dongju was sitting next to dongmyeong as he watched his brother with a frown. "i-i'm so sorry dongmyeong..." he mumbled as a tear fell.

"d-dongju..." dongmyeong's weak voice rang out, it went unnoticed though since the slightly younger male fell back asleep.

###

everybody was up a few hours later, giwook and dongmyeong we're looking better, jihoon had finally felt better, and youngjo was looking better too. "so what exactly happened yesterday?" byunchan asked.

"absolute hell..." youngjo growled clenching the cup in his hand tightly. jihoon looks at him and frowns softly.

"those red and white servants... were different from the other ones." yonghoon mumbled.

"they must be higher ups then, but now there is only one of them left, since jihoon killed one that is." geonhak explains.

"how do we know there aren't more though." youngjo asked banging his hand on the table standing up with a dark look in his eyes. jihoon looked at youngjo and frowns softly.

"thats just thing, we don't know if there are more white or blood red servents." dongju growled. dongmyeong looked at his brother as the older brother rubbed his arm in slight pain.

"this sucks, how can we beat them there is only 7 monarchs and the servents are definitely getting stronger thanks to helios, we're in trouble." giwook sighed as he moved some hair from his eyes.

"damn it! helios is going to fucking pay for what he has done to everybody! all of the lives he has taken really ticks me off." dongmi yelled punching the wall. gunmin pulled her hand back from the wall and sat it in his lap.

"you keep doing stuff like that and you'll hurt yourself, which means we would be down a member!" gunmin scolded.

"what happen to the previous eclipse child?" keonhee suddenly asked.

"the one 10 years prior to byunchan, right?" hwanwoong asked. keonhee nodded and looked at everybody, yonghoon's eyes widen holding his head shocked.

"p-previous eclipse child...?" yonghoon clenched his fist as it shook, "luna turman." the dark haired male said standing up as his bangs cover his eyes.

"who...?" hwanwoong asked.

"her name, was luna turman." dongmyeong mumbled, his body shook.

"luna was a girl that lived in america, 10 years before byunchan was born and 12 years before you guys became monarchs, we were chosen to protect lucy, while she lived here with her great gandparents... w-we failed." harin mumbled sadly, "the 6 of us were out at the park one day unaware of the threat that was above her. helios' son, taiyo, struck her, she was dead before we could save her."

"taiyo... what happened to him?" jihoon asked.

"he got away before we could do anything to him." giwook mumbled as tears treatened to fall. "luna was so sweet and so kind."

"i'm sorry to hear that guys, but now that we know this infromation, we all need to be on guard even more with byunchan." dongmi said, cutting into the sadness.

"we got our roles stripped away from us though, we can't help you even if we wanted to. we failed our mission! we let her die!" yonghoon yelled crying. "i promised to always be with her and protect her, but i failed! she meant the world to me and i lost her in the blink of an eye!" the 13 other people watched yonghoon cry.

"yonghoon-hyung, why are you sad about loosing her?" byunchan asked.

"she was my girlfriend... soon after me and the boys started hanging with her, we became a couple, it was amazing, then she was dead on our 3 month anniversry. you don't know how hard it is to see your girlfriend die in front of you." yonghoon yelled crying as he hugged his arms.

"all of this was before jihoon and dongmi joining onewe, so back when we were still mas." hyungu said.

"is that why you 5 are always so protective of us when we're out?" jihoon asked.

"mhm, but since we don't go anywhere without oneus, we aren't as careful as we should be." giwook explains.

"i can take care of myself, you know." dongmi sighed as she showed them her right pointer finger, a circle that represented the oneus logo was tattooed on it, that signafiled that she was a monarch, all of oneus had it. "this proves i know how to fight. i know my place, so instead of protecting me, let me and the boys protect you, as a monarch, this is the path i've chosen. to fight, protect byunchan, and to win against helios and destroy him." dongmi said, her voice was strong giving off an eary vibe.

"dongmi, calm down please." gunmin begged pulling her to sit down.

###

the group went out for ice cream after the incident that happened to them. "so what should we do now...?" hwanwoong asked softly, running a hand through his hair as they waited for their ice cream.

"we need to think of a way to beat helios and his team before they find us again and do more damage then they did last time." jihoon said.

"we could just attack them directly right?" hyungu asked. dongmyeong shook his head,

"without a plan we would all be dead in seconds if we don't know what to do."

"i hate the fact we can't just send one of us under cover and take them out from their side." geonhak mumbled.

"i could always go, they're probably after me anyway.."  jihoon said, her eyes fluttering around to look at her friends.

"why would you think that?" hyungu said worriedly, wide-eyed, looking at his best friend, placing both of his hands onto her shoulders, making her face him.

"i have my reasons... why wouldn't they want me, especially after what i did to their white servant." jihoon explains.

"yeah... why wouldn't we want the life of a girl, the girl who killed my wife." the group froze, dead in their spots. "such a sweet girl... always does the right thing i assume..." the voice said as jihoon's long dyed peach hair was lifted off her shoulders slightly. "nam jihoon or hana, the things i've heard about you are extraordinary, your musician skills as a violinist, producer and vocalist have got you somewhere in life. you lack love however and that's holding you back from even more unsparked talent." youngjo glanced at the person behind jihoon, it was the servant that wore the blood red outfit.

"you get your fucking hands off her!" youngjo growled, his eyes sharpening with a deep glare.

"i could end her life right this second, if you don't listen to me ravn." the servant said, jihoon felt shivers down her spine as the man still had a hold of her.

"how do you even know all of this information." dongju asked.

"i have my way son dongju. there is something i ask of you though since you guys are so weak." the male spat at them, onewe flinched while oneus was getting ready to fight him. "get your powers back onewe, then you'll have a fighting chance against me and my army." the male pushed jihoon forward, youngjo and yonghoon reached out to catch her, but hyungu got her first.

"how did he know we lost our powers..." harin asked.

"he said 'his army' just how many could there be?" gunmin asked, he held dongmi in his arms.

"who knows..." dongmyeong mumbled as he looked down at his phone to see a picture of him and a female with long curly hair pulled into a high ponytail, hugging him. 'yang areum... when will you come back..' he thought and let a tear fall down his cheek.
