"Sister is this mask suitable?" a boy wearing a weird green mask peered out from behind the curtain of a dressing room

 

His sister setting in a white sofa reading a book, she lift her head looking to the boy "well the color is green that not suitable for a prince Baekhyun"

 

Taking off his ugly mask he looks at it with a sad expression Baekhyun said "what about the outfit “Jun Ji-hyun’aa"!?"

 

Ji-hyun smile to him "it’s bad"

 

Baekhyun puffing his cheeks and throw the mask on the ground "my servant doesn’t have a good taste, I told my father not to let him choose for me even if he is almost 24 hours with me he doesn’t know my likings! Really…..green!! I hate it!! Hate it!! I want to choose my outfit for the masquerade tomorrow night

 

Ji-hyun turn the page in the book she had on her hands "trust me little brother, I know your servant he is a little bit stupid in those things you should give him instruction about what you want"

 

Baekhyun throw the green ugly mask on the floor with anger "OR...am going out myself"

 

Ji-hyun looks at him thinking about it "dad won’t accept that…you need a lot of preparation to go out of the castle, you should declare the place and call the guards to clean it, and then prepare your bodyguards"

 

Baekhyun now roll his eyes "when you said 'clean it' it looks like clean it from dust not from PEOPLE???"

 

"It’s for your own good"

 

But her little brother insist "am going out without his permission! no one will know me anyway because none saw me before!!!"

 

Ji-hyun seriouse expression now was on "I won’t let you!"

 

"yaa!!! Jun Ji-hyun???"

 

Ji-hyun angrily screamed "Byun Baekhyun!!!"

 

Seeing his big sister screaming like that Baekhyun take a back "But the citizens hate me because of that!" Ji-hyun shake her head a no "no they don’t…they know it’s for your safety you know that you’re the only one still carrying the future of this kingdom"

 

Baekhyun look at the green mask on the floor "no you’re the future queen! You’re the one carrying their future sister! Not me" with that he saw her standing from her seat she approached him putting her hand on his shoulder "maybe I ‘am the future queen! But you know that you’re the last one who have the light power…if you die the barriers will disappear…then what future will be waiting for us?"

 

With a sad expression he left the mask taking a deep breath "I guess am calling my servant he should go and buy something else! if he chooses wrong this time I will exile him to the mountain village"

 

Ji-hyun smile show up on her face "that’s my boy"

 

He headed to the changing room but stops and the mask fell off from his hands

 

Ji-hyun looks concern at him "Baekhyun’aah?? What’s wrong?"

 

Baekhyun looking frightened he turned to his sister "some...Someone has just passed through our barriers!"

 

Ji-hyun now was in shock not knowing what to do it the first time "wh..?...what?...how do you know??" asking a stupid question Baekhyun screamed her name "JI-HYUN????" for her to move quickly and yes she did, she startled but start to say "yes...yes…the whistle…Baekhyun stay in the room…don’t go out and tell your servant to call Zeus” she ordered running out from the room screaming the word “GUARDS”

 

Baekhyun think about it for a moment "this power...fire?!!" he said full of doubts then goes into his dressing room taking a black long hood from it "sorry sister!...but am already going out"

 

 

 

>>> After a couple of hours – at the Arena <<<

 

 

 

 

the king stand up...and the warrior...said in surprise..."Zeus"

 

Spinning the spear and then digging it into the ground with a loud thud, making the two tigers retread then he kneeled on his left knee saying..."My Lord!" his voice was a bit strange and rough like it was clearly a fake tone all the crowds look to their king who is now standing from his seat, seeing his standing they all kneeled too leaving Chanyeol the only one still standing and looking very surprised and shocked expression not to the king but to his to his savior

 

The king speaks "Zeus! It’s very rare from you to interfere in the arena business"

 

"yes my lord" the one they called Zeus said

 

"I believe you have a good reason to not letting us killing the intruder to our peace?"

 

"yes my lord"

 

The king kept silence for moment "okay then! bring him to the judgment room"

 

"yes my lord" he replied and stand up looking at the king leaving the Arena – the people also start to stand up but looking to the three in the Arena

 

Rengar moves closer to the two "Zeus? You ruined MY glory in front of the king" he said with anger hating what just happened because he stopped his spear with one single move

 

The one called Zeus didn't even say a word he just turn his head a little to Chanyeol direction

 

Chanyeol still can’t see his face he startled "hun…!" not saying any word his mind was screaming -- what?...where is my voice…is it because of the shock?...why am I talking to myself he supposed to be looking at me?...i want to take that big ugly long hood and see his face...wait what am i thinking about at a moment like this? --

 

The warrior now was frustrated "are you ignoring me?" -No answer from Zeus- ... "Zeus?" ... –still no answer- … "fine then you’re here and the crowds are here the award is here too" he said pointing to chanyeol "why don’t we fight here and now and see who’s the best between us"

 

The crowds start murmuring hearing the challenge anticipating what Zeus is going to do

 

the tone of sarcasm in Zeus voice can be noticed from miles away a clear sarcastic smile now was on his face he turn back to the warrior and said "even your tigers retreated? You should be more intelligent no?!"

 

Turning around to see that his tigers are indeed setting near the door that they come out from he was shocked

 

"And please" Zeus continue with confident "if you don’t mind I guess the king is waiting for me now and I don’t want to let him wait much longer"

 

Rengar look at him full of anger "don’t be so arrogant Zeus I will bring you down someday and I will have no mercy"

 

"in that time I will be glad to fight with you not against you"

 

a smile crept on Rengar face "then...till another encounter" with that he left the Arena leaving just the two

 

Zeus turning around back to Chanyeol who was sure that he is avoiding looking straight to him "we should go the king is waiting"

 

Chanyeol not finding his voice he just nodded a yes with his head

 

Zeus grabbed the spear from the ground breaking the chains then headed to the main door of the arena, chanyeol look at his hands he start to feel his powers moving throw his veins like they were really absorb he look at where the other then start following him hearing the crowd saying the word “Zeus” repeatedly

 

Zeus…Zeus…Zeus…Zeus...

 

 

>>> Inside <<<

 

 

The place was full of corridors and status of warriors it was calm but the calm that brings loneliness, they walk a little till they reach a big door with the same symbol at the arena

 

He saw that Zeus stopping then moving his hand a little to his direction "are you still in shock?"

 

Chanyeol stopping in his track he looks back to the guy in front of him -- say no you idiot mouth…say no…say no…-- his mind was screaming to him

 

"i think you are" he heard the other saying but what came out of his mouth even him didn't expect that

 

Chanyeol said with  his deep voice "you are short!"

 

Zeus who was now confused "w…wha…excuse me?"

 

Chanyeol smiled leaning forward locking hights with the short one "can I see your face?"

 

Zeus stepping aside and turn the maximum out of the way, then he opens the door revealing a fancy hall with a long line of guards in alert leading to the king’s seat he entered and Chanyeol smiled to how is he shy to show his face to him, he followed him inside and saw him seeing the king and kneeling again

 

The king looks at him with "stand up and come closer Zeus you have the right to speak and explain your actions"

 

"yes my lord" he stand up and get closer but Chanyeol notice that he is avoiding to see directly to the king too

 

The king take a notice immediately seeing Chanyeol "I see that you removed the chains is he powerless?"

 

"no my lord" hearing the answer the guards stand by, revealing their weapons

 

Chanyeol left his hands with "woo…wooh am not hurting anyone" but when he lift his hands the guard step forward "okay…easy…guys.."

 

"my lord" Zeus said "I interfere in the arena by the prince orders"

 

The king was surprised "my son? Ooh! I should have expect that after all you are his personal bodyguard"

 

Chanyeol repeated "the prince?"

 

"the prince said that one of the fire nations passed the barriers"

 

The king now has a wondering expression "but he had been found near to the border between us and the water kingdom? And even so he should be punished"

 

Chanyeol look at Zeus "how did he know?"

 

The king looks at Chanyeol "so you’re indeed from the fire nation? That means your punishment should be worse"

 

Chanyeol raising his eyebrow he hated it  a little bit because what his people do to him to get the worse "why?" he asked but that Zeus was the one speaking "my lord…I agree that he should have a much worse punishment"

 

The king said proudly "I agreed"

 

Chanyeol said with a low voice gritting his teeth "are you with me or against me?"

 

Zeus ignored him and continue what he wanted to say "but my lord his not a common man if we killed him we will bring war to our nation"

 

"what that supposed to mean Zeus?"

 

"his the prince of the fire kingdom my lord" the dclaration he did made everyone get shocked even The king stands up from his seat in shocked "what?"

 

Chanyeol who was now confused "how??...how he knew that??"

 

The king now was looking to chanyeol "are you Park Chanyeol?" hearing his name being called like it known "hum?!!..How you know my name?"

 

"Show me the fire royal mark!" the king ordered

 

Chanyeol doesn't understand anything "how did you know about that also??" Then he revealed his left arm showing a red tattoo looking like a phoenix

 

The king smiled "indeed it you" now he had relieved expression "glad for your interfere Zeus I should thanks my son after…and for you fire prince you should have been said that from the beginning we apologize for our misunderstanding" with a single sing to the guards from the king they pull back their weapons

 

Chanyeol with a smile he answered "apologize accepted"

 

The king nodded "we will sent a message to the water kingdom to open the barriers from their side for you to pass thru and prepare an for you because we are having in the light kingdom just one specific point could be  opened in the water kingdom side and it will take some hours for you to arrive at…if you accept my invitation to the castle till your be ready and our servants will keep your company"

 

Chanyeol bow a little "gladly"

 

Seeing everything fine Zeus speaks "my lord I should take my leave now"

 

The king smiled "yes...yes...you have the permission"

 

Passing by Chanyeol the later grabbed Zeus wrist with a smirk in his face, Zeus stopped in his track with the action "hun..?"

 

Chanyeol looking to the king he asked "but I want him to me to the border"

 

Zeus said in shock "what?"

 

The king smiled to the two in front of him "if it a condition you got that"
