The feeling of a knife plunging into the chest of the man he hated while blood ran through his small fingers, was accompanied by the feeling of a heartbeat growing fainter and fainter as while tears streamed down his face. He hated the man for what he had done, and he would never forgive him, but now that he had killed them he hoped that they would rest in peace… they, who were laying down just metres away from him, were nothing but cold lifeless husks now. He would never forget the face of them man who killed them, nor would he forget the sweet release he felt when he plunged the knife into the mans chest during this night. But despite this, all he could think of right now was how scared and alone he was without anyone in his life to be beside him. After killing the man, he just sat there, covered in blood while crying until the morning came.

Thanatos woke up from the dream that he has had many times over the years and took a look around. Underneath a tree inside of a forest, on his side clinging to him like how a child does to a stuffed animal, was the girl he came to know as his sister, Shyelle. After watching her use him as a full body pillow for several minutes he decided to get up before she did in order to avoid a scene he would very well like to avoid.
'*sigh* she looks so innocent when she’s asleep, its too bad she isn’t so peaceful when she’s awake…’ Thanatos thought as he delicately removed himself from Shyelle’s grasp.
Looking up to the sky and noticing how early it is, he decides to go and hunt something in order for them to eat breakfast.

After hunting for about 20 minutes, Thanatos came back to the tree with the sleeping girl under it accompanied by a small deer hung over one shoulder and a bundle of wood on the other. He then lit a fire and hung the deer above it using some of the wood gathered by placing the pieces together carefully so he can watch it cook. After watching the deer cook for a short while he went to go wake up Shyelle.
‘Ok, I have to do this carefully now…’ after Thanatos approached Shyelle’s feet in order to get as far away from her reach as possible, he taps her foot with his and then swiftly moves behind the tree for cover.

“Thana!!!! *ooph*” (Shyelle)
The girl named Shyelle had jumped towards where Thanatos was standing only a moment ago with arms spread out wide once she had awaken, and then landed face first on the ground as a result.
“Owwwww, Thanaaaaaa... you meanie…” (Shyelle)
As Shyelle rubbed her head to make it feel better, she complained to Thanatos.
“Well if you didn’t jump at me every time you got up in the morning, you wouldn’t be thinking that would you? Now get up, breakfast is going to be ready soon.” (Thanatos)
After scolding her like he did every morning, Thanatos walked out from behind the tree and over to the fire in order to check on the process of the deer being cooked. Once he determined the deer was fully cooked and called out Shyelle over once more as she was still standing beside the tree pouting, he took the deer off the fire and placed it on a small rack he made of wood in order to cut it. As he was finishing cutting the dear, Shyelle came over and sat on the ground beside him while still pouting.
“Come on, stop pouting. If you don’t eat soon the food will get cold and then you’ll really be upset.” (Thanatos)
“I am upset! I didn’t get my morning dosage of Thana when I woke up and instead I found myself with my face in the ground!” Shyelle retorted as she turned her head to the side away from Thanatos and crossed her arms to make her point.
“Uh huh… well, we’re going to town today so you better eat up while you have the chance.” Once he said this to her he rubbed her head, and as a result she immediately became happy as she swayed her body side to side with a smile on her face.

Once they finished eating and put the fire out, they decided it was time for them to go into the hated town they both haven't seen in years.
