Summary: Junsu looked at the waterfall and began to talk
Junsu looked at the waterfall and began to talk:' in my dream… the king of fairies told me that the truth hides in the cave of wisdom, what truth did he mean?'
The voice didn't answer; the water in the waterfall began to act really weird now, the water drops stopped moving upward and began to move sideways making a rift in the middle where a weird green light was shining brightly, slim and tall in the size of a thin human
The thing hidden behind the waterfall flew toward Junsu and landed right in front of him
Yoochun, being overprotective of his lover as he's ran to Junsu and pushed him behind him standing between Junsu and the 'he', he took a standby position ready to attack in a flash if he needed too
'I won't attack' he spoke, his voice was the same, the same voice as the one who spoke to them before
'I got my reasons not to trust you!' hissed Yoochun still in the same position
'The truth father told you about was me' he spoke again
'Father? You… I don't understand' whispered Junsu pouting
'I'm the crown prince as you might say, I was hidden since I was born here, in this cave, by my own mother, and my father didn't know I existed till the day everything happened'
'But…why?' frowned Junsu not understanding why would the prince be hidden here and by his own mother without even telling his father
'You see, my mother… was…eerr…different from the rest, she wasn't a fairy, she wasn't a witch too, nor human, she was on a higher level… can you think of a creature so high and saint that even the fairies king isn't allowed to taint?' he asked, Yoochun and yunho frowned, unable to think of a creature like this
'How about you, fairy, can you think of it? think hard' he smiled softly as them, not till Junsu looked at him he realized that he was almost naked, the only thing that covered him was a long green robe that was even sliding down one shoulder, he must of have felt Junsu's stare at him because he pulled his sleeve up fixing his robe as he still kept the same soft smile
'I…' Junsu spaced out thinking, someone who's so saint would be…Junsu could think of two, but how come he met one of them? Could it be?
Junsu looked at him and opened his mouth to talk, he hesitated not sure of it, but spoke:' the… the great nymph and Mother Nature'
'True…' he smiled a little
Everyone blinked, not believing what they were hearing
'Now, could you say who my mother is?' he smiled again
Junsu looked at him and didn't even blink; he just looked at him, at the face and the eyes, the skin and everything, the aura he got from him told him everything, he took a deep breath and answered:' mother nature'
He nodded again with a shadow of a smile on his face
'What does this mean?' frowned jaejoong
'Mother nature, my mother, got into an affair with the fairies king, something she shouldn't of have done, from this relation I was born… if anyone knew I existed… it wouldn't be good, my powers were too powerful and unstable, the body of a fairy yet the powers to control nature'
'So she hid you here?' yunho frowned
'She hid me here and commanded her most loyal nymph to keep an eye on me, so the nymph transferred herself into the waterfall to hold me captive in it'
'But… you got out' jaejoong frowned, not liking where this was going
'I did… as years past I found a flaw in the nymph's plan… as long as someone was brave and wise enough to defeat the cave's spells and manage to reach to me then I'll be free to get out of the waterfall to answer the question'
'Ohh' Junsu made a cute face looking at him
'So why did the king say we must find you?' frowned yunho, he too felt that there was still a missing fact in all this talk
'I… you weren't the first to get to me, to break the cave's spells and penetrate its defenses actually, a few years ago a young wizard came here, a very talented sorcerer and managed to reach me…I can't break free from the cave you see, I'm stuck here till the end of time, I can get out of the waterfall like now, but that's only for a short whiles, I'm attached to the cave by force' he looked sad, he traveled his eyes around the dark cave and sighed, he looked so pitiful right now that even Yoochun was having troubles keeping his standby position in front of him
'And then what?' jaejoong urged him to go on with his story
'He was so handsome, the best I ever saw, the only one I ever saw' a bitter chuckle escaped his lips as a tear dropped from his eye
'He stayed here for days telling me about everything outside, about how it's to live out there and have a lover, he told me everything there is and I was fascinated by him, captivated, and so I begged him to come again… he did, he kept coming for about a year and I… I fell for him as he did for me, the monthly visits were barely enough anymore, I wanted to be his for all time, I wanted to leave with him' he paused again
'And…?' whispered Junsu, he wasn't surprised to find himself whispering when there was no need to, he was holding his breath as he talked, the story was so sad
'He began to search for a way to break my mother's curse, he asked the cave and it told him about a book, a very old spell book that had the abilities of no other, it have the spell we needed, the spell to free me from here'
'But…' frowned Yoochun knowing this was coming
'But there was a price to pay; a great request like this must come with a great price, he had to travel to lava dimension to get the book as it was locked down in the biggest volcano there guarded by the most rabid dragon there, he didn't hesitate and went, he was determinate to get the book no matter what…'
'And?' Urged yunho
'He never came back for months ago, I'm so worried about him, and I don't know what happened to him' more tears kept falling down his eyes
'But…' frowned Junsu talking a few steps backward
'Huh?' everyone looked at him; he too was eyeing him, as of pleading him to tell him what happened next
'My… my father was killed there a while ago, just before the evil king took over the realm of magic, I went to try an save him, but I was too late, I found his body on the first mountain there, ripped into pieces by some evil spells' Junsu began to tear up too
'No! No! He can't of have done that… you don't know him, he's the best there is, his heart is so pure! He can't kill someone, no!' he began to shake, as he did the whole cave began to shake too
'Calm down or we all will be buried here!!' yunho yelled at him but he didn't seem to listen, he just fell on the ground shaking and crying
'It couldn't be him' stated jaejoong as he took a few steps forward looking at him; he looked up at jaejoong with pleading eyes
'I trust you when you say he's a pure heart, only pure heart would be able to enter the cave, so he's a pure heart for sure' decided jaejoong, the rest just took his word for it, he was the one with the most knowledge in these things after all
'But…' began Junsu
'No one ever escaped the lava dimension, we can all assume that there is a reason for that, Aresad told me once that things other than dragons lived in the lava dimension, it could be one of them' frowned jaejoong
'Aresad? Aunt Aresad told you?' he stood up at once looking up at jaejoong, he ran to him and held both his shoulders shaking him lightly pleading:' you know aunt Aresad?'
'She…she taught me everything' jaejoong frowned at him, did he just say aunt Aresad?
'She…so you're her successor?' he mumbled looking up at jaejoong who just nodded
'You can control time… you're her successor… the book, you can claim it… it's yours now…'
'What are you talking about?' angry, yunho pushed him away from jaejoong and stood between them
'The book… the one he went after… it belonged to aunt Aresad, she hid it because she knew its powers… she was afraid that the powers will fall into the wrong hands so she hid it there, you're her successor so you'll be able to claim it' he mumbled still looking at jaejoong with pleading eyes
'You call her aunt Aresad, why?' frowned jaejoong
'She… Aresad wasn't a normal witch; her powers matched if didn't surpass all the other guardians, when I was born she took care of me for five years, I wasn't a wizard so I couldn't be her successor, she took me from my mother and hid me with her for five years, finally she grew ill and couldn't go on so she returned me back to my mother before she vanished, later I knew she died… my mother locked me up here three days after aunt Aresad died' he spoke bitterly as more tears slid down his pale face
'I see…'
'So what should we do now? The king said the way to save everything was here, you… how could we save everyone?' Junsu asked pleading
'I don't know… all I know is that the book had the most powerful spells, if it couldn't save everything, then nothing can!' he spoke with extra bitterness now
'And…' Junsu hesitated
'My time is running out… I must go back to my prison soon so ask fast' he looked at Junsu
'Why is he killing all the fairies? He's slaving all the rest, but killing the fairies, why?'
'An old spell…having ninety nine fairies killed, which to say all fairies registered, will give him the ultimate powers to control everything… but then you came and destroyed his plan… the fairy number one hundred, the one unknown about, unregistered, and now he must kill you too, you're the only thing standing between him and his powers' he spoke softly, his voice getting fainter and fainter as he began to fly upward again back to his prison
'We'll come back for you, I promise' yelled Junsu after him as he vanished and the water sealed the rift and began once again to run upward the waterfall
'Let's go back home… I need to do some researches' mumbled jaejoong and they all nodded and walked out of the cave, the second they did they all felt their powers back and quickly jaejoong opened a portal and they all went back to appear in the living room of jaejoong's lair
