Just a little more, Tzuyu. Please.
Yuzu grabbed Sana's hand as she flashed out crystal barriers onto Seulgi's attempt
:
"UGH!! GET THEM!"
:
"We have to help!"
:
"Im behind you."
Nayeon and Jeongyeon began to move towards Yuzu and Sana.
:
"You better explain after this fight!" she scowled
Yuzu nodded as she turned around to Sana slightly grabbing her hand
:
"I'm sorry.. if i wanted you to myself."
:
"What?"
:
"WATCH OUT!"
*Boom*
:
"Jeongyeon!"
:
"I got this! Go! Now!"
:
"NO! You go! We'll handle her!"
:
"What?!"
:
"Let's go!"
:
"No!"
:
"Jeongyeon.. She also wants you! now go!"
:
"But!"
A shadow had launched towards Jeongyeon, but was immediately blocked by Jaznaia.
:
"I got this— Tadao!"
Tadao came running through as he blasted a strong gust of wind towards Jeongyeon, Pushing her and the others away from the fight
:
"NO! GET THEM!"
Sneha launched above, blocking Seulgi's attempt to chase after them followed by a few of her army.
:
"Im right behind you"
:
"Me too."
They smiled and gritted their teeth as Seulgi's eyes flared in red.
:
"What pity little creatures!" she smirked as a loud explosion is heard from their area
:
"NO!" as she sees the huge explosion above the dark red sky
:
"Let's go!"
:
"It'll be fine"
They continued running, without looking back from the scene.
They got into a place that is dark and abandoned, as the floors crackled beneath them with no signs of Lava.
:
"This is the pedestal isnt it?"
:
"looks like it.— but it's not activated"
:
"Hey guys, let's hide in here." She pointed over a dark hole which looks like six feet deep under
:
"I dont think it's safe in there"
:
"We can't be out in the open."

The gang continued to converse about holding into a good plan, as Hyun and Youngchae found their sister at the corner alone
:
"Well?" Everyone saw this as they quickly turned towards Yuzu under the red bloody sky
:
"I'm sorry unnie"
:
"What did you give up Yuzu.."
:
"Geeze.. I did not know i already died" she sighed as she plopped herself onto the old building corner beside Yuzu
"and to think.. I had a great life being alive all this time" she chuckled
:
"I am sorry"
:
"You.. should have killed us." she monotonously uttered
:
"Youngchae!"
:
"It's true. You brought me.. back to life.. Just so i could enslave myself with humans!"
:
"Stop! and let her speak."
:
"What for? Kill us all over again? Who cares what she gave up! I AM KILLING MYSELF!"
:
"YOUNGCHAE!"
:
"WHAT?! Unnie! All we do is hide, try to be normal, try to save ourselves from death.. when we dont even exist in the first place! I DONT EXIST!!"
:
"YOU DO!"
:
"Ha! sure!"
:
"You exist Youngchae.. You only died.. because of me."
:
"Yuzu"
:
"Im afraid what she says is true.."
:
"Then! Why am i still here! WHAT DID YOU TRADE!"

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
