Yep, more Surface stuff.

Seren had his arrow drawn, he saw his target, a stag. It started to eat some grass on the ground, Seren then let go of the arrow.

*Ka-chunk*

The stag fell over, it's neck impaled by the arrow. Seren walked over and harvested some of the meat and hide, he walked back to town and gave said items to the person that requested it. It was his last task for the day, he went back to the station and sat down as he reviewed some paperwork. The bankruptcy files didn't go through seeing as they had enough money to pass by, he sighed as he looked at some more files. Apparently, his son did more than just take from Aaron, he stole from multiple people in the town. He used his so-called 'power' to 'tax' them, he even invested some of the money in an illegal drug trade which somehow earned him more money. All of it was found in his clubhouse a little aways from the town, the people involved were arrested and the drug trade was shut down. He even had a small thing with other thieves, they stole with him and they splited the profit.

"Geez, what has my son been up to in his spare time?" He asked himself

That's when he got up and left the station, he walked over to Aaron home. He saw that there was a cupboard in the way, so he had to enter through the roof. He moved the cupboard back up and looked around, his place was kind of small for one person. He didn't really have a bed on the second floor, it was more like a pile of old cloth made to be the mattress and his blanket that he would have around him is what he slept under. He did have a bathroom but he would have to go out and get water to do anything except go to the toilet, in the center of what was considered the living room was a rug that he most likely laid on as sunlight would hit the spot perfectly. Nearby was a table with some plates inside the cabinets along with wooden knives and forks in the drawers, carved to perfection for consuming food. He didn't see food or fridge, so he most likely had eaten them before they could go bad and used his money to buy food for the usual three meals a day.

"His life must have been hell living alone." Seren mumbled

That's when he saw a loose bit of stone, he moved it and saw a small ornate silver box with a blue gem with gold lining all around it like vines. In it was a note, he read it.

Dear whoever found this

You probably found this box after exploring my home to see if i've gone missing or to look for evidence or to check on me (which is unlikely)

This box formerly or still does contain my life savings, if my life savings are not there. I most likely took them, if they are. Spend it on stuff you need, not what you want. Even if you've bullied me in the past.

There are other items here to find but they are probably not worth much as this box or even the money inside, so if you do find them.

Use them as you will.

Formerly alive or still alive

Aaron

Seren put down the note, realizing that his son had done a lot more harm than he thought, he got up and look around. He found notes relating how much money and food he lost, the amount of money lost was the same but the amount of food stolen was actually noticeable. Even marking down the days he had no food due to his money either stolen or his food stolen, he had found evidence on multiple raids on his home which included the reason he didn't have a fridge or even proper plates and silverware, he also had schematics on weaponry he was learning to build for hunting purposes, he had a book marked with money gained and lost to work up to a goal of getting a proper self defense weapon, he even was looking at housing as if he wanted a different home. Some of this was enough evidence along with the others to convict Seren's son of stealing from Aaron alone, the rest just proved Aaron was trying to live life. Seren grabbed the items and headed out the door, not before giving one last glance and saying this.

"I still hope your alive."

He then left, knowing that all this stuff would have to be given back to the proper owner soon.

Yep, Aaron does live a sad, sad life indeed.

I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
