the others would wake up and will notice he's gone. By morning he will lose the black cloak of night which hid him from everyone's eyes. He needed to finish this tonight
He had to turn east now when reaching the hanged bridge, the bridge seemed the fastest way to the waterfall but changmin and Kyuhyun had crossed it out and marked a new trail around the bridge, for it looked too dangerous to dangerous to cross
But, if he had to go around the bridge he will take much longer, it will be a big turn and he'll lose precious hours while doing so. The best choice will be to take the bridge and face whatever danger that would face him. He had a limited time span, after all
Reaching the bridge yoochun took a deep breath and shook the rein of his horse, urging him to keep on going forward, toward the bridge
The horse refused to budge; it stopped and didn't obey yoochun's orders. Hissing angrily yoochun got off the saddle; he looked around and held the map tightly. Leaving the horse behind he began walking to the bridge, as he took the first step the whole bridge, which was conveniently located over a very, very high rift, if the bridge was to fall apart and yoochun fell down, it would be the end of him for sure.
He still could back off and get the hell away from this dangerous bridge; he had only taken one step, till now. But to yoochun going back now wasn't an option, he wasn't going to take the easy road and allow his lover to be tortured, no way in hell.
'Wait!!' the yell came from behind him and startled the hell out of him, turning back he saw changmin, Kyuhyun, jaejoong and yunho all rushing to him
'We can't cross the bridge, its dangerous' changmin tried
'I don't care' he spat ' my lover is being tortured, I can't just sit still and wait' he looked around ' you can go search for this master's powers all you want, I'll go save su or die trying'
'We're going with you' yunho stated, as if the decision was already taken
Yoochun looked at them all, they all nodded at him as if agreeing and confirming yunho's words ' we will all go and fight him, the master's powers or no, we'll show him his place'
'I'm taking the bridge' yoochun turned to face the bridge once again; he took another step forward and the whole thing shock dangerously once again
'We're coming, then' Kyuhyun hissed ' I won't let him live for cutting off Sungmin's fingers'
They all got off the horses and walked to him, all grouped together they walked a step by step toward the bridge
The bridge shook harder and harder with every step they took
'What are those?' jaejoong almost squealed, looking down to the rift
'No one ever came here and survived, no one knows anything about it' changmin spat ' history books says a whole army vanished here, once. The bridge is cursed and dangerous'
Jaejoong gulped, this wasn't good. It didn't feel good. But, he kept on walking anyway, close to yunho and holding his hand, he tried not to look down, he tried to ignore the fact that they were walking on a very old looking, very unstable hanged bridge which was located over a hundred meters high rift which looked so scary and dreadful, but it wasn't working out that well
They had only taken a few more steps, but darkness was getting darker and darker, the black cloak which yoochun counted on to keep him from his enemy's eyes was keeping everything around him from his eyes, now. He was unable to see the spot where the horses were, he couldn't see the beginning of the bridge now, all behind them was black, all in front of them was black, all beneath and all above them was pitch black too, nothing was there to see
'I'm scared' jaejoong's scared, cracked voiced broke the silence
'It's alright, baby, just stay close to me' yunho whispered softly, and although he couldn't see him lover clearly he knew jaejoong was tearing up
They kept on walking, forming one man line, each one holding the back of the shirt of the man in front of him with one hand and the ropes of the bridge with the other hand, yoochun was feeling his way with his feet as he walked, trying to see if the spot was safe enough to step on or was the wood broken, the others followed in his footsteps carefully
They have almost reach the middle of the bridge when it happened, a sound other than jaejoong's worried breathing sound sliced the silence around them, a sound which scared them half way to death
It was the sound of a saw cutting something, and in the silent night the sound carried like a megaphone, magnified a hundred times.
They all gulped; there were no tries around them. The only thing which anyone could cut with a saw would be… they dreaded even thinking about it, why would anyone cut the ropes of the bridge while they're on it?
Without an answer to their question they all knew what was to happen before it happened, the bridge began to shake more than ever before, the sound of ropes snapping was heard and then everything began to fall down, fall apart toward the rift, and they fell with it
Yoochun gripped the bridge with all his might, whoever cut the bridge had cut the beginning of it, so the end was still tied, he held on the ropes tightly as he felt the others pull him down, they were all holding onto him as to not fall down and die
'Grab the ropes!' yoochun yelled at them, his tired body couldn't take the weight of all of them holding onto him, he was going to let go any second and they all will fall down into the rift and die, he wasn’t going to die, not before he save his lover, not before he kills the lowlife
The weight pulling him down lessened and yoochun knew they grabbed the ropes for sure; he took a deep breath and was about to tell them to climb up after him when the sawing sound was heard again, whoever cut the beginning of the bridge was now aiming for the end, they had no chance now. They were doomed.
'Hold tight…!' was all yoochun could say before the other end of the bridge began falling down as well, they were falling down with the bridge now, like puppets falling from the sky, they fell into the darkness beneath them
They all closed their eyes, all preparing for the worst, all ready to welcome death and admit defeat, then it happened
Chunie~ yoochun held it echo in the darkness around him, he felt it come from inside his heart and suddenly his heartbeats were the once magnified a hundred times, his heart was beating in a dangerous speed. Images of his lover popped up in front of him, it was like if old movies being played around him. All his time with his lover was shown around him and yoochun couldn't help but yell out
'SU!!!!!'
The yell echoed again and again around them in the darkness. Everyone heard it, it echoed in their minds too, it made them open their eyes and look around. It reminded them of their past, their present and their future. It reminded them of all the precious things they wanted to live on for. It reminded them of their lovers and the ones they wanted to protect
Suddenly, the idea of death wasn't accepted anymore, suddenly the idea of dying here, in this unknown place and leaving everything behind wasn't accepted. They needed to fight; they needed to win this battle. They needed to defeat death and survive to fight yet again in front of the Great Saga to save their lovers
Thinking hard, trying to survive, wanting and needing to survive something happened inside yunho, yoochun and jaejoong. Junsu's voice was heard in their minds, in their hearts, junsu was saying something, a spell, just like the one which unleashed their god's powers from the necklace. But, it wasn't the same spell, it was different, somehow this was different, and how could junsu say it? Wasn't he hurting? Wasn't he being tortured? How could they hear him? They were far away from him, right? But still, they heard him loud and clear…

A/N: I got a question for you all, when this fic ends, there are two choices after it:
one is a short fic ( ~12 chapters) which is called fairytale mess, mainly yoosu and as the name says its about ten well known fairytales
two is a long fic (~30+ chapters) which is called To Hell With Rules, again mainly yoosu with yunjae and kimin, it's a normal fic with no magic and again happy ending, love, smut, comedy, drama, angst...
which one would you like first?
