Xanta City

"This...is the city that you grew up in?"

Tristin looked around with Doni and Tayden, seeing just how differently he and Taeyong grew up.

"Sure is. I lived here with my parents and my sister as a family of gods of fortune. I was the youngest back then, so I would sit and watch as they granted wishes. But there was a war here between man and machine, and because fewer people came back to our shrine, they all disappeared one day from being forgotten. I was the only survivor back then because of Jaehyun. He survived the war and came back to our shrine. But because I had left, he stayed put there for years waiting for me to come back. If I hadn't come back here when I did that day, he definitely would've died some time after"

"So both of your families were taken away from you, just in different ways.."

Doni analyzed.

"Pretty much yeah. Except I was just a child, and I don't have any kids or a wife. Tristin was already an adult and he had both that were taken away by his own family of destroyer gods"

"But father survived because everyone that truly loved him didn't forget him, and you survived because Jaehyun-hyung didn't forget you"

Tayden pointed out, looking more on the bright side of things.

"Actually, I'm not the only one that survived because of Jaehyun. Follow me~"

"Wow! She really spruced up the place~. Hey Eunji! Are you around here~?"

Taeyong suddenly called out for a person that none of the three were familiar with.

"Oppa~. You finally made it~"

Suddenly, a girl jumped down from one of the trees near them, and landed in Taeyong's arms for a hug.
