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 bastร rd 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)

["No matter how good you were or how good you do later , the destiny chose you as a sinner forever"]
Park Jimin
(he spoke those words which were now engraved in his soul and he would never forget it)
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! 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.]
"๐๐๐ ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ , ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ , ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐

[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.

Monsters are people like you who think of themselves as heroes. Seriously, how conceited is this group of people to call themselves as heroes?
