Dongju walks through the castle to the dinner room, he is happy today. Geonhak promised him to bring him to a nice spot so he can't wait for it. He suddenly sees Kai staring outside. Dongju stops with walking and looks at the boy. It is nothing for the younger to just stand there and staring. Even when one of their friends got in slumber, he stayed happy and positive.

'Hey Kai!'

The male just hums and Dongju hold his head to the right. He stands next to Kai and sees the land is covered in a bit ice.

'Wow, it is so cold already?'

'Yes, something is wrong with the nature.'

'Why do you think that?'

Kai looks at the snow and then at Dongju.

'I can't keep it away, normally I can but now.'

'And that is a bad thing...'

'Yes, I mean. I am here also to keep Keonhee save, but as the ice just goes over me. I can't help him.'

'You mean.'

'No no! I just need to find the source before it reach totally here.'

'KAI!'

They look up, Dongmyeong runs to them. Dongju is confused.

'Tae, Taehyun. He is awake!'

They look surprised at each other and run to the room.

~

When they come in everyone is there already. Taehyun is sitting on the bed, he is pale and sweaty like he fought really bad.

'How?' Kai asks the others.

'We don't know, I heard a sort of magic sound and when I left to check on Taehyun, he was awake,' Soobin told staring at the youngest.

'They are coming.'

When Taehyun spoke, it was so soft they couldn't hear it clearly.

'What?' Beomgyu asks with a soft voice to comfort the younger.

'T-the witches, they are coming. They have a new kind of weapon they want to test.'

The king walks away to organize the soldiers. The others look at Taehyun who stands up with help from Beomgyu.

'What can we do?' Hwanwoong asks.

'I feel like someone can stop it, but I don't know who or how. I don't even know if it is true. It feels powerful and dangerous. Be prepared for everything.'

They look at each other. Seoho looks at his friends who turn to him. The orange haired looks at his hands. Hwanwoong takes the olders hands and the older looks at the smaller.

'You stay here hyung, Keonhee needs you.'

Seoho looks at the others who nod, Seoho smiles and hugs him.

'Thank you, be safe.'

'You too Seoho.'

Seoho then left to Keonhee while the others go to the towers. Taehyun watch the land who is cold as ice.

'Kai, can you keep it away?'

'No, it is different kind of ice, I don't have any power on it.'

Taehyun nods and Beomgyu hugs the wizard.

'We will be fine.'

'I know.'

Hwanwoong smiles and looks down, he can see the goblins standing. He looks for Donghun. He finally notices the boy, standing next Junhee and behind most of the soldiers.

A sudden cold wind let them look up. It became silent, everyone waiting for the fight.

Out of nowhere there is thrown a fire ball, everyone screams at is makes smock.

'LOOK OUT OF ATTACKS!!' Felix yells.

Then screams enter the soft wind. Witches suddenly appeared and attack the castle without hesitation.

The princes and wizards hide for a bit. But Kai walks out of that.

'KAI COME BACK HERE!' Taehyun screams to him.

'There! There is something there!'

They try to see what Kai can see or feel, but they can't it is just a white view.

'Kai, what do you feel?'

'Someone. Someone who needs help hyung.'

'The weapon is a person or animal?'

'I don't know. Hyung. I want to help. Hyung.'

'No stay here. KAI!'

Kai let ice wings appear and flies up to let the mist go away. Now they can see a reindeer standing, he has blue eyes and is enormous.

All look shock at it, no one ever saw this before.

'What is this?' Hwanwoong asks Youngjo and Taehyun who shake their head.

'I never saw this,' Youngjo said.

'Neither do I.'

The reindeer just stands there while witches are attacking beneath them.

Kai is still flying above them; the reindeer only looks at the male.

'Kai, come back here. It is dangerous,' Taehyun said.

Kai does so and Taehyun hugs the scared male. The others look at them and the reindeer.

'I remember one,' Dongju suddenly said.

'Really?' Youngjo asks.

'Yes, he was at my castle, I played a lot with him. But he wasn't this big.'

'What happened to him? You know that?'

Dongju start to think as the reindeer is coming their way.

'We will hear about that story later; we need to lead him away!' Hwanwoong said.

They all agree on that. Taehyun looks at Kai who hides himself in the older. The wizard frown, but soon after hears screams again of people. He shakes his head and looks at the other boys.

'We need Seoho to lead them away, his fire wolf will scare the reindeer,' Youngjo said and they nod.

Hwanwoong left to tell Seoho, Youngjo follows him while the others stayed there to help who need that. The two princes run through the hallways and get attacked by a witch. Hwanwoong is thrown aside against the wall and stayed silent for a bit. Youngjo got pushed against the floor and looks at the witches above them and Hwanwoong.

'Woong.'

The said male opens his eyes a bit and looks at Youngjo who crawl to him and help him up.

'Come.'

They go further, but not as fast. They at the end reach the room of the princes and see Seoho staring outside.

'S-S-Seoho.' The males paint from running.

Seoho turns and fast walk to them.

'Are you two okays, what happened?'

'W-we need you. You need to transform.'

Seoho bite his lip as he looks at Keonhee who is sleeping, some flowers are from ice already.

'Please, we can't save him or anyone without you Seoho. I know we said you must protect him but, this is the only way,' Youngjo spoke looking at Seoho who slowely nods.

'Okay, okay. But fast.'
