Prologue Part 6
Raon Miru is a great and mighty dragon and as such, there is a great deal that he knows.
He knows that he needs to stick with his weak human, if he wants that weak human to survive (his human really should stop getting into trouble every time he does even the simplest of tasks).
He knows that he will protect his family with everything he has.
He knows that wherever they are now it has something to do with the God of Death.
He also knows that if that god has done something to his weak human, he will find a way to kill that god.
Raon Miru is a great and mighty dragon, but he is still only 7 years old. That being said, there are a great deal of things he still does not know, but he will learn them fast since he is great and mighty.
He doesn't know where his weak human currently is, but he will find him.
He doesn't know how to protect his family from everything that keeps coming at them, but he will find a way to.
He doesn't know where the God of Death is, but he is sure he can find him with Goldie Gramps and his mom's help.
He doesn't know how to kill a god, but he is sure his human could tell him how once he finds him.
Since killing the God of Death will have to wait until his human is back, he will take the weak human's role. He will keep an eye on everyone, while remaining invisible, to make sure they stay safe. He will wait and watch.
Getting all the important information first is the best way to smack them from behind after all.
•••••
Choi Han is fed up with the God of Death. He knows with absolute certainty that whatever this is, it's all the doing of at least one of the gods.
He really wouldn't be surprised if there is more than one involved, but he knows the God of Death is the main culprit.
Cale-nim fainting after that divine item attacked him followed by everyone suddenly appearing in a new location just proves his point.
It's not even the first (or second) time the God of Death has done this to him. He will admit that the second time was pretty much done at his own request in order to aid Cale-nim with his test, but it still counts.
A quick glance around shows that he much prefers this situation to either of the others. This time he isn't suddenly alone without a clue as to where he is. He isn't at the bottom of the food chain. He isn't suddenly in a world both familiar and yet so very different. He doesn't have to fight through monsters to find his important people.
This time he has his family, friends, and allies by his side. This situation is automatically better than the other two for that reason, but he still can't be happy. He doesn't know where they are or what is happening. He isn't sure if his family is safe here and, most importantly, Cale-nim is not here. Even with just a quick glance he can tell that Cale is missing and without Cale-nim, his family isn't complete.
He doesn't know where Cale-nim is, but he is sure to find him. There are no other options. No matter where he is, he will bring his family back, but for now, he will wait and watch. He will figure out what is going on and then use that information to smack those damn gods from behind.
•••••
Alberu has a headache. The kind of headache only his dongsaeng is capable of giving him.
He knows that crazy bastard has done something again or is at the very least the cause of this. He isn't sure what exactly this is, but it's got 'crazy bastard was here' written all over it.
Is it too late to disown his troublesome dongsaeng?
Yeah, that's pretty much impossible. Cale may be a walking headache, but he is his walking headache and he wouldn't trade him for anything. That said, where the hell is his walking headache. He knows Cale isn't here. He can tell with just a glance (and the fact that nothing has spectacularly exploded) that Cale isn't here.
That worries him. Bad things tend to happen when Cale disappears.
While he is concerned, he knows it will all work out. Cale isn't someone easy to subdue and they do have several great and mighty existences on their side. Quite a few of the others here aren't exactly pushovers themselves either.
So, even though Cale isn't anywhere in sight, it's okay. Alberu has learned patience over the years and the last few years of being exposed to the wonder that is his dongsaeng has also taught him the importance of biding one's time and striking at the best possible moment.
That makes it so much more satisfying when you eventually smack them from the back.
•••••
Someone is going to die. No other options are acceptable.
There have been far too many nosy bastards sniffing around his puppy young master and Ron is getting fed up with it.
It's time to make an example out of someone so all the other flies will get the hint and stay away.
Besides, the Molan household has never killed a god before.
This will be fun and in true assassin form, he will strike them in the back.
•••••
His father is going to kill someone.
Beacrox knows that look in his eyes and he is more than happy to help.
While he is sure his father will smack them from behind like this crazy group prefers to do, Beacrox is a much more straightforward person. He will come at them from the front.
That way they will definitely never see the smack from behind coming.
•••••
Apparently killing a reincarnator and sealing a god isn't big enough to warn off others from messing with her family.
That's okay. Rosalyn is used to pushing past limits. If sealing a god wasn't enough, killing one surly will be.
She is positive that Young Master Cale has everything planned out already, complete with looting them dry and smacking them in the back, but since he isn't here right now, Rosalyn will stick with what she does best and just blow it up in their face. The bigger the better too.
•••••
On and Hong are confused. They aren't sure where they are or how they got there. They also can't see their father anywhere, but that's okay.
They are confused, but not afraid. They aren't alone anymore. They aren't outcasts. They have a family. They have people to watch their back, so they aren't afraid and even if their father isn't here right now, they know he will be back. He always comes back.
•••••
It takes a brief moment for Lock's mind to catch up to what his senses already know.
He isn't where he was. Someone has moved not only him, but the rest of his family to another location.
That is worrying. He doesn't know where they are, how to get them back, or who has done this and that makes him nervous.
He can't see or smell young master Cale either. What if something has happened to Cale? What can he do?
He is starting to panic and that won't help anyone.
Lock knows he isn't the strongest one in his family. He isn't even in the top 10, so really, what is he supposed to do in this situation?
Then Lock remembers how Cale told him it was okay when he was afraid before the battle at the Gorge of Death. It was okay that he couldn't go berserk anymore, that his family was strong and he wasn't alone.
Those remembered words calm him. He takes a breath and realizes that this is the same.
He doesn't have to be the strongest. He doesn't have to carry all the weight.
Those thoughts give Lock courage. He stands up straighter and looks around. He can see his family around him and while young master Cale isn't here, he is sure he will come back.
Until then though, Lock will be the sturdy shield that covers his family. He may not be the strongest fighter, but he can be a sturdy shield.
•••••
Mary isn't sure what exactly happened, but that's okay. She doesn't need to know all the details.
That's what other members of her family do. All Mary needs to do is protect them and be ready to destroy everything.
She is sure that young master Cale knows what is going on, so she will just wait, watch, and be ready to help him when he needs it. Even if she can't see him here now, she knows he somehow will let them know the best time to smack whoever has done this from behind.
•••••
Eruhaben has never been more glad that Cale is a stubborn bastard than at this moment.
If Cale wasn't so stubborn, then Eruhaben knows he would have left the world before this moment and that is not acceptable.
How could he leave that unlucky bastard and the little kid on their own to deal with this mess, whatever it is?
He isn't sure what this is, but he is positive that it is the doing of a god and he would be damned before he let his children face off against another god on their own.
This time things will be different. This time he won't have to worry about his failing body. He can really go all out now. He is, after all, a young dragon again.
Eruhaben is quite glad he has lived more than his allotted life span. He has done and seen much in his long life, but beating a god into dust will be a first.
He has had many firsts since meeting his kids and now he can look forward to many more with them.
•••••
That's it. Deruth is done. A father can only be expected to take so much before they snap. He warned him. Deruth explicitly told Cale not to move. He told him to sit still and do nothing, but it appears that child of his didn't listen.
Looks like the territory's new lord needs another stern talking to.
He is going to chain Cale to a desk, buried under a mountain of administrative tasks. That should keep him out of trouble and safe.
Who is he kidding? Even if he stuck Cale to a desk with mounds of paperwork to sift through, Cale would still somehow manage to cause chaos or get himself hurt.
Maybe he should just ground him? If the only thing Cale is allowed to do is roll around on his bed and eat, he should stay out of trouble, right?
"Haaa."
With a heavy sigh, Deruth resigned himself to trying to figure out what his son has done now. He assumes it was something Cale did. He doesn't know anyone else that gets involved in pretty much every issue there is going on throughout the world.
Looking around to try and spot his son, he realizes that they aren't the only group here. It's at that moment that he hears a very familiar voice.
"Fuck. Now there's three!"
