One night, Xiao is ambushed while on his nightly patrols. His foe proofing to be a challenge for the adeptus. Unlike the thousands of enemies he's easily defeated before, this one seems to be too powerful to take down in his human form. With the stakes against him, Xiao makes a decision... he is forced to shapeshift into his illuminated beast form. *Disclaimer* I do not own any of these characters this is just for fun and entertainment only.

The night sky will never be fully illuminated despite its countless stars. But can one who has lived in darkness dream of a sun? A sun with its light eradicating every chain that prevents oneself to bask in the rays of sunshine. Tormented for years in his past and carrying the burden from the fallen gods for thousands of years, Xiao have never opened himself to anyone. Yet this boy, with such eagerness to help and understand him, extended his hand in his sea of shadows. "I'm always here for you if you need me," Aether said softly- Like the warmth he's been looking for eversince. Will the strong wall that surrounded Xiao's heart crumble as a result of the sunlight? Will he be able to find happiness after suffering for centuries?
