The room was silent....not even the sound of crickets could be heard

The door opened...creaking slightly
As a shadowy figure walked in where the two shapeshifters where resting

Sitting next to them...

...

....

Sigh

"Look at you"
"You're in such a sorry state"

"It's all my fault"

He rubbed his forehead in frustration and sorrow

"If only I could have been faster....more competent"

He got up...his huge size blocking the moon light, he watches the city from high up in the castle...

"But I'm never competent...not back then....and even now"

His eye dart to a specific location immediately...as he glances at that place on a daily basis...
To never allow himself to forget

.........

Everyday....a new baby is born...

However not every baby is wanted...
Not every parent is willing to care for them...
Some of them are cowards....

However John always had a positive mindset

"Just as innocence and good can be corrupted into evil....we can take advantage of evil actions and use them for something good"

And so he built an orphanage....for children abandoned by their parents...

He built it with his own two hands as saving enough money would take too long

He had a sense of responsibility and felt like he needed to take action immediately

At first he struggled to buy food for the children....but he educated them and played with them...

And little by little...with a bit of help from his relatives and friends

The orphanage grew....
Until it gathered enough attention to reach the queen's ears

And she supported it....

Though one particular boy from that orphanage had eyes full of dreams and ambition...
He was innocent and kind
And wanted to become a knight

The queen admired his attitude and decided to help him with his dream...

That boy was called....Ballister

Named by John himself

The boy grew up to become the best of his class...showing his immense talent and potential

But on the day of the incident...John and all the other children and young adults who lived in the orphanage once watched with exciting as Ballister became a knight

However nothing went as planned...

The queen was killed...

The boys who looked up to him fell to disappointment...and a sense of betrayal

And John was left devastated...

He wanted to clarify this whole ordeal himself

He tried to find Ballister....investigating day and night
