65: facing himself
Jungkook raced through the forest using his powers to clear the plants out of his way. He was going in a straight line. He can't waste another second. Worry rose more and more inside of him with each passing one. Each second could be the end of his lover's heartbeats...
So many cenarios went through his head, maybe jungkook? was going to riddle him...Or maybe he was going to challenge him by luring him out here, or..... Maybe he was just going to... Break him.
He needs him dead, so...It wouldn't be surprising if he will bury everything he has along with him.
The wizard was getting closer. He could see the particles get denser and denser. There was a high concentration of magic traces ahead. That is where Jungkook must be. Or had been recently.
Lots of thoughts yet none had prepared him for the spot he arrived at. Closer than he expected a huge crater appeared. It was bigger than any he had seen before. This could fit more than five houses. Maybe even six zuzus. The damage this had created was saddening. Jungkook could feel it. He could feel death below his feet.
When did this happen.... He could have helped them...
"took you long enough to figure that out" Jungkook?'s voice was heard. It kept feeling strange to hear his own voice. But more to see himself. Standing in that crater with his mirrored purple eye. A sight that wasnt to far from Jungkoom himself.... He could be like that too, the only difference is that he chose to be different. But the line between his 'good' side and his 'bad' side was thin.... Very thin. "a moment longer and he would have given up on his own '' Jungkook? Pointed to the figure that sat on their knees next to him. His expression was a pained one and there were drops of sweat on his face, he looked.. sick?
"Taehyung!" Jungkook shouted and he slid down the crater wall hurrying to the middle where the two stood. But he didn't get close. Jungkook? Stopped him by raising his hand. A painful groan left taehyung and he bend down curling his head against his lap gasping air.
"what did you do?! What did you do to him? Tae!" Jungkook was glad that the other was alive but seeing him in pain hurt almost just as much. "did you....No... That's" Jungkook looked back at Taehyung who had looked up against with pleading eyes. Yes, Jungkook could see it now.. He is under a curse. "...Cruel.."
"jung...Kook..." Taehyung managed to say.
"talking to me, battle prince?" Jungkook? Smirked and looked at the human.
"n-never......" Taehyung snarled back with an angry face.
Jungkook? Didn't seem to be bothered. He just chuckled and turned back to Jungkook who stood there still a bit frozen.
"You have stolen the spot in this world that was meant for me" Jungkook? said. "You took a part that belonged to me, you ripped it out and took it for yourself."
"we have no control of how we are made-"
"And I've had enough, I tried to ruin your future. but you somehow managed to replace it with another one, the always so lucky Jungkook who meets the best people along his way. Leaving the filthy to me. Im am so done with you, I will kill you now. Torture isn't enough anymore. I will take that part of me back... And him too" Jungkook? said and once he finished the last sentence he made a fist with his hand. Taehyung groaned in pain again, he felt the curse worsening again. "Have you lost your tongue? Lost for words?" jungkook? said mockingly
Jungkook didn't reply. He was focusing. He couldn't let this happen. At least not to Taehyung, he isn't part of this problem he shouldn't be hurt in this. And his anger was growing, which made him call upon a forbidden magic. Something that is not something any wizard can do lightly. Right now he has to use it.... He can feel bad about it later.
"Brother, twin or whatever. Say something? Don't you care about anything anymore. Have i really broken you this ti-ah!" jungkook? Was shocked when he felt two thin cold things grab his legs. He looked down and to his surprise there were skeleton hands grabbing onto him trying to pull him over. "you!" Jungkook? Looked back up and his eyes widened when he saw a jungkook cast a spell, a big gust of wind flew his way and he got knocked back. He hit the wall of the crater with a loud thud.
Jungkook stood back straight and looked at the spot Jungkook? Flew into. Sand created a cloud that blocked the view. "Tae... Are-" Jungkook was about to go to him when a bright flash of lightning was cast his way. He fell on his knees, hands shaking from the shocks. "f-fuck fuck" shakily he did his best to stand back up feeling cold all over from the shock.
"you are done for!" Jungkook? Walked from the other side back to the middle
His hands were formed like claws, tensed up and facing the ground.
He was doing something.
Jungkook held his hand that was shaking from the electricity and looked at his other self in shock. Below him the ground started to shake. And then it split in two, a loud crack was heard when the ground seperated and a sharp needle like purple stone rose up in an attempt to pierce him.
Jungkook jumped to the side and swung his arm, breaking the stone in two. Meanwhile Jungkook? Had closed the distance and stood a few meters from him.
"You left me with the powers to cause destruction and death. So that's what you will get." Jungkook said softly and he swung his arm making another one of those stones shoot up, trying to hit Jungkook. But the other raven was fast. As if he knew where the rocks would come from.
'i'm not as strong as him... But i would rather die trying' Jungkook thought and glanced at Taehyung who had been moving. Slowly crawling towards the edge of the crater, trying to get away from the fight. Which was hard in his current condition. But he was doing it.
Jungkook will give him enough time to get out of sight.
It probably won't work.... He didn't feel confident in his own powers. He lacked so much compared to the clone.
And seeing Jungkook? Walk over so slowly and controlled towards him. He didn't seem to be struggling. But he himself... He was having a hard time dodging the attacks and raising his power for an attack.
Which was now. The clone Moved his hand for another swing. That's when Jungkook shot his shot. He raised his hands up and created a fireball that grew and grew.
A power that he can control but its so quick to lose that same control and have it get out of hand. He can create even worse damage with this, but it seemed to be the only spell he knew that would work on him. An element that could actually kill him.
"shit" Jungkook? Jumped back when the fire ball came his way. He managed to use the wind to block it but didn't expect another to hit. He wasn't in time and got hit again. He felt himself lacking. He was not going to get beat here, what was going on. Why were his powers less than normal??
In a panic to search for something to turn the advantage against his eyes fell on Taehyung who was nearing the edge of the crater.
But he wasn't the only one that noticed. Jungkook did too. "NO!" He shouted and created a fire burst from the ground to block the clone's path.
Sadly for him Jungkook? Did not need to touch the human to hurt him. He smirked at Jungkook and squeezed his hand into a fist that pointed towards the human. Right as he did so a painful scream left Taehyung's lips and he fell back down his body shaking.
That was it. Something inside Jungkook changed. His brain started to get clouded by a heavy fog and his pupils got smaller. His eye and hands started to glow purple. The wizard swung his hand backwards and a huge fire erupted from the ground. Sweat formed on his forehead from the amount of power he was charging up. More and more flames started to grow, the fire got thicker and changed color. From red to yellow and from yellow to hot blue.... And then purple.
The clone's eyes widened and he casted up a wall of stone to defend himself.
The sky grew dark and Jungkook's purple eye was set onto his target. And one target only, a dark request needed to be fulfilled one last time.
"....Die...." is all that left his lips when he used both hands with a jump to swing the flames forward. Purple swirls of fire flew over his head towards the wall of rocks. Easily slamming through, shattering the rocks and piercing forward to their target.
A short surprised shout was heard and an immense explosion of fire hit the ground with a bright purple flash of light. Spreading around before moving up and vanishing.
Jungkook felt his mind clear up and he held a hand onto his forehead. "ugh.... " he felt a big headache already. But he still had seen it happen. This time was different. He felt his body move. He saw it all, he was conscious. His eyes fell onto the clone that laid on the ground. Clothes almost fully burned into a coal black color. His skin red and burned.
The strength got back into his body. The fight isn't over. He can not relax, if he wants to end it it has to be now. If he doesn't do it now then jungkook? Will only escape and return a second time.
"You are not worthy of our spot in this world." Jungkook said while walking over to the clone and looked down on him.
"Killing me will ruin you. You are a loser either way" Jungkook? Chuckled and coughed.
"I will take on that challenge. For changes to be made you will need to die" Jungkook stepped with one foot on the clone's chest and raised his hand. Out of flames a crimson spear shaped spike formed. "Let your soul combine with mine and become one. There can be only one me" and with that he pierced the crimson spear down through Jungkook?'s chest. A fleshy sound was heard and the evil raven coughed up a thick bulb of flood.
His body seemed to struggle foe a moment before it fell limp.
A glowing purple fog came from his body and disappeared into Jungkook. He felt as if another being had snuck inside of him. But it actually... Didn't feel as bad as he thought it would.
Trying not to waste this moment he left the body on the ground and hurried to Taehyung who laid weakly on the ground. His chest rising very slowly.
"Tae, Taehyung baby. Are you okay- oh no. No no, it's still there?!" Jungkook said that the curse was still left. He thought if he killed Jungkook? That everything will be released. But that wasn't the case. "uhm, think think. You know this Jungkook '' he felt the headache return which didn't help with thinking. But he thinks he got something. He untied the other and gently pushed Taehyung onto his back. Then he placed both his hands on his chest and closed his eyes.
He could feel the curse flowing into his hands.
It didn't take long for Jungkook to take away the curse and Taehyung felt relief all over. His frown disappeared and he let out a deep sigh.
"Jungkook...." he didn't get to say another word when he passed out from exhaustion. His body was through it, after having to endure so much and then being relieved was such a switch, it had to recover.
"Taehyung! Oh...You're okay..." the wizard got what happened and stood up. Looking at Jungkook?'s body lying there on the ground, a crimson spear stuck from his chest.
He was an evil person, it was better like this. But that doesn't mean that Jungkook will disrespect the death and let him rot here. He had to bury him. After making sure Taehyung was comfortable by taking off his jacket and using it as a pillow for the human he walked back to the body. In a swift motion he pulled out the spear and let it disappear. Then he slowly moved an open hand over the body and the ground below it started to sink. Lowering the body into the stone and sand.
"may you have found a release with your death" Jungkook spoke and closed the hole the body had sunken into. With shards of the broken purple gems he made a cross over the fresh sand that held the body.
Hopefully this will be the last set back they will have, and life will turn normal.
Jungkook didn't think he would win. He didn't think that Taehyung would still be alive. Yet here they were, both of them alive.
Future was positive. The world let them live, so he will make the best of it.
