Third Person POV

The early morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the spacious living room of Ajax's modest cottage. Ajax stood at the window, watching the world outside with a furrowed brow.

His thoughts were consumed by the weighty responsibilities that rested on his shoulders, the constant pressure to lead and protect weighing heavily on his mind. But amidst the chaos of his daily life, there was one thing that brought him solace: his daughter, Kevi.

His bundle of joy, Kevi, toddled into the room with her favorite stuffed toy snake clenched tightly in her small hands. Her laughter filled the air like music, a sweet melody that chased away the shadows of Ajax's troubled thoughts.

"Appa!" Kevi exclaimed, her face breaking into a wide grin as she spotted her father standing by the window. "Come play with me!"

Ajax's heart melted at the sight of his daughter's infectious smile, a warmth spreading through him that he hadn't felt in years. He pushed aside his worries and crossed the room to kneel beside her, his stern expression softening as he wrapped her in a tight embrace.

"Of course, Kevi," he replied, his voice gentle as he ruffled her hair affectionately. "What would you like to do today?"

Kevi's eyes sparkled with excitement as she bounced on the balls of her feet, her imagination already running wild with possibilities. "Let's go to the park, Appa!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with anticipation. "I want to play on the swings and the slide!"

Ajax couldn't help but smile at his daughter's enthusiasm, a warmth spreading through him at the thought of spending the day with her. "Sounds like a plan, Kevi," he said, standing up and taking her hand in his. "Let's go have some fun."

The park was alive with the sounds of children laughing and playing as Ajax and Kevi made their way through the bustling crowds. Kevi's eyes widened with wonder as she took in the colorful playground equipment, her excitement palpable as she tugged on Ajax's hand, urging him to hurry.

Ajax chuckled at his daughter's impatience, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of her eager anticipation. Together, they raced towards the swings, Kevi's laughter echoing through the air as Ajax pushed her higher and higher into the sky.

As they played, Ajax couldn't help but marvel at the sheer joy and innocence radiating from his daughter. In her presence, the weight of his responsibilities as a leader seemed to fade away, replaced by a sense of wonder and awe.

"Higher, Appa, higher!" Kevi squealed, her eyes shining with excitement as she soared through the air.

Ajax obliged, pushing her with a bit more strength until she was flying so high that her feet seemed to touch the clouds. He cracked a smile at the sight of his daughter's laughter.

As the day wore on, Ajax and Kevi explored every corner of the park, their laughter mingling with the sounds of nature as they chased each other through fields of wildflowers and climbed trees in search of hidden treasures. Ajax watched in delight as Kevi fearlessly tackled each new challenge, her determination shining like a beacon in the afternoon sun.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the park, Ajax and Kevi made their way back home, their hearts full and their spirits light. Ajax couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude wash over him as he watched his daughter skip along beside him, her laughter filling the air like music.

As they reached the familiar path that led back to their house, Ajax couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, he knew that as long as he had Kevi by his side, everything would be okay.
