Chapter 1: The Monarchs

"Leave!"

"We don't need you all here anymore!"

"You only bring us misfortune!"

"Die!"

The six monarchs stood at the edge of the forest. They listened to the hurtful words their beloved humans were throwing at them.

"How could it end up like this?" Xion, the youngest of the six monarchs, looked so sad and hurt. "One moment we were all happily having a festival but then..."

"They are too frightened." Leedo shook his head. "We can't blame them."

It was true. Either ways, if it's for their love for the humans or if it's a natural reaction that they could understand, they can't blame them.

"Die!" A citizen threw a stone which hit Seoho's head. He stumbled but luckily, Keonhee caught him. Seoho touched his head to find himself bleeding.

"Seoho, you're bleeding."

"I'm fine." Seoho wiped the blood from his hand and tried to hold himself from wincing in pain. He felt his head shake and his vision blurry but he tried to suppress it.

Their servants instantly went in front to cover the six monarchs as the citizens followed to throw rocks at them.

"Helios," Ravn gritted through his teeth. "I'm gonna make him pay."

"Don't say that, Ravn." Hwanwoong shook his head. "He might do something even worse to us."

"Is there even something worse than this?" Xion asked. He looked at the people they love throw rocks at them.

Their servants yelled for the people to stop but they only get rocks hitting them as a response. Their voices were getting louder and painful for the monarchs to hear.

"Let's leave." Seoho began.

"We're really leaving them?" Xion asked, purely hesitant.

"We have to... Or else Helios will make the sun disappear. The people won't be able to live like that. They can't live in an eternal darkness."

The six monarchs looked at the people for one last time before leaving, their hearts broken and crushed.

Upon getting far from the humans and into exile, the monarchs and the servants still remained to walk in silence. None of them dared to speak as their hearts were screaming in anguish.

It has been like that for the whole time until one servant fell onto his knees. He leaned his forearms on the ground as his free hand grasped onto his chest, as if he was struggling to breathe.

Everyone turned to look at the servant with worry.

"Hey, are you okay--" Xion walked forward to help the servant but he as well went on his knees. Just like the servant, he gripped onto his chest.

No one made it to help them as one by one the monarchs and the servants fell down and felt the same thing.

Keonhee struggled to breathe, tears were stinging his eyes. "W-What's... Happening?"

"It hurts." Hwanwoong gasped. "Make this stop."

The sky rumbled in anger. Its thunder drummed the monarchs' and the servants' ears, adding too much pressure to the excrutating pain they're feeling.

"You have displeased me, monarchs." A loud and deep voice echoed through the whole place.

"H-Helios..." Ravn breathed, his hand finding anything to hold on.
