Present Time
As Ignoues and Galleous and Val walk for why seemed like hours they finally make it to an archway says Welcome To Pikoro and as they walk in the see everyone working on the fields but the weird thing was there was not a single child in sight not even a mother holding an infent. Galleous decides to talk to a young lady who was tending to a small farm, "excuse me but um what happened here and we're are all the children" she turns to face an and had a bit of dirt on her face probably from all the work in the fields, "oh well most children in our community are orphans and live in the orphanage just up the road" she starts pointing up the road we're two large metal gates," thank you, oh and is there perhaps a inn we can stay a inn" Galleous asked then the lady nods and points behind her towards the house with an inn sign hanging from it as Galleous an Igneous thank the nice woman they make their way towards the inn. Val was amazed by all than use was seeing. How the leaves were colors of fall and not Green like the ones in Ataraxia, "don't doddle Val keep up" Galleous says as Val runs to catch up with Galleous and Igneous.

Inside of the inn was small and had a few tables for dinning and a small area with some books for reading which Igneous went over to take a peak at as Galleous walks overs the check in table, "excuse Me but me and my friends would like to peaches a room for the night" Galleous asked as the man looks up in a bit of a confused look, "um are you ok sir" Igneous asked as he walks over then the man shock his head, "oh sorry I was just thinking you look so much like someone who lives here" the man says looking at Galleous which then Galleous was shocked to hear and usually when someone says that they usually referred to Thalleous, "well I do have a younger twin brother who went missing two months ago" Galleous explains,"well then now back to business, for on night that will be two gold" the man says as Galleous hands him the gold then the man hands over a key, "down the hall first door to the left"the man says and with a thank you Galleous and Igneous and Val walk toward thier room.

As they get settled something was bugging Galleous which then Igneous seemed to share the same thought, "that was strange. I wonder what the man ment by you look someone who lives here" Igneous asked," I have no idea but do you remember where you and Senn went to stay for the night went you got here" Galleous asked which then Igneous nods," yes we stayed at in the orphanage's barn. We didn't want to be rude an wake whoever lives in the house but we could see light but still" Igneous says,"wise choice cause we have no idea who lives there but we can only hope that we find Senn" Galleous says unaware of who he will meet when he goes to that orphanage. Val was also curious about this so call orphanage and was curious to se it.

(Meanwhile At the orphanage)
Senn was hiding in some bushes waiting for the children to find him, he only let out a quite sigh then from out of nowhere he hears something, "gotcha" a voice say pinning him as always the children gather around and start to laught, "you got him Michi well done" one of the older kids says as Senn gets back up he says the Meif'wa girl name Michi. She had light purple hair with black ears similar to another Meif'wa's only Michi had green eyes while to other Meif'wa has gold, "Michi and Kawai-Chan are sisters" Senus says pointing to the two Meif'wa girls. As everyone was getting ready for another around they hear a bell then look over and see Thalleous ringing a bell meaning it was time to come inside.

As the children all lay down in their beds Thalleous limps over an takes a seat in his rocking chair then on kid taps him on the leg, "can you sing us your lullaby again please" Kawaii-Chan asked then Thalleous, "another nightmare Kawaii-Chan" Thalleous asked as she nods her hea and Thalleous just le out a sigh and nods then al the children giggle and even Senn was a bit curious about this as Thalleous cleared his throat ready to sing his lullaby, "Sleep little one, close your eyes. Your body's cooling with the night. Let your worries slip away, tomorrow is brand new Day. Shimmering moon and satin sky, Soft wind breezes lullaby. Dreams are here to set you free, the dawn will bring you back to me. The Dawn will bring you back to me" as Thalleous finished Senn notice the tear rolling down Thalleous's face and then notice a little Meif'wa girl asleep in his lap and then Senn also falls a sleep as that was a beautiful lullaby to hear even if it was from an old man.

As morning rose Galleous and Igneous and Val  made their way towards the metal gates with another Welcome carved on it. As they open the gates and walk down the path lit by lanterns and send the barn as they walk into the barn they see the barn was empty, "wait this can't be right Senn and I were right here unless" Igneous paused then he could hear laughter from the house next door. As they made there way up the stairs then Galleous ring the door bell as it opens they see a little clanless child no more than maybe five look at them, "excuse us but we're is the housekeeper" Galleous ask as the child walks away then Galleous couldn't not believe his eyes Thalleous standing there in the kitchen cooking up a meal for the children then as the clanless kid taps Thalleous's thigh he look down a the kid points and then sees Galleous and is about to cry as he limps over towards him, "Galleous is that really you" Thalleous says with a face full of tears then as Galleous nods they hug each other and burst into tears, "I thought I lost you" Galleous says, "same here but I've been through worst but please come in you are always welcome. We have a lot to catch up on" Thalleous says limping over towards his chair he feels this pain in his chest then grabs his chest in pain as one of the kids runs over to help him to his chair when seeing this Galleous becomes concerned with his brothers health. The table was full of at least one dozen chairs and the table had a tone of plates full of food. As everyone talked and ate Galleous seemed to notice Thalleous hadn't touch a single thing on his plate although usually Thalleous would eat anything mainly the meat due back in the war fruits were hard to come by but not pigs or other meats, "Thalleous you haven't eaten a thing since we've been here" Galleous says but no response as Thalleous just looked down with a frown on his face then one kids seems to notice this as well, "Mister Thally you seem tired. And besides your hurt-" just before the little girl was finished Thalleous hushed her and told her to eat which made Galleous more concerned than he already was but decided to wait till everyone was done eating first. As the children want to go play Val decided to join them. Galleous walks to over to have a chat with Thalleous and it seemed Senn and Igneous had the same idea, "Thalleous we need to talk" Galleous said in a steady tone as Thalleous turns around he has this face that you would see if someone was in pain, "I'm fine it's just a scratch nothing to worry about" Thalleous says then starts to coughing up blood into his hand as the other rush to his side to sit him down in his chair and Galleous examined the wond. As Galleous gentley removed the bandage he sees a giant gash across the side of his stomach that was stitched up but the stitches broke, "Thalleous why didn't you say anything. We need to get you out of here and to a proper healer" Senn say but Thalleous pushes Galleous's hand away, "I'm fine I've been through worst like I said before" Thalleous was pretty upset, "besides I cannot leave these children alone be themselves not again I made a promise that I will stay with them no matter what" Thalleous says but after coughing up more blood that was engough to convince him to leave," I'll stay here if it makes you feel better Ky'Thalleous. An maybe even Val could help me" Igneous says with a resuring smile," I'm sure we can manage. Besides they'll be to busy having fun that they won't even notice your gone" Igneous says as Thalleous nods and stars to walk but starts to stumble on his feet as he lays his cane ferm on the ground Galleous and Senn help him walk outside.

Thalleous whistles for his horse Timber to come and Galleous and Senn help Thalleous up on the horse an begin to ride off back towards Ataraxia but Thalleous was unsure about what was happening even with there someone at Ataraxia was waiting for Thalleous's return to speak of something that might shock all.
