Blood of Daagi (Vkook)

ρ

This chapter is being updated again because it's been glitching a lot.

TP POV:

Taehyung's head was buzzing with all the information that was so abruptly thrust upon him. His mother had a lot to say and the demigod wasn't even sure he'd registered most of it.

First of all, he was not only a demigod but also part Omega wolf.... obviously. Which made Selene, the moon goddess, his godmother. Not to mention the plethora of gods and goddesses who conspired and actively involved themselves into just keeping him alive till now.

One thing was for sure, Taehyung had a personal beef with this "Zeus" guy. Not only because the god was the sole reason he had to play hide and seek with his own identity all his life, but also because he caused the people he cherished some good deal of pain. Yes, that includes a certain ravishingly handsome ravenette as well.

"You okay little omega?" The sweet and concerned voice of Hades tickled his ears. He looked up from his daze to meet those pitch black orbs that sucked you in like the abyss.

"I'm fine. Just processing everything. Don't worry Jeongguk" he assured with a weak smile. The concern wafting off of the god did not fade away, but it did lighten his mood a bit.

He felt the almost feathery touch of his mother's hand on his shoulder. Wow, mother's hand, mother. He really wanted to smile like a fool. Because finally. Finally. Taehyung had a mother. "Why don't you rest a little bit Tae tae." She suggested smiling softly. The silver-head looked at Hades for some reason and when the latter gave him a small nod of encouragement the former Omega prince walked off, already assured that his mother would brief the master of the underworld of their entire conversation.

Taehyung wandered around the dark hallways for some time. And even though he was most definitely lost in the void that was Jeongguk's mansion, he didn't feel anxious. He walked aimlessly without a thought in mind, or maybe too many. He realized that he'd never truly recognized any of the routes around this gigantic villa. He always wandered aimlessly until the hallways just magically led him to where he needed to be. It was odd.

Thus it was again not a surprise for the prince to be led to a chamber he had no idea existed. The sound of slashing swords filling his ears. The sound ever so familiar and oddly relaxing.

His azure eyes sparkled at the sight of steel swords being bashed against eachother. Sparks flying, metal clanking, armors glistening in the dim light.

This was the first time Taehyung saw actual netherworld beings aside from Jeongguk in the palace. They all looked like soldiers. Cheering on as the two in the center arena fought a deathly dance.

This was a sight Taehyung was all too familiar with. Military duels. Oh, the nostalgia almost brought him to tears.

He just stood by the entrance of the battle arena and watched with fascination as the duel went on. Analyzing every move the soldiers made. How they jabbed, what flaws they showed, how they held their swords, how they swung their swords. Everything.

He noticed how the female soldier was more efficient with her sword play than the male. She had full control of her body and extreme precision on her weapon. Clearly, she was the experienced one between the two.

When the fight ended in the lady's obvious victory, Taehyung couldn't help but cheer along with the rest of the spectators. But what he hadn't expected was that he would receive all of the attention after the duel was over.

One of the soldiers noticed him and soon all of their eyes were on the petit Omega. However, Taehyung was never the type to cower in front people, especially not soldiers. So the silver-head held his head high and stared right back at them.

The female from the duel pulled out her helmet and Taehyung was left to look at her gorgeous face. The lady's deadly eyes remained on him as she got off the duel arena.

"And who might you be?" She asked as she advanced forward with her unwavering gaze. "My name is Kim Taehyung. I am the prince of Daagi and Hades's friend" the blue eyed omega spoke, although referring to Hades as a friend felt somewhat unnatural.

He watched how the woman's eyes enlarged slightly before returning normal as the shock registered. "So you are the lord's guest. Welcome, Prince of Daagi. I must say, I have never seen a living human before." She replied with a slight bow.

"Well... I am not exactly human" he said a little awkward. A round of understanding "o's" filled the arena.

"I am Rhadamanthus. It is a mouthful, I know. You can call me Jennie. I am one of the judges of death in netherworld. But Hades calls me the death general." Jennie introduced herself. Taehyung stared at her mouth wide. Because just how badass do you have to be, to be called not only a judge of death but also the general of hell's army?

"Wow. Okay" the silver-head nodded to himself dumbfounded. "So, Taehyung-" Jennie called out. "Yes?" The Omega prince looking at her suspiciously as a wicked grin spread across her lips slowly.

"- Do you know how to wield a sword?"

Jeongguk sat up straighter, eyes glazing over. Demeter looked at her brother questioningly. They had just finished talking about Taehyung and started having a lazy chat when Jeongguk abruptly stopped talking.

"What's wrong Jeonggukie?" She asked mildly worried but was relieved when Jeongguk gave her a small mischievous grin. "Hani noona, there's something interesting going on in the west training grounds. Want to go see?" Hades asked with this childlike wonder in his eyes, and who was Demeter to say no to that.

And so the two gods made their way to the battle arena with Jeongguk leading the way. And when they reached, every soldier turned to deeply bow to their lord. However, with the gesture of one hand Hades stopped them. He did not want to interrupt the intense duel that was taking place.

Jeongguk and Hani watched with utter fascination as Taehyung and Jennie swung swords in sonic speed.

Taehyung's azure eyes blazed blue and a crazed grin attached itself onto his lips. His sword clashed violently against Jennie's. Relentlessly slashing into her defense the Daagan prince fought like he was in real battle.

Jennie had only ever once had to keep up with someone's pace with such fervour. And that was when she fought against Poseidon. One of the greatest warrior gods of all existence.

Hani and Jeongguk were left to watch awestruck as Taehyung showed everyone present in the arena exactly why he was the general of the Daagian army.

The two generals fought toe to toe. Every swing causing a tornado as the blades sliced through the wind. All eyes watching with bated  breath, anticipating who would come out victorious.

But the battle came to no conclusion because both Taehyung and Jennie drew away their swords with smiles on their faces. They talked about something and shared a laugh as they got off the battle arena. The soldiers crowded around them cheering and commenting on the fantastic duel.

Jeongguk stared at the Omega prince almost going into a trance. The way he laughed with his head tilted back, how his smile brightened up his entire face, how truly comfortable he looked in this environment, everything about the scene made Hades's heart beat a little faster.

"He looks absolutely stunning when he's in his own element, doesn't he?" He heard Hani whisper from beside him. And involuntary smile spread across his lips and before he could stop himself Jeongguk replied with a "yes". Only after he said it did he realize what that reply might have meant.

Jeongguk slowly turned towards Demeter like a deer caught in headlights, but all he saw was a knowing look and a mischievous smirk.

Oh this was going to be bad.
