Kael lived in dark alleys, sewers, and garbage dumps... The most foul places were his only safe places. He sat in a corner, clutching a piece of old blood-stained glass. If anyone came near, even if they just reached out—he would stab them. Not out of revenge, but out of an unconscious fear that if he didn't do so, a part of his soul would be taken away again.Sometimes, kael would cut himself to feel that he still existed. He wasn't afraid of death, only of being taken back to that place.
