Elijah's first year at Academy had been a very eventful one the boy had to admit. He had grown up in the orphanage, before coming of age to attend schoolings like other boys and girls his age. Due to his being Hallowed, the parents who would have been his decided against keeping him once he came from his stone and the unusual trait of his being Hallowed was unveiled. Elijah held no ill will for the parents that overlooked him. If they hadn't done that, he would have never been adopted by Elspeth. The Fallen was a kind, wonderful woman who loved him from the moment she laid eyes on him Elijah felt like. He had never felt so secure, and safe as he did when he was held in her arms hidden by her wings curled around the both of them.
If he'd grown up differently, he would have never met Ashe. That alone was another great reason to thank those that helped create his magic genome. The boy's 7 short little tails began wiggling with enthusiasm as he found a reason to smile. The expression was a bright and happy one of the freckled boys face. He would gladly go through all that time being lonely if it meant he could keep Elspeth and Ashe in his life!
Giggling as the boy worked on making his Momma and he a sandwich to surprise her in bed early that morning...the small Kumiho wore a smile on his face as he held his head up high. All the nightmares and daydreams in the Realms could bully him for all he cared. None of that would take away the family Elspeth had given him or the friendships he had. Elijah wondered if he could find that shy quiet Kumiho girl he saw with a peppy Grimm gal who was energetic and racing around like a mad woman. They both had seemed nice...and more friends never hurt. Hmm... Elijah would find out eventually he supposed.
