The sight of his two children approaching side by side brought a somber smile to his face. Devya would run to him while Ares stood slightly farther off, a knowing look in his eye. It was evident he had already accepted what was to come before even being told. The boy was bright and Seraphim couldn't help but feeling proud that he had grown in such a way outside the influence of other who were too corrupt or too kind. He had taught himself well.
The man returned his daughter's affections, then pulled away. Thank you both for coming. Ares, it has been too long. He offered the boy a quick nod before continuing. I want to tell you both what is going on before the others arrive. You were both present when Morphine gave me an ultimatum... She wished for me not to see our children, with my life as the price if I did. I have decided that I would rather take that risk than not be in the lives of those that want me there.
Verdant gaze remained fix on his son as he spoke, knowing that he was the only one of his children who wanted anything to do with him. He would wait now for either of them to comment and for the rest of those invited to show their faces.
