Chapter 25: Death

"Death is the greatest of all human blessings."
                                          -Secrates

The town square was booming with life as the eight of you were all thrown onto the hard, stone ground. You were all positioned on your knees, each of you on display for all the citizens of Pamelia to see.

Nathaniel had called the whole town to the square so they could witness the executions that he had planned for each and everyone of you.

Your stomach churned in fear, and anxiety as you watched a large smile grace Nathaniel's gruff features. He walked across the line, giving a smug smile to each and everyone of you.

You wanted nothing more than to pound in his face right then and there, however the sword held to your throat ceased all actions you may have taken.

Your glowing, blue eyes moved over to glance at Yoongi. The Dragon prince knelt beside of you, his head hanging low as his tangerine gaze remained on the stone ground. His raven locks covering the majority of his face.

You couldn't help but feel guilty. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have come to Pamelia, he wouldn't have gotten his hopes up, and he wouldn't have killed his father.

Your eyes trailed away from the silent prince and toward the crowd of villagers that had gathered around you. A little girl caught your attention, her hair was a soft shade of gold and her eyes were a bright golden color. She stared at you, but the look she gave you was not one of hate, or disgust as all the others were. No, the look she gave you was one of interest and pity.

You tried your best to comfort her, showing her a tight-lipped smile as a way of saying "it's okay." But the young girl continued to stare directly at you.

"People of Pamilia,"

You moved your gaze away from her and back towards the arrogant king who began to speak.

"This day is a day of great turmoil, a day of liars and cheats, a day of immeasurable betrayal, not only to the throne, but to you, the people."

You almost scoffed at his words, your blue eyes rolling in your skull before you continued listening to him.

Nathaniel moved to stand in front of Yoongi. His large hand reaching out and grabbing a handful of his raven locks, pulling him off the stone ground and displaying him to all the people.

Yoongi released a groan of pain, but didn't fight or struggle against the Bear King, and you couldn't help but wonder why.

"This man- This monster has betrayed your trust. You offered him warmth, and shelter and in return he brought a dark curse upon you all!" He announced loudly.

You struggled against the ropes binding your hands as you watch Yoongi grit his teeth in pain as Nathaniel dragged him around by his hair.

"You have been betrayed! You've been taken as fools by a prince you once traded with! A man whom you once called friend."

The villagers began to talk amongst themselves, each of them sending Yoongi glances as they took in Nathaniel's words. Yoongi remained silent, his face set in stone as he watched each of the people converse with one another.

You moved your blue eyes over to look at Jimin, who's golden eyes were already trained on you, worry evident on his features. You offered him a reassuring smile and turned your attention back towards the smiling King.

"This beloved prince has brought a witch to your city."

The crowd gasps. Each of their eyes going wide and their voices getting more anxious and worried as they urged Nathaniel to continue.
