Oblivion|| Choi Beomgyu

| 19 |

The sky from the kingdom of Ikosta turned grey in an instant, welcoming the return of its god as the birds from the trees flew away in a group, their wings flapping as the sudden cold air met their feathers. The waters grew rapidly, and waves and currents became more alive as they hit rocks from the land, all in a panicked state of mind.

Shun nearly fall on his back after seeing the big five gods all standing in front of him, the mortal teen swallowed down the lump in his throat after seeing his god. Beomgyu, who had the veins on his neck becoming visible along with the black tears that kept on rolling down his pale cheeks without a pause.

Shun was doing his rounds of patrolling the castle alone, having the necklace that Beomgyu gave him with some of his mana, giving him the power to keep things at bay and safe while he was gone. But now, he watched with wide eyes when the necklace broke out of his neck, the ruby charm shattering in front of their eyes as the power inside of it quickly returned to Beomgyu.

"Oh no! His powers increased!" Hueningkai panicked.

"We have to do it!" Taehyun and Yeonjun both nodded their heads in understanding, eyes talking by themselves as they gathered all of them to bring Beomgyu into his bedroom.

"Shun, I need you to lock all of the doors inside this castle. Nothing has to get in or out! The windows also need to be closed shut!" Soobin ordered the teen who quickly nodded his head and ordered the other servants to help him with the task.

"You can't do this! Remember who's the first of us five!" Beomgyu's devilish deep voice filled the room. He was struggling to get out of Hueningkai and Soobin's grip, his mouth hanging open as they all widened their eyes from the disturbing sight of the same black liquid leaving his mouth.

They need to move quickly or else it would be all too late.

"Get him ready" Yeonjun started, mentioning Hueningkai and Soobin to move Beomgyu in front of his bed, to have his back somewhere safe to land on.

Signaling them to let go, the two gods quickly let go of Beomgyu, they all watched as the corners of the God of Death's mouth twitched up slowly, the feeling of not having their clutches close to him made a vicious smile appear in those black colored lips. Thinking that he got the upper hand but no.

"We have to get rid of the air in his lungs, kill his mind, and lay him down"

They all heard Taehyun's voice inside their head, nodding in response. Yeonjun tilted his head to the side, a sly smirk settling in between his lips before his eyes glowed in a light shade of grey, moving freely as the wind, he covered Beomgyu's mouth with his palm before whispering next to his ear.

"πάρε την τελευταία σου πνοή (take your last breath)" He whispered, watching as Beomgyu's eyes also glowed in a light shade of grey before falling weak on his knees. An air current takes over the room.

Signaling Hueningkai and Soobin, the two gods grabbed hold of Beomgyu's hand before slicing his palms, squeezing as much black blood out of him. They could only squint their eyes or bite down on their lip whenever Beomgyu would release a scream of pain.

"Taehyun, now!" The three shouted at the same time as the God of Minds placed both of his index and middle fingers on Beomgyu's temple, with green glowing eyes, Taehyun screamed, his power fighting along with Beomgyu's.

He needs to kill his mind. He needs to. It went on for who knows how long, all of the servants were closing their ears from their screams and Shun could only stand behind Beomgyu's door, lips quivering and tears rolling down his cheek whenever he would hear the sound of his god's cries.

They all watched as Beomgyu finally closed his eyes slowly, his body growing limp as he lost all control of his muscles resulting in his body falling back, Hueningkai was quick to save his fall, carrying him and gently laying him down on his bed.

Taking a step back, Hueningkai slump down on the empty chair that was beside Beomgyu's bed. The room fell into a deep pit of silence, their emotions taking them down the dark abyss as they looked at their friend with a heavy feeling forming in their chest.

From Beomgyu's tousled hair, and his tear-stained cheeks for the world painted him a picture where cracks were always the artist to complete his picture. There would always be those cracks for them to shatter along with him.

Then, they all looked at his hands where the cuts were buried deep.

"Let's let Shun in the room" Soobin's voice was the one that broke the killing silence. One by one they all left the room with a face that also masked their shattered façade.

But through the hands of trees, and the bodies of water somewhere in the kingdom of Ethouvaria, you were huddled in his blanket, locking yourself in the room across from you. His room.

You could smell his scent, the pages of books, the leaves from the forest along with the smell of the dead rose petals that he touched in the garden.

You felt pathetic, the founding pain was now a huge part of your life as every day goes by you're growing numb to it. All you did was cry, the sadness becoming your companion in this cold room for the past couple of hours. You didn't know what to feel anymore.

Looking down, you touched the necklace that Beomgyu gave you, gripping the red diamond with the thought that if you'll wear it... you'll feel him being with you. But you didn't, it's almost as if he's lost, he's gone and alone.

You both are, and you just wished that you can be alone together.

But maybe when we're ready, we'll meet again. But then, I'm always here, waiting for you.
