Chapter One
The curtains of the windows were closed, the room was dark and all that can be heard is a painful short breath, a young man were covered by a long silky red cover with gold embroidery, his face was sweaty and his eyes were shut in pain.
The boy were biting his lip, the ache was so much for his frail body.
The medic signed a ‘no’ with his head towards the king’s worried face.
“I do not know how to cure it” then he bowed and left the room.
The king walked towards his son, taking his fingers through the dark red hairs of his son.
“I’m sorry; it is my fault that you’re so weak because when you were a child I took you to the cursed forest. I’m sorry” and the young prince moved his head in a no with a soft smile.
So many months passed and the firstborn child of the king were diagnosed like with no cure for a estrange illness.
After so many doctors and prayers, the king abandoned his faith in god and turned into mystical beliefs, he offered three hundred gold coins to the one that could save his son, even he promised to give all his belongings.
But the time passed and no cure where found.
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
On a place full of flowers, green grass, butterflies, and a rainbow reflected on a circle lake rounded of small rocks were three lights with shapes.
“He is dying” stated one of the lights.
“Are you not going to do anything?” asked other and the left one kept silent for a second before answered.
“I can’t” Under that white cowl the latter bit his under lip and turned away of the sight on the lake.
The other two keep his gaze on the retreating one; a glint of almost sorrow on their iris.
“You shouldn’t ask that” express the first one.
“Why not? He is his guardian angel after all” replied the second.
“You know that the moment the king of that place abandoned his faith and erased from his kingdom any statue or vestigium of us. We have no power there” answered the first.
“But… he is still his guardian, like us” the angel watched once again the lake, seeing the suffering of the queen because his son has no cure and he bit his lip “We are the guardian of the king and the queen, and I must protect the happiness of the queen” he state, but the other negate.
“But not when you make cause suffer on another being. Keep that in mind” and the angel disappeared with a last glance on the imagine of the king crying.
“It’s just… that I want to see her smile again” with his fingertips he traced the features of the queen on the lake and a tear fell.
“What are doing?” asked another celestial, startling the other and obtaining no response.
“Changmin, I asked you something” repeat the younger and the custodian keep silent, then the other sighed, walking towards the eldest, watching then a beautiful boy sweating and touching his chest like if with that all pain can be erased and he lift an eyebrow.
“Why are you watching this?” asked again the other angel without tearing apart his gaze on the lake.
“I…” sighed “I’m the guardian of the queen on that reflection” and the other nodded turning towards the first.
“Why is she is crying?” Changmin did not notice any wrong with the question, so he answered.
“Her first-son is dying and there’s no cure, maybe Junsu can help him but doesn’t want” and a bitter tone was there, obvious for one and forgone for the other.
“How can he help if there is no hope on that place, the king must first ask for forgiveness and then maybe Junsu will be allowed to help his human”
“You say that because you never have had any human on your charge” criticized angry, obtaining a smirk.
“And I do not need to have any, I’m younger than you but I’m superior” replied making fun of the other.
“One day you’ll know that being one of the dominions doesn’t make you heartless” and the latter laugh.
“Because I’m a dominion I don’t have useless feelings and because your insolence, I’m going to order to your principatus to change the human for you” the eyes of Changmin widened and he fell onto his knees, pleading forgiveness.
“Please… we know since the beginning of times… we’re friends, please…” but the other didn’t say anything, just turned around.
“We are not friends, we are brothers made by the same light but we must not keep any emotions, angels don’t have feelings, don’t have regrets, we only exist with one purpose and if you fail… then you are useless in heaven” and he left the lower angel, crying and begging.
“We can live and we can have a life, feel and suffer too!!”(we cannot live, we must follow orders and we have no life, just a purpose) shouted Changmin, but the latter just stop to say with a death glare.
“You are not an angel, no more” and left a shivered guardian angel, his wings were breaking painfully, being torn apart, falling into nothing, a dark shadow behind him appear.
“Angelus cecidit ad terram” (an angel fell to earth) and the angel like what was said, fell to the earth like a mortal.
“What did you do?” asked impressed the princedom of that place while watching how a potestas were on his way to earth with a now; fallen.
“My task, I accomplished my purpose” and the heaven were again in order.
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
“He must be exiled his majesty, or all the royal family will be on danger of death” said a sorcerer.
“I can’t do that!!” answered the queen, gotten near to his child.
“His majesty, please” tried to reason the sorcerer “All the serfdom that got near the prince has fallen sick and we have to kill them, so the illness doesn’t being propagated” the king was really thinking on what he was being said.
“And… the prince is going to die in no time, it’s better for him to be in a quiet and lonely free space on his remaining time than in a closed dark room” The queen started to cry again.
Then the young men hold the hand of his mother and smiled at her.
“I’ll be ok, it is my choice to leave the kingdom, if with that the people will be healthy” the small yet caring gesture moved his mother’s and father’s heart, they nodded with tears on their eyes flowing like no tomorrow.
Not even passed a day when the prince were on his departure, he was smiling behind the chariot glass but his will was breaking slowly, he knew that behind the sorrow faces of the serfdom, of his brothers, his fiancé, they were happy because he will be no there like a threat, the only ones on real sorrow were his fathers and that was breaking his heart.
It’s for the best. Be well my caring mother and my good father.
Be happy little brother of mine with my fiancé, I always knew you were in love but couldn’t confess to each other, now that I’m not a burden on your lives, you can be happy.
Be well my kingdom, because now the cursed one; will departure.
And to heavens I beg that, please… have mercy on this kingdom. My father is a good man with wrong choices but on his heart is no evil. So… please forgive and care for this land.
And the soft voice resounds on the heavens, on a particular lake more than in any other.
“He ask forgiveness, so his kingdom will be ok, but him…” and the angel turned towards other winged one.
“I know… it’s too late. I can do nothing now, because his will is on the kingdom my will must be too and not with him, that’s my duty” said the angel crying for his human.
“I’m sorry” he tried to pat the shoulder of the other, but retrieved his hand, because no contact was allowed in heavens.
“I need to tell his prayer to our princedom” he wiped his tears and stopped by the other’s words.
“If you do that… then you-” he smiled.
“I know Yunho, I know…” the smiled never fade away but the silhouette did, letting a sad angel watching his friend vanished.
“Junsu…”
It’s unknown if it were minutes, hours or a second, but in the earth were a week, the sky cried for a whole week, washing away sins, bad thoughts or any evilness on the land and people, while in heaven just only one angel were crying because the pure rain in earth was made by the ripped soul of his friend.
Only a pure will can give forgive to a tainted land.
Junsu… and the angel turned into a devil, because the hate towards his human; the king wasn’t worth of his friend sacrifice. It wasn’t because the one that asked for mercy was the son, and because he can blame a pure soul, he cursed his own human, obtaining with that his own fell.
The report was in less than a minute on one of the dominions hand; he shut his eyes in rage and walked towards the angel that gave the information.
“He is in a bad mood” said mocking one.
“Shut up, will you? He is the higher of us, so he must deal with a lot of problems” answered other.
“Yeah, right!” replied sardonic.
“Shut up, or I’ll tell him that you were the one that punished Changmin by sending him to earth and you did not kill him” threat the other one, and the dominion grunted and shutted his mouth, because if that were told, his status will be lowered.
“I heard right?” asked another.
“Yes, you did” replied the younger in challenge, true was that he didn’t want to be punished but his ego was more than his fear, and not for being a coward he was one of the dominions.
A smirk was plastered in all the others angels and an impure thought were on the younger’s mind.
I’m screwed up
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
Incredible at how can be, his health were getting better in the past weeks, he knew a few things about his father and kingdom but it were good news so it was fine for him to know that they were ok.
One day, walking near to the mountain, because he was searching for some mushrooms and something more to eat, he found a farmer collecting some seeds. He talk carefully with the man, and what he said to him, startled him.
“Yeah… as you may know that kingdom were almost falling down, but now that the cursed prince isn’t there, everything is going well, the royal family made a new deal with the clerics and the younger prince is going to marry the ex-fiancé of the eldest prince” the man were drinking water and the younger nodded with tears threatening to fall.
“So… nobody loves the first prince, right?” he asked slowly, fearing the answer.
“No” and the man starting again his collecting added “Everyone is happy that he left, no one knows how he is, but nobody mind either. The people even made a legend, that if you ever see a young, weak, and pale boy, you must kill him or bad luck will enter your house” after that, no more were said and each one parted separated ways.
“I’m a cursed person and…”
No one loves me, my life is a mistake.
And tears fell like pearls.
Meanwhile a boy were walking mountain down, no cursing but just thinking on the curses.
A bough were wrapped on his shoes and he hissed annoyed, this was all the fault of the elders and now he knows what hate is.
A week on earth with no privileges and no powers.
Like any human.
“I bet that they are making fun of me right now” he thought.
And his pants were torn by a wild plant, so he hissed again and keep walking with no path traced.
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
“Now that the kid is not here, we can relax, he’s stricter than me”
“We must keep an eye on him then?” inquired one and the leader shook his head in negation.
“He is my right hand, I just punished him because he is so insolent sometimes, but he is the best. Has no emotions, no guilt and never before has been in contact with any human, furthermore, I send him to a lonely place on earth so he’ll never met someone; just let him be”
“If that’s your command, then it will be done, but why sending him to earth like an human and no lowered his rank?” asked the dominion.
“Because what he hates the most are humans. He doesn’t know humans but he had always think that humans are the most awful and rotten beings, so the only feeling that he has even when he is an angel, is hate towards humanity, it just that he doesn’t realize that yet”
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
The prince wipes his tears with his sleeve and tried to smile at the cottage where no one was waiting for him, so the tears started to fall again until he heard a hiss.
He turned towards the sound, widened his eyes when a person were almost a few meter away from him with a frown and icy eyes, he scanned the man in front of him, and then realize that he had some injury on his left leg, near the shoes.
He cut some of his silky shirt and run towards the man, putting the fabric on the blood, cleaning the wound.
“What are you doing?” asked the cold voice and the other shivered without letting his doing.
“Cleaning, it can be infected if I do not do that” and the latter just tried to pull his leg with no success, so he just keep there.
“I’m going to be tainted if someone like you touch me” and magically the touch loss his strength, and the boy lift and turned towards the cottage.
The other raised an eyebrow and shout incredulous.
“Yah! Are you going to let me here, at the nothingness?” his eyebrow were furrowed now and he walked towards the small house and entered like nothing.
“You, stained human, sleep outside, I do not want to contaminate myself” and the red haired boy blinked surprised and with fear asked.
If you ever see a young, weak, and pale boy, you must kill him or bad luck will enter your house
“You know who am I?” and the black haired one rolled his eyes.
“Of course not. My duty is other, not knows everyone’s names” and he shutted the door of a slam, startling the other.
“At least he doesn’t will try to kill me because he doesn’t know me” he giggled and then sighed “now I need to sleep outside”.
The sky was almost dark when he heard some steps, and two shadows were making their self clears with any step.
“So I told you not to worry, because…” and the one talking stopped while watching some shaking figure outside the door of the cottage and ran towards the boy.
“What are you doing here? Are you crazy?” shouted the man, obtaining a shy gaze from the prince.
“Just… something happened” and the beauty man rolled his eyes.
“Who is inside the house then?”Ask the other.
“Well… I was arriving here to eat, when…”
“So, you didn’t even eat!!!” shouted angry the beauty one and sat up, shouting at the door “Yah!!! You’re so fucking screw up right now, I’m gonna fucking kill you, you fucking bastard” and the elder ran to his loved to calm him down.
The door opened, revealing an angry handsome man with messy hair.
“What?” he said irritated, watching a man with brown hair holding by the arms another man with dark hair and the one that he met in the afternoon standing there.
“Let me go!! If you don’t let me go, no sex for a week Leeteuk” and in an instant the hold was gone.
“Are you going to make a scene in someone house or you just like to bother at the middle of someone’s sleep?” and now the two men were red, so the prince bowed in apologize and smiled shyly.
“I’m sorry. Heechul and Leeteuk just want to help me to enter the house, but we don’t going to bother you more, so… sleep well” and he extended his hand towards the door and closed it respectfully, letting the other blinking like a fool.
“Why did you do that?” asked Heechul.
“I just don’t want to make someone uncomfortable, and I can still sleep here, is warm because is summer” he smiled.
“You know that you can always accept our offer and going to live with us, right?” asked Leeteuk with a reassuring smile and the boy nodded.
“I know, thank you” Heechul snorted, but hugged the younger.
“Just this night I’m going to let that bastard be there, but tomorrow, I’m going to bring Sungmin so he’ll kick his ass” and he kissed the cheek of the younger.
“I’m sick, you can be infected!!” said with his eyes widened and with sorrow.
“If that happens, then I’ll need to move here and you wouldn’t be lonely anymore” the prince smiles.
“When both of you are with me, I’m no lonely” and he left himself being hugged by the two men.
“We just come to check if you were alright, but I’m worried, letting you stay here… outside” said Leeteuk, and Heechul shakes his head in negation.
“Let him be, it’s his wish” murmured and the other sighed, turning to the boy “Just, be ok, right?” and then both left.
Slowly was the door opening, letting the slight light reflect on the grass and the prince turned towards the younger men, tilting his head to the side.
“There something that you want?” asked the prince and the men did say nothing, just let the door open while he retrieve to the inside.
Then the prince smile and said almost in a whisper.
“I’m Hyukjae, Lee Hyukjae” and the men just lay down on the bed, turning his back to the other.
“Kyuhyun” and Hyukjae smiled, putting himself a meter away of the bed with just one blanket, for the first time he wasn’t going to sleep alone.
