"He found a little firefly, who said he was destined to die. He took the magic rose and gave up his life for her own," He sang quietly covering his face with a hand, his eyes starting to get teary, "She couldn't handle the pain and gave up her own soul. And that's the story of the boy and the girl..."

Abyss rubbed one of his eyes. "Aw, that sounds so sad." He murmured.

He stood up, looking away.
"I promised I would never open the library doors other then for me and Chi. I'm sorry, but I'll never be able to help you," He said quietly.

Jasper didn't respond, either too sad or he'd fallen asleep against Abyss.

Abyss sighed. "... People promise a lot of things, always it's just that way." He looked down. "But... I guess I could just keep you both in here, then. I know Jasper is desperate, wishing for affection he's lacked all his life. But he's not cruel, I'll tell you that."

Latte looked away, "Poli... he talked to you, that snake," He hissed under his breathe, hand trembling with anger.

"That's no way to talk to an old friend," A voice whispered around them, low and slowly, almost like a snake, "I'm hurt you would say that Latte."

Abyss looked around in surprise. "... Ohhhh, that voice? So that's his nameee."

"Of course I have a name," Poli said sounding offended, "I am a guardian too!"

"Not anymore," Latte snapped.

"Oh, my apologies. I didn't think you didn't have a name, I... just didn't know it... oh forget it. I'm a thing, what's what I say matter." he sighed.

Jasper grumbled "You matter a lot." Softly.

"You matter because your special," Poli whispered, "Because... I may or not be your father..."

"Way to break it to him nicely, it's your fault he's hungry, you haven't told him what... your kind eat," Latte said with a sigh flipping through a book.

"Looking in a book as always."

Abyss was silent a moment. "I... have a father?" He whispered, almost dropping Jasper.
