Hands firm on the control, with eyes straight ahead, Sehun tried his best to minimize the impact as their ship stumbled into an unknown planet. Animals tried to avoid them, the ship veered out of the control, to the side. Fortunately they were able to crash-land without much trouble, thanks to Lyla and Zach shielding the ship just in time. However Sehun was certain, unlike the living beings on the ship, Black Pearl had sustained damages. The ship gave a slight jerk before coming to a stop. In front of them were rows of trees unique to the planet. So beautiful that Sehun couldn't stop his eyes widening a bit. "Pearl report our location." Sehun rasped, tearing his eyes away form the trees, and glanced to his side, where he caught sight of Jungkook helping his father out of his seat. The older elf stumbled Into his son's arms, head lowered , but not before Sehun caught the shame b in them. Looking at the order elf, memories flashed, memories he still didn't know how to deal or what to do with. Taegun had betrayed his parents alright, and he deserved to be punished for it. Hoseok had showed him a lot. Taegun had been childhood friends with Eunhyuk– something Sehun was already aware of. They were so close to the point romantic feelings became inevitable. Eunhyuk had been the one to propose the idea of joining their families. Taegun was so happy and naturally agreed to be Eunhyuk's betrothed. Taegun had loved Sehun's Hayrik with his all, and had dreamed of a beautiful life together. They were so in love with each other that nothing could shake their feelings for one another. That was until Donghae came into picture, a human that crash landed on Lyfe. Coincidentally, Donghae was Eunhyuk fated mate. That of course had changed everything.  Taegun had to watch the love of his life, slowly fall out of love with him, while giving that love to another man. Worst he had to watch Eunhyuk getting married to someone else, something he never thought possible. To Taegun, Eunhyuk had been a significant part of his life, that he didn't know how to carry on without.  Killing one's self was considered the greatest sin in elfin culture, a race that believed all life was a gift. However Taegun had tried a couple of times to end his own life, but in the end he couldn't carry it out. Instead he left the capital for decades and only returned when he felt he could bear to live with the fact that Eunhyuk belonged to someone else. To keep close to Eunhyuk even though he knew he could never have him the way he wished, he took up the role of the royal chef, that he dedicated his life to. It was a few years later that he was introduced to Jungkook's Hayrik. Taegun only agreed to the union because it was Eunhyuk that chose the groom for him. Unexpectedly, he began falling in love with his husband, which had greatly helped to fill in the gaping hole in his heart. To him good things never last, he realized that when his husband suddenly died during childbirth. Leaving him with a baby and a new devastating impact on his heart. It was no surprise his world came crashing again. However that didn't stop him from raising his child well with love care, like a father should. Taegun had been through a lot, endured a lot. Sehun had seen and felt it all as though it were his emotions. On the other hand. After several miscarriages, a century and a half later Sehun was finally born. It was at that time Taegun went on a trip to Haba, where he met Heechul and his mage companion by chance– but Sehun could tell the meeting wasn't coincidental, it was intended by Heechul.  With magus Choi having seen through Taegun, they tempted him something very hard to resist. Have Eunhyuk all to himself. At first he did resisted for four years. Until Heechul threatened to find another way Into Lyfe. He vowed to kill Eunhyuk and Jungkook, the two most precious people to Taegun and that had the elf wavered . "You don't have to do much. Just tell us something, anything that would make our invasion easier." Heechul had said. "And I promise you, those two people wouldn't be harmed." "What about the boy? Eunhyuk's son?" Taegun had asked. "I wouldn't harm a child." Heechul smiled, someone that didn't know him would think he genuinely meant his words. "You want the human out of the way, do you not?"  Taegun hesitate before he nodded."Yes, but what are going to do to him?" "Kill–" "No don't kill him, just send him somewhere far, where Eunhyuk can't feel him." "You fool–" Heechul began to say but his mage companion stopped him.  "What about the common people? Are you going to harm them?" "Why would I? They are allowed to continue with their lives unaffected. All i want is to have access to Lyfe magic and help my people." "You swear it?" "Of course. I do." A person in love was a truly a fool. Taegun had been blinded by his obsession for Eunhyuk that he was unable to see through the deception so clear a child could see. Heechul was lying and only using him. "Alright we have an agreement. We'll do as you wished. Now tell us what we need to know." And he did. He told them about the festival, that take place every decade when the two moons aligned, that fortunately for them was a couple of years away. He told them what they needed to watch out for, plus the layouts of the palace. They gave him a device to activate that would seal the elfin magic as well as the dragon's on the D day. And Taegun did as instructed. It was during the invasion that Taegun only realized what a great mistake he had made, and saw the true colors of the dragons. He realized Heechul didn't have intensions of spearing anyone or letting the elves remain on Lyfe as free people. Sehun didn't understand something though, why Taegun jumped to take a blade in place of Donghae, that would have killed him. Taegun's emotions were too complicated at that moment, it was hard to distinguish. After recovering, Taegun was forced to serve the dragons with his culinary skills, for years until Kai came of age, and took him away from the palace, to Storm. "We're In Logan. Captain." Pearl's voice brought him out of his thoughts. He blinked, tearing his eyes away from the elf, that still had his head lowered. "Logan." He repeated, gazing at Kai, that was looking between Sehun and Taegun with an understanding. It suddenly dawned on him. "You knew don't you?" Sehun asked, "all Taegun had done." Kai nodded. Sehun liked Kai for his honestly among many things. As long as he asked, Kai would always be honest with him."Mind reading is also part of my abilities like I told you yesterday. I do know. I felt his remorse, which was why I took pity on him." Yeah Sehun had felt that too. Taegun couldn't live with what he did, it was eating at him from the inside, like an eroding plague. "What do I do with him?" "What do you want to do Sehun." Kai asked back. "Honestly I don't know. Seeing him on the ship is hard knowing what he did, and sending him away doesn't feel right either. He's guilty but at same he was also a victim of Heechul's manipulation. For the first time Kai I don't know what to do with one of my own." Kai hummed. "we'll figure it later. Now let's get off and wait for the soldiers. Namjoon must have been aware of our ship crashing on his land–" "We're in Logan." Hyunjin suddenly exclaimed, arms spread. "Finally." He laughed happily.  "Yeah. I will use this opportunity to see Mina." Seokjin said with a smile as well, he seemed happy at same time wary of something Sehun couldn't tell. Behind the vampire, Sehun caught sight of his sisters talking to each other. He hadn't seen Lan Zhan and Wei Ying since the event that occurred in the medical bay. Were they still angry at him that they couldn't bear to stay any longer on his ship?  Having read his mind, Kai shook his head, taking a hold of Sehun's hands. "That's not it. They've left for Coaster Z last night." He told him. "But not because they're angry but because they wanted to give you some space to calm down. They asked me to take care of you before they leave." Sehun let out a sigh, once again feeling ashamed of his actions. He had things to fix with his foster parents, however that would have to wait another time since he couldn't fly to Coaster Z at the moment. Turning around, he saw his crew all stood, clearly waiting for his instructions. Not for the first time Sehun realized how many people relied on him. "Pearl what's the oxygen level of of our location?" Though he knew a lot about Logan but this was the first time he was here himself, he had wanted to come during Hyunjin's graduation but circumstances didn't let him. "Kai get the eggs." He whispered. Kai hummed before making his way to the study at same time Pearl began responding. "It defers Cap. For the werewolf Hyunjin it's hundred percent. For the dragon 98%, other were-creatures 90% percent. And for the rest including yourself, 89%." Sehun rolled his eyes. "You could have just said breathable for us all instead of going Into details, making my head spin." Pearl let out a sigh like a human would."Forgive me captain, I do not understand sentient emotions." In no time Kai was back, carrying the eggs in their nestler, with Zach, Lyla and their cubs trailing behind him. "Let me." Sehun said. Kai passed the eggs over, helping Sehun to strap the nestler in a way it would be comfortable for both father and eggs. With his mate and whelps close by, Sehun turned to the others."Let's move out." He told them, nodding at Baekhyun to open the doors.  Sehun and Kai intended to be the first to step out, in case there was a hidden danger, though very unlikely, however the Horas didn't let them. We'll be scouting the surroundings. Lyla sent, jumping out of the ship, along with her mate. They didn't take long to get back. "It's clear." Lyla said. Sehun, Kai and the Hora cubs stepped out.One after the other the crew members followed suit. For as far as his eyes could reach were only hills and tress. Looking behind the ship were crushed trees, that they used to minimize their descend. Watching the fallen trees, his instinct took over. Unable to help it, Sehun stepped forward. With both hands stretched out, he called upon his elfin magic and sent it into the trees. One by one the trees stood on their own, instantly regaining vitality.  Grateful to Sehun, the trees bowed at him in sync. "We're indebted to you elf." They said  before straightened. With a smile he bowed back. Turning around, his smile faded when he found Kai watching him with admiration and respect, that had Sehun ducking his head, suddenly embarrassed. Not just Kai, but all others had stopped what they were doing to look at him in awe. The elves had a look of understanding. Jimin was one of those, however he averted his gaze the moment they locked eyes. Another mess he needed to fix. Sehun reminded himself. Not liking being the center of attention, Sehun scratched the back his head, hopping from one foot to another, while wrapping a hand around his eggs. "Your hoard is here right?" If he remembered correctly, It was on Logan that Hyunjin stumbled into Kai's hoard. He wanted to divert Kai's attention as well curious to know all the treasures his mate had gathered, however he wouldn't push if Kai didn't want to talk about it. He knew how protective dragons could be of their hoards. Kai's eyes lit up, like a puppy would upon seeing their favorite treat."Correct, I would like to show you." "You want to show me your hoard?" Sehun, of course, knew the importance of a dragon offering to show his hoard’s hidden location to another, but doubted if many understood it. Only a dragon’s soulmate would ever be invited to visit the dragon’s hoard. Hoards were zealously guarded, and vehemently defended because they were the means by which a dragon’s worth and consequent standing in the community was measured. Many dragons even refused their mates and children access to their hoards. "So, what's your hoard like?" Sehun finally asked, catching the sight of Baekhyun dragging Jimin to the side while Chanyeol followed the two like a puppy. The cyborg gestured at Sehun, then to Jimin, saying something Sehun couldn't catch. However he could guess, his friend was trying to fix Sehun's mess. Though he was grateful, but he would prefer to be the one to apologize to Jimin. "It's very shiny." Kai's said, getting Sehun's attention back. "I have a lot of blue gemstone. There's this one in particular in a dark setting that would match your hair that I want to give you." Sehun had to contain a smirk at Kai's childlike enthusiasm. He wondered if it was a trait of all dragons to be so enamored with their hoards. Watching Kai like this, talk about his hoard had Sehun feeling important to the dragon. He didn't know when his fingers found Kai's beard, touching him lovingly and that had Sehun's heart racing when he realized what he was doing.  Damn it all, he hungered to hold Kai close. To make him smile—grin—hear him laugh, watch him tend to their eggs, listen to him speak about the most mundane things. He hungered to know Kai in a way he’d never wanted to know another. Never wanted to protect another. Galaxy help him, Sehun had thought he was falling for Kai before, but now gazing into those laughing golden eyes, he knew the truth: he hadn’t just fallen, he’d plummeted. The realization stabbed through him and the queasiness tried to return, but Sehun refused to let it. Not liking the vulnerability he felt. all of a sudden, Sehun glanced away and continued to sift his fingers through the silken hair on Kai's chin.  The sound of aircraft approaching caught his attention. Glancing up, half dozen shutters were hovering. They were probably in the process of identifying Sehun and his crew. With a grin, Hyunjin stepped forward, raising a hand, making some sort of gesture that Sehun didn't know what it could possibly mean. The people must have understood the gesture, because the shutters lights flashed, then landed. "Stay close." Sehun said to his crew, that instantly came to gather behind him. The Horas took a stance in front of them, ready to lunged if need be. Even the cubs had their tiny claws out, tails raised, all four in front of Sehun, even Kil had joined this time. They were trying to protect the eggs, Sehun realized. So ing cute. Werewolves jumped out of the shutters, some in animal form, while some in human form. They stood in formation, the animals at the front while, the humans stayed behind them weapons in hand but not raised. A young blond male in military garb stepped forward. He scanned Sehun's group with sharp eyes, until he spotted Hyunjin. With a smile he came running toward Hyunjin, that met him half way in a tight embrace.  "Felix." The Hyunjin exclaimed, wrapping his arms around the smaller male. "Good to see you too." The soldier named Felix said. He surprisingly had a deep voice, a contrast to his cute look. Rubbing his nose against Hyunjin's neck, Felix let out a laugh. They seemed to be very close for him to scent mark Hyunjin like he was family. "The guys have missed you a lot, Han had taken your bunk for himself." Sehun sometimes forget Hyunjin was a trained soldier. This Felix was clearly his comrade, judging form the way they interact. Now that he think of it, Hyunjin had mentioned a boy named Felix a few times. " I miss them too, all of you." A hand came to smack the back of Hyunjin's head. Despite his size, Felix carried himself like a real soldier. He didn't seem afraid of Hyunjin that was taller and bigger. Sehun decided he liked this young soldier. Beside him Kai let out a growl that had Sehun rolling his eyes. "I like you the most Drake. Rest assured" he said, and that earned him a smile from his mate. "You and your foul mouth." Felix said with a fond shake of his head, he tighten his hold as though never wanting to path with Hyunjin. Their interaction reminded Sehun of his parents. His sire had a foul mouth, while his Hayrik tried to keep him in check. He didn't feel pain like he did in the past at the thought of his parents. Now he knew it was only a matter of time before he meet them again. They were both alive. "You love me with my foul mouth,all the same." Hyunjin laughed, breaking the hug as he brought a hand to run it through Felix's hair. Something flickered in Felix's eyes as he nodded. Something familiar, that Sehun recognized all too well when he looked at himself in the mirror these days while thinking about Kai. "I do." He smiled. Oh boy. This Felix had feelings for Hyunjin. Deep strong romantic feelings. Sehun doubted Hyunjin know, the boy could be as dense as ice, for the most part. Watching Hyunjin rubbing his thumbs down Felix's face, Sehun could tell Hyunjin care about the other wolf, h
