15: Aftermath

As Lions - Aftermath

Taehyung's POV

They weren't wrong when they said that Somnus would visit but it wasn't the way you would think but he only visited Jungkook and I.

"You would think that the Sun gods would manifest in the light instead of darkness and not come from the underworld but that's exactly where they reside. The same goes for the Moon goddesses. This is not why I'm visiting the both of you instead of all seven of you. I am here to discuss Jungkook's lineage. Taehyung, you aren't the only one that has powers. You are however a god whereas your mate isn't he just has some blood coursing through him. Jungkook, you may not be the son of the gods but you are a descendant of one on your fathers side; the god of galaxies, Araeson. He is my brother along with Thanatos who is the god of death. Our parents are Nyx the goddess of night and Erebus the god of darkness. The seven Sun gods and the seven moon goddesses are mates. The rest of us don't hat that privilege which is why many gods and goddesses don't stay loyal to their partners. Since we don't have a mate some of us either choose to stay alone for reasons or we are looking but haven't found the right someone yet. Araeson is one of those that is looking but hasn't found the right one yet he. At first he thought he had as to why you are apart of his blood line Jungkook. Why he isn't the one telling you this is because the moon goddesses forbid him from meeting you and you don't want to be on their hate list. I don't know what he did for them to do that, you'd have to ask yourself but I'm pretty sure it was all Cynthia who ordered it. She has never liked him and forced her sisters to go against him. Eclipsa is the main one who showed resistance because the two were really close like brother and sister. She was extremely happy that the both of you were mates so was Araeson. Jungkook while Taehyung is training with his parents, aunts, and uncles you will be with me learning your powers as well. You won't have as many as Taehyung since you don't have as much god blood in you as he does. Why me? Well that's because Araeson asked me to and Thanatos can't be near you since he doesn't have the time according to him. The man never takes time off. He seriously needs a break once in a while. Also why Tae's parents, aunts, and uncles didn't tell you this themselves well that's because they couldn't. Cynthia has last say unless Atum has a say in it and he rarely ever gets involved with anything anymore. Anyways that's why I come and visited you both. I've stayed longer than I should have and you both really need your sleep. I'll see you when Taehyung is with his parents, aunts, and uncles." Somnus says fading away leaving Taehyung and I in darkness before the both of us fall into darkness.

What seems like minutes in the dream realm is actually seconds in reality. What seems like hours is minutes.

Hours pass by. I don't know the actual time but when I "wake up" Somnus is in front of me.

I get up from the the ground before looking around. We are in a blue shimmering field that seems to glow fluorescently.

"Wow." I say as I continue to look around before looking up to see a sparkling vast void of space above me.

"This is Araeson's dimension. He actually made it. He made it the way he wanted it. He calls it Paravern. He only allows a select few people to come here. Those select few are Thanatos, you, Taehyung, and me. Since Taehyung is your mate you're allowed to bring him here. I had a talk with Araeson about it so you won't get in trouble with him for bringing Taehyung here. I had thought he wasn't going to let you also this is hidden away from the other gods and goddesses so they don't know where we are. Now let's get on with your training. First off there are three types of warriors Sun, Moon, and Galaxy. Taehyung is both Sun and Moon. Since you are directly related to Araeson you have have Galaxy Warrior in your blood. Galaxy warriors are a much more elite group. We only surface when we are absolutely needed. Alright, before we get to your Galaxy Warrior training we need to get all you powers over with. You more or less have three powers that will either compliment Taehyung's but also probably not. To call forth your powers close your eyes and think of it as a ball of energy in your chest. Let it expand to the point it's almost recovering your entire body. Before it completely consumes you divide it up into three equal parts. Alright once they are in three equal part grab one and push the other two to the sides. Once that's done take the one you have in your hand then push it into your hand. When it's completely in your hand tell what energy you feel from it."

"It burns. It burns so much but the energy is warm and life giving but also deadly."

"That is the power of giving and taking life away. Taehyung's father is the god of eternal death. Thanatos is the god of death which are two different things. Thanatos' death is of the body where as Sephtis is death of the soul. If your soul dies there is nothing left of you. You may still have a physical body but without your soul you nothing but a shell and is able to be manipulated by bad entities also known as demons. Since we're in the Iridescent Fields of Paravern we might as well practice that power here. I want you focus all of your energy into your hands once you do that I want you to kill patch of grass in front of you. If you feel it trying to take over that means your focus is wafting. To regain control clear your mind. Think of something or should I say someone you really want to go back to. I know you don't want to be here but it needs to be done it's the only way you can master your powers and learn the ways of a Galaxy Warrior."

Meanwhile...

Taehyung's POV

"Taehyung, you are in the moon realm or as we call it Lumanesus. Once you are done here you will go to the sun realm where your father and uncles are; Pyroligh. Here you will learn how to control and use your moon powers as well as train in the ways of a Moon warrior. The same goes for when you go to Pyroligh. There you will learn to control and use your sun powers along with learning the ways of a Sun Warrior. There a three types of warriors; Sun, Moon, and Galaxy. Me, my sisters, your father, your uncles, and the other gods and goddesses except for a select few people aren't allowed to go to Paravern which is where Jungkook is with Somnus. Since Jungkook is allowed there I'm guessing you are as well. We know that it exists but don't know where it is and Atum won't let us know where it is since all of this is Cynthias fault and had to go and insult Araeson. The man didn't do a damn thing to her." My mom says getting mad.

"He insulted her first." Hilal says.

"No, she insulted him about his powers before he insulting her which made her pissed since not many people have the gaul to do that. It pissed her off even more which in the end making her give him a his punishment that he has till this day. He's not allowed to come in contact with any descendants of his until she says his punishment is up." Cymbeline says.

"No need to get riled up over something we couldn't have stopped. All we have to do now is wait until she lifts his punishment. Now let's get on with Taehyung's training it's not like it going to happen it's self." Neoma says making the rest of them nod their head in agreement.

"We aren't sure how many moon powers. Once you figure out how many powers you have you'll have the same amount in sun powers." My mom says making me nod in understanding.

"Ok close your eyes and thing of your power as a white ball in the middle of your chest. Make it into a line and cut it into however many equal parts you can."

"Grab one and push the others to the sides making sure none merge." Esmeray says before I do as she says.

"Tell us what the energy you get off of the ball you have in your hand."

"I only got three balls and this one feels light. It is hard to explain what this is. It feels like the weather is changing from a hot humid sunny day to a windy cloud covered sky."

"That my son is the power of weather manipulation. Like many people know the moon is the reason or the earth's weather because of the pull it has on the Earth."

"We're not on the moon as you can see but we are in a dimension where the weather is a whole lot harder to manipulate than the weather on Earth. Put your hands out in front of you then pull them towards you while thinking of a cloudy sky."

"Good, now think about raining, raining at a light pace before stopping shortly after. While lifting your hands and slowly bringing them down at the pace you want."

"Good now let's make a Thunder storm. You'll need to make bigger clouds which take a lot more energy. You'll have to figure out how to reserve energy for certain powers."

One and years go by in this realm and I have learned and mastered all of my powers along with my Moon Warrior abilities. In a little bit I will be going to Pyroligh. My Moon powers are Weather Alteration, Healing, and Light blocking or if you want to call it taking away the light.

Since my mom figured out one of my Sun powers she taught me how to control and use that one in correlation to my light removing so I can give and take away light.

"Taehyung, your father is here to take you to Pyroligh." My mother says making me nod.

I miss Kookie. I wish I could see him.

I walk over to my father who see the sad look on my face.

"Don't be sad you'll get to see and be with Jungkook soon. I heard from Somnus that Jungkook is almost down with his Galaxy Warrior training and you don't have to do much on Sun Warrior training since it's pretty much like Moon Warrior training. All you have to do is find out your last two powers since your mother helped you with learning the power you get from your uncle Levant. Your other two will most likely have something to do with eternal death. Eternal death and regular death are two different things. Regular death is when the body dies and your spirit still lives. Eternal death is when your spirit dies and you are never reborn." He says making me nod before he flashes us to another realm which I am guessing is Pyroligh. It is sunny yet dark and also hot. Where as Lumanesus was lit up with moonlight making it bright and it was cool but not to cold.

I bed over as my head starts to feel light.

"I don't think I will ever get used to that especially when it's going to make me nauseous." I say before shaking my head slightly as the nauseous eases away.

"You know how to focus your energy and split them into equal parts so go ahead and do that."

"Done." I say doing so.

"Alright push one aside and grab the other. If the power is telling you to do something you the opposite. If it's telling you fo push you pull."

The power tells me fo push up so I push down which makes a crack in the ground. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and things like that has nothing to do with the weather.

My father and uncles quickly help me master that one power in a week. It would have been a shorter time period if the power didn't take control of me more than once.

"If you master your last power this week you'll be able the leave earlier than usual after the Sun Warrior ritual. You go through the same movements as the Moon Warrior ritual."

The next day I practice my last power on a plant as I am told. I do the opposite movements like in told and watches as the plant turns pale but is still alive.

I look in horror at it before turning my attention to my father.

"Please tell me you don't use this on people who don't deserve it. Please." I plead with him as tears feel my eyes.

"Yes my son, I only use it on the ones you truly deserve it." He says comfortingly.

The rest of the week I master my last power and have my Sun Warrior Ceremony.

"So you Kim Taehyung uphold the ways of a Sun Warrior?"

"I do."

"Will you abide the code of a Sun Warrior?"

"I do."

"I hereby name you a Sun Warrior."

"You can go see your mate now. You are free to go. He's waiting on you."

Jungkook's POV

I woke up an hour ago to see Taehyung still asleep which means he's still training.

I get out of bed and look under it to see everything I had mastered in Galaxy Warrior training which is every weapon Somnus presented to me like the battle axe, throwing knives, daggers, the sword, sickle, crossbow, bow and arrow, javelin, throwing, and many more.

I get everything out from under the bed and moves them to corner of the room before going to the bathroom. When I get done and washes my hands I head back into the bedroom to see tears slide down the side of Taehyung's face before they stop.

Not long later Taehyung starts to wake up.

Once his eyes are open and he figures out he's no longer in the dream world he sits up before tackling me in a hug where I sit on the bed next to him nearly making us fall off the bed.

"I missed you." He mumbles in my neck as I wrap my arms around him.

"I know baby tiger. I missed you too. Even though we didn't miss much time here it still felt like forever. You have stuff under the bed I'm guessing?" I ask him which makes him confused.

"You are a Sun and Moon Warrior right?" I ask making him nod slowly.

"Did you master in any weapons?" I ask making him once again nod his head yes.

"They apparently didn't explain that the weapons you master are going to show up under the bed."

"What are your powers Kookie?"

"I can give and take life. Teleport, and manipulate the mind. Don't feel bad about telling me your powers I already know you have more than me because you are a god after all. You having more powers than me doesn't make love you any less." I say making him cuddle into me more.

"Tell me when you want baby I'm not going to pressure you to do so."
