Cale's War

War by Livingston

Cale Henituse, Kim Rok Soo was not one to entertain the idea of singing along to a song. However, that didn't change the many songs he related to, though others would think them sad or depressing he thought "That's how life is". During his life as Kim Rok Soo, before the world went to shit he remembered finding foreign artists that he liked listening to. Their songs were in a way inspirational however they also told the simple truths that many had to live with. Throughout the war and afterwards there were many times when he thought back to those songs especially those he realized applied to many situations he lived through as Cale Henituse. Unfortunately for him, his family didn't share the same understandings of those songs.

When he finally had a chance to rest and have a so called "slacker life" as he called it, it was rudely interrupted when his family returned home from visiting the palace. The kids had wanted to go visit Alberu to get cookies and had gone with Rosalyn and Choi Han who had business at the palace. Ron and Eruhaben were in the Eastern Continent eliminating traces of 'Arm' that had been found planning something to get back at them for destroying their organization, the rest were resting and exploring while they still had the chance. Upon returning, the kids were visibly and very audibly upset at what they had encountered at the palace.

"Human! Lets go loot some bastards!"

"Yeah! Nya! Donsaeng is right! Lets loot them!"

"Cale, nya. Those bastards don't know anything"

Raon had bursted into the room and practically shot himself into Cale's arms. Hong quickly followed behind him with his sister behind him.

"Young master Cale, I believe there are some things we need to talk about"

Rosalyn arrived shortly after the kids with a dark smile that almost resembled Ron's smile when he went to hunt "rabbits".

"Cale-nim! There must be something we can do!"

Choi Han had been the last to enter. He had a deep frown across his face that slowly changed to a pout as his eyes landed on Cale who was now carrying the children in his arms.

-Vicious.

Was all Cale could think as he listened to what the kids said as they rushed in and saw Rosalyn and Choi Han coming in behind them.

"What happened?"

Though it wasn't unusual for Raon and Hong to get upset, the usually level-headed and the observant Rosalyn and On both seemed ready to rip someone to shreds. Choi Han being ready to screw over someone was something Cale thought he wouldn't see again after destroying Arm, no, he thought that looked was now only reserved for the GOD and the World tree after the war.

"They were talking bad about the Cookie Prince! They said he can't be King because they had proof!"

-Wha-?!

"When we arrived at the palace, his highness was in the middle of a meeting. His attendant said it would be ending soon so we waited for him in the hall. While doing so we overheard part of the discussion they were having. Unfortunately, we were not able to listen to everything, his highness seemed very dejected afterwards though he did his best to entertain us while we were there"

"As smart Rosalyn said! Those bastard nobles said some bullshit to make the Cookie Prince sad! We should loot them and give the Cookie prince some Apple pie to cheer him up!"

Rosalyn quickly summarized what had happened for Cale to understand the children's' outburst and Raon stated his plan to help cheer up the crown prince.
