Chapter 11: 5,000 years ago Pt. 2

It had been three weeks since the dragon warriors were captured. In those three weeks, the King would visit and demand them to lend him their powers. Of course, they refused to. However in doing so, the King would beat them. And poor Jungkook was the King's favorite to beat.

Jungkook had broken ribs, and a busted lip from being kicked and punched at. The four other dragon warriors had tried their hardest to protect Jungkook, but failed as they were still chained up.

Jungkook was knocked out on the ground. He had passed out from the pain. His body was weaker than the other's, since he was still young. Jin came as close as he could get to Jungkook, trying to examine him.

"That old hag is started to lose my patience." The ice dragon warrior said in a low tone. The air dragon warrior nodded in agreement.

"Why does he always beat Jungkook more then any of us?" The air dragon warrior asked as he looked at the younger. His eyes sadden at the sight of the poor boy. He hated how the King was torturing him more the the rest. "He's just a kid."

"If I could use my powers, and can at least get rid of the pain." Jin stated as he pulled at the chains again, out of anger. "Damnit."

Before anyone else could talk, the familiar heavy footsteps echoed throughout the halls. The dragon warriors all tensed up and glared at the iron door, awaiting for their not so friendly visitor. The iron door swung opened and in came the king. He looked at the four others before his eyes landed on Jungkook, whose shirt was ripped and torn. Jungkook's pale upper body on display.

The king licked his lips, as he looked at the young boy. The four dragon warriors felt disgusted by the king. The king continued watching Jungkook before walking towards him. Of course, the ice dragon warrior,  who was the closest to jungkook, went in front of him in a protecting manner.

The king tsked before kicking the dragon warrior aside. He grabbed Jungkook's hair, staring at the boy's face before slamming in to the ground. Jungkook opened his eyes a little, from the pain. The king lifted Jungkook's head up by the hair.

"Let go of him!" The air dragon yelled. If he had his powers, the whole room would have a storm raging in it. That was how angry he was. The king ignored him and looked at the two soldiers behind him.

"Bring him to the torture room." That one sentence made the four dragons that were awake, tense up on fear.

*****

Jungkook was woken up once again, however it wasn't by his face being slam to the ground. He was woken up by a bucket of icy water hitting his face. Jungkook shook his now wet hair and looked up. There standing in front of him was the king, who was smirking.

"Good morning, princess." The king said in a mocking tone of voice. Jungkook ignored him and looked at his surroundings. He didn't recognise the room he was in. "Welcome to my personal torture chamber."

Before Jungkook could speak, he felt something hit his back with a lot of force. He bit his lip as pain shot through his back. He looked over his shoulder to see a soldier holding a whip. The king motion for the soldier to hand over the whip, which the soldier complied.

The king walked behind Jungkook with a smirk. He raised the whip and swung it down, making contact with Jungkook's back. The sound of the whip making contact with Jungkook's skin echoed through the room. The king didn't waste any time before raising the whip and swinging it again.

Jungkook closed his eyes from the pain. He bit his lips, not wanting to scream, knowing that's what the King wanted. Everytime the whip made contact with his back, Jungkook would bit his lips harder and harder, to the point were it started to bleed.

After an hour, the King stopped hitting Jungkook with the whip. He was dissatisfied. He had wanted Jungkook to scream and cry, however he didn't. The king looked around the room and saw a branding iron. The king smirked as an idea popped into his head.

Be grabbed the branding iron and heated it to make sure it would leave a mark. Walking over to Jungkook, he moved his shirt to the side so that his chest was visible. Jungkook looked at what was in the King's hand, and his eyes widen. Before he could move away, the King pressed the branding iron onto Jungkook's chest.

Jungkook's ear piercing scream filled the room, and echoed down the hallway. His scream was so loud, that the four dragon warriors heard it from the room they were in.

They all jumped and shivered at the scream. Jin covered his mouth, not wanting to know why Jungkook had screamed. He just hoped Jungkook was ok. The four of them were waiting for Jungkook to return. They only waited ten minutes before the iron door to the room opened. Two soldiers chained Jungkook up before leaving.

The four dragon warriors looked at Jungkook, and their eyes widen. His back was decorated with scars that were bleeding. However, their hearts stop as they saw what the branding iron had left behind on Jungkook's chest. There, on his left did of his chest, was the branding iron mark. The mark was a sun shape. Jin gasped as he knew why Jungkook had screamed. The branding iron mark would be on Jungkook forever.

"That's it." The ice dragon had said. His hands were clenched into fists. He was pissed off. "When we are freed from here, the King's head is mine."

After that, the four didn't say anything and sat in silence. The ice dragon warrior moved Jungkook, so he was laying his head on his lap. He knew the younger needed rest, and he knew sleeping straight up wasn't comfortable.

"Guys." The lightning dragon spoke, drawing the attention of the three others to him. "I think I know how we can get out of here."
