It was a humid summer's day Ariel sat on porch of the orphanage smiling as he watched the four children of his orphanage run about, and play in the grass. The eldest of the group was Nana who would be sixteen soon. She was followed by Matthias age fourteen who was currently sitting with the youngest Kent and watching the clouds go by, then there was Emile age thirteen who was sitting under the only tree near the orphanage, and who was humming while she worked on fixing the other orphans; and his clothes. Finally there was little Kent age eleven, he was currently sleeping (and drooling) on Matthias.
Ariel remembered how all the orphans came to him, Nana was unceremoniously dropped into his hands by her relatives, with her screaming and crying the whole time, Matthias had been found in alley way, his throat slit and damn near dead from blood loss. He recovered but unfortunately was rendered mute, Emile who he found knocking on his door in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on her back and a too haunted expression. Then there was Kent who he found during the storm of the century standing over the bodies of what Ariel thought was his parents, and looking like a drowned kitten.
To be honest Ariel was entirely sure if he could call this an orphanage since no one ever came to visit after he gained the four children, and they all thought of him as their father anyways, he didn't mind though he didn't need anyone else just his children were fine. He let out a sigh and listened to the sounds of the insects this city...it was like a cage trapping all of them.
