At Morgo's room, Remor was waiting patiently for Misfortune to tell him the story, of how she met Morgo.

Finally, Misfortune started:-

"I was 8 when I died. I had a wonderful family. But, my daddy would often beat up my mommy many times. That used to make me sad".

Remor immediately felt pity for her and thought, "Her family must be abusive towards her as well, poor girl".

"My mommy also used to drink red juice a lot, and smoke quite a bit".

"Red juice? I wonder if that's red wine or not?."Remor thought and leaned in closer to Misfortune to hear her better.

"One day, my daddy threw a big rock on my head, because he was angry at me that time."
This is the stone that daddy threw at me once, I call him 'Stoney'," Misfortune said while showing Stoney to Remor.

"Oh dear, Is that blood on that rock?"
"I can't imagine, how could a father do this to her own daughter?!"Remor said surprised.

Misfortune just made a fake smile innocently. Then she continued:-

"One day, I was playing in my room, until I heard a voice in my head, telling me that I was going to die today."
When, I told him I could hear him and asked him whether I am going to die today or not? , that voice said, that no one is gonna die today."

For some reason, Remor was getting a bit anxious on hearing, that voice told her she was gonna die that day.

"I decided to call that voice, Mr. Voice" He told me, that if I played his game. He would give me the prize of "Eternal Happiness". So, I played his game and hoped to find that prize and give it to my mother."

Remor was surprised on hearing, that this small child who is so sad inside, and deserves some happiness, wants to give the prize of "Eternal Hapiness" to her mother, instead of herself.

"She is such a different girl, and I don't think I have met a child like her before."
"Why am I feeling so sad for her all of a sudden?" Remor thought, who couldn't believe what he was hearing.

I went on an great adventure with Mr. Voice and visited many places, until I found out who Mr. Voice truly was.

"When I didn't wanted to play his game anymore, he threatened me to continue play it no matter what, saying his game is the only thing keeping me alive". Misfortune said with a sad face.

"Finally, before Mr. Voice tried to attack me, Benjamin, my fox friend saved me by attacking Mr. Voice."
Misfortune said with a weak smile.

"Wait, What? A fox attacked Morgo?!" Remor was surprised as well angry to hear, that a stupid fox tried to hurt his lover.

Suddenly, Remor noticed Misfortune was crying. It was way too much for Remor to handle.

"W-When Mr. Voice left me, I found out that I-I was dead, the whole time ever since I crossed the road." Misfortune said while crying.

"Oh no, please don't cry Misfortune." Remor said while trying to comfort her.

"My dad killed me, by crushing me with his car, while I was crossing the road", Misfortune said while tears started to fall down her face.

Out of nowhere, Misfortune suddenly hugged Remor, which caught him by surprise.

"Uncle Remor, what bad things I did, to deserve to die like that?"
"Why did everyone hated me, when I was alive?" Misfortune asked Remor with tears in her eyes.

"You never deserved to die like that, little child."
"It was your father's fault, that you died and suffered like that." Remor said while hugging her carefully as possible.

"But, now you have Morgo, and me... I guess, we both will take care of you Misfortune."
"You won't be sad anymore, Morgo will take care of you just like a true dad, I believe that".

"Trust me, I know him very well.", Remor said while noticing Misfortune stopped crying.

"Really? Alright I guess, I will trust you what you said, and I hope it's true.", Misfortune said while wiping her tears away.

Remor smiled on seeing that Misfortune stopped crying.

Suddenly, a few crows entered Morgo's room silently and sat on a high stand on a bookshelf, so Remor and Misfortune won't hear them coming.

"Uncle Remor, why don't you stay with Mr. Voice all the time in this mansion?" I mean, you are his best friend right?

And you are a Prince, so you can easily visit him anytime, since you don't really have to work right?" Misfortune asked curiously.

Remor sort of blushed on hearing, that he should stay with him all the time, almost like he should marry him.
He said, "Misfortune, I have a lot of work as a Prince, and I can't stay all the time here, as I have to go soon and look after my kingdom and my people's well being."

"But yes, I will try my best to visit my 'best friend' soon again." Remor said while smiling.

Misfortune nodded and said, "I can understand, anyway you are my friend too right, Uncle Remor?".

Remor smiled and said, "Of course I am, Misfortune."

Soon, Remor heard a knock on the door of the room. He opened to see, it was Morgo who was smiling and sort of panting a bit.

"Oh hey Morgo, you finished training your crows, I hope?" Remor asked while Morgo sat on the bed catching his breath.

"Yes, I did."
"I am really tired right now, and desperately need some sleep right now."
"If you could, can you look after Misfortune for atleast 2 hrs?"
"It's okay, if you don't want to."
Morgo said while looking at Remor with eyes full of tiredness.

Remor was surprised to see Morgo this tired, and immediately said, "Of course, why not Morgo?
You take some rest, alright."

Morgo layed down on the bed beside Misfortune and said, "Thanks Remor, it means a lot."

Remor smiled on hearing Morgo's reply. He noticed Morgo was fast asleep now.

Remor gestured to Misfortune to stay quiet, which Misfortune understood and giggled softly.

Misfortune started drawing, while Remor observed her, thinking: "Never thought, I would feel pity for a child, and become her friend".

"I guess, she is indeed a special child, whom even Morgo likes.", Remor thought smiling a bit.
