Summary:Junsu walked and walked for four straight days till he reached the next town
Junsu walked and walked for four straight days till he reached the next town, entering he looked around, people looked at him as if he was something disgusting and they all had a point, everyone was looking so pretty and handsome all looking good in high quality Chitons and golden jewelry but him looking so poor and in a ruined Peplos that didn't suit him at all and looking so dirty
Junsu lowered his head, everyone was whispering about him but he tried not to listen to the comments as he walked straight to where he knew the temple of the gods will be, this town too was sacred to changmin and his temple would be in the east side of the town as usual
Walking to reach the temple Junsu was wondering if he would be allowed in the temple looking like this, would not it be disgracing to enter the temple looking so dirty, maybe he should bath or something but there was no beach here and he didn't know where the river was
Walking east Junsu finally found the temple high on the hell with long white stairs so taking a deep breath Junsu began to climb up the stairs to the temple. Reaching the temple itself there were two guards with long spears in their rights
As Junsu was about to reach a hand to touch the enter the two guards crossed their spears denying him the access he wanted
'You won't enter looking like this!'
'You better go before we kick you down the stairs!!'
Looking at the two guards Junsu swallowed his saliva, he really wanted to enter and talk to the god but maybe they were right, maybe he was better not to enter…
Just as he was thinking that a loud lightening split the clear sky just above the temple, the two guards looked at each other shocked and scared and made a way to the boy to enter at once. Junsu sighed and bowed his head a little and entered the temple holding his breath as if waiting for something dramatic to happen, when nothing did he walked to the middle of the temple
Seeing the huge statue of the god Junsu kneeled down and bowed his head three times to it
'What brings you here to me?' a soft voice spoke and looking up startled Junsu saw the huge statue alive and talking to him
Scared half way to dead Junsu backed up a few steps crawling back
'Oh, how stupid of me' the statue looked down at Junsu and smiled softly before it returned to its original pose and stilled, a golden mist appeared that felt somehow déjà vu now and soon the live version of the statue appeared in front of Junsu
'Sorry, I didn't think it will scare you so much' changmin smiled a little
Junsu bowed again
'So, what brings you to me? Last I knew you thought I'll be biases because of uncle' changmin frowned a little
'I…' Junsu shivered a little looking at the god's feet not wanting to face him; he took a breath and went on ' have a request'
'What request may that be that you are asking from me?' changmin blinked, somehow deep down he felt this can't be good
'I… my grandmother… she told me stories about the gods when I was a little…teacher…err, Yoochun shi did too…' Junsu hesitated again
'I'm well aware of that' changmin smiled a little
'They also told me about all the gorgons and the monsters too…'
'And?'
'They told me that once you turned a woman, a mortal woman, into a Medusa and senate on her to spend eternity in a cave on the island Rock Rose -Cisthene- in the red sea…'
Changmin frowned, he hated Medusa. She was evil.
'Why are you asking about her now? She was beheaded already and we got rid of her, I got her head on my buckler' frowned changmin
'And she had no more heart, after you cursed her that is…right?' Junsu whispered
'Yes…her heart was frozen and tainted with hatred and evil' changmin didn't like this and it was showing in his voice
Junsu looked around at everything but the god, he didn't know how to ask this and it was clear that the god was getting pissed with the subject
'You…cursed her, right?'
'I did, it was her punishment for disgracing my temple and having sex in it' frowned changmin
'Will you curse anyone who would disgrace your temple like that?'
Changmin widened his eyes at once, looking at the boy bewildered he didn't dare even voice the suspension out loud
'I…please… I beg you…' Junsu sniffed a little
'No. Never' changmin shook his head retreating backward from the boy stunned
'Please grant me this request…' Junsu pleaded again
'NO!!' changmin roared and the temple shook from the power of his voice
'I'll do anything… I…its better…'
'NO!!!!' changmin yelled again
Junsu shivered a little at the power of the voice but didn't stop pleading as he cried
'I…I need to rest… it hurt…it hurts badly…I can't go on…it's better to everyone…please…'
'NEVER!! MY QUEEN!!!' changmin yelled at once calling for backup
Jaejoong appeared at once frowning looking at the two
'Changmin, your voice is echoing all the way to Olympus, what's happening? You even shielded your temple so we won't be able to look upon it from up there' jaejoong frowned
'He…' changmin reached a finger that shivered with anger pointing at Junsu ' wants me to curse him into Medusa'
'WHAT?' jaejoong gasped looking at the kneeling boy crying; he walked to him and knelt down at once ' why would you want that? I thought we had a talk, I thought you will follow your heart back to Yoochun…'
'Can't…can't…must not…must not…' Junsu mumbled holding his head tightly as if it was about to explode and shook violently
Jaejoong and changmin looked at each other and both rushed to the boy trying to touch him, it felt weird, something else was there with them, something surrounding the boy and hurting him as it seemed
Junsu held his head tightly and closed his eyes seeing the images flashing in his mind as if reliving them all…
He was back on the riverside, all was black and the only faint light was from the half melted candles around, the god of the underworld was infront of him looking so scary and intimidating while just on the edge of the water flouted the soul of the old woman he knew very well, she was looking tired and in pain
'W… what's going on?' Junsu shivered, his eyes glued on the old lady
'She's suffering, she will suffer till the end of time for going against me' hissed Shindong evilly and waved his hand, the soul yelled out agony and began to writhe around in total pain
'STOP IT!! STOP IT PLEASE!!! LET HE GO!!!LET HER GO!! GRANDMA!!' Junsu began to beg and cry
'I'll let her go, I'll let your mother, father and her go and bring them back to life… is this what you want?'
Junsu nodded his head rapidly, this was his wish
'Then we will make a deal. The souls of your family for your body, you are not allowed to obey the gods, you are not allowed to go to Yoochun… you will deny him what he wants most of anything, you will deny him your body and love'
'Y…Yoochun shi? But…but you must be mistaken… why would he…?' Junsu tried to reason
'He's the man you were kissing all this time, he's also the old man who had been teaching you everything, he disguised himself to be with you… he fell for you and he wants you his… you will deny him that or I'll keep on torturing them forever and ever!!' Shindong hissed evilly and waved his hand again and the old lady yelled out in agony once again
'I'LL!!! I'LL DO AS YOU SAY!! PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T HURT HER!!' Junsu begged crying now
'Very well then' Shindong smirked and waved his hand, the old woman's soul vanished at once and he looked at Shindong just in time as three figures appeared beside Junsu making Shindong smirk wider looking at them and recognizing their auras at once…
Junsu held his head tightly and sobbed remembering the deal, he must not give in to his heart, he must not give in, his family depends on him, his mother gave him her life, his grandmother sacrificed everything for him, his father didn't even know he existed, they all will be back if he suffered a little more, if he turned into a gorgon he won't suffer and he will have them back, he will have his family back with him…
'My boy…' jaejoong tried to reach for Junsu again but it was as if an invisible shield was blocking him from the queen of gods…
'Please… please turn me into a gorgon…please…' sobbed Junsu more now
'NEVER!!" changmin yelled again, Yoochun would kill him if he even thought about granting the boy this request
'Please…' Junsu begged again and again, looking so pitiful and weak, so tired and in pain changmin was so tempted to release him from his pain, to turn him into a heartless monster but he didn't, he couldn't turn something so pure and innocent into something so evil and dark.
