Once again Cale Henistuse is the center of the war. He’s the conductor, percussion, wind, the whole orchestra. He's the center of everything and it’s all going his way.
“Is it me or is the fog getting thicker?”Â
As usual, poison and fog were one of their aces. Hence why the two cat tribe children are working for their food. But the fog was getting heavier compared to what they agreed to do a few days ago.
[HUMAN! HUMAN! SOMETHING’S WRONG!]
Although Raon was speaking in Cale’s head he could still hear how tired the dragon is from flying super fast to where he is. He was supposed to ask what’s the rush but the next words he hears made him stop in his tracks, no he felt as if his whole world stopped.
[__- it, it’s __! She’s hurt! Badly! On said one of the lion tribe clawed her badly! Human please you have to go to her, you’re nearer than the saint!]
The baby dragon’s sobs fell deaf on the man's ears. All he could think about was how he might’ve become too cocky and low-key, expecting that there won’t be any dire casualties once again.
The commander with red blood hair felt lost. He knows what to do, his experience as team leader Kim Rook Soo made him knowledgeable about these things. He’s desensitized, he's supposed to be desensitized.
But no, instead his mind was frozen. Cale’s body might be moving and fighting but his mind was blank. The only thing occupying it was a record of that dreaded day when he became team leader. A record that he wants to forget but can’t and won’t. The record that pulls itself out of the records.
Luckily, Alberu Crossman was near him. Someone who has seen his Kim Rok Soo side was there to wake him up.
“Go”
One word whispered between the sworn brothers was enough.Â
That one word was enough to send Cale bolting to where ___ is. He was determined to keep her alive, to let nothing happen to her. He already made so many mistakes as Kim Rok Soo that resulted in him losing a lot. But he promised to himself that this time- this time will be different.
