Chapter. 1 Surprise in The Ruins

It was a cool Autumn day in Elysia, and has been about a year since Sorey had woken up from his 700 year slumber. Today he was awakened just like any other by his husband Mikleo gently kissing him awake before going to start breakfast. Him and Mikleo had been married for only three months, but since the wedding they just finally felt they truly belonged to each other, and they felt happy and wholesome. After the two of them ate they headed out into the village to get some work done for gramps before heading to explore the ruins nearby. Even though they have been there before it was just nice to go every once and awhile, to remind them of where they were now in life.

Admiring the ruin carvings quietly and remembering his own adventures, Sorey stood in front of giant stone cravings of a past shepherd. Even though he was still the shepherd, Sorey was also now a Seraph as well. He was now a lightning seraph like gramps, and what a doozy training was when he first started. His hair was still brown and a bit longer that it reaches his shoulders but he kept it pulled back. He also had lighter ends now similar to the color his hair turned to when in an armatus. His eyes were the same forest green but his outfit is now different to complement his seraph side. Sorey took a long deep breath before sighing happily. Things were peaceful and full of life and it made him happy that all his hard work as the Shepherd had paid off.

Sorey turned around to go and find where Mikleo had headed off to when he froze in complete shock. Standing in front of him was a little girl, no more then 7 with light brown hair pulled into loss pigtails and spring green eyes. She wore a pink dress that went to about her knees with a white long sleeved shirt under it and no shoes, only dirty white socks on her feet. She had bad bruising on her face as well as cuts. Dry blood was stained on her dress and fresh tears roll from her wide eye's. They just stared at each other for a few moments before Sorey quickly snapped out of his shock. He slowly kneeled down to the ground and outstretched his hand to her. 

"Hey, it's okay I won't hurt you sweetheart. My name's Sorey." 

The little girl blinked at him a few times before running into his arms shacking. Sorey let out a little gasp of surprise. Wrapping his arms and picking her up before running off to find Mikleo. When Mikleo saw his husband and the girl, he entered a similiar state of shock. He quickly ran over and tried to take the small girl in his arms but she just whined and gripped onto Sorey tightly, like he was a lifeline. Knowing she wouldn't let go anytime soon, Mikleo healed her the best of his ability before they decided it was best to get her back to the village and let gramps take a look at her.
