A young man was walking through a bustling crowd, he looked very out of place. He was wearing clothes were considered of very better condition than the rest of the crowd. He had a very kind smile on his face, and he was considerably handsome. The young man was Gabriel, it had been a month since he killed his teacher. The moment he committed the crime was the moment he left the small town of his, he didn't want to deal with the church's force, as he knew that the church had very super natural power and was too weak to deal with them. He fled from the town through a horse and traveled across 3 small towns to come to this medium town called Flowerless. Contrary to the name the place was filled with a lot of flower and it looked beautiful. "Wow this place is very active and busy, this would be the best place to start my artist career." Gabriel softly mumbled to himself as he was walking with his head on the ground.
"Ouch, watch where you're going you little twerp." A man with a bombing voice said, he stared daggers at Gabriel who was knocked on the ground sitting on his bottom. As Gabriel wasn't paying attention to where he was going he accidentally knocked into this man who looked grizzly. "My apologies sir, would you like me to apologize to you by painting a portrait of you?" Contrary to the grizzly man's expectation the young man he walked to wasn't annoyed or angered by what he said instead he sounded very happy. "No.. no I'm ok just watch where you're going to next time." The man replied and fled quickly, for some reason he felt a sense of threat looming when the young man asked if he could paint him. "Oh, how sad there is a potential customer gone." Gabriel wasn't bothered by the incident but he was irk that the man fled, he really wanted to paint a picture of him. "Sigh, how is a wandering artist suppose to make a living in this world if people won't even let him paint them for free."
As Gabriel was aimlessly walking around he spotted in the corner of his eye a young girl holding the hand of her little brother. The young girl looked very pretty, but the boy looked quite normal compared to his sister. Gabriel walked towards the two sibling who were playing with a ball. "Hey kids would you like me to paint you two?" As he walked towards the two sibling he asked in the nicest voice he could, the two siblings were caught off guard by him and his strange request. They look at the young man who asked, he looked young but radiated the sense of a maturity you would see in only a couple of adults. They obviously heard of con men who tried to trick kids and kidnap them so they had their guard up against this stranger. "No thank you we have no money sir." The sister replied, with a strong voice. The young man just chuckled and said, "I'm not gonna charge you for painting the two of you, take it as special as I'm beginning my career as a artist I would like to do something nice for my first customers, also I know what you're worried about, I can just paint the two of you here." The young man didn't seem bothered by how protective they were against him, instead he still acted very calmly. As the siblings decided what to do they came to the conclusion of just letting him paint them as they had nothing to lose in this deal. "Sure but only if you paint us here." The young man just nodded to their request.

Gabriel took out his art supplies and sat on the bench, it made a creaking noise when he sat on it. He suddenly seemed like a very different person from his carefree personality earlier. He looked very serious and stared at the two siblings very intently and with the first stroke of his brush, came the second, and the third. This continued until he was finished with his last stroke of his brush, Gabriel took a look at his canvas and nodded his head in approval he knew it wasn't finished but he'll get the last finishing touch for it tonight. He gave the canvas to the siblings and when they looked at the canvas they were stunned, the canvas was absolutely beautiful the two of them in the painting looked stunning even the younger brother was stunned by how the artist was able to make him look this good. They looked at the young man who was smiling across from them and thanked him. They went home with the picture as dusk was setting. "Hehehe how could they thank me when the painting isn't even finished, but I guess it'll be finished with the special touch by tonight." Gabriel thought of this with a big grin on his face, and he stalked the siblings very quietly.
