24th December. Other than this day being Christmas, it was not much of a special date to one eccentric man in Clover Kingdom. William Vangeance, bare-faced, stood up from the silk sheets of his bed and rubbed his eyes to welcome the day before him, light from his balcony (he has one here, so shush.) casting light upon his face.

Stretching as he stood up, he neatly folded the used quilts and placed the pillows to where they were situated before he slept on them last night, before walking towards the windowsill and opening it, as a flock of various kinds of birds swarmed him like the Snow White that he is.

The sounds of the birds chirping were music to his ears, but to someone else, it was rather a nuisance.

'You've been doing that for years, William. Grow up will you?' Patri sneered. The elf did not dislike birds, actually, he's used to seeing and hearing them chirp every morning since before, he liked to hide in the shade of the tree where many birds live, but to be accustomed to William's company is another thing. 

'Is that how you should greet me today, Patri?' the boy with eyes as gold as the sun scoffed.

'I'm sorry. Happy birthday, my friend.' Vangeance smiled at his friend's acknowledgment. Carefully placing the newborn bird back in its nest using his World Tree Magic to extend the branches of the tree, he bids his other friends a good day before heading towards the bathroom to freshen up before breakfast.

Despite reminding them countless times, members of the Golden Dawn continued to pursue their plans to surprise their captain and greet him a happy birthday. William smiled at them as Letoile lit the birthday cake's candles up and Alecdora took it from her hands, bringing it closer to his captain.

Hearing them sing the melodious song one chants during birthday celebrations was more than enough to the masked man as his day of birth has never been celebrated before. Considered to be a cursed child, her parents, particularly his Mother, considered December 24th as an ill-fated day he was given to them.
