A Dream Of A Distant Past

***

[Agent Helios POV]

"Once upon a time, there lived a handsome little prince in a faraway kingdom."

Hm? That beautiful voice… It sounds familiar.

"Beloved by his parents, the king, and queen, he was showered with everything he could wish for. Not only was he loved by his parents, but everyone in the kingdom adored him! For he was a kind and gentle soul—like an angel sent by heaven."

"Woah," the cute voice of a little boy gasped in awe. "He sounds amazing. I want to be his friend."

Ha-ha. I know this story. I must be dreaming.

"I am sure he would love to be your friend as well."

"Yaaay! Where can I meet him?"

"I'm afraid you cannot meet yet."

"Huh? But why?"

"You see, the little prince has a problem."

"Hm? What happened? I'll help him!"

"Really? If so, he would be very much delighted."

"He-he-he. How can I help, though? What's the problem?"
