The Interdimensional Traveler/Senza's Path/Unarmed
You've been taking care of your now 12-year-old little brother Avus since your dad died in the Planetary Wars 3 years ago. He was the Colonel of the Andritian Army and a highly decorated war hero. It was his wish that Avus be put in your care when he died. Normally he would've gone to your Mother Deannis but your father pulled some strings and got you signed as his Legal Guardian instead even though you are only 17 years old and therefore TECHNICALLY a minor yourself. Your mother has a Highly Dangerous and Unstable Illness that causes her to Randomly Burst into moments of Rage and Violence when she becomes stressed or Depressed. So, the last thing you wanna do is scare your brother and cause him to run away to your mother or something so you decide to go check things out Unarmed. Besides if things do end up going wrong at least you still have Hand to Hand Combat Training. You take a deep breath and prepare yourself just in case you need to fight off an intruder. You then open up your Bedroom Door and step out into the Hallway and look around. Your house is still pretty dark except for the hallway you are currently standing in. The Glowing, Spherical Shaped, Floating, Automatic Lights are giving off a slightly ominous blue glow. You look down the hallway and see your Little Brother's door open a bit. You get an ominous vibe and begin speed walking down the Hallway and call out, "Avus!?" There's no answer... Understandably panicked you quicken up your pace and sprint down the hallway. Once you reach your little brother's Bedroom Door you slam it open... You just stand there in Shock as you look on and see your Little Brother's Bedding seemingly pulled off his bed as well as his Bedroom Window open wide, the Breeze blowing his Violet Silk curtains and your Little Brother Nowhere in sight... You just collapse to your knees and begin to sob uncontrollably as you feel a sense of Sadness and Failure run through you. "I've failed him as a brother and a Protector... How could someone take such a sweet boy from his bed!?" You think to yourself. After you cry for about a minute you hear something you'll never forget...
"Big Brother? What's wrong, why are you crying?"
You stop crying and quickly turn around and see Avis standing there in his Pink Satin PJ's... Perfectly Fine. Every fiber of your being wants to scream and yell at him for scaring you so bad. However, the only thing you can muster is running over to him and giving him a hug. Holding him tighter than you ever have before. You then collapse to your knees again but this time you end up pulling him down with you. You just bury your head in his neck and cry for about another minute.
He then takes his Index finger and Thumb places it on your chin and lifts up your head to face him. He then wipes away your tears and once again asks you Calmly "What's wrong?" Calmed down you reply, "What happened? Where were you? Are you Ok?" You bombard him with questions before he does something he's never done before that manages to surprise you a bit... He leans in and gives you a kiss on the Lips and then explains...
"I'm OKAY Big Brother... I was overheating so I stood up on my bed and opened my window to let some cool air come in. As I was getting down I somehow managed to wrap my bedding around my foot and I fell off my bed. Then, as I was going down, I ended up hitting my forehead on the corner of my stand and cut myself. So, I went into the bathroom to dress my wound like you taught me." You let out a huge sigh of relief knowing your brother was okay. "Well, let me see how you did." You then swipe his beautiful bangs to the side and check the wound.
"Wow Avus. you disinfected and dressed it perfectly. Dad would've been proud." Avus sniffles a bit and says,
"You really think so?" You smile and nod. You then walk over to his bed and fix his bedding. "Alright, let's get you back to bed Little Brother." You motion for him to get under the covers and lay down. He does so without any problem. After you tuck him in you go to leave his room...
"Senza?" He asks Inquisitively...
"Yes, Avus?"
"Can you read me a Bedtime Story?" You look at the clock on his stand and it says it's 5:05 AM
