Two dark figures walk through the night streets searching for a house to place the little bundle of wonder. "Are you sure it's the right thing to do, sir?" a young man questioned his elder. The elder turns around and studies his lower ranking member who has pale skin with black hair while looking too feminine for a guy or maybe so is a girl, after all, that's a question that will always cloud within the family. "Are you questioning my judgment for that little worm?" the elder with white and gray hair and beard looks stern at his low member then looks at the bundle in his low member's arms. "N-no sir I would never question...." he nervously answered back, then he looked down at the bundle he was carrying in his arms "This is just a baby.." "Yes, who's birth caused so many lives in our family that now I have to rebuild and protect!!" the elder crossed his arms while turning away from his low member and observed one of the houses. "This one will do" the elder declared as the low member looks over at his side and shakes his head "The people inside lack common courtesy, sir. We shouldn't put him there!" the low member pleads "And why not? Do you want to watch over this worm?" the elder turns around quickly and stomped towards his low member as the member recoiled while holding the bundle close to his chest as means of protection. "Raise him?! Bathe him!? Love him?!" the elder barked while stomping closer as the member's back touches the tree. "Do you really want to risk our family more?" the elder growled deeply while leaning in close to his low member. "N-no.." low member cowered "Then he is going to stay and live in that house and besides, if he was raised in a so-called 'good family' then he'll be weak when it's time for him to come back. Do you want that?" The elder strongly asked. Low member shakes his head "Good and I expect you to learn to stay in your place, Logan." the elder stands up straight and turns around "Just because you have our family name, Dufort, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want or question your superiors. You need to increase your rank in order to do that. I hope your Bishop trainer told you this, I hate to see our family's bishop failing us." The elder threatens "Sir Maynard, there is no need. It's my fault for questioning your judgment. I'll take the punishment" Logan confessed and bows his head while holding the bundle. "Your punishment will be to deliver the worm to the house and watch him get taken away by the family. I believe you took care of him for awhile before our Head Family Leaders made the decision to kick him out the of family?" Maynard stated it. "Of course, Sir" Logan nods while looking at the ground then Maynard starts to walk away "Come back home once you've completed your order" he stated as he disappeared into the night. Logan holds out the bundle and slowly revealed a healthy baby boy who was softly woken up and stared at Logan's light brown eyes. "Hey, there little one," Logan said softly as the baby smiles "I'm going to take you to a wonderful family" Logan lies then walks towards the house "You're going to love it here.." Logan sadly looks down a bit then smiles and looks at the baby "I'll try to cast a happy spell on this family, even if it means I'm going to be punished more but I don't care because I promised someone I'd give you a happy life, no matter what" he slowly placed the baby down on the doorstep then knocked on the door loudly then disappeared. The baby boy starts to scream and cry when the man that he loved disappeared. A woman in pink gown opens the door then looked down as the baby's cries grew loudly soon she picks him up "Who left a baby here?" she said grumpily. The baby slowly stops crying as he was being picked up by a woman he doesn't know then was taken inside of the house while seeing a man on the stairs in his pjs "Who is the baby?" "Just someone's birth mistake now that we need to take care of." "We already have kids." "I know but this one can be our little free servent" the woman and the man spoke to each other while the baby boy just stared in confusion, not understanding the woman and the man. The man goes into their bedroom and the woman went into an old baby room and placed the baby in the old crib then left while closing the door. The baby looks up at the ceiling while the moonlight shines on his crib through the window where his crib is close by. The window slowly opens and a blue butterfly comes in and flies around the room then lands on the baby's nose. As the blue butterfly touched the baby's nose, the baby sneezed then the blue butterfly flies next to the crib and turns into the man he loves. "Sorry there, little one" Logan chuckles softly then summons a blue blanket and covers the baby, the baby looks at the blanket. "There you'll be warm now" Logan smiles and leans in close to the baby's face then the baby looks up at him soon smiles while closing his eyes. The baby feels water on his face then open his eyes to meet sad and wet eyes. "I'm so sorry that I can't take care of you anymore. You're going to be raised by a horrible family....I'll cast a happy spell on this family in order for them to keep you healthy until you can take care of yourself" Logan cries a bit then stands up and pulls out his oak wand and soon starts to delicately moved his wand as light blue butterflies starts to come out of his wand and fly around the room as his eyes were closed then the butterflies disappears. "There the spell is cast, little one" Logan said and opened his eyes while smiling at the baby "I hope you enjoyed the show. I see you're not sleepy. How about a little tune?" Logan touched the baby's cheek "aa raw reu u baby aa raw reu u yaa" Logan sings softly and slowly while the baby boy yawns while slowly closing his eyes "duermase Mi baby duermase yaa" the baby falls asleep then Logan kissed his forehead "I love you little one" then a tear slowly falls from his cheek soon turns into a blue butterfly and leaves the room through the window while using his magic to close the window behind him. The blue butterfly flew away from the house and up into the beautiful night sky where stars shone brightly. A dark hooded figure watches from afar looking at the butterfly then looks at the house as the butterfly disappears into the night sky, the dark figure walks towards the house and stops in the front yard. The dark figure pulls out its wand and points it at the house, the light blue butterflies that were on the parents and children, but not on the baby, were slowly dying and fading into thin blue air and going into the wand. Soon all the butterflies die and go into the dark figure's wand then the figure puts their wand away. The dark hooded figure nods slowly and walks away towards where it came from then stops halfway and looks back slowly pulling out its wand and points it to the house as its hand shakes while holding the wand debating to give back what they took away, but suddenly the figure turns and runs away.
