.. Main Idea

 

Long time ago in old Kyoto, when traditions were like religion, one god was cursed.

Humans believed that the god of water was responsible for the drained-like years. Thus,they started sending brides to him. Passing by the biggest river in the village, as said in old myths, the bride should be saved by the water god - else she will be drown.

Many brides were sent, some weren't saved by the water god, others disappeared - but rain would hardly fall.

 

Now a mistake was done,instead of a female, the most beautiful male was sent because no woman was enough of a beautiful in the whole land. Hopeful that humans will deceive the god of water,they sacrificed a man. The most beautiful one, but will he be saved by Habaek, the god of water? Will he be able to lift the curse that was put on Habaek?

What is actually the curse? That the bride will have to find out.

Mui,or known as Habaek, is a rather cold man. But that is supposed for a powerful god like him. Many humans and even gods are afraid of him and his abilities. Water is source of life and so believed, Mui is the one controlling ''the source of life and beauty'' - water. Due to betrayals and being hurt, the water god closed his heart and doesn't seem to care for anyone. Even if brides were sacrificed,he would barely lift a finger to save them. But deep inside,he is caring and possessive.

Another day of his never ending boredom, Habaek was in his Water Kingdom, exercising some of his calligraphy. The brush smoothly ran across the rice paper, as his thought flew far away. His expression was like always cold and out of emotions. The man seemed like lifeless,but at the same time there was a mysterious sparkle in his eyes. Was it due to the fact he was the water god? Or may be it was a time for the same old ritual? To see his new bride reflecting in the cup of tea next to his brush ink. Indeed, it was about time when he could see the girl sacrificed for him this year. But would he stretch hand to save her this time? Humans were so foolish, he thought.

Name: Hoo Yeh

Age: 20

 

Race: human

 

Qualities: straight-forward, proud, sensible and passionate

 

Dislikes: power and plotters

 

Personality: Though polite and kind by nature, Hoo Yeh tends to rebel with injustice. His beauty makes him an easy target and has made him careful and distrustful. Against his will, his family has offered him as the next bride..

 

>>>>>>>>>> .........>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

"The day has come" thinks Hoo Yeh while getting ready. His family has spent the little money they have to buy the appropriate trousseau." I'm not a woman" he thinks while staring at his new yukata, wondering, what will happen to him,how the Water God react when he finds a male instead as his sacrifice....

[Saga]

Habaek was in his day form, or in other words he wouldn't be looked at as a man - but a mere kid. He reached hand for his tea cup as silver bracelets dangled from his wrist. A quick sigh escaped him and he leaned back on the side, his glance spreading wings to fly outside the window.

 

Suddenly slight trembles could be felt coming from the water, so they were to send another bride. The dark haired boy got up and his long dark blue kimono ran after him when he moved outside. Where he was going,on top of it with his tea cup?

[BRIDGET]

"What a beautiful day to die" Hoo Yeh thought looking at the bluest sky, evil enough to not grant a single drop of rain in several years. Sat on a small ceremonial boat with his trousseau and the black and silver kimono his parents had bought him.

 

Suddenly the water started to whirl and the sky was colored with a heavy smoky gray, a strong wind blew making the small boat sway. In a second, darkness was the only thing seen, a single thought on Hoo Yeh's mind. "Will this cruel Water God save me or he will let me die?"

[Saga]

His feet kept moving and moving,but a sudden pause came. Habaek's expressionless face gave indeed a ray of interest. His gaze changed as he kept staring in his tea cup. What he could see there? Suddenly he spilled the tea off the cup,straight into the water kingdom sea. Yeah,the endless sea in the water world.

 

As soon as he spilled it,he made a path with it. Habaek stepped calmly on the water,his feet as if stepping on hard ground. The "kid" knelt down and slowly he reached hand,before one single movement of his to catch something or someone - he retreated his hand from the water... and little by little the water started retreating from there,as if by command. Finally. The water god kept looking at the new year offered bride who was dressed rather nicely.

How long 'she' intended to sleep, Habaek thought.

[BRIDGET]

Lost in the darkness of his mind, Hoo Yeh felt how the cold water surrounded him, swallowing him to the depths of unconciousness. "I'm drowning, I'm going to die for my people" was his last thougt as his unusual eyes closed. Why was he been chosen when there were women enough to be offered? Why? " Your beauty is your condemnation" his mother told him. "I'm a man", Hoo Yeh thought. If you send the cruel Water God a man, his anger will increase. His mother told him that the only thing the Water God was interested in were beautiful things. "If saved, I won't be more than an object"

 

"I'm cold" thought Hoo Yeh while he felt how he was gently pulled out of the water. The gentle grasp felt warm and confident. Was it a sign of survival? Could he feel some relief? "Don't open your eyes" his brain told him, but Hoo Yeh needed to know if he had been saved or not? As he opened his eyes, a blurry figure of a kid appeared. A face with no warm stared at him. "Who are you" he asked, "Are you the Water God?

[Saga]

It was a different feeling this time and Habaek could feel it. He wanted to reach hand and capture an end of the human's hair,but suddenly he opened eyes. The water god was standing there,silent.

 

Two quick questions followed,escaping the perfect lips of Hoo Yeh.

 

Who are you? Are you the Water God?

 

Well,it was normal for one to ask these since the place was a complete 'X' to them, not to even mention that it wasn't even on Earth. And it was a reaction as follow by human's nature, but still for a god it was annoying to be asked such things by someone who was a mere human. Habaek though was different, he didn't hate humans,nor he looked down on them. May be it was that he got surprised by the beauty of the other and it annoyed him for a second that the other was here as a sacrifice, not like they wanted to be with Habaek.

 

The water god just turned his back to have his dark blue kimono follow spread by the warm and humid wind. He headed for the castle.

[BRIDGET]

Just at the corner of his eye, Hoo Yeh saw a dubious hand trying to reach at his hair. "Who are you?" He asked. No answer was received. Hoo Yeh could just see a kid in a blue kimono staring at him. Was he a messenger of the Water God? Where was he?

The place wasn't Earth, that was certain. A blue sky was above him with the whitest clouds he had ever seen and strange creatures flew through the sky. The air was humid and warm and the babbling water could be heard everywhere. Will this place be Hoo Yeh's home from now on? How will his life be here? Will he be a prisoner, a slave or... a wife? a husband? What will become of his life?

Hoo Yeh started feeling anxious, too many questions and not a single answer. Will this little messenger give him some?

Hoo Yeh quickly sat up as he saw how the little kid turned his back on him and left him there.

"Hey!, Hey!" Hoo Yeh called

"Hey, kiddo! Where is your master?"

The last thing he saw was the dark blue kimono spreading and the little kid leaving...

"Kiddo! What am I supposed to do now?" were his last words before loosing consciousness again

[Saga]

Habaek disappeared in the mist created by the hot weather and water coming into one. Damn this weather, he couldn't stand how warm it was. May be he had to call upon some cold rain,he thought.

 

Finally on his throne,he saw in the fountain near him how his servants were to take care of his new bride. The water god looked away,sulking. May be it was typical to see a kid sulking,but he was rather old compared to humans,what to talk about to be some kiddo.

 

And what was so annoying that he kept thinking about the bride even though he didn't even know the human's name.

But in any rate, he had to spend the night with "her" anyway,so soon he would ,may be, find out some things.

[BRIDGET]

As Hoo Yeh opened eyes again, he saw a crowd of servants around him. Where's the kiddo?

- Who was that kid? Hoo Yeh asked

- My master, Madam, the Water God, lord and ruler of the Water Country- said a servant observing Hoo Yeh.

- My lord's bride, can you stand? A servant asked offering a hand

Still dizzy, Hoo Yeh took the servant's hand and stood up. The servants realized then how tall, slender and beautiful Hoo Yeh was. His dark grey kimono was wrinkled, wet and stained. The servants took him to some big, elegant chambers, decorated with the finest embroideries and elegant furniture. Silver and green curtains and bed sheets gave color to the dark red walls. His trousseau was already in his chambers.

- We will proceed with the ceremonial wedding night bath, Madam- A servant said

- Wedding bath- Hoo Yeh whispered, like trying to understand the meaning behind those words. - Wedding bath??!!! He suddenly asked. Which bath? whose wedding, which night? He jabbered.

- My master will come to visit tonight, Madam, he will spend the wedding night in your chambers. We must purify your body for you to receive him- the servant explained.

- What??? !!! Hoo Yeh exclaimed- How am I going to expend the wedding night with a kid? I'm not a kid's bride, groom, bri.. Bride! Get out! All of you get out right now! Tell your master there won't be any wedding night not tonight, not any other night

The servants left him in his luxurious chambers. He felt overwhelmed. What was that kid thinking? He wasn't any ruler’s puppet.

What would happen when night fell? How would Hoo Yeh deal with the Water God?

[Saga]

Resting out on the veranda,which had for sight the lake by the household, Habaek rubbed palm against his nape. Ah,how exhausted he felt during the day. His strength was revealed during the night,thus he was usually moody - in fact, he was always moody.

 

-"Yo,Habaek!",from behind an annoying voice rang to alarm Habaek - it was the brat, the god of fire.

-"What are you doing here?", the water god threw a quick glare,then hopped up to do a major turn for his room.

-"Wait,wait..stop acting like a kid...uh...I mean..",he stuttered,knowing fully well that irony was for the words to be literal.

-" ... What you want?", Habaek spoke with back turned at the other.

-"Did you tell your wife about your secret?"

-"Not your business.",replied coldly,the emotionless water god left for his room.

"It's not like..I don't want to tell her.."

[BRIDGET]

Leaning on one of the pillars opposite the big window, Hoo Yeh hummed a song his mother used to sing to calm him down. His humming was interrupted by a servant knocking at the door.

- Who is it? Hoo Yeh asked, while getting closer to the window, looking for a way to escape, paying attention to the sound of the water and the reeds. Other voices could be heard from Hoo Yeh's window but he couldn't recognize them.

- My Lady, said the servant, you have a visitor.

 

A visitor? Hoo Yeh feared that the kiddo had finally decided to appear before him. He tried to calm himself while thinking on a way to escape.

 

- Lady Moo-ra has come to show her respect, my Lady. The servant finally said

 

Suddenly, a tall, beautiful woman with a pipe bursted in Hoo Yeh's chambers. She was wearing a black and red kimono beautifully embroidered and a red stole. Her face was calm but her eyes were inquisitive.

 

-Are you the new bride? She asked with a strong voice, showing self confidence and arrogance.

-I'm no one's bride. Hoo Yeh replied

- If you were saved, that means you have been chosen as the new bride, tchs, you are pretty, I'll give that to you, but as common as the rest of them.

- I'm not...- But Moo-ra raised her hand to stop him talking

- Have you met Miu yet? Moo-ra asked with an ironic smile on her beautiful face.

- Miu? Who's him?

- Oh! Haven't you met Miu yet? This is going to be even funnier. I wonder if Habaek is planning to tell you. - Said Moo-ra leaving the rest of the sentence unfinished

- Tell me what? Hoo Yeh asked a bit irritated

- You must be patient, little flower, be patient and you'll find out.

 

And with those words, Moo-ra left his chambers, leaving Hoo Yeh even more confused....

[Saga]

The time here passed faster than on Earth. Being really annoyed,Habaek rushed in his room that happened to be made into Hoo Yeh's chambers. The so said kid,the water god, stared at the beautiful man before him. And not even thinking that she could be actually he, Habaek got himself on a chair.

 

-"You seem pale.",he tried to start a conversation, knowing fully well that the night will fall soon and he would change forms. Would Hoo Yeh be lucky and see Mui? The water god lifted his gaze towards the other and continued,"I guess you miss your family."

 

Not like it'd be a surpirse,if Hoo missed them. Just the opposite,it'd be something normal. Habaek never could know what family meant,but still...humans seemed happy around family. So he considered it was something precious.

[BRIDGET]

Hoo Yeh jolted when he heard the voice. He instinctively touched his face. He realized he was tired, he didn't know how long he had been standing there, by the window, with Lady Moo-ra's words lingering on his mind. He looked at the kid in his eyes. They were beautiful eyes, big and deep. Thinking about it, the kid was a beautiful kid, too beautiful to be real. Suddenly he felt the need to touch that face.

 

Then he replied: I do not miss them; sire and I guess they don't miss me either. Why do you ask, sire? Do you miss your family?

I guess you are my family now, sire. Hoo Yeh mumbled. Sire, could I ask you something? Who's Mui?

[Saga]

The water god picked one grape from the bowl with fruits set on the table as expecting some tear-some sentence,but instead he heard the opposite. Weren't humans supposed to be bond to their family? Unlike gods,they had a limited lifespan,so they would be able to treasure life more than gods.

 

Habaek glanced over his chosen one and the final question got him silent for a second. 'Who was Mui? Give me a break.', he thought as looked aside,

-"A name you shouldn't mention in front of me.",just when the moon got to reach for the inside of the room,the shadow crawling on the wall behind Habaek started to shift its form. What was happening?

[BRIDGET]

Expecting no reply to his question, Hoo Yeh turned his back to the Water God and lifted his gaze to the sky wondering which was the divine reason why he was saved and kept in those chambers. The night was clear and he could see the full moon light entering the room. A long silence filled then the place

 

A name you shouldn't mention in front of me

 

"Why, sire?" At that moment Hoo Yeh turned. "Why wouldn't....? Sire? Nor zara zu??!!!"- Hoo Yeh screamed

 

The moon suddenly was covered by some clouds leaving the person in the shadows. What was happening? Where did Habaek go?

[Saga]

Habaek finally transformed into his night form - Mui. He got off his seat to hide himself into one of the room's corner,the moon was about to be embraced by the dark yet fluffy clouds. Could it that Mui did it on purpose? Letting the Water Kingdom have a rainy night?

 

Not expecting the other to continue being curious, Mui widened his beautiful eyes as Hoo Yeh screamed. One firm and slender arm out-stretched from the dark to pull the other into an embrace, but just to cover these beautiful lips with big palm.

-"Geez...",he scolded a bit,frowning,"Give me a break. No need to scream, besides, no one will dare to enter.",he was pretty much right. No one would even think to enter when they knew the water god was in the room with his bride.

 

Silly enough,he didn't take a notice about having no damn cloth on himself right now.

[BRIDGET]

"Nor zara zu??!!!" were the last words coming out from Hoo Yeh's mouth before a long, slender but confident arm pulled him to a dark corner, faster enough to avoid any movement by the bride, embracing him tightly. Surprisingly the "shadow’s hand covering his mouth was warm but firm, showing self confidence, power.

His breathing started being irregular, he felt his heart beat strongly on his chest. He didn't feel any fear, he knew that whoever that person was they wouldn't harm Habaek's bride. He was excited.

 

"Give me a break. No need to scream, besides, no one will dare to enter."

The "shadow" said. His voice calm, cold, aggravated.

 

What? Hoo Yeh, thought, why not? Why no one would dare to enter if they heard a scream or fighting noise? Who was that person?

Hoo Yeh placed his free hand on the male's arm trying to convey that he wouldn't make any noise and asking to be released. He moved to be face to face to the person embracing him as he noticed the other loosened the embrace a bit. Face to face in the dark, just listening to each other's breath.

 

The storm was approaching from the East. Clouds had covered the starry sky and some thunders were heard in the distance. Despite the cold air coming through the window, all he could feel was the male's body heat. Silence and darkness roamed freely that night in the Water God Kingdom, both suddenly broken by the storm.

Hoo Yeh's eyes widened when at the light produced by the sudden lightning, he saw the male. A beautiful, tall, naked male looking at him, smirking while ran his arm through Hoo Yeh's body.

 

- “Who are you?" asked Hoo Yeh. “I’m the Water God's bride, don't touch me and release me or I'll make Habaek to imprison you"

 

A loud laugh came out from the male's mouth, a musical laugh that'd be contagious in another situation. What did that person find for funny? Where was Habaek? Why was he left alone with a stranger?

 

Another thunder reverberated in the night and the musical laugh died with it....

[Saga]

So many questions, one thing was sure - that bride knew no limits when curious. Mui laughed lightly,before one thunder muted his melodic voice. The room was quiet,filled with fearsome aura. It was like Mui's power was finally getting around. He out-stretched hand,on his left side a little up above the chest,close to his collarbone, the male had a tattoo. A symbol of the Water Kingdom, but oddly ,no one else had that tattoo. Why only he had it? Anyhow, as he raised hand,one glass of wine broke down on the ground,the liquid surrounded the bride.

 

Dangling on his wrist,the silver bracelet, which was illuminated by the storm outside got to reach for one silky black nemaki,elegant robe. On its back it had the water lily flower - Mui's symbol.

As everything happened for seconds and the liquid wine forming two red dragons dancing around his bride's body,to engrave the magical world "she" was in.

 

-"Habaek's bride?",he laughed again,"No one said you are bride, how you are so sure that Habaek chose you for his bride?",Mui turned as warping the robe around his slender body.

[BRIDGET]

Another thunder, another scrap of light let Hoo Yeh observe the beautiful man's body again. A tattoo? What was the meaning of it? Hoo Yeh felt tempted to touch it, but he restrained himself. His position was at disadvantage since the male was taller and strongerl,so he had to make use of his resources to get rid of him.

Suddenly a broken glass, seconds later, Hoo Yeh's eyes witnessed how two red dragons danced around him.

 

The words coming out of Mui's mouth woke Hoo Yeh up from his daydreaming. What was the male saying? What did he know about Habaek and his own position as bride?

 

Hoo Yeh watched how the slender body was wrapped by an ornamented robe, trying to find an answer that allowed him to get rid of the male. " Ergel", he thought.

- "Nola ausartzen tua?" Hoo Yeh exclaimed." Sir, may I know who I have the pleasure to talk to? Do you know, by any chance, my lord Habaek? How am I sure? How are you sure I'm not, sir? Aren't these the bride's chambers? Isn't this the bride's trousseau? Isn't it time to leave sir? I don't think it's proper for a stranger to be in my lord's chamber at this time of the night. My lord may come back at any moment,sir, so if you allow me, I'll show you the way out sir. I'm sure my lord will be pleased to receive you at any other moment" Said Hoo Yeh pointing the door with all the politeness he could find..

[Saga]

He just stood there,staring. Was she really chasing him out of his own bedroom? Mui reached hand up to set it on his forehead,hiding half of his beautiful face - laughing. "Can't believe it.",he thought as paused. The other was speaking in some language, but Habaek didn't pay attention,nor he understood her.

 

Anyhow,the water god leaned forward and the dragons faded away,

-"How confident. I am not a stranger. I am...",he made a pause. How hilarious he felt,if the rest of the sentence would go out of his lips,so he changed plans,"Habaek's cousin. Dropped by to see his new bride, but come to think of it, where is he?",Mui chuckled as a sparkle in eyes glittered. How come she didn't notice that Habaek was nowhere to be found and in stead Mui was there? "She.",he titled head as set his hand on her chest,a silence took place...

 

-"You are pretty flat.",he blinked.

[BRIDGET]

Hoo Yeh kept pointing out the door and staring at the male who with half face covered started to laugh. Suddenly the dragons were gone and the male got closer. Hoo Yeh jolted.

 

Hoo Yeh, couldn't believe his eyes. That man's hand was resting on his chest?!!

"What the hell??!! Thought Hoo Yeh. He was starting to feel out of energy. It had been a long day and that man was burning his last drops of patience. Flat? What the hell did he expect to find? Wasn't that obvious what he was?

 

- "Sir!!" Hoo Yeh exclaimed trying to shove the man's hand from his chest. " What do you think you're doing??!!!" I don't care if you're Habaek's cousin, his brother or ..." said Hoo Yeh exasperated. " Habaek will be here no time soon, sir so I'll ask you once more to leave."

 

Hoo Yeh was uncertain about Habaek's whereabouts, still didn't understand how could disappear so easily, but he knew nothing about Gods. He placed his hand where the man's hand had been, why did it feel hot? Hoo Yeh didn't have time for that. He was tired.

-"Sir?"
