[Embracing the shadows]
Like always, the good wins. The heroes kill the monsters. End of the story and they all live happily.
Monsters aren't born, they are made! We ourselves make those monsters and then after destroying them , we praise ourselves too. As if we did such a great thing.
Some monsters used to be humans that we abandoned, that we hurt.
There is a monster in everyone. It's you who gotta balance the good and bad side.
Yes , the monsters are meant to be killed at the end. But what if that monster was never made? What if it remained human? Maybe it would be alive now..
Yes monsters are bad. Are evil! But is every monster bad? What if they didn't chose to be so? What if they were forced into it?
What if..what if..what if!
It was raining, darkness filing up the place like always. When is it not dark? Even on the sunny days , even if the moon shining bright, even with the sky so clear , there's always the darkness surrounding that place. The people in there were dark , their fate was dark.
A man stood at his balcony, staring down at the raindrops falling on the floor. He was dressed in all black, black gloves covering his hand. His face void of any expression , his eyes held no warmth. He didn't have any reason to be warm.
Jeon Jungkook
(He looked up , turning his face towards the voice that called him. He saw another man standing there , same as him, emotionless but his eyes held a little sadness. Jungkook frowned at that) What happened, hyung?
Kim Namjoon
We found a dead body in the forest.
Kim Namjoon
Yes. Everyone is there..
Jeon Jungkook
Hm (he nods , stepping away from the railing.) Let's go.. (he says to Namjoon who nods as they both leave)
Reaching at the end of that dark place right near the forest, a crowd was gathered there. Pushing past that crowd , Jungkook saw the body of a girl lying there lifeless. She was covered in bruises , blood gushing out of her chest , near the heart..
Jeon Jungkook
Yoongi hyung.
Kim Namjoon
Who found the body?
Min Yoongi
It was Jin who saw her first. We were near the forest area , for a walk when it started raining. We stood under a tree and at a distance Jin spotted a bruised hand.
Min Yoongi
When we walked further towards it , she was there.. lying dead.
Min Yoongi
He carried her here. (he looks at Jin who stood there still staring at the dead body)
He was covered in blood due to carrying the dead body. His expression was melancholic, even if he was used to this..the sadness would never go away.
Park Jimin
Jungkookie, she was fourteen. (his soft voice resonated there, everyone silent now, only the sound of the raindrops falling on the ground and breeze that was blowing there)
Kim Namjoon
Everyone! (he now turned towards the crowd) Prepare for her funeral and then we will collect her soul.
Kim Namjoon
(he then walks towards the body , crouches down and picks the girl up in his arms like a baby. She was a baby, only fourteen, so he embraced her tightly not caring about the blood , caressing her hair , giving warmth to her cold body even when he himself had no warmth. He then walked forward and the crowd followed him to prepare for the funeral)
Min Yoongi
Jin hyung? (he walks towards Jin who now stared the ground when he dead body previously was. Now only blood remained which was slowly getting washed by the raindrops.)
Kim Seokjin
They did it! (he now looks up at everyone, his eyes fierce, he gritted his teeth in anger) It was them!
Jeon Jungkook
Why did she go there? We strictly made it clear to her.
Park Jimin
She..she kept saying she missed her brother.
Park Jimin
I tried to make her understand that we don't belong. They will never accept her but she denied saying her brother loves her a lot. He would be feeling lonely.
Park Jimin
It's been a year and she really wanted to see him , even if it's just a glimpse. She was crying. I didn't know she would go there without information any of us.
Kim Seokjin
We clearly are aware of what happens if we go there , believing they would accept us. (glances at Jungkook)
Jeon Jungkook
Hyung , are you in the mood to have a talk with some?
Kim Seokjin
Definitely. I really want to have a talk. Doesn't matter if we shed a little blood of one or two there.
Min Yoongi
Don't be so reckless! We first have to attend the funeral. Let's talk after that.
Park Jimin
Yes , Joon hyung must be waiting for us.
They agreed and then walked ahead , reaching where everyone was gathered. Ready for the funeral of Ae-cha.
Kim Namjoon
Where were you guys?
Now everyone paying attention to the funeral , the body of the girl was covered by a black cloth , her face was washed so the blood prints weren't there. The elder of them , who was a man in his 70s stepped forward.
Standing right beside the girl , he stretches out his right hand and then looks up , closing his eyes. Others also closed their eyes waiting for the elder to say something.
Eldest in the monsters
Our master , our saviour, our father who's watching us from the above.
Eldest in the monsters
Today we are sending you another child of yours. Allow us to take her soul to you. Allow us to act as the messenger of yours.
Eldest in the monsters
(he chants a few words and then fire erupts from his stretched hand and he opens his eyes. Others also do so , now everyone there holding fire in their palms. Despite the rain , their fire wasn't affected)
Eldest in the monsters
(He crouches down so the fire in his hand touches the body and in the next second, Ae-cha's body is burning in flames)
A minute after , the body vanishes in the flames. Now there's a red and dark energy floating where the body was. That's how the funeral of monsters were.
There wasn't any ash left behind after the body was burned. That body vanished and all that left behind was this energy which was considered the dark , evil energy. The reason no ash being left behind was because, something believed by the "good people" , monsters didn't deserve it. They didn't deserve to have ashes left behind and for those ashes to be served to the lord so they can be in peace. Monsters didn't deserve peace and that's why they had this dark energy that was trapped forever giving them pain and agony.
This was only believed by those heroes, not by the monsters. They believed rather than some ash , the soul is directly send to their father and the soul would be in his care.
Eldest in the monsters
(Looking at the floating energy, he brings out a red crystal ball from his pocket and holds it right above that energy)
The energy,as if by magnet , enters the crystal.
Now the energy settles there , resting in that crystal.
Eldest in the monsters
Here. Take this crystal and place it where it belongs.
Kim Seokjin
Give it to others , Elder. I have some work to do.
Kim Namjoon
(frowns) What work? You're the eldest among us. You're the one who always completes the funeral.
Kim Seokjin
But there's something I must attend! (clenches his fist)
Eldest in the monsters
Jin , you're thinking of going there right? Don't, son.
Kim Seokjin
Why not? They can't just get away from this. This was a rash decision!
Eldest in the monsters
What you're thinking is also rash!
Kim Seokjin
I am sorry elder but I am not agreeing on this.
Jeon Jungkook
I agree with Jin hyung , elder.
Eldest in the monsters
(sighs) You kids..
Eldest in the monsters
Just , I don't wanna witness any fight or a déath. Be careful
Kim Seokjin
(nods) I will.
Eldest in the monsters
Hm but first , complete the ritual. Take this soul where it belongs. Then go!
Namjoon, Jungkook, Seokjin , Yoongi and Jimin were the group who took the soul and placed it where it belonged. They had been chosen for this and Jin being the elder of them , lead them ahead.
So now they stood at the centre, the core of their forest where the souls were stored.
Entering inside , they come across the dark red interior similar to their engery.
Walking ahead and then turning right , they stand right outside the door inside which souls are kept. Jin moves forward, standing at the middle of the door where a circle is made.
Kim Seokjin
Here is the soul of your child. Please take care of her.
The circle opens and then engulfs the crystal, closing again.
Kim Seokjin
(turns around) Let's go.
Kim Namjoon
Are you really going there , hyung?
Kim Seokjin
Yes , I am. They are getting extreme and someone has to do the talk!
Kim Namjoon
Fine but I don't trust you to be calm. Specially if Jungkook is going too.
Jeon Jungkook
That we can't deny.
Min Yoongi
Namjoon-ah , go with them. You will balance them.
Min Yoongi
I don't wanna go. I don't usually lose my temper but when I do , it gets really bad.
Kim Namjoon
Let's go then, what can I say here?
Park Jimin
Just.. don't get hurt okay?
Park Jimin
Try to be calm.
Kim Seokjin
I can't guarantee but I will try.
Park Jimin
Okay , that's a bit reassuring then.
Kim Seokjin
Great. Jungkookie let's go visit that àss of a brother then.
Kim Namjoon
This is definitely gonna go wrong!
A world where at the age of thirteen, everyone is divided in two groups: One being a hero and other being a monster, a devil!
This has been happening since years and years, everywhere. All these people mentioned above have been declared as the devils and were banished from the place they grew up in. Everyone here is from a different place. All the devils were sent at just one place , inside the dark and gloomy forest. While the heroes resided in many places.
As the good and evil were differentiated , they got their power too. With the good heroes getting the power of the water element. Being able to manipulate water.
While the bad monsters were given the power of the fire element. It cannot be put out by normal rain.

The place was dark , suited well for those devils. That's where they deserve to be, that's where they have been living for years. In that area, which is separate by a road acting as a border. On one side lies the deep forest and where the devils reside. On the other side lies the heaven on earth where the good people, the heroes live , where they deserve to be.
This is Euphoria and other lands of good people are also similar to this. This is where Jungkook and Namjoon grew up till they were twelve. There were so many other people like them who were declared at monsters, devils and then thrown out of that place. Forced to run into the forest and beyond it lied the dark place which has no name.
Kim Seokjin
Oh look , we are here. (he says standing in the middle of the road which acted as a border for both areas. The downpour had now stopped and the sun was out too. They all were now looking at the forest area of that good place)
Jeon Jungkook
Even the forest is too bright.
Kim Seokjin
Yea , as if they had lit it up even in the morning. Of course, another desperate attempt to make their land seem like a land full of fairies , angel or something. Pathetic people!
Jeon Jungkook
Doesn't too much brightness blind them? (they start walking through the forest to reach the town of Euphoria)
Kim Seokjin
They are already blind so , no it doesn't effect them.
Kim Namjoon
You and your meaningless talks.
Jeon Jungkook
Don't you enjoy such talks too , hyung. Just , you're pretending to be annoyed so you wouldn't come off as childish as us.
Kim Namjoon
So you do agree that you're childish?
Jeon Jungkook
To satisfy your thoughts.
As they walked out of the forest , entering the town, the people there seemed to notice. Gasps could be heard when they realized who it was and a commotion spread , then running here and there and rumbling out statements like 'those demons!' , 'those monsters are here to kill us. Run!' and what not.
Kim Seokjin
It is quite amusing to seem them run away after daring to kill one of our people just a while ago.
Seeing such a havoc , the town heads and the other hero warriors arrived there. They stop right at a distance from Jungkook, Seokjin and Namjoon , staring at three with anger.
Jung Sung-il
What are you doing here?
The heroes there take out their sword in an alert position.
Kim Seokjin
Because you caused a mess!
Kim Hyun-bin
What mess are you talking about? You aren't allowed to step in our territory without any permission!
Kim Seokjin
(scoffs) And you're allowed to brutally murder one of our people and throw them like a trash?
Kim Hyun-bin
We did nothing wrong! She came to harm us and we protected ourselves.
Jeon Jungkook
Of course, a fourteen year old child came to harm you. Are you that much helpless and pathetic? (grits his teeth)
Jung Sung-il
She came to harm her brother. You monsters don't need any age. The evil has no innocence, it only traps us using that.
Kim Namjoon
She only wished to see her brother one time because she cared for him.
Jung Sung-il
Care? Do you even know the meaning of that word? You both, (glares at Namjoon and Jungkook) are banished from here! How dare you come back?
Kim Seokjin
They might be banished but I am not! Where is that brother? I only wish to kill him and let the rest of you go.
Byeong-ho
I have done nothing wrong to be killed.
Jeon Jungkook
Neither did your sister!
Kim Hyun-bin
She's not his anymore. She's a monster that came in a disguise of care to murder him , to revenge herself because of the evil that consumed her! That's why he killed her.
Kim Seokjin
Did you not even care about her a little?
Byeong-ho
She was a monster!
Byeong-ho
And I am a hero. We weren't connected. I only did my duty.
Kim Seokjin
Oh devil! And they call us evils, the audacity!
Kim Seokjin
We could have killed many if your people when they were running off like coward but we have morals.
Cha Eunwoo
Morals? (one of the heroes gives a mocking laugh) The monsters have morals??
Jeon Jungkook
Cause you fake angels don't! (smirks)
Cha Eunwoo
How dare you?? (his finger curl around as the water suddenly starts emerging in his hand)
Kim Namjoon
We don't have any intention to fight , so keep it down!
Kim Namjoon
We only wish to get that boy , and punish him.
Jung Hoseok
You think (he steps forward) you have the right to punish?
Kim Namjoon
I am not talking to you!
Kim Seokjin
It doesn't matter what you think. I am gonna shred him to pieces!
Jung Hoseok
We won't let you. (glares at him)
Kim Taehyung
Don't you think it is your fault too?
Kim Seokjin
Our fault? Are we pushing the blame now?
Kim Taehyung
You should have made her aware that it is not at all allowed to step on each other's land! It is an act of sin.
Jeon Jungkook
She was just a child , a naive one and also someone who truly missed her traitor brother! We did warn her but she thought this guy would be feeling lonely and she only wished her brother to be happy. That's why she came here , not knowing her brother would kill her without feeling any sort of remorse.
Kim Taehyung
We tried to stop him but he kept saying she was trying to destroy him. We had no choice.
Jeon Jungkook
Oh shut the fck up! You had a choice! You could've acted mature enough on this matter.
Kim Namjoon
I agree with that. If something like this had happened on our side , we wouldn't immediately kill that person. We would call you to discuss about it and maybe punish that person rather than brutally murdéring them.
Cha Eunwoo
Won't hesitate to kill? You do nothing but kill our people!
Kim Seokjin
We never killed your children! Never.the.children.!
Kim Seokjin
Though I don't guarantee it now.
Kim Seokjin
If any of your children even steps on that road of our forests or even right near it , I will chop off their head! No matter what their age is , even below thirteen, I would give them a brutal death!
More gasps were heard at that!
"How cruel!"
"they truly are the monsters"
"they will burn in hell!"
Jung Hoseok
How can you be so...
Kim Seokjin
Cruel? Shameless? Haha, you get used to it with time.
Jeon Jungkook
Atleast we are warning , unlike you.
Jeon Jungkook
Oh hush, don't take my name. It will taint your mouth wouldn't it , child of god?
Jeon Jungkook
We are just showing what we are.
Kim Seokjin
Not like you all , hiding your monsters behind that good person façade. Tch!
Kim Namjoon
We should leave cause this talk seems pointless now.
Kim Seokjin
I agree. I am just sad I didn't get to kill that boy.
Kim Seokjin
Don't worry , maybe some other day. I would lure you out of your hiding spot , into our forest and finish you there , burning you in my fire! (smirks)
Jeon Jungkook
He is not courageous enough to even leave his house now. Let's go , hyungs.
Jeon Jungkook
Just remember though , even if you all differentiate between good and bad,
Jeon Jungkook
Karma doesn't!
Kim Namjoon
(he grins) It was nice meeting you ,we got to know how more dirty and weak you are.
Kim Hyun-bin
(he lunges forward for an attack but is stopped by his friend)
Jung Sung-il
They are leaving, let it be.
Jeon Jungkook
Of course! (he says as they are walking away , without turning around) You won't kill us , we aren't some naive , innocent, fourteen year old kids after all!
Kim Seokjin
That's my baby! (he wraps an arm around Jungkook's shoulder)
They walk away as they people of Euphoria watch them go , in rage and disgust.
Cha Eunwoo
They cannot just come , threaten us and leave like that!
Jung Sung-il
Let that matter be. We will talk to the elders about it.
Kim Taehyung
You just threw that child there and left?
Kim Hyun-bin
Like we would step in that land! Moreover, that child was a devil.
Jung Sung-il
Dismiss! Everyone go back to their work. There is no threat anymore.
Kim Hyun-bin
Hm but Byeong come with me , we have to careful you. I think they would attack someday.
Jung Hoseok
Tae? What happened, you look down?
Kim Taehyung
Just, we watched her grow and today she was just killed like that.
Jung Hoseok
Indeed. We too grew up with so past friends , only for them to be declared monsters.
Cha Eunwoo
Guys , shall we go for our practice?
Jung Hoseok
Yes , it's time.
Sometimes those old beliefs brings us a lot of destruction in the present. Blindly believing they classification and killing a small child , what else could be more brutal than this? No one ever asked that child , no one tried to liste to her , ever her own blood called her a threat when the truth is that , the child just wanted to make sure of he brother's happiness. When your stamped with a certain label , it can't be removed so easily. Just by hearing about that label or reading that label , they will declare you things not once trying to find out what it actually is in real.
Humans can indeed be very cruel to their own being.

In our normal world, we have humans among whom there might be some sick monsters hiding in. But in this world , instead of just humans , people are classified into two categories after they turn thirteen : Hero {a person who has the power of water element, he/she is considered a good person who protects others and are kind}
Monsters {they are called with other various names like devil or demon , they have power of fire element, they are considered the evil and bad people who are cursed and are meant to be killed brutally}
If the hero kills a monsters no matter what their relationship is , it is considered as an act of bravery and goodness. But if any monsters kill a hero , it's cruel , it's a sin and that monster deserves to be burnt alive.
It has been happening since a very long time. There are certain elders who are neither considered heroes or monster, they are the people with special powers which helps them distinguish between good and bad , well that's what they think. It is mostly correct but there aren't always right which they won't admit ever. Even if they are considered neutral , most of the elders are biased, supporting the heroes. This selection is done due to a certain reason , started by some people and is continued till now in every land like Euphoria, Celestoria, Verdantia etc.
The heroes pray to their lord , to their holy god while the monster pray to their saviour, their master , the satan cause he only accepts them even if they are forced into the evil.
{No , they aren't grim reapers.}
Park Jimin
Are you hurt anywhere? (He asks with a worried expression as he was waiting at the entry side of the forest and saw Namjoon, Jin and Jungkook return while chatting)
Jeon Jungkook
No , we are fine Jimin.
Kim Seokjin
But I am not. That sick bastàrd wasn't even guilty, not even a little.
Park Jimin
Isn't that how they are , hyung? (his lips curve up a little in a melancholic smile)
Park Jimin
We deserve to die while they deserve to live.
Kim Namjoon
We don't. We don't deserve to die.
Kim Namjoon
Never forget Jimin , we didn't want to be what we are today.
Kim Namjoon
They made us this!
Park Jimin
But there are monsters among us!
Kim Seokjin
There are but are all of us the same?
Kim Seokjin
Some of us are here because this is our escape.
Park Jimin
Should we talk it out to the elders?
Jeon Jungkook
(snickers) To them?
Jeon Jungkook
Sure Jimin , talk it out with them. (he puts his hand on Jimin's shoulder) They will definitely listen to us, won't they? (he pats Jimin's shoulder and then walks ahead into the forest)
Kim Seokjin
You know they won't listen to us.
Kim Seokjin
Their morals don't work for us.
Kim Seokjin
You remember what we were told by them right? When they banished us..
Park Jimin
(nods and gulps)
Park Jimin
"𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 , 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫"

Kim Namjoon
(pats Jimin's hair) Don't think too much. Let's go back , mhm.
Kim Seokjin
Where's Yoongi?
Park Jimin
At our meet-up place.
Kim Hyun-bin
Is your training finished , Tae?
Kim Ye-jin
Baby , come and eat something. You must be tired and hungry.
Kim Taehyung
Don't wanna eat anything right now , mom.
Kim Ye-jin
Why? Are you okay , Tae? (she walks close to him and place the back of her hand on Taehyung's forehead)
Kim Taehyung
I am fine, mom.
Kim Taehyung
I don't really have the appetite..
Kim Hyun-bin
Is it because of what happened earlier?
Kim Hyun-bin
We did nothing wrong son. The evil should know it's limits.
Kim Taehyung
But Ae-ra was-
Kim Hyun-bin
We don't take their name, Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
It's just been an year, dad. She was raised here..
Kim Taehyung
By all of us. We adored her..
Kim Hyun-bin
Uses to adore her, until she came out as a monster. You never know what someone can hide.
Kim Hyun-bin
That's why the elders are here. To help us in finding the evil so we can stop it early and save everyone.
Kim Taehyung
Yes , you're right. (nods) Our elders know much better than us.
Kim Hyun-bin
(smiles) They do and we should be thankful to them.
Kim Ye-jin
So , do you have the appetite now?
Kim Taehyung
Hmm, I am hungry mom!
Kim Ye-jin
(chuckles) Okay , freshen up first.
Taehyung walks into the his room , taking off his outer jacket and sits on the bed , his mind recollecting of what happened before.
"𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅 , 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓!

[She was just a child , a naive one and also someone who truly missed her traitor brother! We did warn her but she thought this guy would be feeling lonely and she only wished her brother to be happy. That's why she came here , not knowing her brother would kill her without feeling any sort of remorse.]
"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒖𝒔 , 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒗𝒆 , 𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍!"
[You won't kill us , we aren't some naive , innocent, fourteen year old kids after all!]
Jungkook's words were being repeated in his mind.
Kim Taehyung
No, don't think about it Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
We aren't friends anymore. We both are different now , our paths are different.
Kim Taehyung
He isn't the Jungkook I used to know. A monster.. that's what he is now. Don't think about his words anymore.
