There was a forbidden chamber in the highest tower of the castle sn grew up in. A chamber only the king, sn's father, had access to. no one knew what or who was in that chamber but the doors were locked and secured at all times,
There was a forbidden chamber in the highest tower of the castle sn grew up in. A chamber only the king, sn's father, had access to. no one knew what or who was in that chamber but the doors were locked and secured at all times,
2
Sn was curious about the secret chamber eversince he became aware of it's existence and the hushed whispered rumors that surrounded it, always asking his father what was hidden inside since young age and always getting the same answer:
3
"once you come of age,you will understand. Just know that what lies within is vital to our family and the kingdom's prosperity."
It did nothing to subdue his curiosity and it didn't help that no one but his father knew anything about the mysterious chamber, not even his mother
It did nothing to subdue his curiosity and it didn't help that no one but his father knew anything about the mysterious chamber, not even his mother
4
So he snuck around on his little feet and followed his father quietly one rainy evening as he went up to the highest tower, watching closely as he unlocked the many locks on the chambers heavy door and went inside,
5
He stayed hidden for a while and listened closely, waiting for at least a sound but heard nothing. He was getting bored and losing interest and was about to leave when a quiet pained whimper reached his ears over the sound of the pouring rain, stunning him into place,
6
He heard his father's angry voice barking at whatever was inside but it wasn't clear enough for sn to understand a word, but what shook him to the core and made him shrink on himself was the loud wounded scream that followed,
7
He ran back to his room, shivering and hid under his blanket that night and never asked about the room ever again.
However he made a delicate plan to steal his father's keys, the keys that lead him to the secret chamber,the chamber that seemed to have darker secrets than anyone

8
Have ever guessed.
It took time but he could finally sneak close enough to get the key, and he sneaked back to the highest tower with shaking legs, dead in the night.
He unlocked the many locks as quietly as he could manage and took a cautious look inside,

He unlocked the many locks as quietly as he could manage and took a cautious look inside,
9
It looked like a normal royal chamber, with normal golden furniture, many lit candles and nothing out of place.
So he dared to step inside and take a better look around but found nothing odd other than the person that was lying on the big bed ,
So he dared to step inside and take a better look around but found nothing odd other than the person that was lying on the big bed ,
10
He approached the bed quietly,warily,until he could see the young man that was asleep under the white sheets,
What struck him wasn't how beautiful and otherworldly he looked,it was how pale and sickly he seemed to be,
his forehead glistening with sweat and his breaths shallow,
What struck him wasn't how beautiful and otherworldly he looked,it was how pale and sickly he seemed to be,
his forehead glistening with sweat and his breaths shallow,
11
What struck him was how his legs were wrapped in heavy chains.
He didn't seem harmed, he just seemed sick. So very sick.
Sn didn't know how long he stood there in shock before he moved to bring a cold, wet towel to put on the sick boy's forehead, whipping the sweat off his face,

Sn didn't know how long he stood there in shock before he moved to bring a cold, wet towel to put on the sick boy's forehead, whipping the sweat off his face,
12
He didn't know how long he stayed and tended to the boy before he finally stirred and opened his eyes,
Eyes that were glowing in a bright golden color in the dimly lit room.
Sn's instincts screamed at him to run away as the boy kept on staring at him but he swallowed his fear and

13
Kept tending to the young man, but the more he stayed the more venom gathered in the young man's eyes, like sn was the reason he was in this state,
S: I'm sn, i don't mean any harm... You seemed ill, i just want to help
S: I'm sn, i don't mean any harm... You seemed ill, i just want to help
14
The sick boy's nose flared once before he hissed: you're of his blood,
The poison his gruff voice had sn's little body shaking, and he found himself shrinking under his stare:I don't know what my father did to you, he never tells me anything but i don't want to hurt you i swear
The poison his gruff voice had sn's little body shaking, and he found himself shrinking under his stare:I don't know what my father did to you, he never tells me anything but i don't want to hurt you i swear
15
The young man struggled to sit up, his limbs too weak to support him:you're of his blood... Let me go, set me free... Don't bring this curse upon yourself... Set me free
He grabbed sn's wrist with all the strength that was left in him but that made sn jump back,
He grabbed sn's wrist with all the strength that was left in him but that made sn jump back,
16
S: I'm really sorry, i-i don't know how... I don't have the keys...i shouldn't be here
He said as tears gathered in his eyes, stepping back and backing away towards the door when the young man reached his bony fingers towards him again with pleading eyes

17
Sn really didn't want to lock up the door when he ran out but he didn't think the boy could run away when the chains were still tying him down.
So he locked it up like he had seen his father do and ran back to his room, but the imagines of golden eyes and chains hunted him
So he locked it up like he had seen his father do and ran back to his room, but the imagines of golden eyes and chains hunted him
18
He tried to make excuses for his father whenever he saw him from then on, he tried to not come to a rushed conclusion but he couldn't help the mixed feeling and the anxiety that took over him whenever he was near his father,
Maybe the boy's sickness was contagious and that was
Maybe the boy's sickness was contagious and that was
19
Why he had to be separated from everyone else, but if it really was true then why did his father was the only one that visited him every now and then?
It also didn't explain the chains and the boy's words,
'set me free'
He had asked,
It also didn't explain the chains and the boy's words,

20
Sn tried to stay away, he tried to forget all about it and yet golden eyes were all he could think about.
What if the boy really needed help?What if his father was really hurting the boy?What if...?
He asked the cook to make his favorite soup so he could sneak away late night

He asked the cook to make his favorite soup so he could sneak away late night
21
And bring it to the boy.
He opened the heavy locks carefully once again in the dark, way past his bed time.
He found the boy sitting by the foot of the bed, on the ground, all curled up in himself, sn wasn't sure if he was awake... Or even alive,
He opened the heavy locks carefully once again in the dark, way past his bed time.
He found the boy sitting by the foot of the bed, on the ground, all curled up in himself, sn wasn't sure if he was awake... Or even alive,
22
He put the soup bowl on the ground next to him and that stirred the boy, making him jolt and curl up in on himself in the corner even more, but his glowing eyes found sn quickly, locking in on him without blinking,
Sn tried not to flinch under his stare: Hi... I brought you
Sn tried not to flinch under his stare: Hi... I brought you
23
Something for your fever...The cook often makes this for me when I'm sick so i thought it might help you too
Sn blurted out carefully,not daring to move when the boy only observed him like a wounded animal: I'm sorry i ran away the last time I didn't even know someone was here,
Sn blurted out carefully,not daring to move when the boy only observed him like a wounded animal: I'm sorry i ran away the last time I didn't even know someone was here,
24
"you snuck in" he hears the boy say quietly "no one's ever snuck in here before"
Sn watched as the boy's sunken and red rimmed eyes blinked at him tiredly as he moved to face him fully, slowly
Sn: were you lonely?
Sn watched as the boy's sunken and red rimmed eyes blinked at him tiredly as he moved to face him fully, slowly
Sn: were you lonely?
25
The boy observes him like he's been shocked by the question before answering with his voice even quieter than before: "very"
Sn: I'll try to visit you as much as i can! But my father can't know,okay?
"He doesn't know you're here" the boy stated leaning in towards him
Sn: I'll try to visit you as much as i can! But my father can't know,okay?
"He doesn't know you're here" the boy stated leaning in towards him
26
Sn: m-my father? no, please don't tell him, he'll get angry
"I won't" the boy said in a whispered promise and sn believed him immediately, sighing with relief and pushing the soup towards him, which the boy only eyed suspiciously before taking the spoon and taking a small sip
"I won't" the boy said in a whispered promise and sn believed him immediately, sighing with relief and pushing the soup towards him, which the boy only eyed suspiciously before taking the spoon and taking a small sip
27
As an acceptance of sn's little token of good will,but he starts coughing and throwing up the second he swallows the first sip,
Sn: what is it?! Is it bad? Is it salty?
San hurried to try the soup himself but it tasted just fine,
"Meat..."The boy said in between his coughing fit
Sn: what is it?! Is it bad? Is it salty?
San hurried to try the soup himself but it tasted just fine,
"Meat..."The boy said in between his coughing fit
28
That seemed to be painful as he doubled over,
Sn: did you choke on the meat?
He asked, still confused and worried,
"Can't have meat"
Sn: oh! I'm sorry I won't bring you anything with meat in it next time, i promise i didn't know it will hurt you!
Sn: did you choke on the meat?
He asked, still confused and worried,
"Can't have meat"
Sn: oh! I'm sorry I won't bring you anything with meat in it next time, i promise i didn't know it will hurt you!
29
"you'll come back again?" The boy asked with something sad in his voice,the heavy chains rattling with his every move, sn nodded, trying to assure him to make the sadness in his eyes go away.
Sn lied awake in his bed that night, a thousand questions swarming in his head,
Sn lied awake in his bed that night, a thousand questions swarming in his head,
30
He rushed back to the highest tower with a bowl of vegetable soup in his hand at earliest hours of the day, finding the boy still sitting on the cold ground by the bed, his eyes filled with dread until he saw sn approaching him,
He didn't throw up the soup this time around,
He didn't throw up the soup this time around,
31
And sn couldn't stop the way pride bloomed in his little heart, even though the boy couldn't seem to be able to finish the whole thing,
He watched as the boy moved towards the only window in his room then, the window that was decorated with heavy metal bars, he watched how

32
The thick chains around the boys ankles rattled with every slow step that he took, looking like he was about to fall to the ground with each step but kept himself upright,
Sn rushed to his side to help and he noticed how the boy seemed to have no nails,
Sn rushed to his side to help and he noticed how the boy seemed to have no nails,
33
However, the more he looked at his hands it dawned on him that it wasn't like he didn't have nails, it was more like his nails had been pulled out.
He helped the boy sit by the window, watching him satare longingly at the woods outside,

34
"i used to live there" the boy whispered wishfully,
Sn: in the north forest?
"Yes, it looks so close, doesn't it?"
Sn: people barely go there, they say it's dangerous
"It can be dangerous for some people,but its my home... And yet I'm stuck here"

Sn: people barely go there, they say it's dangerous
"It can be dangerous for some people,but its my home... And yet I'm stuck here"
35
Sn: do you miss your home?
The boy looked at him with soft golden eyes then, "Very, would you help me go back home sn?"
Sn: i-i want to... I don't know why my father keeps you here But It doesn't look right,
"Then don't follow his footsteps and set me free"
The boy looked at him with soft golden eyes then, "Very, would you help me go back home sn?"
Sn: i-i want to... I don't know why my father keeps you here But It doesn't look right,
"Then don't follow his footsteps and set me free"
36
Sn: i don't know how,
"These chains keep me weak and imprisoned, i can be free once I'm rid of them"
Sn: I'll look for the keys, i promise!
The boy smiles at him then, its a weak and sickly thing, its so sad but its still the most beautiful thing sn had ever witnessed,

37
Sn often sneaked back to the highest tower whenever he found a chance after that, he tried to be careful with it but he also didn't want the boy to feel so lonely all by himself up there even though he always seemed a bit suspicious of sn when he came inside the room quietly,
38
But he always ended up accepting the fruits sn had brought him, black berries were his favorite, sn had learned as he watched him taste them one by one while his pale lips gained color,
Sn also learned that the boy really liked the little cone that he had found under

39
The pine trees near the forest on his quest outside of the castle, sn had specifically picked one to bring back to the boy, remembering what he had said about the forest being his home,
And he thanked sn for the first time that day, called him snie for the first time too as he

Held the little cone close to his chest,he also told sn his name that day.
Wy, his name was wy.

It made sn so happy to be trusted by wy and it even made him more persistent in finding the keys to wy's freedom even if the search wasn't going well at all,he never found a key that
41
Could match the chains on wy's feet.
One night, when was sn sitting on wy's bed talking quietly about his day to keep wy entertained, they heard the sound of heavy footsteps approaching and wy urged him to hide under the bed, looking just as scared of sn himself,

42
"you're out of the bed i see, feeling strong enough to fight me Tonight?"
Sn heared his father say,it made all the hairs on his body stand on end and his heart to beat loudly in his ears
"What do you want?"Wy hissed with venom in his tone
"Nothing out of the ordinary,get here"

"Nothing out of the ordinary,get here"
43
Sn could see wy's bare feet rooted by the bed, not moving an inch, "Tomorrow, I'll give it to you tomorrow if you leave me alone tonight"
Wy protested weakly, almost pleading.
"I said get here, don't be difficult" the king demanded,
Wy protested weakly, almost pleading.
"I said get here, don't be difficult" the king demanded,
44
"can't you spare me just one time?"Wy said,his voice taking an angry turn,
"Beasts like you don't get to make demands"sn heard his father spit out before the sound of struggle and chains dragging on the ground filled the room,
"No!Don't... I'll give it to you,just don't please"
"Beasts like you don't get to make demands"sn heard his father spit out before the sound of struggle and chains dragging on the ground filled the room,
"No!Don't... I'll give it to you,just don't please"
45
Wy pleaded before whimpering and sniffling loudly, like he was already crying.
"See?It doesn't have to be difficult every time"sn curled on himself every time the king talked
"You wretched foul hearted pathetic little man"wy hissed brokenly,
"See?It doesn't have to be difficult every time"sn curled on himself every time the king talked
"You wretched foul hearted pathetic little man"wy hissed brokenly,
46
"I'll tear your rotten soul to pieces and burn it all eternity" wy went on cursing,
"Who opened your door before I come here?" The king asked, but the only thing that left wy's mouth was more venomus curses,
"Who opened your door before I come here?" The king asked, but the only thing that left wy's mouth was more venomus curses,
47
The king's interrogation went on for a while but so did wy's curses, but he never gave up who had his door unlocked, it went on until the king gave up and left the room, leaving both wy and sn trembling for different and same reasons,
Sn stayed hidden and shaking until
Sn stayed hidden and shaking until
48
He heard wy saying, "he shouldn't find you here, you should leave"
Sn crawled out with eyes wet with fear, finding wy paler than ever by the golden sink in the corner of the room,"he's hurting you...why is he hurting you?why does he call you beast?"
Sn crawled out with eyes wet with fear, finding wy paler than ever by the golden sink in the corner of the room,"he's hurting you...why is he hurting you?why does he call you beast?"
49
"and he's cruel enough to hurt you too once he finds you here,now leave" wy barked at him and sn left the room with tears in his eyes,
But his night didn't end there when he found his father waiting in his room.
His father was no fool and he was just as cruel as wy said he'd be,
But his night didn't end there when he found his father waiting in his room.
His father was no fool and he was just as cruel as wy said he'd be,
50
Sn didn't cry when he sat at the breakfast table with a bruised face the next day.
He knew what he had to do.
He had to play the role of the obedient son for his father to trust him again, he had to pretend to become what he wanted him to be,
He knew what he had to do.
He had to play the role of the obedient son for his father to trust him again, he had to pretend to become what he wanted him to be,
51
he had to hang in there until he was old enough to be let in on the secret about what was going down in their family,
He just had to hope for his father to not hurt wy more in the meantime and not go crazy as the golden eyed boy consumed his every thought,
He just had to hope for his father to not hurt wy more in the meantime and not go crazy as the golden eyed boy consumed his every thought,
52
Years went on slowly as sn inched closer to eighteen, but he played his role perfectly, he listened, he asked no questions and he followed orders like a good son.
And it paid off when his father finally took him to the highest tower, so sure of sn's competence to be as cruel as

53
He, himself was.
And sn waited impatiently with his heart in his throat as the king unlocked the door to wy's chamber.
Wy looked exactly the same sitting on the chair by the window,maybe he was even prettier than what sn remembered but he was just the same,

Wy looked exactly the same sitting on the chair by the window,maybe he was even prettier than what sn remembered but he was just the same,
54
still pale and ill looking but not a day older than before. It's been years since he had seen the golden eyed boy.
Years.
He felt so ashamed of himself when wy's eyes stopped on him, he felt so much shame for not being able to come back after that day, for not being able to
Years.
He felt so ashamed of himself when wy's eyes stopped on him, he felt so much shame for not being able to come back after that day, for not being able to
55
Bring him his favorite black berries when they were in season, for not being able to give him all the cones he had gathered for him.
Sn had grown up so much in those years but wy was in the same state, only because sn didn't have enough power to get to him faster, to set him free
Sn had grown up so much in those years but wy was in the same state, only because sn didn't have enough power to get to him faster, to set him free
56
Maybe the only difference was that now,wy had chains even around his wrists too
"Your great great great grandfather captured him in a legendary hunt in the north forest,they say he was a magnificent beast back then"
Sn could barely hide the way his hands shook as the king talked

Sn could barely hide the way his hands shook as the king talked
57
"the wings and the horns in the throne room are taken from him and his mother,his mother had to be taken down of course but they captured him successfully cause he was young,"
Sn wanted to throw up as the king explained proudly,wy's tired unreadable eyes never left his face,
Sn wanted to throw up as the king explained proudly,wy's tired unreadable eyes never left his face,
58
"they call him a kirin in the old stories but that doesn't matter. he is to serve you as he served me and the kings before you. He is to bring luck and prosperity to our Kingdom like he did all these years, and for that you must take his tears"
59
Sn felt sick to his stomach, he had seen the horns and the wings in the throne room countless times, they were known as the symbol of their kingdom, symbol of their fortunate and powerful nation.
to know they were taken by force form living creatures, to know that wy was held
to know they were taken by force form living creatures, to know that wy was held
60
Captive and tortured for so many years, made him so angry, it made him want to lash out at the king but wy's words brought him back to the moment,
"Have you got no shame for what you've done to me and my kind? Aren't you afraid of the curse i put on your soul as i did to your
"Have you got no shame for what you've done to me and my kind? Aren't you afraid of the curse i put on your soul as i did to your
61
Father, and his father along with his father before that?"
"You're my servant and you'll give me what i demand of you" the king barked at him
"I'm no servant of you or anyone else! You took from me by force,you kept me in chains for years,does your greed know no end?"wy blurted
"You're my servant and you'll give me what i demand of you" the king barked at him
"I'm no servant of you or anyone else! You took from me by force,you kept me in chains for years,does your greed know no end?"wy blurted
62
The king turned to sn then,"as you can see he'll not give his tears willingly,you can take them however you must but don't make him bleed, it will take forever to heal and we can't let him die"
He gave sn a small glass bottle then, expecting him to be the one to take wy's tears
He gave sn a small glass bottle then, expecting him to be the one to take wy's tears
63
Sn couldn't bring himself to take the bottle, he couldn't bring himself to move at all, the thought of 'making' wy shed tears was so wrong,so cruel.
"There must be other ways..." Sn began but the king wasn't patient, he didn't wait any longer as he went to grab wy by the hair
"There must be other ways..." Sn began but the king wasn't patient, he didn't wait any longer as he went to grab wy by the hair
64
Making the boy gasp in pain and grab at his wrist, but he had no nails to bring any harm to the king.
The harsh treatment made sn jump between them,
"No father! wait I'll do it"
Sn said without knowing what he was doing, but he could make the king let go of wy for now

65
He snatched the bottle from the king's hand when he didn't seem convinced,
"Could you give me some space?... I should be able to do this by myself, shouldn't i?" Sn tried and turned to cover the king's view of wy with his body when he finally took a few steps to sit at the back
"Could you give me some space?... I should be able to do this by myself, shouldn't i?" Sn tried and turned to cover the king's view of wy with his body when he finally took a few steps to sit at the back
66
Wy was looking up at him with disbelief but there was no hatred in his gaze like it was when he looked at the king,
"Please..." Sn pleaded quietly between them, letting despair finally show on his face as he reached to touch wy's hair gently,to soothe the pain his father caused
"Please..." Sn pleaded quietly between them, letting despair finally show on his face as he reached to touch wy's hair gently,to soothe the pain his father caused
67
Wy flinched under his touch violently, a chocking sound leaving his throat as he grabbed at sn's wrist to stop him,
"The wounds of his horns on his head and the wings on his back never healed so use that as leverage" the king instructed and sn could see the fear in wy's eyes as

68
His hold on sn's wrist tightened but sn's hand went limb in wy's hold when the new information hit him deep in his heart.
All this time, his father was pushing on wy's open wounds to make him cry, to make him suffer.
Wy's hold on his wrist loosened when sn didn't apply pressure

Wy's hold on his wrist loosened when sn didn't apply pressure
69
Something must've dawned on him too upon witnessing the look on sn's face when his fearful eyes turned sad,
he tilted his head towards the bottle in sn's frozen hand, keeping his eyes fixed on sn while he let a single red tear fall into the bottle,
he tilted his head towards the bottle in sn's frozen hand, keeping his eyes fixed on sn while he let a single red tear fall into the bottle,
70
Sn was stunned into his place at the little crimson tear that rolled down the bottle,
he was filled with dread for becoming like his father, for taking from wy just like he did, for becoming despised by wy.
he was filled with dread for becoming like his father, for taking from wy just like he did, for becoming despised by wy.
71
He had to physically stop himself from strangling his father when he complimented him for getting the tear, saying that he thought sn would be too soft to be able to get it,
It would be so easy to draw his sword, sn thought, and he almost reached for it,
It would be so easy to draw his sword, sn thought, and he almost reached for it,
72
But the rational part of his brain reminded him that the nation won't accept a prince who slayed his father for power,
the king put the keys to wy's door on his palm, saying that the beast can be his responsibility and that he must take it seriously and not disappoint him.

73
His shaking legs carried him back to wy's door after he was left alone that night.
He found wy in the same place he was before, looking even more drained than before.
"Wasn't enough?" Wy asked weakly and sn kneeled before him, bowing his head down unti

74
Until his head touched the ground by wy's feet,
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Please forgive me for not being able to stop him, for not being able to get to you sooner, for taking form you like he does..."
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Please forgive me for not being able to stop him, for not being able to get to you sooner, for taking form you like he does..."
75
"are you going to follow suit in your father's footsteps?" Wy breathed quietly,
"No! I'd never... "
"Will you promise me?"
"I swear on my life, I'll find a way to stop this, I'll set you free"
"... I believe you,you still have the pure soul that i remember"
"No! I'd never... "
"Will you promise me?"

76
Sn visits him the next day and finds him the same as the day he first met him, looking sick and barely conscious, sweat covering his pale skin and his stunning golden eyes hardly managing to open.
He finds himself tending to wy with a wet towel all once again,repeating history,

It takes a few days for wy to come back to himself and for his fever to subdue.
It drained him of life whenever he shed a tear, sn figured, it all took too much from wy.
Every new thing that he learned made him more furious, made him more determined to find a solution faster,

Wy's trust towards him was still fragile, he wasn't as comfortable around sn as he used to be, but sn craved for their old familiar bond,
he wanted to be called 'snie' by him again, he wanted to witness that mesmerizing smile of his again,

He brings wy his little secret wooden box that was full of small cones and pretty stones from the forest, the box he had kept hidden all these years to be able to bring it to wy one day, hoping a piece of home might bring wy some comfort after days and days of being bedridden,
80
And it works, Wy's eyes light up upon seeing them:you got these from the forest!
S:yeah,it felt wrong to pick the ones on the trees,so i just gathered the already fallen ones.
Wy: i know! I can tell!
He announces brightly before looking down at sn, who was sitting on the ground

81
By his bed, watching his every reaction with hopeful eyes.
his smile is tired but it's bright when he reaches to touch sn's face in delight, like he couldn't stop himself from showing his joy in a physical way.
His touch against sn's skin is brief and his hand is clammy but sn

82
Wanted nothing more than to lean in to it, to collect it as a small victory, already missing it when wy takes his hand back and runs his fingers over the little cones,as though they were giving him life again.
Wy:you didn't forget about me,
S:of course i didn't,I just couldn't
Wy:you didn't forget about me,
S:of course i didn't,I just couldn't
83
Come see you after the king caught me sneaking.he put guards yo watch over me day and night, it was impossible to ditch them.
Wy:but you often went to the forest to get these for me?
S:i wasn't allowed to go there alone either,i only went whenever the king wanted to hunt there,

84
Wy:did he haunt a lot?
There was concern in wy's voice again, worry for his home and sn was curious if he still had family left in the forest,
Sn: no,its mostly for show off,they don't go deep in the forest.
Wy: they were deep in the forest on a haunt the day they captured me,

85
My mother tried to fight them but we aren't meant to cause harm to living creatures...it was my fault,i was too young and too reckless... I hope they had the decency to bury her body at least.
Sn bit his lip hard when wy explained. They didn't. sn knew cause he saw the
Sn bit his lip hard when wy explained. They didn't. sn knew cause he saw the
86
Magnificent skull of wy's mother in the forest whenever his father took him for a haunt. it was a symbol of their power, their greed and cruelty.
Sn promises himself to bury her skull once he becomes powerful enough, he won't let wy see the disrespect they show his mother,

Sn: your tears... Do they hurt?
Wy blinks at him slowly before he decides if he wants to answer or not: yes
Sn tries to not show the anger that simmered under his skin: I'm sorry you have to hurt in so many ways,you should be unobtainable like those gem stones in the most

treacherous peaks, well hidden where no one can touch you, you shouldn't be hurt like this, your tears shouldn't be taken from you like this.
Wy huffs out a small laugh: i wasn't aware that you become a poet over these years
S: well, you've always strike me as a bit of

Poetry yourself.
Sn wants to jest more, to make wy smile a bit more but he notices how his tiniest smiles turn so sad soo soon,
Sn: Can i take a look at your chains? I've been looking for their keys but i haven't found any yet.

90
Sn examines them after wy gives him a tiny nod,the chains on his hands are thin and new,he could remove them easily but the ones on wy's feet are unbelievably heavy, theyre rusty and are made of a material sn doesn't recognize,
What baffles him is that there's no keyhole on them,

91
Sn: there's no opening on these, how did they even put them around your feet?
He murmurs more to himself and wy pulls his legs back without an answer,
Sn: you said they keep you weak, correct?
Wy: yes
Sn: are they magic?
He was met with silence this time,

92
Sn tried again: how do i get them off you if there's no key for them?
And once more Wy didn't utter a word,
Sn: you said that I'm of his blood,that i can set you free, right?
Wy: yes
Sn: how can i do that?
Wy's silence greeted him again,

Sn regarded his hardened expression before asking his next question: are there certain things you cant talk about?
Wy's eyes softened this time, as though hoping sn would find his answer in his silence,and sn wondered if he could get more answers if he asked the right questions

94
He wondered if there really was any dark magic involved, it was obsoleted in their kingdom ages ago but it was entirely possible that there were still traces of it left behind, and if that was the case, it was very hard to find someone who knew how to deal with it,
95
The king finally decided to throw a ceremony to officially declare his heir as the crown's desegregated, but all sn could think about throughout the ball was how to sneak away and get to wy to open the chains on his hands with the keys he obtained,
96
All that occupied his thoughts were the lonely boy in the highest tower, wondering if he liked all the gold and glamour of these kinds of balls, if he relished in dancing, if he enjoyed dressing up and drinking, what kind of garments he preferred, what kind of jewelry he'd
97
Choose to wear, or if he despised all of this.
He finally managed to leave the ballroom late into the night when everyone were too busy and drunk to notice,
Opening wy's door carefully to not stir him in case he was resting, but he finds him awake, sitting on the bed,

98
His room lit with moonlight rather than candle lights, blue hues of the moon giving his soft skin and long dark hair an enchanting glow,
Sn: is the music keeping you up?
Wy offered him a faint smile: no, i like music. Besides its not like i do much besides sleep so

Whats a few hours of losing it?
Sn's face brightened with a boyish eagerness: you do? Do you dance too? Will you dance with me?
Sn blinked at him, eyes wide with surprise as sn swayed close to him with a playfulness to his steps: you want to... Dance with me?

Sn nodded earnestly, excitement evidence in his face: yes! If you'd like to!
Wy's lips curled up in amusement at sn's giddiness: i wouldn't know the steps...
Sn: its already a great start that you do dance! I can teach you the steps, its pretty simple,

He offered his hands and wy only hesitated a moment before slipping his hands into sn's. the second he does, something clicks and the chains around his wrists fall to the ground between them,
Sn:sorry it took too long to open these, promise I'll figure out the other one's soon.
