"What are you doing?" Yeosang questioned, leaning up against the door frame of his room. It was the middle of the night now, the full moon hanging high up above the city of Del Mundo and it's supposedly sleeping residents.

Wooyoung stood in front of him with a sort of black cloak-like coat hanging over his shoulders, rocking back and forth on the heels of his shoes as he eagerly stared back at the drowsy silver prince.

The boy had woken up the boy from his comfortable slumber, knocking on the door much more aggressively than he had originally intended to. Though his forceful demands for the prince to open the door were responded to either way, so he didn't feel too bad about it.

Yeosang narrowed his eyes at him, quickly looking over his clothing and demeanor as the gears in his head began to turn in his head. After a few moments of silence, the silver prince spoke up again, "So, where are you going this time?"

"Moon River Valley," Wooyoung grinned, barely able to keep his excitement held within his body. The silver boy dug deep into his pockets, pulling out a small map he had stolen away from the palace's athenaeum and held it up to the small light that illuminated the hallway.

It was a much shorter scale version of Norta, or at least of Del Mundo and its surrounding inhabitants and locations. "I overheard someone from House Lee talking to my father right? They mentioned how they noticed something strange going on over there and knowing that they'll probably take it up with your parents, the whole thing will probably be pushed under the rug."

"So you want to go over there tonight and find out what it is for yourself?" The silver prince asked him, rolling his eyes when Wooyoung eagerly nodded his head in response. "First of all, it's Moon River Valley. Nothing is over there except for a bunch of reds and a dying river. Second of all, doesn't it take hours to reach that place on foot? You'll never make it back before the sun rises."

"Yeosang, are you stupid?" Wooyoung complained, shoving the map right back into his pocket. "If it was brought to my father, you know, one of the most powerful silvers of all the high houses beside House Kang, it's important? Whatever goes through that man will go to the king. And whatever goes to the king never sees the light of day."

The boy nodded his head in agreement, not finding any reason to refute his statement. "Why do you specifically want to know about it then? If you ask me this is kinda out of the blue."

Wooyoung glanced up from where he was with Yeosang, looking both ways down the halls for any sentinels that might be patrolling the palace at this hour. After confirmation that no one was coming their way, he leaned over to whisper in the silver prince's ear, "what if it's newbloods?"

"Are you crazy?" He responded, nearly shoving Wooyoung off of him in disbelief. "Newbloods? Really? There's no possible way that there are newbloods in Moon River, you remember what happened to all of them!"

The boy hushed the silver prince, needing him to keep his voice down so that he wouldn't be caught running around the palace at this hour. After a moment his shoulders slumped as he pressed his back up against the wall in frustration. "Yeah I remember, but you can't look at me and tell me it's true can you?"

A century or two ago, Wooyoung couldn't ever remember, the past king of Norta passed an act that had nearly changed the lives of millions of people that lived within its borders. He was believed to be a king who liked to look back on the history of Norta in all its faults and fall its merits and do what he believed was the correct way to handle things. The History Maker, he was called after passing a rather important act called The Purification Act.

See, while the king was known for his constant pondering of the past, he was also known for his large disdain for newbloods. His wife had eloped with one of these newbloods after bearing his children, and in a rage fueled fit he passed The Purification Act. He had mobilized Norta's army and commanded them to wrangle up every single newbloods within the borders of Norta and dump all of them into The Utopia.

There, he committed mass genocide on their kind and wiped the newblood population completely off the face of Norta.

This act was still in place today, even, even though newbloods were eradicated off of the face of Norta. If any newblood from any other kingdom, whether it was the Lakelands or not, they would be killed on the spot once discovered.

Yet it wouldn't be long till the Lakelands adopted this act for their own means, seeing as several rebellions have begun to rise in that country. So it's not an exaggeration to say that most silver and red children within Norta believed that newbloods didn't even exist anymore since not a single one of the new generation children had ever seen a newblood in their life.

"What other way is it but true?" Yeosang questioned him. "The newblood population is declining rapidly fast, they're been on the verge of extinction since the Lakelands began to participate in that madness. If you're going to the Moon River Valley to find one, you'll be disappointed by the results."

"I can still try though, don't you think?" Wooyoung replied, his eyes practically begging Yeosang to give him a satisfactory answer.

"No." The silver prince told him, his voice as cold as ice as he grabbed a hold of the door handle. "Now go to sleep Wooyoung before you send yourself on a wild goose chase."

In a panic he shoved his foot in between the door frame and the door itself, having Yeosang practically slam it into his foot without knowing. Wooyoung wheezed at the pain, his life flashing before his eyes as he crumbled to the ground and coddled his foot. He couldn't scream, not when the sentinels were patrolling the palace halls. He'd give his position away in under a second if he screamed the way he wanted to. So all the silver boy did was bite his lip and nearly sob at the throbbing, aching pain.

"Wooyoung, are you out of your mind?" The silver prince questioned, dropping to his knees and staring at Wooyoung with a worried expression on his face. "Why the hell would you do that?"

"Because I forgot to tell you," Wooyoung breathed, sucking in air as he tried to calm himself down and soothe the pain. "That Ryunjin was going to come along with me to Moon River Valley..."

"She is?" He quickly responded, standing up again to dust himself off. The silver prince completely ignored Wooyoung rocking on the ground as he peered down the hallway, trying to spot the House Han daughter in the dimly lit lights. "Ryunjin is going with you?"

"Yes," The silver boy lied, standing up once more after he recovered from his momentary shock and pain. In reality, he was trying to get Yeosang to come with him for a sense of back up and to get him away from all the royal mess he had been forced to involve himself in, but he didn't need to know that.

All Wooyoung knew is that if it involved the shadow girl, the silver prince was immediately on board with anything thrown his way. "Ryunjin is coming with me so she can sneak me out of the palace."

"Oh..." He nodded, playing with a strand of his shaggy hair and rocking back and forth on his heels in a very childish manner. "Well, I mean... I'm not saying I wouldn't go to Moon River Valley... but I'd be in really big trouble if the sun rises and I'm not here. You know my parents will declare a state of emergency if I'm not within the palace walls when they're not watching."

Wooyoung scoffed at his quick change in demeanor, knowing that once Yeosang found out that the House Han daughter wasn't really joining them he'd flip a switch on him immediately. "You're pathetic."

"Shut up," Yeosang cursed, punching the boy's shoulder in frustration. "Anyways this still doesn't solve your transportation problem, you know that right?"

"Well, I was kinda hoping we'd stowaway in some random guy's cargo? I know there are a few people who were going to travel into Moon River Valley tonight so I thought—"

"Who is going to Moon River Valley?" Yeosang asked, his voice suddenly strained with seriousness. When Wooyoung only shrugged in response to his question, the boy sighed. "Wooyoung, no one just goes into Moon River Valley without a reason? The fact that you overheard someone talking about it makes that even more worrisome."

"Maybe it's a newbloods trying to run away to the red villages without being caught?" He fantasized, imagining all the scenarios that could happen if the two of them encouraged some of the last newbloods in the world. Though when Yeosang didn't seem to share the same excitement, Wooyoung groaned in frustration.

"Come on Yeosang, stop worrying so much!" Wooyoung complained, "Just treat this as... as a vacation to a new place you've never been before. Lots of mysteries, lots of excitement, lots of new experiences! Plus... no king and queen to drag you around the palace, don't you think?"

The silver prince staring at Wooyoung for a moment, his conflicted feelings swirling through his eyes before he finally let out a sigh. "Wait here." The silver boy nodded his head in response, finally allowing Yeosang to turn and walk back into the room without stopping him. He stayed silent for a moment before silently cheering to himself and congratulating himself on getting the prince to agree to come along.

Step one, have Yeosang join him on his nighttime adventure, was complete. Now it was time to move into step two, moving the prince out of the palace without the sentinels catching them.

It was going to be arguably the hardest part of his plan to run around Moon River Valley aside from transporting them back to the palace before the sun rose and someone noticed the two of them were gone. Though Wooyoung was up for the challenge, anything was worth it if it meant that Yeosang would get a break from his princely duties to have fun. That's what being a friend was for, after all, forcing your friends to have fun even when they weren't supposed to.

"Yes, who is the best friend in the whole wide world?" Wooyoung sang to himself, patting himself on the back for his accomplishments. "Me, Jung Wooyoung, is the best friend in the whole wide— Ryunjin!" He screamed, quickly covering his mouth as soon as the words flew out his mouth.

The House Han girl was slowly phasing into existence in the dim light, giving Wooyoung a knowing stare as she played with the hem of her nightgown nonchalantly. "What have you done this time?"

"Just blew my cover, that's what I've done." He hissed, his brain beginning to turn its gears in his panicked state. There was no way the sentinels didn't hear Wooyoung nearly scream bloody murder down the hall, so it was a matter of time before they came running towards the silver prince's direction to check on him. Despite the boy's sense of urgency in the situation, Ryunjin didn't seem to budge from where she stood.

In fact, her eyes were narrowed and staring straight at Wooyoung's attire. She took note of the heavy-duty boots that were tied on his feet, the black cloak that covered a majority of his torso to at least his knees, and the small paper map that was sticking out like a sore thumb underneath the fabric of his cloak. Ryunjin frowned as she grabbed a hold of his ear, her grip tight around it as her eyes scanned the array of metal earrings that dotted it. "Where the hell are you going? In the middle of the night even?"

"Nowhere if the sentinels catch me!" He answered in a harsh tone, both of them turning down the hall once the rumbling of hasty footsteps coming towards them. Oh, this was a terrible situation he found himself in.

In the heat of the moment, Ryunjin held out her hand to him and demanded, "Hold my hand." Wooyoung stared at the girl dumbfounded as she rolled his eyes at his reaction. "Hold my hand so that I can make us both disappear with my abilities so you don't get caught, you idiot. I can't do it without touching the other person I want to hide, I haven't trained that much."

"I can't," Wooyoung rejected immediately. "Yeosang, they'll search Yeosang's room to make sure he hasn't been injured and if they see him preparing to leave they'll heighten the security around his room. I can't just let him face the brute of the trouble like that, who knows what punishment his parents will give him."

"You were planning to take him with you?!" Ryunjin whispered in a moment of disbelief, unable to understand Wooyoung's decision.

Though speaking of the devil, there Yeosang was opening the door with a confused expression as he heard the rumbling before embarrassment flooded his eyes at the sight of Ryunjin. "Oh... I didn't expect you to be here so soon! And why are you dressed that way...?"

"No time to talk," Wooyoung quickly interjected, grabbing the House Han daughter by the sleeve of her nightgown. "Sentinels are coming, let us hide in your room? Pretend like you didn't even hear anything when they come to check on you."

"What did you do?"

"No time to talk!" He stressed again. Without any more questions, he dragged Ryunjin side of Yeosang's room, nearly shoving the silver prince out of the way so the two could escape. "Just do what I say and we'll hide, got it? Got it."

"My closet is big enough four a group of five," He told them, pointing to the double doors that were opposite of his bed. "Hide in there until the sentinels come and leave."

"Why are you forcing me to hide?" Ryunjin complained. "I'm the one who can bend light to their will, I don't really need to be hiding like Wooyoung."

"Ryunjin," Wooyoung breathed, "Shut up and get into the closet, please. We don't know if the sentinels have a silent among their ranks or not."

"Okay fine, I'm going," She grumbled, his physical slowly fading out of existence as she bent light to her will. Despite having used her silent abilities, both Yeosang and Wooyoung saw the boy's closet door unlock and open up before closing behind nothingness. At least she listened to them when they needed her to.

The two boys immediately ran from each other when they heard knocking on the door, one of the sentinels yelling from the other side, "Prince Yeosang! Prince Yeosang, are you in there?" The silver prince jumped into his bed, bundling himself within the covers and ruffling up the hair he had tied into a messy ponytail to recreate the illusion that he was still resting.

Wooyoung tugged hard on the closet door, opening it up to reveal an off guard Ryunjin who has just phased back into visibility again. He didn't waste any time to enter the large room though as he closed the door behind him and moved as far back from the door as possible.

"So are you gonna explain where you're going now?" Ryunjin asked him, her voice as she tried to keep quiet between the two of them. Their eyes were glued to the closet door in case one of the sentinels decided to search Yeosang's room despite his orders, but the House Han daughter kept talking anyway. "I didn't hear much of your conversation with Yeosang, in fact, I just barely caught the end of it, but judging by your attire you're going somewhere."

Wooyoung sighed in reply, knowing he'll have to explain himself especially to Ryunjin since she was a part of his alibi to make Yeosang tag along. Wordlessly he dug in his pockets and pulled out the map of Del Mundo, Norta, and handed it to her. "Moon River Valley," He answered, feeling the anxiety within Ryunjin festering and radiating off of her. "I heard some interesting news from my father and decided I wanted to go check it out myself and thought I'd bring Yeosang along with me."

"I would be okay with this if it was any other place," Ryunjin told him. "But Moon River Valley? Wooyoung that place is filled to the brim with reds! What makes you think Yeosang is going to want to go there? Of all the places in Norta?"

Wooyoung grimaced before giving the girl a small desperate smile, "Because I said you were going with me too...?"

The girl sat there in disbelief, almost laughing at the circumstances the silver boy had put them in. "Are you... an idiot? Does it look like I'm ready to go anywhere?" She asked him gesturing to the nightgown she had on at the moment. "Yeosang is going to be so mad at you when he realizes you lied to him, you know that right?"

"I know! But I had no other options!" He hissed back. "You know Yeosang plays favorites, if you do anything he'll follow right behind you with no questions asked. And I had to get him out of the palace somehow, he looked so tired last time I saw him. I couldn't just stand around and let his parents suck all of the fun out of him."

"You know that they're only busying him so much because of—"

"Because of the Queenstrial, I know!" The boy rolled his eyes at Ryunjin's excuse, the same excuse everyone had been throwing at him for the past month or so. "But that's not till two months from now. So until that day comes, I'm going to make sure he continues to live as a kid when I get the chance, okay?"

Ryunjin didn't say another word, her mouth gaping open as if she wanted to refute his words but was ultimately unable to. "Wooyoung—"

"Coast is clear!" Yeosang yelled as the door to the closet opened, making both of the silver children scream and Ryunjin going invisible at the shock. "The sentinels just left, but they're probably going to be close by since they were skeptical of my excuse. I don't know if we'll be able to make it out of the room without being caught."

"We'll go out of the window then!" Wooyoung declared, recovering from his initial shock. Both Ryunjin and Yeosang gave him a skeptical and untrustworthy stare as he scurried out of the closet, running towards the closet window in the room and lifting the latches that kept it closed. With a small tug, the chilly air from the outdoors flooded the inside of the room like a tidal wave, making all three of them shiver from the cold front.

"You're serious?" Yeosang asked, taken back by complete disbelief.

"When is he not?" Ryunjin answered for him, watching Wooyoung in pure amusement as he stuck his head out of that window. They weren't too high up above the ground, but not low enough for the two boys to simply jump out and land perfectly fine. Yeosang's room was at least four to five stories up and the glass terrace was only three floors above them, so the fall would damage them no matter what.

A puzzled expression donned his face as he took a few steps back away from the window, his mind running with potential solutions to the problems they were faced with. "Anyways... are we going to talk about the fact you lied to me?" Yeosang asked, crossing his arms as he looked from Wooyoung to Ryunjin. "Using people in order to pull me into your shenanigans isn't cool, one day the consequences are going to catch up to you."

"What consequences?" Ryunjin questioned the silver prince, a genuine hint of curiosity glinting in her eyes. "When is the last time you've really seen Wooyoung get in trouble with anyone? And I mean serious trouble, not Lord Moon picking at him for being a distraction during training."

Yeosang didn't respond and the House Han daughter smiled at him. "Never." The silver prince answered her. Wooyoung wasn't listening to them, his mind finally latching onto an idea that had sprung into his mind. "I've never seen him get in any serious trouble... but that doesn't mean it won't happen!" He ran his fingers across the many earrings that swiftly hung from his ears, the metal bending around the tip of his nails like liquid and slowly forming into a solid object in his hands.

"Yeosang, you gotta be realistic here," Ryunjin told him as Wooyoung got into position. His hands gripped tightly onto the object that had formed into a small, yet metallic pole, a grin stretching across his lips as he counted to himself. "Wooyoung has the power of a prodigy and a silver elite's son. Whatever real trouble he gets into will be covered up without a single trace left behind."

"One!" The silver boy yelled, running towards the window with as much speed as he could muster. Yeosang and Ryunjin didn't even have a chance to react when he suddenly leaped off of the ground, jumping cleanly past the sill and into the outdoor. He overestimated his jump and went too far past the wall of the palace than he originally hoped. Either way though, he was falling. He was falling ten stories down to the ground.

"Wooyoung!" Neither of the silver children could save him, their abilities not pertaining to such scenarios like a telky or windweaver. Despite the horrifying circumstances, however, the boy smirked. He smiled even, getting wider and wider until his face was practically beaming with excitement. He steadied himself in the air as he hurled the object towards the white palace walls, the amount of force and strength he had put into the throw smashing the metal object straight into it.

Like a spider's silk, it extended from where it struck the wall, thinning and straining itself out as it came to the beck and call of his hands. Once he grabbed a hold of the liquid-like metal it completely solidified itself within his palms, shaking him like a leaf in the wind but still catching him from his fall. Wooyoung's smile never faltered, it was simply big and bold while his blood rushed with adrenaline and excitement. If his aim was only a little bit off, if he didn't throw the object hard around, he would have died. Keyword if.

He looked back up towards the prince's window, waving towards Ryunjin and Yeosang who were staring at him in bewilderment for the actions he made. "Give me like... 10 minutes!" He told them, yelling as quietly as he could to alert them of his plan. The boy steadied himself on the small object he had created, his eyes glued to the ground he almost collided with. "I'll be back with a way to get Yeosang, if I'm not back by then I've been caught and Lord Moon is going to have a field day with me."

"This was a stupid idea..." Yeosang mumbled, tying his hair back into a ponytail after picking bits of dirt and dust out of his hair. The two had successfully left the palace with the help of Ryunjin, escaping through the window after Wooyoung's wild stunt he had pulled minutes before then. He had made sure that the way out of the window and down the white palace walls wasn't as risky for Yeosang as it was when he jumped out the window and Ryunjin had used her silver abilities to shroud them in darkness, allowing them to move like shadows to where they needed to go.

It was a risky move, scaling down the wall with a singular sturdy rope and House Han daughter clinging to the other end of it to keep them afloat and steady all while concentrating on her ability to keep them covered in the shadows. Despite the hard endeavor, the two silver boys did make a safe landing into the ground.

Running through Del Mundo wasn't very hard for them either, mainly because Wooyoung was leading the silver prince. He's snuck around the capital city plenty of times which was enough to let him know what sentinels were placed where. Whether they were swifts, silks, or strongarms, he knew how to evade the lower-tiered guards. It was far too easy for him to find their suspecting victim who would be traveling into Moon River Valley and stowaway on it.

"You say that like you aren't coming along with me," Wooyoung teased, dusting himself off and covering his head with the hood of his cloak. The hood covered a good portion of his face, casting a shadow over all of his most notable features except for his mouth. He couldn't risk the possibility of someone recognizing him, nor could Yeosang. "You came along with me and Ryunjin isn't even tagging along! You can't say you didn't come because of curiosity now."

"I watched you jump out a window," The silver prince noted, lifting the hood of his cloak so that he could be just as hidden as Wooyoung. Well, he would be just as hidden if it wasn't for the colors he adorned. Red, black, and silver, unknowing carrying the House Kang colors wherever he went.

Luckily the moon was still high in the sky and its light wasn't as bright and overbearing as the sun. The red and black were practically merging into one color due to the lack of light so Wooyoung only hoped that it was enough to keep the recognition at bay. "I'm obligated to follow after you now since you nearly died for this cause."

"Good to know," he grinned, skipping on his feet as the two approached the red village they had run to.

The village wasn't anything compared to the grand city of Del Mundo and the large palace placed within the city walls if Wooyoung had to be honest. While the palace wasn't bursting with natural colors and the warm wind that the river village adorned, there was a sense of desperation flying through the air. A desperation that Wooyoung hadn't ever felt with his silver friends and family in Del Mundo.

It wasn't very busy, seeing as the two had come while the moon was still in the sky and the village was covered in darkness, but I didn't shake the strange feeling that was building up behind Wooyoung's back. Most of the red residents within the village were in their homes for the night, but there were a few stragglers along the way as the two silver boys walked along the path.

They stared like hunted animals at the two strangers who were patrolling streets, not even daring to approach them even if they wanted.

"Do you think they can tell?" Yeosang whispered, sticking close beside Wooyoung with an evident nervous tone to his voice. The silver boy let his words linger in his mind for a moment before smiling.

"We're two complete strangers who walked into town," He reassured him, slinging his arm around the boy's neck and nearly dragging him to the ground. "I'd be a little skeptical of someone we didn't know walked into the palace as well, so don't even worry about it. Now let's see this famous river shall we?"

The silver prince didn't even get a chance to answer him when Wooyoung took off running to the edge of the red village. He laughed as Yeosang tried to follow after him, not even caring for the hood that had fallen to his shoulders as he ran in the wind. He was too busy enjoying watching the silver prince eat his dust as the athletic friend between the two. Though after a few minutes of running he skidded to a stop, nearly sending himself straight off the edge of a cliff.

He let out a deep breath of relief as he took a few steps back, his eyes widening into full moons as he looked before him. "The Moon River..." Wooyoung mumbled as Yeosang finally caught up with him. "It's completely dead."

The large river that had once been one of Norta's most beautiful sights to see, was completely gone. The only thing it had left behind was a deep channel that was once home to its watery sight with cracking in the dull patchy ground as if an earthquake had shaken the valley to its core. The river was so deep that it left a little cliff from where the land would have met its shore, creating more of a canyon than a valley now.

"I guess we have to come up with an entirely new name for this place right?" Yeosang quipped, noticing Wooyoung's dismay at the dead river. When the boy didn't respond though he hung his head low and responded, "Sorry, I guess now isn't time for jokes."

"When I was a child, my family would travel down this river all of the time during the spring," He explained, slumming to the ground and letting his feet hang over the cliff's edge. "We'd ride a boat with Lord Bang's family and watch the river sparkle even when the river wasn't as full as it used to be. Seeing it gone just..."

Yeosang didn't try to say anything else, simply patting the boy's back for his loss of a childhood memory. There was nothing he could say to make him feel better.

"So, I reckon you two must be new?" An unfamiliar voice spoke to them, taking both of them by surprise as they turned around. It was an elderly woman, her face wrinkled with age but her eyes sparkling with a sense of curiosity and youth. When the boys didn't respond she chuckled and waved them off. "I've never seen you in this area before, that's why I asked."

Wooyoung quickly lifted the hood of his cloak over his head as he stood up, trying to obstruct her view of him as best as he could. Not like it would help though since she had already caught a glimpse of him. "We are," Yeosang answered, fumbling with his hands as he tried to come up with a cohesive lie. "We're from... the Lakelands, refugees if that's what you'd prefer to call us."

The woman looked between the two of them, her expression unreadable as she determined the weight of the prince's lie in her head. Despite this though, she smiled at them. "Ah... I see! Then welcome to Twilight as we prefer to call it," She told them, mimicking Yeosang's statement. "We hope you can call this place home."

"If you don't mind me asking," Wooyoung piped up, turning back towards the dead river. "What happened here...?"

She peered from behind them towards the river, a pitiful smile growing on her face as she spoke. "As Lakelanders I see you'd want to be close to the water right? Unfortunately, a month ago our glorious river was completely sapped of its life overnight. We don't exactly know why it happened so soon but we've been expecting this to happen for a while now."

"Has anything strange happened lately?" Yeosang asked, probably thinking that the death of the river and strange information Lord Jung had received were connected.

"Not many weird things happen here," The woman shrugged, staring off up the channel where many other red villages lay. "We live in a red and silver world, there's only so much you can call weird compared to what we find normal."

"Anything at all?" Wooyoung insisted.

She thought for a moment, considering both boys' words before speaking again. "Well... I can't say there hasn't been this one odd occurrence recently." The woman tested, chuckling to herself when she saw how intrigued and desperate for answers they were.

"People have been traveling up the river towards its source these past few weeks, and they say that once you get to it you'll start to see strange things," She told them, "Like visions of people in the corner of your eye, but never truly there. Stay up there for far longer than you should and you'll pass out and somehow end up right back where you came from."

"A swift? A cloner, maybe?" Yeosang suggested.

"There's no way," Wooyoung argued back, just as confused as the silver prince was. "Their abilities don't match up to her description, it can't be a silver from that background."

"Then who?" Yeosang asked him, but neither of them spoke. They were puzzled, stumped by a mysterious situation they didn't have a single inkling about.

"If you're that curious," the woman began, giving the two boys a knowing look. "I would suggest that you boys should try and climb to the river source when you have the time since experiencing the phenomenon yourself might give you clues as to what's going on... but even the people of Twilight aren't giving it another chance. It's too dangerous for reds to try and search the river source."

When Wooyoung didn't respond, Yeosang gave him a hard stare, practically reading his mind of all the thoughts that were racing through his head.

But he stepped back in slight shock when the silver boy smiled at the woman and spoke, "We're refugees, we don't have much to offer or give with this mystery. We need to focus on getting ourselves settled in this new land first... but one day, maybe we'll go. One day."
