Multiverse of MiChaeng (Oneshots)

Uncle

Continuation of Birth
Prequel of Plan
Genre: Fantasy

A young prince, Songyu, the adorable little son of the Wizard queen Mina and king Soonghoon. Just six years old and already strong enough to adventure around the kingdom although he's still accompanied by Joona the bird. Like his father, he's brave and outgoing, seeking to explore new things, and like his mother, he's smart and kind to the other Wizards and the servants of the Royal Lands.

"Songyu, since your father is busy taking care of the Outlanders out there, I suggest we go back home now." Joona said after flying to the small boy.

"But Joona I wanna see dad in action." he whined. The bird chuckled and landed on a small rock in front of him.

"You will one day, lad. Off we go now." he instructed and flew as he led the boy who was pouting in disappointment.

The Bloom Kingdom
Kingdom of The Wizards

Many other adult Wizards were busy talking here and there and also many were busy practising their own natural weapon; magic. They trained themselves the arts of sorcery and discovering new powers.

While the adults were busy, the young little Wizards were also in the kids area playing with one another and also practising their little magics. Songyu didn't really like to play with the other kids and preferred exploring new places on his own. He sighed deeply and looked down, but then his attention was distracted when he noticed something.

A small blue little butterfly, somehow shining and glimmering brightly, was flying around his head and landed on his nose smoothly while flapping its wings. Songyu slowly lifted his hands and tried to catch the shining creature with his palms, yet it quickly took off and flew away from his face. He groaned and chased the butterfly along, trying to get it. He then used his still newly found magic and tried to stop the butterfly from flying, yet he failed as he accidentally slipped on a rock, falling to the ground as he rolled over to the grass....near the forest not far from the castle and other Wizards.

Songyu groaned and rubbed his head as he wiped the dirt off his shirt. He looked for the butterfly, trying to at least find it, but unfortunately he found no more trace of the animal, before he heard a stern dark voice.

"If you want to catch something, learn how to stay in the stealth."

He looked to his left upwards, and saw someone creepy, none other than his uncle Katar, sitting on a huge rock.

"I know how to catch, uncle Chaeyoung." he enthusiastically giggled and approached his uncle, climbing up the rock and then rested himself on top of it beside the dark Katar who seemed displeased and bothered by his own nephew's presence, the dark Wizard rolling his eyes and giving a secret cold glare as he stared at the back of Songyu.

"Then let's hope a butterfly won't get you killed next time." he scoffed and looked somewhere else, looking at the magnificent view of the kingdom in front of the woods. "Go home, Songyu, don't keep your mother waiting. I'm not a babysitter." he mentioned Mina, although not directly mentioning her name after all. Little did Songyu know, was that his own mother, was his uncle's past lover.

"Babysitter? Huh, I'm gonna be the king of Wizards, and you won't have to babysit me anymore, uncle Chaeyoung." Songyu giggled with confidence while still looking at the castle. "Dad told me that when I'm gonna be the king, I'm gonna ruuuulee it all." he grinned. Katar looked at him from behind, eyes dark and emotionless, resembling nothing but pure hatred for his own nephew. Songyu wasn't at his liking, he was merely a fault. A seed and a fruit his Mina made with his own brother Soonghoon. The dread that he would despise for life.

"Is that so?" Katar plainly said, eyes still glued to Songyu's back as if he was having the urge to eradicate the young boy mercilessly.

"Yep, that's true!" Songyu marked. "I just can't wait to be king." he then looked around the dark woods and was quite startled by how scary the forest was just beside his home. His own uncle's territory surely was intriguing. "Dad showed me the Royal Lands. They're so beautiful." he talked again, annoying Katar.

"Well, that's no surprise." Katar bitterly chuckled and lied on the harsh rock. "Has he shown you what's beyond there in the northern border? What's there beyond the Royal Lands?" he asked. Songyu then pouted and sighed.

"He said I can't go there. It's too dangerous." Katar quietly smirked and snorted.

"And he's absolutely right." he growled sarcastically and stood up. "It is indeed too dangerous for the Wizards." he deeply said and turned his back. "The Outlairs is a place not welcomed for young kings." he said and walked back to his hut that had somehow been turned into a dark cave.

"The Outlairs? What is that?" Songyu was confused and followed his uncle to the cave.

"Oh dear I've maybe said too much." he sarcastically pretended to blurt it out and playfully face-palmed. "But even so I've supposed you would have found out sooner or later, you being a tremendously clever little Wizard, Songyu. It's a terrible place, you know." he said as he walked around in his cave, the atmosphere ambiant and the light ceasing to shine.

"You've been there?"

"We've all been there. It's a terribly displeasing place, far worse than the Tar Pits." Katar scared him while kicking away the bones of his victims so that Songyu couldn't spot them. "It's filled with rotting bones, oozing mud, screaming blood of the souls that were slaughtered there. It's no place for anyone like you, Songyu. I'm just looking out for the well being of my nephew." he ruffled the boy's hair; however, his face lacked any expression, only hatred and rage.

"Whoa, that must be a cool place!" Songyu wowed and tiptoed around. Katar darkly chuckled and shook his head.

"Cool? The fitting word is ominous, my lad. You belong out there in the light, Songyu. You don't belong here in the shadows as I do. Promise me you'll stay safe away from that terrible place, nephew." he sternly said. Songyu smiled sheepishly and nodded.

"Promise, uncle Chaeyoung!"

"Now you run along now and have fun with the children." Katar said and Songyu started to tiptoe out. "And remember." he called him, making the boy turn his back to him one last time. "It's our little secret." he smiled before Songyu had disappeared out of sight.

His face then turned deadpan serious in a second, his eyes twitching and his face showing pure anger.

"Your majesty."
