In Her Hands.

the legend.

"That's what I thought."

"No wait. Why do you need my crown?"

"Not only I,  but we need it to give earth the peace it been seeking for centuries."

"Tell me more."

"Let's talk about this in the ship."

"I need to know why my treasure is being used for!" Mai said as she started to get frustrated.

"Then let's talk about this in the ship."
He calmy said , as he titled his head toward a big ship.

《I didn't notice that.》she thought

"Come here. They're waiting for us"

"They? "

"Just come here already!"

The black haired girl had no other choice then to follow him , walking behind him she could already hear her inner soul scolding her.

"Welcome to your future house!" Mingi warmly said as he make her enter the vast ship.

It was huge place , not too poor looking but not too luxurious.

"No way ! Princess Mai!" A man with fluffy black hair welcomed you warmly.

"I'll wake up hongjoong !!" He said as he ran to the stairs to get down.

"Hum? What's gonna happen now?"

She asked the tall blonde beside her.

"I don't know,  but you're with me so it's gonna be alright " he chuckle as he put his arms on her shoulders.

She just sighed , feeling strangely comfortable enough with him to do that.
"Let's just said that he's energy and aura is comforting." She thought to her inner soul.

"Here he come ! Heya captain !" Mingi waved to the new coming man.

He wasn't so tall , but we could see and feel that he was imposing. He had
A surprised expression as he saw Mai's figure , standing awkwardly with mingi's arm around her shoulder.

"See captain ! I won the bet you own me one" mingi chuckle again.

"Am I just a bet for you?" Mai asked not so jokingly.

"Of course not princess." Mingi said as he pat her head.

"Please both of you take a seat. We need to discuss."

The so said hongjoong talked. In a calm but serious tone.

"Sure..." Mai replied.

"So , we need your help princess."

The man said as Mai looked at him. Studying every feature of him.
Bicolor hair, one side was grey-ish as the other was black. Sharp jawline and piercing eyes , thin lips curled into a smirk. Yes. He was attractive. Both of the men were attractive.

Your thought was interrupted as you felt mingi elbow hitting yours gently. Signaling you that he was reading your mind.

"Yes. Tell me"

"We need the Higon's nation treasure,  along with the six others."

"Why ? Isn't my crown enough? Do you mean that my crown isn't powerful enough for you?"
She Asked.

"No please listen to me. Do you know the 7 treasure legends?"

"No I don't."

"Then let me tell you this story.
We all know that the 7 country's are the ones who make our new earth. One country own one treasure,  blessed by a deities power. It contain lot of power and possibilities. Along with that , every Royal family own their power. Higon's power is fire.
Your power Is represented by an inner soul,  it have it own thought but will obey at every thing you says. That's what is an inner soul right ?"

"Yeah , so what does My inner soul have to do with your legend?"

"Then, the nation's treasure,  here your crown , represent all of your defunct inner soul , as long as the queen before you.  It have taken all of it , to make the crown power last longer.
So now that both of you know how powerful this item is.

If we put the 7 treasure together. Gaïa. Our dear goddess. Will exhaust one of our dearest wish. That's why we need you." Hongjoong said as he looked into her eyes. Seeking for any of her reaction.

BOUM. A sudden noise interrupted the nights silence.

"So you want The 7 blessed treasure to exhaust one of your selfish wish?" Mai slammed her hands on the table as she got up. Ready to head and get back to her not so dear castle.

"It is not for selfish reason. We're gonna wish for peace around the world. Aren't you tired from all this fight ?"

"Do you really think that a Gaïa , will agree??"

"We don't know 'til we try."
The bicolor guy replied , in a playful manner.
She hated it. She hated how he played with her crown. She hated how he used her.

"Don't act like you don't want it. I know you do. It'll be a great adventure ! You'll be a free spirit if you come with us" mingi finally spoke.

"I won't be able to come back here , ill be seen as a traitor!."

"Don't act like you have something or someone that keep you from running away. You're just scared."
Mingi said as he carefully grab her arm again , making her sit down.

"We'll see when we go back here. We're going to give it back anyway." Hongjoong said again.

"Hongjoong is right ! We'll think about it when it'll happen."

The girl take a moment to think about it. Following strangers was crazy. All of that was crazy. She didn't know how many guys are there in this ship. What that really worth it ? She'll ruin her country image.
But she'll get freedom , her dearest wish.

Be selfish , just for once. A voice in her head told her. It was her inner soul. Finally giving her the signal to go ahead. The signait that'll change her life for good.
This choice is the typical choice that's going to change her life.

"Fuck it. Take it. I'll come with you. "
Mai said , following by a defeated smile.

"YEEPI !! WE GOT ITTT!!!" Mingi jumped in excitement as the captain smiled warmly.

"Tomorrow is the ceremony right ? We'll be waiting for you here. Don't forget your crown."

"Hongjoong is saying that you have go stole the Phoenix crown and then run here and We're going to somewhere ! Don't forget to bring anything you need !"

Mai sighed as she think of all of this. It was crazy.

But crazy story start with crazy decisions. That's what he said.

"Fine. I'll go now?"

"Let me walk you back your highness." Mingi ironically said.

"Sure " She chuckled , as she waved at hongjoong. Smiling ironically at him.
