So if you haven't read that book yet, go read it because you will be VERY confused if you don't!
I know year 2020 has already come and gone for us...
He may not remember anything about his past, he may act like a child half the time, but he knows where his future is leading him towards.
And that future is—her.

Amelia Faulkner.
The "Damsel Flare" of Hell.
He met her one day when he was out on an errand run with a disguised Viviana doing all the errands that his distracted brain failed to focus on. He remembered that he was wearing a very ugly disguise and had dyed his hair light brown.
The errand was for the Night Sister's because they needed a plant that only grew in the Ring of Pride.

(Author's Note: In my AU I have Hell shaped like a pentagon with the Seven Rings of Hell being divided up into seven triangles. Each of the seven "rings" meets in the middle at a point where the border guard is at it highest and strongest.)

It's taken him years to get it into his adoptive families skulls that he is more than capable of protecting himself and that he doesn't need to be chaperoned by Viviana or a hoard of birds! Two birds at least, five birds at the most. Ten is paranoia, fifteen is overdoing it, and twenty is just overkill!
