#no white star

[caleism-1]

There are some strange rumors about a tall tower in the Forest of Darkness...

Notes:

Here is the backstory for this AU because I spent a stupid amount of time coming up with one.

The White Star isn't a thing here, so Birth of a Hero isn't a thing either. Kim Rok Soo just wakes up in a random guy's body and has no idea what is happening. He learns that this body is apparently the eldest son of a count, which means that he's the heir, right? So he immediately just jumps in and starts doing the paperwork and stuff, because he thinks he has no choice. This all happens a few years before TCF.

While taking a random walk around town, he comes across two starving kittens and takes them back to the estate because 'it would look good if the future count was seen caring about two helpless creatures'.

He also hears from his acquaintances *cough* spies *cough* that Venion Stan was acting weird, and goes to check what was up. He manages to break out a two year old Raon with the help of the cats, Ron, and Beacrox. Raon acts like he did in canon and follows Cale around, and Cale reacts like in canon and adopts him.

One day Deruth brings up changing the heir from Basen back to him, and he goes "Wait what??" and basically just nopes out of the situation upon realizing he can dump all the work on Basen instead. He builds himself a big, strong tower that he can slack around in for the rest of his life, and takes Raon, On, Hong, Ron, and Beacrox with him to live there.

One day, Choi Han stumbles upon the tower (it is canon that CH explored every part of the Forest of Darkness before he found Harris Village, so if there was a tower in the Forest of Darkness, he would have found it first). Cale takes one look at him, dunks him in a bath, feeds him, and declares him to be his bodyguard.

To gain more experience in protecting things, CH becomes the guard for a merchant carriage, which is when he meets Rosalyn (who is on the run like in canon) and Lock (who was told to go get more experience by his uncle. Since Arm isn't a thing, the village wasn't wiped out either) and brings them back with him.

Cale settles down in the tower and just accepts all these new people randomly coming into his life (Alberu included). He starts a small farm to keep his promise to the team leader and Choi Jung Soo.

Eventually, Alberu learns of another dragon named Eruhaben. Raon goes to learn from him for a few months, then drags Goldie Gramps back with him to the tower.

my final from last semester that i made into a zine. cooked this one up in a couple hours before the critique (the ink was still wet!), so it's very raw and kind of sloppy but the sentiment is there. i love you trans people of color. we are the backbone of this community 🌟

yq design for nostalgic chill! he's two years older than canon, so he's a little larger and more confident.

on topic of things that are plaguing my mind this evening is that dozen of completely normal looking office chairs, on wheels nonetheless, they brought out of nowhere and set up in the middle of a hangar in season 1 just for a 5 minute debrief
