{ GOD NIMON }

“Kookie!!!” Jimin screamed when the pains became too much. He couldn’t take it anymore.

They were still kicking him around, taking turns to have him.

Another kick sent him to a fig tree, and his back hit hard on it just the way it hit on the rock.

He could almost swear that he heard the breaking of his backbone.

The torturers laughed hard, showing off their decayed set of teeth. They’re obviously cannibals.

Jimin fell lifelessly on the ground, but it wasn’t over

They carried him and threw him up, then he landed back on the ground on his head.

His forehead began bleeding, and his blood wet his face massively.

“Please…. someone save me” he muttered weakly as they dragged him up again.

They brought him to the tree and tied him tightly to it.

“I need to… find…the golden… goose… please….let me…go” he muttered inaudibly.

“Why is godmother not here yet? She should have gotten an intruder alert right now” one of the men said.

“I’ll go get her” another one said and ran off afterwards.

Taehyung was still sitting in Jungkook’s suite, crying beside his bed as the maids kept wiping his blood.

He has almost lost all his blood right now, and it kept pouring.

He suddenly held his hand and rested his face on it.

“Jungkook….you can’t die like this remember? I told you to die with me whenever you’re ready, I told you to take me along. I can’t continue living in this cold world without you, please don’t go yet…. Jungkook don’t leave…. If not for anything but for Jimin’s sake… please fight this…. please” he cried bitterly, his tears rolling down his cheeks.

Yoongi came in and sucked his teeth before laughing, then Taehyung faced him.

“Did you just… laugh?”

“Yes I did, and that’s because I find you funny. Why are you wasting your tears when father will wake up soon? He won’t die so stop the tears, it’s irritating” he replied, folding his arms on his chest.

“What did you just….say?”

“Father won’t die, stop your annoying tears” he replied and rolled eyes before walking out of the suite.

He was smiling as he made his way to the library.

“With Jimin gone from father’s life, then I’ll be at peace. I hate him and can’t watch him beside my father!” He shot at no one in particular, then he felt the rush in his ears again.

Blood came out of his ears including his nose, and when he opened his mouth to talk, it shot out of his mouth too.

He held his chest and went down on his knees as his blood started wetting him.

“I’m not crying right now. Is this something serious? No it can’t be, maybe it’s because of father’s condition” he said and spit out the blood.

He stood and tried walking, but he fell back on his knees.

“Why do I feel so weak? Is it because of father’s condition too?” He muttered, vomiting blood again.

He finally stood and staggered back to his suite where he had his bath and washed away all the bloodstains.

He changed into a new robe and came out of his room, then he met Chen waiting.

“The fact that I drank with you hours ago meant nothing” he said coldly and started leaving.

“I saw when you were sending Jimin to border town” Chen said, and he stopped.

“So? Are you planning to ring it around?” He rolled eyes, and Chen smiled.

“I’m not daft, we both hate him” he said. Yoongi sighed.

“What’s your deal?”

“I know you hate me, but since we have the same goal, can’t we’ve friends this once? We both know even if he narrowly escapes the near death experience at border town, he won’t escape the tortures when he gets here, he’d die” Chen said, coming closer.

Yoongi smiled evilly.

“Why do I always feel happy with the news of his death”

Chen held his arm, and they smiled at each other before walking out of the suite together.

Seokjin came out of his room and narrowed his eyes when he saw them.

“When did they get so close? Didn’t they hate each other?” He muttered and made to go back into his room, but he saw Wangmin by the door, and he froze.

“Wangmin” he muttered fearfully, shaking on his spot.

“You know my killer … Don’t you? Say it out to everyone! Stop keeping the secret or I’ll kill you!!! I’ll kill you!!!!!” He screamed, and his nails grew into claws.

He digged the claws into Seokjin’s arm, tearing him with it.

Blood covered the arm immediately, and as the blood started dropping on the ground, Seokjin fell on his knees and held the bloody arm.

“The wound will rot and decay till you decide to say it out. If you refuse to do it, then it’ll rot till you die!” Wangmin cursed and vanished.

“My arm! AHH!” Seokjin cried.

                              †

Wangmin’s spirit appeared back there and met the queen dowager as usual, resting on the ice coffin with tears in her eyes.

“Wangmin I miss you…. Wangmin…. My precious son…. Wangmin!!!”

Tears came out of Wangmin’s eyes as he watched her cry.

“Mother” he mumbled, walking to her.

He stood behind her and started crying with her till he vanished and became one with his body in the coffin.

                               †

Chen was touring through the orchard, grinning from ear to ear.

To think that the king might die and Jimin himself is not safe.

He parted ways with Yoongi earlier because he had to go to the library, so he came here.

He was still grinning when he felt a presence behind himself, and he stopped.

His sword appeared, and he wielded it backwards, placing it directly on the neck of the person.

“Agui?” He said surprisingly.

Agui smiled and pushed the sword away from his neck with just two fingers, then he came closer.

“I’m investigating a great energy I’ve been feeling in here for a while, you should help” he said, and Chen laughed.

“I should help? Are you insane? I’m a Prince! Not your slave! And do you think you’re safe in here?” He said.

“Why not” Agui said, and before Chen could move, he placed a short knife on his neck, and his eyes widened.

“I’ll slice off your head with this, and you’ll have no choice but die” he said, and Chen swallowed hard.

“I’m not feeling the energy today, which only means one thing, the source is not in the palace. Who’s not in the palace right now?” Agui asked.

“Jimin” Chen replied fearfully.

“The king’s mate?”

“Huh?”

“Unbelievable” Agui replied and vanished.

Chen ran out of the orchard fearfully.

                               †

Agui landed back and met Cobra blowing a flute in the pavilion.

He smiled and went closer.

“Greetings, great ruler”

Cobra’s long lashes moved beautifully as he faced him.

“Yes?”

“I found the source of energy, it’s the mate” he announced, and his eyes widened in shock.

“Jimin?”

“You know his name? Have you met him before?” Agui raised a brow.

Cobra smirked without answering, then he went in.

He sat on his skeleton chair and remembered the mark he saw on him in the woods the other time.

“It’s really as I’ve been suspecting” he smiled, fanning himself.

“Next month starts in two days, but even before then, he’ll experience just a tip of his powers”

                              †

“And why is everything so calm? I hate it! Shouldn’t we wreck havoc a bit? Jungkook is half dead and can’t fight back now anyways, I hate calmness!” Lin fumed, parading the room he’s in.

“Havoc? Why don’t you wait for Nimon to do that?” Eodum replied.

“Nimon is taking too long!” Lin barked angrily.

“Fine” Eodum smiled.

“Give me some of your daughters, I’m hungry I need to go to the city and eat as much as I want!” Lin said wickedly.

                             †

“I pray to our ancestors and their spirits, please let this moment of sorrow pass us by, save our king”  Felix prayed on his knees, and everyone watched him in amusement.

“Never knew you can pray” Joyun said.

“It’s a matter of death we’re talking about, I respect the king so much and I don’t want him to die like this” Felix replied.

“King Jungkook is the best king that has ever reigned in Goguryeo” Jisung said.

“He’s kind, nice, handsome, powerful..
And he supports justice” Minho said.

“Tell me more” Kang replied.

“But everyone is destined to die one day, why should you all be sad about it?” Gowon spoke, and Joyun placed his sword on his neck immediately.

“Talk senselessly again and your head will roll, I mean it” he said sternly, and Gowon sighed as the sword went down.

“Warriors!” Hyunjin suddenly rushed in.

“The demon wizard is killing people in the city!” He announced.

“Lin?” Kang said.

They all ran out of the palace at once.

Kang bumped into Hoseok and quickly apologized before continuing his race.

Hoseok inhaled sadly, looking at him.

“Goodbye, Kang” he mumbled and made his way to the library.

He was about to go in when he saw Namjoon and Yoongi reading in there.

He stopped and turned back in tears.

                             †

Godmother Korra was nowhere to be found in the mansion, her maids reported that she went to the heaven’s palace to meet the Dieties.

The cannibals got tired of waiting, and they got hungry.

“Should we have a taste of him before godmother arrives?” One of them suggested, gesturing at Jimin who was still tied to the tree, looking lifeless.

“That’s not acceptable, godmother will get angry” The one who seems like their leader said.

👥 But I’m hungry!

👥 I’m hungry!

👥 I want to eat!

They started arguing.

“Enough!” The leader said, and they went silent.

“You can only eat his right hand” he said, and they all started jubilating as they rushed to Jimin.

They untied him and brought him to the leader.

Jimin started crying again when the leader got a short but sharp sword that was glittering.

His right hand was placed on a stake, and his eyes widened.

“No!…. No please don’t! No… Don’t…..no!!”

The leader raised the sword on Jimin's hand, then he started bringing it down.

“No!!!!!!” Jimin screamed, and that instant, a loud thunder sounded, accompanied with a violently heavy wind which blew the cannibals away from him.

They landed in different directions, and some died on the spot.

“Don’t touch me!!!” Jimin’s voice echoed three times as he spoke, and the ropes on his legs came off on their own.

The thunder strikes continued coming, and the wind kept getting heavier, rolling up some of the cannibals again.

“Argghhhhh!!!!” Jimin screamed sonorously like a siren, facing the sky.

The clouds turned black immediately, and another thunder followed.

A circle mark appeared on his forehead, and it started shinning the seven colours of the rainbow, his eyes beamed gold.

The remaining scars on his body disappeared, and the wounds from the beatings disappeared too.

His hair became extraordinarily long, and it turned silver white completely, blowing around him.

The remaining cannibals stared at him in horror, and when one of them looked him in the eye, his one eye flew out of the socket, and the others went down on their knees immediately, bowing in front of him repeatedly.

“God, please forgive us!!”

“God forgive us!”

“God forgive us!”

They started begging in chorus.

Jimin’s lips turned deep red, and he raised his right hand to the sky.

A violent earthquake happened immediately, shaking the whole place to it’s roots.

A lot of the cannibals got swallowed by it, and the rest continued begging.

“God!!!”

By now, he has just ten minutes left to find the golden goose, but he’s not even thinking of anything right now but destruction and extermination!

Fire began burning in his right hand, and his circle shone more brightly on his forehead, reflecting the seven colours brightly.

He was about to burn the remaining cannibals when Korra appeared in front of him.

“Nimon…” He called, and Jimin grabbed her neck madly tight, throwing her away.

Korra landed far away, coughing out blood.

“Nimon!” She called again, looking at him shockingly.

“It is God Nimon!” Jimin roared, and the ground opened, swallowing Korra completely.
