Chapter 125: Chapter 116: An Abandoned child. 1775 CE

It was a cold evening in London, the rain was pouring heavily from above, soaking the muddy ground below. A little boy was trying to find some place to wait for the rain to stop. He had short red hair, his clothes were a bit dirty, but it wasn't peasant-like clothing, it had colour in it, a cyan and white colour.

He sat down on the muddy floor, leaning against a wall as the roof above him protected him from the rain. He had a gloomy face, staring at the dripping water that dropped from the roof. He hugged his legs, trying to keep himself warm, mourning.

A man with a black umbrella suddenly walked up to the boy, standing in front of him, blocking the boy’s view. The man wore a black tailcoat, and white breeches, dirtied by the mud.

“What are you doing here?” questioned the man.

“Good to see you too buddy.” the boy sneered. “Looks like you’ve lived well.”

The man sighed sadly. “Hello Sprite.” he said. Turns out, the boy wasn’t a boy at all, it was Sprite, the Trickster Eternal. “How come?”

“How come what?” she repeated impatiently.

“You know what I mean.” the man answered. “No home, dirty clothing, the hell happened to you?”

Sprite didn’t answer for a while, she just played with her shoes for a little. “Kingo abandoned me.” she answered, making the man frowned. “In Macedonia.”

“Then how the hell are you here in London?”

“Sneaked into a ship.” she said. “Wasn’t hard.”

“Why here?”

“I heard Ikaris and Sersi came here… didn’t think you and Thena were here too…” she said. “Needed a place to stay… so…”

Pluto sighed. “Get up,” he said. “I’ll take you to Sersi’s home.”

Sprite slowly got up, and walked up to Pluto. She stood close to him, using the umbrella for cover. Both of them then walked through the rain, walking towards a direction.

Pluto just looked at her while walking, and he hugged her from the side, ruffling her hair. “You’re okay now Sprite.” Pluto murmured. “You’re okay now.”

Sprite stood closer to him, feeling the warmth of his body.

Sprite was now sitting on a wooden chair in Sersi and Ikaris’s home in London, covered in a blanket, and she was staring at the furniture around.

Sersi meanwhile, was making tea for her in the kitchen, bringing it to her.

“How come Kingo be this cruel?” she questioned in annoyance. “He abandoned you just like that?”

“We… were about to do our move…” Sprite murmured, drinking tea. “We did it every five years… seeing that I can’t… age…”

“People started to question it…” Ikaris nodded. “But he left you without a word?”

Sprite just nodded, continuing to sip her tea.

Pluto sat down in front of Sprite. “Honestly, I know how he feels… but… that still doesn’t justify it.”

Sprite just sighed, hugging the blanket tightly. “I hate this…”

“What do you mean Sprite?” questioned Sersi.

“You all can live calmly for a few decades before you have to move… while me? People started to question me.”

“Well, we can’t do anything about it, Sprite.” Ikaris stated. “You can live here if you want, just don’t go out too much…”

“Can I live with Pluto instead?” she questioned. “His house sounds bigger…”

“Can’t do.” Pluto shook his head. “The duke’ll try to marry you to one of his sons if you act like you’re my family.”

“You could just refuse it, you know?”

“Sure, but you still have to attend the ball.” Pluto smiled. “You want to do that?”

“Ball?”

“It’s when the sons and daughters of the Aristocracy gather, to find marriage partners…” Sersi explained.

Sprite scoffed. “Yeah, not going to happen.”

“Then you should stay with Sersi.” Pluto said. “You can visit me, but I can’t take you in Sprite.”

“Understandable…” Sprite murmured. “Why are you playing dress up with those humans anyway?”

“It’s a way to blend in Sprite.” said Pluto, standing up, walking to the door. “I might not like some of it, but if I want to live rich, I’ve got to do what I need to do.”

“You used to destroy kingdoms out of pettiness.” Sprite commented. “Now you are just sitting in your big home… not doing anything…”

Pluto smiled as he opened the door towards the outside, still raining. “Who said I wasn’t doing anything? Pleasure to meet you again, Sprite, visit often.”

Then, Pluto exited the place, closing the door, leaving the three alone.

Sprite was confused, and turned to Sersi.

Sersi sighed at her gaze, and explained. “He’s trying to make a child.” she said.

“Make?”

“Eternals can’t have children.” Ikaris stated, frowning. “He’s trying to break that.”

“So you mean…”

“Maybe he’ll find something for you too Sprite.” Sersi then took the cups from the table, and walked to the kitchen. “Your room’s upstairs, first door to the right.”

Sprite was baffled at the thought, she just sat there, looking at the wall in front of her.

Then, she smiled.
