Kai can’t remember a time in his life where he’s been alone. 

It feels like a part of him, part of who he is, part of his very soul. Kai, blacksmith, master of fire. Impulsive, protective, never alone. And he never wants to be. He’s got his brothers, he’s got his sister, and that’s enough for him…even if it wasn’t always.

Kai remembers the night he realized his parents are never coming back. The night he realizes the devastation, the anguish, the heartbreak that comes with abandonment, and Kai decides then and there he never wants to be abandoned ever again.

They’re not coming back.
