The arrow flies through the air, a stronger force behind it as it approaches the dragon. Ally's only hope that it hits the exact spot to kill the beast. Anxiety fills the air, hoping it hits before the flames are let loose.
She lets out a shaky breath, time seeming to slow as the arrow flies through the air. At the last moment, just before the flames hit, the arrow hits its target. She forms a force field once more, to protect everyone from the green flames. Her body is shaking from exhaustion, barely able to form it. An arm wraps around her waist to keep her standing. She doesn't have to look back to know who it is. The comfort from it is enough to help her continue holding up.
The dragon starts to fall from the air, having been hit. "Move everyone!" She yells, telling the knights to get out of the way. Everyone scatters, making sure not to be hit by the beast that is falling. A sigh of relief escapes her, her body leaning against the person behind her. She force field disappears, leaving her to let her arms down.
"Any sign of Keres?" Jinki asks from behind her, looking to the others. Everyone shakes their heads. "Keep your eyes open. Most of the knights that were made from their dark mass have disappeared. Everyone, return to safety and rest up."
The words were faint for Ally, her body finally giving in as she goes slack against the idol. "You need to worry about the woman in your arms, Jinki Hyung." Kibum speaks up, pointing to her. He looks down, a chuckle escaping his own lips. "Let's go rest."
The group nods. Jinki carefully picks the girl up, an arm under her shoulders and the other at the bend of her knees. For now, they would rest.
-
Faint noises are heard around the room. Hushed voices speaking to one another. She slowly starts to come to, her eyes opening as she takes in her surroundings. It's mainly SHINee. The boys all sitting around the room, their own wounds taken care of. They are talking to one another, catching up with their leader.
With some difficulty, she manages to sit up. Jinki turns, noticing that she's awake and helps her. He fixes the pillows so she can lean back against them. She thanks him, letting out a sigh of relief. He sits down on the edge of the bed, staying by her side. She looks at the others, clearing her throat.
"Is everything done with?"
The leader shakes his head. "We haven't found Keres and it's been a few days." Her eyes widen a little. "Yes. You've been asleep for that long. It would make sense since you used so much of your powers." She lets out a groan, letting her head hit the pillows.
"So no sign of Keres and we are at a standstill?" The others simply shrug, not know how to answer her. "They can't do much of anything. Yoongi injured them pretty bad. I'm sure they have lost a lot of blood by now," Jonghyun states, folding his arms over his chest. "Namjoon sent forces to take the castle down so Keres has no where to go to hide. Every single person is out on the look. We will know soon as possible."
She nods again, her body relaxing against the mattress. "What does that mean for me? Do I need to return home?" She looks at them again, each giving her a small smile. The room is suddenly full with sadness. Jinki pulls her close, a sigh escaping him.
"Unfortunately, you will have to leave us soon. But, not without a proper sendoff." She leans into his touch, not wanting to leave yet. She understands though. This isn't her home.
-
The next few days are a bit hectic. Some of the red knights do stumble upon a half dead Keres, bringing them back to the dungeons. Namjoon doubts the entity will live long enough to get any words from them.
As the hate dwindles, so does the life from Keres. One thing for sure, there will always be hate for the Kpop artists. Everyone knows that.
It's part of being in the industry.
-
"No! Don't do that! Bring some of the lights closer to the center. It's a party, not a club." Ji Young groans, watching Taemin mess the lights up again. He eventually gives up, deciding to put his own twist to the decorations. They decided to have the small party outside in the courtyard.
It was a celebration of freedom from the dangerous threats. The idols could finally relax and no longer worry who would be injured or almost lose a life. They were finally able to focus on something fun rather than prepare their armies to fight.
Namjoon and Yoongi had come to the conclusion of just keeping it to one kingdom. The two are part of the same group anyway. It made things easier.
Jin works on the food to be prepared for the small party, some help from Hoseok and Jungkook to set the tables. Taehyung and Jimin were helping with decorations. The rest of SHINee were trying to keep Ji Young from killing Taemin, while Jinki stands with Ally. The two were standing on the balcony, watching all of the commotion go on below. She leans against the railing, a sad smile on her face.
As it got closer to time for her to leave, she became sadder. She didn't want to leave them. She wants to stay. But in the end, she needs to finish her degree back at home. An arm wraps around her waist, making her look up at Jinki.
"Don't be sad, Ally. You will get to visit again one day." She nods, a few tears running down her cheeks. One day she will get to come back.
"For now, let's not be sad. I'm sure you'll be able to find something to wear tonight for the party. Nothing too fancy though."
She laughs softly, leaning up to press a soft kiss to his cheek and disappearing into the castle. She will at least have fun for the night.
Jinki stands there, his face burning and a pink blush on his face. "Ohh. Hyung got a kiss." He turns, seeing the beat of their group. Taemin quickly scurries off, going to get ready for the night. Jinki smiles softly, watching the rest of the group finish set everything up.
