Once Taehyung woke up, he found himself laying on a fluffy mattress, surrounded in pillows and the most comfiest blankets yet he pushed all of the comfort away to sit up properly, immediately looking around and searching the location for any sign of his captor. His heart was pounding in his chest yet the little god of flowers ignored the panic raging inside of him.

He had to get out of the room and far away from Hades as fast as possible. Taehyung couldn't believe what Morpheus has told him and he didn't want to, he wanted answers, answers only his father could give him and to reach for him, Taehyung had to get out of the underworld.

But how? He was scared to do so, the golden band around his wrist glowing as if it knew about his upcoming doing, making him even more scared. But this couldn't stop him either, not when he heard such things about his family that he couldn't believe were true.

It couldn't be, yet it made so much sense. Why his father was so persistent in keeping his Dad and him safe and away from everything, living safely in the forest and away from Olympus. Taehyung has believed it was because Jimin, Namjoon's wife hated his Dad but turned out that Namjoon only kept them away because he was afraid of a prophecy.

A prophecy that was about to be fulfilled.

But Taehyung was scared, this destiny was scaring him and he actually didn't want to end up as the wife of the god of the underworld, not when his entire being yearned to be outside in the sunlight and surrounded by flowers, his birth right.

If he was to live without nature, there for sure were going to be consequences for the young god, especially since he was bounded to nature. And his Dad, loving Seokjin who was never once separated from his son, how will he react of his absence, so forcefully pulled away from him he didn't have a single chance to protest?

No, Taehyung wasn't going to stay and let a forced destiny rule upon him, not when there was the slightest chance in changing his destiny for good and returning back home. He didn't want to be the key to his father's downfall, not when he loved his father so dearly and wished to become a little family again.

This hope was little, Taehyung wanted every member of his family to be happy and he counted Jimin to them as well, the male being nothing but loving and friendly towards him, even with the wrong intentions but Taehyung knew that Jimin's heart was pure.

Taehyung now even understood why his father has engaged him to Jung Hoseok, his dear childhood friend yet he felt bad knowing of the elder's feelings for him. Seemed like Namjoon used everyone just so the prophecy wouldn't be fulfilled.

But no one could stop fate, not even the powerful god of thunder and King of Olympus.

No one could stop the Moirai, the fates, in their planning and now all of them were going to pay the price for it.

°°°

Taehyung didn't know if the corridors were supposed to be halfway empty yet he didn't care for it as long as he found a way out of this forsaken palace. So he grabbed his long shirt to properly run, not paying attention to the screaming souls outside the windows, only searching for a possible way out.

He heard the screams, heard the lost souls begging for mercy, their screeching filling his ears to the brim and making him dizzy, scared even because he feared that once he was caught, he would be thrown to even these souls. "I'm not destined to be with him", the little god of flowers huffed out annoyed, mocking the golden band around his wrist with sticking his tongue out to it.

His feet carried him around a corner and Taehyung squealed once he realized that there really was no one in the hallway leading outside. It was the same hallway he has entered on his first visit here, when Jeongguk has first brought him here and Taehyung happily squealed again before making a run for it.

Persephone heard rumors coming from the way he has chosen before and Taehyung's breath anxiously hitched before aiming for the heavy wooden doors. But before his hand could even reach the door knob, he heard growling coming from behind him.

He turned around and his lips left a scream when he was met with the sight of a horrific creature nearing him, muzzle hanging open with saliva dripping down to the ground, evil black eyes staring back at the little flower god before barking loudly at Taehyung.

The creature looked like the tortured and disabled form of a dog, a large specimen easily towering over Taehyung, head nearing the height of Taehyung's neck and his teeth as long as Taehyung's little finger, all looking incredibly sharp and threatening.

"Oh by all gods", Taehyung whispered terrified, turning around and trying to unlock the door but they wouldn't budge, only creating a high screeching which must signal the owner of the palace that someone tried escaping who wasn't allowed to.

Taehyung started to cry when the dog moved closer, sobbing hysterically because this was not how he expected to die, not in the underworld and not from a sort of demon dog who didn't allow him to move.

But the creature only bared his teeth at the petit male who sobbed uncontrollably, tears running down his small face and creating traces of fear. The hound, it clearly was nothing but a horrific hell hound, growled even louder when Taehyung wouldn't let go of the door knob so the raven released the grip.

He stumbled a bit to the side to get away from the creature but it followed him, actually forcing Taehyung back into the hallway and away from the door, howls growing louder when Taehyung neared the entrance again so the little beauty backed away, forced backwards with slow hesitant steps.

This continued until he tried running away again, the creature barking loudly and actually attempting to jump him until he was stopped by a warning voice.

And once Taehyung lifted his head he came in sight with the furious face of his captor Jeon Jeongguk.
