Lost Faith

Chapter 10

Choi Han and the others were preparing themselves since Cale had shown willingness to meet them again the next day. The children were excited and they went to the city to buy some souvenirs and snacks for Cale. Raon, Ohn and Hong were happily shopping with Eruhaben as their guardian. The golden dragon was also looking forward to their meeting again. After all, Cale helped him in prolonging his life. The three children bought all the snacks and things Cale liked using the money they earned.

"Noona, will human love these?" Raon asked, his excitement was visible in his eyes.

"Yes, Cale-nya will definitely love them," Ohn responded.

"I'm so excited to see him again!" Hong said as he leaped from joy. The two other children laughed.

Ron and Vicross were finishing their tasks in their revived household. Vicross wanted to prepare Cale's favorite foods to lift his mood.

Alver was the same. He crammed every paperwork he had so he could have time to spend with Cale the next day. He hadn't seen them for months, Rok Soo really locked Cale up inside the Super Rock Villa. He didn't let any of them, even Cale's family, come to visit them. So all they had to do was wait for Cale to let them in.

Deruth and his family were also the same. They wanted to assign the next day as a special day for him and his family. After the fire, Deruth didn't get a chance to speak with his son again after that. He wanted to apologize. He knew it was already too late but he was somewhat hopeful Cale would forgive him. He wanted to make up for all the days and times they lost.

On the other hand, Choi Han was currently training inside the Palace of Joy. He was extra enthusiastic with his training, even the knights of the highest grade couldn't stand a chance. He was smiling as he sparred with them. Choi Han could finally see Cale again after a long time. He certainly longed for his existence.

All of them planned for what they wanted to talk about and what they and Cale would do to make him happy. Everything was going well until they suddenly felt an extreme headache infesting their minds.

For killing my child, I will grant you the honor of looking at his own memory. You, humans, have the audacity to question his feelings towards you. See for yourself how much my child had to suffer because he believed and loved you, a voice echoed inside their minds.

"Ugh, what is this?" Deruth crouched down. Violan and their children couldn't approach them as they too felt something heavy inside their hearts and minds. Then, memories began popping out inside their heads.

It was Cale Henituse's memories. It started appearing one by one. It also contained memories they weren't familiar with. In every memory shown to them, it was filled with pain, despair, sadness, and betrayal. Yet, Cale's heart remained stubborn.

Every single one of their allies received his memories. In every lifetime Cale had, all of them were happy and free, except for him. He was the only one suffering after they defeated the White Star and the Sealed God.

Cale's screams resonated inside their minds. His begging was endless. His tears seemed bottomless. They all smiled and laughed while Cale was crying and enduring all the pain they inflicted. The heartbreaks, the physical pain, the shame and humiliation—he endured it all. He kept begging and begging for them to release him and listen to him. But not even once did they ever believe him. He was once trash, so they thought he would do those things. But they were gravely wrong.

All of them pushed the most innocent person to his own death. They killed Cale, not just once but plenty of times. Twenty at most. In every lifetime, they abandoned Cale despite him lending his ears and hand when they needed it the most. When they were on the verge of breaking, Cale was there to help them up and encourage them. Cale was weak, that was why at one point they vowed to protect him. However, not all vows were made to keep. They betrayed their own vows and killed Cale Henituse with their own hands.
