His power had been granted...

——————————————————

Taehyung whipped his head around, his eyes taking in all the chaos around him.

Rebels, citizens and sins alike; falling to their knees in exhaustion. Their eyes glazed with confusion and fear.

Taehyung watches as everyone who was previously under his control, frozen, was given their autonomy and freedom again.

The brunet's eyes widen in terror at the sudden realization he could've used his newfound power for the destruction of hundreds of civilian lives.

He turns to find Jungkook still laying on the ground in pain, fading in and out of unconsciousness. He had used the last bit of strength he had to ward Tae off from the possibly malicious action.

Tae runs to Jungkooks side and holds him in his arms, pressing down firmly on his many wounds to try and subdue the bleeding further. He whispered soft reassurances into the youngers ears, not knowing if he could hear them or not.

A groan broke the confused silence of the amphitheater and people's attention was drawn to the leader of the rebellion, clutching his now bruised neck and glaring at the sin that had inadvertently caused it.

"You're gonna pay for that, try it again I dare you. Or do you want to kill the whole stadium?" The rebel grins evilly.

Taehyung inhales sharply, unsure of how to respond. He knows something needs to be done with the man before him. But he's terrified of his new abilities. What if he hurts someone again?

Tae glances around trying to find a familiar face of the Sin's guards in the crowd, scowling when he can't.

"No one's gonna help you, your majesty all your protectors are gone."

Taehyung grimaces and turns to face his assailant once again. He notices that the man- though his words are intimidating- is still kneeling on the ground, touching his neck every so often.

With no explanation Taehyung begins marching determinately to the man on the ground. The rioters eyes meet Taehyung's and for a second his smirk fizzles into fear. Tae notices this change and smiles inwardly. When the brunet stands just before the rebel, he grabs a fistful of the mans hair and forces him to look into his eyes.

The rebel is clearly scared, but tries to mask it with forced laughter and scoffing.

"What're you gonna do? Kill me? In front of everyone?" He mocks.

Taehyung smirks and considers this option for a solid two seconds before shaking his head.

Then Tae, hand still gripping the greasy locks of the lead rebel, turns to address the rest of the citizens.

"Listen here." He says quietly, though his voice booms throughout the amphitheater, echoing off every wall. The violet glow returns to his eyes.

"You all have every right to be angry." Tae begins, turns slowly to look all around him.

"But by injuring, and murdering the Sins. Are you any better than us? You accuse us of immense violence so what- you chose to fight fire with fire? What happens after we're dead huh?! You let this maniac rule? You've seen his ways- he's worse than we could ever be." Taehyung continues, voice growing louder and louder with every word.

"I will not play your game. This game of nothing but violence and death. I refuse."

Suddenly Tae yanks the rebel to his feet by the hair, pinning his arms behind his back so he can't run.
