In the era of emperor Min, peace, comfort and justice were spread all around the empire,
The benders of the 7 powers were peacefully living on the same grounds without wars and fights for once, the supernaturals living on empire grounds were glad t...
The emperor, Jimin, Jungkook, Seokjin, Namjoon, Hoseok and Army, All of them were gathered at the castle's great hall discussing what to do, About what? Well...about the fact that the empire's best archer and the last shadow bender, Kim Taehyung, is lost and they can't find him. About the fact that they still didn't solve the puzzle, they just fell for the illusions and were able to overcome it but that doesn't mean it's all done, They still need to find the key...
"Guys who do you think might be the owner of this puzzles key?", "I don't know Seokjin hyung....it's all about emotions", They nodded at Jimin and hummed trying to solve or think of something, Army was so deep in thoughts, her beautiful eyes were flickering from brown to purple and they were dazed.
The witch was trying to locate Taehyung's location for the last few minutes and Jungkook kept on giving her the names of some places he thinks Tae might go to, The earth bender's state was miserable... His eyes were swollen, his face was red as well as his eyes, he looked lost and pale that even the angry emperor was shocked and let him in with Namjoon and Seokjin when they all came to him running and asking for Army and Hoseok...
Yoongi, Jimin and Hoseok all listened to them explaining how they were played at the temple and that all of this misunderstanding was a result of the illusions Army's mother warned them of in her diary, They were all shocked to see Army not reacting at all as if she already knew all of this, Which was right honestly...
So know we have the emperor trying to think of a way to apologize to his lover while going through some of his duties as an emperor, Namjoon and Seokjin working on some more codes from the diary in hope of solving this mystery, Army with Jungkook and Jimin trying to locate Tae through magic, And Hoseok leading some of the emperor's forces to head to that temple in hope of finding any clue or hint about this puzzle.
"Anything new Army-ah?", She stayed still for some seconds trying to take her breath, then pouted sadly at Jimin and shook her head, Jungkook placed his head between his hands and sighed, Jimin and Army glanced worriedly at him before Jimin started rubbing his back softly and Army was about to continue searching again.
Jungkook grabbed her hands stopping her, "Wha-", "Take some rest Army", "But we nee-", "I'm gonna go look for him...excuse me", With that he left..
Jungkook was terrified, he could only imagine how is Tae right now, with a possible broken shoulder and a broken heart, How could he.... How could he hurt Taehyung like this.. He was the one to fight with the orphanage's kids when they bully Tae, he was the one to rub away his tears, he was the one to hold him and be held by him through it all...
And he dared to lay a finger on him..
Jungkook stood in the middle of the forest staring at his feet with tears blocking his sight, his shoulders shook with sadness and regret and he can feel his heart beating with pain and longing, He wants Tae... He needs him in his arms right fucking no-.
"Damn your soul looks even darker than my shadows".
He froze, eyes going wide, body tensed and not even daring to turn around, Be heard a sigh and a couple of footsteps then a hand on his shoulder, he gasped silently and closed his eyes tightly preparing himself for a whole blaming lecture, Maybe a slap or two..
"Relax...I met Hoseok hyung at the temple and he explained everything", Jungkook still can't believe his ears, he wants Taehyung to slap him, punch him or even break his shoulder like he did to him, "Kookie...", And that...broke the earth bender..
He turned around taking Tae into his arms in a crushing hug ignoring the groan of pain, he sobbed into his shoulder shaking and gasping and all that Tae could do was to just rub his lover's back and peck his temple, "It's okay...we are okay", Jungkook shook his head with hiccups, "It's n-not o-o-okay!! I h-hurt you!", Taehyung took his long black hair between his finger making him face him pecking his lips a couple of times to calm him down.
Taehyung smiled at Jungkook's pouty red face and sighed, "Hoseok hyung is already on his way back to the castle....let's go so that Army and Jimin can help my shoulder better ... I've a lot of shit to tell you all".....

"I can't believe you found the damned key all alone!", Taehyung chuckled at Jimin then scrunched his nose in pain as Army and Jin attended to his shoulder, "It was under a candle in the middle of the temple, I don't know how we didn't see it before", "Why did you search under a candle in the first place?", Taehyung didn't answer Hoseok and stared ahead of him silently, "Taehyung-ah?" He looked up and stared at Jimin then sighed again.
"I don't know if you guys gonna believe me or not but I...heard a voice whispering for me to go search there", They all stared at him in a mix of confusion and doubt, Army didn't look at him but she started frowning deeply thinking, "You...heard a voice?", "Yes...right after I talked with Hoseok hyung and understood everything".
"That wasn't a sound....it was a spirit", They turned to Army in horror, "S-spirit?", Taehyung stuttered and waited for an explanation, "Yes Tae oppa...a spirit", She turned to Yoongi and asked him, "Didn't you mention that there was two boys who fell in love with the same girl and one of them killed the other to have the girl for himself?", The emperor nodded and they all tried to connect the dots to whatever Army was trying to say.
"So...the two spirits t-talked to me?", "No Tae, I have killed one while we all were in the temple, but I didn't pay much attention to a the detail of two spirits', anyways so you took the flower this, "Okay so ..you killed a spirit...and you listened to another spirit Taetae?", Taehyung nodded while Army smiled, "But why..why now? Why not when we were all together at the temple?"
"Hold your faith tight....",
She turned to Yoongi and smiled, then smiled wider at Kook and Tae, "The spirit that helped us was the one who was killed among the two, the spirit can only help us when the last one of us believed, cared, apologized and held his faith after the illusions, so...he was the one to receive the key", She turned and nodded at Tae making him bow at her then smile as Kook hugged him and secretly pecked his neck.
One more key found....
