Trigun - Suffer the Little Children: Chapter One

"I didn't want to die this way!" His arm fell to the floor. His cigarette dropped from his mouth. Nicholas D. Wolfwood was dead. His body left knelt clinging to his Cross Punisher.

It was the hardest thing Millie had ever gone through. The one man she loved was dead before they had been able to live their lives together. The only thing that kept her going was Vash, Meryl and the most precious thing Nicholas left behind, their son, Damon Nicholas Wolfwood. Millie thanked her lucky stars for that one night they had together. Her love for family deepened now that she had her own child.

After the final battle with Knives, Millie decided to go to December and care for the children at Wolfwood's orphanage. Not wanting to leave her best friend, Meryl pleaded with her boss, which begrudgingly agreed, to let her transfer to the insurance branch in December. Vash came with Meryl, who married a few months after they moved. Vash became the sheriff of December, and began to live the peaceful life he always wanted to. Knives came along with Vash, but still hating the "human garbage", lived on the outskirts of December. After two years of philosophizing, Vash was finally able to convince Knives that humans weren't all that bad. Knives left December to go on a journey to cities with dysfunctional Plants. There he would revive and release his "sibling" and find the town alternate means of industrialization.

Unfortunately, when Damon was 7, tragedy struck..
