So this... You know, I thought of writing this, but I also had to write another fanfiction. And then writer's block for that one came. And I had to get something that would resume my writing spirit. So this is what I came up with.

The Mask He Puts On

He was our God. Our savior. Of course, that wasn't what he originally was. We thought him cruel. A monster. But he helped us. The ways that Jue Viole Grace had saved us from harm were simple. Yet that was the reason why he was our God. Not from power. But because of the kindness of his heart. Because maybe his heart existed. And maybe he still felt. He wasn't a monster, but human. Like us.

Instance 1: Goseng [Season 2, Chapter 32-35]

She transmitted the location frantically. Viole? In danger? She hadn't known him for very long, but it seemed surprising that anything could endanger him. But Prince's message clearly stated that Viole was in danger. And what were they able to do? How could they help? Nothing. Wangnan had said that Miseng felt useless, but right now, Goseng felt like the useless one. All she could do was transmit their location. She couldn't scout ahead or race after the baby pig. And she certainly wasn't the one in danger.

1.

Goseng entered the path and then started to run towards their destination.

2.

Everyone was still running. That's what they would all do. Goseng ran faster.

"How much time is left?" She heard Wangnan ask.

"Not much! It's coming soon!" She found herself answering.

3.

Was Miseng safe? She should have stayed behind to look after her.

4.

What could endanger a Slayer Candidate like Viole? Sure he was only a regular, but he had a lot of skill. It was hard to wrap her mind around. The invincible God. In danger?

5.

Did Miseng arrive safely?

6.

Who could the person be? And if they were that strong, how come Horyang didn't recognize them?

7.

Faster! She thought, straining for the extra few meters.

8.

She thought she saw a glimpse of Wangnan's blonde hair for a second. Almost there!

9.

An explosion of light. She had reached the end of the tunnel.

10.

Stopping for a moment, Goseng glanced around, seeing the openings of tunnels, much like the one Miseng entered. Was she safe?

In front of her, Viole fell, with a strange guy right after him.

"Alright. You're all here. Now it looks more fun." The guy said.

Where was Miseng? Had she found the creature? The man- is he a man? He looks more like a boy- said something else, but Goseng was glancing around. She saw Wangnan clutching Arkraptor as they fell, Ehwa standing on a ledge, and Horyang and Prince try to intercept, Prince enabled his lighthouse, while Horyang punched. The man broke the lighthouse with a swing, and murmured something to Horyang, as he kicked Horyang towards the wall.

Is he alright? Goseng opened her mouth to ask that, running towards him but found herself frozen on the spot. "Hory-"

"Lord Devil!" Prince screamed as his lighthouse was also destroyed.

Goseng noticed somewhere in her panic stricken mind that Ehwa had attempted to throw fire at him, while Wangnan threw a bomb.

"I... don't really know what's going on! But we have to stop him, right?" Ehwa summoned a big ball of fire, throwing it at the man.

"That's right! We must!" Wangnan threw a bomb, while Arkraptor aimed his umbrella's beam at the man.

The explosion was gaining on him. Goseng noted dully. This should work. Hopefully, Miseng found the creature by now. Just when it seemed like the man would be overpowered, an explosion shook the chamber to the core. Wangnan, Ehwa, and Arkraptor were all thrown back into the tunnels. Meanwhile, Prince stood on the edge, looking horrified at his broken lighthouse and Horyang.

"You're not running away?!" The man grinned, "Alright-! Then I'll show you! The legendary power!" He raised his fist and gathered shinsoo.

"Super!" He raised his fist.

"Flare-!" She heard Viole shout.

Distantly, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Inferno punch!" The man punched

"Wave explosion-!" Viole countered.

At that moment, Miseng jumped towards them, aiming to grab the creature. Right in the middle of their attack.

NO-! Time slowed and Goseng saw the two men turn towards Miseng. She raced towards Miseng, her legs miraculously unfreezing. But she knew it was hopeless. The others were too far away, and only she had the advantage of height, standing on one of the higher entrances.

I need to go faster-! She was exhausted, but it couldn't be helped. Her little sister was in danger. Nothing else mattered. But she knew. The man was much stronger than they thought. If she tried to shield Miseng, both of them could die. But I still have to try! I'll die either way, but if I shield her, she might live! But just as she reached the edge, the power radiating from the men threw her back a couple meters, hitting her head on a rock in the process. Her only hope would be either him or Viole.

Her eyes started to drift shut. It's hopeless. I'm sorry Miseng. I couldn't protect you. I just hope that one of them would help.

It was stupid, and she knew it. In the tower, the weak were used and tossed aside by the strong. And she knew that people saw Miseng as weak. Besides, why would a Slayer Candidate help her? Viole may be a decent person, but it was useless.

The sound of the explosion rocking the place shook her awake for a second. In her blurred state, she turned towards where Miseng had been a while ago, dreading the sight she might see. No. Please don't be dead. She saw blood. She saw Miseng stand, shaking beside the lifeless body of Viole. She saw- Wait! Viole saved her!

Goseng felt like cheering, but then sobered when she thought again. Lifeless? Her eyes were fluttering, but she tried to get up. Catching a glimpse of his eyes opening, then closing. He's alive. She's alive. We're all still alive.

Her eyes fluttered again. And again.

Blackness started enveloped her.

"Vi-e" She heard.

"Strange-expect there-good-though" She heard snippets of what the man was saying. "-ake-lower."

Her eyes opened another time, just enough to see Wangnan mutter, "Ma...zi...no?!

So Viole took a blast from one of the strongest in the tower for Miseng.

Thank you. Viole.

And then she fell unconscious.

Goseng woke up while Horyang was carrying her back.

"Goseng!" Miseng perked up for a moment before slumping again. "Viole-nim got hurt trying to help me."

"Is he alright?" Goseng sat up, forgetting that Horyang was carrying her.

"Omph!" He lifted a hand to rub his nose, which her glasses had hit.

"So-sorry!" She blushed.

Horyang set her down and sighed. "We ended up not being able to do anything as Urek Mazino attacked Viole. Now he's unconscious."

"Oh..." Goseng frowned.

"It's all my fault!" Miseng wailed, "If I hadn't jumped out, Viole-nim would still be safe!"

"No, it's my fault. I should never have let her go chase after the pig." Wangnan seemed down, for a change.

The group all sighed.

"Wait-where is Viole?" Goseng asked.

"Oh...FUG came, and the guy, Jinsung took him back." Arkraptor muttered.

"We had to find Prince before we came back, so we took a bit longer," Horyang added.

The group spent the rest of the walk in silence. Of course, the second they arrived, Miseng raced towards the room Viole was in. Goseng followed shouting, "Miseng, wait! Don't disturb-" She shut up the second she saw him.

Viole's bloody form was still being wrapped up by Jinsung. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have left Miseng to catch the baby Zigena.

"I-is he alright?" Goseng stuttered, "Actually, will he be alright?" What kind of stupid question is that? Of course he's not alright. He got hit by a blast from one of the strongest people in this tower.

"-should be fine." She caught the tail end of Jinsung's speech. Phew! "However, if he wasn't so gifted in healing, he might have died from blood loss."

"W-what?" Goseng asked, paling.

"Nothing." Jinsung turned back to wrapping Viole up.

Meanwhile, Goseng walked out to find the others.

"He's different, huh?" Wangnan sighed. "He saved Miseng by canceling his punch and taking Urek's on, full power."

"He could have died," Goseng whispered. "Our mistake almost cost us his life."

"How can we help now?" Wangnan sighed. "He did everything for us. Paying rent, cooking, cleaning. All that was what he did."

"Alright! I'll cook today!" Prince decided.

"It's fine, I'll cook." Horyang put his hands up.

Goseng turned back. "We were taking advantage of him..." I didn't even realize that.

"But it's Viole. He has to wake up. He has all those creepy healing abilities and stuff!" Wangnan waved his hands around.

Goseng would tell him to joke less, but there was a look of pure helplessness on his face. But what if he doesn't wake up? That was the unsaid question.

What if our God doesn't wake up?

So yeah. It's terrible. The idea seemed better in my head, and the ending was rather rushed. But during that scene, I always wondered where Goseng was? I mean, I know she's a light bearer and does stuff behind the scene, but Prince is also a light bearer, and he participated. So yeah. I changed some bits as well. Anyways, if you want me to do more scenes, comment the chapter and characters and I'll try to write it. I mainly wrote this because there are so little ToG fanfictions.

Anyways, please tell me how to improve. And avoid the 'update soon' comments. Those make me panicked.
