It was a buzzling day in the Changdeukgong palace as servants scurry from places holding basins and wet towels. They had a frightened expression on their faces as they entered the royal room one by one with sweats covering their faces.
There were at least 10 physicians inside the room who were as hardworking as the servant but they know that none of them would be able to provide a cure.
It was an unsettling matter to the people of the Hanok village. Their legendary god is sick. It is impossible for an immortal to get sick but the god Sang-je, courtesy name Kim Namjoon the heavenly emperor and the king of god's, apparently on his travel to one of the heavenly places, caught a disturbing illness that even the heavenly physicians cannot give cure.
"It is best for us to tell the other majesties." One of the physicians announced. The other 9 looked at each other and nodded. The god's partner stood by his husband's side as tears relentlessy flowed from his flawless skin.
Dalnim, courtesy name Kim Seok Jin. The great grandson of Jacheongbi the goddess of agriculture and the son of Jowangshin the goddess of the hearth and home .
As the news about the great god was spread from the mortal realms, people from all nations started to dwell in0 sadness, anxiety and some even sacrificed to find
So the 3 majesties from heavenly kingdom were summoned onto the heavenly kings palace.

From the realms where luck and happiness resides, Seokga, courtesy name, Jung Hoseok, the god of trickster and the son of Haemosu, the god of sun was having the time of his life.
His long, yellow robe made of the finest silk flowed with the clear water of the river. He was sitting on a rock nearby the lilly pond. The pond near the river gives off cool feeling as the breeze whipped through his black hair. His robes flapped like wings as he smoke from his long thin pipe.
He was having the moment of his life watching as fishes surround his feet. Though his sweet moment was interupted by one of his servant who came shouting looking for him.
"Master! Master!" The servant shouted as he panted heavily.
Hoseok looked at him annoyed.
"What? You disturbed my peace. Speak" he ordered.
"Master, a message was sent here by the heavenly realms. It's about your brother" the servant said nervously as he bowed.
Hoseok furrowed his brows as the servant handed him the golden scroll.
"You may leave" he again ordered. The servant bowed and left.
As he read the letters, he widened his eyes as he proceeded to his chambers.
His maids greeted him as he entered.
"Prepare a carriage. We're going to the heaveanly realms" he said to one of his maids.
"Yes master" the maid replied respectfully.

Down beneath the depths of the earth where darkness loomed over the place. A man in black robe sit boredly on his throne. Though his skin is in contrast to the darkness as his pale, snowy skin glistened within the room.
Paritegi, courtesy name Min Yoongi, the god of the underworld looked over at the souls before him.
He still has many souls to lead and he's already exhausted thus resulting him to sit boredly on his throne.
He asked one of his trained servants do the job for him as he idled around. He was about to fall asleep when one grim reaper approached him.
"A message from the heavenly realms master" the goblin said as he handed him a golden scroll.
He took the scroll and read what was written in it.
"Prepare the portal" he commanded the reaper. The reaper immediately obliged as he went away.

From the far distance of the realm of water, with the vast ocean and clouds, a man played his gayageum. The 12 stringed zither produced a melancholic sound that reverbrates through the water.
The man wore a sky blue robe made again from the finest silk. He had his eyes closed as he meditates with his musical instrument. He is atop a peaceful lake floating in the air as he played.
He had a calm expression not even afraid in the slightest that he might fall in the lake. One white dove flew over him as it landed on his shoulder.
Within its beak was the same golden scroll as to what the two gods' received. The dove left the scroll and flew away.
With grace he slowly descended the lake and with the tip of his blue boots, he gracefully jumped to land.
He carefully read the message and after awhile, he took hold of his sword. He was about to mount it when one of his disciples came.
"Where are you going master?" The boy asked. He had the same robe but the design is different.
"I'll be away for awhile. Take care of the place for me. Continue with the studies and practice your meditation" he said calmly
Habaek, courtesy name Jeon Jungkook, the water god, mounted his sword as he proceeded to take flight to the heavenly realms.

One by one, the god's of different realms entered the heavens. Everyone was amazed and awed as what stood before them were the known gods'. Their beauty uncompared but all their expressions are grim.
The heavenly physicians greeted them and gave them a brief explanation.
"I'm sorry to inform the majesties about the sad condition of their brother" Lee Kwang Soo, one of the physicians said.
"I'm afraid his majesty have come in contact with the kolona. It is a very deadly virus that once infected the god Mireuk." He explained.
"Is there no way to save him? Maybe we can transfer some of our spirit core to him" Hoseok said worriedly.
"Even with your heavenly spirit core combined, it is still useles. Treating it with other methods will only worsen the effect of the virus. There is one antidote but I'm afraid it's gone" Kwang Soo sadly said.
"Even the god of the underworld can't help him this time" he continued
"What is it?" Jungkook asked with all calmness. Even with the situation, he shows no sign of panic.
"The elixir of life" Kwang Soo replied.
"You mean we have to get the antidote by the realms of the phoenix?" Hoseok asked
"Aren't they extinct?" Yoongi asked.
"That's what I'm afraid. The last of the phoenix died as they used it to cure Mireuk 500 years ago." Kwang Soo said.
"Is there no any descendants?" Jungkook asked.
"I don't know. If you wish to know more I think you should go and ask the realm of gumihos'. They know everything about the phoenix. The god of the underworld can stay here and help us extend the majesties time. But be quick. The water god can accompany the god of deceit" Kwang Soo informed.
Jungkook and Hoseok nodded as they started their journey on the realm of foxes.
