As the three brothers grew older, they grew further away from each others heart. Withholding their love. Remote, with apparently little to say. No words, no tears, no kind of stuff. Falling from their distant lives. Living with new thoughts, new friends, fierce enemies, and new lovers.. A trouple of sons, gambling with time. 

The sons of a rotten father, misled by the mothers past. Adiro became spurred to violence. Rather than be a man, he became a ruler. Pursued by biting flies. Betrayal pain often leads to succes. The betrayer a psychological mess.

The love of the children evaporates. Evident in the lives of kings. Urge for power and brotherhood saturates. Ignores duty, gratitude, those kinds of things.

But hell, so what? They once.. objects of their beaming infant smiles.. received such a lot..

But now we all know families are rarely friends; Brother fights brother, sister quarrels with sister. Batlling incessantly, despising each carefully chosen lover. Examining each other critically. The succes of one initiates gloom, a show of brilliance. 
A thunderous rain-wrenched bloom..

And that's the issue between Adiro and Chris..

Adiro slowly kneeled down on his knees in his garden, in front of his huge palace.

And then the tears.. Salty drops of transparent fears hidden like ghosts in attic.. They fall down his face in streams and grow into rivers of sadness. A deep blackness growing deeper.. Remembering how he was yelling.. screaming.. 

He (Edward) was scared to close his eyes, he felt it capturing his soul. It is an outline, and it paralyzed him. He can't move, because it has sown his spine to the bed. He couldn't move. Adiro saw how he tried to scream and then he heard a faint gust of wind.

Adiro didn't know.. But Edward felt it.. Felt him. The devil was near. What happened to him? Did he get cursed from her shadow? Why was all this happening? If it continues, he'd lose his own mind and rip himself apart in tornment. Her shadow has sent him to torture him. It was twisting and turning. But only Edward saw it. And Its possessive eyes lock on his. His body cringes because his eyes can't look away. 

Edward was forced to look into its eyes. His body cried for freedom. He still can't move. Why can't he move? He must be in Hell. His brain was being juiced. Every inch of his body was crying for help. He couldn't move. Terror. Absolute terror has entered down his soul. He woke up shaking in sweat. Confused, terrified because he knew he wasn't dreaming. Edward was getting haunted. Everyone has a little darkness in the corner of their minds, that sometimes takes over their mind and drowns them into the blackness, of nothing but terror. 

Oh, Edward..

Knowing he's going through all this hurt Adiro. He was disappointed in himself. He couldn't even protect his own little brother.

Tears have molded the lines on Adiros face. Throughout years, like the unseen scar on his broken heart and tears. Wet reminders of his childhood-No. Teenhood fears were always his companion as long as they were apart. 

He looked up to the sky with those tear-filled eyes, gently raising his hands up towards the air for a prayer. 

"Dear Lord.. Only you can see how i suffer. Today i pray you'll watch over my brother. When he's weak, please keep him in your hands.. Give him the strength he needs to fight through this.. Be his light when he need guidance in the dark. I can't... I can't stand the walls he has built up.. It's a pain that im always burdened to mask. I know it's selfish, but Lord i ask.. Please.. End his suffering.." He was praying for God from the bottom of his heart. He was the type to believe in God, but he was never the type to pray and ask for help.
