I'm adding my own character to this story now. His name is Kale.

"My king." Kale spoke is a low and slightly irritated voice. He had short and spiky blond hair with just a few hints of brown. His greens eyes were cold and filled with hate. Currently, he was standing in the king's room in a brown shirt and matching pants.

Ryner was sleeping peacefully on the king's bed while the king himself sat against the headboard. A stack of papers lay in his lap and Sion didn't look up as he spoke. "I don't need to look up to know that there is something bothering you."

"It's the way you treat this man." He pointed an accusing finger at the slumbering Ryner.

"I don't see your point." Sion didn't like where this was going.

"You are allowing a random person who is not even worthy of being in your presence to sleep in your room on your bed!" His voice rose in anger as he continued. He was loyal to Sion but his vison was clouded. He thought highly of a status a person had and didn't care about honor. Sion finally looked up.

"First, he is my friend, not just a random person. Second, he has as much right as any other to be in my presence. Third, he was tired and had done me a favor. It's only fair to pay him back for his hard work." By this time the argument had woken Ryner. He slowly sat up rubbing the sleep out of his eye.

"Hey Sion." Kale's eye twitched as he herd that way Ryner spoke. It was a lazy tone that held no respect for the man he was talking to. Ryner had a low status. Kale thought. That of a filthy commoner or a street rat.

"You can't talk like that to him. He is the King. You shouldn't even be in here you-"

"Enough." Sion's stern voice cut his off. "I'm allowing him to stay in here and that is the end of it." Sion was usually a calm man but something about the thought of others treating Ryner like dirt, someone they could hurt just because, made his blood boil.

"But he is a monster!" Ryner winced as he said the last word. Many have called him that name with the same amount of hatred and disgust as Kale is now.

"No!" Sion cut in before Ryner could do anything. "He is just as human as any other person in this castle. Now, if you would kindly get out of my room." Kale stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him. Kale was frustrated that the king would protect such a thing. Yes a thing. If the king claims he's not a monster fine. He is a heartless weapon that we should be using, not let him sleep in the king's room. We will definitely have to do something about this.

Back in the King's room

"Sorry." Sion heard Ryner's whisper to his right.

"No. Don't listen to him. Look at me." Sion hooked his figure under Ryner's chin and forced him to look him in the eyes. "You are not a monster. You just have different abilities. You're human and you're mine." He leaned in until his lip met with Ryner's. Ryner fell onto his back as Sion climbed on top of him, straddling him. "You're nice and smart and have a great personality. I will always protect you."

Ryner smiled up at him and looped his arms around the king's neck. "Thank you."

"I love you." The words came easily from Sion's mouth but it still had a big impact on Ryner.

"I love you too."

"Where are we?" Sion asked.

"I have no idea but there is magic everywhere," Ryner answered, activating his eyes.

"The King is missing!"

"Ryner's gone, too!"
