Ragged Heroes
Fear

Dagonet is used to seeing the fear in people's eyes when they first look upon him. He can see the same fear in this boy's eyes as he is pulled from his prison, out into the pale rebuking sunlight.

Dagonet has always wanted a family; a wife and children that he can come home to and who will greet him when he returns. It is what he longs for in every waking moment.

Dagonet looks down at the boy in his arms. Clear blue eyes stare back at him – unafraid.

Maybe a family is not so far away after all.
