Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter One

Seonghwa shifts his eyes to look outside as his family is talking about how they will have to make their yearly visit to all the packs around them to ensure peace is kept.

"Word has been getting around that Bloodbane and Essence haven't been getting along as of late... They insist that Essence possesses magical abilities that they've kept hidden from all of the other packs for years. They're getting more and more aggressive about that fact, and we've received information that they are plotting an attack that will lead to war," Seonghwa's mother, Park Hyejin, says.

Seonghwa's mother has always been very assertive for an omega and this has rubbed off on Seonghwa as he's grown up. Seonghwa always admired his mother for her ability to speak confidently in front of the alphas of the pack, and their family. Seonghwa learned a lot from her, but he does not want to engage in this conversation. He's never liked talk of war. He's never been much of a talker in general, actually.

"We're going to have to leave tonight then, but we can't visit Bloodbane first. If we did, then they would suspect something since we typically visit them towards the end of our yearly trips. As the pack leader of Chrysalis, we must take this seriously. War is the one thing we have been trying to prevent for so many years, and we have done so successfully so far. I'm not going to allow that to change now just because of Bloodbane and their nutty assumptions of Essence," Seonghwa's father, Park Gyungho, explains, expanding on his wife's thoughts.

Seonghwa listens mindlessly to his parents' speech to the higher tier wolves of their pack, keeping his face neutral.

"While we are gone, we are entrusting the Han family in the upkeep of our pack values and pack in general. Every year, they have done a wonderful job keeping everyone in check, especially our visitors coming to learn about our customs and values," Gyungho goes on, in the end, bowing towards the Han family sitting on the left side of the table.

Seonghwa shifts his eyes once again, this time to look towards the Han family. His father has been wanting him to try and get along better with the Han's daughter, Eunji, but Seonghwa had no interest in getting to know her. Seonghwa doesn't have much interest in getting to know anyone, really.

The Han family all stand up and bow in understanding and respect towards the Park family at the head of the table.

"We must get to packing for our journey, now. I know that you all understand, and thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pack ahead of time," Hyejin smiles and also bows before all of the Park family leave the meeting house and go back to their own home to pack for their trip.

Seonghwa goes to his room and gets out his backpack. This is what they all use while traveling long distances. These backpacks are made so that when they shift into their wolf forms, it stays attached to them, so there is no issue with that. It's something that Chrysalis has used for many years since they must travel quite frequently, even aside from the Park's yearly trip around the packs. The Chrysalis pack is a decent distance away from most things, but it doesn't bother them. They've always preferred it that way, to always keep their pack grounds on the original grounds that they originated from.

Seonghwa looks out the window longingly at the pack members doing their daily duties. He dislikes having to leave his home, but he would do anything for his pack and for his family. His pack is his family. Being a male omega like Seonghwa is, is very rare for Chrysalis, and especially for the Park family. Being of pure and royal bloodline as they are, Seonghwa is basically a one in a million chance.
