The Slacker sleepless nights

A switch in the mirror

Cale who was still hyperventilating manage to calm himself down with deep and slow breaths, inhale and exhale. When he finally regain control over his senses, that's when he realize, something was wrong. He looked around and noticed that all the furniture seem to have gotten bigger than what he remember. He put's his hand on his head in confusion and stress when he felt some kind of liquid on his hand when he touched himself. Hesitantly, he brought his hand infront of his face and there it was, fresh blood.

He ran towards the mirror and nearly stumbled in his walk when he notice his look. He looked exactly like the boy in the dagger's light. His past weak gullible naive self who couldn't even protect himself when it was most needed.

He knew it would do no good if he started panicking again so he force himself to accept reality, he became his past self. Despite accepting, he avoided looking in the mirror at all cost, this form brought back seem deep memories which he hid in the back of his head for years.

'Ok, so it seems like I can turn into this form again,.......... can I turn into my old body(Kim Rok Soo) again.'

No that wouldn't work. He had already tried that multiple times but it never work. He inwardly sighed in disappointment. He wonders if he could still fly like he use to in this form.

'It wouldn't hurt to try, right?'

He imagine himself floating like he use to and just like that, he felt his feet leaving the ground in a slow pace. It has been a long time since he last flied and he was still inside a house full of people. He didn't need to make them cling onto him in worry again because he accidently hurt himself again.

He was trying to get use to flying again when suddenly, he heard no he sense hurried footsteps coming to wards his door. In his best guess, the person should reach the room in 5 min. With not much time to spare, he immediately lowered himself back on the ground and imagine himself as Cale and for some reason it work.

He felt the air tense up as his senses were telling his he only had 2 min left and he still hadn't hidden the dagger. He grabbed the dagger rather quickly for some who just threw all the way across the room. He didn't know why but his instincts were telling him to hold on to that dagger. He looked around the room in order to find a hiding place when the dagger fell out of his hand. Cale was so panicked that he accidently let it go. The dagger was about to hit the ground which was covered by Cale's shadow from the setting sun but it didn't, instead it seem to have ......... sunk into his shadow.

Cale didn't even have time to process what the hell just happen when the door suddenly slammed open and there he was, his golden dragon father figure and his assassin father figure in all there glory with worry shown in there face, they weren't even trying to hide.
