Son of the corruption King [Remastered]

Child's Tragedy

In the morning, Kanji was the first to wake up and soon realized that he was hugging Rox in his sleep. He tried to move away from him, but the hug became slightly tight, causing him to blush since Rox confessed his love to him last night. He then tried to shake him awake, and Rox then groggily woke up and saw the situation they were in, and Rox quickly let him go and looked away with a blush-filled face. The two then got out and soon took down their tent, and the others soon woke up and followed suit by taking down the camp they set up and getting on the boat for the mission to get the next crystal. Kanji stayed with Rox with a smile as a once brute guardian is now a blushing mess whenever he gets the chance to, and Rox did the same to him, like a flirtatious battle between each other. 

The calm soon ended when Yukihyō called everyone to the center to tell them her story and why she suddenly when protective when the guardians were in danger when they were trapped in a cave. They got curious as Yukihyō started to tell her tale, ¨I am once a mother of a child named Kanji, the name Kanji used when he couldn´t remember his past or his name. I am happy when they used it as it honored him, especially a guardian of his favorite color, blue.¨ Yukihyō looked at Kanji as he looked shocked because of a name that he remembered when unconscious, and he didn´t know that it belonged to a child of his first friend, Yukihyō. Rox said, ¨The way you described your child is as if he died as a hero. What happened to him??¨ Yukihyō wiped her tears away as she started her tale, ¨My little Kanji was precious, which would make sapphires jealous. He is sweeter than honey and more courageous than a badger. His Braveness came from a disease called Urbach-Wiethe, which made him fearless. I wouldn´t trade my little hybrid for the world. Sorry for rambling along, and I´ll tell you what happened to him.¨ She wiped down the tears that threatened to fall and said, ¨When his father was away to hunt for animal meat to sell and for us to get the lion's share of it. Kanji and I went into the forest for some exploration without my husband´s protection. We loved how nature looked and had fun playing a learning game about nature, but peace didn´t last long when the monster came and saw us. I pulled my son to run away from it, but soon I tripped over, twisted my ankle badly, and gouged my hand.¨ She showed the scar on her hand that looked like a fang, and she continued, ¨I turned around to see the monster behind me, and I saw the beast was behind me, licking their lips, and before it could do anything to me, I heard a young war cry, and I looked over and saw Kanji running on all fours like a cat, jumping onto their face and attacking them mercilessly to protect me while they shouted for me to hide.¨ She started to glitch out from blue to pink as she continued, ¨I hid in a cave, and I peeked over to see what the two were doing; Our son was doing good damage and gave it a nasty cut on its lower lips and burnt their right eye out, but he didn´t expect one thing from the creature when he went onto another attack that led him to his death. He jumped for another tail strike, covered in blood, and it opened his mouth and caught him with a loud crunch, killing him.¨ She started to let the tears fall as she bugged more out of coloration as she finished her tale ¨After it left, hearing a set of heavy footing, my mate came to see me hiding and injured by something. He then asked where´s our son, and I lied that he was taken by rouge hunters. He brought me home to recover and left to search for our son, except his body would not be found as it was devoured.¨ She looked up with black tears streaking down her face. Kanji went over and hugged her as she cried over his shoulder as the others left the two for Kanji to confer her about her child´s sacrifice. Later that night, when everyone went to get some sleep to rest to let the boat drift to a new location to retrieve the next piece, the crystal of space. Yukihyō watched over the night sky, looking at the tower that housed the king and his army before she went inside the ship to get some rest. Little do they know that Yukihyō´s story was heard by someone, and his eyes were normal as his quivering voice was filled with sorrow and heartbroken ¨Kanji´s dead and that guardian taken his name?¨ The person was now filled with rage for the name theft, thinking it was dishonorable to take the fallen boy´s name.
