It was true what the king of the Aeolian clan said about the prince of the Phoenix clan being spoiled and all. After all, Helios had only lived in the palace, surrounded by servants and was more into scholastic pursuits than the political and military affairs of the kingdom.

In a nutshell, the first prince of the Phoenix clan was far from the likeness of his father who was charismatic leader, had physical prowess and tactical mind.

Prince Helios cried knowing that what the king of the Aeolian clan had said about him was true. However, he cried more knowing that a lot of people had to make sacrifices in order for him to live.

"We all know how frightening this must be to you." North began to say. "This great burden that was bestowed upon you, you do not have to carry it alone. That is what his Majesty is trying to say to you."

North paused.

"We are all here for you, Prince Luca and your father, we are all willingly to make these sacrifices not only for the sake of Adamah. But most importantly, for us to find a solution for you to stay alive." North continued.

"And, being here in Adamah, will not help us achieve that. The longer you stay here in Adamah, the strong the Star Child becomes." Henry added.

Everyone was silent.

The prince of the Phoenix clan wiped the tears from his eyes.

"I do apology everyone," Helios began to say. "I do not know what to do. But, I will stay strong for the sake of our people. I thank you all for helping me in carry my burden."

Henry placed his right hand on Helios' shoulder.

"It is not your burden alone to carry. It is our burden as well." Henry said. "No matter what, together we will find a solution to all of this."
