Beyond The Valley |k.th|

"Was death the answer to beauty?"

*Mitchell Tanner~ Eternity*

Taehyung felt nothing.
Nothing but warmth, and the wet prickles of fresh grass tickling his arms.

"Is this how it feels to die?"

He remembered death, he remembered dying.

He struggled to open his eyes, but once he did; he marveled at the sight.

Lavender skies decorated with fluffy pink clouds.

Majestic birds soaring above him with colorful wings.

He sat up at once, his eyes wide in awe.

He was sitting in a field of flowers, colors that he had never seen before painted on their petals.

This.....was this heaven?

He could hear the sounds of twinkling bells, and tiny voices whispering the sweetest songs.

Standing up, he spun slowly in a circle, amazed by this heaven he didn't think even existed.

With a bright smile on his face, he ran through the field of flowers, his brown hair flowing with the wind.

He yelled with delight," I made it!"

He ran.
Beautiful, shining colors danced around him, and he felt like he was glowing.
He ran until his legs felt like jelly.

Until he came to what seemed like a village, a village full of creatures that he had never heard of in storybooks he read as a kid.

He glanced around curiously.

A few creatures stared at him with confusing looks, but he shrugged it off.

He was new here.
He would fit in nicely.

But then a thought came to his mind.

Where was Jungkook?

If they had both died together, at the same time; they would be here together now.

Maybe he had ran off to explore.

This world, this heaven; was not like the earth they were born in.

It was like they had flipped a light switch, and every beautiful thing that they had missed in their world, had been discovered.

Was death the answer to beauty?

He searched around the village; creatures were crowded together in groups of three or four, bustling around happily as they bought from markets or met with friends.

Their laughter was like heavenly music to Taehyung's ears.

He sighed in delight.

Standing in the middle of the walkway, he was accidentally bumped into.

He consciously bowed his head in respect, but when he looked back up, a girl with her face halfway covered with a hooded cloak looked back at him with confusion in her dark eyes.

Taehyung smiled,"I'm very sorry about that. I'm new here, so I'm just learning about how it works here."

She frowned," New? But, no one is new in Xiiancia...." She trailed off.

So this heaven was called Xiiancia....

A young man dressed in what seemed like royal ensemble walked up to them before Taehyung could reply back to the girl.

"Princess," He whispered," Is there a problem?" He glanced at him once, looked back at the girl, then looked at him again.

"Who are you?" He asked, his voice sounding tense.
