There has been a known fact over the years that Steves can life for a very long time
Most live until there 80s or 90s, but with the times with the darkness. Most do not live that long
So it becomes odd when a Steve, comes up more than a few things in their books
Of course, the Steve was not always the same color
But the near same injuries...

Orange King POV

Papers are slammed onto my desk and I jump from the surprise of the act
I look at the papers for a moment than back up to the white figure
" this is not just a fairytale" light Steve said as he stood in front of the desk
His hair a mess and looking as if he had not slept in a few days
"What do you mean?..."
I said as I took one of the slips of papers and looked over it as light Steve started to get his words the way he pleased
The new slip of paper seem to be of a Steve
The Steve of the paper is a green Steve with nasty wounds all of him from what he can tell from the paper and the wound he has over his eye
I raised a brow as I looked back up at the white Steve
The white Steve pushed the papers to me to look over as he started
"You know how we do a count of all the Steve's every 5 years or so right" light asked as he looked back at the me
I nodded as I flapped over some of the papers to many other Steve's
There were Steve's of all kind of colors
But they all had some kind of injury, near all of them have messing arms or legs.
But the most thing that is consistent was the wound over the eye
It looks like a bomb blow up in their face
"These kinds of Steve's have been seen for over generations, sometimes they are Gardner, farmers or a blacksmith. But they all have that eye" light side as he ponied at the said eye on the page
"And from what I can tell from my research—" " have you been stalking this green Steve?"
Light started but was cut off when I looked at him with a raised brow
Light looked a little puzzled before he stated
"Nooo..." light said looking to the side and than back at me
"But I had tried to follow the blood line of these Steve and find out none of them ever had children"
Light said as he looked at me
I looked at the papers again, sure not all Steve's like children or even want them. So this was a little abnormal
"I see..." I said as I placed the papers down
"So what would you like to do or why have you brought this to me?"
I asked as I looked at the white Steve
"I wish that we question this Steve and see if they know anything or they are the Steve from all of those papers"
Light said with a smile as he looked at me
I sighed and rubbed my face
"Fine, just know if they ask you to leave or to go away you do so"
I state as I push the paperwork he brought for me
He nodded and took the paperwork and left
Hopefully this goes fine, besides no Steve could live for that long

??? POV

Today was a good day, nothing happened and everyone had a great day. I smiled as I took the food bowls from the floor and started to fill them with dog and cat food for the pets by my feet
The morning was quiet and peaceful as I got ready for the day. I had some shopping to do as well as some repairing to my home, I put the food down and let the pets have their fill as I want to shower. The feeling of the cold water running down my skin felt nice on my old scars, as I got out and want to dry my wet hair. I hear a knock on the door, how odd. No one ever bothered me this early in the morning
With a towel around my waist I want over to the door and open it
There stood a white Steve that wear the same color armor. He stood there tall and a little confused
"What can I do you for"
I asked as I leaned on the doorway of my home.
The white Steve was a bit confused on why I was not dressed but paid no mind to it
"I am here to ask some questions if you do not mind"
The white Steve said with an air of want in his tone
"And what is these questions for"
I said calmly
"Just curiously"
The white one told
I thought for a moment than nodded as I let him into my home
"That's fine, just sit on my couch as I got get dressed"
I said calmly as I turned and went back to my room to get out of the towel and into something comfortable

Light Steve POV

The house is very homey, there is a smell of some kind of flower and there were some dog toys laying around on the ground well a cat tree sat by one of the walls
So they had pets? That could explain the sounds coming from the kitchen
I sat down on the couch, the feeling of the couch was nice and comfortable as I waited for the Steve to come back....
That Steve was covered in scars, most to all of them were old and faded from what light could tell. But the way that the Steve acted, they have become accustomed to having them
I sighed as I looked over to see a cat walking it's way out of the kitchen with a pleasant look on its face, maybe it was happy for its meal
The cat did not look my way as it made it's way to the cat tree and relaxed
Soon a wolf came as well but he seem to be happy to see myself and walked its way over
The dog was happy to have me pet him as it's tail wagged happily. The fur was soft and the wolf was trained well to not jump on me and be completely calm
Soon I heard the door open as the 'green' Steve came out of the room with clothes that completely covered his scars, well the once's on his body and his missing arm
"So what is you need to ask"
The 'green' Steve asked as he sat down on an old recliner and looked at me
I took a deep breath as I took out the papers I made a well ago and handed them over to
The 'green' Steve raised a brow as he grabbed the papers with his hand
"And what may this be?" The green Steve asked as he put the files on his lap and opened the folder up to see what was inside
"Who are you"
I asked in a serious tone as he looked at the 'green' Steve who just looked over the files and papers that were given to him
"Sage"
The green— Sage said as he looked back up
"And why does this matter to all of this"
Sage said as he held up the papers that were given him
I took a deep breath as I look at the deeply wounded Steve
"All of these look too similar to be a coincidence"
I said not giving Sage time to respond
"They all have the same wounds they all have the same look and feel to them, I'm sorry but it has to be you"
I said as I looked Sage in the eyes as he thought of something
Sage took a deep breath
"Is that all"
He said as he tilted his head
I shook my head
"No I want to know about you more and if what I and thinking is true or not"
I said calmly as I watched Sage
Sage rubbed his face as he looked around his livingroom
"I am old yes, but not that old"
Sage said as he pointed at the papers
"These papers go back to over 200 years ago"
Sage said as he picked up the oldest papers
"No Steve ever lived that long...."
He said his tone more quiet and soft
With that the room became quiet again
A feeling of lost as the room went quiet
Sage coughed into his arm before he continued
"Even if I lived that long, how would I be able to do so? I know some Steve's that are maybe 90-100 years old, but they have that kind of power to keep them alive"Sage said as he moved closer to give the papers back and sat comfortable in his chair
"I'm just a green Steve that seen some shit" sage chuckled darkly, the look in his eyes looked odd as he sigh and looked  back at me
I thought for a moment
"We do not know a lot of the past of Steve's"I said as I lend back into the couch cushions  as I thought to myself
"A lot of our history was taken or destroyed when the darkness began a real problem, we could have other of our kind out there but we have nothing to say we do, the oldest would be that one red Steve but he is not all there"
I said with a chuckle
"So if you were... it could help if you think about it. Give the pats of the Steve's back to us" I said as I stood up and Sage did the same seeing that I was getting ready to leave
"You never know how much we could lean if someone from long ways in the past came back" I said with a shrug
The green Steve thought as he lead me back to the door and let me out
He looked like he had something  he wanted to say but guess against it
"Well thank you for your time anyways, sorry to bother you with this"
Light said as he waved to the green Steve and started to leave
"Wait"
Light stopped as he turned back to the green Steve
Light did not know when but they got a book from somewhere and what holding it out for light
"Just.... Keep it to yourself, or just do not let it be damaged"
The green Steve said as I hesitantly took the book
It looked old, way older then any of the oldest books we have ever found
I was about to ask something when the door shut quickly and I was left there with so many questions then answers, and a very old looking book.....
