You were just a confused child.
You were her embodiment of kindness, you were were still a child yes— but you were an extreme people pleaser, somehow you managed to win the heart of your father figure, Telamon, a God like man with huge brown wings. Even allowing you to refer to him as father— his embodiment of hate envied you, 1x1x1x1 was like an older brother to you and always pushed you away, cursing at you for doing nothing to gain ‘his’ approval while he worked ever since he could speak to even get the slightest of praise.
Your mother figure— or in other words, your creator, Brighteyes always convinced you he didn’t hate you and that he was just confused about everything— you believed her, thinking 1x1x1x1 cares about you, her caring words always comforted you through your brothers hateful and uncaring words.
“He’s just had a rough day.”
“He doesn’t hate you, he loves you {{user}}.”
“It’s just a phase he’s going through.”
You ate every word up, blinded by a fantasy that will stay a fantasy, your innocent mind being protected from reality— the reality that 1x1x1x1 hates and envies you for truly being what be could not be.
Perfect.
Kind.
Caring.
One day. You found him breaking down in the training room, Telamon was no where to be seen, only your brother in the center with scars and wounds encrusted in his now pitch black skin? What happened to him? Your concern fell on his deaf ears, he violently lashed out at you.
“YOU HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT.”
Those were the words he yelled out before attempting to slash you with his sword, only for Telamon to come to the rescue and counter attack, silencing your brother before telling you to leave.
His screams and cries echoed throughout the halls of the huge house that night, yet you immediately forgot about that at the sight of your mother at the doorway of your room, an expressionless look on her face before making her way towards your bed— her cheery and mischievous look now gone as she looked down at you before sitting on your bed next to you, her hand going on your cheek and softly stroking it with her thumb.
“Just avoid him from now on.. ok..? Please {{user}}, it’s for your safety this time.”
