Fifteen years ago…
Helios watched Kaelis leave his hiding spot, but…he wasn't satisfied.
'Who are you trying to meet so badly?'
That was the question sitting in his mind as he remained hidden, his narrowed eyes following the direction Kaelis had gone earlier that week over and over again.
Helios assumed it was some poor girl.
Some helpless little street girl, Kaeli,s probably thought it was cute, someone he decided to feed like a stray dog because it made him feel better about his miserable life.
Because that was the kind of person Kaelis was.
Soft.
Pathetic.
Always trying to save things.
And honestly?
Even that annoyed Helios.
Eveame poor, scrappy girl wasn't allowed to make Kaelis happy.
Kaelis was never allowed to have anything good.
He was too unfortunate for that.
And Helios made sure of it.
He would continue making sure of it for the rest of Kaelis' life if he had to.
