A Song for the Eternal Ones
Episode 3 — The Dragon’s Bite
I barely slept after last night.
Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him—Lucian, with his golden eyes that burned into me.
His words wouldn’t leave my head:
But I told myself it was stress, hallucinations from exhaustion. Nothing more.
[Practice Building Rooftop, Midnight]
I stepped outside for fresh air.
The city lights glittered below, but the rooftop felt too quiet.
That’s when I heard footsteps.
A tall man appeared through the shadows.
His hair was a striking blend of purple and silver-grey, catching the moonlight like strands of fire and smoke.
His eyes—deep violet—locked onto mine, unblinking, piercing.

“So… you’re the little star who dared to sing their hymn.”
Jung Haneul
“Who… who are you?”
He smirked, fangs flashing as he stepped closer.
Kaien
“Kaien. Prince of Dragons. And unlike that golden-eyed parasite who touched you first…”
He reached me in an instant, pinning me against the cold wall with frightening strength.
His breath was hot against my skin.
Kaien
“I don’t waste time with words.”
Before I could react, he sank his fangs into my neck.
My voice cracked, a sharp gasp escaping as pain shot through me.
Heat flooded my body, overwhelming, terrifying, yet something inside me trembled with a strange pull toward him.
His grip tightened on my waist, his lips dragging against my skin as he drank—slow, deliberate.
Kaien
(low, husky): “Delicious. The taste of fate itself.”
I pushed at his chest weakly, but he didn’t budge.
My vision blurred, my knees weakening, when suddenly—
Lucian’s voice, sharp and furious:
Lucian
“Kaien. Get. Away. From him.”
Golden light flickered at the edge of the rooftop.
Lucian appeared, eyes glowing like fire, his presence suffocating.
Kaien released me at last, licking the blood from his lips, his violet eyes burning with amusement.
Kaien
“So the king came running. Tch. Don’t act like you own him. The star belongs to all of us.”
Lucian snarled, pulling me into his arms protectively.
My body trembled against him, too weak to fight either of them.
And this was only the beginning.
