Timeline: George of death battle.
The Gorge of Death.
Many people had been stationed at different spots on the long and dangerous gorge ever since a few days ago. They were using magic in order to stealthily hide their movements.
Cale headed back to the tent with Rosalyn and the other leaders and passed by Lock, who was standing behind him. CHoi Han was with him assisting in all sorts of work.
Everyone was busy taking care of things and preparations of the battle was on full swing.
Just a day was remaining for the battle.
Everyone gathered round the bonfire as it was pretty chill at the night.
They were talking and strategizing. It was well enough to say that it was an atmosphere filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle.
In midst of it, someone said that they heard that Commander Cale had a nice ritual before the war.
Cale could feel trouble looming over his head.
Choi Han told the group that Cale nim had once sang a song before the Henituse territory battle.
Everyone was shocked to know that Commander Cale could sing! They pressured Cale in sing just one song as a good luck for the victory of this war.
Cale just couldn't refuse. But he cleared that there was no such ritual that he followed and that this would be that last song he sang in public.
Everyone perked up as they heard Cale clear his throat as an attention attracting gesture.
Cale couldn't guess why there was that instrument from before doing here in the middle of the wa. But oh well..
He strum the chords and looked around. Everyone was chatting, laughing and not making him uncomfortable or was it just a illusion? Well whatever.

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
Choi Han remembered his days in the forest of darkness. It was truly a merciless horrible time.
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
Rosalyn could tell that it was better off with her being the future monarch of the Breck kingdom. She could tell where it started, her love and fascination for magic. Today her dream was to be the magic tower master/ strongest archmage.
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Everyone felt a little embarrassed at this point. They never thought that young lad like Cale could lead kingdoms and huge armies. They did think that he was just dreaming big and was nothing special in particular. Well now their demeanor has surely changed. They won't listen to anyone's orders other than Commander Cale's.
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
Everyone was mesmerised by the sweet tune and words that come out of Cale's mouth.
They just couldn't stop looking at him.
Such a beautiful song!
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
Lock felt emotionally unstable as he heard that. He was yet young and naive. He couldn't go berserk and help young master cale. He was feeling guilty all over again.
Even though Cale wouldn't say anything about it, Lock was very anxious about their dinner after this, tonight. Young master had personally called him to dine with him after seeing how pale and thin he looked. Lock liked the feeling of being worried on about by someone. It reminded him that he had a family.
This was particularly why he can't fail his guardian.
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
Yes, unfortunately the Heros were very young and lost.
They didn't have much experience but it all made it up to their strength and power and wisdom. So, it was okay.
It was okay to let them fight the battle. It was okay to make them bear all the burden.
What a fucked up world.
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
This weak human just had two hands. Even then he carries every one along with him to make them learn how to grow their strength. He takes care of us. He is my family. He takes care of me. I will not allow anyone to harm my human ever! Raon was thinking as he laid beside Cale in his invisible form.
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
Cale's group knew the rumours about him how he was trash. No they could see how he had changed because the real trash was not him but the people around him who just didn't let him grow. What troubles and burdens did young master Cale must have beared!
'Hope that this war would end faster so that Commander nim could rest properly.' - these were the thought of just mere knights and soldiers who didn't even knew Cale. But they definitely knew that he was someone so young and strong minded wise individual who wouldn't let his people, his kingdom's people fall in despair.
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
Yes, please. Let this war bring eternal peace.
Well at least peace for few decades. That much was given.
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know,
I didn't know,
I didn't know
They will win the war. Because thy were strong. And also because they had Cale Henituse.
