You touched him expecting to see the same face with that lovely blue hair and blue eyes filled with guilt, or regret, or even a little bit afraid when you touch him.

But no.

All you saw was a pair of silver eyes looking at you confused, his mouth parted a little in shock. His hood fell off his face while he was turning making you to look at his face and hair clearly.

Taehyung?

Taehyung is a Sebran?

No.

No he is not.

"Tae." It is all that came out of your mouth, that was enough to bring the memories of those dreams to you again.

Because this man is Taehyung. But why is he a Sebran?

Your hand was still on his shoulder, both your mouth parted in shock. He suddenly pulled himself away avoiding your touch.

That same silver eyes. Those eyes which scared you hours before. You saw it. You are seeing it. His eyes twinkling like stars, capturing your breath in your throat. Those eyes. It held that same intensity. The same one which looked at you wickedly behind that tree.

"I am sorry. You have mistaken me for someone." He said. Again, that voice. It is him. But what is the grudge he has against you? What made him so eager to wipe your smile off your face?

He is Taehyung. No. Except for his eyes and hair. They both look alike. Just the same.

He moved away from you, turning around his long black coat flowing with his movements elegantly. But you didn't let him. You didn't let him go. Not this time.

You caught his wrist by your left hand before he could move away. "Who are you?" You said. Your voice accompanied with the small pats of rain. Your right hand pressing the sword tighter on his tender neck. Closer and tighter. Just a small amount of force is enough to draw blood.

But then, You felt a sudden pain in your head.

"Luane." A man wearing a long coat said. You can't see his face. Because he was hiding it with his hood. A simple long black hood.

"You shouldn't do it." He said. Coming closer to you. His eyes were looking at you softly. His face still covered. But you can feel it from his voice.

"Don't do it. Lower your sword."

Why?

"Don't think too much. Trust me. I am helping you. Lower your sword."

A sudden wave of reality washed over you. And so you did. Blinking your eyes looking at the Sebran before you who didn't even dare to gulp. His wide eyes looked at you with... amusement?

You lowered your sword, but still held his hand so that he won't run away.

He tilted his head to his side, his silver fringes moving along. He was wondering why you took your sword away. "Were you scared human?" He asked. An arrogant smirk spreading on his face. He could see that you were taken back by his sudden question. Your brown eyes were looking at him confused.

"That is not my question. Who are you?" He chuckled at this. He could clearly see that you were scared. But still you didn't show it. Nice.

"Welcome to the palace... human." You were clueless before him. This made a tiny smile appear on his face. "Don't misunderstand me. I just like to play around with people. Sorry if I scared you." He said shaking his head. "Call me Luminous." Extending his hand towards you, looking at you hopefully that you would shake it.

"Don't forget our little play son". His father's voice echoed in his mind.

But he sensed you being suspicious. Huh. Dad should have told me about this plan sooner. Look now how hard it is for me.

"Alright. I think I went too far with the prank I did on you. I shouldn't have scared you that much." He said bowing a little. He made sure that you didn't see his clenched jaw and annoyed look on his eyes. He don't like bowing for others. But now here he is bowing to a human. Huh. I swear to god, that bird is going to die by my hands.

This is going be hard as hell.

But he saw one thing in the corner of his eyes.

Or maybe not.

Only if things weren't this way.

Loeva chuckled at this.

"Loeva. You alright?" Jimin asked her. Thinking what made his sister go silent suddenly.

"Uhh yeah. Yeah. Where did Ji Ah left?" She asked, trying to remember what Ji Ah was lecturing him about.

But before she could continue a loud screech was heard. So loud that their ears started hurting at this.

What the hell is happening?

They both held their ears hard to not allow the sound enter their head. That was heard even behind the closed doors of their room. But it stopped soon.

"What happened?" Jimin asked. His wide eyes looking at Loeva, not having a clue of what was that.

"We have to find out." Loeva said, nodding at Jimin and dashing out of the door. She didn't know from where that sound came. But surely this didn't give her a good feeling.

________________________________________________

She talked. After so many years. It was awkward. But if she didn't do this now then when she will? She still remember her husband's eyes. They were looking at her with the same warmth and love in it. The warmth and love which she missed. Each and everything made her question about her choice.

Yes. He was mad at her. But no more. Because he understood too. And maybe that is why she couldn't help but regret the choice she made. Even now he was looking at her. Those same brown eyes stared at her with same love.

"Have I made the wrong choice?" She asked. Her voice so low and hoarse. Finally, asking the question she wanted to ask for so long. For twelve years. "Have I chose the wrong path Soejun? Would things have been better if I stayed there?" She said. Her vision blurred by the freshly forming tears. Her emotions which were kept safe beyond that adamant wall broke free like a river.
Like a flooded river which cannot be stopped.

"Yeah. Things would have been alright if you stayed there... But this... This is the ri-" A huge screech cut him off from completing his sentence. Causing him to shut his ears tightly from it's intensity. Even Inez did. Her eyes widening at the thought of it happening. At the thought of him raising to power again. No. This shouldn't happen.

He took his hand off after it ended, but only to find his wife running out of the room. He followed behind, not knowing anything else to do.

_________________________________________________

Loeva ran out, she found many soldiers running towards a particular direction. So she ran too, with Jimin close behind her.

She could see Seokjin shouting at the soldiers to move fast. And even Namjoon and Yoongi joined her. All ran towards that certain purple haired Arcturan.

"What is going on?" She heard Namjoon asking Seokjin. His voice hard and filled with authority. "Its a... Sauger." Seokjin said. His purple eyes looking at him with the same intensity. At this everyone's eyes widened, holding a certain fear in them except Jimin's which were confused about what this is. Hoseok's pet, that monkey, snarled it's teeth at all of them, causing them to move away from it scared. Really. How does it understand what a Sauger is?

"We must go there." Loeva said trying to move forward. "No Princess. This is not safe for you. It would be better if you and the Prince stay here." He said holding Loeva by her wrist. His purple eyes showing clearly how concerned he is for them. Almost pleading for her to stay safe inside. It was never her duty to do. And he didn't want to see her hurt. Ever.

"Prince?. Who?" Jimin asked, which made everyone to look at him with are - you - serious look.

"Hoseok. Take the Prince and the Princess inside." Seokjin ordered the red haired male. He pulled Loeva and Jimin inside.

"No. I am not watching while my people die out there." Loeva said shrugging Hoseok's touch. Her eyes flowing with confidence. "No you shouldn't Loe-". Seokjin tried to persuade her but only to be cut off. "That's an order Seokjin." Loeva said, pulling that Princess card at him. He can't do anything. He can't go against his royals. But still Loeva has never enunciated that she is a Princess unless it is really necessary. And now... It is.

Another pair of footsteps was heard. They turned their head and saw the protectors running towards them. "General. We need more men. This Sauger is no ordinary one. This is more powerful. And our men... can't control it." He heard Jungkook say. He was breathing hard as he came running all the way here. His Red hair strands stuck on his forehead.

Seokjin shouted his commands at this. More soldiers marched out of the place. But he know. He know that they are not enough. Oh god. If they can't do anything to this Sauger itself, then how are they going to fight him?

"We need to prepare." That is all he said. Before going inside to bring his sword and marching out with the other soldiers.

_____________________________________________________

This is going to hard as hell.

But he saw a huge pair of wings coming in his direction. A Sauger?

Hmm. Even though I hate this bird, I must admit that it is really clever. Luminous thought with a smirk which you obviously didn't notice.

You were beyond confused at this guy's behaviour. As failing to notice the look on his face. He scared me that much just to prank me. But how? No. I shouldn't trust him yet. You thought. But your thoughts were destroyed by the loud sound which came from above you. So loud that your ears were hurting. You closed your eyes and ears shut to try and ignore that noise but, everything was only in vain. You crouched down not being able to bear the screeching noise. Your eyes burning with tears at it's intensity.

But it stopped. It was there for a solid fifty seconds and it stopped. Hot. It was hot around you. You took your hands away from your ears and opened your eyes. Only to find it...

A Sauger.

A dragon like creature with big white wings half wide as the size of the palace. It's shiny white body was lined with golden lines. It's golden manes now shining in the fire which it was letting out with its huge mouths all around you both. Its five heads setting everything on fire. Its usually friendly blue eyes were now Red?

And the main thing is that it noticed you two standing there...
