NSFW: His Night Sky

They reached Louis' residence past noon.

The old man was pale as a ghost. His voice trembled slightly, both from fear and exhaustion.

"Please help my grandson," the old man said, falling to his knees.

He held in his arms a small young boy who appeared to be asleep.

"What happened?" Yuki asked as she helped the old man to stand up.

"The curse got to him. She found him despite all my efforts to hide my only remaining family."

"Speak clearly, what is this curse you are talking about?" Kaede's authoritative voice was heard loud and clear, demanding a concise explanation of the old man's situation.

"I was cursed by a past lover. I didn't know she was a witch then. I never intended to hurt her but I fell in love with another. When she found out, she cursed me. The curse took everyone precious to me. My wife, my daughter, and now, she threatened to take away the last of my family. My grandson. He is all that I have. Please save him, I beg you."
