Summary: 'What is it then?' yunho went closer to jaejoong and held his hand
'What's it then?' yunho went closer to jaejoong and held his hand
'This aura…don't open the box, just throw it back in the underworld'
'Why? What's in it Jae?' feeling this was dangerous yunho couldn't but want to know what was in this box
'Its water…' whispered jaejoong shivering a little knowing what water it was
'Water? I would have known if it was water I…' Yoochun frowned
'It's not ordinary water' jaejoong shook his head:' it's Styx's water for sure. The aura, I know it is'
'As in Styx the river on the boundary to the underworld?' yunho was boiling with anger now
Jaejoong nodded
Yoochun gulped, Styx was the biggest and main river in the underworld. It circled the underworld nine times and formed the boundary between the earth and the underworld. No human could cross it alive. The water would be deadly for them, and when gods drink this water it will cause them to lose their voices for nine years and then being banished from the council of gods for another nine years after. But as it also been said, that the river could gain a human immortality, but that had never been tried thought
'Why would he want changmin to drink this? It won't kill him…' Yoochun frowned
'No but it will make sure he won't be able to talk, he won't be able to give us any advice if something happened in the future' frowned jaejoong
'I'LL MAKE HIM PAY!!!' roared yunho and with him roared the thunder and lightning outside
'EUNHYUK!!'
The poor god, sleepy and pouting appeared in front of yunho at once bowing
'TAKE THIS TO SHINDONG AND MAKE SURE HE DRINKS IT WITHOUT KNOWING, SLIP IT TO HIS DRINK OR SOMETHING'
'But whatever you do you can't touch the water inside yourself' warned jaejoong and Eunhyuk feeling how serious this was only nodded bowing again and headed to the chained box and touched it with his hand, together with the box Eunhyuk vanished and yunho frowned, jaejoong rushed to hold his hand and whisper:' don't be so angry… he will be punished'
'I KNOW HE WILL! TRYING TO DO THIS TO CHANGMIN ON THE DAY OF HIS UNION… I'LL MAKE HIM PAY!' Yelled yunho again and Yoochun too walked to him patting his shoulder
'It's alright now, no harm in done, let's go outside' smiled Yoochun and led the way out of the temple again
Looking ahead of them they saw kangin getting out of his temple and into his chariot, his usual journey again, so the sun will be out soon
Seeing the king, queen and Yoochun kangin bowed to them at once
'Is his majesty alright now? We heard the thunder' he bowed looking at yunho
'I'll be soon enough' hissed yunho trying to keep his voice normal as much as he could; kangin blinked not understanding but bowed again before he went to his chariot and took off
'Rest a little your majesty' smiled Yoochun tapping his brother's shoulder
'Yoochun…' yunho sighed:' thank you for always being so loyal'
'You saved me before; you are my brother before being my king. I'll always be loyal to you so don't worry. One bad apple doesn't mean the entire tree is bad'
Yunho smiled a little and nodded, he walked away with jaejoong, back to the castle, both holding hands and enjoying each other's presence without speaking till yunho spoke finally
'Thank you, for always believing in the best of me' he kissed jaejoong's palm and jaejoong smiled shyly
'I'll always believe in my king'
Smiling happily yunho pulled jaejoong into the castle and grinned.

Eunhyuk had managed to somehow sneak to the castle without being noticed by the guards. The ferryman was as always asleep waiting for the dead souls to pay him to help them cross Styx but now Eunhyuk had to go around Cerberus, and ever since yunho sent him back to the underworld that night the three headed dog had been in a very bad mood, and he had really hard time escaping him alone to spy on Shindong but now with this big box beside him how was he going to escape the dog?
Sighing Eunhyuk hid behind the black stone wall covered with skeletons and candles watching the three headed dog sleep and snore loudly
Frowning thinking of a way to sneak in Eunhyuk knew he must use his speed but to do so he had to get rid of this big box holding him back. The queen had said no to touch the water but the rest must be safe to touch, right?
Deciding to go with this idea as dangerous as it was Eunhyuk removed the chains from around the box and pushed the cover open
Inside the box were two golden goblets filled with water, frowning not seeing what was so dangerous about the water, Eunhyuk held on one goblet careful not to spill any water and with that he used his full speed to zoom from in front of Cerberus to the stairs of the castle
He saw the dog flinch, obviously feeling that something is wrong and one of the three heads even opened its eyes halfway but after a few seconds of total silence, in which Eunhyuk held his breath, the eyes closed again and the head like the two others went back to snore
Sighing in relief Eunhyuk kept flying through the passages he already memorized avoiding any guards or even Shindong himself who seemed celebrating something by torturing a poor soul in one of the dungeon's chambers
Sneaking into the main hall Eunhyuk saw Shindong's golden goblet filled with wine waiting for him beside his throne, grinning he sneaked there and super carefully he emptied half of the wine from the goblet and refilled it with the water from the goblet he was holding before he quickly hid behind a corner watching as Shindong laughing out so loud like crazy entered the hall with some of his followers
'It must be done by now. Gods can't refuse wedding gifts so he must drink the water and suffer' Shindong grinned and sat on his throne grabbing the goblet and drinking from it at once, after the first big sip Shindong threw the goblet on the floor and opened his mouth in what looked like a loud scream although no voice came out
Knowing his mission is done Eunhyuk vanished at once to reappear in Olympus right in the castle in front of yunho who was sitting on his throne waiting with the queen beside him
'It had been done my king, he drank the water and lost his voice' Eunhyuk bowed
An evil grin appeared on yunho's lips as he nodded:' very well, go back to your temple and rest'
Bowing Eunhyuk vanished.

Junsu had grown up to be an amazingly pretty child, the still milky white skin somehow didn't get effected by the sun, the big black eyes and the silky hair, the soft innocent look in his eyes and his full lips and the tiny pointed nose made everyone fall in love with him at once
Junsu still lived with the old woman in the same small house by the sea and ate fishes, the old woman still went to fish every day, while he went to a wise man that lived near them and learnt to read and write, he also learnt about the gods and how to respect them from the old woman, but for some reason Junsu liked to watch the sea, he didn't touch the water unless he wanted to bath, he never swam in the open sea, he just sat there watching it instead of playing with other boys in his age
'Junsu' a soft yet tired voice called and Junsu ran at once to the old lady calling for him, she was standing meters away from him
'Grandma' he smiled at her giving her a small hug
'It's night already, my boy, enter the house now' the old lady smiled
'I'll soon, I want to bath first' smiled Junsu innocently and the old lady sighed
'Don't be late' she smiled and walked in first while Junsu stripped the old Chiton he was wearing and laid it on the sand before entering the water and with an old cloth he began to rub his body clean

Yoochun was sitting with yunho, jaejoong, Heechul, changmin and kibum drinking wine, changmin, Heechul and jaejoong were still talking about Yesung, god of war, and Sungmin, god of wine, and how they fit together as a pair while yunho, Yoochun and kibum sighed and drank their wine
Suddenly Yoochun felt something strange, he gasped dropping the goblet from his hand gaining all the attention at once as everyone rushed to him, he felt it again, the pure warm feeling washing all over him, that little boy must have touched the water again, Yoochun knew that now, he realized in the past nine years that every time the boy touched the water he would feel this jolt of warmness and happiness in him, it was so pure and good that he wished to feel it all the time
'Yoochun, are you alright?' asked the worried yunho
Yoochun just nodded; closing his eyes he took a deep breath and sighed before opening his eyes and looking at everyone
'It's this kid, the one born nine years ago, the one the queen protected. Every time he touches the water… I feel something strange, it's a pure feeling inside of me' explained Yoochun for the first time
'What?' blinked yunho while changmin and jaejoong frowned both thinking that there must be a connection between the boy and Yoochun; after all he was a very unusual boy, right?
