When she thought about everything that Elias might have gone through, she felt a pain rising within her chest.
Amongst the Ashborn Family, she only cared about Aliath. And this child was the last direct blood relative of that person that Aliath would have ever cared about.
She still remembered all the times that Aliath had talked to her about his little brother. At that time, Aliath was grieving that his mother had died while giving birth to his little brother. Still, he never blamed his little brother for it.
He knew that Elias had it harder than him. At least he had grown up with a mother to support him, and a loving father who supported everything he did, albeit with some limitations.
Elias was different. He didn't have a mother to support him, and their father had also grown distant after their mother's death.
His Father started locking himself away, or going out on a mission, becoming a rarity to be seen around the house.
