This is a sequel to my oneshot On the Other Side http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/478920/on-the-other-side-angst-romance-you-leo-vixx I highly suggest that you read it first.  If you haven't read it yet, please don't read the foreward, because spoilers.

Mato had been destroyed. The Matonians had just barely escaped the attack. Three hundred years later, they might not be so lucky to escape a second time.
