OF LOST SOULS AND POISONED HEARTS

Summary:

Kun, a young master of soul magic, is summoned to the imperial court to fight the vicious serpent demon together with three other masters. After meeting one of them under unfortunate circumstances, he quickly realizes that, despite Ten's intriguing personality, their different views might get in the way of their shared mission. Forced to work together, they must save humanity. The imperial court is in turmoil - and the snake demon is not the only one to blame. And what is it about the mysterious Xiaojun, who always suddenly appears on the scene?

Based on: The Yin Yang Masters - Dream of Eternity

Kpop Group: WayV (and some NCT members)

Author´s note:

This is going to be a really long story, I´ll try to update regularly. The inspiration was the combination of the really good movie and the fact that I miss WayV and haven´t read some cool stories about them in a while. This is Kun and Ten centric but all WayV and some NCT members appear. Thank you @d-p-f-m for helping me and being the best beta-reader. Love ya!

Pt. 1 - ◊ Coldness ◊

Snowflakes trickled softly to the ground. Complete silence surrounded them. There was no soul to be found, with the exception of the boy and the man. The expanse of the icy region spread far, almost endlessly around them. It was an area hostile to people. The boy looked at the man with wide eyes. He, who had his back turned to the boy, gesturing for him to continue. Silently, the boy closed his eyes and tried to calm his thoughts. Then, he gracefully folded his hands in front of his face. The two tips of his index fingers barely touched when they were encircled by a fine, shimmering golden band. They glistened slightly in the freezing winter air. Seconds passed, without the man turning around or the boy moving. The ribbon grew with time, until it finally came off his fingertips. It was a magical moment to watch the release of soul energy. It fluttered slightly in the cool wind. Then a jolt went through the ribbon and it curled into a circle. Barely closed, a flicker filled the air. He had made it that far last time, too. Just a little more. The flickering increased and small characters appeared in the circle, connecting with each other and forming an elaborate structure. No sooner had the boy finished the thought of finally completing the spell, the ribbon suddenly shattered and dissolved into a thousand tiny splinters. It was a fascinating sight, yet still … that was it. He had failed. Again. Discouraged, he lowered his gaze. Was it even possible for him to control soul energy? What was he doing wrong? Just then the man turned around and looked at the boy empathetically. He could understand him only too well, having felt those same doubts before, too. "Master, I still cannot perform the protection spell." The disappointment was plain to hear in the little boy's voice. "Kun, is there someone you would protect with your life?" Of course there was, Kun thought. The image of his mother had immediately flashed in his mind, the most important person in his life. "My mother." The memory of her warmed him and at the same time, it hurt immensely. "Then think of her." Kun nodded and clasped his hands again, his fingertips glistening and the bond formed anew. And just like the first time, the spell burst like a soap bubble. "Again," his master encouraged him. No sooner did the golden shards trickle to the floor than he told Kun to try again. Caught up in his thoughts, he heard his mother calling. She was calling for him, calling his name. Other voices joined in. Male voices. "Don't let the fox demoness' son escape. Get him!" "Run!" His mother's voice was high with fear, she could not lose her son. "Mum!" But the cry for his mother faded as quickly as the protective spell. Kun tried again. And again. Again and again. And again and again the band of the protection spell burst.
