Before it became The Fellowship of the Sun they were just a church that hated illegal immigrants, members of the LGBT community, and anyone that didn't fit their image of what was Christian.
Silence. No words are spoken between the two as they stand there. He spent hundreds of years being held in reverence at a distance by others of his kind because of his age and hiding how his guilt ate away from him. Godric is in awe, somehow this child managed to get him to admit his inadequacies when no one else could.
"I don't know what 2000 plus years can do to a guilty conscious but I do know what depression feels like. I know what feeling like a monster feels like and I never want to feel it again. How could I ever live with myself if I walked away from you knowing you are going through the same hell I was?" Milo asks with a humorless chuckle.
"How could you ever be a monster? Godric asks
"I'm a trans male meaning I was born female. I was so confused as a child and when I told my family they just told me I was confused. As I grew older I experienced puberty as a female and I felt even more like a freak. Boys aren't supposed to have breasts, boys don't get a period. "
"You are clearly a man now. What changed from then?"
Milo smiles bitterly, "When I got older I found out what transgender meant and I finally felt like my feelings were valid. I wanted to share that with my family, but when I came out to them, they looked at me with such disgust I haven't been home since. I wasn't in a good place mentally and when I got my top surgery I felt even more like a freak. I mean what's Frankenstein's monster without his scars." He lifts his shirt and reveals two long scars on his chest.
Godric lifts his hand but hesitates before actually touching Milo. When he gets a nod from Milo he lightly trails his fingertips along the scars before placing his entire hand on Milo's chest." I don't think you are a monster, Milo."
"I don't think you're a monster either Godric. I promise you I will get you to enjoy life again. Will you let me help you with that?" Milo asks
Godric opens his mouth to answer but he gets interrupted by something only he can hear. "Stay here Milo." with that Godric busts out of the cage.
Milo stands there in shock for a minute before the alarm starts to blare, "Fuck that" and runs out searching for Godric. He stumbles his way through the maze-like basement and gets to the bottom of the stairs where Godric is waiting for him.
"I thought I told you to stay?" Godric smirks
"You did, but I decided that it was a stupid decision and left."
"Let's go little one." Godric's smirk grows into a small but sincere smile. He opens his arms and Milo walks into them. "My childe is in danger we must take a little detour before we leave."
"You and your kid must be a lot alike if you both need to be saved all the time," Milo says jokingly
They arrive to see people shouting below in the sanctuary, there are vampires holding humans hostage. Godric steps onto the balcony and sighs in disappointment. "Enough," He says in a clear authoritative voice, and humans and vampires alike stop.
"These people have not harmed me. You see? We can coexist. Mr. Newlin I do not wish to create bloodshed when none is called for. Help me set an example. If we leave you in peace will you do the same?" Godric asks.
"I will not negotiate with sub-humans!" Steve glares up at Godric and moves closer to Eric offering his neck, "Kill me! Do it. Jesus will protect me."
"I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have known him, but I missed it." Milo fails to hide his laughter from behind him and Godric smirks. "Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man's madness?" When no one speaks up he continues, "That's what I thought. Stand down, everyone. People, go home, It's over now."
