Sons Of Chaos [Stray Kids Fanfiction]

VIII

A sense of dread fell upon the children as the weighted their odds.

"What about Hades' land?" Seungmin said shyly.

Changbin tensed visibly as the small gusts of soul became darker around his weapon.

Minho groaned as lowly as he could as his body seemed to burn, or at least his skin.

"The Lagoon of Souls is still a passage to the Underworld" He explained. "I have no idea why we would reach Athena through there"

"The soul guide," Felix said with his head low. "He owes three souls a wish"

Chan, Hyunjin, and Minho shared a look. Their insides turning at the thought. The souls of the children were given a wish. All other demigods were able to use it. Except for the three rejected from birth.

"My father killed the soul guide," Changbin said with heavy breaths.

Woojin stared at him. Something clicked in his brain as the disgust entered his system in rapid pulses.

"I will not bring back any souls from the dead" Changbin said. "That means suicide even for my father"

"They guide us to it" Chan reasoned.

Hyunjin cursed as he extended his hand, his eyes turning an emerald green.

"Please take us to him," He said, his voice alluring and welcoming. "It's the only way you can avenge your father"

Changbin felt limp and numb under the gaze.

"Hyunjin!" Jisung yelled.

"He was not going to do it either way!" Hyunjin argued. "If we go without weapons, we may find something even worse than whatever stood in Sparta"

Felix frowned as he felt his pocket. Did he really take the gem?

Jeongin could feel the cool smoke wrapped around his body. A sense of comfort filling him up. But something felt extremely wrong. Where was the boy that communicated with him before?

"Oh, my dear child!" A voice exclaimed. A woman. "You did as told!"

"Of course mother." The woman that had taken him out said.

"Oh, this boy is beautiful" He heard. "Young and tortured. Perfect"

The witch looked up with big eyes. Regret, fury and confusion flashing through her features.

"He is to become the first son!" She announced a little too excited.

The witch looked down.

"Yes mother," she said as the smoke dissipated.

Jeongin was silenced as he didn't understand the situation. The woman rushed to him as she gripped his shoulders.

"You have to run," she said. "The rest of the children were looking for you. You have to catch up to them in Athena."

"What....?" His said in a voice that didn't seem like his own.

"Woojin promised to find you," the witch said. "And I promised that I would keep you safe"

Tears began to stream down her cheeks.

"I can still keep my promise. So go" she said, releasing his shoulders.

She took a step back but the boy didn't move. He didn't know where or what to do.

The witch grabbed his hand softly.

"Go" she whispered.
