Dragon's Love (Jungkook ff)

♡ Chapter 49 ♡

"You are going really nuts, aren't you?' Y/n asked, surprised at the fact that Jackson was even asking her to do something like that. Of course she will do anything to save her family, but how could she destroy a hell beast that even the dragons fear?

"My lady, I might be able to help you, but it has limits. I cannot make a huge impact on your destiny, as I told you. I apologise, but that is how the universal law works. As I already told you, only the owner of the destiny could change it." Jackson bowed dramatically, and Y/n placed her hand on her forehead, sighing.

"So, I have to kill a big, fat baddie hell beast all by myself without your help?" She asked the man, who started grinning almost immediately.

"Of course not, my lady. I will give you guidance for that task, so do not fear." He grinned toothily. That was the same reason Y/n panicked. She wanted to say no or ask whether there was another way. But Jackson won't mention it if it is not the quickest way to help her family, right? And besides, she couldn't find anything else to do. If this is the way, she'll do it, Y/n felt ashamed for backing off. She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid that she'd screw this up and that dragons would be the ones who suffered because of her.

Y/n took a deep breath and looked directly into the wizard's eyes. "Fine. What do I have to do?"

"Well that's the spirit." Jackson cheered with his usual cheery voice before making an extremely serious face.

"Now here is the real deal. I asked you to kill the Cerberus since Asgorath, or any other dragon, cannot even reach within the length of thirty feet near it. Because Cerberus contains a total different energy core from a dragon. Opposite energy that is filled with an unnatural icy energy. The dragons contain fiery energy with both positive and negative impacts. But the Cerberus contains only negative impacts of energy. There is a phrase among wizards that says evilness is more powerful than goodness. Which applies to the Cerberus." Jackson said while making himself more comfortable on the seat.

"And you are telling me to kill a beast like that all by myself? Perfect." Y/n's voice was dripping with sarcasm. All the courage she built up before started to fade away.

"Well, that applied to mythical creatures and to monsters only. For humans, demigods, and wizards, that rule does not apply. And wizards can't help, as they are bonded by the law of the universe. Demigods are extremely rare as red bellied hydras. So there is only one option: a mortal with positive energy." Jackson snapped his hands at the phrase.

"So how could we find someone with a positive impact? What's your plan?" Y/n leaned down, now interested in the talk.

Jackson stared at y/n. They held eye contact for a few seconds before y/n raised her eyebrow.

"There isn't a plan," Jackson replied.

"WHAT?" Y/n was about to jump at Jackson and chock him to death.

"I don't have a plan because I have already found the one." Jackson said, making y/n sigh in relief. "So, who is it?" She asked while smiling a little at the wizard.

The wizard posed a little, "Who else? It. Is. You. My lady. You have an aura of gold, which is really, really. strong. I could feel it from the beginning." Jackson screamed while pointing at y/n with a voice that said, I knew it was you.

Y/n's smile faded. "M-me?" she stuttered. "But what is it? I mean the aura. And all the stuff." Y/n was clueless. It may be rude to say it, but as always.

"All the mortals have an aura within them. They are divided into many categories, such as negative energy, positive energy, neutral energy, and normal energy. Normal mortals don't have an aura. And those auras have different colours, too. Some creatures with special abilities, such as wizards and goblins, could feel the aura around humans. The negative energy possesses an icy aura, which is really uncomfortable; the neutral energy is sooo calming and green in colour. The positive energy has a golden aura, which is really comfortable and warm. But only the wizards can see it, as they are the handlers of the destiny. But no one else can see them. Not even the dragons, only us." Jackson said, smiling.

"And you, my lady, are such a strong positive energy user. Blessed by the primordial gods themselves, if someone can kill the Cerberus, it is you." Jackson declared, leaving Y/n surprised by the information.

"Wow. I mean wow. Wow. I feel special. So I'm loved by some big primordials? Perfect. So can we please talk about the plan now?" Y/n titled her head like a bird, realising they went beyond the plan for a minute.

"So, here is it. There has been only one successful three-headed Rottweiler killer in human history. And there was only one other person who succeeded in catching a Cerberus except Tieran. Heracles. Heracles is the one who caught the Cerberus, of course, with my guidance. He is an idiot who finished all twelve labours with the help of me. Without me, he would be six feet underground." Jackson started bragging, but after seeing Y/n's face, he started to continue.

"The only person who succeeded in killing Cerberus was the high priest. He was a man with a huge amount of positive energy in the way you have them in your soul. But they are not usable. They will protect you when it's needed, but it isn't usable the way it is for wizards, warlocks, or nature spirits. That energy will help you reach near the Cerberus. Anyway, the high priests had a sword for the slaughter of the Cerberus. Transferring all the positive energy that he had before he gave the Cerberus its last stab. Then the Cerberus died. Along with the priest, as he was injured and healing was so slow. He died in glory, like a hero. But the good thing is that you don't have to die. They have the certain sword with the priest's energy stored under the ruins of the great temple that stood years ago." Jackson explained.

"Under the temple?" Y/n asked with wide eyes. What should she do? Should she burn the ruins to get the sword? Or remove the ruins? Or should she run towards them like a gorilla and lift a huge boulder over her head, throwing it at Tieran like a crazy woman? She really should calm down and let the wizard finish explaining the plan before getting into conclusions because her mind has started to mess with her since she was panicking. She took a deep breath and focused on Jackson's words

"There is a secret tunnel underneath this castle. It is unknown among every worker here and Tieran. It is even not marked in the castle maps." Jackson began.

"But how?" Y/n asked.

"Probably because the ones who drew the blueprints didn't know it was there or because the universe is filled with mystery. Anyway, I will tell you where it is. I knew where it was and went through it, of course. The tunnel has many openings to a lot of places, but I will give you the blue prints of them that I drew by myself. Follow them and go to the correct place. There is a non-broken statue of a lion in the middle of the runes. Go near it and press the lion's left eye and say, "I, Y/n, the lady wishes the death of Cerberus and asks for the aid of the great priest who succeeded his quest to achieve my goal." Then the statue of the lion will move away somehow, and then you can go inside. I won't come as I have some other businesses to do, but here take this." Jackson handed her small pouch.

"What is this, Jackson?" Y/n took the carefully made pouch. It is a black-coloured pouch with red and golden threads waved into scenery.

"It is an enchanted pouch. I made it so you could be more careful. Keep it in your hand or in a pocket so you can feel it. If it grows hot, it means that you are near the sword. If it started to move as if it were something alive, that means someone is following you.

There is some magical dust for invisibility inside the pouch. Use it wisely. The dust is invisible, so you won't be able to see it but feel it. Take a handful of dust and hold it over your head and let it fall to you. Then, as soon as the dust touches you, no one will be able to see you. But be careful; remember that it will only hide you from their vision so they will be able to feel you. Here's the map; keep it safe. After you have found the sword and want to come back. Whisper these words.

Στο όνομα της γης, Αφήστε με να επιστρέψω εκεί που πρέπει να μείνω

(Sto ónoma tis gis, Afíste me na epistrépso ekeí pou prépei na meíno.
Translation: In the name of the earth, let me return to where I belong.)

Jackson handed her an old-looking parchment and waved his hand, making her vision go black.
