The Song In My Heart

Dancing with Corpses

A.N: Another Au, this chapter has some love for Mary (cause she's too innocent for the world.)... Kind of unhinged KRS?

Kim Rok Soo expected many things, waking up and finding a handsome red-head in Old European style clothing was not one of them.

Yet here he was doing exactly that.

Kim Rok Soo simply stared at Cale Henituse and noted some very huge changes from their last meeting.

The red-head was about twenty-two and didn't look a day over sixteen.

This was partly due to becoming malnourished after running away from Henituse Territory.

Dark circles were made clear underneath his eyes, dark red-brown eyes dulled by exhaustion, and guilt.

Guilt for things he didn't cause.

It made sense after all it was human nature, but it still hurt Kim Rok Soo his dear friend in pain.

Kim Rok Soo had seen him is his dreams multiple times, at first he found it weird but after so long he took solace in their little meetings.

Turned out Cale's world was going to fall to ruin and a written document in his world, would help save it... a document that turned out to be a novel in Kim Rok Soo's world.

So they helped eachother using the information to their advantage.

They planned together, laughed together, grown to love eachother like brothers.

Since Cale turned eighteen Kim Rok Soo took care of him.

Despite being separated by universes, Kim Rok Soo took the role that the Count's Family was supposed take.

He'd been a brother, a father, an ally, and a friend to Cale.

So it was only natural that Kim Rok Soo felt a tinge of hatred for Cale's world... as he stared at the suffering person they'd dubbed a coward.

The person who suffered everyday just to save his world...

Only for him to be called trash, scum, disgrace...

So, yeah Kim Rok Soo held a certain grudge toward everyone in Roan kingdom.

And as he stared at one of Cale's companions, an eight year old dragon with no name.

A young dragon that pledged his loyalty to Cale after finding out Cale's true ambitions.

That dragon also hated them.

And after four years with Cale, it was starting to show.

The Black dragon opened his mouth and screamed in anger.

"LET ME SAVE YOU!"

Kim Rok Soo flinched at the sudden outburst.

"WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING HIM?! YOU'RE DYING!!! LET THIS MIGHTY DRAGON BE SELFISH FOR ONCE AND LET HIM SAVE YOU!!!"

Cale turned to the black dragon gaze filled with sadness.

"We've discussed this, there is no cure for dead mana."

Kim Rok Soo froze.

"Dead Mana-?" Kim Rok felt his entire body shake in rage.

"And you didn't tell me?! I could of helped you-"

Cale raised his hand to silence them both.

"No there is no cure."

Kim Rok Soo scoffed.

"There wasn't one for mermaid poison either but look at Pasteon?! He's still looking for the person who saved him!"

Cale shook his head.
