Hyunjin's eyes flashed a light pink as he looked up from the spot he was curled up at. He had recently sent a message to Jeonghan, informing him about what had happened and telling him about the conditions they were in.
Luckily enough, they were able to get San stabilized enough while they waited for a response. All they needed to know is if it was safe to enter the terrain.
However, they haven't received a response in two days. San was starting to get an infection and had even started running a fever. The poor boy had shifted back to his hybrid form, making him even more vulnerable to his injuries.
The golden dragon let out a small whimper in worry before twig snapping caught his attention. Growling slightly as he glanced and saw Dino also looking up with a snarl spread across his face.
That was, until a small jingle sounded which made both dragons pause and tilt their heads.
A pretty, long haired black and golden calico cat appeared out of the bushes. Soaking wet of course, and if it wasn't for the small wash off the puddle gave the little creature, it would've looked like a mud pie.
Hyunjin squinted slightly, staring intensely at the collar and noticing a large bow resting on the cat's neck and two bells jingling as it walked up hissing random things at the three dragons.
" Uh...we can't understand you..sorry.. " Dino spoke, nervously looking at the cat.
The little creature seemed to understand and rolled it's eyes before shifting into a hybrid form with an angry look.
The collar remained around the boy's neck, however, unlike most hybrid forms, only a tail remained. A thin tail with a fluffy, feather like edge towards the end.
A shapeshifter.
" How in the everlasting WORLD did you three fall from the clouds? Are you little creatures not being careful? You can sense danger for the star's sake! How did this happen?! " The shifter yelled, crossing his arms and looking at the three dragons, two of which bowing their heads at being scolded.
" You didn't even recognize me! Something's clearly wrong with you creatures. " The boy continued, though he wasn't actually much older than them.
" You can yell at us all you want, Yeosang, but please...we need help with San. " Hyunjin mumbled, seeing as Yeosang's eyes widened at the sight of the limp, lifeless prince.
" Oh my stars! " Yeosang gasped, running towards the prince. Though he accidentally shifted into his cat form on the way there and stumbled when he made it to San's side.
Hyunjin winced as small, worried meows sounded from the cat as the shifter nudged the limp boy with his head.
Both knew that Yeosang, no matter how mean he could be, had a soft spot for San. It was obvious that they cared for each other.
We need to get him to Jeonghan's. I don't care if the creatures in the terrain dislike your kind, San is on the verge of death and Jeong's our only chance.
Yeosang's meow pierced through their thoughts, making both nod hesitantly.
The small animal scrambled out of the shaded area and into the bushes before reappearing with a letter.
Read it when you get to Jeong's. For now, let's head out.
The cat meowed again, fluffy tail swaying as the bright green eyes glowed in the darkness of the area. Guiding them towards the terrain, they tried to reach their only hope at saving the almost lifeless boy.
𓆉. 𓆉. 𓆉.
" Felix! I need help really quick! " Jeonghan's voice pierced through the loudness of the cabin area.
Pretty soon, a fairy boy made his way down from one of the trees with a bright smile on his face. Light blue wings fluttering as he stood in front of the elder.
" Can you make some dinner for the others? I know it'll be a lot but maybe just some soup should be fine. " Jeonghan asked, smiling when Felix nodded and quietly flew off towards the cafeteria area.
Jeonghan started walking down the trail again, looking for specific plants for healing and witchcrafts
Well, until he was knocked off his own feet.
" Sorry Jeonghan! " A soft voice sounded, followed by a much smaller ' sorry ' from the partner in crime.
Two dragon-like creatures were wagging their tails in front of him, sheepish looks on their faces.
The oldest could never understand how beautiful these creatures looked. Their upper bodies consisted of soft fur, yet their lower body crystal like rocks.
They were relatively small and skinny, but their crystal bodies didn't stop them from being some of the best acrobats in the camp area.
They made for quite the sneaky couple.
" Minghao, Junhui, a nice surprise to see you two roaming about. What's the rush? " Jeonghan hummed, the boy's golden eyes clouding with confusion.
" Yeosang sent us a telepathic message asking for help towards the entrance. He asked you to be present because of injuries. Assuming that he found survivors from the dragon war, we tried to find you as quick as we could...and we did- " Junhui explained with a quick bark, crystal tail wagging as his boyfriend nodded.
Minghao was never one to speak a lot.
" Alright, thank you for the information. Can you take over herb hunting for me? I'll treat you to some extra soup if you collect more than 30. " Jeonghan nodded and smiled when the two boys nodded and scampered off.
The eldest sighed, shifting into a beautiful nine tailed fox as he sprinted towards the entrance.
A crowd had already formed and Jeonghan could tell it was not good. He could see hackles rising on creature's backs, snarls displayed across some of their faces. However, he could also see worry and fear shown on some.
Pushing his way through the crowd with a small hiss of something incoherent, he finally stood tall in front of the tiny figure in front of him and three dragons not far off behind.
The cat was panting, obviously running from something which made Jeonghan worry. Glancing further off, he could see two dragons standing protectively over a small body of the boy in his hybrid form.
Jeonghan....
The mentioned boy turned his worried gaze back to Yeosang who coughed slightly, still out of breathe.
He's dying. You have to help us...
