Glenn POV

There was no God. No God for this world.

No matter how many kingdoms had been and was still to be, there really wasn't. Those Kingdoms were ruled by lies.

Glenn had had to wake up too roughly to the reality that was in front of his very eyes to believe in anything holy. He had woken up to endless worries in the morning for all of the time he remembered. Ever since he was just a kid he had struggled to live, to fit in the mold of society and care for others at the same time. Glenn was lost.

The world had been crazy. With all the poverty, differences between the same species, every weak individual fell. And in the end it all came down to this?

The Apocalypse. There was definitely no God.

But then there were times when Glenn thought there was something unpredictably angelic about someone.

Angelic about the way that certain someone's arms closed around him ever so gently, eyes looking down at him full of want and care and trust that only Glenn could recognize. There had never been someone Glenn could curl up against at night, nobody to hold onto.

Except Daryl.

Glenn had known when he couldn't keep himself from wanting more. He had wanted to know everything, wanted to memorize every scar on that back and be good enough to be the one healing the inner ones. He had wanted to learn more and Daryl had let him. Daryl was an angel.

An angel not only for Glenn, but others as well. Standing up on his own. Growing stronger every day. Being the guardian of the whole group. Not letting his past shadow what he's become. Helping Glenn do what he couldn't in his former life. A soldier.

Glenn didn't know what he had ever done in his pitiful life to deserve something so good, so strong.

He just wanted to be something as good to Daryl in return.

People might still build castles in the middle of an apocalypse, kingdoms even. They might use fraud and lie to gain power, to get to enjoy the feeling of control. It's human nature.

It's up to the people themselves, though; what they want to believe in.

And there still exist some who want to help others not for the sake of power, but happiness. Even during the end of the world.
