"Long ago, there was a goddess named Eos who fell in love with a mortal prince." Kiaran began, fingers racing upon the book he held as he sat beside Axel's bed.
"The goddess of the gentle dawn was the mother of the four winds. While all creation slept, she rose from her pink pillows to announce the coming of a new day. She dipped her rosy fingers into a cup filled with dew and sprinkled the drops over flowers and trees. All nature awoke, rejoicing to see her."
Kiaran took a glance at the boy's two different eyes, who were staring at the ceiling without looking at him at all. The demon diverted his gaze to the book again and continued.
"One morning, as Eos looked down on earth, her eyes fell on a young prince waking from his slumber. He was so handsome she could not take her eyes off him, and she wanted him for her husband."
Kiaran opened the next page slowly. Despite how he already memorized the whole story in his brain, he still read it anyway.
