A trembling hand held a piece of paper within it's digits, beautiful eyes scanning over the words that he had been waiting to read his entire life. It had taken him a lot of effort to obtain such confidential files, having to pay someone an obscene amount of money he didn't even have just to hire someone to pretend to be a monk, and then travel all the way back to the U.S.A. to relay the information he had discovered.

But fortunately for Kaleb, it had proved worth it. Sunnydale, California was the location of the one he had been seeking for years. He knew all about her. He knew of her expellment from home, of her search for the key, but most importantly, he knew that she was lonely, and beautiful, trying to survive in a cold, cruel world that didn't belong to her.

Kaleb was determined to take away that pain he knew she felt. He'd hold her in his arms, love her, and do everything in his power to help her get home, because that's what he knew would make her happy. That's all he truly wanted was to see his Goddess happy. Glorificus deserved nothing less.

Kaleb couldn't remember a time when he hadn't been thinking of Glory, trying to seek her out. It had been his promise to his mother on her deathbed, but it wasn't just because of that. He had one picture of Glory he had obtained during his research, some years back. Every night, he stared at that picture, memorizing every line, every curve. She was truly breathtaking; something in her eyes made him fall in love with her. It killed him to know that she was in such pain. To see anyone he loved in pain was almost more than he could bear.

Kaleb had witnessed more pain that he could stand from his loved ones. He was only a child when his father ran off with another woman, leaving his mother all alone and beyond heartbroken to raise Kaleb all by herself. She had done the best she could, schooling him well in the craft, teaching him how to be a good person, but since that day that her husband left, she had slowly withered away, and eventually cancer had taken her life. The cancer only came because of her broken heart, Kaleb knew. So, in reality, his father had killed his mother.

Kaleb wouldn't allow the same mistake to happen twice. Glorificus would not be broken, left to wither away into nothingness. Kaleb would find her, and love her like no other being could, and he would get her home to where she would be a true God again. Her salvation was in his hands.
