"Let me explain to you, Jay Eun," He started, "There is a prophecy. It states that the Queen will fall." He looked into my eyes intensely, "You have fallen, literally. You are the Queen. The Queen of the Nine Circles." Woah. I knew my literature, especially my historic literature. The nine circles of Dante's Inferno, each representing one sin group.

"We each represent one circle, originally, that is. If you haven't noticed, there are only 7 of us and 9 circles." Jin continued. I nodded my head at the statement. "Two of Guardians of the Circles, as we are called, lost their power. The Guardian of the Circle Heresy gave away his sword of immortality away to a god that isn't the Divine God. He was conned. The Guardian of the Circle Fraud was the one who took Heresy's sword. The Divine God banished him by taking his sword. I'll explain the sword later.

"The first Circle, as you know, is the Circle Limbo. Limbo is a place for people who do not believe in the Divine God. Li-" Jin stopped because I was raising my hand quietly, not wanting to interrupt him.

"Why do you say the Divine God? You know you can just say God right?" I asked him.

"Ah, my naïve child. There are multiple gods. To know that we are talking about the God with the capital G, we call him the Divine God." Jin answered me

"Wait, there are multiple gods?" I was confused. All this talk about the one Divine God made me think that we were in a world of the Christian religion.

"You know the Greek, Roman, etcetera gods?" He asked me.

"Yes. But isn't there only one god-the Divine God- in the Christian religion?" I was definitely confused.

"Well, the gods in this world are the gods of all the religions. Even the people who believe in no god. When they die, they enter into the realm that they believe in. If you are atheist and believe in rebirth or an empty, dark nothingness, it'll happen. Except for Limbo and Heresy. A select few get chosen into that realm, particularly ones of popular beliefs, even though they say that Christianity, and its various branches, is the largest religion." Jin explained to me. I nodded my head.

"Let me continue. Where were we? Right, Limbo is ruled by Jungkook, the youngest of us, next is Lust. That's Namjoon. Lust isn't the Lust you thought was Lust. Lust is an intense want for something, not just... well, you know. Next is Gluttony, which is yours truly," Jin stopped because of the smirk on my face. "But I'm not fat, okay? Do I look fat? Anyways, Gluttony does not necessarily mean liking food. It means one likes to indulge oneself, okay. I am regretting my choice of explaining things to you.

"After Gluttony, Greed is Jimin. Again Greed is not necessarily a want and keeps for money. Greed can be for anything, in fact. Then comes Anger, which is Yoongi. He tries to suppress his anger. But he can be very scary sometimes. Then comes Heresy. Jungkook is filling in for Heresy since Limbo is somewhat like it. Hoseok is Violence. They go hand in hand. Anger and Violence, that is. Fraud is filled in by Taehyung, who is the Guardian of the Circle of Treachery, which is the last Circle of the not so hot Inferno.

"Now, I can explain your role in all this. You ever hear the quote from Paradise Lost by John Milton?" Jin asked me, "The one about ruling."

"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." I recited. I loved historical books.

"Exactly. You rule Hell." He said simply. I stared at him.

"I ... rule... Hell?" Puzzlement was on my face.

"Yup! You are my Queen," Jin said happily, "And one of us will be your King, but more on that later. We need to talk about your sword! The Sword of Mortality for you, the Sword of Immortality for us. It represents your life. If you give it away, it is like giving your life away. You can give your sword away, but beware, because the holder of the sword can do anything with it. If they destroy it, they destroy your mortal life. Of course, all holders of their own Sword of Mortality will have a Sword of Immortality waiting for them when they die.

"You'll be immortal once you die! Like me, like us! The thing is, if you don't find your sword before you die, you lose your position. So we need to find it." Jin stopped. He looked into my eyes, his brown eyes soft but fierce.

"What is it Jin?" I asked him.

"Well, there is a prophecy about you, well more like the fallen Queen. Literally. So basically it says that the Queen, you, will fall fighting Life. Life commanded the harpies that tried to kill you. He stole it from you. And basically we save you, blah blah blah, you fall in love with one of us, blah blah blah, the two of you fight together against Life. Takes the stroke of Mortality and Immortality together to kill it, blah blah blah, you break your sword of mortality. That pretty much sums it up," Jin said quickly. "It's best for you to see for yourself."

The prophecy... the boy... my death... entering my realm. I can't. This is all a dream. But they do seem familiar. Strangely so. Like I've seen them in another lifetime...
