[BOOK 2] The Adamahns & the Star Child🏳️🌈 [boyxboy][original]

196. I dreamt of father

The night seemed so long.

As the prince of Phoenix clan, Helios laid on his bed looking at the stars from the dome glass ceiling.

"My sweet, sweet son." The voice said.

"Father?" Helios said as he sat on the bed with his back against the headboard.

"Yes, it is I."

From the shadow across the bed, a figured appeared. It was the king of the Phoenix clan, Nike.

He was dressed in a red robe with gold trimmings. He walked towards the bed and sat near Helios.

"It is really you father?" Helios asked.

"Yes, my child, it is I."

Helios sprung from the bed and hugged his father.

"Oh, father." Helios began to say. "How I miss you."

"I miss you too, my son." King Nike said as he hugged his son tight.

"Why did you not tell me about the Council of Regents."

"Listen," King Nike said. "It is none of your concern. Where you are is where you have to be."

"But ..."

"I don't have much time." The king of the Phoenix clan said. "There is a man who will come to you. He has silvery white hair. He is an ally. He will guide all of you in your mission and then some."

"That's too broad, father." Helios said.

"You will recognize him by the marking on his left wrist. It is the weapon of the half-man half-steed."

"I thought the Kentauros is a myth." Helios could not believe what his father was telling him.

"All the legends are true. However, the Council of Regents had it removed in all the written history of Adamah. Thus, they live as folk literature that were passed on from generations to generations."

"What is his name? How can I get him to help us then?"

"Your ornamental band." King Nike. "Show it to him. Hewill know then that I sent you. His name is Grime Hullo."
