A/N
SOOO i got inspiration...SHET..Soo i decided To make the story a little longer... ;-;
Eithier way i just want to make the story a bit interesting..So please enjoy!
The voice that Eruhaben desperately want to hear has been heard..but not in a good way..
How?
well the voice belongs to someone who is dead..
Eruhaben head snap to the sound, eyes wide open and a scream escape his mouth.
'CALE!'
he scream..
his wide eyes settle down as he saw the sight.
It was empty.
nothing.
Nothing was ever there.
Eruhaben stood there, eyes looking down to the ground..And drips of tears slowly escapes his eyes..
Eruhaben didnt wipe the tears away..He cries in silent, just looking down to the ground..Was it the fact that the place is empty or was it too quite, Eruhaben suddenly recalls memories.
He recall the memories that he deem to be important and cherish very much..
The firts memories he recall was...His firts meeting with Cale Henitsue,.He met Cale when he is 9 years old.
He was standing near a special tree in the Forest of Darkness..He just finish checking up on the elves when he decided he wants to have a little laugh..He flew to the humans territories to laugh at human stupidity..
It was a small habit he picked when he was younger.Really living for sooo many years...Alone..could be a little boring..
So he tries to do stuff to pass the time..
He laugh at humans incompetence.
he laugh at humans desperateness.
He laugh at humans foolishness..
He never sees humans or any other beings to be even an equal value to him.Well he is a dragon..
But.
At the same time...He envy humans..
He envy the humans relations..
He envy humans because they have something Eruhaben would never have.
Love, Relationship, Affections, Friendships
Dragons could never have those.Dragons pride themselves to much to even have a bond..Dragons lives all alone..
Eruhaben slowly grows jealous of humans ability to have relationships..
Even when humans cheat and dindt care of relations with other humans, there is alot of moment where Eruhaben felt quite "jealous"..
For instance, A mother and child, A Wife and husband , A friend that still be remember even though have been separate in a very long time...
He felt jealous at some humans loyalties, but he learn to accept his nature..Of being alone forever..
Till one day..
'What are you doing...Mere child!?'
Eruhaben was admiring a tree that successfully grows uncorrupt in the land of Forest of darkness..Until he felt a tugged on his hair..
He snapped his head down towards his long strand of golden hairs that almost touch the ground..
Eruhaben eyes squinted at the sight..
His hair is being braided..
By a small redhead boy, with brown-reddish eyes and cute soft cheeks.
soft?
Well the child cheeks do look soft.
'Child.Do you know what am I?? DO your parents dindt tell you the danger of talking with strangers? I saw a child the same size being taken away li-'
'Please stop moving'
The redhead child ask politely.
'Tch, How a feeble child like you dare to touch a dragon hair..'
Eruhaben voice sounds a bit harsh but the child dindt seem to care..
'WOOW! You are a dragon! That is soo COOL!'
The child looks up with stars in his eyes and unfinish braid on his little palm.
There is some magic with seeing a child amazement..And this particular child actually touch his heart out of pure cuteness.
Eruhaben just nodded at the redhead child with a stoic face..
Before Eruhaben could spoke up the child spoke firts.
'Mommy told me stories about dragons! mommy says that they are prideful and mighty!'
Eruhaben just stare at the little child..His heart went confused when the child expression turn sour..
'But....All the stories mommy told! The dragons sounds lonelyy!'
'Ho'
Eruhaben has an amused expression after hearing the child.
'Dragonss lives long, Sir! do you get lonely often? If so, I would visit and braid your hair, I promise everytime!'
Suddenly now a determine looks plaster on the child face.
Eruhaben frown and want to protest..And something hit him..Was he talking with a human child so normally?...Thats odd..
Eruhaben thought a bit.
The child on the otherhand just continue to braid Eruhaben hair.
'My name is Cale, Cale Henitsue.. Whats yours?'
Ahh.. A noble child.
'Haa...The name is Eruhaben...'
Cale nodded and continue to braid the person hair he just met 5 minutes ago..
Eruhaben dont really know what to say..At this moment his dragon mind just went blank..He stood in silent as the child were tugging and combing his hair..He didn't really mind this child to braid his hair for some reason..
Eruhaben looks behind where the child is at..
The child were braiding his hair with concetration..Eruhaben notices that Cale is standing.. Eruhaben sigh and sat onto the ground..Cale follows and now Cale can properly braid his hair.
For a brief moment they sat in silence..Before Eruhaben breaks the silent.
'Say child, why are you here in this dangerous forest..All alone?..I could feel there is no other presence except you and some monsters.'
'Well, I want to fight fate.'
Cale answears.
'What ridiculous statment is that?!'
Eruhaben voice were harsh and strict, he couldnt believe the level of stupidity this child possessed..
Cale dintd finish tho, Cale continue his statment in a calm and stoic voice.
'Mommy says she is fated to die'
Eruhaben frozen when he heard the child answear.
'She says she wont make it till the end of my childhood..'
...
'My childhood is short and I dont want to lose mommy! I hate fate! i dont like fate..Mommy always say that anyone deserves a chance to live!'
'If mommy gone than i cannot enjoy living anymore. mommy is what makes living the best!! Eruhaben-nim! lets live the BEST life everrrr with mommy!'
The child says it with soo much joy and determination, The more Eruhaben pity this child.
'Is yout mommy sick..cale?.'
Cale shook his head
'Nope mommy is healthy and strong! she never really get sick..'
...
Eruhaben quite down again..
'Than Cale..'
'Yesssss?'
'What would you do if you dindt manage to save your mommy?'
Cale answears with no hesitation..
'Mommy will make it! i believe soo...But if not i am gonna be reallyy sad..After that I dont know.'
Eruhaben just sigh..
'Well than why do you decide to fight fate here?'
Cale just smiles and says..
'Because there is a strong dragon here, that i will reqruit to to go on adventures with me in fighting the big boss FATE!!!'
Eruhaben want to laugh at the child but he hold himself back.
'Anyway,Do you want to know what i did today?'
Eruhaben with nothing to do just reply
'Sure'
And thats the starts of the years long friendships..
Cale would sneak out of his studies, outside, inside at any given opportunities to meet with Eruhaben..Eruhaben thought Cale to be a hassle but overtime he learn that he could not shake Cale of his tail..LIterally..
Aside of that some unpleasent memories hows up...
There is one time where Cale went to meet Eruhaben in the forest and he bought some chicken sandwiches with him in a basket..
Only for Cale to meet up with a bloodbath...
That is one of the firts sign that Eruhaben notices..A sign that Cale is not human..
Or.. was human..
The Arm actually went and tries to kill Eruhaben in his sleep.Lukily for Eruhaben he was awake waiting for Cale..Eruhaben turn into a dragon, and brutally kills the Arm members..
Limbs and skins were torn, bloods were shed, and screams were muffled..Thats is the sight that Cale saw..The bodies of those that Eruhaben have kills drop down from the sky and landed infront of Cale.
plop
plop
plop
The bodies goes. Cale did nothing but just stare at the scene..After the last bodies fell, know Eruhaben were aware of Cale presence..
His stomach fell when he saw the deadness and calmness inside Cale eyes..And if Eruhaben recalls one of Cale pupil resembles a flower.
Eruhaben ran to Cale..In his human form..He knows that Cale has seen enough..He killing Arm members in such a brutal way..He probably already traumatize this kid..Cale is only 11 years old..And is someone Eruhaben cherishes..
What he just did made him feel disgusted at himself..He didnt want to be rememmber this way.And he certainly dont want Cale to fear and hate him..
So he ran
and walk
slowly..
For once Eruhaben felt scared, that he might lost his one and only friend..
But the outcome is more shocking..
Eruhaben has never felt the coldness in his spine until now.
There is a streak of blood and also a bright cheerful smile on Cale face..The smile he always greeted too..
Cale voice were calm and the same which made it more chillier..
'HI Eruhaben-nim, I brought chicken sandwiches! and also wanna hear someeeees stories!'
Eruhaben eyes were in horror, he thought he is dreaming..
The pile of bodies behind him..Cale dindt seem to mind.
Eruhaben gulp his saliva and holds onto Cale hand
'Of course, why dont we eat somewhere else? After that i show you some magic... ..'
'mhm!'
Cale just replies with a short mhm..
The two left the scene and enjoys their lifes like normal..Until another Tragedy strike..
The tragedy that has molded Cale into something unimagineable..
A tragedy that an even a mighty and strong dragon couldnt prevent..But knows is coming..
The Tragedy Of Countess Henitsue..
The death of Cale's mother..
Was like disaster came in a wrapped gift..
Cale wasn't born human, he was shape to be..
And now all the efforts, comes crumbling down, like a still building tower lost its foundation..
