Sweet Agony : 이희승

Miss Gone Destiny

" A pleasant night..... "
-------------------

He had gone to the balcony to get some fresh air, it was a slightly windy summer night.

The bewitching smell of the red roses coming from the garden filled his nostrils and he smiled.

"A pleasant night, which comes once in a blue moon.."

He said to himself as he leaning his arms on the balcony's marble railing.

He stood like that for a couple of moments till he felt a presence behind him.

"You were here! Hyung we were looking for you like crazy! What are you doing here?"

"I just needed some fresh air, Riki and I was enjoying my moment here till you came. What happened?"

"Hyung, we need you right down there." He pointed at the white marble floor of the balcony, meaning downstairs.

"If it's not urgent, then I don't wanna be disturbed, you will tell the others."

"Hyung.... It's urgent.... It's about the princess... Princess Chaedal..... She's gone...."

"A pleasant night can always turn to a hell....." He thought, worry and anxiety filling him up and his expressions showing them.

"Where's she? Did you find her?.."

Riki's head fall and he started to look at his black polished shoes. He nodded a 'yes'.

"We found her, hyung...... But she was laying on the ground, lifelessly..... We found her at the place which is fully covered with red flower petals, on the plain which appears after passing through the forest....."

Riki stopped for a moment to breathe then faced with the older one. Tears had already formed up in his eyes.

"Hyung..... She was just laying on there with a stake stabbed in her heart... She is gone.. Gone forever..."

He couldn't control his tears, not anymore. His tears were falling from his eyes like the waters coming out of a fountain.

The older one approached to him and pulled him in a hug and he also started to crying with him.

He thought that the younger one had already dealt with many things that are too heavy for him to bear, he was worried about the younger one.

"Everything is gonna be alright, Riki we both will be alright.."

"Hyung..... She said that you were her destiny and she would love you forever.... She was your soulmate, hyung..."

"And now she's gone, forever......."

"She wanted me to give you this, hyung. It is a gold necklace with a tooth on it.." The younger one pulled out the necklace from the pocket of his vest, handing it to the older one.

"She said that this will be a shield for you as long as you wear it. She said that she'd be by your side and protect you as long as you wear it."

"I remember this necklace, Riki..... It is the same necklace that cursed my mom and led to her death..... I'm gonna destroy it, destroy it for the good."

"Only a sacred dagger or stake can destroy this, destroy this without causing any curse to you, hyung."

"Will the stake in her heart work?"

"It will actually, it was a scared stake.."

When they both destroyed the necklace, the curse disappeared without cursing them.

Everything was fine and okay but now she was gone, she was gone because of it, because of the cursed necklace.

"Curiousity and greed leads to the loss of life, aren't they, Riki?"

"You're right, hyung.... You're right.."
