‘Cuenta la historia de un mago que un día en su bosque encantado lloró’
Thanks to the blessing of the God of Hope, Cale was born as a powerful wizard. To the point that his mana was compared to that of a dragon.
‘Porque a pesar de su magia no había podido encontrar el amor...'
But thanks to that, his entire family died in the war against the first White Star.
Because of his grief, he hid and never showed himself in Roan's Kingdom again.
'La Luna, su única amiga, le daba las fuerzas para soportar todo el dolor que sintió por culpa de su tan larga soledad.'
He only left his castle to search for the fruits of the world tree, which regulated his mana and increased the hope of his boring life.
‘Y es que él sabía muy bien que en su existir, nunca podría salir de su destino.’
Since the God of Hope, apparently was very determined to keep him alive.
‘¡Si alguien te tiene que hablar, ya lo sabrás! Solo hay que saber, reconocerlo’
Years later, he understood why.
‘Cuando una tarde que el mago paseando en el bosque, su vista cruzó...'
One afternoon, an unusual group came to his castle.
A normal human without mana and a baby dragon? Cale never thought he would meet such a thing. Less considering that the human not only had a baby dragon as a companion.
He was also accompanied by an elf, a swordmaster and a female mage. Cale raised an eyebrow, looking at all of them.
He could only recognize an elf, who used to heal an ancient dragon that was near the end of its lifespan.
"Hey! I am the great and mighty Raon Miru, he is the human! “He pointed his paw at the shorter Black-Haired, who was hiding behind a sword master. “And-”
Cale interrupted the dragon and looked at the elf in annoyance. "What happened, Endrick?"
The elf quickly began to explain. And Raon pouted.
An organization called Arm attacked the elf village that was on the 10 finger mountain. And they were the ones who helped them get rid of the organization.
They had also already warned the dragon Eruhaben.
“So you want me to put a protection spell on the village?” Cale ask, the elf assent.
“And you all?” Cale looked at the humans and the dragon. The shorter black-haired man finally looked at him.
‘Con la más dulce mirada que nunca en su vida jamás conoció...'
Cale was met with the sweetest gaze, that in his life he had never met.
"I want to ask you about the ancient times."
"… Of course. Ask everything you want… "
‘Human, the wizard is acting weird!' Raon exclaimed in Rok Soo's head.
‘Desde ese mismo momento el hada y el mago quisieron estar… solos los dos en el bosque amándose siempre y en todo lugar...'
Cale decided that following that boy wouldn't be that much of a problem. And after a while that interest would disappear. And he left.
Wrong. . .
▬▱▬▱▬▱▬▱▬▱
Choi Han frowned upon discovering the wizard, even older than himself, following Rok Soo like a dog seeking his master's affection.
And he did not notice it. Cale was so obvious that even Raon, On and Hong told Ron about it! But Rok Soo was as dense as a rock and he did not notice it.
The only thing for which he endured that wizard, was because his power and knowledge were fundamental.
Like now...
Raon had entered his first phase of growth. And Eruhaben did not answer the calls. Rosalyn and Rok Soo could not think of anyone but him to take care of Raon.
“The dragons have to fight their future version in their first phase of growth. He won't be able to wake up until he win the fight. He can't use magic either." The redhead explained to Rok Soo, who was looking at Raon.
“Do you think that half-blood dragon will come? I wish I knew him…” Cale suddenly changed the subject, a terrifying look on his face, which Rok Soo didn't see.
Rok Soo actually never noticed that look when the battle happened in the Henituse territory and he was injured.
Not did he when Cale found out that the heir to the Lion Tribe had mocked him. He never actually did.
Choi Han now knew, that the battle at death's throat was going to be a piece of cake. Because Cale was angry after finding out that that bastard promised to kill Rok Soo.
But Rok Soo prioritizes Raon's security and Cale left to take care of him in the castle.
Now, Rok Soo would die in 3 days if he didn't find a water power ancient.
Cale was furious.
▬▱▬▱▬▱▬▱▬▱
Cale bit his lip hard. He was feeling more pain in his chest from seeing Rok Soo cry than from his physical pain.
His mana could not help him or ease his pain, so he could only watch it. He could only watch Rok Soo cry.
He stroked Raon's head, in an attempt to calm down. the baby dragon was on the bed, He was cleaning the blood on Rok Soo's mouth.
“Human are you awake? I'll tell you, weak human... My attribute is the present.” Raon said to both of them, snuggling closer to Rok Soo.
Cale decided to say something too.
“Rok Soo… I know you hear me… Wake up soon… I don't want to lose you too…”
Cale had to wait hours. And only after dawn, Rok Soo woke up. So weak that Cale had to help him sit up on the bed.
“Stupid bastard… why didn't you call me? Why didn't you tell me that he appeared instead of using your ancient powers?” Rok Soo seemed to be about to open his mouth, but Cale placed his index finger on the younger's bloody lips.
“You are very smart for war, but you are the dumbest person I have ever met. Why? Don't you notice that I'm in love with you, bastard?” Cale's jaw clenched, looking in pure annoyance at the bloodied and still sore boy.
It gave him total equal that he could not answer him. Cale just wanted to vent.
“Do you know how scared I was when I realized you only had 3 days to live if you didn't find this power? What if Eruhaben hadn't found that diary!? You would have died! And I... I..." Cale couldn't continue. Cale then removed his hand from Rok Soo's face and left the room.
He was going to have a glass of water and find some food for the black-haired man.
Rok Soo, only stared at the redhead's back. Not quite sure what to say or do. The only thing that brought him out of Shock was Raon's breathing.
They were both exhausted. Rok Soo's mouth was so dry and his throat so sore that even if he had thought of something to say to Cale, he couldn't have said it.
But the redhead came back, with a pile of plates of food and a pitcher of water.
"You're hungry, right? You always wake up starving..." Cale carefully removed Raon from Rok Soo's lap and settled him on the bed, on top of a pillow.
Afterwards, he carefully carried Rok Soo, with such gentleness and care that Rok Soo wondered if it was because he had already confessed or because he never realized it until now.
“Rok Soo. I don't care if you still don't reciprocate my feelings... But, don't even think about leaving me.” His gaze turned icy. But contrary to his gaze, Cale grabbed a damp handkerchief and began to softly wipe the blood off Rok Soo's face, and then from his neck.
Rok Soo just started to eat. Cale's actions strangely didn't bother him. The wizard notice that.
"But... I think they are reciprocated even though you still don't realize it"
Cale set the dirty handkerchief on the table, away from the food.
Rok Soo froze when he felt a soft touch on his lips.
“I can wait a bit for that... But” Cale gently took Rok Soo's hands.
The black-haired man immediately panicked when the redhead brought his hands up to his lips and kissed them.
Yet, he doesn't take his hands off the redhead's lips. Now, with a look as sweet as honey, Cale looked him in the eye, both faces flushed, but with different expressions.
"You see? You too…” the redhead smiles, his smile as bright as the sun. Another kiss, this time on the ring finger of his left hand.
Rok Soo feels his face burn. He knows Cale won't go on if he makes even the slightest attempt to take his hand off him.
But why does he only bring his left hand closer to Cale's cheek?
"Yes me too..."
