Healer

Reunited

That day was particualrly cold and windy. I came back from the library to find the boys in the Throne room sitting around discussing some stuff, I looked around and I noticed Seoho who was dozzing off, his body sinking into the chair while his legs laid on the table

"Guys can you turn it down ?" he said gaining a scoff from Keonhee "If you want to sleep go to your room" the boy sounding as cold as always "No I mean it" he stood up taking few steps to the window "Shut up all of you" I have never seen Seoho this alarmed before and everyone just froze "Can't you hear that ?" he asked again

Ravn took few steps next to the younger "Hear what Seoho ?"

"That ... Ah-" Seoho clutched his head leaning down to his knees feeling the sharp pain in the back of his head, Ravn being close to him quickly caught him helping him up "The sea, the water" he said "It's calling ... it's ... screaming at me"

The ocean was screaming at him ?

Seoho connects with the water that's his gift, he often says that the water whispered things to him, it tells him about storms or where the fishermen have to go today or if it had witnessed something. The water is always running, and as it runs by, it witnesses things and it tells all its secrets to Seoho. I always wondered how the boy was able to comprehend what the ocean told him, the stories the water had must be endless and the whispering inside his head must feel like a bee hive inside of him but Seoho seemed to have a great control over it ... until today.

Seoho was falling to his knees, the whispers turned to screams and it was ovbous that something has happened, something that the ocean had to make sure to tell him about and it was screaming for Seoho at the top of its lungs, calling for him. Seoho stumbled on his own feet walking his way to the shore with Ravn and Leedo on his both sides and the others trailing behind him. It was windy and so cold outside, there was no storm but the water was agitated just like Seoho's mind right now. The moment his feet touched the tips of the water, Seoho fell to his knees, his hands in the sand and closed his eyes trying to focus.

And he suddenly pushed Ravn and Leedo away, he knew what was coming ... we didn't

A wave

Twice his hight came out of nowhere and suddenly just ... swallowed him

We have never seen anything like it ... at least I have never seen anything like it

"SEOHO?" Their alarmed voices started to raise when twenty seconds passed by and the younger was still under the water

Can he breath in there ?

Where did he go ?

Everyone was just standing there, Hwanwoong wanted to teleport himself inside the water and see if he can finds him but then ... just like the tide would become so low, the water retreated itself away from Seoho. The boy still on his knees, drenched in water, he breathed in so deeply when we tried to reach out for him and looked straight at Xion.

"He's alive" he said between his breaths "I know where he is, he's alive" holding into Leedo to stand up, Xion was still not sure about what the other was saying, there was only one person he could think about right now but even that seemed impossible after so long "Dongmyeong" Seoho finally said the one name that everyone was expecting "And there's someone else with him too"

Xion just froze, his eyes wide and it seems like no air was going in or out of his lungs, he knew that his brother was alive, he believed it for so long, they were twins, if one of them would leave this world, he would feel something inside of him right? but Xion just couldn't believe it. Drenched in cold water Seoho walked over to the younger "I know where he is Xion, let's go ... he's alive"

"I'll take you there, just tell me where they are" Hwanwoong asked, why walk there when you can teleport ? but even in Hwanwoong's weak state they weren't so sure, Hwanwoong couldn't maintain his powers for too long but I was there "You'll help me if I can't bring us back right ?" Hwanwoong didn't have to ask, of course I would and I nodded endlessly. They all held hands and in a blink of an eye we were there. I looked up, Hwanwoong seemed to be doing okay, Xion looking around dazed. It was a forest, we were surrounded by trees and it was almost dark, dead leafs covered the floor as we walked following Seoho, we were close he said "By the banks of the river"

Xion had no clue, I felt sorry for the younger he must have been very surprised and confused, it was all so sudden, we were doing fine the past few weeks and now this. I mean it's a good news, great news even but we had no idea what we were walking into. The river was only five minutes to the north, we finally arrived and started looking around. Keonhee being the one with extra senses "I smell blood" he said pointing into the direction and we followed, Ravn so alarmed, Leedo keeping a howk eye on Xion, the younger was very preplexed, Seoho and Keonhee led the way while Hwanwoong and I followed behind everyone.

And from a far we could see them

Two of them, two drenched figures, one laying on the hard dirty floor while the other hoovered on top of him obviously trying to wake him up.

As we got closer, the man noticed us and he immediately stood up in defense mode, the other behind him "Don't you dare take another step" he called from afar, even to the Klavyrie, the man seemed to be unknown "Identify yourself" he called "We are not here to hurt you" showing off his armor and the red velvet flag embroided on it and the other immediately recognised it. Keonhee took a step "Yonghoon ?" he whispered the name, unknown by the others but to his surprise he was right. Yonghoon took a hesistant step closer "Keonhee ?" ... "But I thought you were dead" the other looked so devestated, broken even, he fell to his knees with tears in his eyes "Save him" Yonghoon pledged "Please that's all I'm asking for"

Looking behind him, it was getting dark and Xion couldn't wait anymore he ran his way to his twin on the ground. Yonghoon not stopping anyone from getting closer anymore, he was hurt. The blood Keonhee smelled earlier wasn't coming from Dongmyeong but rather Yonghoon. Keonhee got closer to the injured boy on his knees eyes filled with concern and confusion "I thought you were dead too" Keonhee said before picking up Yonghoon off the ground.

Xion couldn't believe his world, his brother was in his arms, after so many years, he longed for this moment but he wasn't breathing, Dongmyeong was as cold as ice. So confused Xoin lit up fire all around them, anger and frustartion building up inside. He created a circle of fire around both of them and he violently started to shake Dongmyeong. All what he wanted was to wake him up, he can't die on him now that he finally found him, he can't leave him now that they are together.

Seeing the fire being lit up, Yonghoon knew exactly who the boy was. Dongmyeong wouldn't shut up about his twin brother and his gifts, he was clutching into Keonhee and breathing in deeply, the injury on his left abdomen was deeper than he thought. It was crazy, the atmosphere was crazy. I have never seen Xion so devestated and the fire was about to destroy the whole forest so I asked Hwanwoong to take me inside the circle where Xion was holding his brother in his arms screaming at him to open his eyes and breathe for him. I could help, I was confident, I did it before maybe I can do it for Dongmyeong too. This is what I have been studying for the whole time, my gift is to heal people so I needed to put it into use.

Finally getting insied the circle, I ran my way to Xion, his tears were already falling on his cheeks to his jaw, he was going crazy. When he noticed me kneeling next to him telling him to let me help, he looked at me with his doe eyes "Please" he begged "Save him" I put my hand on the other's forehead and my hands lit up, I was scanning him just like I did with Keonhee and I just knew. Dongmyeong had so much water in his lungs he couldn't breathe. I had to force the water out of his lungs somehow. I proceeded to his lungs and my hands lit up again I tried to press the water out, he was out of breaths for too long I don't know if this was going to work or not but I did it anyways and then ... he started caughing. Vomiting and caughing water, trying to catch his almost none existing breaths and he pushed me away. Probably scared but then he saw Xion.

The fire calmed itself down

Keonhee still holding into Yonghoon when Ravn finally got a hold of what was going on inside the circle, we were technically out of reach, Hwanwonng asked everyone to come closer. And just like we came into this place we were back to the castle again.
