A BEAST HAS AWAKEN; A NEW HOPE

[ There's no where for me to go. How long has it been? Maybe 3 or 4 hundred years ago? I don't know. How much longer do we need to fight? I'm tired. I miss them. They won't even look at me anymore. They must hated me so much. I'm the reason why we became like this. I'm sorry everyone.. I'm sorry Jimin.. How much longer do I need to be drowning? When can I breath? I'm dying but unable to die. I find no light. I'm trapped in that dark deep ocean. No one will save me. It's okay. I know that I deserve it but for how long? --- ]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, The princess and her 4 knights, continuing their journey then they stopped at a town to find some supplies.

"I'm going to find some food and Jimin will come with me. "

Jin volunteering himself while Jimin was picked not by his own will. At first he declined to follow Jin because he wants to stay with the princess but Jin convinced him as he said "there's some job only you can handle" then Jimin knows that there's something they will do other than finding some food supplies. Understanding that, Jimin agrees then they walked away.

" I'm going to find some herbs. It's important to bring medicine always."

Namjoon take his own role and then walk away leaving Jungkook with the princess.

"So...what will we do now?"

Jungkook asked as he don't know what to do because he's not used to handle a girl alone.. Moreover someone like the princess. Reckless but beautiful.

"We will go find some weapons."

Said the princess bluntly.

"Right, weapons. yeah. Wait..WHAT?! WHY?! WHO?! I already have mine. I don't plan to find a new one..?! "

Jungkook was shocked by hearing the princess's request. Why would a girl wants to settle with a place like that??

" It's not for you.. it's for me. I need it. I think I forgot to bring mine at the first place as I start traveling. "

Explain the princess.

" What?? How can you forget that life - saving tools from the first place? You truly unexplainable..."

Jungkook doesn't believe his own ear that someone like that truly exist.

" Things just happened okay.. Faster. We don't want to waste our time here.."

Re leads the way.

"Seriously.. I can't believe this girl. I wonder what's in her head. She's so absent minded.."

Jungkook said that under his breath and just smile unconditionally as he face-palming himself. Then he follow up with the princess.

" So, My Lady, what kind of weapons do you intend to pick?"

Jungkook ask her curiously.

" A Sword. "

Short and content. She doesn't hesitate.

" A sword, huh? That suits you because it's just like you. Delicate but dangerous."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, why you take me with you? I know you plan to do something"

Asked Jimin unsatisfied.

" What do you mean? I just don't want to be alone. If with Namjoon, he will always told me to not do stupid things. If I pick Jungkook, you know he will constantly hit me."

Jin said it with his pouting face.

" YAHH!! WHY YOU----!!!"

Jimin feel so pissed.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAH just kidding. You really can't be separated from the princess huh?"

Jin constantly teasing Jimin.

" NO. I WASN'T.."

Jimin is whelmed by shyness.

" Right, right. Let's go straight to the point. Finding the foods is just for the coverage. Our main purpose is to find some information."

Jin explaining the situation.

" Information about what??"

Jimin is quit surprised because Jin is more serious about something other than foods. It's a very rare spectacles.

" About that lonely wanderer. His last coordinate is near here. This town is the only town in this deserted place. He must be coming here often. Let's give it a try."

Jin calmly explain to Jimin with his gentle voice and warm smile.

"That lonely wanderer? Him? We finally will be able to meet him? Seriously? You're not lying, right??!"

Jimin is whelmed by excitement. He never thought his longing wish could finally happen. His heart was moved. He shed tears of happiness.

" I will be able to meet him. We will unite again, right Hyung??!"

Still couldn't believe his own ear.

" Yeah. Let's move now. We will find him together."

Jin held Jimin's hand and they start making their move.

" Wait for us.." Jimin's hope start to bloom again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Woah, princess. You really have a good eyes."

Jungkook praising Re because of her good sight for choosing a fine sword.

" I'm used with sword if you want to know."

Re said that as she testing her weapons. She swing it around without looking her surrounding.

" Woah, woah princess. This is what you mean by ' used to it ' ? You will not only hurts other. You will hurt yourself. Please be careful."

Jungkook reminding Re to stay alert about her surrounding.

" Ah. Sorry!! I will be more careful next time. But I really used to using sword. I'm not lying.."

Re said with her pouting face as she thought Jungkook doesn't believe her.

" Yeah. I know My Lady is a strong woman. But what if something happens because of your clumsy act? "

Jungkook crossing his hands and make his face nearer to Re's face.

" It's okay.. I have you. You can always remind me. Hehehe. "

Jungkook was flustered by Re's word. But in his face, there's slip a very sad expression.

" Of course I will remind you as long as we're together. But it's not like I will forever be by your side. You need to take care of yourself too."

Jungkook gently pat Re's head and give off his bunny smile.

" Why? You don't want to stay with me? Where will you go??"

Re's voice kinda shrinking a bit.

" I'm not going anywhere. "

As they were having their own moment.. suddenly there's chaos not far from their place.

" WHAT IS THAT?!"

Both of them quickly run to that place to check what happened.

" NAMJOON!!!"

Re shouts from afar as she sees Namjoon was abducted by a group of officials.

" STOP!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!"

She run to the center of the chaos to defend Namjoon. She spread her hand as the sign to stop.

" STEP AWAY YOU BRAT! WE HAVE BUSINESS WITH HIM!!"

One of the officials push Re until she stumble on the ground.

" PRINCESS!!!!"

Jungkook just shout it out without thinking first. He smashed some officials that blocking his way. He run towards Re and Namjoon. He blew some of them just by one punch.

" HE'S A BEAST!! KILL THEM!! THEY MUST BE HIS COMRADE! WE MUST KILL EVERYONE WHO TRIES TO TAKE DOWN THE POWER OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS!!!"

Said one of the officials.

" He said that girl is the princess right. That's the more reason to kill them!!"

Said another one of them.

" YOU WANT TO KILL YOUR PRINCESS?!! WHAT HAVE SHE DONE TO DESERVE THAT?!!"

Jungkook is so angry . There's fire in his eyes.

" WHAT'S THE POINT FROM SPARING HER LIFE? HER KINGDOM HAS FALL!! WE HAIL THE NEW KING! WE WILL KILL ANYONE WHO TRIES TO BLOCK THE PATH!!

Said the leader vigorously.

" YOU HAVE TOUCH THEM! NOW YOU ARE DEAD!! HOPE THE DEITYS WILL FORGIVE ALL OF YOU, PATHETIC HUMANS!!"

Jungkook swing another blow. They were scattered around.

Jimin and Jin noticed a familiar wind. There's no other than Jungkook's blew. Realizing that, they know something is happening. They quickly find them using the direction of the wind.

"JUNGKOOK!! NAMJOON!! PRINCESS!!"

Both of them spit out the same words. They were in a quit shocked seeing Jungkook acting so violently, it's as if he cannot control it. It's been a long time since they've seen Jungkook like this. Last time was during his battle with the deitys. What's more shocking them is seeing Namjoon full of bruises and blood and the princess who already on the ground helplessly. It brings anguish in their hearts moreover Jimin.

" WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?!!"

Jimin stood beside Jungkook while Jin go straight to Namjoon and Re. Namjoon is seriously injured. Jin knows why Joon doesn't fight back because he despise violence.

" Uh? what just happened?"

That question is lingering in her head as she sees Jimin and Jungkook fighting. She come to her sense. Then she heard,

" THIS KINGDOM CANNOT BE SAVED! THE STRONG ONE WILL WIN AND THE WEAKEST WILL STAY BELOW! THEY ARE NOT WORTHY! WHY NEED TO FIGHT FOR THEM?! THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BRINGS MISFORTUNE! JUST LET THEM ROT TO DEATH! A NEW KINGDOM WILL RISE AND THOSE WHO PREVENT US FROM GLORY SHOULD BE OFF DEAD! NEITHER THE KING NOR THE PRINCESS IS WORTHY! THEY SHOULD JUST ROT IN SILENCE!"

It is said by one of the officials. Those words somehow awakens something in Re. Something she never feels before. She slowly gets up as she says,

" Better off to death, huh? Unworthy? You think you strong enough, huh?!"

The princess stood up and picking up her sword. With her hair tied up, her head held high and her torn up dress. She looks more like a warrior than a princess. She looks more courageous than she did back then. She wielding her sword and fight them. Her moves are so grace and delicate. It's like she was dancing in the middle of the blood - shed battle. Fighting by her side, Jimin and Jungkook who also shocked by her changes but somehow they are proud of her. Jin slowly back up from there with Namjoon on his back. He needs to be treated. They fight with their whole heart. One, to protect her right and nation. One, to protect his loved ones. The other one to protect everyone's hope and dream. Finally, the followers of the Seven Deadly Sins has fall as they been defeated by 3 beast warrior. That's what they're called. They panting so hard then they meet up with Jin and Namjoon. They were relieved to see Namjoon has gotten better and has come back to his sense. They were all resting under the big, shady tree. It's been such a long day.

" Princess, I never knew you can fight. I was kinda amazed and surprised at the same time."

Jimin start the conversation.

" I know how to do many things you know. I'm more than capable."

She said proudly.

" I can now see what you mean by you used to wielding sword."

Jungkook reply as he smirking.

" There's many things you don't know about me. Hahaha"

Re continue.

" I do know you can fight. I've heard about you."

Namjoon interfere.

"Ehhh how? You don't even share with us?!"

Jin started yelling.

" You guys are so dumb so I need to make you see it with your own eyes. She is actually the best warrior between the heirs of the three big kingdom. Nysa, Ourmut and Dameyra, she's the best between them all."

Namjoon proudly share her story with his brothers.

" WOAHH SERIOUSLY?!! you never failed to amaze me."

Jimin praising Re and he gives his wide happy smile.

As they were having a happy conversation. there's man standing not far from them, Shedding his tears and say,

" Jimin.. smiling.. 4 of them are there. "

That man watching them laugh so happily. He shed some more tears. Not sure if it's the tears of happiness by watching them happy or the tears of that's the only thing he can be; a bystander.. He enjoyed the view so much so he stood there quit a while. Jungkook apparently noticed there's something or someone's watching them. His eyes wandered around the area. Then, he noticed a man not far from their site, standing alone behind the tree. After analyzing that man's figure, he knows he's familiar with that figure. He then suddenly shout,

" HEYY, WAITT!!"

That man realized that Jungkook has noticed him. Quickly vacate from that area. Jungkook try to catch up with him but he couldn't. He come back to their resting place with a disappoint expression. While the others just look at him confusedly.

" What are you chasing for?"

Jimin asked him.

" It's him. I knew it's him. I couldn't be mistaken. He's here!"

Jungkook said it so fast only Jin can catch up as he used to speak fast.

" Jungkook, calmly and tell us, you mean who?"

Jin calmly ask Jungkook.

" He's here. The one we've been longing to see. He's here."

Jungkook explained himself once more. This time with expression full of hope.

" He..he seriously here? like , seriously serious?!"

Jimin was stoned for a while.

" Yeah, he's here. Let's find him."

Jungkook reach for Jimin's hand.

Even Re, doesn't know what's happening, she just follow them because she knew that someone must be very important to them.

" Let's go, we don't have any time to waste."

Re proposed her suggestion.

"Yeah, let's go."

All of them agrees with her and start their steps with their own hope.

" Please don't run away anymore"

Namjoon's inner voice.

" We're longing for you."

Jin's inner voice.

" We need you. I need you."

Jungkook's inner voice.

" I've been waited for you. Please wait for me too."

Jimin's inner voice.

" Please ease everything."

Re's inner voice.

This time, their journey set off with a new hope.
