The Boy With Open Eyes.

Chapter 53

Fixed this chapter up.

Cooper's P.O.V.

I don't think there will be a moment long enough where peace exists, but I'm willing to enjoy this moment of peace with my friends and family as we continue to move forward. Rio and Leo haven't been spotted, which leaves them still out hidden from us all. Yet I'm happy that they haven't tried to come back. All that was left was to check the orphanage and graduate school then get crowned King. I'll go check out the orphanage Dad opened later after Wrath is doing better. It was the only orphanage around. Dad had opened it years ago and ran it up until his death. Now it's mainly running on what money he left to it once he passed away. I wonder why Dad came back for a bit and just left?

I have many emotions going through me; euphoria, grief, confusion, and pain. I haven't addressed this much as I don't want to face it yet. I look out one of the hospital windows in Wrath's room to see such a world where it looks somewhat simple but has been anything but that. I saw so many areas as the hospital was near the center, the Cloudy district, always full of clouds blocking the sun. The Warm District is to be on a portion of the beach but never in the water.

I look to my right and see The Weeping Falls district. It rains there, waterfalls might even hit near people's homes, but they seem used to the somewhat flooding area. I sure wonder what kind of adventures Dad had at my age? What was he into, gardening? I wish I knew, but I bet he was far superior to I was. I let out a sigh and back to playing around with a small gadget of mine.

-Years ago-

Sarid was no ordinary kid, sure, but he is one of the best creations made. A weapon to protect the Kingdom. Cody got 9998 Sprites to give a bit of their magic to mix it with his own to have a new type of magic close to his but far more dangerous. It worked because, after several months of him working away, he showed his citizens a 3-year-old in a cage with several chains that were going wild as he tried to break out of it. People were scared of this new Sprite as Cody smiled proudly at the foul creation brought to life. Sarid had no clue why he was there or what he was for as he saw several people around him giving different reactions with a strange man in front of his standing almost full of pride, but prideful of what?

Sarid had no clue as to what. One moment he didn't exist the next he did, so many things around him to comprehend all at once that it almost filled him with rage as he could not understand a single thing around him. The same prideful man opened the cage, another man from the crowd came up. He was different from the prideful man. He almost seemed happy to see Sarid, unlike the confused and scared audience. The man had light yellow hair with dark yellow eyes with brown pupils. He was wearing a black tux and black leather shoes with laces, black jeans with no rips. He got down on one knee and held out his hands towards Sarid, who set free from his shackles.

Everyone was quiet while Sarid slowly approached the new man. The man gently picked up Sarid, who didn't show aggression as a warm nice, feeling came over him as he was close by the man who smiled at him.

He was happy, yet the prideful man that he heard bits and pieces of as he grew. And got to understand, was named Cody. He didn't feel great motives, so he was still hostile to Cody, but not his new caregiver. His creator was smiling as if he had something waiting but was holding back.

Sarid stopped growling when his new caretaker held him close with a smile and saying softly,

"Hello, my name is Yellow Glow. I'm your Dad from now on. I gave the most of my magic, so you feel quite connected to me now, but I promise to raise you right and give you a great life." Sarid somewhat understood as he held on tight to Yellow's shirt.
