Summary: Every eye turned wide looking at the queen, jaejoong's words echoed a few times in their minds
Every eye turned wide looking at the queen, jaejoong's words echoed a few times in their minds
'But your majesty… this can't be' changmin, ever the god of wisdom, whispered
'But it happened, I stand by my words' smiled jaejoong turning his head to look at everyone before looking at his husband waiting for him to speak
'Why was this child born?' frowned yunho, this was a long night for sure
'I helped his mother, nine months ago, she begged in my temple pleading me to help her unborn baby so I did, I sent her someone to help' jaejoong frowned
Yunho looked at jaejoong and began to boil:' AND WHY WOULD YOU HELP A MORTAL?'
'Father' whispered changmin as once as thunder roared more outside
'She came to me for help, she could of have killed her baby and became the king's lover, his mistress but she decided to protect her baby, to sacrifice everything for her baby and the memory of her husband. I took pity of her and sent an old lady to help her escape' jaejoong looked away not facing the king but looking at the stars lining up outside
'This boy should be killed! A boy like this without fate can't exist…' began yunho
'I'll protect him!' jaejoong announced:' I won't have him killed! His father died without seeing him, his mother died giving birth to him, this boy was born just as the stars lined up' jaejoong taking pity on the orphan baby defied his king
'YOU WILL GO AGAINST MY ORDER? YOU WANT ME TO SEND YOU TOO TO THE DEPTH OF TARTARUS?' roared yunho and with him roared the thunder outside
'Father, please' changmin pleaded now
'This boy could be dangerous; he could be a monster, a threat to us!'
'But father' began changmin:' he could also be an innocent boy, father you created mankind, you took pity on them too, this boy is innocent and did nothing wrong so why should he be punished?' reasoned changmin
'He…' sighed yunho still angry
'He will never know a mother's love, he will never know what family is or peace, he will always be missing something in his heart, he will have a share of suffering without a god adding to his misery' jaejoong looked around now and everyone lowered his gaze
'I think we should leave it to the stars' changmin whispered again and stopped looking at his father for a permission to talk, when yunho nodded his head at him changmin went on talking:' he was born as the stars lined up; maybe it's up to the stars to decide his fate, his fate is still unwritten, his destiny unfolded yet. We should wait and watch over him for now'
'Alright' sighed yunho nodding his head:' Eunhyuk, keep an eye on him, tell us if he shows a signs of anything unnatural' ordered yunho and Eunhyuk bowed his head at his king
'This gathering is over' announced yunho, the thunder had vanished now and the sky was calm, Kangin was getting ready for his usual journey in his chariot*2 while the rest of the gods went to their temples.

Jaejoong, the queen of the gods went to the palace, walking into the castle he sat down outside on the edge of the cloud and looked down upon the earth, watching the baby boy crying beside his mother's lifeless body and sighing, the boy was to suffer just as he's suffering being married to an unfaithful husband
'You seem to have taken interest in the boy' the voice from behind him startled jaejoong making him look upon his husband and smile weakly:' how are you feeling my king?'
Sitting down beside his wife yunho sighed; the fact that his own brother betrayed him still bothered him endlessly but knowing that he got such a loyal wife to rescue him when he hurt him over and over through the centuries made him smile and take his 's queen's hand into his patting his palm softly
'Thank you, for helping me, even when I myself closed my eyes on everything'
'It is a queen's duty to be there next to his king'
'I'll be faithful to you from now on, I promise' smiled yunho weakly promising himself that he won't go down to earth again to hook up with ladies, not when he had such a loyal and pretty wife waiting for him all the time
Jaejoong smiled weakly hearing the king's promise; he sighed and relaxed his body on the cloud looking at the still crying boy
Watching jaejoong yunho smiled, his wife was pretty, was it him or was the light of the morning's sun making him look so pretty, showing the milky skim, the slender waist, the red lips and the pointed nose, the big dark eyes and everything, everything looked pretty in the queen that yunho wondered how come he didn't notice that before
'Won't you join me to rest? My pretty queen' smiled yunho watching as jaejoong blushed, he looked away hidden his face from the king while still smiling wider now yunho stood up offering his hand to his wife, taking his husband's hand jaejoong stood up and allowed his king to lead him inside the castle to rest together.

The old lady held onto the newborn baby in her hands, he looked so pretty, just like his mother, around the baby's neck was an old chain and in it the ring the lady hid for her son, the old woman wanted to keep it around the baby, give it to him since now so holding the boy who was naked wrapped in a white piece teared from an old Himation and playing with the ring with his tiny hands she sighed. In front of them was the dead body of the boy's mother.
The body was washed and anointed with oil and dressed, it was laid on a bed of vine and myrtle leaves with the feet toward the door of the house, ribbons of laurel and celery decorated the body and the walls around it
The five women who helped bring this baby to life were at the bed, singing and lamenting at her, even though she didn't mix with anyone that much but she always helped those who needed her, everyone respected her, everyone was shocked and saddened by her death, just as she had her baby too. A few men were standing by the corpse mourning silently
This was the second day after death, tomorrow they will take her to her grave, the old lady stayed by the body all the time holding the baby so close, she wanted him to see him mother for as long as he could even though he wasn't going to remember her later on, still she wanted him to be near her as long as he could before they separate for good
Suddenly a few soldiers, soldiers that didn't belong to this kingdom walked through the door, looking around the old lady recognized them at once, even though nine months had passed she still recognized them, they were the ones after the lady, if they knew of the baby, they will kill him for sure
Standing up and acting normally the old lady walked outside the house as if she was a stranger to it, when she reached outside she held the boy tightly and began to run as fast as she could, she knew the soldiers will ask around how the lady died and they will know she died giving birth to the boy and so they will kill him, all the time the lady was worried that they will find her baby and kill him, she wasn't going to let that happen, she was going to try her best to protect the boy just as his late mother did
Running and running she found a man driving an old cart filled with wool and driven by a horse passing by, she rushed to him:' won't you help this old lady, noble sir?'
'Where are you going to?'
'Anywhere is fine, my boy, we just need to get away from here' the old lady smiled and climbed up the cart beside the man, he helped her up and shook the rein in his hands, the horse began to move again pulling the cart
'I'm heading to the sea, I must deliver the wool to the ship before it sails or I won't get the money I was promised'
'Where is the ship going to?'
'A far away land, I don't know where exactly'
Nodding her head the old lady smiled weakly and turned to look behind her, the house and the village were behind them now, growing farer and farer as the cart took them away.

Eunhyuk, the messenger of the gods, sighed tiredly as he landed in his temple again; he had been going all around doing his usual work and still going down to earth undercover to keep an eye on the baby, just as his king ordered him to.
'You seem tired' a voice from behind him startled him so turning to look he sighed, it was donghae
'It was a full day, his majesty yunho wanted me to spy on Shindong too and I had to go check on that baby too' sighed Eunhyuk stretching out the two tiny wings on his sandals and relaxed himself on the clouds looking up at donghae:' what are you doing here?'
Smiling donghae sat down beside his friend and shrugged:' got bored I think'
Chuckling softly Eunhyuk shook his head and sighed, again, donghae came here without a reason, this was happening a lot lately, not that he was complaining, it was good to have someone to talk to after such a long day of work
'So, how was the underworld?' asked donghae, none of the gods were in the underworld, none but yunho, Shindong and Eunhyuk so he wanted to know
Frowning remembering the sight Eunhyuk shivered a little making a sore face at donghae and didn't answer, he didn't even know how to put that horror in words, plus seeing how Shindong was torturing those poor souls made him feel more disgusted that he was thankful to get out of there
'Aish!' sighed donghae hitting the side of his head softly and tilting his head a little to the side shaking it as if trying to get water out of his ear
'What's it?' blinked Eunhyuk
'Those mortals. It's time to plant the fields and they are all praying to me to bless their fields, it's getting annoying with all those voices in my head all pleading together'
Eunhyuk just chuckled a little and sat watching his friend.
