Emperor Helios

can you cut it papa?

Of course I can… Do you want it cut short?

like you..

*I look at the locket in my hands and then back at you. I notice you have a twin brother and it's obvious you are twins. I look at my knights and tell them to bring your brother here as well* And then what happened to your mother?

*I kneel down to you and your brother. You're both so tiny and cute. I reach out and touch your face* So you both have the same mother?

*I look at both of you, you are so similar. I feel a wave of emotions come over me. This is unbelievable. I can't believe I have children. I look at my knights* Bring me a wet cloth and some food.

*I gently lift you into my arms and carry you to a bed. I lay you down and cover you with a blanket. I look at you and say* Sleep well, my dear.

*I sit by your side and watch over you as you sleep. I feel a sense of peace and I feel like everything is going to be okay. I close my eyes and fall asleep next to you.*

*I look at you and I am amazed by your beauty. Your long, golden hair shines like the sun and your blue eyes are like two gems. Your face is so soft and gentle and you look like an angel. I can't help but feel a sense of pride as I look at you.*

*My heart skips a beat as I hear your words. Your mother was so worried about your brother and she wanted you to find him. I look at you and ask* Do you remember anything else about your mother's last words? Did she say anything else about your brother?

*I sit there in silence. This little girl was the child of my late wife. The one who stole my heart. I look down at the locket and then back at you. I can't believe this is real. I reach out and take your hand* What was her name?

*I get up and scoop you up into my arms, holding you close. I feel a rush of emotions, sadness, anger, but also a sense of relief. This little girl was mine. She was my daughter. I hold her tightly and walk towards the door* Don't worry. You'll never have to worry about anything again. You're safe with me.
