Before the sun could rise you took your positions. You were standing in front of fort, the fort you had to break through, protected with most efficient warriors, all type of creatures, all kind of magics including - Dark arts. 

You heart was beating with the speed of light as you took your position in front of Eastern gate, you could feel the weight of the upcoming war already, each breath you took was laced with the gravity of the moment. As you mounted Yongmi (your dragon), you could feel her heart beat through her skin, faster than usual, even she was aware of the gravity of the moment. 

You stole a glance at your right where Tae was riding Yeontan, his usually warm gaze was cold, his eyes hardened with the determination to protect you and everyone he held dear. His green aura shimmered faintly around him, a shield ready to be deployed at any moment. 

At your left, Monie stood beside you mounted on which Namjoon was looking more than ready, his gaze locked onto the fort. His expression was unreadable, but you could sense the storm brewing within him. He was always the pillar of strength, the one who held the group together with his unwavering resolve. Today, however, there was something different—an edge of determination that burned brighter than ever before.

Behind you, the warriors shifted restlessly. Their breaths came in shallow gasps, their eyes darting around, searching for signs of the enemy. They were all seasoned fighters, hardened by harsh training sessions, but the knowledge that this could be the final confrontation weighed heavily on their minds. The silence was deafening, the only sound being the rhythmic thumping of hearts that beat in unison, a steady drumroll announcing the upcoming clash.

Just opposite to yours, at the western gate, Jimin, Yoongi and Seokjin had already took their positions, riding their dragons proudly. Choosing Western gate for Yoongi's team was also quite a story, when you researched everything about the fort you need to know, Namjoon told that Western gate has least number of Manigers, which means easiest gate to break through by the black i.e. invisible Army of Yoongi, and by the past experience at the palace, Seokjin was best at dealing with Manigers, and to deal with the normal warriors there, Jimin and his Yellow power team was there, ready to fight any difficulty that came and three of them to keep and eye on activities on other three gates.

The southern gate, physically the strongest one. To break through it, Jungkook's purple i.e. muscle power Army was standing, ready to crack the walls in fraction of seconds. Jungkook flexed his muscles, every inch of him a warrior ready for battle. Along with his purple team, there was a whole lot of spigons, led by Eunwoo, as Eunwoo stole a glance at his team, his young Spiky, his heart skipped a beat, the youngest, the cutest, the most vulnerable dragon here, still looking most excited for the war, there wasn't even a bit of fear on his face, just determination to save his master with all he had. Beside them was standing J-hope's red power Army, ready to create the biggest weapon or the strongest canon withing fraction of seconds, as per the need of the moment. 

Lastly, the northern gate, protected by all kind of magical spells anyone knows, warriors with all seven superpowers and all type of magical creatures one could think of, hence needing the most experienced warriors there. The leaders of previous generations, empress Cho Chang, Mr.Jeon Mr. Yoon-ho,  the most experienced leaders among all were deployed on this gate, the glimpses of last war running through their minds, only to feed fuel to their already burning rage, the people who died, the people who survived, everything went wrong, everything which was not right, all images were still fresh in their minds. And finally, it was time to fix whatever went wrong and make a new history, history of Victory, of triumph over the dark power. 

Namjoon: Ready?

All: Ready!

You: Then Let's begin with the most painful and historical war!

Only command awaited since years was finally out.Your command echoed through RM's mind links. In an instant, your team surged forward, like lions starved for weeks. 

From within the fort, Heemuk watched the gathering forces with a grim of scorn. He had anticipated this attack, but not so soon. His lip curled as he recalled the ease with which he had crushed your parents' resistance years ago.

Heemuk: Fools!

The word escaped his lips with a devilish smirk.

Heemuk: They think they can defeat me? They will be nothing but ashes beneath my feet.

Heemuk's preparations were thorough. His troops were well-positioned, and the fort was fortified with traps and defenses that had taken years to perfect. He was confident in his superiority, confident that he would emerge victorious once more. He turned to his generals, issuing orders with the precision of a man who had already won.

Heemuk: Let them come! We will crush them, just as we crushed their ancestors.

The first clash came with the force of a thunderstorm. Yoongi's invisible army moved like shadows, slipping through the western gate with Seokjin at the forefront. The manigers, however, were quick to react, their eerie shrieks cutting through the air as they sensed the intruders. Seokjin's blade flashed, cutting down the first of the creatures, but more surged forward, their claws bared and ready to tear through flesh.

At the eastern gate, you led the charge alongside Taehyung and Namjoon. The initial wave of defenders fell quickly, but more poured out from within the fort, their numbers seemingly endless. Taehyung's green shields sprang up around you, deflecting arrows and spells, while Your power disoriented the enemies, making them stumble and falter in their attacks. But despite your best efforts, the onslaught was relentless.

The north gate was a scene of raw power. Jungkook's fists crashed into the stone walls, each blow sending shockwaves through the ground, each blow fueled by the memories of fallen comrades. His muscles strained, veins bulging as he pushed beyond his limits. Eunwoo's spigons were a blur of motion, their strikes precise and deadly. But the fortifications were strong, and every inch of progress was hard-fought.

Blood stained the earth as the battle raged on. Warriors on both sides fell, their screams of pain and rage filling the air. The clash of steel against steel, the crackle of magic, and the roar of battle created a cacophony that drowned out all else. Your heart ached with every life lost, the weight of each sacrifice pressing down on you. But you couldn't afford to stop, couldn't afford to let their deaths be in vain.

Heemuk's forces were ruthless, their numbers overwhelming. It felt like for every enemy you cut down, two more took their place. The sheer scale of the battle was unlike anything you had ever experienced, and despite the strength of your forces, doubt began to creep in. Was this truly a battle you could win?

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the battlefield, the tide of the battle started to turn. Heemuk's forces pushed back, their numbers seemingly endless. Exhaustion weighed heavily on your shoulders, your limbs growing sluggish with each swing of your weapon. The sight of your comrades falling around you was a knife to your heart, each death a reminder of the stakes you faced.

It was in that moment, as the night began to close in, that you realized the truth: you were losing.

The fortress gates were still standing, the enemy forces were still strong, and your own army was beginning to falter. The realization hit you like a punch to the gut, the bitter taste of despair rising in your throat.

But this was not the end—not yet. As you stood there, breath ragged and heart heavy, you knew that the battle was far from over. The war had only just begun.
