Chapter 1: BETRAYAL

[The year 1996] [Location: St. Louis Orphanage] [Windsville Town]

Dark clouds covered the sky, with occasional thunderclaps looming over the small town of Windsville. The road was devoid of humans, and the shops were closed. The doors and windows of all the houses were shut tight. It was pin-drop silence, and the atmosphere of the town was gloomy.

A man with a newborn child in his arms knocked on the orphanage's door loudly. He was approximately 27 years old. His black hair was ruffling with the blows of the wind. His clothes were old and shabby. And from the looks on his exhausted face, it seems like he faced an immeasurable loss and was completely broken.

After a few minutes, the door finally opened, and a middle-aged woman peeked out. She was in her early-30s. She was startled after seeing the man. It looks like she is familiar with him. She hurriedly opened the door and invited the man in.

"You look tired. What are you thinking about bringing a child in this storm?" She said with a sigh. She looked up at the sky and shook her head. A gust of wind passed by, fluttering her long, blonde curly hair, "God, save us." She muttered and closed the door after they entered the building.

Earlier that day, the town's mayor announced that he got information from the higher-ups about a typhoon that was supposed to pass through the heart of the town. So, everyone locked themselves in their homes.

People of that town were afraid because last year, when a storm passed through Windsville, although it didn't cause much destruction, an epidemic spread out soon after, killing around thirty people and rendering more than fifty with deformities and disabilities. So, superstitious beliefs played a significant part in their cautiousness.

...

Candles were burning near the walls and tables, dimly illuminating the room. The power supply has been shut down to prevent accidents during the storm.

The man sat on a sofa near the wall. His eyes were fixed on the tiny boy's sleeping face he was holding in his arms. He lightly touched the child's face and gave a sad smile.

"I will bring you some tea and milk for the child," The woman was about to go to the kitchen.

"Triss," But the man grabbed her hand, stopping her. She stopped but didn't look back.

"15 years... I waited for 15 years for you to come back. And now, just when I..." Triss stuttered, holding back his tears. It's been too long since someone called her by her real name. In the orphanage, everyone calls her mother. She has almost forgotten her real name.

"Luna died last week," said the broken man in an emotionless voice.

"What?" Triss looked back with a shocked expression. Her eyes went toward the little life in that man's arms, "Is that...?" She quickly kneeled on her knees and looked at the child's face.

"She left me alone with him. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Where did it go all wrong? Cops are saying I murdered her. Even those who I called my friends abandoned me. My brothers took everything I had. And now, they are pinning her murder on me," said the man.

His shoulders were trembling in sorrow and anger. The brothers he had always looked after all his life showed their real characters and stabbed him in the back. They took over all his properties and spun Luna's death as a murder, or maybe they might be the ones who killed her.

"I should have listened to her. I should have... This is all my fault. Isn't it? I killed her," The man said as tears dripped from the corner of his eyes, "It wasn't supposed to be like this. I did everything for them, and yet..." His voice drifted off.

"Can I?" Triss carefully took the little child in her arms, "Oh! Look at you. You got your mother's hair. Red as scarlet blooms..." She lightly kissed the child's forehead.

The man stood up. He took a letter out of his pocket, "Luna was holding this letter when I found her. She wanted to give it to our child. I don't know what it is, but I want you to give it to him on his 18th birthday..." He placed the letter on the table.

Triss took a glance at the letter and saw a name written on it.

**Alex**

"What do you mean?" Triss stuttered.

When she heard about Luna's death, her mind blanked out for a moment. The death of her best friend has struck her hard.

"I don't want my child to grow up with the brand of a murderer's boy on his back," The man took out a folded document and placed it beside the letter, "This has everything we saved for him. Please, take care of him. I am begging you. You don't have to do much... Just look after him like all the other orphans." He said, clenching his fist.

He knows that the road he is about to walk now on is filled with blood and death. He doesn't want his child to face those dangers and wishes for him to live a happy life. He knows that he can trust Triss with his child.

Triss and Luna was his childhood friend. They grew up together in Windsville and fell in love together. He always loved Luna more than anyone. Luna was in love with him but never dared to confess.

However, Triss was also in love with him. And Luna found out about that, so they confessed their love for him, and he chose Luna. Triss accepted the rejection with a smile. Although her heart and dreams were shattered, she smiled at her friend's happiness. Soon after the marriage ceremony, he and Luna left the town and never came back.

"What will you do?" Triss asked with teary eyes. The memories and emotions she thought she buried deep in her heart were welling up in her heart.

"I will do what I have to do. Promise me, don't tell him about me..." That's the last words he said before leaving his child with his closest friend.

[The year 2014]

[Beep] [Beep] [Bang] "Freaking clock, let me sleep a bit longer," A young boy was sleeping peacefully in his room until the alarm clock started to ring, "Hammer of the Ancients..." He yelled and threw the clock at the wall, breaking it in two.

[Baaam] The door flew open, and a woman rushed in with a large stick. She slammed it on the boy's ass with all her strength, "Get up!!! How dare you sleep so peacefully after hiding this from me?" She yelled.

She was holding a test paper with a large round red zero on the total marking spot.
