("Seven hundred years of love, carried within a single breath of mist.")
🚑 Scene 1: The Aftermath – Inside the Ambulance
Jinwoo's eyes slowly fluttered open. His breathing was heavy, ragged, and shallow. The rhythmic, haunting echo of an ambulance siren pierced through the fog in his mind. 🚨
He realized he was lying inside an ambulance, his entire body wrapped in thick bandages. He felt incredibly weak—every muscle screamed in agony.
Jinwoo (Whispering): "Am I… still alive?…"
With a surge of painful effort, he forced the ambulance doors open and stepped out.
The world was silent. The city he once knew was gone.
Buildings were reduced to skeletal ruins.
Military tanks lay destroyed, their steel twisted like paper.
The ground was stained with blood and littered with the fallen.
Police and rescue teams scoured the debris, searching for any signs of life. 🚓 Ambulances were everywhere—a landscape of chaos and despair. Jinwoo stood there, silently absorbing the horror. The pain in his heart was more visible than the wounds on his body. 😔
Using the last remnants of his strength, he flickered into a blur of lightning and disappeared into the shadows of the forest. ⚡🌲
🌲 Scene 2: The Sanctuary – Alice's House
The forest was eerily calm, the wind whispering through the trees. Suddenly—THUD! 💥
Jinwoo slammed against the door of Alice's house and collapsed. His body was broken, his life force fading. Alice rushed outside, her face pale with shock.
Alice: "Jinwoo?! What happened to you?!"
Jinwoo was unconscious, his breathing dangerously faint. Alice carefully carried him inside, laying him on a bed to begin the arduous process of healing his royal blood. 🌿🛏
💞 Scene 3: The Revelation – The 700-Year Secret
A few hours later, Jinwoo's eyes opened again. In the bed beside him, he saw Prithvi sleeping peacefully. 😴
Relief washed over him, and light tears welled in his eyes. 😢 As he tried to stand, Alice entered the room.
Alice: "Even for a Royal Vampire, you have taken a brutal amount of damage. Who did this to you?"
Jinwoo: "Aunty… first… please tell me, how is Prithvi?"
Alice (Smiling): "She's fine, Jinwoo. She just needs rest. She is safe now."
Jinwoo walked slowly to Prithvi's side, held her hand gently, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. 💔😔
The Turning Point:
Jinwoo turned to Alice, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and suppressed rage. His fists clenched tight, and for the first time, the mist aura around him began to glow with a strange, ancient light.
Jinwoo: "Alice... who is this Adheera? What happened to my family? Who were my parents, and why do I have this Mist Power? Why did my mother give this to me as a gift?"
Alice took a deep breath and placed a hand on Jinwoo's shoulder. In her eyes, the weight of seven centuries was visible.
Alice: "Jinwoo, behind the mist that surrounds you, there is a history written in blood. I will tell you about your family first—only then will you understand the true value of your power. Adheera... he is a 5,000-year-old entity, but we will speak of him last."
1. The Fatal Encounter (The Forbidden Spark)
"Seven hundred years ago, the world was different. Humans and Vampires were blood enemies. Minwoo, a human prince, went into the deep forest to hunt. There, amidst the dark trees, he saw Alyssa—the daughter of the Vampire King—wearing a black dress, admiring the flowers. Mistaking her for a panther in the shadows, Minwoo fired an arrow."
"The arrow pierced Alyssa's leg. When Minwoo ran to his kill, he was devastated to find a girl bleeding. He tore his royal robes to bind her wound. Touching her skin, he thought, 'How can someone be this soft and bright?' While Alyssa was unconscious, he moved her to the shade, left gold coins as a gesture of apology, and fled. When Alyssa woke, she realized a human—the sworn enemy—had saved her life. That was the spark."
2. The Mountain of Peace
"Their love grew in secret. But when the Kings of both sides—your grandfathers—found out, chaos erupted. Minwoo and Alyssa fled to the highest mountain, where they married and lived in exile. That is where you were born. The first word your mother ever spoke when she saw you was... 'Jinwoo.' For three years, that mountain was a paradise."
3. The Night of Fire and Blood
"One day, Minwoo left to seek permission from his family to return. At the same time, Alyssa was longing to see me. But in that brief gap, the Vampire King discovered their location."
"That night, the human kingdom burned. Vampires hunted everyone. Alyssa's intuition told her something was wrong, but by the time she arrived, it was over. Minwoo was dead. Your father was killed by your grandfather—the Vampire King."
4. The Divine Sacrifice (The Falling Sun)
"Alyssa was shattered. She took you, her baby, and came to me. She prayed to the Heavens, wagering her very life for a miracle... and that miracle was the Divine Mist Power."
"She looked at you and said: 'Jinwoo... I will live within this mist. As great as my love for you is, this power will protect you.' She entrusted you to me and walked straight into the Vampire Palace."
"Standing before her father, she activated the second power she had bargained for: 'The Falling Sun.' In the dead of night, she summoned an artificial sun. Vampires turn to ash in the sunlight... and Alyssa dissolved into that light along with them. In a single second, the entire vampire race was wiped out."
Present Day:
Alice looked deeply into Jinwoo's eyes.
Alice: "Jinwoo... for seven hundred years, you have been carrying your mother within this mist. Alyssa's endless love is what protects you. I am the witness to it all. Now, you are the Last Vampire King and the true owner of the Divine Mist."
